Araki happened to hear everything that was said in the meeting.
There's no evidence, it's all guesswork, but this guess is surprisingly accurate!
Are women's intuitions really that terrifying?
Araki's lips twitched violently. He had heard before that women's sixth sense was very accurate, and he had just witnessed it firsthand.
He wasn't worried about anything.
Without evidence, even if suspicion falls on him, it will only remain suspicion.
He is now Tsunade's student.
We cannot easily take action against him without evidence.
Their social status and position speak for themselves.
"Interesting."
After the three left, Araki didn't think much of it, put his backpack on the ground, and began making Explosive Tag.
"I'm quite curious to see what they'll do next!"
Araki did not attack these three people, primarily because they were members of the Uchiha Clan.
Taking action now would backfire.
Especially Uchiha Fugaku, the son of the current head of the Uchiha Clan, is someone we can't afford to offend for the time being.
Araki would only worry and resort to silencing someone if they had some conclusive evidence, but he's not afraid right now.
They wouldn't even show any signs of panic.
That would only make those three people more convinced of their own reasoning.
Similarly.
Araki will not allow Kushina and Mikoto to distance themselves from each other.
There's absolutely no need for any special measures; just act as usual. Especially since he knows Mikoto will get some information from Kushina, it will actually make things easier.
Some words...
It could be said through Kushina's mouth.
This way, he could take advantage of the situation and pass on some information he wanted the so-called Junior Detective League to Mikoto through Kushina.
Chapter 15 What can I do for you? (First Update)
After the Junior Detective League left, Araki didn't chase after them, and didn't seem to have any particular thoughts about it, as if he didn't care about such things at all.
He continued doing what he wanted to do.
Make Explosive Tag!
Explosive Tag are extremely important to Araki; they cost a lot of money. With money comes funding, which allows for the production of more poisons to prevent potential dangers.
In the past six months, he has made some progress, and his physical fitness has improved significantly. He should be the undisputed number one in the Ninja Academy.
but...
Araki did not learn any Taijutsu techniques!
His sole purpose in training was to make his body stronger and accumulate more Chakra, not to engage in close-quarters combat using physical strength.
After leaving the woods, the Junior Detective League headed straight for Konoha Hospital without pausing for a moment.
They finally found a clue.
We need to verify this with Might Duy.
Everyone felt their own unique excitement.
in.
Uchiha Fugaku was the most shocked.
During this time, he discovered almost nothing and began to doubt himself.
This made him feel somewhat uneasy about persisting.
This meeting also carries this implication: if there's still no clue, perhaps he'll have to start declaring defeat.
"Honestly, Mikoto, your information came at just the right time. Without it, the Sora Hyuga case might really be over," Uchiha Fugaku remarked.
"Actually, I'm not sure either." Uchiha Mikoto shook her head.
"What we need now is not certainty. We can't be certain about anything. As long as there's even the slightest clue, we should investigate it thoroughly and not overlook anything!" Uchiha Fugaku said with unwavering determination, "This is the first case our Junior Detective League has taken on since its formation. If we fail like this, it will be a huge blow to us."
"I understand." Uchiha Mikoto stared blankly at Uchiha Fugaku, then slowly nodded, silently making a decision in her heart: no matter what, she would help Uchiha Fugaku fulfill this dream.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku can be considered the most famous member of the younger generation of the Uchiha Clan.
Handsome.
Exceptionally talented.
He comes from a distinguished family.
Not only did he graduate first in his grade, but he also signed up for this year's Chunin Ninja Exams, and he is very likely to become Chunin in one fell swoop.
The village held Uchiha Fugaku in high regard.
Within the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Fugaku had long been considered the next clan leader.
However, according to the rules of the Uchiha Clan, Genin are not allowed to enter the Konoha Military Police Force of Konoha; only Chunin are permitted.
"Once I pass the Chunin Ninja Exams and become Chunin, I'll join the Konoha Military Police Force. At that time, our Junior Detective League will disband," Uchiha Fugaku said with a deep breath.
"Does it really have to be disbanded?" Uchiha Mikoto pursed her lips, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"Yeah, does it really have to be disbanded? Even if you join the Konoha Military Police Force, we can still keep the Junior Detective League!" Uchiha Ueki chimed in, though he didn't seem particularly upset.
"They must be disbanded!"
Uchiha Fugaku said firmly, and from his tone, it was clear that he was leaving absolutely no room for negotiation.
