Do You Want My Mangekyō Sharingan?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been quietly observing the situation, couldn't hold back any longer and wearily said to Yun Yan:

"Yun Yan, wasn't this corpse dug up by my Anbu Ninja and kept at the Anbu? How did you bring it here?"

Yun Yan was quite cheerful at this time:

"What does it matter, Sarutobi? Didn't our group of guests from Kumogakure want a corpse? Didn't they say they wanted to see the person alive or dead? Now they have seen it."

There's no point in keeping this corpse with the Anbu; I figured I'd have to return it to them sooner or later, so I had Kakashi drag the body over beforehand.

"Hmm... it certainly smelled bad, and it certainly looked bad, but what's so good about a corpse?"

After saying this to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Yun Yan, with a sly smile, infuriated Dodai and the Kumogakure delegation, confirmed the following:

"How is it? Although the face is a bit hard to recognize, you should still be able to identify him if you look closely. This is your companion Morui, right? It's definitely him, isn't it?"

Dodai frowned deeply. Although his feelings were complicated, he nodded helplessly.

"That's right, it's him. But Yun Yan, what exactly are you trying to say? What is your purpose in dragging the corpses of our Kumogakure ninjas here?"

Looking at this Dodai, Yun Yan seemed to take it all for granted:

"You want evidence, right? To prove I'm the murderer. What evidence is more convincing than the victim's body?"

Especially... you need to observe how this Morui died. He was beheaded, and the cut on his neck was very clean. You can tell from this that my beheading skills are very high.

Think back to the Gentle Fist of the Hyūga Clan. Which move can decapitate someone so smoothly? They couldn't do that, so the murderer wasn't Hyuga Hiashi.

On the contrary, I am more skilled in Wind Release Wind Release, which is known for its sharpness. I did indeed cut off his head in one move, which is undoubtedly the best evidence."

At this point, Yun Yan's expression turned smug, as if being proven to be the murderer wasn't a bad thing, but rather a good thing:

"How about that? Isn't the evidence clear enough? Now you can believe that I'm the murderer, right?"

The man on the opposite Dodai couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose. His face was extremely pale, and his mood was very complicated. He didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only nod to indicate that he accepted the reality.

Seeing him nod in confirmation, Yun Yan was pleased and waved to Kakashi:

"Alright, now that it's confirmed, Kakashi, you can drag him away again. We can hand him over to the Kumogakure delegation later. We can't leave him here any longer; the smell is really unpleasant."

Rolling his Byakugan wide, Kakashi reluctantly covered the corpse completely with the canvas again, then dragged the body out the way he came in.

As Kakashi dragged them out and closed the door again, it seemed, or perhaps it was just my imagination, that everyone in the office except Yun Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the Dodai opposite him, and then at the group of young people from the Kumogakure delegation, Yun Yan smiled and finally spoke again:

"Gentlemen, now that the body has been identified and it's confirmed that I was the murderer, can the negotiations continue?"

The delegation from Kumogakure across from them couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances again. Their feelings were rather complicated. You killed him, so why are you so happy? And why are you in such a hurry to negotiate?

But there was no other way now that things had come to this, Dodai could only nod to indicate that the negotiations could continue, while feeling a strange sense of frustration.

Yun Yan was in an even better mood now. He placed his hands on the table as if he were seriously negotiating, and even said very sincerely:

"Alright, let's continue the negotiations."

Now that it has been confirmed that I killed the person and that I am the murderer, I cannot avoid the corresponding responsibility, and I will not shirk or escape this responsibility.

First, we need to figure out why I killed this person; I have to explain that.

There's not much to say, really. It's just that one night, when I was wandering around Konoha, I suddenly saw this Morui carrying Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyūga Clan's Main Family, under his arm. He was running ahead with the little girl, heading towards the outside of Konoha's barrier. This didn't look like anything good.

Hyuga Hiashi, he was probably too fond of his daughter to stand idly by, so the old father chased after her desperately, shouting himself hoarse.

As they got closer to the Konoha barrier, seeing that Morui couldn't escape either, he simply stopped and used Hyuga clan Hinata's life to threaten Hyuga Hiashi, his elderly father.

What did he threaten him with? He threatened Hyuga Hiashi, demanding that Hyuga Hiashi help him leave Konoha's barrier, or he would kill Hinata Hyuga directly. It was an extremely malicious threat.

Just as things were at a stalemate, I couldn't stand it any longer, so I made a move and swiftly severed Morui's neck, saving Hinata Hyuga. This also made Hyuga Hiashi very grateful to me.

I left immediately after finishing this task. I assume Hyuga Hiashi buried the body and such. That's why you might have misunderstood and thought Hyuga Hiashi killed the person. That's not the case at all; I was the one who killed him."

At this point, Yun Yan paused deliberately, much like a teacher explaining a problem and then, fearing the students might not understand, confirming their understanding at the last minute.

That's how it happened. Do you have any further questions?

The people from the Kumogakure delegation opposite them were utterly speechless. They all shook their heads, indicating that they understood and had no further questions. Dodai also had a similar expression.

After confirming, Yun Yan nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"Since that's the case, let's continue the negotiations. It's time for everyone from Kumogakure to state your demands. What do you want from me, the murderer?"

Uh... if I remember correctly, when you mistakenly believed Hyuga Hiashi was the murderer, your demand was that Konoha hand over Hyuga Hiashi so you could take him back to Kumogakure for trial, right?

Applying the same logic, the real murderer is me now, so your demand should be that Konoha hand me over...

This point has already been established. After all, I'm standing right in front of you, and I'm not going to run away. So, I, the murderer, have already come forward, and that's settled.

And then, your delegation from Kumogakure is going to take me, the murderer, away to Kumogakure for trial, is that right?"

Looking at the group of people with a smile, Yun Yan asked the question directly. However, the smile he wore when he asked the question looked terrifying and gave off a particularly dangerous feeling. At the very least, the people from Kumogakure felt immense pressure.

At that moment, everyone in the Kumogakure delegation, including Dodai, swallowed hard, unsure how to respond.

Yun Yan sat in his seat, his expression still showing concern for them, smiling as he offered them advice:

"Why are you all so quiet now? Where did your aggressive attitude go? Weren't you ready to fight at the drop of a hat? Why are you all so quiet now?"

Oh, I see. It seems you're not entirely satisfied with this request. Should I then offer you double compensation?

Isn't it a bit too much trouble to just take me back to Kumogakure for trial? Or should you just take my corpse back to report?

Hmm... It's such a long way, and carrying a large corpse is quite troublesome. Let me think of an easier way...

At this point, Yun Yan slightly cold, and the Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes, which had never been turned off, emitted a terrifying scarlet light:

How about this?

The most valuable thing I own is my pair of eyes. Anyway, I guess your Kumogakure delegation doesn't have anything else that you'd like. How about I just give you these Mangekyō Sharingan so you can take them back to Kumogakure and give them to you as a token of your mission?"

At this moment, a terrifying killing intent finally surged forth, accompanied by an extremely chaotic aura. The young members of the Kumogakure delegation opposite them could not withstand the oppressive aura and almost suffocated!

Dodai was also having difficulty breathing. He looked at Yun Yan, at Yun Yan's pair of scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan, and his breathing became even more difficult.

He hadn't anticipated this situation at all, and he was completely at a loss for how to react or what to say.
