Chapter 35: Investigation

The grieving father looked at Kakashi apologetically and immediately shouted, "Go ahead!"

There was a "creak" as the door was pulled open, and a middle-aged man in a kimono handed a burst of kunai and a letter to Tsuruta, with cold sweat on his forehead.

His hands were also trembling slightly, and he said, "Patriarch, I received this letter when I was patrolling outside a moment ago... a figure floated past, and before I could react quickly, it was pinned behind my board."

Tsuruta Yilang is too rich, and those who are rich have to carry protection guards for the safety of their own lives and properties. Whenever he goes out to talk business, he must bring at least three teams of people to protect him from the front, middle, and back. And this middle-aged guard who sent the letter is definitely a first-class ninja among his guards!

But he didn't even realize that someone was secretly watching, and he didn't react until the other party made a move. If the other party wanted to, he would probably have died.

"Give it to me, give it to me quickly, is there any news about my son?" Tsuruta Yilang hurriedly received the letter.

Just as Yuya looked up, he saw the kunai in the middle-aged guard's hand. There was a lot of sawdust near the handle, although there was little, in fact, there were some.

In order to insert a kunai all the way in, the opponent is powerful enough or their attribute chakra is attached to the kunai. Like Asuma's "Chakra Kunai," his chakra is infused into it to make it sharp enough to easily cut through stone.

Anyway, since the other party dared to enter Konoha Village arrogantly to deliver the blackmail letter, one thing is certain: the other party is definitely a Jōnin.

It's really amazing that the huge village of Konoha was invaded silently. Even if it's Orochimaru, it will take a long time to design it, right?

Seeing that no one noticed this detail, Yuya pretended to accidentally point to the kunai in the guard's hand and exclaimed strangely, "Uncle, your kunai is useless." It took a lot of effort to pull it out of the wooden door, right? There's so much sawdust!"

The middle-aged guard, who was so scared that he would lose half his life, was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yuya before nodding and saying with a wry smile, "If it weren't to prevent the letter from being ruined, I guess it could have pierced through the wooden board directly, and the opponent's strength is much stronger than mine. If he wants to kill me... I guess I would be dead..."

As soon as this comment came out, Kakashi, Gai, and Anko couldn't help but look at each other. The situation seemed to be somewhat unexpected.

Touching her chin, Anko frowned and said, "I am very suspicious now, it is probably a gang. One is delivering the letter and the other is watching the brat."

Saying this, Anko suddenly stood up, patted Yuya on the shoulder and said with a somber face, "Yuya, follow Kakashi, I will go to the Hokage building to report first, this matter is not trivial."

In order to sneak into the village silently within Konoha's protective barrier, the other party is definitely a dangerous element.

Yuya nodded and said, "Elder Anko, go ahead, I will listen to Elder Kakashi."

After reminding Kakashi again, Anko immediately ran to the Hokage building at the fastest speed.

As for Tsuruta Yilang, seeing that the matter was a bit serious at this moment, he became depressed and did not speak. As soon as Anko left, he immediately took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat from his head, relaxed, and said, "It's okay, my son is okay, my son is okay."

Taking the kunai from the middle-aged servant's hand, Tsuruta Yilang said, "Go and wait outside first, I will call you later if I have something to do."

"Yes, sir!"

After the middle-aged servants withdrew, Tsuruta Yilang handed the kunai and letter directly to Kakashi and said, "Mr. Kakashi, take a look."

Pointing to the letter with a little excitement, Tsuruta Yilang said, "The letter means that my son was kidnapped, and the kidnapper seems to have come for my money. Great, great, in this case, my son is still alive..."

"That's good, that's good..." Tsuruta Yilang breathed a sigh of relief, took out his handkerchief again, and wiped away the drops of sweat rolling down his forehead, then fiercely leaned forward, going to tightly grip Kakashi's right hand and said sincerely, "Mr. Kakashi, I know who you are!"

Kakashi: "..."

Gai: "…"

Pushing fiercely with his left hand, Kakashi was about to push him in the face. Kakashi said helplessly, " ... Mr. Tsuruta, we have something to talk about! Please let me go first, Tsuruta-san..."

Apparently realizing that his actions were inappropriate, Tsuruta Yilang let go of Kakashi's hand in embarrassment, then coughed, took the teacup from the coffee table and took a small sip. And then... then the tea in the cup disappeared.

Originally, drinking tea is a very elegant act, but I don't know why Tsuruta Yilang has a kind of funny magic when doing it. Fortunately, Anko is not here, otherwise, I will start complaining again.

As the copy ninja of Konoha Village, Kakashi is well-known in the five major countries, and Tsuruta Yilang has heard a lot about his deeds, so when he saw that the person who took the task was Kakashi, he breathed a sigh of relief. Kakashi used to be a guard of a daimyo in a small country. He had a big business in that country and was friends with the daimyo, so he spoke highly of Kakashi.

He now wanted to hire him to take care of his security, but something told him that it wouldn't be a good idea, considering his position in Konoha.

Suddenly, Tsuruta Yilang pointed his finger at the three people and said very seriously, "As long as Mr. Kakashi and you can successfully rescue my son, I will give you a separate commission! I will not let that old stranger take a part!"

Yuya's eyelids twitched, the strange old man should be referring to Sarutobi Hiruzen... I must say, this businessman is really rich to speak like this about his own leader.
