Chapter 61 Interrogation
Chapter 61 Interrogation
After the mine was illuminated by the "Flame Bullet," the Urami brothers were stunned to discover that the ones who had "wiped out" them were just two teenagers.
Although it's normal for a twelve-year-old to go to the battlefield given the current level of infighting in Kirigakure, there really aren't any that strong!
Shouldn't the children from other ninja villages be weaker because they lack combat experience and have never seen real war?
Seeing that "Three Platforms Messenger - Tanuki Treasure" had been summoned by Akaishi, Urami Kirita's heart sank even further...
However, Chishi completely ignored his questioning. The three envoys directly swung their scythes, and several blades that condensed in the void immediately attacked the four Mist Hidden Ones present.
"what!"
The four of them exclaimed in surprise.
On the one hand, I was startled, and on the other hand... it was really unpleasant to be hit.
However, the next moment they discovered that at least the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere did not occur, and neither the special water chakra that stuck to them nor the rock pillars formed by earth chakra were cut down.
The only thing that has changed is...
"To think that he could kill me with a single blow..." Wu Tai's expression froze for a moment.
He could already feel that the slash he had just received had taken away his chakra!
Even a dignified Chunin, whose chakra hadn't been used up much, was completely wiped out in a single blow.
This time, without a doubt, it was a proper "sealing technique" targeting the target's chakra.
Without the "sealing technique," there would have been no prior consideration of "leaving survivors."
"You guys..." Kirita's face turned ugly.
"Is Kirigakure going to war with Konoha? Not only did they trespass into the Land of Whirlpools, but they also ambushed our Konoha Jonin squad!" Akaishi demanded.
"Konoha intervened in the Land of Waves first! And... the Land of Whirlpools is also at sea..." Kirita muttered to himself.
When the power was initially divided, the Land of Fire and the Land of Water did have disagreements, especially regarding the Land of Whirlpools.
However, the Uzumaki clan of the Land of Whirlpools was an ironclad ally of Konoha, and at that time Konoha was powerful, so Kirigakure could only tacitly accept having such a "thorn" in the sea.
"So you were the ones who did the tragedy in the Land of Whirlpools!" Akaishi shouted directly.
Lan Wu, still a bit shy, couldn't help but glance at Akashi—after all, they weren't truly unaware of the matter; not long ago, Jiraiya had said it was done by Kumogakure.
"Of course not! We just want the ore here... if the Land of Whirlpools were still here..." Urami immediately denied.
If the Land of Whirlpools still existed, Kirigakure wouldn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble and would simply buy it directly. The raw material they discovered before was also sold by the Land of Whirlpools.
However, they were shocked to discover that the Land of Whirlpools had been destroyed, and they also discovered that... the Land of Waves's merchant guild was actually issuing missions in Konoha!
And so, the scene we see now unfolded...
"Where did you lead the Konoha Jonin team? What's your conspiracy?!" Akaishi continued to press.
However, this time Urami has remained silent.
what--
Akaishi stepped directly on Urami Namizo's hand, which still had a kunai stuck in it...
Caught off guard, Bo Zao screamed in agony.
This scene made Lan Wu slightly uncomfortable, but she understood that it was a "necessary measure." As for Akashi... his blood-red Sharingan remained calm.
but……
Boza quickly suppressed his screams. Even as Akamizu stomped on the kunai and ground it hard, he gritted his teeth and kept quiet, making the sound of the kunai scraping against his bones even more obvious.
Kirita sneered, "Konoha? Uchiha? It seems you've been sheltered in your greenhouse for too long. You think you can make us submit like this?"
Akashi frowned upon hearing this—unfortunately, Akashi didn't really know any interrogation techniques. If Yamanaka Inoichi were here, that would be great. The Yamanaka clan's secret technique could directly extract their memories.
As for slowly tormenting someone with illusions...
Putting aside the time efficiency, it would also consume too much of the Red Stone, and with powerful enemies outside, it is clearly not suitable to do so.
Akaishi then looked at the three trembling merchants from the Land of Waves...
"Are you the ones who commissioned the Jonin squad?" Akaishi avoided mentioning that he was also there to carry out this mission, lest the other party mistakenly think he had something to rely on.
"No, that's right..." said the merchant from the Land of Waves.
Although the three of them were not restricted in their movements, they dared not move at all now.
"Then why didn't you go and meet up with the ninja who accepted the mission? Instead, you cooperated with Kirigakure to ambush them. Could it be that you intentionally set a trap?" Akaishi questioned directly.
"This... no, no! We also met the ninja from Kirigakure at sea..." the merchant said, glancing occasionally in the direction of Urami Kirita and Namizo.
Clearly, among the six people who came in, the Urami brothers held a higher position, and Kirita was the commander.
Meanwhile, judging from Shiokawa's reaction, he and the young male chunin Momochi Senzan should be commoners, while the Urami brothers, the murdered Mizusawa, and the young female chunin Shioya Masui are from ninja clans.
This combination was somewhat unexpected by Akaishi...
After all, this is completely different from what Jiraiya-sensei said!
Didn't they say that the commoners and ninja clans of Kirigakure were fighting each other?
However, since the other party is unwilling to reveal even their plot against Jiraiya and his group, it would be a waste of effort to inquire about the internal affairs of Kirigakure.
"Where did you lead Konoha's team?" Akaishi demanded directly.
"This...we didn't provoke it, we don't know anything about it..." The leading merchant quickly shook his head.
"It seems that some pirate ninjas have already defected... Ah!" The young merchant next to him muttered softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Urami Namizo glared at him. Although he was lying on the ground with his hands covered in blood, his eyes were still fierce, which startled the young businessman.
"What are you glaring at me for!" Akaishi kicked him.
But at that moment, Chi Shi suddenly froze, then immediately came to his senses and said to Lan Wu, "Use a shadow clone to send those three away first!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Wu immediately understood that someone must have come in again, and Shui Men had issued a warning from outside.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
As Lan Wu released her shadow clone, the raccoon dog, whose mind was in sync with Chi Shi's, floated up in the form of the "Three Platforms Messenger." Immediately, a circular mantra appeared beneath its feet, with the character "Three" on top and the character "Mysterious" below...
Then, the "Three Platforms Messenger - Badger Treasure" sank into the disc, and what emerged from below was none other than the "Black Tortoise - Badger Treasure".
Then, Lan Wu's shadow clone, along with the three merchants, sank into the earth and disappeared!
As for Akaishi and Ranma?
No need!
Akaishi's shadow clone has already heard the information Minato reported...
All eight remaining Chunin from the opposing side have come down—including the one who ran back earlier.
The three Jonin outside were doing their best to break the seal. If it weren't for the sealing technique, Akashi and the others would have been able to hear it from here.
In this way, Akaishi prepared to use a countermeasure against those eight Chunin...
As for Jonin?
If they come in, it means the seal has been completely broken. Once the seal is broken, Chishi can use "Earth Submarine" to take Lanwu away at any time!
