NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2: 2
You bastard murderer, I will definitely bring you to justice!
Daisuke Akimi wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at Tono Kanade with a loving look in his eyes.
Seeing that Akimi Daisuke was conquered by his acting skills, Higashino Kanade said that he had not been a ninja for so many years in vain. I was almost moved by myself. The world owes me an Oscar!
"We, the police, have counted the inheritance left by your parents. In addition to a house and a car, the various assets converted into cash, minus various taxes, amount to 75 million yen. You don't have many relatives, so as the first heir, you can inherit all the property."
Seventy-five million yen, which is equivalent to five million RMB.
My parents left me a considerable fortune!
Higashino Kanade felt a little emotional. Although the prices in Japan were high, 75 million yen was enough for him to finish college and live a life of ease and comfort for a while.
But it is obviously impossible to use this money to live a life of idleness and waiting for death.

Section 3. Adopted, non-existent
"I have an important matter to discuss with you. You are only twelve years old this year and you don't have the ability to live independently. It will be difficult for you to live without a guardian in the future. I would like to ask for your opinion here."
Akimi Daisuke took out a photo from his arms and handed it over. Higashino Kanade took it and looked at it. The photo showed a happy-looking family of four, a couple and a pair of siblings.
Higashino Kanade's heart tightened. He felt that the brother and sister in the photo looked somewhat familiar, but he just couldn't remember their names.
"The government will find a new family for a child like you who lost both parents unexpectedly. This is also my own decision. What do you think of this family?"
Daisuke Akimi's face turned red. Higashino Kanade was so handsome and sensible, and he inherited a considerable fortune. He was simply the perfect candidate for a son.
In line with the principle of keeping things within the family, Daisuke Akimi decided to introduce him to his brother's family.
He had discussed it with his brother's family before he came. His brother's family said that it didn't matter whether there was an inheritance or not, the main thing was that the child was cute and they would be happy to have another son, literally.
"My brother's family name is Kurogiri. His son is Kurogiri Kan'ye, who is a few years older than you. His daughter is Kurogiri Hana, who is about the same age as you..."
Daisuke Akimi began to describe to Kanade Higashino how good the Kurogiri family was and how happy he would be to become the adopted son of the Kurogiri family.
On the surface, Higashino Kanade was listening patiently and even had a longing look on his face, but in fact, it was as if an earthquake had occurred in his heart, and he didn't know where to start complaining.
Kurogiri Mikiya…Kurogi Mikiya…
Now I remember, he is the protagonist of "Kara no Kyoukai", the future husband of Ryougi Shiki, and the one who successfully entered and exited the Root.
There is no doubt that Kurodori Kan'ya and Higashino Kanade are rivals in love, because Ryougi Shiki is also within Higashino Kanade's pursuit range.
Higashino Kanade recalled the identity of the man in front of him. Akimi Daisuke seemed to be the uncle of Kuroto Mikiya. He worked in the police station and was interested in Aozaki Touko.
Being invited to join my rival's family is such a wonderful misunderstanding!
"What a coincidence! No, no, I must not join the Kurotoshi family." Higashino Kanade made up his mind.
As for why Higashino Kanade pursued Ryougi Shiki, it was a decision he made after careful consideration.
In the Naruto world, Higashino Kanade lived for only twenty years from birth to death. In this short life, he realized one truth - human abilities have limits!
No matter how hard ordinary people work, there will always be a genius who can achieve in a very short time what you would need a long time to accomplish, and easily surpass it.
It feels like your efforts are being pinned to the ground and rubbed repeatedly by eight or ten rough men.
As for the practice of Rasengan, it only took Naruto less than a month, while it took Tono Kanade a whole year!
Naruto and Sasuke had the strength of the Six Paths Sage before they were twenty years old, while Tono Kanade was still an ordinary jonin at the age of twenty.
The moment Higashino Kanade was crushed to death by Uchiha Madara, he understood that those who work hard cannot beat those who rely on their fathers, and those who rely on their fathers cannot beat those who cheat.
As an ordinary person, what qualifications does he have to participate in the civil war of the Otsutsuki clan? Ordinary people should just be content to be supporting roles and stop dreaming!
