After Hanyu's real body returned, Sakumo and Mina arrived soon after. So at the agreed time, the team members who had completed their respective tasks gathered together again.
In this way, most of the tasks of this trip to Daimyo Castle have been completed, except... Hanyu frowned and looked at Sakumo, the way this man carried someone on his back now looked a little too chic.
"Sakumo, you were supposed to just go and save people, but now...what's going on?"
This doesn't look like he just rescued people, Sakumo obviously did something else.
If Sakumo was two years older, things would be a bit serious.
However, Sakumo was still just an innocent child. He did not understand what Hanyu said at all. He just said to himself, "The mission has been successfully completed. There were no accidents along the way. This... is the sister."
Well, she is just your sister, and your sister said that purple is very charming?
Hanyu nodded. Judging from Sakumo's reaction, he was telling the truth. This man's character was trustworthy. He was not Jiraiya... and Sakumo was different from Hanyu. People like him probably wouldn't lie.
As for Hanyu... he is still a good liar. He himself calls it "intelligence camouflage" and arbitrarily thinks that a ninja who can't lie is not a good ninja.
Nono Totsuki, who was carried on the back of Sakumo, couldn't help but tighten her arms when she saw Hanyu. Although Sakumo was very scary when he appeared before, she now felt that Sakumo was a very gentle person. What made people even more frightened was Hanyu... Since ninjas are always killing, they are sometimes more careless about some things.
But it is different for an ordinary person like Nono who is sensitive. Although she did not realize that Hanyu had just killed someone, after all, Hanyu had cleaned himself up before returning, and there was not even a trace of blood on him, but she could feel the dangerous aura emanating from Hanyu.
This feeling is quite mysterious and has no basis. She just feels this way.
And what matters is that her feelings are correct.
"In that case, we can evacuate now."
The apparent mission had been completed, so there was no need for the team to stay in Daming City any longer, so they left the alley and moved stealthily out of the city.
Soon after, the team left Daimyo Castle.
However, just after they left the city, the whole city suddenly became noisy, as if something horrific had happened.
Earthquake? I didn't feel anything. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Sakumo was also surprised. Even if the other party discovered that the hostage had disappeared so quickly, a hostage of little value would not cause such a riot as to shock the entire city.
"Sakumo...did you really do anything besides saving people?"
So Hanyu is a liar. While his teammates were still surprised, he had already started to put the blame on others.
"…"
Sakumo shook his head blankly. He really didn't do anything unnecessary. But after he glanced at the slender arms around his neck, he said, "I also stole a bed sheet from them, but the Fire Country Daimyo... wouldn't for a bed sheet, right?"
Looking at what the kid said, I wonder if Hanyu feels ashamed. Sakumo really didn't do anything wrong, he even remembered stealing a bed sheet clearly, in comparison, Hanyu is really cruel and ruthless.
"Is that so... Then we don't owe the casino any money, " Hanyu pretended to think for a moment, then continued, "Anyway, it seems that something big must have happened in Daimyo Castle. Sakumo and Sanna, you should take your people back to Konoha first. Tsunade and I will stay here for the time being. We have to find out what happened in this city."
This judgment was reasonable. Even if the team was divided, they would not encounter any danger in the Fire Country. Therefore, Sakumo nodded, and the three of them left in the direction of Konoha.
Tsunade and Hanyu stayed here.
"Hanyu...what should we do next?"
Tsunade was not aware of Hanyu's plan. She thought that after completing the mission in Daimyo Castle, everyone would return directly to Konoha to avoid suspicion, but she did not expect that Hanyu decided to stay here.
"Wait until daybreak, and then enter the city openly," said Hanyu.
At least he will wait until the situation in Daimyo Castle stabilizes before returning to Konoha. Even if he enters the city tomorrow, no one will suspect him...Except for the Daimyo himself, who would think that the Konoha Ninja Village, which shares weal and woe with the country, would take action against the Daimyo? This in itself is something that is unacceptable.
By the next morning, the entire Daming City had been completely blocked with all four gates closed.
Hanyu and Tsunade came to the front gate and said to the soldiers on guard, "Everyone, I am Hanyu, a jonin from Konoha. I am here under the order of the Third Hokage to explain to the Daimyo the accidental death of the Daimyo's envoy in Konoha. I also want to discuss with the Daimyo the issue of the 'Twelve Guardian Ninjas' who were sent back to Konoha... Why is the city closed now? Is there something going on in the city?"
After hearing Hanyu's voice, a soldier leaned out from the passengers on the city gate. When he saw the forehead protector on Hanyu's head, he immediately turned around to report something. After a moment, he leaned out again and said to Hanyu and the other man, "Mr. Jonin of Konoha, please come up directly. There are some problems in Daimyo Castle now, so the gate cannot be opened for the time being."
Hanyu and Tsunade looked at each other, then walked up to the city wall as if they were walking on flat ground.
"Hanyu Jounin, you have arrived at the right time. Please follow me now. We must hurry to the palace."
After Hanyu and Tsunade came up, the captain of the guard guarding the city immediately spoke to him anxiously... They didn't even check Hanyu's identity as a "Konoha Jonin", which showed that this group of people was already in a state of panic.
"What happened?"
Hanyu frowned and said as if he knew nothing.
The captain of the guard was silent at first, but in the end he still believed that Konoha's ninjas should be trusted, so he leaned close to Hanyu and whispered, "I was originally the captain of the guard of the palace, and just last night... the daimyo died unexpectedly, so now I am here to seal the city gate."
Hanyu burst out laughing and looked at the other person with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?" This is the self-training of an actor.
"It is true, sir, please follow me."
The other party also seemed to know that this matter was hard to believe. After all, Daimyo was still alive and kicking yesterday. Who would have known that he would die just like that?
This happened just after the Konoha ninjas left. Now the chief of guards and many others are questioning the daimyo's stupid move to expel the Konoha ninjas. He deserved to die, but he left behind such a mess... Now there must be many people criticizing the daimyo.
"Please lead the way."
Hanyu finally seemed to be half-believing and he signaled the captain of the guard to lead the way, and then he followed behind him.
When he and Tsunade came to the daimyo's bedroom again, they found that many nobles had gathered there, but the "crime scene" was not destroyed. Instead, it was well protected... Obviously this was intentional.
Hanyu stood in front of the underage Tsunade as if he was seeing this scene for the first time. He then whispered in a voice that everyone could hear:
"This… is so inappropriate.
The cause of the daimyo's death...
This can only be a sudden illness or death from old age."
