Nail (Final)

Qi Shuang gave Kakashi a deep look and slowly said, "I do know the answer to that question, but I have no evidence."

"However, I think that after hearing the answer, you'll definitely regret asking me."

"I think you'd better find an opportunity to ask Obito Uchiha in person!"

With that, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Curiosity was human nature, and Kakashi was no exception.

Thus, the more this Kirigakure man pretended to be mysterious, the more curious Kakashi became.

Unfortunately, Qi Shuang was not someone Kakashi could force to answer. Since he was unwilling to speak, Kakashi could do nothing about it.

"Thank you for clearing things up and letting us hear so much important information. We won't disturb you any longer today!" Kakashi carried the unconscious Sasuke on his back and walked straight toward the door.

"Take care, and stay safe on the way!" Qi Shuang "kindly" reminded him.

"Don't worry. I definitely will!" Kakashi opened the door and walked out without looking back.

Only after the sound of footsteps had faded did Mei Terumi quietly seek confirmation from Qi Shuang. "From what you said, the Uchiha clan's extermination was connected to Konoha's higher-ups?"

Killing every member of the Uchiha clan would have taken time. Yet during that lengthy period, such a serious crime had occurred within Konoha's urban area, and Konoha's higher-ups had shown no reaction at all. They had only noticed something after the Uchiha clan had been exterminated.

That simply made no sense.

She could only make a bold guess: Konoha's higher-ups must have known about the massacre at the Uchiha compound and had allowed it to happen.

Alternatively, the extermination of the Uchiha clan might have been ordered by Konoha's higher-ups in the first place, with them also helping cover it up.
