Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 183 The Ghost Case

Time flies so fast, more than half a year has passed since the death of the third generation. Under the leadership of the fifth generation Hokage Tsunade, Konoha continues to maintain its reputation as a strong village in the ninja world.

After Tsunade started a crazily inward trend of accepting tasks a while ago, Konoha has become the most trusted ninja village by all countries, and there are many people who come from thousands of miles to entrust tasks.

Fortunately, after Konoha re-consolidated its position in the ninja world, it began to gradually reduce the amount of tasks. After all, ninjas are not invincible and need to rest.

He Xing took advantage of three months of training to get rid of those complicated tasks, but as soon as he returned home, he heard Tsunade looking for him everywhere.

In front of Ichiraku Ramen Shop, I came here for lunch for the third consecutive day to make up for Uncle Ichiraku’s ramen sales.

Just as He He was enjoying his delicious meal, a young man hid next to the stall and looked at him with saliva. He looked back and said, "Let's eat together?"

"No, I'll just watch."

The little brother looked shy, and he was stumped by this. Who could eat when someone looked at him with such eyes?

"Uncle Ichiraku, bring this little brother a bowl of extra-large ramen. I'll treat him." You Xin greeted the little brother to come over and sit down.

Judging from his appearance, he must have not eaten for a long time and it is obvious that he is short of money.

Finally unable to resist the cry of his stomach, the boy put aside the dough and swallowed the ramen like a wolf. He finished five bowls of ramen in a row before giving up.Then he said with a face of shame: "Thank you, my name is Qiandao, a daimyo servant from the Kingdom of Birds."

"Hello, my name is Yueguang Hexin."

He had noticed early on that he was not from the Leaf Village, and he must have come to the Leaf Village to entrust a mission.

Then the two chatted after eating, Qiandao said: "I came to Konoha to entrust the task. Recently, there are ghosts haunting our country, causing panic and turmoil in the country."

"Oh? Ghost?" Liu Zhen asked curiously.

Brother Qiandao nodded, "It looks like a ghost of a samurai. Some people say that the ghost was transformed into the eldest brother, Lord Ogre. He came back to take revenge because he was killed by a traitor."

"Can you tell me in detail?" Hexin asked.

"The old Daimyo passed away a year ago, and the position of Daimyo was passed to his son, Lord Sagi. Since then, mysterious ghost warriors often appeared at night. At first, they only appeared once or twice, but then they became more frequent and people died. A while ago I even approached Lord Meng Zong, who ordered me to come to Konoha for help."

Qiandao said worriedly.

"Lord Heron's twin sister, Princess Ibis, also died unexpectedly. Now he is alone and encounters strange things like ghosts. He and I are good friends who grew up together, and I can't bear to see him encounter such a situation. So I traveled thousands of miles to Konoha and accidentally spent all my money."

Qiandao scratched his head and smiled wryly.

Suddenly, a pink piglet jumped from under the table to the table, and then made a lot of chirping noises at Zhanxin.

Qiandao asked in shock: "What is it talking about?"

"Tujin said that Tsunade-sama is looking for me. I'll see you, Brother Qiandao later." Xin Xin waved his hand and followed Tonto to the Hokage Building.

Qiandao felt a little weird. Why could he understand pigs talking?Then he asked Xiang Yile, "Uncle, pay attention to who he is."

Uncle Ichiraku narrowed his eyes and said, "He is a very powerful ninja in Konoha."

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade sat at her desk and looked at a power of attorney in her hand, with Kakashi and Shizune standing beside her.

Hexin walked in and nodded to the three of them. Tsunade looked at her and said, "I'm a little thinner, a little taller, and I feel more mature."

"My hair is a little longer too," Shizune added. "Long time no see." Hexin waved his hand.

"There is an important mission. Kakashi, as the captain, and Hein, Neji, and Tenten as team members, go to the Kingdom of Birds to get rid of the ghosts that are causing trouble." Tsunade said seriously after greeting for a while.

"What level is this mission? Why do we need to send out an elite Jonin like Mr. Kakashi?" Liu Zhen asked in confusion.

"That's a ghost!" Shizune said matter-of-factly.

"Of course, things like unknown creatures should be taken seriously. With Kakashi and you, there should be no problem." Tsunade agreed.

Carefully accepted the task, after three months of cultivation, it was time to go out and have fun. He was confident that a ghost or something could be sent to the Pure Land with a single talisman of rebirth.

Then the four members of the team gathered in Konoha, and Hexin met Qiandao again. Qiandao was naturally very happy to be able to walk with Hexin.

The Kingdom of Birds is located at the junction of the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth, just above the Kingdom of Stone that we visited last time.

Along the way, Qiandao was also explaining the situation of the Bird Country to everyone, and everyone got a general idea.

As he walked, He Xin asked: "Who are the important figures in the Bird Kingdom, and what is the relationship between them?"

"After the death of the old daimyo, there were originally two heirs, one was his son Lord Lu, and the other was the counselor Lord Hongming. Only with the insistence of the highly respected Lord Meng Zong did Lord Hongming be prevented from taking over the position of the daimyo. In the end, it was Lord Lu succeeds to the throne." Qian Dao replied.

Neji asked in confusion: "Can the position of daimyo be passed on to outsiders? Who is that Lord Komei?"

Qiandao said: "Lord Hongming and Lord Mengzong are both high-ranking ministers of the Kingdom of Birds. Lord Hongming is the armed guard who controls the Kingdom of Birds. He has made great contributions to the country. He is qualified and capable to inherit The position of Daimyo.”

Hehe asked: "Can you tell me more about Meng Zong?"

"Master Meng Zong is a highly respected monk. He came to the Kingdom of Birds many years ago and was highly regarded by the Daimyo. Now he has a high prestige and is kind and kind. It was he who promoted me to become the Daimyo's servant."

Qiandao said with a longing look on his face.

"Is it also Lord Meng Zong who asked me to entrust you with the task?" Tiantian asked again.

Qiandao nodded.

Kakashi analyzed: "The time when the ghost appears is very critical. I heard you just said that the ghost only appeared after the death of the boss. There are even rumors that it is the ghost of the boss who caused trouble, so this must be related to his death. related."

"How did the boss die?" Neji asked.

"There was no controversy at the time that he died of illness." Qiandao replied, "It was only later that there were rumors that he was murdered."

Neji pinched his chin and rolled his eyes: "If the boss is killed, who will benefit the most?"

"It's Master Hongming!" Tiantian said in surprise.

"No, there is also that Meng Zong-sama." Kakashi said.

"How is that possible? I have always been taken care of by Master Meng Zong, and he doesn't care about power. He only thinks about Master Lu." Qiandao objected.

"Yes, and it was Master Meng Zong who asked Brother Qiandao to ask us for help. It shouldn't be him." Tiantian judged in a low voice.
