Hokage’s Strongest Insect Master

After Lujiu and Haiyi left, Zhizhen and the others looked at Third Generation.

Kakashi moisturized his throat and reported the investigation to Third Generation.

"... My lord, that's the way it is, I'm really sorry, we didn't find any valid clues." Kakashi bowed his head.

Third Generation took a sharp breath of smoke, exhaled a suffocating breath, leaned on the chair, looked up to the ceiling, and said nothing.

After a while, Third Generation said: "Don't blame yourself, you don't blame you for this matter, but the opponent is too good at timing."

Third Generation’s tone was a little bad, but he was not targeting Kakashi and the others, but the death of the wind really cast a shadow on Third Generation’s heart.

The six Zhizheng did not dare to talk freely at this time. In the end, Asuma said, "Old man, what should I do now?"

Third Generation recovered and didn't mind Asuma's name, and shook his head: "I have handed this matter over to Hyichi. He will take care of it. Don't investigate without authorization."

Everyone was taken aback as soon as this remark came out. They didn't expect Third Generation to ask them not to investigate for the time being.

But giving it to Yamanaka Keiichi was also expected.

Kakashi and Shizhen looked at the expressions of Third Generation, keenly aware that this matter may not be as simple as it seems on the surface.

Yugan was shocked when he heard the words, and looked at Third Generation in surprise. Uemon suddenly became excited and blurted out: "My lord, we..."

Before she could finish her words, Shima immediately stopped. Uemon glanced at Shizhen dissatisfied, and Zaemon said, "Uemon, pay attention to the situation."

Third Generation was also not angry at Uemon's excited reaction, he could understand Uemon and Yugae's mood at the moment.

Zhizhen moistened his throat and asked, "My lord, I know you left this to Mr. Haiyi and didn't let us do it. There must be your reasons. Can you tell us?"

Third Generation sighed softly when he heard the words, and asked, "How do you think about this?"

After hearing this, Kakashi took a step forward and said, "My lord, although we have not found any valid clues, it is certain that Haifeng must have discovered something before he was killed."

"Then what do you think Hayate discovered?" Third Generation asked.

Everyone was silent, that's what they didn't know.

Third Generation took a breath and continued: "The killing of Haifeng is nothing but three goals, one, Orochimaru, two, people from outside the village, and three, one's own."

Everyone nodded, everyone understood this.

Asuma said, "It's difficult to find out because of this. The range of suspects is too wide to find out."

Third Generation shook his head and said, "Do you think it's easy to check if you determine the direction?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment and looked at Third Generation.

The Third Generation did not delay, and directly said: "Yesterday morning, the large forces of Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure have left one after another. Sunagakure only left Gaara, the son of Fourth Kazekage, and Baki was the night before the end of the rematch. I have left Konoha and rushed back to Sand Shinobi."

"Iwagakure only has Huang Tu, Tsujidang, Hei Tu and Genin who advanced to the finals. The same is true for Kirigakure. Genin and his teammates who have advanced to the finals will stay with them.”

"The people who stayed have no grudges or grudges against Jifeng, and even some of them are the first time they have met. It is impossible to kill Jifeng's pain at all."

"The Fu and others of Takinin Village are protected by Anbu, and there is no possibility of doing anything."

Zhizhen was taken aback when he heard this, and he blurted out, "My lord, Baki rushed back to Sand Shinobi the night before yesterday?"

Third Generation nodded and said, "No doubt, before he left, I sent Anbu to escort him some distance."

"This..." Zhizhen was surprised. He really didn't expect that Baki would have left Konoha the night before. In this way, wouldn't it mean that Haifeng was definitely not killed by Baki?

There are other people, if you don't cut it, Huang Tu has no reason to attack Haifeng.

"Why did he go in such a hurry?" Asuma asked.

"This is a private matter in someone else's village, so don't think about it." Third Generation shook his head, he really didn't think too much.

Baki walked in such a hurry, although it was noticeable, Third Generation only when something happened inside Sand Shinobi and Baki needed to go back.

And Zhizhen probably guessed that Baki walked in such a hurry, probably because he wanted to go back and discuss the attack on Konoha face-to-face with Fourth Kazekage.

Asuma shook his head and said, "No, I didn't mean that, I was just thinking, if this is the case, the people who did it with Hayate are probably Orochimaru and his own."

"Most of it is, it is clearly!" Third Generation patted the table heavily, shocking everyone's heart.

As soon as this was said, the temperature in Third Generation's office suddenly dropped by three minutes.

"Anyone but his own will do anything to Hayate!" Third Generation looked angry.

Everyone was silent. It turned out that Third Generation had already wanted to understand.

"But, my lord, if this was done by someone with a heart, what should I do if I deliberately set up a trap to lure Mr. Uiichi to take it?" Kakashi asked rhetorically.

Third Generation's face sank upon hearing this, and said, "This matter will be dealt with in a while, and you can do your own thing."

When everyone heard the words, Xi Yan trembled a little, not knowing whether it was anger or heartache.

After all, Third Generation looked at Xi Yan and said, "Xi Yan, I know your determination to catch the murderer personally. Don't worry, I will find out about this matter."

Third Generation said so, what else can others say, Xi Yan only nodded, and said: "Yes, my lord, I know."

Third Generation nodded and said, "Well, you guys continue to perform your tasks, Kakashi and Shizhen stay."

Hearing this, Kakashi and Zhizheng glanced at each other, and suddenly knew that Third Generation was leaving them to talk business.

Zaemon and Uemon looked at Shima, Shima smiled and said, "Go back and wait for me. I'll be back in a while."

The two nodded, and Xi Yan bowed to Third Generation to salute, then turned and left.

Needless to say, even though Xiyan didn't say anything about Third Generation's handling, she must be a little bit dissatisfied in her heart.

Asuma also said, "That old man, I will go home first."

"Well, be honest, don't mess around, Asuma." Third Generation warned.

"I'm not a kid anymore." Asuma murmured, greeted Kakashi and Shima, and turned to leave.

After the four left, only Kakashi and Shima were left in the room.

The two of them were not wordy, and they said directly: "My lord, you must have something important to tell us when you leave, please tell me."

Third Generation exhaled a sigh of relief, calmed his mind, and asked, "If Haifeng was killed by his own people, who do you two suspect?"

"Orochimaru." Kakashi blurted out.

"Now, it is the crucial moment for Konoha. No matter who killed Hayate, Orochimaru must be behind him. I want to ask the person who did it. Who do you think it is?"

This question is a bit inexplicable, Zhizhen said directly: "My lord, why do you need to ask this question? If you ask like this, you must be suspicious in your heart."

Third Generation smiled upon hearing the words, and then sighed in sorrow: "Yes, I do."

"Please speak." Kakashi and Shima were energetic at once.

Third Generation opened the report on the table. It was the autopsy report of Haifeng, which Konoha Hospital sent to Third Generation as soon as possible.

"I can kill Haifeng with a single blow with Wind Style, he is the first person that pops up in my mind." Third Generation said.

"Who?" Kakashi and Shima asked at the same time.

"Kakashi, you asked Shizhen for help because the Konoha Medical Department was there, and thought the other party was targeting the Medical Department, right?" Third Generation asked.

"Yes." Kakashi admitted directly.

"But did you forget that the roots' base camp is also there." Third Generation glanced at Kakashi and spoke quietly.

Hearing this, Shizhen and Kakashi were taken aback at the same time, and then they came over in shock, their expressions a little shocked.

"My lord, what you suspect is, Danzo!?"
