Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

The news heard from Terumi Mei's mouth surprised both Bai Mingyu and Itachi. .

Just out of the surprise brought by the intelligence itself, Bai Mingyu was more concerned about another issue:

"These things... don't seem necessary to tell us, right?"

Terumi Mei smiled, and his eyes swept over Bai Mingyu and Itachi's faces with a slightly cunning look.

However, her acting style has always been straightforward and neat, and she did not mean to show off. She quickly replied: "It is not necessary in the first place, but for tonight's operation, my manpower will basically be scattered throughout the village. Maybe I don’t have time to take care of you anymore…so you two can go outside tonight.”

"Ok?"

"But one thing I want to remind you is that your captain Sarutobi Shinnosuke is still imprisoned in the ANBU dungeon. I don't have the time or manpower to rescue him, so if you don't want the eldest son of the Third Hokage to die in Kirigakure Village, you You two can only find a way to rescue him on your own, and I will try my best to arrange for my subordinates in the ANBU to provide you with some conveniences."

After Terumi Mei's words fell, Bai Mingyu was silent for a while, and then smiled softly: "I'm afraid your real intention is to let Itachi and I act as bait?"

Apart from the Mizukage Building where Yagura is located, ANBU is the most heavily guarded place in Kirigakure Village.

If Bai Mingyu and Itachi go to rescue Sarutobi Shinnosuke, they will inevitably have to confront the ninjas of the ANBU of Kirigakure Village, such as the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost, the dried persimmon Kisame, the Loquat Juzo... There are still many ANBU of Kirigakure Village during this period. If you touch a powerful ninja, it will inevitably be a hard fight.

Moreover, once something happens to the ANBU, it will quickly attract the nearby Mist ninjas, creating a good opportunity for Terumi Mei's actions.

but……

But there was no way to refuse.

Whether it was Sarutobi Shinnosuke's identity as the head of the ANBU or his identity as the son of the Third Hokage, Bai Mingyu and Itachi had a reason to save him.

Terumi Mei was probably aware of this and said such words on purpose.

"Ah, you saw it." Terumi Mei pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes paused on Bai Mingyu's body for a few seconds, and said: "I'm sorry, I did take advantage of your thoughts, but this is also my body. What I have to do for the ninjas of Kirigakure Village. For the future of Kirigakure Village, I must use all means to ensure that tonight's operation can go smoothly... If I put you in danger, I can only say I'm sorry in advance. .”

"..."

Bai Mingyu and Itachi looked at each other.

They had actually guessed this situation. In a sense, from the day they agreed to become Terumi Mei's hostage, both parties were tied to the same boat. If Mei Terumi is defeated by Yagura, their fate will not be much better. Yagura, who was under the control of Obito, had no mercy. His only attitude towards the ninjas from other villages was to kill them all.

So no matter what, I can only place my bet on Terumi Meishen and take a gamble.

"I have no objection to being used as bait, but in order to increase the success rate of the operation, I would like to trouble Terumi Mei-sama to give us a copy of the structural drawings of the ANBU of Kirigakure Village. We will try to make as much noise as possible." Bai Mingyu raised his head. Looking into Terumi Mei's eyes, he said.

……

Two hours later, night began to fall.

A thin mist gradually appeared on the streets of Kirigakure Village. The door of Terumi Mei's house quietly opened. Bai Mingyu and Itachi, dressed in Kirigakure ninja costumes, walked out and walked towards the ANBU of Kirigakure Village on another street. go.

After leaving the door, Itachi looked around calmly and whispered: "Baiyu, are you sure Terumi Mei's words are credible? According to the agreement, as long as we create a disturbance here, they will take immediate action... But what if her intention is to throw us out as bait? To these Mist ninjas, we Konoha ninjas are supposed to be enemies, right?"

"Of course this is a possibility, but that would not do any good for Kirigakure Village. As long as Terumi Mei's goal is to become the fifth Mizukage, not the second fourth Mizukage, she has no reason not to keep her promise." Bai Mingyu said.

"..."

Itachi was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, he suddenly changed the topic: "So, Bai Yu, what do you think of the clan's move to overthrow a village? Even if Terumi Mei's plan succeeds, the Fourth Mizukage and his forces will be If it is annihilated, the strength of Kirigakure Village will be greatly weakened, and this weakening is likely to attract the covetousness of other villages, thus involving Kirigakure Village in the war...

In the face of this very possible future, is it right or wrong to launch a coup to overthrow the original ruler of the village? "

"?"

The subtext of this question is actually very obvious.

If it were someone else who didn't know the inside story, they might not be able to hear anything.

But Bai Mingyu reacted quickly. Itachi probably saw the shadows of the Uchiha clan and Konoha's senior officials from Mei Terumi and the Fourth Mizukage.

At this time in Konoha Village, the opposition between the Uchiha clan and Konoha's top brass has become increasingly obvious, and signs of rebellion are gradually forming. As a double agent between the Uchiha clan and Konoha's top brass, Itachi may have I have a premonition of what is going to happen in the future.

Bai Mingyu thought for a while and replied: "How should I put it? It depends on each individual situation. If it is a bloody tyranny like Kirigakure Village, it must be overthrown no matter what method is used. As for the others... There should be a better solution that hurts both sides.”

"Is it……"

Itachi nodded, thoughtfully.

While talking, the two of them had arrived at the street in front of the ANBU in Kirigakure Village.

This is a two-story building, with two patrolling Kirigakure Anbu standing at the door. In addition to the ground, there are four levels underground. According to the information given by Terumi Mei, Sarutobi Asuma was locked in a cell on the fourth underground level. This meant that rescuing him would be nearly impossible to avoid all the guarding ANBU along the way.

Therefore, Bai Mingyu and Itachi's plan was not to sneak in in the conventional sense from the beginning.

A dark cloud slowly drifted across the night sky, covering the moon, and the light on the street dimmed briefly.

"action!"

The next moment, the figures of Bai Mingyu and Itachi jumped out of the darkness at the same time. The teleportation technique was activated, and they quickly crossed a distance of more than ten meters like arrows shooting through the air. Sharp kunai was swung from the cuffs.

Calculated mentally and unintentionally, the two Kirigakure ANBUs didn't even have time to shout. They both fell to the ground. The bodies were caught by the two of them silently and dragged to a dark corner next to them.

After doing all this, Bai Mingyu and Itachi looked at each other, nodded, and headed straight into the damp and dark underground!
