Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 70: Accountability from Hanzo

A few minutes later, the patrolling Rain Ninja found the one-eyed Jonin lying in a pool of blood.

After confirming the identity of the one-eyed jonin, the patrolling Rain ninjas looked at each other, protected the scene, and sent people back to the Hidden Rain Village to report the information to the top leaders.

Not long after, Salamander Hanzo, who got the news, appeared at the scene in the heavy rain.

With the arrival of Hanzo of the Salamander, the atmosphere on the scene became tense, and all the ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village became uneasy.

They were worried that Hanzo would lose control of his emotions and vent his anger after seeing the body of the one-eyed jonin.

To everyone's surprise, Salamander Hanzo was unusually calm. After listening to the reports from the witnesses and the on-site survey, he calmly said:

"Leave the body to the medical team. I need a more accurate death report."

Faced with the wisdom and calmness of Hanzo of the Salamander, the Rain Ninjas present could not help but sigh in their hearts, saying that he was worthy of being Hanzo-sama, as he could still think calmly even after his trusted subordinates were killed.

……

After returning to the Hidden Rain Village, Salamander Hanzo locked himself in the office with a face as gloomy as water.

He couldn't imagine, nor was he willing to believe, that someone in the territory of the Rain Country would dare to attack the envoy he sent, and that too several kilometers away from the Hidden Rain Village.

For him, this was not just a matter of losing a jonin.

He even ignored his demigod dignity and threw his face to the ground and trampled on it mercilessly.

If he knew who attacked his messenger, he would make the other party pay a heavy price, knowing that his title of demigod was not boasted, but fought for.

As if wanting to vent his anger, Salamander Hanzo transformed into a desktop cleaning master and began to sweep.

Hearing the sounds of smashing and smashing in the office, the Yugakure jonin gathered at the door looked at each other. None of them dared to push open the door at this time. Not everyone could withstand the wrath of Lord Hanzo.

A few minutes later, Hanzo's voice rang out from the office: "Don't stand outside, come in."

After hearing this, the Rain Village jonins dared to enter the office. The jonin in charge of the autopsy said cautiously, "Master Hanzo, the autopsy report of the body is out."

Hanzo nodded, motioning for the jonin to continue.

The jonin did not dare to delay and said quickly: "Based on the marks left on the body, we speculated that the murderer used an explosive talisman to blow up the messenger...but in the chakra traces left at the scene, we detected wind attributes."

"Detonating Talisman and Wind Style Ninjutsu? Could it be the work of Sand Village?"

After listening to the autopsy report, Hanzo placed his suspicion on the Sand Village.

Explosive tags and wind-style ninjutsu can be said to be the characteristics of the Sand Village. He himself has had several battles with Elder Chiyo of the Sand Village, and the two sides can be said to be old enemies.

But now, Sunagakure has just signed a peace agreement with Konoha, and is now facing the invasion of the Mist Village.

He had no power to send ninjas to the Rain Country, let alone kill the messenger under his nose.

Could it be ninjas from other ninja villages, the Iwagakure ninjas or the Kumogakure ninjas who have been ready to make a move?
These people have no interest in anything with the Hidden Rain Village.

After ruling out the possibility of foreign ninjas one by one, Hanzo asked the Rain Country's jonin, "Is there anyone in the Land of Rain who is an expert at using detonating talismans?"

The Yuyin Jonin was about to say something but stopped himself and looked at the Salamander Hanzo cautiously, his meaning was already very clear.

The strongest ninja in the Rain Country who is most proficient in using Exploding Talismans is Hanzo of the Salamander. Hanzo can even use Exploding Talisman formations.

Hmm? Salamander Hanzo's expression changed slightly, and his eyes gradually became dangerous.

The Rain Hidden Ninja swallowed and said quickly:

"Lord Hanzo, besides you, the ninjas in the Rain Land who are most proficient in using detonating tags should be Konan and Byakuya of the Akatsuki organization. They have both mastered the secret technique of paper escape and have the ability to kill jonin." Before the jonin could finish his words, Hanzo of the Salamander's face turned ugly.

Yes, he had always ignored the Akatsuki organization.

The organization that was built under his nose was capable of killing and murdering jonin, but what he couldn't figure out was.

If this was really done by Akatsuki.

Why did Akatsuki kill the messenger? His act of sending the messenger was to show goodwill, and the cooperation between the two sides would bring more benefits than disadvantages.

In his opinion, Akatsuki had no motive to kill the messenger.

But his subordinates, and the Akatsuki organization just happen to have this ability.

Did the Akatsuki organization deliberately kill the messenger to give him a warning? If so, he would have to think carefully about his relationship with the Akatsuki organization.

Just as Salamander Hanzo was pondering the identity of the murderer, a ninja from the Intelligence Department walked into the office.

Under the gaze of Hanzo of the Salamander, the ninja from the Intelligence Department did not waste any time and directly took out the instrument for extracting the memory of the deceased and played the last memory of the deceased before his death to Hanzo of the Salamander.

After watching the video, Hanzo fell silent.

This secret technique of extracting memories from the brains of the dead was the product of his collaboration with Danzo.

The man in the messenger's memory was wearing a black auspicious cloud uniform and was obviously a ninja from the Akatsuki organization, but uniforms can never explain anything. The focus is on the boy in the picture.

Although Hanzo had never seen Byakuya before, he felt that this man should be Byakuya, a high-ranking member of the Akatsuki organization.

And the ability that Bai Ye is good at is the use of detonating talismans.

After confirming Bai Ye's identity from his subordinates, Hanzo pondered for a few seconds.

All the evidence now points to Bai Ye. The only doubt is, since Bai Ye killed the messenger, why didn't he destroy the body at the same time.

For an experienced ninja, destroying a corpse or taking it away is much more valuable than leaving it behind. Bai Ye should not have failed to think of this.

At this time, the jonin of the Hidden Rain Village beside him seemed to have thought of it and added:
"Master Hanzo, I heard that Byakuya is a hawk in the Akatsuki organization and has always been at odds with other high-ranking officials. Could it be that he is acting on his own this time? He wants to stop the Akatsuki organization from cooperating with us?"

The reminder from the Rain Village Jonin became the last piece of the puzzle in Hanzo's reasoning.

If Akatsuki had no intention of attacking the messenger, and it was the hawkish Byakuya who acted on his own initiative, then everything would make sense.

The cooperation between the Hidden Rain Village and the Akatsuki organization touched upon Bai Ye's interests, so Bai Ye is good at taking action.

Bai Ye, who was skilled in killing the messenger, did not inform other senior executives, nor did he get any help from them. That was why he seemed so flustered during the process of killing the messenger and even forgot to destroy the body.

After reviewing the attack from Bai Ye's perspective, Hanzo's expression became uncertain.

If the act of killing the messenger was done by Byakuya on his own initiative, then all they need to do is ask Yahiko and the others to hand over Byakuya, and the cooperation between Akatsuki and the Hidden Rain Village can continue.

However, the previous terms need to be slightly modified.

Such a maniac has appeared in the organization, and Yahiko and others must pay the due price.

As for whether Akatsuki would refuse to hand over Byakuya, Hanzo Salamander had never considered it.

Compared with the Hidden Rain Village, the Akatsuki organization is as immature as a child. In front of adults, disobedient children either have to obey them or get beaten up.

The Akatsuki organization has only two options: hand over the murderer, or hand over the murderer after being severely beaten.
