Living in Naruto

Duchu Street, City Lord's Mansion.

In order to facilitate the protection of the city lord, Shikamaru and the others set up a temporary stronghold here. The city lord provided a conference room to facilitate Class 8 and Edition 10 to study the battle plan.

"Teacher Ashima, what are the results of the investigation?"

"It's basically confirmed that the Ghost-faced Man is the last missing person in the village east of Tuanchu Street."

Ashima gave the report to Shikamaru, "And there are more than 7 missing persons you mentioned, and we have some clues."

Shikamaru looked at the report, which detailed the missing persons reports in Tanshu Street in the past year.

"Sure enough!" Shikamaru looked at the report and frowned, "Are there actually 9 missing persons related to the incident..."

"It should be so," Ashima nodded: "There have been a total of 13 missing persons, including incidents, this year, and 9 of them occurred on the night of the full moon. In other words, the person who disappeared first It should be within the short book street city."

"It's just as I guessed..."

There was a map under Shikamaru's hand. The location of the missing persons was marked in detail on the map, and based on the locations of these members, it was summarized into a circular coverage area, with the middle point being on Tanshu Street.

"What to do next, Shikamaru." Ya was extremely impressed by Shikamaru at this moment. Everything was exactly as Shikamaru expected, and no one could help but admire him.

"Next, we're going to disturb the disabled!"

"Teacher Ashima, we need to investigate as soon as possible how many people with mobility impairments there are in Tuanzhu Street, who they are, and where they are. There are not many incidents left for us!"

"Well, leave it to me!" Ashima nodded, "Then I'll go investigate first. If you have anything, please contact me."

Shikamaru's investigation is in full swing here, and Tsunade, who has been handed over to the medical ninja for treatment, is also ready to go.

"Tsunade-sama, is it really okay for us to leave now?"

Shizune was a little worried, after all, she saw the seriousness of the situation.

"We don't need our help here anymore. That brat from the Nara family is not simple..."

In fact, Tsunade has always been very concerned about the incident. Shikamaru said that everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and she saw it.

"Then I'll go say goodbye to them and tell them we're going back to Konoha first."

"Well, go ahead and talk to the Nara brat by the way. I believe him."

……

When Shizune arrived at the castle lord's mansion, Shikamaru was arranging a new action plan with Ino and the others.

"Excuse me."

Shizune lightly knocked on the door of the conference room, and everyone who heard the movement turned to look at Shizune.

"Well, I'm here to say goodbye to everyone. Tsunade-sama has decided to leave for Konoha now."

"Huh? Aren't you coming with us?" Ino was surprised, and a little disappointed by the way.

"After all, Kyo is also very anxious. Even though Tsunade-sama is like this, she actually cares about Kyo very much."

"Is that so..."

In fact, in Inoya, Tsunade has always been an idol-like existence. Now that I heard that she is leaving, I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

Shizune noticed Ino's disappointment and smiled: "Don't take it too seriously. As long as you resolve the incident here as soon as possible, we can meet again in Konoha soon."

"That's right," Ino smiled with relief, "Then we'll see you in Konoha!"

"Well, Shikamaru." Shizune looked at Shikamaru, "Tsunade-sama asked me to bring you something."

"Oh?" Shikamaru was surprised that Tsunade had a single sentence for him: "What is it?"

"I believe you!"

& nb

sp;…

Tsunade's departure still has some impact on the Konoha side. After all, even if she does nothing, just being here will give Konoha's ninjas more confidence. But her parting message gave Shikamaru great encouragement, it was an acknowledgment that there was nothing more inspiring than being trusted by someone.

"In summary, we can now officially close the network!"

At the conference table, Shikamaru was full of confidence.

There is still one day before the full moon night, but Shikamaru's investigation has made considerable progress. If there are no accidents, the location of the real murderer has basically been confirmed.

"No need to confirm again, Shikamaru?" Ino looked at the location marked on the map, still a little doubtful.

"No need, that will only give the enemy more time to prepare." Shikamaru was very sure, "In this incident, both the city lord and several others had a very positive attitude towards the incident. Only this one , just quietly gathering manpower, the identity of the tax collector is not obvious like this, but since he has always looked down on what the city lord is doing, it is a bit unreasonable for him to act like this."

"Besides, there is indeed a person with mobility difficulties in his family..."

"That's it..." Ashima closed her eyes and exhaled slightly, "I believe you!"

The moment this decision was made, the offense and defense were reversed!

……

Ninjas are creatures of the night, and night is the best protective color. Most ninjas choose to operate at night, and Shikamaru and the others are no exception.

"Hinata, how is the situation inside?"

Many ninjas formed a faint encirclement around the Takahashi Mansion, led by members of Class 10 and Class 8. Shikamaru asked Hinata about the situation inside.

"The defenses are very tight. If you break in head-on, you will definitely be noticed."

Hinata had already opened her white eyes at this time, and ferocious blood vessels bulged around her eye sockets, adding a bit of sharpness to her originally gentle face.

"Sure enough," Shikamaru looked at Takahashi Mansion seriously, "There must be something wrong with such tight defense..."

"So Hinata, have you found any abnormal chakra?"

"No," Hinata shook her head, "but there are two locations that cannot be explored. They seem to be isolated by something, and the Byakugan cannot penetrate them."

"That's it..." Shikamaru understood, and took a deep breath: "Let's attack head-on, don't give the enemy a chance to prepare, the target is Tax Collector Takahashi!!"

The raid signal was sent out, and the Konoha ninjas took action at the same time. The entire Takahashi Mansion was invaded in an instant. The quiet night suddenly became noisy!

"Enemy attack!"

The defense of Takahashi Mansion itself was very tight, and it was difficult to make a silent surprise attack. Shikamaru chose to alert the enemy.

"Konoha ninjas? What are you going to do!"

The leader of the escort team was fighting with the ninjas, and his strength was obviously not weak. Children of such a big family often have such figures around them.

In order to avoid accidents, Konoha ninjas chose not to kill the enemy. Although the offensive was fierce, it was limited to the range that incapacitated the enemy.

"We have clear evidence that Tax Officer Takahashi has a clear connection with the recent missing persons incidents and riots. Please cooperate with our investigation!"

Shikamaru shouted, of course, the so-called clear evidence does not exist, it is just a bluff. Listing yourself as the righteous party not only provides justification for actions, but also weakens the enemy's morale.

"Damn it, you are making unreasonable slanders. When you get to the daimyo, you will not have good results!" The leader of the escort team is not a fool. At this time, he brought up the daimyo in the hope of stopping the actions of the Konoha ninjas.

"Then you must be innocent!" Ashima kicked several guards away, "Konoha ninjas obey the order and capture Takahashi alive!"
