Chapter 249: Prelude to the Smoke of Gunpowder
"What's the use of panicking, calm down!" the interrupted elder frowned, "what's going on?"
"The scroll that Konoha passed over with the fastest ninja eagle has the latest information on it!" the visitor gasped, holding a scroll in both hands and carefully placing it on the table.
"I'll see. Ebizo took the scroll and unfolded it, and after a while, the old face drooped even more.
"Ebizo, what did it say?" Chiyo asked, frowning.
"Sister, Konoha didn't lie to us before, the 'scorpion' is indeed in that organization. Ebizo sighed and handed the scroll to Chiyo, "In their recent operation, they caught the subordinate of the 'Scorpion' and confirmed this information. β
Chiyo took the scroll, her brow locking even tighter.
"We found a suspicious person during our previous investigation mission in the Land of Winds," she read as she watched, "After interrogation and verification, it was confirmed that he was a subordinate of the 'Red Sand Scorpion'......"
"After secret interrogation and known information, we have confirmed that the 'Scorpion' has joined the organization of 'Xiao' and has planted a large number of spies and secret ...... in your country."
"The Scorpion is a traitor to your side and an important member of Xiao, therefore, in order to express our sincerity and promote cooperation between you and us in the matter of jointly fighting Xiao, we hereby extract all the information obtained from the interrogation as follows, please be aware of it......"
She finished reading the words on the scroll word by word, and her face became more and more ugly.
Handing the scroll to the next elder, Chiyo said in a heavy tone: "You said before that Konoha's information mentioned that the scorpion joined the Akatsuki organization, I thought it was just a trick for you to use the name of that slug girl to trick us out of the mountain, but I didn't expect it...... This is actually true. β
"I really didn't expect that my lovely grandson would join such an evil organization and be in the company of such evil people...... It's really chilling!"
"Sister......" Ebizo glanced at Chiyo with a complicated expression, and stopped talking.
"Okay, don't comfort me, an old woman who is in her old age! At my age, there's nothing ......I can't see," Chiyo said coldly, looking at the rest of the Shinobi leaders, "The most important thing now is to discuss how we should act next." β
"Since such important information has been discovered, Konoha should be ordered to withdraw their men to the Land of Fire, and we will send someone to investigate the matter!" said Markey strongly.
"It's not going to work. An elder sitting next to Chiyo, who was flipping through the intelligence scroll, shook his head again and again, and categorically denied, "Let's not talk about whether Konoha will agree to such a repentance, even if they promise to withdraw to the dark department, and wait for us to collect information, it will be too late......"
"Konoha was scared when he was gathering information. Maki's political cells were really equal to zero, Chiyo sighed secretly, and then explained, "Now that Scorpion and Xiao have known that some of their peripheral organizations have been discovered by us, the next step will definitely be to quickly transfer personnel and destroy evidence, in this case, by the time we finish negotiating with Konoha, those strongholds of Scorpion will definitely be empty long ago." β
"Then what should we do?" asked the young senior named Yura.
"Of course we can't ignore it, Konoha belongs to Konoha and we belong to us, we can't be naΓ―ve enough to think that they will share all the information with us, and we can't leave everything to the alliance to do......," Chiyo said coldly, "The best way is to send our elite team to follow them in the name of support to ensure that we are not deliberately concealed important information." β
"Elite support team?" Yura said calmly, "How about just letting my Airo's team complete this task?"
"Seconded"*N.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
A city in the Land of Winds.
In the stronghold of a subordinate of a scorpion disguised as an izakaya.
"Why...... You've drunk poisoned tea and sake, but there's no sign of poisoning?" asked the spy, who was hanging in the air.
He had a distinct footprint on his chest, and his body was visibly sunken, the mark of a heavy kick from Shino. The Dark Captain's kick almost kicked away half of the spy's life.
Sakura's hand emitted a blue glow of medical ninjutsu, and she hastily treated several of the most seriously injured spies, lest they die before they were interrogated.
When she walked up to the dying spy, she listened to his question and laughed.
There was a hint of sarcasm in the laughter.
They knew there was something wrong with the shop in advance, so of course they wouldn't actually eat or drink the food they served.
Sakura seemed to have drunk two cups of tea, but in fact, she had already taken the tea in her mouth and did not swallow it.
Moreover, even if she actually drank it, as a medical ninja, she had a way to heal herself.
However, there is no need to tell them all the things behind them.
She just smiled shallowly, and said while treating his internal injuries: "We have been prepared for a long time, so naturally we will not fall into your trap...... Don't talk nonsense, if you want to live, just answer our questions honestly!"
Under the threat of death and the illusion of Terumi Yuzuki, they soon get the latest information.
"Lord Scorpion has ordered us to send a new order to the spy hiding in Orochimaru's base, and the content of the order is to ask him to report Orochimaru's recent whereabouts, so that the Akatsuki organization can continue to hunt down Orochimaru......"
Bewildered by the illusion of the dark moon, the head of the stronghold sat in a chair, his eyes rolled and saliva dripping from his mouth, mechanically answering the questions posed by Squad 14.
They were lucky that the person in charge did not get a headshot for leaking information.
It seems that the only people who have been banned by the special sealing technique placed by the scorpion are the people who really know the secrets of Xiao and the scorpion, and it doesn't matter at all that a little minion like him who is just responsible for transmitting information......
Shino glanced at Yuzuki and winked, who nodded knowingly and continued to ask.
"When and where is the report, and who will go?"
"The time is tomorrow at noon, and the location is a location called Yinyang Bridge in Kawanokuni, and the specific location is marked on the map on the intelligence letter. In addition, this time, only Lord Scorpion went alone, and there was no need for anyone else to follow him......" the person in charge said in a stiff tone.
Shino, Sakura, and Yugetsu glanced at each other.
His expression grew solemn.
It seems that this trip can at least find traces of Xiao or Orochimaru......
Shino walks over and knocks the spies unconscious.
"I'll leave these people to the rest of the squad. He took out the flare and launched it into the sky, "The location of the Yin-Yang Bridge is also marked on our map, and it is not close to here...... From now on, we're going to go all out!"
"This mission is mainly to detect intelligence, and we must try to avoid fighting! However, if there is a real battle......
Shino looked back at Sakura deeply.
ββ¦β¦ I'll probably have to ask you, Sakura!"
If you are against the Great Snake Pill or the Red Sand Scorpion...... He and Terumi can't help, they can only watch Sakura Haruno!
"I understand, Captain. β
Sakura Haruno replied solemnly.
I felt the weight of my shoulders.
