"I didn't expect it to be such a troublesome task this time."

Looking at the scroll in his hand, Liuyu's face looked very solemn. This kind of scroll printed with the word top secret is often extremely difficult in S-class missions, and most of them are missions such as assassinating the leader of a village, a great name of a great country, or chasing down an S-class traitor.

Back in his room, Ryuha gently opened the scroll.

[Mission Type: Assassination. 】

[Objective: Former Minister of Finance of the Fire Country. Guangjiu Shicheng. 】

[Mission location; When the target character travels to the Land of Fire, they can travel anywhere in Cedar Castle. 】

[Specific requirements: none, specific arrangements by the planner. 】

[Precautions: Enemy Escorts. 】

When you open the scroll, the first thing that catches Ryuha's eye is a simple description of the mission. Seeing this, Ryu Yu's brows furrowed slightly, the former Chancellor of the Fire Country, although he is a big man, but assassinating such a person doesn't seem to be enough for an S-level task!

Ryu continued to look down, and when she saw the back, Ryu slowly understood what this mission was all about.

This Hisashi City was already bought by the Land of Thunder when he was still the Minister of Finance of the Fire Country, and sold a large number of Fire Country secrets. And in the Third Ninja World War, he took advantage of his status and position to deduct and delay the delivery of various materials provided to Konoha by the Fire Country, which indirectly caused Konoha to pay more casualties.

And use his power to support the hostile activities of the Land of Thunder, and the last time the group of Yunyin ninjas who infiltrated the Fire City and attempted to assassinate the daimyo at the Fire Emperor Festival sacrifice were the ones he helped to pick up and enter the city.

After the assassination failed, Hikaku Castle was placed under suspicion, and it was not long before the daimyo was dismissed from his post as chancellor of the exchequer due to his advanced age. After the investigation of the dark department, the identity of the traitor of Jiuguang Shicheng has been determined.

However, this is a political scandal in the Fire Nation after all, so neither Konoha nor the Fire Nation's higher-ups plan to deal with him directly, but instead plan to find an opportunity to assassinate him. And in the process of assassination, not too many people should know about it, and after the assassination is successful, it will be planted to other hostile countries.

However, Kumitsu City was vigorously protected by the Cloud Hidden side, and several elite Cloud Hidden ninjas were installed among his bodyguards, and several waves of assassins sent by the Daimyo were all lost.

Now Kumitoki City also knew that the Fire Nation was no longer safe, so it began to plan to escape from the Fire Nation. According to the Ministry of Intelligence, when the time comes, there will be infiltrated cloud hidden ninjas in the northeastern city of the Fire Country, "Shisugi Castle".

As the former Minister of Finance, Kumitsu Tokijo has a lot of secrets of the Fire Country, as well as a large amount of money, and if he defects, it will pose a great threat to the Fire Country, so the Daimyo ordered Konoha to intercept and kill Kumitsu Tokijo before Kumitsu Tokijo ran to Tokisugi Castle.

Seeing this, it is not difficult for Ryuyu to understand why this mission is at the top secret level. But Liu Yu couldn't help but complain about how long it was, those high-level people were still worried about the face of a big country, and it was not good to directly mobilize heavy troops to forcibly capture Jiuguang Shicheng?

But complaining and complaining, Liuyu still has to carry out the task honestly. For Ryuha, this mission is actually not that difficult, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the few cloud hidden ninjas who act as the bodyguards of Jiuguang Shicheng.

However, the ordinary Yunyin ninja Liuyu is not in her eyes, with her current strength, only a few people in Yunyin Village such as Abby's group can pose a threat to her.

But we still have to hurry, according to the investigation of the Ministry of Intelligence, Jiuguang Shicheng has already begun to set off for Shisugi City, and if he wants to intercept and kill them before he arrives at Shisugi City, it is better to leave early.

After reading the mission, as is customary, Ryuha took out a lighter and burned it.