After reincarnation, Higashino Kanade felt relieved and let it go.
He doesn't want to live such a tiring life. He doesn't want to be a background board to prove genius. He wants others to be the protagonist. He just wants to hold the thigh of a beautiful, rich and white woman and live a stable life.
Simply put, Higashino Kanade doesn't want to work hard anymore.
Now, he just wants to find a beautiful, rich and white woman and become a live-in son-in-law.
Of course, in the Type-Moon world full of dangers, ordinary white, rich and beautiful women obviously cannot satisfy Tono Kanade's desire to live a peaceful life. Only super white, rich and beautiful women like Ryougi Shiki, Elquet, and Illya can satisfy him.
Take Ryougi Shiki for example. Once he becomes the son-in-law of the Ryougi family, he will surely have a life of luxury, and his wife will be beautiful and capable. If any short-sighted Dead Apostle, Magician, Heroic Spirit, Goetia or the like comes to his door, he can just throw Ryougi Shiki out and just cheer him on from behind.
For the sake of a better life in the future, I apologize to Kuroto Kirei. I will definitely eat Ryougi Shiki's gigolo!
As for a man's dignity and face and the like, Higashino Kanade just wants to say sorry. The doctor said that I have a bad stomach and can only live off women for the rest of my life. Face and the like cannot be eaten as a meal. It's not good for a man to live off women!
"…How about it? What's your choice?"
Akimi Daisuke said a lot and looked at Higashino Kanade with full of expectations.
"Mr. Officer, your suggestion is really good. I believe the Kurogiri family must be as good as you said."
Higashino Kanade first gratefully affirmed Akimi Daisuke, then took a deep breath and said with a firm face: "But I refuse!"
"???"
Daisuke Akimi was stunned. He never expected that Higashino Kanade would answer him like this. This rejection was too decisive.
Higashino Kanade squeezed out a few tears. His childish handsome appearance coupled with his sad expression was very moving. Looking at the charming and beautiful boy in front of him, Akimi Daisuke couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, without a trace of blame in his heart.
"My parents passed away just a few days ago, and I haven't even been able to provide for them properly before they found a new family. I really feel so sorry for the kindness of my parents in raising me."
"I know that Mr. Officer is doing this for my own good, but I really am not in the mood to adapt to a new family right now. I want to live alone for a while, take good care of my parents, and then make plans in the future. I hope Mr. Officer will understand me."
Higashino Kanade's acting skills are very good and his voice is very moving. Akimi Daisuke did not doubt the boy in front of him at all. Instead, he thought to himself: What a good child!
Seeing that Higashino Kanade was determined and the reasons he gave were impeccable, Akimi Daisuke had no intention of forcing him and just patted him on the shoulder.
"I understand. I was impulsive. This is my business card. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time. The family promise you made is also valid at any time. You should have a good rest."
After saying this, Daisuke Akimi stood up and was about to leave. He didn't want to waste any more time persuading the police, as they were also very busy.
"etc!"
Higashino Kanade stretched out her fair little hand and pinched a corner of his clothes, and asked pleadingly, "Can you tell me the information of the criminal who killed my parents? Please!"
Daisuke Akimi was very surprised to hear such words from a twelve-year-old child. As a victim, he was not frightened by the terrible murderer. Instead, he wanted to get information about the murderer.
Is this kid seeking revenge for his parents, or is he simply curious?
No matter which guess it was, Akimi Daisuke didn't want to tell Higashino Kanade the answer, because he didn't want a child to live in the shadow of revenge all his life.
"Well... I have no comment. Just take a good rest. As for the criminal, we police will help you catch him."
Daisuke Akimi ruffled Tono Kanade's hair and assured her with a smile on his face.
Pat the head to kill? Pat your sister!
Dongye Zou felt very unhappy when he was touched on the head by a rough man. After all, he was almost fifty years old in his two lives and was not a child.
Since you won't tell me, let me use ninja methods to get the answer I want.
While Akimi Daisuke was indulging in the pleasure of patting his head, Higashino Kanade quickly formed several seals.
Illusion: The art of Nirvana!
