Chapter 368: Long Hair, Short Insight, Ruining My Great Plan
When Yako returned to the Crane Moon Izakaya, he found that New Year's paper cutouts had already been put up around the room.
The New Year was fast approaching; next year would be Konoha Year 42.
After spending some time with Kyoi and the child, Yako waited until they were both asleep before heading to the front of the izakaya.
Even someone as ruthless as Danzo allowed Nonou Yakushi to return to the village for a month or two every year to take care of the Orphanage.
But ever since the spy network was handed over to Gibbon, Nonou Yakushi had not returned to the village once.
They said a newly appointed official always lit a few fires to show their authority, but Gibbon was taking it too far—his were still burning.
Yako opened the Right Scroll and asked where Nonou Yakushi was.
Nonou Yakushi quickly replied that she was in the Land of Rivers Capital, investigating the details of Homura Mitokado's death for the Anbu.
What was there to investigate? Yako was the one who killed him. With a few hints from him, Nonou Yakushi would have more than enough to close her case.
