The cause of the incident was the friction between Rasa and two civilian family heirs, Murashi and Fukushimaoka, which gave rise to the subsequent series of events.
It seems to be a struggle between the common people and the powerful.
But so far, the dead civilian family heads in the village are only the first few.
The civilian power was even more damaged... only some guys who defected from the ninja village appeared.
But on the other hand, on the elite side, those who died were all high-level officials in the village or people with real power.
Those who were subsequently promoted by Lord Kazekage... were all new faces with acceptable abilities.
The only old people left are Lord Kazekage, Chiyo's mother-in-law, Ebizo and Rasa, as well as Nakamaru from the analysis department, and Pakura's father Inoue.
Some of the management in the village's internal institutions also had many new faces because of this conflict.
Everything seems to be the result of class conflicts between the two factions.
The civilian forces were overwhelmed by the will of the village's top leaders.
But it was the elites who suffered the real heavy losses.
rather than civilian forces.
Civilians are only the disadvantaged party on the surface.
Judging from the results, we only lost a few leaders.
And the deceased involved in the powerful side were all real high-level people.
Unconsciously, the power structure of the village has changed.
Although this change is somewhat painful.
Kazekage and Chiyo's mother-in-law and others were also aware of this kind of thing, but they never suspected other people. They only thought it was caused by internal chaos.
After all, the power struggle within the village is a topic that no ninja village can avoid, and it happens from time to time.
There are even some disputes within the ninja village that are darker and more intense, like Sunagakure now, which are already considered relatively minor.
But what made Arai see the clue... was out of Lord Kazekage's trust in Xie, which made the whole thing reported to Kazekage one-way. The specific details were unknown to outsiders, and they could only get a rough idea.
What's more, the deaths of these high-level officials are perfectly interspersed in the timeline of the entire conflict. Some were handled by Xion personally, and some had nothing to do with Xion, but the bodies were missing... The clues for those high-level officials who died due to external causes were also relatively vague.
In the end, Scorpion had to be appointed to investigate.
Even if there are results from the investigation, the results will be in a way that the village cannot handle or take action immediately.
These are no problem.
The problem is... it's too perfect.
No matter who is the murderer of each high-level executive, no relevant information or clues can be found at the moment... This means that even if they are different murderers, each murderer's ability to run tactics is too good.
This is a bit strange.
You know, the senior executive who was killed was not low in strength. Even if the murderer was a civilian force in the village, and he knew them well, he wouldn't be able to do it so neatly every time, right?
Kazekage and others who are in high positions look at the overall situation of the whole thing. The information they have to process in their brains is quite complex and diverse... For the top management, what they have to solve is internal conflicts, but they ignore such small things, and may not care more.
And have absolute trust in Scorpio's ability.
But for the experienced Arai, his intuition told him... there was something wrong.
Scorpion is the full authority and the only Anbu elite responsible for handling the whole matter.
Therefore, even if Arai has no direct evidence, it is just a feeling of suspicion. The only way to find the truth is to start with Scorpion.
Arai followed Xie all the way out of the village.
He hid it very carefully for fear of being discovered by Scorpion.
Today's Scorpion is not the junior he was when he led the team.
Although he is still a young boy, he is almost fourteen years old... But before joining Anbu, Xie's resume on the battlefield was very amazing. Together with Yubi, he was called the twin star of Sunagakure, and later became Jonin.
And after he settled in the village, he was also frantically completing tasks. Without looking at the exaggerated task document, just saying that in the past six months or so, the high-level officials who were ordered by Kazekage to get rid of him... This strength is actually that of Elite Jōnin.
To be honest, if he really took action, Arai even felt... that he had little chance of winning.
If his suspicion is correct and he can quietly deal with the original "high-level officials" of the village... then I'm afraid no one knows the true level of Scorpion Puppet Technique.
"Huh?"
After carefully following Xie for a while, Arai suddenly discovered that Xie had stopped in a suburban desert not far from the village.
"Discovered?!"
Arai, who was far away and hiding in the sand, immediately felt nervous.
However, the figure of Scorpion in the distance did not behave strangely, it just stood there quietly.
After a while, a familiar "black spot" came into Arai's field of vision.
"That's..."
"Yubi?"
Arai squinted his eyes.
He knew that Yubi had been traveling around for the past year, seemingly collecting and investigating data related to medicinal materials in Shinobi World places, and working hard to improve the medical environment of the village. Although he would return to the village every once in a while, he could not stay for a few days before leaving again.
I saw the two little ones gathering outside the village, reunited after a long absence.
Arai My heart skipped a beat.
He recalled the context of the whole thing.
"Is... is it related to Yubi?"
Arai An idea flashed across his mind.
He dared to say that no one, including himself, would ever think of Yubi.
Because Yubi is not in the village at all.
After disappearing for a long time, even this "genius" who was extremely dazzling at the beginning had no sense of existence during this turbulent period in the village.
Arai's mood suddenly sank.
He is a person who knows very well how smart Yubi is... Although Scorpio is also very smart, due to his character, he will not do the whole thing so perfectly without revealing any flaws.
Scorpion is more like the kind of guy who doesn't care about the village's reaction, just kills people and then leaves.
"If my guess is true... it's more likely to be his plan."
Arai doesn't want to believe it.
But this idea couldn't stop popping up.
"It's impossible...Yubi has no reason to harm the interests of the village, and neither does Scorpion... What's wrong with me? I'm so suspicious..." Arai's brain was a little frozen.
Suddenly I started to doubt myself.
You know, Yubi has been running around for the future of the village...
Is his intuition really right?
On the other side, Xie and Yubi walked slowly towards the direction of the village.
"I'm being followed..."
Scorpion said.
"Who?"
Yubi asked with a smile.
Even if you are followed, it will be okay.
Anyway, Scorpion just came to pick him up and didn't do anything else.
I returned to the village this time because the research on the experimental medicine has produced results.
After a year and a half, his finished drug is finally ready for mass production.
It's not in vain that he has been working so hard outside for so long.
The next step is to spread the goods... open the market.
"It can only be him...Arai."
Xie said calmly.
"Oh?"
Yubi raised his eyebrows.
"It seems... he may have discovered something." Yubi said softly with a hint of seriousness.
The next second, their expressions changed slightly.
"People are gone..."
"Find an opportunity to kill him..."
scorpion.
"Let's take a look... He should just be suspicious and don't have any evidence. Otherwise, given Sandai's character, something might have happened to you long ago."
Yubi changed his mind.
It seems... if there is a chance, he will ask Arai out to meet alone.
Sure enough, no matter how well planned and run, it cannot be perfect.
"I hope... we won't get into a fight with each other, otherwise..."
Yubi sighed secretly.
Eyes flashed.
