Chapter 165 Mission Impossible
As Konoha ninjas, Kyosuke, Asuma, and Shisui clearly became the focus of attention, being watched by various people, some overtly and some covertly.
Because of his Sharingan abilities, Kyosuke was able to vaguely sense a variety of complex emotions from the various gazes he received.
They're already Konoha ninjas, yet they're still trying to take our spots. They're too greedy.
I've heard that Konoha ninjas are very strong, but they don't look that impressive.
Find a chance to take them out, and I'll become famous!
Kyosuke was imagining the meanings behind all the different gazes when he suddenly felt a surge of murderous intent in the last one. He turned around and saw that it was actually Yamori, who was disguised as Abe Moriichi, looking at him.
Shisui also sensed Mikami's gaze and began to observe Mikami warily.
"Captain, should we be careful of this guy?"
Kyosuke smiled and shook his head: "A dog that bites doesn't bark. We don't need to pay too much attention to arrogant guys like that. On the contrary, we should focus on those who have no presence."
At that moment, a young monk came over and greeted them kindly.
"Everyone in Konoha, I am Jiraiya from the Fire Temple. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
The Fire Temple and Konoha have a close relationship, so they speak quite casually.
Kyosuke asked directly, "It seems the daimyo is very determined this time, even the Fire Temple had to make a move."
The Fire Temple didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but people in the ninja world have no choice but to follow the rules, and they had to give face to the daimyo.
Di Lu was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Now that we're here, there's nothing more to say."
Kyosuke then asked with a smile, "Master Jiraiya is a few years older than us, so he must know more information. I wonder if he could give us some pointers?"
Di Lu did not refuse and turned to look in one direction.
"Those four are called Kitako, Minami, Seito, and Higashima, a famous ninja group. That person is Kazuma, I heard that his family has been ninjas directly under the daimyo for generations, with a powerful lineage of ninjutsu."
Jiraiya explained at a leisurely pace, while Kyosuke compared Jiraiya's words with the information from Konoha to assess the strength of these people.
It must be said that the Land of Fire is truly wealthy.
While supporting the behemoth that is Konoha, it also provided a living space for many ninja clans.
These ninja clans each possess one or two secret techniques. Individually, they may not be particularly strong, but once they unite and have a sufficient financial supply, they become a force to be reckoned with.
Their strength, their attitude towards Konoha, the level of support their families provide, their relationship with the Daimyo, and so on are all information that Kyosuke needs to gather.
Ugh, what a troublesome task.
Kyosuke is on a mission, and so is Yamori.
After finishing his meal, instead of going back to rest, Mikami used the opportunity of going to the toilet to create numerous shadow clones to search for information in the surrounding area.
To avoid arousing any suspicion, Mikami even sent a shadow clone to monitor Kyosuke, but it was immediately discovered by Shisui's Sharingan.
"Captain, someone is watching us."
Shisui asked Kyosuke for his opinion, and Kyosuke calmly replied, "He's probably just gathering information for tomorrow's selection. Let's ignore it."
Then, Kyosuke also created some shadow clones to go out and gather intelligence.
He still has the mission of becoming Hokage to complete.
That night, apart from Kyosuke and Mikami, everyone else, for their own purposes, used their own methods to begin gathering intelligence within the fortress.
Only when the earth remains still as a mountain can one peacefully sit in meditation.
"Sir, are we going to let them run rampant like this?"
At the highest point of the fortress, Kazuma stood at the window, looking out into the darkness, occasionally spotting one or two unusual figures.
Standing before the horse, Mao Likun stroked his chin and chuckled softly.
"Kazuma, don't rush. A daimyo needs reliable subordinates. Let them make a fuss and clarify their positions. This can help us distinguish between friend and foe, which is a good thing."
Kazuma, however, still frowned and asked with some doubt, "Why let the people of Konoha participate? They will definitely ruin the daimyo's plans."
Mori Kun sighed, "If we don't let Konoha participate, they might choose even more extreme methods. Many times, even the Daimyo has no choice but to compromise. However, we all trust you and believe that you can solve these problems and take control of this powerful ninja force."
Sensing the daimyo's expectations, Kazuma straightened his back, his brows radiating confidence.
"Rest assured, my lord, I will definitely suppress these few Konoha ninjas. The Land of Fire has enough Daimyo; the Hokage and Konoha are completely superfluous."
Hearing Kazuma speak so bluntly, Mori immediately interrupted, "Kazuma, walls have ears. Don't ever say things like that again! Also, this matter has nothing to do with the daimyo. It's all our decision, and we absolutely cannot involve the daimyo, do you understand?"
"Yes, my lord."
Just as Kazuma agreed, he suddenly pulled out a kunai and threw it out the window.
The kunai pierced a dark shadow outside the window, and the shadow immediately turned into a cloud of smoke.
"Trying to scout this place, how audacious!"
At this moment, Misato gained the memory of a shadow clone.
"As expected, there are experts protecting the area, making reconnaissance difficult. Let's check other information first."
In order to avoid revealing his identity, Mi Shou's shadow clones do not retaliate once they are discovered and attacked, so they are quickly destroyed.
The news we received was not optimistic.
No treasure vaults or similar places were found inside the fortress.
"Where could the chakra metal be? The Land of Fire is so big, it's hard to find. Let's try fishing instead."
In the dream, Mimori and Kyosuke had a brief exchange.
Kyosuke immediately understood: "You mean, we should use this selection to attract the attention of the daimyo, then demand chakra metal when the daimyo recruits us, and then follow the trail to rob the chakra metal? Great idea!"
Mikami nodded: "The Daimyo has a conflict with your Konoha. Let's put on a show tomorrow, pretending to be enemies."
Kiichiro and Chisuke watched with great interest.
Mikami was already pretending to be someone else, and now he has to pretend to be an enemy of Konoha.
Mission Impossible!
Kyosuke reminded him, "Asuma is a delinquent now. If you start a breakthrough with him, it won't seem abrupt at all, and it won't arouse suspicion."
Mikami clenched his fist: "Asuma, I understand."
At this moment, Asuma was standing in a dark corner, speaking impatiently to the ninja in front of him.
"Hurry up and tell me, what did the old man want you to do?"
The ninja in front of Asuma was a member of the Konoha Anbu, who had come to deliver a message.
"The Hokage wants you to obey Kyosuke's orders and cooperate with him to complete the mission."
Upon hearing this, Asuma immediately flew into a rage: "Hmph, tell the old man I understand his intentions, and I'll handle it accordingly. I can complete the mission even without Kyosuke!"
Seeing Asuma's stubborn demeanor, the ANBU didn't waste any words and disappeared into the shadows.
