"As expected of a country famous for its tea, this fragrance...is really good tea!"

Holding the steaming teacup in his hand, Osamu Dazai took a deep breath in satisfaction.

But then, he added another sentence: "Although I don't know much about tea."

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

The place where they are is the destination of this mission, the country of tea.The task that Payne entrusted to them was to assassinate the old and frail current daimyo of the country of tea, and support the second son of the daimyo who supported Akatsuki.

Although generally only the leaders of the five major countries can be called "big names" on the mainland, this does not prevent some small countries from calling themselves "big names".The country of tea is relatively rich because of the existence of tea as a special product.However, it does not have a corresponding Ninja Village.

It's no wonder that it was targeted by Payne, Osamu Dazai thought, it would be a fool not to eat the meat that was put to his mouth.

He raised his head and asked Itachi Uchiha, who was sitting across from him silently drinking tea in a cup: "Itachi-kun, according to the information, the daimyo has been ill for a long time, and he probably won't last for a few days. And his eldest son has been doing his best. Do your best to serve him, and you can be said to be the next heir that everyone expects. In this case, what are you going to do?"

Uchiha Itachi took a sip of the tea in his cup.

"Kill the daimyo and let him write the will. It's just an illusion." He replied lightly.

"It's very simple and rude, but it's the most labor-saving method. As expected of Itachi-kun." Osamu Dazai laughed, "But the main purpose of Payne's mission this time is not to support the second son of the daimyo. In fact, even though he is the eldest son He is still the second son, and what Payne wants from the beginning to the end is only the treasures and tax revenues in the national treasury of the country of tea."

"……so?"

"So," Dazai Osamu bent his knuckles and tapped on the table lightly, he looked at Uchiha Itachi and said, "What we want is an obedient, life-saving, and Akatsuki-afraid puppet, not just a simple puppet. Send the daimyo position under his ass."

"Itachi-kun, you have to know," the young man in black smiled, his iris-colored eyes slightly widened, "Sometimes, human beings don't cherish things that are too easy to get."

Seeing the faintly excited look of the young man, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help clenching his hand under the table slightly.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"The operation is the same, but it still depends on Itachi-kun's illusion," Dazai Osamu leaned against the window with his chin resting, and resumed his previous lazy look, "but the candidate needs to be changed."

"Let's choose... the eldest son of that daimyo."

The Country of Tea, Daming Mansion.

"Master Chachuan."

In the corridor, the maids bowed respectfully to the people who came.One of them, who was a little more courageous, secretly raised his head and glanced at the luxuriously dressed and handsome Highness, a blush that could not go away immediately appeared on his face.

With a faint smile on Chachuan's face, he nodded gracefully and respectfully to the maids, and then passed them without looking sideways.

Behind him, two ninjas hired by the daimyo of the tea country also took a step forward, keeping close to each other.

It wasn't until the figures of several people disappeared at the end of the corridor that the maids dared to straighten up and discuss in a low voice while no one was around.

"Your Highness's demeanor is really captivating."

One of the girls sighed, winning the unanimous approval of everyone.

"The next daimyo must be Your Highness. I really don't know what kind of woman can be by His Highness's side." Her companion said enviously, "Low maids like us..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant, and all of them couldn't help but lower their expressions.

"Why are you frowning? In my opinion, you are all very beautiful ladies, and you shouldn't show such a sad look."

At this moment, a strange man's voice suddenly came from the front.

"who?!"

The maids looked up immediately.And not far from them, a thin young man in a black overcoat with a gloomy temperament was standing there, looking at them with a smile.

"you……"

The first thing the maids noticed was the young man's overly handsome appearance, and the girls who were about to call out to the guards got stuck.The leading girl regained her composure, cleared her throat, and took the initiative to take a step forward and asked, "Who are you? Why did you appear in Daming Mansion?"

It can't be the guest of His Royal Highness, right?she thought.

"You guessed right, miss." The young man looked at her with a smile, "I am indeed a guest of His Royal Highness. I have something very important to bring to your Highness. So please help me communicate with the outsiders. Tell me, don't let them in, okay?"

