Chapter 162: The Stubborn Raccoon and Uchiha Fugaku
Putting on the ANBU's white fox mask, Li Jiexuan happily sat down in his captain's office. But what he never expected was that the moment he returned to ANBU, the raccoon ANBU in charge of investigating cases within Konoha immediately came looking for him…
"Captain, you're finally back!"
The raccoon ANBU grabbed Li Jiexuan and said with bloodshot eyes, "I've investigated the entire Konoha Village. Aside from you, Captain, there isn't a single ninja with a body small enough to crawl into that suitcase!"
This guy really does have perseverance…
Faced with the raccoon ANBU's almost accusatory report, Li Jiexuan couldn't help rubbing his forehead. He had never imagined that killing He tian would cause such trouble.
If he killed the raccoon squad leader without reason, it would be no different from betraying Konoha. But if he removed a squad leader from his position without cause, it would practically be admitting that he himself was the criminal…
This really was troublesome!
Li Jiexuan stared helplessly at the raccoon ANBU. As the saying goes: you're not afraid of a thief stealing, but you're afraid of a thief constantly thinking about it. The raccoon squad leader had clearly set his sights on him!
For a moment, killing intent arose in Li Jiexuan's heart. He even had the urge to simply kill the raccoon ANBU first and deal with the consequences later.
But sensing Li Jiexuan's killing intent, the raccoon ANBU showed no fear. Instead, he displayed an uncontrollable excitement.
He understood that if Li Jiexuan killed him—
It would prove that his deduction was correct, and that Li Jiexuan was the real murderer!
Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, a cute panda suddenly jumped out, grabbed the raccoon ANBU by the ear, and sneered.
"You idiot, why are you here bothering the captain again?"
"But I've already investigated all the ninjas in Konoha. Aside from the captain, no one else could fit inside the box," the raccoon ANBU insisted stubbornly.
The panda ANBU was practically about to cough up blood from anger.
"You idiot! Couldn't it have been someone from another ninja village sneaking in to commit the crime?"
"You saying that…"
The raccoon ANBU muttered to himself and fell into deep thought. After a while, he came to a conclusion.
"That's not impossible!"
"Well then why the hell are you still standing here? Go investigate!"
The panda ANBU, who was responsible for intelligence, kicked the raccoon ANBU in the backside and sent him flying out of the room…
Li Jiexuan watched the whole scene coldly without saying a word. He knew very well that as long as the raccoon ANBU didn't die, he would never give up on this matter.
There were always people like that in this world—fools who would even risk their own lives just to prove they were right!
Seemingly noticing Li Jiexuan's thoughts, the panda ANBU hurriedly apologized in a low voice.
"Please, sir, be magnanimous and spare that idiot raccoon."
"Spare him? I'm afraid he won't spare me!"
Thinking back on it, Li Jiexuan felt a bit of lingering fear. If he had killed the raccoon just now, aside from defecting from Konoha, he might not have had a second path left.
"Captain, don't worry. I'll definitely keep an eye on him!"
The panda ANBU secretly resolved that from now on, whenever Li Jiexuan returned to ANBU, he would tie that raccoon up with a big iron chain.
Li Jiexuan nodded, letting the matter pass.
"Any important intelligence in ANBU recently? Tell me about it."
Seeing Li Jiexuan return to work matters, the panda ANBU finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"There's nothing big happening outside the village recently, but there is a piece of good news inside the village!"
"Good news?"
Li Jiexuan raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Did that old man Senju Tobirama take a concubine?"
"Cough, cough, cough…"
The panda ANBU coughed repeatedly. In all of Konoha, the only person who would dare to mock Senju Tobirama like that—even in front of ANBU—was probably the young master standing in front of him.
"Then what's the good news?"
"The young master of the Uchiha clan has been born!"
After calming himself, the panda ANBU smiled.
"I heard the child's name is Uchiha Fugaku. The moment he was born, he already displayed extraordinary ninja talent!"
