The hidden accusation in a top-secret medical record and the truth about the Daimyo's new favorite

Hokage's Office The curtains were drawn tightly, leaving only a solitary lamp. The light dyed the documents on the table dim yellow.

Baishi is not handling official business.

He just sat quietly, drawing silent circles with his fingers on the table. Shikaku Nara beside him was holding a tea cup, and the heat in the cup had long since dissipated.

Both of them are waiting.

A shadow condensed into shape in the corner where the light could not reach, kneeling on one knee and making no sound.

"Lord Hokage."

ANBU members presented a Scroll tightly wrapped with medical Oiled Cloth in both hands, with a tiny Sealing Formula attached to it, which was the Chakra mark unique to Tsunade.

Baishi's eyes fell on Scroll.

"Capital, everything is as usual over there?"

"Yes. Lady Tsunade contacted the target in the name of a routine physical examination. The investigation team has successfully settled in the post house, and Master Hiashi is familiarizing himself with the environment as planned."

"Go down."

"Yes."

The shadow merged into the darkness again, as if it had never appeared before.

Shikaku put down the cold tea cup and stepped forward. He looked at the Scroll with serious eyes. Tsunade was called a medical consultant during this trip, but he was actually a political spy. He walked on the tip of a knife every step of the way.

Baishi unzipped Oiled Cloth, revealing the Scroll inside. He did not open it immediately, but gently rubbed the Sealing Formula with his fingertips. The technique was very stable, with no trace of being touched.

He broke the seal.

Scroll is spread out, there is no word on it.

What comes into view is an extremely precise diagram of the Meridians and Chakra cycles of the human body. The lines of the diagram are as thin as hair, and are marked with dense symbols next to them. These symbols are not general words, but a set of encrypted medical codes jointly formulated by the Tsunade and Konoha Medical Department core layers.

To outsiders, this is just a boring technical drawing.

Shikaku came over and quickly scanned the map. His brain was like a sophisticated machine, quickly retrieving the key codes pre-arranged with Tsunade in his memory.

"Here." Shikaku's finger clicked on a Meridians node under the back of the map.

The code there is marked with red Chakra ink, and next to it is a series of numbers representing the frequency of the fluctuations.

"The code 'G-3' means the Hashirama Cells component is present in the target's body." Shikaku's voice was very low. "This inhibitory form is more consistent with the sample we extracted from Vice President Shanmu than Nine-Tenths."

Baishi's gaze fell on another, more inconspicuous location.

On the side of the neck of the map, there is a faint Cursed Seal reaction drawn with lighter ink that is almost integrated with the normal Meridians.

"What about here?"

"Code 'S-9', heterogeneous Chakra implant in dormant state." Shikaku carefully identified it and then added, "According to the energy response analysis left by Lady Tsunade, its structure is homologous to Orochimaru's Cursed Seal system."

The office fell into a deathly silence.

Hashirama Cells.

Orochimaru Cursed Seal.

These two things appeared at the same time in the body of "Lady Yukihime", Daimyo's most beloved one recently.

The answer is self-evident.

Baishi leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes. In his mind, the hoarse voice of Kakuzu sounded again.

"Life Cradle."

"Tribute."

It turns out that the so-called "tributes" are not rare treasures, nor money and wealth.

It's people.

It is a perfect political tool that was cultivated using Orochimaru taboo technology, has a perfect appearance, is implanted with Hashirama Cells to obtain strong vitality and resilience, and is also engraved with Cursed Seal for remote control.

Capital's center has been biologically penetrated from the inside in this silent way.

This is more terrifying than sending a hundred ANBU to lurk inside.

"What a Orochimaru." Baishi opened his eyes. There was no anger in his eyes, only a cold calmness. "He regarded people as Scroll who can be modified and encoded at will."

"This Lady Yukihime is probably not the first, nor will he be the last." Shikaku looked extremely serious, "This is a complete industrial chain. Orochi Z-Maru is responsible for the 'production', and Capital's internal forces are responsible for the 'receipt' and 'use'. The 'Kazama Logistics Park' we inspected before is just a link in this chain responsible for transportation."

Baishi stood up and walked to the huge Land of Fire Map.

His eyes slowly moved from the position of Konoha to the city marked "Capital" in the center of the map.

"Since it is a 'product', it needs maintenance." Baishi's voice was very soft. "Just like a puppet needs oil, a weapon needs maintenance. This Lady Yukihime, in order to maintain the stability of the body and suppress the rejection reactions of Hashirama Cells and Cursed Seal, must use special drugs regularly."

"You mean, those 'Special Nutrient Solution' we seized from Orochimaru base?" Shikaku immediately followed his train of thought.

"Yes." Baishi placed his finger heavily on the area of Capital, "We have taken over the base of Orochimaru and the production line has been interrupted. But the demand for Capital is still there. They will definitely find a way to purchase from other channels or use inventory."

Shikaku Got it.

"As long as you check Capital's recent purchase accounts, especially those purchases under the names of 'Special Nutrient Solution', 'Biological Agents', 'Advanced Life-Extending Potion', etc., you will definitely be able to follow the clues and find the 'receiving' network hidden within Capital."

"This is our only breakthrough."

Baishi returned to his desk and picked up another Encrypted Scroll. This was the work briefing Hyuga Hiashi had just sent back.

He opened Scroll, and there was only one line of text on it.

"The investigation team plans to formally apply to Capital Financial Audit Office tomorrow for access to Daimyo Residence's Special Nutrient Solution and related material purchase accounts for the past three months."

The plan is progressing as expected.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

A ANBU member flashed in and once again presented a secret letter urgently sealed with fire paint.

"Lord Hokage, Capital urgent information from the investigation team."

Baishi took the secret letter and tore it open.

The handwriting on the secret letter is the iconic, meticulous and neat font of Hyuga Hiashi.

However, the content instantly cast a shadow over the situation that had just become clear.

"The application for access has been submitted. Financial Audit Office's new deputy director refused in person on the grounds that 'the accounts are confidential and require Daimyo's personal warrant before they can be reviewed'. Our team was rejected."
