The cold metal door closed behind him, cutting off the last bit of damp and cold air in the corridor. Senju Chen stood inside the door, quietly listening to the footsteps of the Amegakure attendant hurriedly away, until he completely disappeared deep into the passage.
"Back." Orochimaru's voice was hoarse.
Senju Chen walked to the table and did not answer Orochimaru's words, "I asked the attendant to take me to see a few detained suspects."
"Oh? Any clues?" Orochimaru finally withdrew his gaze and landed on Senju Chen's face with interest.
"Six of them are just poor people who were blinded by fear and grievance." Senju Chen's voice was so calm that there was no wave. "But in the sixth room, Jonin named Tenaka Kenichi, and the maid serving him, there is something wrong."
"But I don't know if we should tell Hanzo of the Salamander this clue, because for now, the situation is actually beneficial to us, so, teacher, what do you think we should do?"
Orochimaru did not ask the maid what the problem was, nor did he explore how Senju Chen found out. He just stretched out his pale fingers and tapped the table lightly, making a soft "dah, da" sound, as if he was beating the beat of some unknown movement.
"How sure are you?" he asked.
This question is more direct than any in-depth inquiry. Wrong judgment will completely mess up the current relatively good situation.
Senju Chen met those golden vertical pupils without hesitation.
"More than 80%." He said word by word, "Even if she was not the one who personally poisoned the poison, she was definitely an insider with knowledge of it."
"Eighty percent..." Orochimaru repeated in a low voice.
"That's enough."
He stood up, his tall figure casting a distorted shadow under the light, covering Senju Chen's small body. "Let's go. Now that we have found the clue, it is time to return the property to its original owner. I believe Mr. Hanzō is impatient to wait."
When Senju Chen stepped into the mausoleum-like hall again, he could clearly feel that the smell of blood and depression in the air was several times stronger than before.
Hanzo of the Salamander was still sitting in the main seat, like a silent stone statue. But this time, he did not look at his son's body. Instead, he lowered his head and wiped a huge sickle with a strange shape. The sound of cold metal friction scratched the nerves of everyone present.
"What's the matter with you?" His voice came from under the breathing mask, dull and hoarse, full of impatience and murderous intent. He had already given Konoha's face, and if the master and disciple still wanted to push further, he would not mind letting two more corpses from Konoha appear on Land of Rain's land.
Orochimaru bowed slightly, and his hoarse voice echoed in the hall, "Your Excellency Hanzō, we may have found some clues to the murder of your son."
Ugh--!
The sound of the scythe being wiped suddenly stopped.
Hanzo of the Salamander slowly raised his head, his eyes hidden in the shadows, like a ferocious beast awakening in the abyss, locked on Orochimaru. The temperature in the hall seemed to have dropped a few points in an instant.
However, Orochimaru did not continue talking. He just turned sideways, completely exposing Senju Chen behind him to Hanzō's field of vision.
Is this...?
Hanzō remained silent, his sharp gaze shifted from Orochimaru's body to that little figure.
Senju Chen faced the gaze that was enough to make Jonin tremble with fear, and took a step forward. A clear child's voice sounded in the hall, "Lord Hanzō, I hope you will call Mr. Tenaka Kenichi who is imprisoned and the maid who is currently serving him."
Tenaka Kenichi?
Hearing this name, the face of a close confidant beside Hanzō changed slightly. Tenaka Kenichi is not only Jonin of Amegakure, but also one of the confidants promoted by Hanzō. He is responsible for managing some of the village's internal affairs. It can be said that he is Hanzō's right-hand man.
Hanzō actually does not believe that Tenaka Kenichi will betray him. The imprisonment of the other party this time is just for political needs, so that others can see his anger about this matter and his determination to catch the murderer.
Hanzō was silent for a moment, and finally waved.
Soon, the gentle Jonin Tenaka Kenichi wearing glasses was brought up. Behind him was the maid who lowered her head and followed suit.
Tenaka Kenichi obviously didn't know what happened, but when he saw Senju Chen and the cold eyes of the leader on the main seat, he immediately understood everything. The inexplicable accusation made by this kid during the day turned out to be the leader's instruction!
