章節 87: 87 Killer
Konoha.
Hokage Office.
Minato sat on the Hokage seat as he processed the documents on the table in front.
Phew...
"It's finally done"
After placing the last document to the side Minato finally sighed in relief.
Since the day, he became Hokage, he has always been busy with little time for his family.
But today he finally managed to complete his work in time and was expecting to have dinner along with his family.
But the continuous rain outside and the gloomy atmosphere enveloping the village somewhat ruined his happy mood.
Knock...
At this moment the door of the room was knocked heavily.
"Come in"
Minato who was about to pack up and leave sat again on the Hokage seat with a serious expression on his face.
Nara Shikaku with a face full of worry entered the room as arrived near Minato.
"Welcome, Shikaku"
Minato said while looking towards him.
"It's not good, Lord Fourth, the psychic beast of lady Tsunade just delivered terrible news"
The breathing of Shikaku was a bit uneven clearly explaining that he ran straight to the Hokage Office after learning the news.
"What happened, Shikaku?"
The expression on the face of Minato turned serious as he looked towards Shikaku for an answer.
There has been a bad premonition in his heart since the morning and he hoped that it was wrong.
But seeing the worried face of Shikaku he knew that his premonition was about to become true.
Shikaku quickly narrated the whole matter to Minato whose facial expressions kept changing and finally terrifying killing aura broke out enveloping the whole room.
"Who is it, who dared to do this?"
Even the calm and sunny Minato couldn't control himself after learning the news of the death of Kozuki and others.
Kozuki was someone whom he owed too much.
Not only did Kozuki save his life, but he was also the main reason why his family was still together.
Hearing the news of his death, he felt immense sadness in his heart and the sadness turned into anger causing him to roar just now.
He couldn't wait to find the killer and kill him with his own hands.
"We need to investigate before we can find out who did it"
Shikaku has only just received the news so how could he Know about the killer.
"Where are they?"
Minato calmed himself as he asked the most important question.
"Near the border"
Shikaku quickly reported the location to Minato.
"Gather the Anbu, we have no time to waste"
Minato immediately ordered Shikaku to prepare to leave as he was going himself to the battlefield.
_____________
Minato along with the Anbu quickly left the village.
With them moving at their fastest speed, it only took them half a day before they reached their destination.
Minato and others also saw the devastated area but they had no time to waste on this as they quickly looked around searching for Tsunade.
Soon, they found Tsunade sitting on the ground with Kurenai and Shizune amid the corpses of Sarutobi and Kozuki.
Kurenai and Shizune also had woken up but their eyes were red as they sat near the corpse of Kozuki tears falling continuously.
Minato along with Shikaku quickly arrived beside them as their gaze also fell on the lifeless body.
A sad expression appeared on the face of Minato as he squatted down and took a look at them.
"Is this your end?"
Thought Minato looking at the corpse of Kozuki.
He still remembered that just a few days ago they were eating and drinking together but now all that is left is just a memory.
"Lord Fourth, we have found the identity of the killer"
At this time, Shikaku arrived near Minato, telling the news.
Whether it was Tsunade, Kurenai Shizune, or Minato all of them suddenly looked up their eyes full of anger.
"Who is it?"
Kurenai asked as her voice was filled with grief, anger, and pain.
"Please, Follow Me"
Shikaku moved in a direction as they all stood up and followed him.
Arriving near a big boulder, Shikaku stepped aside as Kurenai and others saw words engraved on the boulder.
"I hope Konoha can bear this shock
(Akagami Shanks)"
The eyes of Kurenai and others were fixed on the words engraved on the boulder as killing intent broke out.
Boom...
Kurenai immediately destroyed the big boulder reducing it to small pebbles with just a punch.
"Akagami Shanks, one day I will avenge Kozuki and kill you with my own hands"
Kurenai had infinite anger in her eyes and her fists were covered with blood but she didn't care about it.
The anger blinded the eyes of everyone present as they failed to see the concern hidden in the words.
Minato quickly ordered the Anbu around to investigate the area as he teleported everyone else back to the village along with the corpses of Kozuki and others.
