Chapter 74 Killing Intention!
The clouds were overcast, and the drizzle fell like dense threads onto the streets of Kirigakure Village, soaking the road surface.
Kakashi walked into the street and observed this mysterious village up close for the first time.
The streets in front of you are shrouded in mist, giving the village a hazy and ethereal feel.
At a glance, wherever he looked, there were only a few clearly visible buildings.
Due to the perennial fog, the air is humid.
The exterior walls of the houses here are covered with thick moss.
Compared to the warm and livable nature of Konoha and the fiery style of Sand Ninja Village, the architectural style of Kirigakure Village appears to be more gloomy.
Kakashi looked around carefully.
He found that there were very few pedestrians on the road.
Everyone was walking in a hurry, and it was almost impossible to see civilians stopping to chat on the street.
"Shun, follow me."
Kakashi pondered for a moment, then based on his perception of the Flying Thunder God's mark, he walked directly in the direction of Lin.
Out of caution, he also frowned, showing a solemn expression.
Allow yourself to completely integrate into this extremely depressing environment.
About two hours later, at the end of the other side of the village.
A building located in the middle of a lake, hidden in the mist, caught Kakashi's eyes.
The eerie building loomed in the mist, like a ghost.
Kakashi sniffed and could smell a faint smell of blood.
This feeling, combined with the white and cold building, is like a death hospital in a horror movie.
And Lin was actually imprisoned in a place like this...
Thinking of Lin's situation, Kakashi felt a senseless rage in his heart.
If there is really something wrong with Lin, I will let you and the entire senior management of Kirigakure Village be buried with you!
"Shun, the target position is ahead. Stay vigilant and be ready for battle at any time."
Kakashi instructed Shisui behind him.
"I understand, Mr. Pufferfish Ghost."
Zhisui nodded slightly, and he didn't ask any more questions.
With his delicate emotions, he was keenly aware that Kakashi-senpai's words were full of murderous intent.
Soon, chakra condensed under their feet, and they walked through the water to the building in the center of the lake.
"Master Pufferfish Ghost, why are you here?"
What greeted him was a bald man in a white coat, his eyes seemed to have been squeezed through by the door, leaving only a slit.
"By order of Lord Mizukage, come and see if you have completed what you did to that Konoha girl."
Kakashi replied coldly.
The bald man saluted respectfully, then showed a flattering smile.
"Please rest assured, Mizukage-sama, that girl is born with water attributes."
"And the body seems to have been enhanced by secret magic, making it extremely suitable as a container."
“So our process of infusing it with a triple tail went very smoothly!”
"However, the opponent has just become a Jinchuuriki, and the transformation of his body by the power of the tailed beast has not yet been completed. He needs to be observed for another week."
The bald man explained in detail.
In his opinion, Master Fugu Oni belongs to the higher-ups of the village and is a direct descendant of Master Mizukage.
If you can please the other person and let him say a few nice words for you in front of Lord Mizukage, you will definitely be able to go further in your career in the future!
"Well, very good, you are very good."
"Take me to see that girl's current situation. If what you say is true, I will give you a surprise."
Kakashi looked at the bald man with a smile and his tone was cold.
When the bald man heard this, his eyebrows lit up with joy.
As for the other party's cold attitude, he didn't mind.
In his opinion, it is normal for a big shot who emerged from the blood mist to show such an attitude.
He had already begun to imagine what kind of rewards he would get later, and his attitude couldn't help but become more flattering.
"Okay, Mr. Pufferfish Ghost, I will take you there right now. Please come this way!"
Kakashi nodded indifferently and said nothing more.
He was afraid that if he said one more word, he couldn't help but take action!
Zhisui behind him listened to the conversation between the two, his face was calm, but he was very surprised in his heart.
Having experienced Ninja War firsthand, he now understands what tailed beasts mean.
Lin-senpai was actually regarded as the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki?
Shouldn't the tailed beast be a village's most important war weapon?
What kind of conspiracy is going on in Kirigakure Village?
And from what Kakashi-senpai said, he seemed to know what the other party was going to do?
Could it be that he had guessed the truth from the beginning.
So why are you so anxious to go deep into Kirigakure and destroy the other party's conspiracy?
As expected, Kakashi-senpai!
Zhisui only felt that the tall figure in front of him had become unpredictable.
Soon, the two walked through the dark and damp corridor and arrived at the ward where Lin was detained.
Kakashi walked forward quickly and pushed away several experimenters in white coats surrounding the hospital bed.
Lin, who was pale and bloodless, was tightly tied to the hospital bed with multiple ropes, and her body was covered with infusion tubes.
Kakashi saw this and took a deep breath.
He raised his slightly trembling left hand and gently touched Lin's face, which was cold and biting.
If it weren't for the Holter monitor nearby that was recording Lin's weak heartbeat, and the pained expression Lin showed from time to time, proving that she was still alive.
Kakashi was afraid that what was lying in front of him was Lin's body!
"Master Pufferfish Ghost!"
The experimenter who was pushed aside by Kakashi had a serious face and was about to get angry.
After seeing the person clearly, he immediately showed an attentive smile, bowed and saluted.
The strong ones in Kirigakure Village are respected, and the puffer fish of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is not something they can afford to offend.
"How could she become like this!"
Kakashi's voice contained uncontrollable anger.
"That's right, Mr. Pufferfish Ghost."
"This container is already relatively perfect. If it were the previous container, it would have been scrapped by now."
"And this container has already passed the most dangerous stage."
"As long as nothing happens, she will definitely be able to complete the arrangements made by the village's top management!"
The leading experimenter quickly explained.
He thought that Lord Pufferfish was dissatisfied with the current unstable state of the container.
"Oh?"
"Where did the previous containers come from and how were they processed?"
Kakashi suppressed his anger and asked pretending to be curious.
"Hey, sir, aren't you asking questions knowingly?"
"Those containers were naturally tied from the front lines and the battlefields of Konoha."
"As for those failed products, of course they sink into the lake to feed the fish!"
"But before sinking into the lake, if there was a woman with a beautiful face..."
Before the leading experimenter could speak, the bald man interrupted, showing a lewd smile while speaking.
In his opinion, no matter how powerful a ninja is, he is still a man.
Especially strong men like Mr. Pufferfish who kill crazily on the battlefield.
If there are any special needs, help arrange them yourself, isn't it just like being on the line with the big shot?
He still remembers the surprise that the adults just said.
As for whether it would cause resentment among adults, he wasn't worried.
He would only touch those that failed, and would never touch the containers that had succeeded and met the mission requirements like the one in front of him.
After all, he is not stupid. There is no way that his little hobby will delay the village's plans!
Even from the tailed beast sealing ceremony of this container to the daily care of the container, dedicated female medical ninjas are responsible for it.
They are just afraid that the container will not be able to think about it after understanding its situation, causing their mission to fail!
Hearing this, other experimenters also showed lewd smiles.
After working in this oppressive environment all year round, they also need some release.
"So, if she hadn't succeeded by luck, she would have been buried in the lake and fed to fish by you, and her body would have been gone."
Kakashi suppressed his murderous intent and asked the last question.
As for the hint in the other party's words, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"That's natural. Once this kind of container is scrapped, it can be brought back from the battlefield. You can get as many as you want!"
"Speaking of which, it's thanks to heroes like you fighting on the battlefield that we can obtain so many container materials!"
The bald man didn't know why the pufferfish ghost was so interested in this container.
But he knows that as long as he performs well enough, he will be rewarded by adults!
As for the adults’ thoughts, it doesn’t matter!
Which of these aloof people doesn’t have some special quirks?