"Chief!" He knelt down with a thud, his voice full of grief, anger and grievance, "I, Tenaka Kenichi, grew up in Amegakure, and this life was given to me by you! You have been so kind to me, how could I betray you! This matter of killing the young master has absolutely nothing to do with me, please tell me clearly, leader!"
His voice was impassioned and full of indignation at being wronged, making the surrounding Amegakure ninjas look intolerable.
Yes, Tenaka Kenichi's loyalty to the leader is seen by everyone.
Hanzo of the Salamander didn't speak, just looked at Senju Chen, waiting for his next words.
Senju Chen ignored Tenaka Kenichi who was kneeling on the ground. He didn't even look at her. Instead, he opened his short legs and walked straight to the maid.
"Yeah, everything you said is right, but I also think you have a problem."
"What I'm saying is that she has a problem." Senju Chen turned to point at the maid who kept her head lowered.
Tenaka Kenichi was also stunned after hearing what Senju Chen said, but he still subconsciously protected the people around him.
"Misaki She... she is just an ordinary maid. I asked her to serve her. How could there be anything wrong with her! You little brat, you clearly want to throw dirty water on me!"
If there is a problem with the maid, then he, the master, is naturally involved. Tenaka Kenichi At this moment, I just feel that this Konoha kid is determined to kill him.
The maid's body trembled violently, her head lowered, as if frightened by the sudden accusation.
"Hime Misaki?" Senju Chen tilted his head, with an innocent yet cruel smile on his face.
"Her name is not Hime Misaki at all."
"Am I right, Tanaka Rina." Senju Chen looked at the woman who was still pretending to be pitiful at this time.
The moment the words fell!
The maid who had been lowering her head and trembling suddenly raised her head and looked at Senju Chen with a shocked expression. She didn't know how she was exposed, but the other party actually knew her real name, so now she could only...!
Tanaka Rina did not hesitate at all, nor did she say a word of excuse. She had considered everything, but she had not considered that she would be exposed to a six-year-old child.
The moment her real name was called out, she knew she had no choice but to escape. Her weak disguise was instantly torn to pieces! A cold and fierce murderous aura shot into the sky!
Poof!
A cold light flashed, and Tenaka Kenichi who was closest to her didn't even have time to react before a Kunai was stabbed deeply into her abdomen.
I have become a big boss, but I still have to defend you to the leader. When you are good, you stab me when you change hands. If you want to stab me, you will stab that kid. Why are you stabbing me? What the hell, are you two acting like a double act? Just to kill me?
The indignant expression on Tenaka Kenichi's face instantly solidified after being stabbed, and was replaced by complete shock and disbelief.
Senju Chen was also confused by the other party's sudden move. No, your reaction was too fast. I haven't said what I said next? Fortunately, I prepared several tricks to deceive the other party, but this is the result?
I reported you for an "inspection and killing", and then you "exposed yourself"? How can you be a spy if you have such a poor psychological quality?
Also, are all the young ladies now so brave? You are killing someone in front of "Demigod". Who gave you the courage? In this stall, Fish Leong has to defend himself...
Tanaka Rina now has no time to care about the confused Senju Chen and Tenaka Kenichi who feels that life has been mispaid.
With one successful blow, without even looking at the fallen Tenaka Kenichi, Chakra Burst shot towards the entrance of the hall like a ghost! He hurt the hostages first, created chaos, then turned around and fled! The whole movement was smooth and fast, showing the professionalism of a "top" spy!
She is very fast.
But there is someone faster than her.
Just when she was about to rush out of the door, a huge black shadow appeared in front of her with a raging rage that would consume everything.
It's Hanzo of the Salamander.
He didn't know when he had left the main position, and the huge scythe in his hand drew an arc of death in the air, causing a scream that tore the air.
"Haha..."
Orochimaru let out a low laugh of unknown meaning. He took Senju Chen's hand, turned and walked towards the side door, as if the bloody scene about to be staged behind him was just an insignificant drama.
Next, this "Demigod" who lost his beloved son will probably be very busy.
And Land of Rain is destined not to be peaceful tonight.
