Chapter 51: The Battle Begins
Hokage's office
The pheasant is reporting the information from the three generations.
"Is the message confirmed?" After listening to the pheasant's words, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the three generations Hokage, and he spat out a smoke ring and said slowly.
"I can't say for sure if it's the mastermind of this incident, but the other party does have a big problem."
Pheasant nodded, he is an old experience, Jie's judgment is reasonable, very valuable, not to mention that the other party is not a ninja in the village, even if he catches the wrong one, it's a big deal to cast an illusion and put it back.
"Very good, this matter will be left to you, all the detachments on the mission will be deployed by you for the time being, if you can, be sure to stay alive."
"I see." When the words fell, the pheasant disappeared in an instant, and he had to mobilize manpower as soon as possible so as not to be detected by the other party.
The lunch between the two of them was coming to an end, and after Suke finished drinking the juice in one go, Kurokawa knocked lightly on the table to settle the bill.
"Hello, thank you for your patronage, a total of 6,800 taels." The boss walked up with a smile on his face, looking very happy that the customer was satisfied
But as he swept over the leftovers on the table, his pupils shrank slightly.
After pondering for a few breaths, he pretended to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, today's saury is specially made, can you please comment on how it tastes, and in return, how about I give you a 50% discount?" β
Hearing the boss's words, Jie looked stunned, he quietly glanced around, and when he saw the whole saury left on the table, his heart suddenly struck.
His brain was spinning rapidly, and suddenly he had an idea, and he was about to speak, when he heard Kurokawa already say: "The taste is okay, but it's not fresh enough, add more dipping sauce next time." β
Hearing this, Jie's face turned dark, and he almost scolded angrily on the spot, and when it came to the critical moment, his brain began to be filled with water, you guy is really upright.
Ordered so many fish, and in the end there were so many left, this is obviously not normal consumption, this tense period, the other party is so sensitive that you dare to say such things.
It's delicious to have so much left, it's not fresh enough, you just eat it out and let the blood dry for a long time, you don't have to think about it to know that it's professional.
After Kurokawa's words came out, it was not only Suke whose face changed, but also the boss on the side.
If Jie's complexion only changed slightly, then the boss had changed dramatically, I saw that his eyes were wide open, his expression was hideous, and his chest was panting together, obviously his mood fluctuations were extremely violent.
Seeing this, Jie slowly retracted his sleeve with his right hand, and then lowered his head slightly, and two magatama instantly appeared in his invisible pupils.
After a while, the boss calmed down, and he said with a pale face: "Uchiha Suke, Shimura Kurokawa, the two of them are already thunderous to me, the super genius who graduated early from the ninja school, and it really deserves its reputation when I see it today." β
"My daughter was very eager when she heard about the deeds of the two, and she didn't want to eat for it, and she became more and more emaciated."
"I'm ashamed to say that my wife died early, I don't care about anything but this daughter, and I can pay any price for this."
"If you can, can you move to the cottage and accompany my daughter for a long time, I swear that if you agree, this matter will be settled, not only 30 million taels as a reward, but also another heavy reward."
The hoarse voice ended, and the boss exhaled and looked at the two, with a hint of anticipation in his complicated face.
Kurokawa's face was a little weird, this person was fine just now, why was it like this all of a sudden, not only was his face pale, but even his voice changed, as if he gave people a kind of powerless panic.
And what do you say that you can get 30 million taels by accompanying his daughter, and there is another thanks, this loser is not so defeated, how much is this store worth.
But if I have 30 million taels, wouldn't I no longer have to worry about the maintenance cost of the blade? Thinking of this, Kurokawa suddenly felt a little surprised in his heart.
Wait, I almost forgot about the big thing, according to the analysis just now, this store is the mastermind behind the scenes, then this guy is the mastermind of this matter, isn't it that he is a spy.
Kurokawa's face was grim, and he looked at the store manager coldly.
Kurokawa couldn't understand the manager's inexplicable words, but he understood.
The other party is afraid, afraid that the shadows will come to the door, and afraid that direct conflict with the intermediary will lead to encirclement and suppression.
He was worried, worried that he would not be able to escape this time, and that he would not be able to get out of Konoha even if he passed this level.
Judging from the instantaneous change in his expression and his sluggish demeanor, the other party may really have a daughter, of course, his daughter is definitely not in Konoha.
What he actually meant was that he hoped that he could buy them for 30 million and other things for half a day, and let the two of them go with him to a place where no one noticed and lock them up, of course, whether they would be disposed of directly, it was unknown.
After all, the strength of the two sides is unknown, and he can't guess whether the other party has the confidence to solve the two of them quietly and extremely quickly.
However, the daughter who wanted to stay at home, Yusuke and Kurokawa, agreed to his proposal, and it is very likely that the sentence of wanting to trap them for a long time is very true.
