After being driven out of the hotel by the old lady, Xingliu and his friends were caught off guard. They stood on the deserted streets of the town and looked at each other in silence.

There was an awkward atmosphere of failure in the air. After all, the investigation they had expected had just begun and had already hit a wall.

Xingliu frowned and thought deeply. He was recalling the conversation with the old lady just now, trying to find some clues from it.

He could clearly feel that the old woman showed a very complicated emotion when she saw their forehead protectors.

There was obvious hostility and hatred in that emotion, but it seemed to hide some deep expectations, as if it was a contradictory psychological struggle.

"It seems that we are not welcome here."

Tsunade broke the silence with a little helplessness in her tone.

At this moment, Nono suddenly spoke:

"However, have you noticed that although the old lady has a deep prejudice against Konoha, she just drove us away, but she thought it was good for us."

Hearing Nono's words, Xingliu and Tsunade looked at her.

Nono's observation has always been sharp, which may be one of the reasons why she later became a spy with a title.

And this time, she did not disappoint them either.

Xingliu nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Nono's point of view.

He also felt that the old lady's reaction was indeed somewhat contradictory, as if she was deliberately hiding something.

And this also made them more certain that there must be unknown secrets hidden in this town.

At this time, Zhiliu also expressed his own opinion:

"It seems that this matter has a certain connection with Konoha."

As she said, she turned her head to look at Xingliu, revealing a hint of inquiry in her eyes:

"Xingliu, don't you usually work with Lord Mito? Don't you have any information about this town?"

Xingliu touched his nose awkwardly.

He worked with Mito? Just kidding, that's called slacking off together.

Tsunade and Nono obviously knew the inside story, and they smiled secretly when they saw Xingliu like this.

But then Nono stood up to help Xingliu:

"The situation here should never have been reported to the Hokage."

Tsunade frowned slightly and refuted:

"But this is the only way to Konoha. Even if the townspeople dare not report it, those nobles and merchants should not care."

This sentence was like a key, opening Xingliu's mind.

He turned his head to look at Nono and found that her eyes were also flashing with the same light.

"Who is responsible for receiving the release of external tasks in the Hokage Building?" Xingliu asked the question in his heart directly.

Nono nodded secretly, obviously she also thought of this.

Tsunade thought for a while and responded hesitantly:

"It should be someone from the Sarutobi clan, but I have to admit that I don't remember the specific name."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, as if she was sorry for her memory.

Suddenly, Tsunade nodded in realization, understanding what Xingliu was referring to:

"Are you saying that this person has a problem?"

She frowned, but then raised another question:

"But even if he has a problem, other people in the Hokage Building should not have heard the news? Could it be that the entire Hokage Building has a problem?"

There was a sense of disbelief in her voice.

Xingliu did not answer her directly, although he already had a vague answer in his heart.

"Let's go, let's go to the side and look for other clues."

Hearing him say this, the others nodded.

Although he said he was looking for clues in other places, Xingliu walked in one direction with a clear goal.

As if he was sure that there must be clues in that place.

On the way, some townspeople showed disgusted expressions after seeing their forehead protectors.

This made Tsunade and the others, who had never experienced such treatment, feel a little uncomfortable.

It also made them more angry at the culprit who caused all this.

Not long after, Xingliu brought them to the center of the town.

The scene in front of them was completely different from what they had just seen.

The buildings here were tall and magnificent, forming a sharp contrast with the shabby and low buildings before.

And the passers-by were cautious, as if they were afraid of disturbing the owner of the place.

Xingliu took a deep breath, and he knew that everything in front of him was enough to prove his guess.

However, he still needed a witness to make some people speechless.

So he took the three women to go deeper into the center of the town, and soon they came to the most magnificent building.

It was a huge mansion, and two warriors in armor stood in front of the door.As if they knew what was going to happen next, the three women looked at Xing Liu nervously.

Xing Liu chuckled:

"Wait here for a while, I'll be back soon."

After that, he slowly walked towards the mansion in front of him.

The two warriors obviously also found Xing Liu. They raised their weapons and shouted at her:

"Who are you?! Stop quickly, do you know whose place this is!"

However, Xing Liu sneered and then waved his hand violently.

In an instant, the giant dragon formed by fire roared and crashed into the gate of the mansion.

Although the two warriors were not his target, they were swept away by the powerful air wave and fell heavily dozens of meters away when the giant dragon passed by.

"Hoo!" After a deafening roar, the gate of the mansion was instantly swallowed by the giant dragon of fire and turned into ruins.

Dust flew everywhere, and the whole town seemed to tremble in this loud noise.

As the dust dissipated, Xingliu's cold eyes swept over everything in front of him.

At this time, the people in the mansion were also startled by the loud noise and ran out one after another.

A group of warriors in armor rushed out first, holding weapons in their hands and looking at Xingliu vigilantly.

Then, a fat, pot-bellied middle-aged man walked out of the door.

Behind him, three ninjas wearing Konoha forehead protectors also walked out.

His face was full of anger and arrogance, as if he was very dissatisfied with being disturbed.

When the middle-aged man saw that the person making trouble in front of the door was just a teenager, his face showed a more arrogant and angry expression:

"You are the kid who is making trouble? Don't you know where this is!?"

However, he did not notice that the three ninjas behind him had become terrified.

They widened their eyes, as if they had seen something terrible.

Sweat beads began to seep out of their foreheads, and their heartbeats began to accelerate.

They exchanged glances, then turned around and ran without hesitation, fleeing the scene without looking back.

The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw this scene, and then shouted angrily:

"What are you doing?! Come back to me!"
