Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Just kill her
Chapter 203: Just kill her
Akimichi Torifu is not an unknown person.
He has been active from the First Great Ninja War to the present day, and has become a permanent figure in the bingo book of all great ninja villages.
If it was Kaito who led the team to besiege and defeat the opponent, everyone would not be too surprised.
However, what Yagura said was that he killed the enemy alone.
This makes people have a higher opinion of Kaito's strength.
However, Kaito felt even more embarrassed as he was constantly being stared at as if he was a rare species.
The last time he received this kind of attention was when he first became the captain of the flying squad.
Kaito hurriedly coughed twice, interrupting the rest of the discussion.
He explained to Yagura.
"It was mainly because Akimichi Torifu was intent on destroying our aircraft carrier, so I ambushed and killed him."
Although he is now famous, Kaito still doesn't want to be too ostentatious and tries to be restrained when speaking.
Unexpectedly, Yagura continued to speak with a smile.
"Successfully protecting the aircraft carrier is a great achievement."
"It's just my job."
Seeing that Kaito was being humble again and again, Yagura did not continue to praise him and instead spoke.
"I have a pretty good ninjutsu here. Later, the jonin Mirukawa can stay here as a reward for the extra credit for this mission."
Kaito's eyes lit up when he heard this.
'Why didn't you tell me earlier if there was a benefit? That's right! I killed him! I killed him on my own!'
'As for ninjutsu, I'm not picky, but the Water Mirror Jutsu is pretty good!'
Of course, Kaito was just thinking about this in his mind, and he still thanked him sincerely.
Anyway, the benefits have already been obtained, so it is better to keep a low profile, otherwise troubles are bound to come to you.
The meeting content started to get a bit boring after that.
It was either some logistical scheduling issues within the camp, or analysis of various rumors in the ninja world and whether any response was needed.
Kaito even heard a piece of news that a new and very active organization has recently emerged in the Land of Rain.
It's just that the Land of Rain is too far away from the Land of Water, and because of the great power of the 'Ninja World Demigod' Sanshōuo no Hanzō in the last Great Ninja War, the main battlefield of the Three Lands the Land of Fire, Earth and Wind this time was not placed in the Land of Rain.
Therefore, an emerging organization in the Land of Rain did not receive the attention of everyone present.
After the meeting.
Kaito was originally happily waiting for Yagura to teach him ninjutsu.
Who would have thought that he was not the only one left behind.
Harusame, Kisame, and Ao were also left behind.
Kaito immediately felt that something was wrong.
As expected, Yagura spoke with a serious expression.
"Kaito, I asked you to stay behind here is because in addition to the matter of ninjutsu, there is also a special mission that needs you to lead the team to perform."
Kaito resisted the urge to roll his eyes and complained wildly in his heart.
'Sure enough! I knew it wasn't a good thing, otherwise how could there be extra rewards for killing enemies when completing a mission! '
'Yagura is becoming more and more sinister. No wonder he kept flattering me before.'
Unfortunately, Kaito had no power to refuse this kind of task assigned by his superiors during the war, and he could only listen obediently.
When Yagura saw the uncomfortable look on Kaito's face, the serious expression on his face faded a little, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"This mission will be led by you, Kaito, with Kisame and Ao working with you."
"Return the prisoners captured from Konoha to the Konoha!"
"Prisoners? Return them?"
Kaito looked at Yagura with a puzzled look on his face.
Yagura did not hide anything and simply explained the situation.
Konoha originally wanted to return the Scorch Style Pakura from the Sunagakure Village who was captured by Konoha's Namikaze Minato in the previous Land of water, fire and wind three-way battle to the Sunagakure Village in exchange for some benefits or the signing of a peace treaty.
However, at first the two sides could not reach a consensus, and the Sunagakure Village was still eyeing Konohagakure Village, so the negotiations were simply shelved.
Pakura was actually imprisoned by Konoha for more than half a year.
However, some time ago, Sunagakure saw that Konoha was in decline and sent troops to the Land of River again. Konoha, exhausted from dealing with the situation, had to propose negotiations again.
"The specific content of the negotiations is still unknown, but the return of the Scorch Style Pakura is definitely an important condition."
"And what I need you to do is to prevent this prisoner from returning."
After saying this, Yagura stood on tiptoe and patted Kaito's shoulder.
However, Kaito was not moved at all, instead he asked.
"How does Yagura-sama want me to prevent the return of the prisoner?"
"It's better to recruit!"
"Ah?"
Not only was Kaito shocked, but the other people beside him were also full of question marks.
Obviously, they didn't know what Yagura was thinking before.
However, Yagura himself said this with excitement on his face.
"The Sunagakure Village kept Pakura in Konoha for half a year. It is impossible for Pakura to not have resentment."
"And there is news that Pakura was the loser in the competition for the position of Kazekage with the current Fourth Kazekage Rasa. Even if she successfully returns to the Sunagakure Village now, it is impossible for her to hold a high position again. At best, she can only exist as a thug."
"On the contrary, she came to our side. The Third Mizukage-sama promised to give her a high-ranking position in the village and to help her build her own bloodline family with all his strength."
However, Kaito didn't hear much of what Yagura said.
'Yes, you have a point. But.'
"You want me to recruit Pakura??"
Kaito almost asked Yagura directly if he was sick.
Kaito believed that he had one-third of the credit for Pakura's current situation. Let alone trying to recruit her, he was afraid that they would fight as soon as they met.
In this situation, they arranged for me to recruit the other party. Did the village really want me to die outside because I was too active recently?
Although Kaito interrupted him, Yagura didn't care too much.
He then spoke to comfort him.
"Although you participated in the battle that led to Pakura's capture, you were only a Chunin at that time. Everyone serves their own master on the battlefield."
"If she can't even accept this, then even if she is successfully recruited, she will be a disaster."
Having said that, the excitement on Yagura's face faded, and he spoke with a cold expression.
"Then kill her."
Yagura looked at Kaito calmly.
"What the village wants is that Konohagakure and Sunagakure cannot cease fighting, and your mission is to prevent Konohagakure from returning Pakura, whether by recruiting or killing her."
Kaito nodded after hearing this.
'That's more like it. Bullshit!'
'I'm a newly promoted jonin! Now I'm going to kill Pakura?'
This was something that the three ninja swordsmen on the battlefield hadn't been able to accomplish together. Even if the people around him and the flying troops were added, the difficulty would be a bit too high, right?
As if he saw Kaito's embarrassment, Yagura gave a brief explanation.
"Pakura has been imprisoned by Konoha for half a year, so her strength must have been affected. The village will not assign you a mission that you cannot complete."
As he said this, Yagura patted Kaito's shoulder again.
Now, Kaito saw a little hope of completing the task.
only.
'Instead of trying to recruit her, it's better to just take advantage of her weakness and kill her by surprise.'
Kaito thought so.
