LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 20 Intelligence
Facts have proved that the strength gap between the elite ANBU from the five major ninja villages and the wandering ninjas from unknown ninja villages cannot be resolved through numerical superiority.
Even under the premise that Kaguya Rei did not want to reveal his identity as a member of the Kaguya clan, and only used conventional taijutsu and an awkward kunai to fight, a dozen wandering ninjas could not survive in front of him for five seconds. clock time.
All he had to do was stroll past those ridiculously slow wandering ninjas, and he could take away their lives without any trace of fireworks. He could draw his sword so fast that they couldn't even react. The fact that he is dead.
In the eyes of the ordinary people around, the scene turned into Kaguya Rei walking briskly out of the encirclement of the wandering ninjas, and then the wandering ninjas who had escaped were about to turn around and pursue their targets, but they started to take steps again. In an instant, the body and head were separated, and the chest exploded, turning into corpses with a horrific appearance of death.
And Kaguya Rei's body was not even stained by a drop of blood from the wandering ninjas.
Even though the civilians of the Kingdom of Whirlpool have been oppressed by wandering ninjas from various countries for so many years, they were still frightened by this strange scene. They covered their mouths and tried not to be frightened. Screaming out in agony while trying to escape from this place in a panic, Kaguya Rei couldn't help but shake her head again.
It is no longer possible for people in the Kingdom of Whirlpool to have any resistance to ninjas.
They have been tamed by the rebellious ninjas entrenched in this country to the point where they don't even dare to let the ninja masters hear their screams.
How sad.
Casually throwing away the blunted kunai in his hand, and killing the tall man who was trying to kneel down to beg for mercy, Kaguya Rei observed the additional gains brought to him by the cornerstone rune of [Dark Harvest]. I walked into the store whose door had just been kicked in.
[Dark Harvest layer +1, current layer is 2]
[Dark Harvest layer +1, current layer is 3]
…
[Dark Harvest layer +1, current layer is 17]
[The number of Dark Harvest stacks reaches double digits, the soul strength is increased, the illusion resistance is increased, and the Yin attribute chakra is enhanced]
A cool and transparent feeling surged out of his mind, flowing to every cell of his body like a clear spring from a snow-capped mountain that had just melted. Kaguya carefully felt the change that slightly sublimated his soul, and gently nodded. nod.
It is indeed right to choose [Dark Harvest].
After you finish your job this time, just go farming in the Country of Whirlpool for a while before going back.
Anyway, the wandering ninjas gathered here are the kind of humanoid garbage that no one will care about even if they die. Apply more layers of [Dark Harvest] on them. I am in the war between Kirigakure and Konoha. Only there will have a higher probability of achieving what you want.
"Ninja, Master Ninja...please, may I ask you, is there anything you need, need a villain to do?"
Kaguya Rei raised her head and looked at the middle-aged businessman who was stammering to talk to him while tremblingly protecting his daughter behind him. He slowly restrained the murderous aura that naturally overflowed from his body and asked:
"When you begged the corpse just now, you said that you had just given most of your wealth to four passing ninjas two days ago, right...Tell me their appearance and physical characteristics, and what they took from you. Where the money goes afterward.”
As soon as he heard that Kaguya Rei was asking about news related to ninjas, the middle-aged businessman subconsciously shrank his neck, trying to use ambiguous words to fool anyone so as not to offend anyone, but when the corner of his eye glanced at the street outside, When he got on top of the dozen or so corpses lying in various directions, he immediately shuddered and quickly rejected his previous idea of "two people are not guilty".
The guy in front of me who started killing people at the slightest disagreement was more dangerous.
"They, they are wearing very common civilian clothes from the Land of Fire. They don't wear ninja forehead protectors, but everyone is very skilled. But for some reason, everyone looks very nervous and nervous, as if there is something wrong with them. It's like something is chasing them behind them..."
"Also, another thing is that they are very disdainful of other ninja gentlemen who often come to the town, and they belittle them in words as if they are not worth mentioning... By the way, the villain is preparing money to give them When I passed by, I accidentally overheard some of them talking about the 'Uzushio Village'..."
"As for where they went after leaving the town, I don't know..."
"No, I don't know if there is anything you need in these messages..."
