The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Souji once again gave a reason to prioritize the exclusion of Madoka Miki.

She saved the daimyo, but the succession rights were so far behind her, it didn't make sense that she would be the one to blame her father.

Shot.

After listening to his father and Cang Si's analysis, Kakashi nodded, took out a pen, and put a cross under the photo of Yuanchi Meiji.

"So, what about the remaining three people?" Kakashi is better at investigation and analysis, and Hatake Sakumo and Soji are undoubtedly more professional.

It’s not that Kakashi’s analytical ability is bad, but compared to Aoi and Hatake Sakumo, he is still a step behind.

The main reason is that Kakashi is still young, and in terms of experience, he has more advantages than older people.

"The suspicions of the remaining three people cannot be ruled out, but I think His Highness Yuan Ichilin is the least suspicious among them!" Hatake Sakumo said again after thinking for a while.

"Father, why is this?" Kakashi asked in surprise.

In his opinion, he actually felt that the daimyo's eldest son Yuan Ichilin was the most suspicious, because once something happened to the daimyo, his inheritance rights would definitely be ranked first!

So, if something happens to Daimyo, Yuan Ichilin will definitely get the greatest benefit!

“Let me explain this point. Senior Sakumo probably thinks that as the eldest son, there is no need for Yuan Ichilin to attack his own father.

Because he has the highest right of inheritance, as long as he does not make any serious mistakes, no one can compete with him for the position of daimyo after he abdicates in the future.

Therefore, since he has such good innate conditions, why should he take risks?

Regardless of whether he will be investigated in the end, this is a thankless task.

It’s easy for something unexpected to happen!”

In response to Souji's explanation, Hatake Sakumo smiled and nodded.

It can be said that Cang Si's analysis was exactly what he had in mind.

"I see. But, Senior Cang Si, I still have a question. According to my father and your analysis, shouldn't Yuan Shilin be clear of suspicion?

Why do you think he is the least suspicious among the three people? "

Kakashi still hasn't figured this out.

Because after Cang Si's analysis just now, he had already ruled out Yuan Ichilin as a suspect in his mind.

"Hmm, Kakashi, I knew you would be confused. Indeed, all the evidence shows that Ichirin had no reason to murder his father.

But don’t forget, human hearts are the most unpredictable!

We have to think about it, is it possible that he couldn't stand his father staying on the throne for too long, so he wanted to take up that position ahead of time?

After hearing the title of "Your Highness" for a long time, maybe he would rather be called "Da Ming"?

In addition, there is another hypothesis, that is, the daimyo favors the second son, and Yuan Ichilin feels threatened, so it is not impossible that he wants to kill his father in advance. "

When it comes to human nature, Cang Si sees it most clearly, because such things cannot stand the test.

Obviously, Hatake Sakumo is also well aware of this truth, or it can be said that when he left Konoha, he realized that human hearts are unpredictable!

Kakashi, who is only in his early 20s, certainly doesn't know as much as Soji and Hatake Sakumo on this point because he has not experienced much.

However, just by listening to Cang Si's analysis, he felt a deep chill.

It was hard for Kakashi to imagine that someone would assassinate his own father for such a reason, but he had to admit that what Cang Si said made sense.

"I understand. What about the remaining Yuanshicheng and Yuanshifeng?" Kakashi, feeling that his brain was not enough, continued to ask for advice humbly.

Hearing Kakashi's question, Souji and Hatake Sakumo looked at each other, both shook their heads, and did not give any special analysis.

Because in their minds, the probability that these two people want to assassinate the Daimyo of the Fire Nation is the highest, and the two are in a tie relationship, with no order of priority!

Chapter 632: Classic Three-Choice Mode

“Kakashi, from the information you have investigated, as the second son of the daimyo, Enichijo has many supporters among all the nobles.

In terms of ability alone, he is even better than the daimyo's eldest son, Madoka Ichirin.

If he is dissatisfied with his elder brother's ability and unwilling to accept that he cannot inherit the throne of daimyo, there is a great possibility that he will assassinate the daimyo and frame Yuan Ichilin.

As long as he succeeds in taking advantage of the situation, he will have the possibility to catch up and become the new daimyo. "

Souji first talked about the information about the daimyo's second son, Yuan Ichijo.