An inconspicuous feather fell on Daisuke Akimi's body. Daisuke Akimi felt an unprecedented sleepiness and sat on the stool uncontrollably in a half-asleep and half-wakeful state.
PS: I wasted some time on the review yesterday. From tomorrow on, the novel will be updated at 8 am every day, three chapters a day, and 2000+ each time. Seeing how hard I work as a newbie, it shouldn't be too much to ask for some votes.
Section 4. 4. The cheat that came 20 years late
Illusion: Nirvana's Pure Land Technique, an illusion that can put the victim into a deep sleep. This technique appeared when Orochimaru invaded Konoha.
However, making the victim fall asleep is only the basic use of this technique. Konoha Anbu often uses this technique during torture, because when a person is asleep, their consciousness is the weakest and they are the most defenseless.
Higashino Kanade has no talent for illusion. He is best at fire-style ninjutsu, but this most basic illusion can be learned as long as one is willing to work hard.
"Huh - I've used up the chakra I worked so hard to refine. I hope you can give me some valuable information."
Higashino Kanade wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to extract information from Akimi Daisuke.
It has been no more than ten hours since Tono Kanade woke up. Logically speaking, the amount of chakra he has extracted is not enough for him to maintain the illusion for a long time.
But what surprised Higashino Kanade was that the aptitude of this new body was much better than his original body. When he was studying in the Ninja School, Higashino Kanade spent half a year to refine chakra, and the amount of chakra was pitifully small, so he had to calculate carefully every time he fought, and he would never use ninjutsu if the enemy could be defeated by physical skills.
This new body extracted chakra in almost no time, and the amount extracted in a few hours was more than what Tono Kanade could extract in a whole day if he concentrated. A big part of the reason for this was that Tono Kanade was originally a senior ninja, and extracting chakra was as skilled for him as eating and drinking, but it is undeniable that the qualifications of this body are much better than the original one.
Higashino Kanade doesn't know whether his current qualifications can be compared with Naruto and Sasuke, but he should be stronger than ordinary ninjas. For example, if Higashino Kanade used to walk on his feet, now he rides a bicycle.
Ten minutes later, Higashino Kanade had obtained all the information that Akimi Daisuke knew. After asking Akimi Daisuke to leave the contact number of the Kurogiri family, Higashino Kanade snapped his fingers and Akimi Daisuke woke up.
"Ah, what happened? I seem to have fallen asleep."
Daisuke Akimi rubbed his sleepy face, looking a little confused.
"Officer, you just took a nap. I saw that you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't wake you up. I guess you must be very tired from work recently." Dongye Kanade put on a child's innocent face and asked with concern.
"Oh, yes, I was a little sleepy just now. It seems that I have been too busy working overtime lately. It's all because of the murderer."
Akimi Daisuke complained and subconsciously accepted the fact that he was drowsy due to excessive fatigue. After all, he was just an ordinary person and this was the result he could most believe.
After instructing Higashino Kanade to have a good rest, Daisuke Akimi left in a hurry, leaving Higashino Kanade the only one left in the huge private ward.
Higashino Kanade recalled the information about the murderer provided by Akimi Daisuke in his mind, and tried hard to find the relevant people in his memory, but after recalling for a long time, Higashino Kanade still couldn't remember who the murderer was.
"Alas, I have almost forgotten the plot. I guess the murderer is just an insignificant extra."
Higashino Kanade sighed softly. His professional habit as a ninja did not make him relax his vigilance against the "extras" he could not remember.
This world is not a world for ordinary people. Magicians, Dead Apostles, and Heroic Spirits, no matter which one, the current Tono Kanade cannot afford to offend any of them. The murderer who emerged in Guanbuzi City may be a minor role in the anime plot, but he will never be an ordinary person in the real world.
In other words, the current Higashino Kanade is most likely no match for the murderer.
It is Tono Kanade's principle to repay a favor, but compared to repaying a favor, Tono Kanade is very afraid of death. Tono Kanade does not want to experience the pain and despair of being crushed to death by Madara-sama for a second time.
"Let's investigate the identity of the murderer first. If he's just an ordinary person, kill him directly for revenge. If he's a powerful character who can't be defeated, wait until I can eat the free rice of Sister Shiki or train to the level of a jonin before taking revenge."