Kaguya turned her head away, not wanting to look at the other party's pathetic expression of servility and flattery.
"It's still somewhat useful... In this case, I won't ask you for commission for getting rid of those rubbish."
"Thank you, thank you Ninja Master!"
The middle-aged businessman showed an expression of surprise and joy on his face. He quickly pulled his young daughter to kneel down and kowtow, and kept saying thank you to Kaguya Rei who "showed great mercy" and did not blackmail them again. .
Seeing the girl's childish round face with awe and humble look up to him, Kaguya Rei silently made up her mind. When she became the Mizukage, her first external expansion target would be here.
Anyway, for the people of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, they only know that they have to submit to the rule of ninjas. As for which ninja village these ninjas who rule them come from? Who cares?
…
Soon after, an ANBU team from Konoha also successfully arrived at the border of the Country of Whirlpool, and connected with Konoha's intelligence personnel in the Country of Whirlpool.
"How is the situation? Have you found the specific whereabouts of the mission target?"
Hinata Munakata, the ANBU captain who was responsible for leading the team, took the initiative to ask.
"Yes, those guys acted in a panic and left a lot of clues that can be followed. After roughly analyzing them in series, we believe that their destination should be the ruins of the destroyed Uzumaki Village. Although we don't know Specifically why..." The intelligence officer nodded, and then changed the topic, "But at the same time, we also found some information that may be related to the pursuit troops sent by Kirigakure."
"Kirigakure's pursuit force?" An ANBU from the Inuzuka clan repeated the information with great interest, "Tell me more specifically."
"yes."
The intelligence officer took out a scroll with not yet completely dry ink from his arms and handed it to Hyuga Munakata, who was leading the team, and stated:
"The target of the pursuer who was suspected to be Kirigakure came to the Country of Whirlpool alone. He showed up in a town controlled by wandering ninjas and killed all the wandering people in the town because of a verbal conflict. The ninja also made some inquiries to a businessman who was blackmailed by the wandering ninja, and then left the town, his whereabouts unknown...
This is the only information we have, and you still need to make your own specific judgment. "
"Hey~ Captain Munakata, Kirigakure's people are very arrogant. They went to other countries to hunt down ANBU-level traitorous ninjas, but they only sent one person... Are you so confident in that guy's strength?"
Inuzuka Seo, who had just joined the ANBU, hammered his fist excitedly and planned to join his teammates to take down Kirigakure's pursuer, but the mature and steady Hyuga Munakata slowly spoke. :
"Maybe it's not just confidence in the strength of the pursuer... but also maybe for Kirigakure, the fewer people who know about the mission involving those four ANBU traitorous nins, the better.
If this is the case, then the value of the four traitorous ninjas may be higher than we previously thought.
From now on, everyone must place Lord Minato's Flying Thunder God Kunai in the most convenient place. Once we capture the mission target, we will directly activate the Flying Thunder God Kunai and let Lord Minato come and take them back to the village... ...If we encounter that Kirigakure assassin alone, I also allow you to directly activate the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and then make all actions to save your own life as the main goal, do you understand? "
"Is it necessary to be so exaggerated, Captain Munakata?" Inuzuka Seo snorted a few times dissatisfied, "We are ANBU directly under the Third Generation. If we encounter a little trouble in the mission, we want to find others. If we ask for help, wouldn’t it make us look like we’re all useless?”
"Seo is right, Captain Munakata, are you a little too nervous? Kirigakure doesn't have a ninja who can dominate a country like Lord Minato. Even if there were, how could he be the only one responsible for hunting down traitorous ninjas? Where’s the guy?”
"It's not a bad thing to be careful. Kirigakure hasn't participated in a war in the ninja world for many years. Who knows if some super scary monsters will be born under their bloody system..."
Seeing that the ANBU members under his command began to express their opinions, Hinata Munakata took a deep breath, frowned and said sharply:
"This is my judgment as the captain of the ANBU. It is an order rather than a consultation! I don't remember that I have taught you that you can question the orders of your superiors according to your own preferences during the execution of the mission."
"learn."
Although there are still some people in the Konoha Anbu present who feel that there is no need to make such a fuss, but since Hyuga Munakata, the squad leader, has said so, they will still respect the orders he gave.
Even if only on the surface.
