Naruto Reborn: The Rise of the Tsar

Chapter 156 Cases
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not depends on Master Kongji's decision."

Pushan's face was purple and he was filled with resentment. In all these years, ever since he became a 'torture ninja' in charge of the prisons and public security in the Capital of Wind, no one had ever dared to embarrass him like this.

"Brother Pushan." Fuchuan was still smiling, "Don't act like you're crying for your parents after being beaten. Don't you try to stumble me from behind? I don't take it to heart?"

Pu Shan looked at the other party deeply, feeling resentful but helpless in his heart. Unlike Nishino Kohaku, a commoner who suddenly got the title of 'Guardian Ninja' through sheer luck.

The opponent itself has great strength and was personally appointed by the daimyo. He is also closely involved with the Kazama clan and even controls the only tailed beast weapon in the Kingdom of Wind.

Even he couldn't control it at will. After thinking about this, Pushan forced the expression on his face to soften.

"What exactly are you 'inspector nin' planning to do here?"

"To put it simply, I want to borrow someone! Borrow the venue!"

"Haha." After hearing this, the iron-towered man sneered, "Forget about the venue. Criminals who have committed serious crimes are all imprisoned in this criminal law place. I will lend you the place. Should these murderers be killed or released? As for the people."

Pu Shan looked at the scene of people falling to the ground and wailing around him, and for a moment his anger surged up again, and the last words seemed to be shouted out.

"Ask them who is willing to follow you. I will never stop you!"

"This" Fuchuan was speechless for a moment. He originally planned to borrow some people to spread the situation first, but after a brief conflict, he suddenly remembered how these people bullied men and dominated women.

If he relied on them to maintain public order, Fuchuan suddenly had no intention of doing so.

"How is this going?"

A faint voice came, and Pu Shan suddenly turned around and knelt down as if he was electrocuted. His voice was slightly tragic: "Sir!"

Then he said nothing, quietly waiting for his superior's judgment.

Fuchuan looked around for a moment and found that the current situation did not seem to be conducive to him, so he said helplessly, "I had some misunderstandings with Brother Pushan's men. I will be lenient this time. If Shukaku is summoned, There can’t be anyone alive in this area.”

The thin man was stunned when he heard this half-admission, half-threat. Then he shook his head and said, "I already know the cause and effect of the matter. You have just arrived and have no foundation. How do you make others trust you? Depend on you? Not everything can be done with fists. fixed."

"If no one interferes with it, I think it would be much simpler."

Kongji's face suddenly darkened, and he turned to Pushan who was prostrate on the ground and said, "I heard that you have a serial murder case on your hands. The person who was killed seems to be quite famous?"

"It's an adult. The villain has made some progress now, but the real culprit has not been caught yet." Pushan raised his head at this moment and said to Fukawa who looked fearless on the side, "I believe that the 'Inspection Ninja' is very powerful. The real culprit can be caught and brought to justice!”

"In this way, you will be able to capture the real culprit within a week, and this fight will be forgotten, and all the office space and manpower that will be missing will be replenished for you. If you find nothing by then, don't even think about this year's 'Guardian Ninja' assessment. It’s impossible for me to give you any more human or financial support. At that time, you can resign yourself to the Daimyo. Are you willing to accept it?”

Fukawa stared at the other person's eyes quietly, and his intuition told him that this task was not that simple. He even had an intuition that this so-called big shot of one of the three inner ninjas seemed not to want him to stay in the Capital of Wind.

"Then...just follow what you say!"

In the evening, in Nishino's small courtyard. "The recent serial murder case? The one in which three of the Eight Dukes of Wind City died?" Nishino frowned, "This is a hot potato!"

"What is the 'Eight Great Dukes'?"

"The City of Wind controls the economic lifeline of the entire Kingdom of Wind, and the economic lifeline of the City of Wind is tightly held in the name of eight business groups. These eight people are called the 'Eight Dukes'."

"The industries they are engaged in include strategic materials such as ores, finished cutting tools, grain, and fabrics, as well as huge profit industries such as casinos and brothels. They turn over wealth to Daming Palace every year, and Daming Palace will also provide support for their business activities. There are even rumors , their personal bodyguards are all guardian nin chosen by the daimyo!"

"Can the daimyo's guardian nin protect him personally?"

"Haha. That's what I said. It's impossible even when I think about it." Nishino laughed. "If the guardian nin was really allowed to be a personal bodyguard, wouldn't he have no secrets at all in front of Kongoji-sama? I don't think there is anyone. Be willing to tell others all your secrets.”

"It stands to reason that such a person," Fuchuan said doubtfully, "must be surrounded by very tight protection!"

"It's not just someone who is very close to me," Nishino said slowly, "I don't know their whereabouts at all."

"However, even within a week like this, three of the Eight Great Dukes died."

"This incident has directly alarmed the daimyo. Last week, the daimyo asked Pushan to solve the case within a month!"

"Folk rumors say that the murder was caused by business conflicts!"

"Oh? Really?" Fuchuan immediately became interested. "What do you think?"

"It's not that simple." Nishino sneered at this statement. "These eight princes are not a good person. They are backed by the Daming Mansion. If there are any enemies alive, they may have secretly asked Master Kongji to help solve the problem. How can we wait for the other party to come forward?" Come to seek revenge?"

"Lord Kongoji?"

"Yes, Lord Kongoji has a good relationship with them. After all, the taxes they pay every year account for more than half of the entire country of wind. Protecting their safety also protects the daimyo's pocketbook."

"I've even heard that some of the business rivals of the Eight Families were 'solved' by the Guardian Ninja secretly. That's why the Eight Families have remained the Eight Families for so many years."

"So why do I feel that our 'Guardian Ninja' are similar to ordinary killer organizations?"

"Originally, it's almost the same. Assassinating enemy political figures and investigating intelligence is one of our tasks to protect the ninja." Nishino smiled and said, "It's just that we haven't been able to enter the inner circle of the daimyo. However, I think Fushikawa, you With strength, sooner or later there will be such a day.”

"Maybe." Fuchuan disagreed in his heart. He still wanted to return to his hometown and live happily with his family, and he didn't want to be someone else's white glove. "But the most urgent thing is to find the remaining five of the 'Eight Grand Dukes' "

"Perhaps, I happen to know the whereabouts of someone."

Nishino Road "The ore merchant, one of the Eight Grand Dukes, seems to have an important business meeting tomorrow at the Morning Glory Tower on First Avenue."