Kakashi didn't say anything, just thought and waited for Souji's follow-up analysis on the last person.

“As for the daimyo’s younger brother, Kaede Madoka, the possibility that he would assassinate the daimyo is also very high, because even now, he holds great power in the Land of Fire.

Compared with the daimyo's two sons, he is simply the second in command of the country.

If he wants to go further, he could possibly assassinate the daimyo and stir up internal strife between the two brothers Yuan Shilin and Yuan Shicheng, so that he can take advantage of the situation and take the position of daimyo!"

After a brief pause, Cang Si also told Yuan Shifeng's possible motive for taking action.

It can be said that both the daimyo's two sons and his younger brother are highly suspected and the relationship between them is also very complicated.

To give an example, the daimyo is the emperor who is high above everyone else.

His eldest son Yuan Shilin, who was equivalent to the crown prince, had the first right of succession, but his ability was relatively mediocre and he could not convince his younger brother. He could only try to stay in office without making mistakes and inherit the throne in the future.

The second son, Yuan Shicheng, is equivalent to the second prince of the country. Although he does not have the first right of inheritance, he has a good reputation and many followers. His ability is even stronger than his eldest brother, the prince, so he has thoughts that he shouldn't have.

His younger brother Yuan Shifeng is equivalent to a high-ranking prince. His status has reached the top. With a brother, the emperor, suppressing him, it is normally impossible for him to make further progress.

However, if he could find a way to make his two nephews fight among themselves, so that both of them would be disliked by his brother the emperor, or if he could kill his brother the emperor himself and make his two nephews suspicious of each other, he would have a chance to ascend to the throne!

Therefore, if the suspects investigated by Kakashi are ranked, the order is Second Prince (Daimyo's second son, Madoka Ichijo) = Prince (Daimyo's younger brother, Madoka Kaede) > Crown Prince (Daimyo's eldest son, Madoka Ichirin).

After identifying these suspects who might have assassinated the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Souji also asked Hatake Sakumo whether the Daimyo had any conflicts with other people in the past six months.

Hatake Sakumo also answered very clearly, no!

"Cang Si, I know what you are thinking, do you think that the Daimyo may have offended others, so someone took the opportunity to kill the Daimyo?

You don't have to worry about this. Daming and I have been friends for decades, and I have been living in Daming City for the past decade.

I can tell you very clearly that the Daimyo is definitely a benevolent lord!"

Hatake Sakumo's tone of voice was quite serious.

It was precisely because of the daimyo's kindness that he was willing to protect the daimyo for more than a decade and never thought about returning to Konoha.

Otherwise, if the daimyo really did things without any bottom line and often offended people, given Hatake Sakumo's personality, he might tolerate it at first, but he would definitely not be able to stand it later.

Therefore, since the daimyo could receive a "kind" evaluation from Hatake Sakumo, he was definitely not a bad person.

Hearing what Hatake Sakumo said, Souji smiled awkwardly. ..

“Well, if that’s the case, then we should be able to confirm it, whether it’s these coincidental incidents that happened around the daimyo, or the information I received that someone was trying to assassinate the daimyo.

The mastermind behind this is among these three people who are closely related to the daimyo!"

After receiving Hatake Sakumo's assurance, Cang Si also came to this conclusion.

Neither Hatake Sakumo nor Kakashi raised any objection to Souji's conclusion.

Because they really couldn't imagine what such a kind lord would do.

Others wanted his life.

"What's left is to choose one out of the three and find out who is the real mastermind!" Kakashi clenched his fists, and it was obvious that he was very motivated.

"Senior Sakumo, since we have determined that the target is among these three people, can we find an opportunity to question them?" At this moment, Cang Si wanted to use his Byakugan's mind-reading ability, plus a series of rhetoric, to contact this guy hiding in the dark.

It can be said that as long as Cang Si is given the opportunity to ask three people, he can lock on the target instantly.

But, unfortunately, in response to Souji's question, Hatake Sakumo shook his head.

“I’m sorry, Cang Si, although we have narrowed down our target to three people, their identities are still too special.

If we rashly find them and ask them without any evidence, it might cause unrest.

