Chapter 303 You can't just suspect me, can you? That's not fair!

Chiyo is feeling a bit numb now.

Why did I have to encounter so many things?

To be honest, the situation is really not good.

"Are you sure? To be honest, there are some things you can't just say." Chiyo believed him, but she couldn't say it out loud, so she needed to confirm.

Of course, what she meant was that Ye Cang shouldn't speak carelessly and shouldn't say things without evidence.

Fengying must not be slandered; spreading rumors is never a good thing.

Moreover, there's the village's Shadow Squad's assassination attempts...

This is a huge scandal; it's not good for unity.

Without evidence, this matter cannot be pursued, so Chiyo hopes that Yokura's side has no evidence, or that the matter can be dropped.

As for assassination...

Well, since nothing's wrong, then forget about it.

Yekura understood, of course, but she couldn't let it go.

Things that need to be done cannot be left undone; they must be done.

"Hmph, is that all? Advisor Chiyo, you think you can just turn the page like this? I was assassinated by the Anbu, three whole squads came to assassinate me..."

"Hehe, you really think highly of me."

Yekura was unwilling, so she was reminding Chiyo that she needed to know what she meant by 05: three ANBU squads, that's quite a big deal.

Chiyo: “…”

Damn Rasa, why did he have to do this?

To actually commit assassination, I really don't know what they were thinking. Do they even have a brain? And was it really necessary to go to such lengths?

Without a doubt, this was unacceptable to Chiyo.

Seeing this, Ebizo knew it was his turn to say something; he couldn't let his sister face this alone. But he didn't know how to say it…

Um, what should I say? Here comes another question.

"Ye Cang, we know you've been wronged, but this matter requires evidence, you know that?"

evidence!

Without evidence, anything goes.

You need evidence before you can make an accusation.

Without evidence, how can you accuse Fengying of sending someone to assassinate you? Honestly, that's just not convincing and hard to believe, you know?

It's not that I don't believe it, but that I can't convince people, and that's the simplest reason.

"Hmph, evidence, you want evidence, huh? No problem, I can give you this." Ye Cang then took out a scroll, where the corpses were kept.

Getting evidence is so easy!

Although they are all mummified, their features are still clear, so don't say this isn't evidence.

Yekura was well-prepared, while Chiyo and Ebizo fell silent upon seeing the corpses unleashed from the scroll—a series of mummified bodies, coupled with the uniforms of the Anbu…

Okay, they've become blatant about it.

The three squads, each led by Yero, an elite ANBU jonin, made no attempt to conceal their true intentions; their sole purpose was to kill Pakura…

Clearly, they didn't even change their clothes because they believed they could complete the mission. They didn't even bother to disguise themselves, because they were convinced that Yekura was doomed.

I never expected that she wouldn't die, but instead would be killed.

"Ye Cang, you can kill three ANBU squads?" Ebizo looked at the corpses and knew it was Ye Cang's Scorching Release, but the question is, can you fight thirteen elite ANBU members all by yourself?

"is it hard?"

Ye Cang sneered.

“Of course it’s difficult, it’s not easy to do.” Chiyo looked at Yekura and suddenly smiled meaningfully, remaining skeptical.

My suspicions about you have never disappeared.

While it seems logical at first glance that Luo Sha sent a team of secret agents to assassinate you, we can't just take your side of the story at face value...

I'm sorry, it's not that I don't believe it, it's just that we can't be without doubts.

"I did it," Yecang said calmly.

Others may not be able to, but I can.

If you don't have some skills, how can you gain recognition?

After all, the elders recommended me as the Wind Shadow, which means that my abilities have been recognized. And I have always been confident, especially in myself.

I am confident, so please stop questioning me.

There's no point in questioning me; that's all I have to say.

Chiyo: “…”

That certainly shows confidence.

Honestly, he's overconfident.

But is it wrong for people to be confident?

It's not that it's wrong, it's just okay.

"Alright, tell me about the day you attacked. Isn't it a bit late for you to get back?" Chiyo changed her approach and questioned him.

