The Interrogation

The next day, it was just dawn.

Uchiha Tunan struggled to get up.

He had consumed too many chakra to cast the high-intensity illusion technique yesterday, and it was difficult to recover after sleeping for only a few hours.

His body was still in a semi-weakened state.

The first thing he did when he got up was to open the diary.

During this period of time, there was nothing major. The diary was basically filled with water.

The contents of the Will of Fire were written over and over again, and Uchiha Tunan was about to vomit.

October 6th.

Something big happened today. I thought about it for a long time but could not write.

Chiryu asked me to meet at the waterfall in the forest at night, saying that she had something to tell me.

But I did not expect that she would not wear clothes in front of me.

She also wanted to be my woman.

I ran away.

I only regarded her as my sister, and I had long liked Meinai in my heart.

I thought this matter would end here.

But I didn't expect to meet Meinai on the way back to the village at night.

Her expression was very strange, but I didn't notice it at first.

I mustered the courage to confess to her and even kissed her.

She did not refuse.

I was so happy at that time that I felt that I was the happiest person in the world.

But she told me that she killed Chiryu with her own hands.

I didn't know what to do. According to the rules of the village, the behavior of Meinai should be executed.

But I was reluctant.

Only Meinai and I knew this secret.

On one side is the village, and on the other is my lover. How should I choose?

The handwriting of the diary was very messy and scrawled, and it suddenly stopped when it reached this point.

Uchiha Tunan also specially left a few ink points in the blank space behind.

Then he casually threw the pen on the open diary and left the room with a look of disappointment.

After dilly-dallying on the road for more than two hours, Uchiha Tunan finally stood in front of the Hokage's building.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi was leisurely leaning on a chair and smoking a cigarette.

Suddenly, Sarutobi sat up straight.

Then, Uchiha Tunan knocked on the door of the office.

"Please come in."

Uchiha Tunan pushed open the door and walked into the office. He looked at Sarutobi with a pale face and hesitated to speak.

Then, he slowly lowered his head and remained silent.

"Tunan, what happened?"

Uchiha Tunan clenched his fists and suddenly knelt on the ground. Tears overflowed from his eyes, and he said with a sobbing tone,

"Hokage-sama, I killed someone, please execute me!"

Sarutobi was shocked, and he came to Uchiha Tunan and said in a low voice, "Tunan, look up at me."

Uchiha Tunan slowly raised his head and looked at Sarutobi for less than a second before shifting his gaze away.

His eyes kept glancing around, looking extremely guilty.

Sarutobi frowned, feeling a little uncertain.

The most important thing now was to suppress this matter first.

Sarutobi immediately called the Anbu over.

"Bring Tunan to the interrogation department. Without my order, no one can interrogate him." Sarutobi ordered with a serious face.

"Yes."

The Anbu responded, grabbed Uchiha Tunan and left the office.

Sarutobi felt that the matter was a bit tricky.

Uchiha Tunan had shown value far beyond his peers, and he was also loyal to him.

If he were to be executed like this, Sarutobi felt very reluctant.

But killing in the village, no matter who killed, according to the rules, must be executed.

"If it really doesn't work, arrange him to the root, and then conceal his identity. It can also be regarded as saving his life."

Sarutobi had already begun to consider the last way out.

No, since he had decided to turn himself in, why was he so guilty?

Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and found something unusual.

Guilt means he lied, then...

"Anbu."

"Hokage-sama!"

"Go to Tunan's house and bring him his diary."

"Yes."

More than ten minutes later, the Anbu brought Tunan's diary to Sarutobi.

Sarutobi quickly flipped to the last few days.

Sure enough!

This child actually started dating without a word.

On one side was the village, and on the other was his girlfriend, so you chose to make yourself a scapegoat?

Sarutobi closed the diary and handed it to the Anbu.

"Return the diary and bring Uchiha Meinai to the interrogation department."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

After the Anbu left, Sarutobi walked towards the interrogation department with his hands behind his back.

Konoha's interrogation department was built underground, and there were special ninjas guarding it everywhere.

"Hokage sama!" Ryo Yamanaka, the commander of Konoha's interrogation team, also greeted Sarutobi at the door.

The two of them talked as they walked towards the interrogation room.

"Ryo, is Tunan still not being interrogated?"

"Yes, do you want to interrogate him personally?"

"No need, I'll just listen."

The latest intelligence shows that the murderer is Uchiha Meinai, and she is also Tunan's little girlfriend.

Sarutobi gave a meaningful reminder.

"Well, I understand."

There was a small room next to the interrogation room.

There was a one-sided mirror between the interrogation room, and Yuan Feisun Zhan was sitting in this room, quietly watching the situation in the interrogation room.

Meanwhile, Ryo walked into the interrogation room with a cold face.

He saw Uchiha Tunan sitting on the chair in a daze, not even raising his head.

Ryo coughed lightly and began interrogating him,

"Uchiha Tunan, I understand your situation, but there are still a few questions I want to ask you."

Uchiha Tunan said with a look of despair, "Say it, I will confess."

What do you mean you will confess?

The veins on Ryo's forehead bulged, if not for the fact that Sarutobi was watching next door, he would have punched Uchiha Tunan first.

Taking a deep breath, Ryo also opened the book, picked up the pen, and quickly wrote while asking questions.

"What is your relationship with the deceased?"

"Classmate."

"Where was the last time you met?"

"Under the waterfall on the east side of the Hokage Rock."

"What was she doing at that time?"

"She was bathing."

"What was your motive for killing her?"

"Motive?"

Uchiha Tunan was stunned when he heard this.

"That's why I wanted to kill her."

Perhaps it was because he asked too quickly, but it seemed like Uchiha Tunan hadn't thought of how to answer at all.

His eyes kept moving to the left, and he said hesitantly,

"Because... because... she likes me."

Ryo slammed his pen on the book and shouted, "Do you think it's reasonable?"

"But I don't like her."

Uchiha Tunan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"She didn't wear clothes in front of me and even hugged me. I was very confused, so I..."

"Do you know the consequences of taking the blame for others?" Ryo's tone was completely cold. He crossed his arms over his chest and gave up the idea of taking the statement.

At this point, he had basically confirmed that Uchiha Tunan was not the murderer. There was no point in taking notes.

"I didn't take the blame for others. I really didn't. I didn't. Please believe me." Uchiha Tunan shed tears and kept begging towards Ryo Yamanaka.

Ryo Yamanaka also sneered and said in a low voice,

"Well, one last question. How did you kill her?"

The moment the question came out, Uchiha Tunan immediately fell silent.

He could only lower his head deeply and gasp for breath.

After a full ten seconds, he raised his head and said with an uncertain tone,

"I... I can't remember it clearly. I think she was killed by Kunai."

"To be specific, where is the location of the cut? Is it two centimeters above the left side of the heart?"

Ryo Yamanaka also slammed his fingers on the table, as if reminding Uchiha Tunan.

"Yes! It's there." Uchiha Tunan widened his eyes and said in an extremely confident tone.

However, when Ryo heard Uchiha Tunan admit it, he immediately started to pack up his notebook and pen, not even bothering to look at Uchiha Tunan.

"Enough, we're done here."

"The deceased had her head cut off by someone and burned his head with a fireball."

"Uchiha Tunan, you have to be punished for obstructing official duties."

"In front of the interrogation department, you still want to take the blame for others."

"Stupid."

After saying that, Ryo left the interrogation room without looking back and went to the next room.