"Once I join the Konoha Military Police Force, I'll be busy with Konoha Military Police Force affairs. I won't have the time or energy to participate in the Junior Detective League's activities anymore. Leaving this mess for the two of you would only be a burden to you."
"By then, you won't need to run the Junior Detective League anymore; our ultimate dream is to join the Konoha Military Police Force."
" Ueki, you need to spend more time on your training and participate in next year 'Chunin Ninja Exams. We'll meet in the Konoha Military Police Force then."
As for Mikoto...
"Perhaps he never wanted to join the Konoha Military Police Force!"
Uchiha Fugaku looked at the two of them and said with a smile, as the leader of the Junior Detective League trio, he knew all too well what these two were thinking.
Uchiha Ueki's status may not be as high as his, but within the Uchiha Clan, he is definitely considered quite good. His father is Uchiha Nanagen'u, a famous detective in the Konoha Military Police Force. It would be no problem for Ueki to enter the Konoha Military Police Force, as long as he reaches the Chunin level.
On the contrary, Uchiha Mikoto wasn't there to join the Konoha Military Police Force, nor did she intend to take any tests beforehand; she was just there to make up the numbers.
He didn't know what he would do in the future. A large part of the reason for disbanding the Junior Detective League was for Uchiha Mikoto. After all, he wasn't very at ease keeping Mikoto and Ueki in the Detective League.
"I understand. I will definitely train hard. However, before that, I feel that Araki has a big problem. I have been investigating him these days and found that Araki does not seem to be as weak as he appears. He may be hiding his strength." Uchiha Ueki suddenly said, as if he had finally resolved his inner conflict.
"What do you mean?" Uchiha Fugaku immediately realized that there might be something she had overlooked.
"It means exactly what it says. Like Mikoto, I can't produce any evidence, so everything is just speculation. I didn't say my thoughts clearly just now. When I was investigating these shops, I found that Sora Hyuga really liked to eat at an eel rice restaurant, and he ate there almost every day. But after he followed Araki into the grove that day, he never ate there again. So I think that's when Sora Hyuga started to be murdered!" Uchiha Ueki said coldly.
"Then..." Uchiha Fugaku's eyes showed a thoughtful look as he asked doubtfully, "Is it possible that Sora Hyuga was only kidnapped or abducted at that time, and not dead, but just had his personal freedom restricted?"
"Yes," Uchiha Jōjutsu and said, "But I personally think he died that day."
" Mikoto, what do you think?" Uchiha Fugaku immediately looked at Uchiha Mikoto.
"I don't know." Uchiha Mikoto was a little flustered by what she was being said, and she had just been daydreaming about something else. She then said, "I think we should go to Konoha Hospital and ask Might Duy. If Araki really wasn't a match for Sora Hyuga back then, all our speculations will be meaningless and completely fall apart on their own."
"You make a good point." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, saying nothing more, and agreed with the assessment.
Instantly.
His pace quickened.
"Let's go quickly."
Uchiha Fugaku immediately spoke, his pace quickening as he considered this case to be the Junior Detective League's final case.
"Um."
Uchiha Mikoto followed behind, her eyes flickering as she stared at Uchiha Fugaku's back. A thoughtful look lingered in her eyes, and she fell silent.
actually...
Her initial reason for joining the Junior Detective League was to get closer to Uchiha Fugaku.
The students at the Ninja Academy were remarkably precocious in such matters. The young Fugaku handsome and dashing, always talking about revitalizing the Uchiha Clan, and dreaming of joining the Konoha Military Police Force to uphold justice.
Under such a halo.
Uchiha Fugaku possessed an extremely strong allure in the eyes of the girls of his generation, captivating many of them, including Mikoto.
She joined the Junior Detective League for Fugaku.
None of the members of the Junior Detective League expected that the first case they wanted to handle after forming the group would be a cold case that remains unsolved to this day.
"I will definitely solve this case!"
Uchiha Mikoto clenched her fists tightly. She didn't want to have any regrets about this. She had to find the murderer who killed Sora Hyuga, no matter what the cost.
Thinking about this...
Araki's image flashed into her mind.
She always left room for maneuver with her words, remaining cautious and reserved, but deep down she knew that she was convinced Araki was a problematic person.
Inside a ward at Konoha Hospital.
The Junior Detective League arrived, sat down, and claimed to be visiting Might Duy, stating that they were Araki's friends.
This explanation immediately won over Might Duy.
"You two chat, I'll head out now."
