Chapter 171: C127(1)
After the Third Raikage and Danzo's group gathered in a place in the Land of Waves, an Anbu from Cloud Shinobi immediately came to report the situation.
"Raikage-sama, this is the information we've collected recently. The local business of this factory is thriving. Recently, it has been busy even at night, but since three days ago, the night shift has stopped. It seems that some people couldn't handle the workload."
The Anbu recorded all the detected entrances and exits, the number of people in the factory, its opening and closing times, and more. He wrote all the details on a scroll and handed it to the Third Raikage.
Danzo, who stood nearby, thought with some jealousy, 'Their medicines are even used by Kirigakure, making money every moment. If the money was given to me, it would definitely double the size of the Root, and the dream of unifying the ninja world would be achieved within twenty years.'
The Third Raikage clenched his fists and said decisively, "In that case, we'll sneak in at two o'clock in the morning. Adam, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Leave it to me, Lord Raikage."
Adam, who had answered, knew exactly what the Third Raikage meant. He was wearing the Six Paths Ninja Tool Amber. In addition to sealing enemies, this ninja tool was the most powerful sealed treasure in the ninja world. It was said to be able to hold two mountains.
During the last war, Cloud Shinobi had relied on Amber's clean bottles to store military supplies and then sent them to the frontlines with the Sky Send Technique. This unique ability gave Cloud Shinobi an edge in the war, as other villages could only slowly transport supplies.
Adam's task was to pack and take away all the medicines, production equipment, and materials in the pharmaceutical factory using Amber's clean bottle.
As for Danzo? If he dared to complain, he could ask Lord Raikage for a list of what he needed!
When would Cloud Shinobi Village be able to snap up such goods?
At night, most of the residents of Town in the Land of Waves went to bed early, having worked for Boss Kain all day. Whether it was fishing or making canned food, they were exhausted and hard to wake up.
Cloud Shinobi Anbu detected this situation, so they jumped and ran boldly on the roofs. They didn't worry about occasionally encountering civilians who were still awake; by the time those civilians came out to check, the Anbu would have already disappeared.
"Third Raikage-sama, that's the factory. The guards have been relatively lazy recently. They didn't come out at all today."
After hearing the Anbu's words, Adam asked in a low voice with some doubts, "In such a big factory, why are the guards so careless?"
The Anbu immediately explained, "Because every household here works for the factory. In fact, from the outside, they are all considered factory guards. Even if a ninja is accidentally spotted, it would cause quite a stir."
"Adam, don't be surprised. This is also the case with the nobles of the Land of lightning."
After the Third Raikage finished speaking, he gave his orders: "You go and eliminate the guards, and the others will follow me and Adam to the factory. We'll act separately."
Adam's team used Six Paths ninja tools to pack everything away, while the Third Raikage rushed to Kain's location with a seal.
In his hand was the Heaven-transfer Technique mark. Once it was applied, it would plant the Heaven-transfer Technique's imprint on the target, ensuring that no matter where they escaped, they would be teleported back.
With the Third Raikage's speed, it would be easy to place the seal on the opponent before they could use space ninjutsu. Of course, it would be ideal to capture Kain in one fell swoop—he held many secrets worth exploring, and the pharmaceutical factory was just one of them.
Meanwhile, Danzo addressed the men of the two teams: "Fox, you all come with me and lurk immediately after entering. Your family's secret arts can exert the strongest power in the dark. Make sure to control them."
The "they" Danzo referred to were the Third Raikage and Kain. Although he was envious of the profits from the drug factory, he was even more interested in the Extremis virus.
That's why he hadn't disclosed this information to the Third Raikage during their cooperation—he wanted to capture Kain himself.
"Shin, it's up to you this time. As long as you can control the opponent for even a moment, we can capture him. And, really, use your Byakugan to help confirm the opponent's position."
This time, to obtain the Extremis virus, Danzo made an exception and even recruited from the Hyuga branch house, specifically to lock onto Kain's position.
In the past, the Root organization would never recruit ninjas from the Hyuga branch or the Uchiha clan, but Danzo made an exception now for the sake of the Extremis virus serum.
"Yes, Master Danzo."
After Hyuga finished speaking, he activated his Byakugan and quickly locked onto Kain's location in the pharmaceutical factory.
"I've found him, Danzo-sama."
Once Hyuga confirmed Kain's location, a ninja from the Yamanaka clan used the Telepathy Technique to transmit what Hyuga saw to the minds of Kato Dan and the other team members.
"The opponent's position has been locked, Danzo-sama."
The Root members all received the image seen through Hyuga's Byakugan, then rushed into the factory under Danzo's orders.
Cloud Shinobi's group didn't have the same convenient perception abilities as the Byakugan and the Yamanaka clan's secret arts, and Danzo had deliberately exaggerated the profits of the pharmaceutical factory to distract Cloud Shinobi's attention.
With Hyuga Shin, Kato Dan, the Yamanaka clan for perception and transfer techniques, and the other two Root teams staying outside, Danzo did not enter. He played the role of the second player—if things went wrong, he would intercept the Third Raikage at a critical moment.
"Almost. Tonight will be a big moment for me to make Konoha great again."
