Maples, Tsunade, and the others played until three o 'clock in the morning.
At the Mahjong table, Maple Night won four out of the six and a half tiles. He was ranked first for the fourth time. On the other side of the table, Little South had the highest score.
It's worth mentioning that when Konan came, Kakashi was ranked third. After that, Konan replaced Kakashi. She didn't learn much, but she played better than Kakashi. She won all the way and won first place.
Kyuubi's last two paws held his cheeks, and both sides of his cheeks were bulging.
The next day.
Maples woke up on the sofa and rubbed his eyes.
Konan went back after the game. Tsunade and Shizune stayed at Maples' house. Shizune and Rin both learned medical skills from Tsunade. The two had a good relationship. They slept in Maples' room, and Anko slept in Kurenai's room.
Tsunade slept in Kakashi's empty room after he moved out.
Although there were other bedrooms, there were no beds. Of course, this wasn't the reason why Maples slept on the sofa. Kurenai, Rin, and Shizune didn't mind sleeping in the same room as Maples, but they did mind others sleeping in the same room as Maples.
Just as Maples sat up on the sofa and yawned, Kurenai's room was pushed open. Kurenai, wearing loose white pajamas, walked out with sleepy eyes. Under the unfastened pajamas was the body of a sixteen-year-old girl.
She carefully closed the door, then noticed Maples sitting on the sofa. She suddenly raised a finger at Maples and made a 'shh' gesture.
"Shh …"
"Anko is still sleeping."
Kurenai whispered to Maples, then said, "Do you want to eat something? I'll prepare breakfast. "
Maples looked at her sleepy appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "You should go to sleep. I'll prepare some breakfast myself. I have to deal with something soon."
Kurenai said with concern, "You've only slept for less than four hours. You can just use your Shadow Clone. Anyway, Shikaku will take care of things."
"No, there's a small problem. I have to go there with my main body."
Maples stood up and smiled at Sunset Red. He reached out and tidied up her messy hair. This action immediately made Sunset Red's cheeks blush a little, and she lowered her head slightly.
It was also this action of lowering her head that made her realize that her pajamas were not properly fastened. Her small face immediately became a little redder, but she only tightened her pajamas a little and said:
"Then you should rest well …"
"Alright."
Maples smiled and walked towards the kitchen.
…
9 AM.
Hyuga Clan.
A large number of people gathered here, making the relatively spacious courtyard extremely crowded. At least a few dozen people could be seen squeezing in the courtyard.
There were also a large number of ninjas standing on the walls and roofs outside.
Some of them were wearing the uniform of the Konoha Guard, and some of them were from the Uchiha Clan. Some of them were wearing the trench coats of the Shadow Guards, with the letters' Two 'and' Seven 'on the back. They were the members of the Second Division and the Seventh Division who were usually in charge of internal security of Konoha.
Other than that.
There were also some Jonins of Konoha led by Shikaku Nara.
In the center of the courtyard, two groups of people were confronting each other. One of them was the Hyuga Clan led by Hiashi, and the other was the Cloud Ninjas who came to conclude the contract.
On the ground between the two sides, there was a corpse lying on the ground. The corpse was the leader of the Cloud Ninjas.
"You're worthy of being one of the big clans of Konoha. You killed our Captain, and not only are you not willing to take responsibility, but you also slandered our Captain … Yesterday, only you didn't come to the celebration. It seems that the entire Konoha is under your control."
The leader of the Cloud Ninjas stared at Hiashi and sneered.
Hiashi frowned and said in a deep voice: "I have already said, it was your people who sneaked in at night and tried to kidnap my daughter Hinata. I couldn't hold back in the dark …"
Last night, someone sneaked in and tried to kidnap Hinata. Naturally, Hiashi treated them as an enemy. He didn't have any carelessness and went straight for their vital points.
But he didn't expect that when facing his attack, the other party suddenly stiffened in place and didn't dodge, and his neck was broken by a karate chop.
When he found out that the other party was the leader of the Cloud Ninjas, Hiashi was suddenly shocked, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He even felt that someone was deliberately targeting the Hyuga Clan because the other party's sudden stiffening at the last moment didn't seem like a normal state of behavior.
"… And as I said, your Captain seems to be under someone's control. It's not entirely my responsibility. Maybe someone deliberately framed me."
"Nonsense!"
The Cloud Ninjas glared at Hiashi.
They didn't know whether it was deliberately framed or not. Even Hiashi's words made them feel that there might be a problem, but this kind of thing can only be done by the Hyuga Clan.
If the relationship between Konoha and the Hyuga Clan is not good, maybe they can force the Hyuga Clan to hand over their people and take the opportunity to get the Byakugan Kekkei Genkai.
"What I said is true."
Hiashi said in a deep voice, and then turned to look at Shikaku Nara next to him.
Shikaku Nara's face was slightly sullen, and he didn't show much emotion, but he basically inferred the cause, process, and truth of the matter.
There is no doubt that Hiashi wouldn't kill the leader of the Cloud Ninjas, so it's inevitable that the leader of the Cloud Ninjas sneaked into the Hyuga Clan's territory at night.
And the cause of death that Hiashi said doesn't seem to be fake, at least on the surface. Hiashi was a little annoyed, and he felt that he was framed.
But no matter what.
Now the leader of the Cloud Ninjas died in the hands of the Hyuga Clan.
This matter can be big or small, but the specific decision is not made by him, nor Hiashi, nor the Cloud Ninjas, but by Konoha's Fifth Hokage.
"Shikaku sama … Are you going to let the Hyuga Clan step on your head? They didn't even participate in the celebration, ignoring the rare peace between us! "
The Cloud Ninjas also looked at Shikaku Nara next to him.
Shikaku said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, first figure out the cause of your leader's death, don't jump to conclusions, and I have already informed the Hokage about this matter."
Shikaku knew what he should do, and that was to delay until Maples came.
This was not something that he could decide based on his own opinion.
Shikaku squatted down and looked at Hinata, who was timidly hiding behind Hiashi, with her fingers clutching the corner of Hiashi's clothes, and said with a gentle smile, "Hinata, do you still remember what happened last night?"
"…"
Hinata shook her head timidly.
Shikaku stood up and looked at the Ninja who was dealing with the body of the Cloud Ninja, and said, "How is it, haven't you determined the specific cause of death?"
The Ninja who was dealing with the body had already determined the cause of death, but because of the importance of this matter, he was worried that something might go wrong, so he confirmed it several times in a row, not letting go of any details.
At this time, when he heard Shikaku's question, he stood up and said in a deep voice, "If there is no problem, the cause of death should be a broken neck and ruptured arteries …"
This basically determined that the cause of death was Hiashi's Gentle Fist.
