Chapter 338: Evidence
The village erupted into controlled chaos as word spread. The Kage arrived within minutes, his experienced eyes taking in every detail of the crime scene. He quickly noticed the earth spear going through the body of Ryoshi's son and the wide cut in Ryoshi's neck, clearly the use of earth chakra.
But he didn't make any assumptions based on that. All villages, even minor ones, have one or two experts of Earth chakra. He quickly ordered the
"Yes, Lord Third."
…
"Good morning, Lord Third," Kaida's clone bowed his head.
"So little chakra... wait, you are not Kaida."
"Yes sir, as you have guessed, I am a shadow clone. I have a really important message I have to deliver."
"Go ahead."
"Lord Third, when I went to..." Kaida started to recount the whole mission detail about how when he went to Kusagakure, he found out about Iwa's plans and the elder's response, plight, and at that time, his plan to use the Uzumakis for bargaining. How he saved them and killed both the elder and his son, leaving behind evidence about Iwa's doing, and also taking two Uzumaki with them. He also shared the demands of those two Uzumaki girls for which they agreed to come to Konoha.
As the details progressed, Hiruzen's face changed many expressions from understanding, shock, worry, and then at last, a sigh escaped from his mouth—of course, those emotions were only visible because Hiruzen wanted them to be.
"Where are you at the moment?" Hiruzen asked.
"We should have completed resting at a village near the border and should be on our way here. We will reach Konoha by around 12 PM tomorrow," Kaida's clone said.
"Fine, I will send an Anbu squad for you just as a precaution. I assume you are going to have a talk with Fugaku after this?" Hiruzen asked.
"Yes, Lord Third, though I will not share anything about the mission," Kaida said.
"No need, this mission is not below his rank. He can know about it. Just tell him to meet me in the evening," Hiruzen said and then dismissed Kaida.
