"Weird smell."

"strangeness?"

"...It's hard to say, um, how to describe it..." Parker squatted on Kakashi's shoulder, stretched out his paw and rubbed his head, with a look of embarrassment and entanglement, "I never smell How do you feel after experiencing such a strange smell? The human smell is very weak!"

This strange description also stunned Kakashi.

What makes people smell very weak?

This kind of weird statement is very interesting!

"Could it be that that young man is not a human being?"

The squad leader of the corpse disposal class standing next to him looked shocked.

"No, it's hard to say, the human smell is very weak, but it doesn't mean that there is no human smell at all, it's just very weak, just like that..." Parker is uncomfortable. Why is today's work so difficult? what! In order to choose Sabaody's autonomy, it was enough to endure the strong corpse odor. The smell that was required to be identified was also strange so that it did not know how to describe it. It had not encountered such a strange smell before.

"In addition to the human smell, there is also a metal and wood smell. These smells are mixed together... always feel a little familiar?"

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, metal? wood?

I was faintly moved in my mind, but there was too little information to determine who this Sasori was. We still have to wait for the investigation results of Uchiha Itachi and Kimimaro, and so far this Sasori is suspected of committing the crime, and there is no evidence to prove it. It's really the person who did it.

"Squad leader Takano, where do you store the corpses? Please take me to see."

Kakashi asked.

"This way!"

Under the guidance of Team Leader Takano, they came to the library of the temple. Such a large temple could not build a pavilion to store the scriptures, and there was no place for such books to be stored. In fact, this small library is also Quite a lot of space is vacant.

"This is the library of the temple, and all the scrolls where the dead bodies are sealed are here."

On the left side of the bookshelf is a book of Scriptures, and on the right side is a stack of scrolls, with hundreds of scrolls. Don’t think that the storage capacity of scrolls is unlimited. Most scrolls can actually seal the stored things. The number is quite limited, like a corpse, generally speaking, a seal scroll is about ten.

The number of Konoha Shinobi sacrificed in this war is counted in thousands, and the number of scrolls required is naturally hundreds.

As for the scrolls with huge reserves, one is that the number is scarce. The production of scrolls and detonating charms have similar conditions. The production of detonating charms requires the producer to have the Master Fire Style technique, and scrolls require the creator. Master seal technique.

Compared with Fire Style technique,

Obviously, the practice of sealing technique is more difficult.

This leads to the high labor cost of the scrolls. Secondly, the scrolls are not cheap, especially those scrolls with huge reserves are expensive to fly. It is not that the family is rich. For example, in the future, a certain Konoha is the largest. The daughter of the ninja shop, that is the legendary female ninja who once summoned the sea and giant ships and was called the "legendary portable warehouse".

Without such a deep family background, most people can't use that kind of scrolls at all, and to be honest, there are no scrolls with exaggerated storage on the market. If all these large-capacity scrolls are not made by themselves, then they are custom-made."So many scrolls...How many scrolls are missing?"

Kakashi asked while looking at the scrolls piled up on the bookshelf.

"There are twelve missing scrolls, and a total of 117 corpses are stored in them. Among them, there are 43 Jōnin's corpses, especially Jōnin's 74."

"Twelve scrolls."

Kakashi looked at these reels of uniform size, and thought for a few seconds. He had a vague guess that the person who stole the reels should be acting alone, because the reels cannot be overlapped and sealed into the reels. It can be carried on the body, and a person can hold more than ten scrolls at most, and there is no place to put more on the body.

It is precisely because there is no way to take it all away, so I chose the most valuable part.

"Kakashi."

At this time, Parker, who was squatting on Kakashi's shoulder, raised his paw and patted, "The same smell here!"

"······The same smell as a document signature?"

"Yes."

Kakashi turned around and looked at Takano, "Squad leader Takano, has the guy named Sasori been here?"

"No, this is the place to store the scrolls. It is not open to the public. Unless it is ordered by Hokage to assist adults, no outsiders are allowed to enter except the members of our corpse disposal team." Squad leader Takano shook his head repeatedly.

Immediately,

The honest squad leader also recalled.

The smell of an outsider appeared in the library where only members of the corpse disposal class could enter and exit, which meant that it was not too much to figure out what an outsider had invaded here.

