The old devil Konoha wants to be a good person

Itachi figured out the meaning and nodded clearly. Loquat Juuzang continued: "The person we want to meet this time is a bounty ninja named Yagyu."

"On the surface, he is the leader of the Hunting Owls, and everyone knows the blood feud with the Blood Owl. But privately, he is solely responsible for conveying the Blood Owl's will, including connecting with our Akatsuki."

"What's going on?"

Itachi raised his eyebrows, feeling a little confused. He didn't think that a sane person could go through fire and water for his enemy, even to the death. So the real situation

"Yagyu was originally a samurai from the Kingdom of Iron. It is said that the uncle who raised him was killed by a blood lord. Since then, he has determined to take revenge and even transformed into a ninja in order to pursue power."

"But as you might think, there must be a lot of trouble here." Loquat Juuzang shrugged: "Unfortunately, I neither know the specific situation nor am I interested in knowing it."

"I only know that Yagyu is very strong, very strong, and that's enough."

As the son of the former clan leader, Itachi immediately thought of family disputes and couldn't help but think deeply, guessing that Yagyu and his uncle might be called relatives but actually enemies.

On the surface, they are harmonious, but secretly they want the other person to die immediately. Although such cases are rare, they are not unheard of. Itachi has a lot of say in this.

It should be noted that before the Uchiha clan was exterminated, the doves and hawks were almost in the same relationship as fire and water. The ties of blood were actually not very important in some cases.

The blood owl kills people everywhere without restraint, and maybe it just helps Yagyu a lot, so the latter follows the former. This seems to make sense logically.

And what is the reality?

In the small woods outside Aomori Town, the blood owl dog-legged Yagyu, who Itachi and Loquat Juzo talked about so much, was sitting solemnly on a tree stump, carefully wiping the katana on his knees.

Yagyu is a middle-aged man of about 40 years old, with long black hair tied into a ponytail and tied behind his head. He has a strong body and slender arms. He is dressed in simple rough linen clothes and is bulging with the muscles of his upper body.

Some people say he is a samurai, others say he is a ninja. Yagyu doesn't care about these. For him, whatever profession can bring strength is what he is.

As one of the few trusted people of the Blood Owl and his strongest subordinate, Yagyu Sheng clearly understands who he is and what he should do. His character is like the famous sword in front of his knees:

Simple, direct, and deadly.

"My father was a general of the Iron Kingdom. He should have died on the battlefield fighting foreign enemies, but he was poisoned and plotted by a young man like my uncle. This made me realize the limitations of a samurai."

"I originally planned to hollow out his internal organs with my own hands, but unfortunately times have changed. My father's old subordinates were deceived by him, and they all thought that I was making trouble unreasonably, and then they became my enemy."

"Then, at the moment when I was on the verge of death, the Blood Owl appeared, and blood rained from the sky. He killed everyone present and stretched out his hand to me, saying that he would wash away the filth in the world."

"There are so many scum in this world. Blood Owl can't kill him alone, so I want to help him, just like you will help me, right Kikuichimonji"

After muttering to himself, Yagyu slowly raised his long sword. The mirror-like blade reflected a cold and solemn face, and his eyes seemed to be exuding wisps of murderous aura all the time.

"Boss Yagyu, Boss Yagyu"

A person hurriedly ran out of the forest. He was one of the six members of the Hunter Hunters. As a bounty hunter organization, this number could ensure sufficient eliteness, mobility, and loyalty.

"Who is the imposter? Have you found out?" Yagyu didn't take away his gaze from the blade, and the visitor didn't mind. He told the found out information in one breath:

"In Aomori Town, some people did witness the appearance of the blood owl boss, but most of the people there have fled, leaving some old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't speak clearly and can't even speak."

"I ask you, have you checked clearly?"

Seeing Yagyu glance at him without any emotion, the man trembled and quickly continued: "I found out that the other party is not a local and has the ability to control blood."

"It is precisely with this ability similar to that of the Blood Owl Boss that the other party can pretend to be the Blood Owl Boss, intimidate the locals, and carry out actions such as robbery and fraud."

"Controlling blood is interesting." Liu Sheng curled his lips, stood up slowly, sheathed his sword, and raised his hand forward: "Let's go, take me to see that guy."

"Also, Boss Yagyu"

"What's up"

"Akatsuki's people have arrived at the agreed place and are waiting to receive our money. There is also a group of Konoha ninjas coming here, and they seem to be going to Aomori Town."

Liu Sheng paused, pressing his temples with his fingers, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he suddenly asked: "Who is the person Xiao sent this time?"

"Loquat Juuzang, there is a newcomer."

"I don't like Loquat Juuzang, he is too unprofessional." Yagyu Sheng paused, seeing his accomplice looking at him eagerly, he slightly slowed down his tone and said:

"But I don't like Kakuzu even more. He's too greedy."

"Who does the boss like?"

"I like Zetsu, but it's a pity that he is too weak to control this business." Rubbing the handle of the knife with his palm, Yagyu smiled with interest and walked forward again.

"Let's go, let Akatsuki's people join us in Aomori Town. Apart from the impostor who can control blood, those Konoha ninjas are also worthy of being the harvest of this trip."

"As long as that Akatsuki newcomer is not a waste, none of them can escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wind suddenly blew, the branches and leaves trembled, and the shadows of the trees flickered. This member of the Hunters, who had reached the Jonin level, was startled, and then he realized that Yagyu had left at some point.

"Roll your eyes. Open"

On a steep cliff a few kilometers away from Aomori Town, Hinata was making seals with his hands. The corners of his eyes were instantly covered with ferocious veins, and he was carefully observing the conditions of each neighborhood in the town.

By asking some fleeing refugees along the way, everyone in Konoha has already targeted Aomori Town. All they have to do now is to see the blood owl with their own eyes, and the mission is completed.

With Byakugan Xueji here, as long as they are careful, they theoretically won't attract the blood owl's attention. After all, according to intelligence calculations, the blood owl's perception range should only be about two to three kilometers.

The distance between this place and Aomori Town is ten kilometers.

Jiraiya, Rinru, and Kakashi squatted next to Hinata Masakazu, looking down at the past. From the height of the cliff, they could also observe the general situation of the town.

"It's sparsely populated, and nine of the ten rooms are empty, but there are no corpses or plasma. It's surprisingly "clean" there. Could it be that the blood owl ate all the dead?"

Kakashi closed his right eye tightly and kept the Sharingan in his left eye open. The three magatama were spinning rapidly and he was talking to himself, his face was a little ugly.

"Depending on the situation, it doesn't look like it." Jiraiya frowned slightly and analyzed thoughtfully: "The houses are in good condition, the roads are flat, and there are no signs of damage to the buildings in the town."

"If you say that the Blood Owl has been here, I don't believe it."