Especially now that the Daimyo has been ill for so many days, we cannot allow any more trouble to happen in Daimyo Castle."

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and rejected Souji's proposal.

Hearing what Hatake Sakumo said, Cang Si could only nod helplessly.

Come to think of it, the emperor is seriously ill, and if several of them go to ask the crown prince, the princes, and the princes, wouldn't it be easy to cause trouble?

This is equivalent to saying blatantly that the emperor is seriously ill and it is the fault of one of you.

In addition, Cang Si also reacted. Even if he used his Byakugan's mind-reading ability to identify who was behind the scenes, what could he do to the other party without evidence?

Doing so would only alert the enemy.

Only after finding evidence can you beat the other party to death in one breath!

Otherwise, look at the ancient times, which minister dared to interrogate the royal family without evidence?

The same applies to the current situation.

“Now that we have narrowed down our target to this group, Asuma and I will continue to conduct an in-depth investigation on them secretly.

Next time, if they make another move or reveal a flaw, we can take advantage of the opportunity to catch them red-handed!"

What Kakashi said is the best solution now.

"Well, Kakashi, you and Asuma should be careful and don't let the other party notice." Hatake Sakumo advised his son.

"Don't worry, father. I didn't spend all these years in the Anbu in vain!" After saying this, Kakashi left again.

Once again, Souji and Hatake Sakumo were the only ones left in the room.

"Senior Sakumo, it's almost time for you to take action. I have received intelligence that the attackers will arrive at Daimyo Castle in two days at most.

If possible, you'd better intercept the frontal attackers outside Daming City.

This will not only prevent people in Daimyo Castle from getting hurt, but will also allow the guy in the dark to relax his vigilance and reveal his flaws."

Souji suggested to Hatake Sakumo.

Just today, Souji received another letter from Shisui, in which he also said that he would enter Daimyo Castle with Orochimaru the day after tomorrow. This is one of the reasons.

Secondly, I still hope that Cang Si can join forces with him to kill Orochimaru together...

This made Cang Si feel helpless, and he didn't know how to respond.

In the end, Cang Si simply stopped replying.

"If we fight in the city, will ordinary people get hurt? Cangsi, do you know who will come to assassinate the daimyo head-on?" Hatake Sakumo pondered for a while and asked curiously.

To be honest, Hatake Sakumo is quite confident in his own strength!

Normally, even if a ninja below the level of Kage enters the Daimyo Castle, he is confident that he can end the battle quickly and will not affect ordinary people.

But from what Cang Si said this time, it was obvious that he would get into a fight with the opponent, which made Hatake Sakumo quite curious.

The only person who could get him into a fight with his opponent could be a powerful being above the Kage level!

"Senior Shuomao, allow me to keep you in suspense here for now, but what I can tell you is that one of the other parties is an old friend of yours!" Cang Si showed a mysterious smile.

The main one is Cang Si

It is certain that neither Orochimaru nor Shisui would really want to assassinate the daimyo, so it is actually not important whether he says who the person is.

Just think of this as Souji's bad taste, giving Hatake Sakumo a "surprise"!

"Cang Si, you revealed too much information. It seems that there are more than one person who is planning to assassinate the daimyo head-on.

Besides, speaking of my old friend, he is probably the only one who would come to assassinate the daimyo now."

Hatake Sakumo's mind was working quickly and he instantly thought of many things.

The number of people who came to assassinate the daimyo was greater than or equal to 2, and among them there was at least one Kage-level warrior who was acquainted with him.

After a process of elimination, Hatake Sakumo had already guessed in his heart that Orochimaru was one of the people who came to assassinate the daimyo!

Thinking of the younger generation with whom he once worked in the village, Hatake Sakumo felt very complicated.

Hatake Sakumo is only a few years older than the three ninjas, and has a good relationship with all of them, especially Orochimaru!

The main reason was that at that time, Orochimaru was still a good young man who was reliable in his work, so they had a very good personal relationship.

This can be seen from the fact that even though Hatake Sakumo was affected by rumors, Orochimaru was able to ignore the eyes of others and take the initiative to visit him.

However, as time passed, Hatake Sakumo still felt emotional when he thought about what happened again.

According to everything that Cangsi said, only Orochimaru meets all the characteristics.
