Clean portal?
Senju Chen's cold words made the hearts of all the instructors present tremble.
Whose portal is being cleaned?
Tsukiki? This good old guy that everyone recognizes?
Or Zabuza Momochi? That genius student whom you personally taught?
For a moment, everyone was confused.
Tsukiki's usual image of a good old man is so deeply rooted in people's hearts that everyone subconsciously believes what he says.
But Senju Chen, what reason does he have to kill the proud disciple he brought out? What does he want?
This doesn't make sense logically!
"Minister Kirisame Ryo!" An instructor with the most seniority stood up. His name was Nakamura. He was fairly fair. "There must be something fishy about this matter! Both sides hold different opinions. Who among us It's impossible to judge the authenticity. In my opinion, it's better for you to stop first, report it to Master Mizukage immediately, and wait for Anbu to intervene in the investigation, and the truth will naturally come to light by then!"
This proposal was immediately supported by most of the instructors.
"Yes! Senior Nakamura is right! Wait for Anbu to check!"
"Nakamura instructor is right."
When Tsukiki, who was being protected behind him, heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought something was wrong.
Wait Anbu? Once those guys come, how can I escape?
But he still had an expression of grief, anger and grievance on his face, and said righteously, "Of course I am willing! I am upright and not afraid of slanting shadows! I believe in the village, and I believe Mr. Mizukage will definitely bring the murderer to justice!"
As he spoke, he quietly moved back, his body tense, ready to break out and escape through the gaps in the encirclement.
He now wants to take advantage of the chaos and escape as soon as possible. As long as he is allowed to escape Kirigakure, so many years of lurking have given him the confidence to evade Kirigakure's Special Assassination and Tactical Squad search.
"Kirisame Ryo Minister, look, Tsukiki instructors have agreed!"
"Kirisame Ryo Minister, do you dare to accept the investigation?"
Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Senju Chen.
However, Senju Chen didn't seem to hear their words. His calm eyes were just staring at Tsukiki's tiny movements.
He smiled.
There was no warmth in that smile, only a deep coldness.
"Investigation?"
Senju Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and spit out a few words.
"Too slow."
"You..." Several instructors were shocked after hearing Senju Chen's words, and they just thought Hand Seals.
"Get away!"
The figure of Senju Chen left a faint afterimage on the spot. The whole person turned into a black line that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, bypassing everyone's obstruction in an instant!
His goal, from beginning to end, is only one!
"Not good!"
Tsukiki Seeing Senju Chen coming like a ghost, he was so frightened that he no longer bothered to pretend, he put all his energy into his legs and ran away frantically towards the passage!
He's fast!
Senju Chen is faster than him!
"Traitors deserve to die."
A cold voice, like the verdict of Death God, sounded behind his ears.
Tsukiki felt a chill in his heart. He lowered his head with difficulty and saw a palm wrapped with blue water attribute Chakra emerging from his chest.
There was not even a trace of blood on that palm.
"Pfft..."
Tsukiki spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments, his eyes filled with endless horror and unwillingness.
He couldn't figure out why... why did this man dare to kill himself so decisively in front of everyone? Isn't he afraid of Mizukage's punishment?
With endless questions, the look in Tsukiki's eyes quickly dimmed, and his body fell softly.
[Ding! Successfully killed target 'Inoshita Yamano'!]
[Obtain a small amount of Chakra and combat experience.]
Senju Chen slowly retracted his hand, not even looking at the body on the ground.
In the alleyway, there was deathly silence.
All the instructors were petrified. They watched helplessly as their new minister brutally killed a "colleague" in front of them with the force of thunder!
This is no longer public revenge!
This is trampling on the rules of Kirigakure! It is provoking the authority of Lord Mizukage!
"You... how dare you... you really killed him!" Nakamura pointed at Senju Chen, shaking with anger.
"Crazy! He is a crazy person!"
"Everyone, come together! Capture this madman!"
"Get him!"
The instructors who were completely irritated no longer had any hesitation. A dozen of them burst out Chakra at the same time. Various Ninjutsu lights lit up in the alley, and they rushed towards Senju Chen with murderous intent.
In their opinion, Senju Chen has been convicted of murder and silence. If they don't kill him on the spot, they will not be able to explain it to the village!
Senju Chen faced this siege with no expression on his face, but slowly raised his hand.
At this critical moment!
"Instructor... Instructor...!"
"Kill someone, instructor!"
At the entrance of the alley, several shouts from students were heard.
It was those students who were so frightened that they ran over, their faces pale, as if they had just walked out of hell.
"What are you doing here! Get out of here!" Nakamura instructor roared.
However, the leading student fell to his knees with a plop, pointed at the still warm body of Tsukiki on the ground, and screamed with all his strength:
"Instructor Tsukiki just killed Zabuza Momochi!"
"He killed Zabuza Momochi! We... we all saw it!"
"With one punch... he punched Zabuza Momochi through the heart!"
Boom--!
These few words, like divine thunder descending from the sky, exploded in the minds of every instructor who was about to take action!
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
Everyone's movements were frozen in place.
The indignation of "revenge for their colleagues" on their faces solidified for an instant, then cracked, and finally turned into confusion and shock.
What?
Really Tsukiki... Kill Zabuza Momochi?
Are those students witnesses?
"Is everything you said true?" an instructor turned to ask these students in disbelief.
"Really, we saw it with our own eyes."
"Yes, it was instructor Tsukiki who killed Zabuza Momochi." These students all nodded confidently and said.
Then... then what were we doing just now?
We stopped Minister Kirisame Ryo... to protect a murderer of a genius student?
We accused him of taking revenge... but it turned out that he was just taking revenge for his own students?
Do we still have to attack in groups and capture this "traitor"?
An indescribable sense of absurdity and shame, like a cold tide, instantly overwhelmed all the instructors.
They stared blankly at the two corpses on the ground, then at the students who were trembling with fear, and finally, their eyes mechanically turned to the man who had been terrifyingly calm from beginning to end.
Every face was burning with pain.
How fierce the scream was just now, how embarrassing it is now.
The air was so quiet that you could hear each other's heartbeats.
Senju Chen slowly put down his hand and looked around at the group of "colleagues" in front of him who looked as if they had eaten shit. His cold eyes swept over them one by one.
He did not ridicule or explain, but asked softly in a calm tone that stated the facts:
"Now, does anyone still think I killed him by mistake?"