"Is there another mission?"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded softly in Ryuyu's ears. Love to nibble on books

"Hmm!"

Liuyu hummed lightly, and when she heard this voice, she knew that it was Caoqian Futang. When Ryu Yu finished burning the scroll, he casually raised his head and looked at it, but this time he looked up, Ryu couldn't help but widen his eyes. At this time, she noticed that Cao Qianfu Tang was not wearing the familiar dark mask, and he was still wearing a regular suit, after Cao Qian Fu Tang joined the dark department, she hadn't seen him dressed like this for a long time.

"Take a vacation!"

Looking at Ryu's slightly shocked look, Grass Thousand Futang explained lightly.

"That's not a coincidence!"

Hearing this, Liu Yu said helplessly, it was rare for Caoqian Futang to take a vacation, but he was about to go out on a mission, which was really not a coincidence! I don't know if the old man of the third generation did it on purpose.

"What is this?"

At this time, Cao Qianfutang pointed to the gilded envelope on Ryuha's table and asked.

"An invitation letter from the Daimyo, inviting me to join the guardian ninja. What do you think? Are you interested, do you want me to recommend you to join the guardian ninja? ”

Ryuha replied casually, but then Ryuha seemed to think of something, and her tone became excited. I don't have time to join the Guardian Ninja, but the Grass Thousand Futang has it! Although the Grass Thousand Fudo is still serving in the Shadow Department, I believe that in the face of the conscription of the Daimyo of the Fire Country, the Three Hokages will not object.

Thinking of this, Ryuyu couldn't help but secretly apologize to Asma in her heart. In the original book, it was Asma who was favored by the daimyo and was recruited to become the Guardian Ninja Twelve. But in this life, because of Ryuha's birth, the daimyo turned all his interest on Ryuha, and Asma didn't receive any invitation to protect the ninja at all.

If this time the grass Qianfu Hall really became a guardian ninja, maybe Asma would really have to say goodbye to the guardian ninja forever. As for Jilu and Hema, Asma's old buddies in the original book may also become passers-by, and Asma will no longer have that piece of "fire" waist cloth around his waist in the future.

........

In the dark basement at the root, Tuanzang, who was covered in bandages, gently knocked his crutches and asked coldly, "Is it all done?" ”

"The scrolls have been replaced!"

As Tuan Zang's cold words fell, a dark man wearing a patterned cat mask flashed out and said respectfully while kneeling in front of Tuan Zang. With that, the shadow took off the patterned cat mask, and then put on a root mask.

Hearing this answer, Tuan Zang nodded with satisfaction, a hint of gloom flashed in the corner of his eyes, and then with a wave of his hand, the dark man flashed away.

In the Orochimaru defection incident, Ryuyu undoubtedly brushed another wave of prestige, and there were more and more people in the village who supported Ryuyu, but this also made Tuan Zang even more intolerant of Ryu's thorn in the side.

Originally, there was a lot of cooperation between Danzang and Orochimaru, and some of Orochimaru's test subjects were even captured by the roots of Danzang.

For Orochimaru, Danzang is more about utilization. He also planned to take advantage of a certain opportunity to leak the news of Orochimaru's human taboo experiments to the three Hokages to force Orochimaru to defect. But there is a premise for all this, that is, Tuan Zang must first dispose of the information related to himself in Orochimaru's hands.

But Ryuha's action forced Orochimaru to defect in advance, and with the intervention of the Hokage's direct shadows, a lot of information about the cooperation with Orochimaru that was too late to destroy also fell into the hands of Sarutobi Hichi, which also made the relationship between the two more intense to a certain extent. Through this incident, Tuan Zang also held a grudge against Ryuha in his heart.

Especially now, the daimyo actually sent an invitation to Kusahina to protect the ninja. If this Kusachi Ryuha really became a guardian ninja and obtained the support of the high-level of the Fire Country, then the identity of the next generation of Hokage of Ryuwa is almost a certainty. In this regard, Danzang must take some necessary action.