The maids looked left and right, feeling a little strange about this request.But because the man's behavior didn't seem to be abnormal, and the ninjas hiding in the courtyard and guarding him didn't have any warning, so they nodded and agreed to his request.

"Thank you very much, beautiful ladies."

Osamu Dazai clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to them.The maids quickly dodged, hurriedly stood aside, and bowed deeply to him: "You can't do it, you are His Highness's guest, please don't do this!"

The more courageous girl among them blushed and looked at the young man's handsome side face, and asked cautiously, "My lord, will you come again?"

"Aye!"

Her companion hastily tugged at her clothes.

"This...probably not."

Osamu Dazai smiled and shrugged his shoulders to the regretful girl.

He smiled and thought, after all, 90.00% of people can only have death once in their lifetime, so don't be too greedy.

As the black coat on his shoulders fluttered in the wind around the corner, the figure of the young man also disappeared from their sight.

However, after turning the corner, Dazai Osamu couldn't take a few steps, so he had to stop.

He looked down at the ninjas lying at his feet who died without a sound, and slowly moved his gaze upwards, and the eldest son of the daimyo standing there with his back turned to him came into view.

——And, Uchiha Itachi, who was standing not far away and facing him, his eyes glowing blood-red.

Osamu Dazai looked straight into Uchiha Itachi's bloody eyes impartially, and looked at that reassuring expression, as if he was not worried that he would fall into his illusion if he was not careful.

"Fixed?" he asked, taking a step forward.

Uchiha Itachi blinked his eyes, and his eyes returned to the dark color again.

He nodded silently to Osamu Dazai.

"Let me see……"

Osamu Dazai pondered for a moment, then suddenly grabbed his hands and curled up in the corner, looking at their second son in awe, and said softly, "Your Highness, you should know what to do next, right? You just need to be obedient for the next two days." Stay at home and don't go out, if you can't do it like this, then you can just..."

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, just picked up the collar of the fat man who looked like a pig with one hand, and made a seppuku gesture towards him.

"Okay, okay," the pig...ah no, the second son of the big name nodded frantically in agreement, and the fat on his body trembled because of it, "I will definitely do it! I will definitely do it! Please rest assured, my lord... ah!"

Dazai threw him to the ground before he finished speaking.He shook his sore shoulders, and said with a look of disgust: "This guy must weigh at least two hundred catties."

Uchiha Itachi looked at the scene in front of him silently, and waited until Dazai Osamu put him down before he lowered his head and said to him indifferently: "Just say that an assassin sneaked into the Daimyo Mansion just now, and ask someone to clean it up."

"gone."

After speaking, he snapped his fingers.The daimyo's eldest son, who had been standing aside with dull eyes, immediately closed his eyes, fell to the ground and passed out.

Osamu Dazai glanced at the unconscious young man lying on the ground, then looked down at the glass bead in his palm.

A wisp of faint red smoke was slowly drifting out from the young man's body and blending into it.

Osamu Dazai put away the beads, followed behind Uchiha Itachi, sighed with a chuckle, "Itachi-kun is really gentle, just let him die unconsciously in a dream like this. In this case, he will die until he dies, probably You also don’t know what kind of treasonous thing you are about to commit.”

Uchiha Itachi's footsteps paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"You're thinking too much," he replied in a flat tone, "I'm just too lazy to come and kill him once the matter is over."

Osamu Dazai hummed and laughed, noncommittal to his words.

"All in all, let's stay here for a few more days," he said to Itachi, "just in case, how about?"

Seeing Uchiha Itachi nodding in agreement, he finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Calculating according to the timetable given by Sasuke-kun, next, it should be the day when the young Sasuke-kun will go on a mission for the first time, right?

You know, the country of tea is next to the country of waves.

Osamu Dazai looked at the young man in front of him wearing a red cloud robe with a black background, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

...Sasuke-kun, you really found me a good job.
