At this time, in the study room of His Highness.
His Highness held the Daimyo's body and burst into tears. Two root ninjas stood guard beside him.
Shinnosuke, on the other hand, was forced into the corner of the room by the other eleven guards, ready to fight.
After a while, a group of ministers came over after hearing the news. They looked at the daimyo who had lost his breath, and their faces were extremely ugly.
They all asked the people in the room:
"Who harmed the lord?"
The eleven guards all turned their attention to Shinnosuke, with alert looks in their eyes.
The ministers looked at each other in shock when they saw such a scene.
Then it was replaced by resentment.
"Shinnosuke, do you know what you are doing?
Is this what you mean or what Konoha means. "The finance minister immediately shouted and asked.
Shinnosuke looked solemn and said:
“I didn’t kill the daimyo.
I was in the hall just now, and His Highness and His Highness the Daimyo were in the study.
After I sensed the chakra fluctuation, I rushed in and found that His Highness had killed His Highness the Daimyo with Earth Release and Earth Thorn.
I was about to arrest His Highness when these two... ANBU ninjas came in. "
Everyone was slightly startled after hearing Shinnosuke's explanation, and then turned their attention to His Highness, who was crying.
His Majesty's lips were pale, and he slowly raised his head to look at Shinnosuke with a numb face.
"hehe......
Is Nahara already so impatient?
What benefit did he give you to let you take such a big risk to frame me. "
Shinnosuke frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, your methods are too clumsy.
I have no reason to kill His Highness the Daimyo.
On the contrary, it is you, because His Highness the Daiming wants to pass the position to the Second Highness, and you feel resentful towards His Highness the Daiming. "
His Highness's eyes were full of tragedy. He hugged the daimyo's body tightly, tried his best to suppress his emotions, and sobbed:
"How could I bear to kill my biological father."
The Supervisory Minister narrowed his eyes and asked Shinnosuke, "Why are you in the room?"
Shinnosuke said calmly: "His Highness asked me to wait in the room to protect his safety."
When the Supervisory Minister heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Don't you think the excuse you made up has too many loopholes? There are four guards guarding the outside, so there is no need for you to come in."
Then he asked the nurse who was guarding the daimyo at night: "What did the four of you see when you came in?"
One of the oldest nurses said solemnly: "When we came in, we only saw His Highness holding the body of His Highness the Daimyo.
Shinnosuke was about to attack His Highness, but was blocked by two Konoha ANBU who jumped in from the window. "
"The two of them were sent by Lord Danzo to protect me. I don't know the reason." His Highness explained casually.
Upon hearing this, the Supervisory Minister frowned.
This matter is even more complicated. Maybe the daimyo is just a victim of the power struggle in the Ninja Village.
At this moment, His Royal Highness, surrounded by a group of attendants, came to the study.
"What's wrong with dad? Is dad okay?"
When His Highness heard this voice, there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
However, as soon as His Highness stepped into the study, he saw the daimyo pierced by earth thorns and blood flowing all over the room.
Immediately his eyelids twitched and he fainted from fright.
Fortunately, the attendants were quick to catch him.
The ministers couldn't help but frowned when they saw His Highness's appearance, and quickly ordered: "Take His Highness back to rest."
The two people present had extremely special identities. One was the son of the Hokage and the other was the son of the daimyo.
Without irrefutable evidence, even arresting them is impossible.
The matter reached a deadlock for a while, and all the ministers were helpless.
The Supervisory Minister said solemnly:
"Is there any way you can prove your innocence?"
His Highness shook his head and said:
“Everything happened suddenly and I had no way to prove my innocence.
I used to think that Shinnosuke was colluding with Nahara, but seeing how sad Nahara looked, it might be because of other reasons.
However, I think we can search Shinnosuke's mansion to see if there are any clues. "
One of the nurses immediately said coldly: "I'll check.
No one is allowed to leave until the truth is revealed, and the Fire Capital is immediately under martial law. "
At this time, except for Shinnosuke, the twelve guardians were basically cultivated by the daimyo by spending a lot of resources.
They have been loyal to the daimyo since birth, and many ministers also trust them.
Unlike the later period when Asma became the guardian, she divided the guardian into moderate and radical factions.
One side is loyal to the daimyo and the other side is loyal to the hokage.
After a while, the nurse returned to the study with a gloomy face, holding a piece of paper tightly in her hand.
It was the letter of guarantee that His Highness the Second Highness wrote to Shinnosuke before.
"I found this in the secret room of his bedroom."
When Shinnosuke saw it, his heart suddenly trembled, and he thought to himself: Damn it, it was calculated.
The nurse handed the guarantee letter to others to read one by one. Sure enough, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Shinnosuke.
The Supervisory Minister looked at Shinnosuke with cold eyes.
"How do you explain this? You are His Highness's nurse, why should you ask His Highness to write a guarantee for you?
When did your relationship with His Highness become so good? What kind of deal did you make? "
Shinnosuke was sweating profusely at this moment, and his anger was rising in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said to His Highness: "You did it on purpose from the beginning..."
His Highness lowered his head and did not look at Shinnosuke. He kept breathing heavily and said angrily:
"Nahara...why did you do this..."
Shinnosuke knew that he could not argue, but he thought that he had a special status, even if he was being slandered now.
You can also wait for Sarutobi Hiruzen to send someone to help find out the truth.
Presumably His Highness's despicable methods will definitely surface under the investigation of Konoha Anbu.
He immediately said loudly: "I know you don't believe me, it doesn't matter, I will not leave the City of Fire.
You can find out the specific situation slowly. "
However, as soon as he finished speaking, His Highness raised his head with a sneer and said:
"Okay, now you are still stubborn.
Then I suggest asking a ninja who can torture memories to check Shinnosuke's memory.
But this ninja cannot be from Konoha. "
All the ministers looked at each other.
Probing memories can take a heavy toll on the psyche.
Shinnosuke's status is too special. For the ministers who are always accustomed to weighing the pros and cons, no one dares to agree with him.
But for the other eleven guards, who are loyal to the Daimyo, this is a very good suggestion.
At that moment, a guard said:
"Can."
"I just happened to learn some ninjutsu to explore memories, let me do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shinnosuke's hands turned into afterimages and quickly formed seals.
The whole person suddenly plunged into the ground, broke through the ground, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Now that things have come to this point, it is naturally impossible for Shinnosuke to stay and have his memory checked.
Putting aside the serious side effects of the investigation, let me just say that every piece of information I know about Sarutobi Hiruzen is considered top secret.
How can I let others know.
And when he escaped like this, in the eyes of everyone, he did not dare to have his memory probed and fled with a guilty conscience.
"catch him."
The eleven guards had a tacit understanding and left five people to guard the study.
The remaining six people disappeared and chased Shinnosuke.