Of course, the premise of this speculation is that the other party really has a daughter.
Having said that, regardless of whether the other party has a woman or not, whether the proposal is true or not, it is absolutely impossible to agree to this kind of thing, you must know that he has already notified the pheasant.
Not to mention the ridiculous request of tying his hands, he will not consider it, but it is definitely not what he thinks about selling the village for 30 million taels and cutting off his future future.
He quietly closed the writing wheel, patted Kurokawa on the shoulder to signal him to be calm, and then smiled kindly at the boss.
Since the opponent did not raid, it is better not to expose this hole card, and it is best to delay it until the pheasant knife arrives.
"30 million taels! What kind of identity are we, just 3,000 taels is not enough. β
The person is not big, but the mouth is not small, Jiansuke did not directly refuse, the boss was happy in his heart, he thought for a moment, and said with sincerity: "As a ninja, there is nothing more attractive than secret arts, and there are a few tricks to suppress the unique skills, if the two agree, I am willing to give those secret techniques to the two of them." β
I also know how to do secret arts, it seems that the original identity of these people is not low, once the village can arrest him, I think there will be a lot of ninjutsu in the account, and I don't know if I, a participant, can get a share.
I guess it's enough to choke, but it's still possible for three generations to reward a few high-level ninjutsu.
"How's it going?" said it was two, but the boss only looked at Jie, and he could see it after a while, Kurokawa didn't say a word from beginning to end, that was a soy sauce player, no matter what.
"Well, it's not enough, it's just that it's a little hard for me." The interface is distressed.
"Not enough?"
The boss's face sank, he was just a special forbearance, and there were only these things that could be taken out, and there should be a limit to the lion's big mouth.
He thought for a moment and pondered for a moment and said, "Even if I can promise you more things, I think you won't necessarily believe it, and what I'm saying so far, as long as you agree now, I can pay you half in advance." β
"No, you're mistaken, I'm not continuing to ask for payment." Jie shook his head, and there was a tangle on his face, procrastinating for time, as long as it is reasonable, how can it be tedious.
"Tell me, what do you need?" Seeing that he was halfway through the words and did not fall into hesitation, a trace of irritability rose in the boss's heart.
"In that case, then I'll make it clear, I need you to provide me with three pieces of important information about you, you know the specific content, don't try to lie to me, if I hear the slightest doubt, then there is no need to talk about this matter."
"Being in Konoha, there are several Konoha ninjas in this shop, so I don't need to say more about the consequences." Jie glanced around vaguely, with a warning on his face.
"Great information about us, this is impossible, you want me to betray the village?" The boss's voice sank, and his face was very ugly.
"Hey, betraying the village? If you want to survive, isn't it necessary to make this choice? β
The interface squinted at him with a sneer and continued: "And once we make a deal with you, it will be quite a handle into your hands, who knows if you will poke this matter out after you leave, so hand over the information about you as well, so that we can have mutual scruples and complete the deal peacefully." β
In this .........way, after listening to Jie's words, the boss fell silent, indeed, the other party betrayed the interests of the village for his own selfishness, even if there is no evidence, this is a huge handle.
No one will let this kind of dead hole fall into the hands of others, and it seems inevitable to exchange information as a blackmail, but he always feels a little strange in his heart, as if there is a faint sense of crisis, what is it?
While the boss was deep in thought, a few corner guests stood up, watching them draw tickets from their wallets, presumably preparing to settle the bill.
At the same time, the door of the back kitchen suddenly opened, and I saw that the clerk who had a dispute with Mizuki was slowly walking out of it.
Seeing this, the three people who were talking in harmony just now were vigilant in their hearts at the same time.
The boss glanced at the two sides who were slowly approaching here, and a trace of anxiety appeared on his face: "I agreed to this matter, let's leave here first, and .............. Damn brute ....... β
Halfway through his words, he saw a huge fireball rushing towards him, and in a hurry, his unfinished words instantly changed to scolding.
Boom β
A huge roar accompanied by a brilliant fire broke out in an instant, and before the people in the store could react, the entire restaurant had already turned into a sea of fire.
Fortunately, the center of the outbreak of the fire was the boss and the kitchen behind him, so the dining place was only shattered by the high temperature air wave, and did not cause large-scale casualties, of course, it is inevitable that a few ordinary people were burned by the high temperature.
"βenemy attack, evacuation of the crowd."
The ninjas who reacted around them roared and quickly moved closer to the place where the billowing black smoke was emitting.
Inside, the palatial decoration has long been turned into ashes, and the collapsed walls and broken tables and chairs are all pushed to both sides, this extremely destructive scene, it's hard to imagine that it was just a ninjutsu.
I don't know what the flames are burning, and the thick smoke has completely enveloped the store.
The crackling sound that sounded from time to time suggested that there were still people inside.