Ye Cang had an explanation and immediately replied, "There was no other way. Killing them wouldn't be good for me either. Besides, I wasn't sure about the situation, so I was being careful and only came back after gathering information."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Chiyo realized something and immediately asked, "Does that mean you know..."

"No, I only came back to make sure that Fengying wasn't in the village. I also came back to see you. I believed you could get justice for me. But I didn't expect to get this news as soon as I got back. I didn't want to say these things. Death is the greatest thing. Since he's already dead, there's no point in saying anything. But since you insist on asking, I can only say this."

Yecang vehemently denied it, and even gave other reasons. Anyway, he didn't know anything, and he only came back to seek justice from you and clear his name. He just didn't expect that Luosha would die, so he didn't plan to bring it up.

However, since you insist on asking, I have no choice but to tell you: what can I do?

Sigh, I have to say, I had no choice. Who can I blame?

All I can say is that it's all for the good of the village, nothing more.

Yekura's words put Chiyo in a very passive position. She increasingly felt that there was more to the story than met the eye. Everything seemed reasonable, yet it also appeared to be a coincidence.

480 Therefore, for Chiyo, the number of questions only increased.

However, if we continue to ask now, we probably won't get an answer, so we should return to the matter of the Kazekage's death.

"Who do you think killed Kazekage?" Chiyo asked, waiting to see what answer Yekura would give. Who do you think killed Rasa?

"I don't know. He died in the North, and now he's dividing up land in the Land of Birds with Iwagakure and they're cooperating on some secret base. Who knows if there's some kind of conflict of interest..."

Yekura said she didn't know, but she did have some suspects. He died in the North, right? And where is this place? It's near Iwagakure, isn't that a possibility?

Although I'm just guessing, it's not impossible, right?

"You mean it was Iwagakure that did it?"

Chiyo asked directly, without beating around the bush.

"No, that's not what I meant. I just mentioned the suspects. Just like you said, Advisor Chiyo, if I'm a suspect, then Iwagakure is too."

Ye Cang shrugged, spread his hands, and then gave his answer.

I can't be the only suspect; there are many others who could be suspects, including Iwagakure. Since they've come to suspect me, they can't ignore the existence of Iwagakure.

Only in this way can it be called fair; otherwise, if you doubt only me, what kind of fairness is that?

Chapter 304 Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask

Is there a problem with Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village)?

Yes, there definitely is, but Chiyo thinks the possibility is low. As for who it is, it's hard to say for now; we can only say we suspect it.

Iwagakure is a possibility, and Yekura is also a suspect.

However, at present, Iwagakure is the most likely suspect.

After all, he died in the Northern Territory, which is close to Iwagakure. Both sides have established secret bases in the Land of Birds and have troops stationed there. Considering Rasa's pattern of going to the Northern Territory every ten days, it is possible that he was ambushed and assassinated.

Iwagakure was well aware of this and knew Rasa's activity patterns very well. Even if he acted secretly, it could not be ruled out that Iwagakure was keeping an eye on him.

However, without evidence, it becomes very difficult.

Simply having doubts is not enough.

Evidence is essential; that's the key.

What's the use without evidence?

Evidence is key!

"Besides this, is there anything else?"

"For example, Konoha, do you think it would be Konoha?"

Chiyo didn't continue discussing the issue of Iwagakure, but instead mentioned Konoha.

As soon as Konoha appeared, Yekura knew what was going on. Clearly, suspicion had arisen within the organization regarding Konoha. Compared to other suspects, Konoha was the prime suspect, and many within the organization even believed that Konoha was behind it. And that was certainly true...

Of course, that's what they say, but Yecang knew in his heart that he couldn't think that way. It was better to throw the blame on Iwagakure.

"I don't know if it was Konoha, but Konoha is definitely a suspect, and not just Konoha, I think other ninja villages could be involved..."

Chiyo was quite surprised by Yekura's words. She had to confirm what Yekura said, so she specifically asked, "Including Kumogakure and Kirigakure?"

Yes, that includes it.

Yekura gave an affirmative answer.

If you ask me if this includes them, my answer is yes, it does. It includes Kirigakure and Kumogakure; they are equally implicated and suspects.