"And the smell here is clearer than the smell on that piece of paper... The source of the smell should not be more than twelve hours away from here." Parker continued.

Twelve hours?

This time is not important. According to Squad Leader Takano, yesterday he counted all the scrolls at 11 o'clock in the evening, and confirmed that there were a lot of them before going to rest. But when he came over this morning, he found that the scrolls were missing, which means he committed the crime. The time was yesterday on the wrist, and now it is more than twelve o'clock noon.

That is to say, things are lost in the middle of the night, and information about time is of little value.

What Kakashi values ​​is another sentence that Parker said. The smell in the library is clearer than the document, "Parker, can you try to track it?" Since the smell here is clearer, then Parker may be able to track it. The intruder who has left.

"I'm not sure, but...it didn't rain yesterday, I will try."

Parker jumped off Kakashi's shoulder, and again carefully smelled the remaining odor in the air, and then rushed out like a rabbit hit by an arrow. Kakashi followed him quickly when he saw it. The squad leader of the honest man who took a shot froze for two seconds before chasing it out, only to see Kakashi's back across the west wall.

Takano stood there hesitated for a while, wondering if he should follow, but soon he didn't have to worry about this problem anymore, because when he jumped on the wall, he found that he could not see Kakashi's back at all.

"Squad leader Takano?"

The voice came from below.

After regaining his senses, Takano looked back and saw the two small carrot heads, Uchiha Itachi and Kaguya Kimimaro.

"It's Itachi-kun, you came back so fast!"

"Squad leader Takano, where did Kakashi-senpai go?" Uchiha Itachi did not see Kakashi.

"How do you say that? It's a bit complicated..." Takano is not concise and can even be said to explain the situation with some verbose predictions. Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi has excellent patience and Kimimaro is not impulsive. , The two listened patiently to Takano's explanation, and quickly sorted them out.

"In other words, Kakashi-senpai discovered the whereabouts of the guy named Sasori and has already tried to track the target, right?"

"That's right."

Takano nodded.

He looked down at the two little turnip heads in front of him with a slight facial paralysis, and asked hesitantly: "That, Itachi-kun, have you found the whereabouts of this Sasori?"

"There is no such person in the army."

Uchiha Itachi jumped up when he was speaking, standing on the wall and looking up. He didn't see Kakashi's whereabouts at all, but this difficulty was not enough to prevent him from catching up. He bit his thumb and Jieyin used the Summoning Technique. , Summoned the crow that Shisui had raised.

These crows can't speak, but they are full of spirituality. They can even be used as a bridge to cast illusions. The crows who received the order spread their wings and fly high in the sky, looking down and looking down, looking for the white color. A man with hair, a mask, and probably a puppy with him.

"there's no such person?"

Hearing Uchiha Itachi's answer, Takano was stunned for a few seconds before he understood the meaning of these words. There is no such person in the army, which means that the young man who claims to be Sasori is probably not a Konoha Shinobi.

"So, I was deceived?"

Gao Ye murmured, a guilty expression appeared on his face. Looking back on that day when he was in contact with that young man, he seemed to be stupid and got a lot of things out of him.

"Wow-wow -"

The crow made a hoarse cry in the air.

Standing on the wall, Uchiha Itachi looked solemn and shouted, "I found Kakashi-senpai, Kimimaro, let’s go."

Before leaving, Uchiha Itachi glanced back at Takano, who was in guilt and couldn’t help himself. “Squad leader Takano, don’t be too guilty. From the current situation, the other party is deliberate and deliberate to do this kind of thing. It's difficult to be on guard in advance."

Leaving such a sentence,

Uchiha Itachi began to dash towards the west, Kimimaro followed closely, and the crows were spreading their wings in the sky, leading the way for the two below. Under the guidance of the crows, Uchiha Itachi and the two of them did not spend too long. Found Kakashi.

Different from Uchiha Itachi and Kimimaro,

Kakashi and Parker's tracking trip was a stop-and-go process. Although it didn't rain last night and the odor residues in the air were not washed away, Parker still needs to stop and check his direction.

"Kakashi-senpai, we are back."

"Are there any results from the investigation?"Kakashi glanced back at the two of them.

