ninja bandits

After sorting out my luggage a little, I waited at the hotel for half an hour, but there was still no sign or message from Hachiro Kazama.

Chinen Keicai had no choice but to lead Kaguya Kyū and Yaon out of the hotel and go to the agreed-upon location to contact the liaison personnel from the Country of Waves.

The disappearance of Hachihiro Kazama cast a shadow over several people.

Even if he thought he was not weak, he would not go out alone to prevent being besieged by the unknown enemy.

Arriving at a small courtyard in the east of the city that looked ordinary on the outside, Chinenkei gently knocked on the door.

'Creak--'

After a while, a head with a warrior braid poked out of the door: "Who are they?"

Chinenkei did not explain too much, but took out an ordinary dark brown wooden sign from his arms and handed it to the other party: "Please give this to Manager Ito."

"Please wait."

After taking the wooden sign, the expression of the man with samurai braid suddenly became much more respectful. After saying a polite word, he quickly turned back to inform the person in charge of the house.

After a while, a man over fifty years old wearing a light black kimono with a calm and dignified face walked quickly from the courtyard: "Dear guests, please come in quickly."

Then he led Kaguya and the others into a room that had been soundproofed.

"Dear guests, please forgive me. Due to the recent high-profile events, for safety reasons, the Daimyo does not allow His Highnesses to leave the Daming Mansion."

After shielding the left and right and closing the door tightly, Manager Ito apologized: "Therefore, I will be solely responsible for receiving the distinguished guests of Kirigakure this time. If you have any needs, you can ask me. I will try my best to satisfy you all."

Hearing the news, Zhinianqing frowned slightly: "Can the information from the Daming Mansion still be spread?"

"No problem." Manager Ito affirmed: "If you have anything you want to know, just ask, and I will tell you everything you know."

Nodding, Chinenkei went straight to the topic: "Who is coming to Konoha this time?"

"Konoha sent a total of six ninjas this time, but they all wore masks and their specific identities could not be identified."

Manager Ito obviously had a draft in mind, and replied without any hesitation: "However, we found a member of the Hyuga clan who is suspected to have white eyes, and another person who is unusually fat and is suspected to be a member of the Akimichi clan."

'With the people of the Akimichi clan here, the trio of pigs, deers, and butterflies shouldn't be able to escape, and with the presence of Byakugan...'

After receiving this information, Zhinianqing's heart sank and he continued to ask: "Do you have the latest information on the defense layout of the Daming Mansion?"

"No."

Manager Ito shook his head: "Since the arrival of Konoha's ninjas, they have taken over the defense of Daming Mansion.

We don't have the ability or dare to inquire about this information. "

These two pieces of news completely dispelled the idea of ​​Chinenkei sneaking into the Daiming Mansion, using Kaguya and Kyū as bait to attract the attention of the guards and assassinate the Daimyo directly.

With Byakugan's 360-degree all-round radar with no blind spots, doing so will only fall into the trap laid out by the opponent in advance.

I had no choice but to give it a try and asked, "Does the Daiming have any plans to leave the Daming Mansion recently?"

I didn't expect this question, and it actually came as a surprise.

"some."

Manager Ito nodded, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and replied: "In three days, the annual Poseidon Festival will come. At that time, the daimyo will take the three royal highnesses and the princess to the Mianzumi Shrine outside the city. Attend the festival.”

'Isn't it a coincidence to go to the festival at this time? '

'Are you trying to lure a snake out of its hole? '

After muttering something in his mind, Kaguya asked: "Did the daimyo participate in the Poseidon Festival every year in the past?"

"No, daimyo doesn't like this kind of activities very much. The last time he participated was ten years ago."

Without waiting for others to ask questions, Chief Ito gave the reason why the daimyo decided to participate in the festival this time: "I heard from His Highness the Second Prince.

The daimyo decided to attend the festival this time because his beloved little daughter, Princess Wind Chime, was clamoring to see the long-famous Poseidon Festival and broaden her horizons.

The daimyo couldn't resist her, so he had to agree to her request. "

The Second Highness mentioned by Chief Ito was the dutiful son who conveyed the news that his own father was planning to defect to the Land of Fire to Kirigakure, and cooperated with them both internally and externally.

'Damn it, this is probably a fishing bureau! '

After listening to the other party's explanation, Kaguya Xiu became more certain of his guess.

Thinking about it, Konoha couldn't possibly waste two elite ANBU teams guarding here.

It's too much to pay for the name of a small country.

It's better to devise a conspiracy to bring out the enemies hiding in the dark.

Then catch them all in one fell swoop to form a deterrent.

At that time, you can calmly withdraw these two ANBU elite teams and replace them with an ordinary team to protect the safety of the Daimyo of Wave Country.

Dare to do this, must be extremely confident in one's own strength.

Chinenkei obviously thought of this too.

But even though he knew it was a trap deliberately set by the other party, he had to step into it bravely.

There is still a slight chance of success in an attack in the wild.

If we engage in positional warfare and storm Daming Mansion, and the opponent has the strategic weapon of Byakugan, the probability of success of the mission will be infinitely close to zero.

"In this case, the action will be scheduled in three days."

Having made up his mind, Chinenkei looked at Kaguya and Kyū behind him and said, "You two go down and prepare first. I will inform you when the operation begins."

………………

During these three days.

In addition to making arrangements for the assassination operation on the day of the Poseidon Festival, Kaguya spent her free time hiding in the dark and silently observing Cardo's actions.

"Do you want to ride the wind?"

"me……"

When Kaguya asked this question, Kado became more entangled in his heart and even stuttered.

I have seen too many dogs and flies, and the darkness of society.

He wanted to seize this opportunity, but he was worried that the other party was a liar who wanted to trick him into working as free labor in a black mine.

"This is 20 taels. If you can earn 100 million with principal and interest within five days, I will give you a chance."

Without giving the other party extra time to think about it, Kaguya took out a stack of cash from his wallet, handed it to the other party, and said seductively: "An opportunity to soar above the nine heavens and look down on all living beings."

He met the other party's sharp and profound gaze that didn't match his body shape.

Cardo gritted his teeth and snatched the item that changed his life from the other party's hand: "How can I contact you then?"

Using his fingers as a sword, he slashed across the dwarf boy's head.

"I will come find you when the time comes."

Raising a handful of fine hair in his hand, Kaguya warned in a cold voice: "Also, don't think about taking the money and running away.

With this in my hand, no matter where you go in the ninja world, I can find you. "

He has never been afraid to speculate on people's hearts with the worst possible malice.

Therefore, necessary precautions and warnings are still needed.