"No such person found."

"No such person found?"

"Yes, the name Sasori is not on the roster, and even the list of the dead has been asked. There is no such person. I originally suspected that this was a pseudonym, but when the patriarch heard the name Sasori, he said if it was not. Under the pseudonym, it is very likely that the offender was Sunagakure's rebel."

"...Ah! The genius stylist of the Sunagakure puppet unit, Sasori of the red sand."

Kakashi remembered.

This is a very famous guy. He was originally Sunagakure's rising star and a rising star. However, somehow, shortly after Third Kazekage died, the Third Ninja World War broke out. It should have been Sunagakure's sharp knife. Sasori of the red sand was declared by Sand Shinobi to be a traitor.

At that time, many people on Konoha's side were still excited about the news, and it was a good thing to miss a tricky enemy.

"Sasori of the Red Sands······Puppet Master? No wonder I can smell the smell of metal and wood. I am a puppet!" Parker also suddenly realized, regardless of its small size, but its age is not young at all. Before Hatake Shumosu committed suicide, it replaced the injured parents with Konoha's White Fang on several missions, and had dealt with Sand Shinobi's puppet masters. Those two Sand Shinobi puppet masters were quite powerful! It's a pity that it is not Konoha's White Fang's opponent after all.

"But why does a puppet master steal the body?"

After understanding the truth of the smell of metal, wood, and human beings, Parker's mind is more confused. According to his understanding, the puppet master is playing a puppet, a puppet made of wood and steel. , What do you want to do if you steal the body? Are you short of money and plan to exchange the corpse for money? It always feels wrong!

Parker has the same doubts, but Kakashi is also at a loss.

Understanding the true face of the thief, instead of letting him realize it, he became more and more puzzled. It is completely impossible to figure out why Sasori of the red sand did such a sneaky thing, it is simply...inexplicable!

"The patriarch has a reason."

Uchiha Itachi's sudden answer made Kakashi stop. Parker also stopped and looked back at Uchiha Itachi.

"Before I left, the patriarch told me that if the thief is really the Sasori of Red Sand, then be careful of the puppet of Sasori of Red Sand. The puppet used by Sasori of Red Sand is in addition to the kind of steel we know about the conventional concept. It’s crooked with the wood puppet, and the master is a kind of human puppet.” Before Kakashi asked, Uchiha Itachi relayed what Zongxuan had said.

"Puppet?"

When this particular word was connected to the stolen body, a terrifying thought suddenly emerged in Kakashi's mind, "Could it be said that this so-called human puppet was made using the corpse of a ninja as raw material?"

"This is what the patriarch said. The puppets of Sasori in the red sand can retain the Chakra meridian of the ninja, and can use the ninjutsu and blood inheritance limits of the master before his life, and said..." Here, Uchiha Itachi swallowed, even no matter how genius, such an amazing news still made it difficult for him to maintain his calm.

"I also said that Third Kazekage is likely to be made into puppets by Sasori of Red Sands. If we really meet Sasori of Red Sands, we must be careful of Third Kazekage's Sand Iron Technique. At the same time, let me tell Senior Kakashi that we don’t have to and Sasori of the Red Sands fights to death. If we lose, we are allowed to retreat at any time."

Kakashi was dumbfounded.

Third Kazekage...was made into a puppet?

What kind of shocking news is this? Because of the disappearance of Third Kazekage, the Sand Shinobi were suspected of being the hands of Konoha. They launched a war and opened the curtain of the Third Ninja World War... Regardless of the deep reasons for the outbreak of the war, at least it is clear. It is well known that the disappearance of Third Kazekage was the fuse of the Third Ninja War.

Unfortunately, until the end of the Third Ninja World War, the missing Third Kazekage was not found. This became a famous unsolved case in the Ninja World. It is said that Sand Shinobi has not given up looking for this third who is known as the strongest in the history of Fengying. Generation mesh.

If Hokage's assistance to adults is correct,

Co-author Sand Shinobi did the disappearance of Third Kazekage himself? As a result, he buckled the shit bowl on Konoha's forehead, and set off a battle that lasted for several years, during which countless Konoha Shinobi died, including his two teammates, Uchiha Obito and Nohara Lin.
