Chapter 532 Assassination
Although the higher-ups of the fog were already very impressed by Konoha's conditions, Danzo's clumsy performance during the negotiation process gave them another idea, that is, to negotiate to recover the goods and ships that had been seized by the Bear Country before.
They believe that since Danzou's negotiation skills are so clumsy, and Konoha has a request for himself, it is likely that Kigakure will take this opportunity to get more benefits from the negotiating table. And the longer it dragged on, the better it would be for them, because the success of the other two missions would definitely irritate Danzo, and he would most likely have to compromise in order to complete the mission as soon as possible.
So the two sides began a long negotiation process, at first Tuan Zang's attitude was not tough and there was no sign of relenting, as time passed, Tuan Zang gradually became impatient, and often threatened to start a war, but the more he was like this, the more fearless the higher-level of the foggy hidden, the biting dog did not bark, they were sure that Tuan Zang would never really provoke a war, that would only lead to the failure of his mission.
But no one knew that Tuan Zang, who was extremely anxious at the negotiation table during the day, was in frequent contact with the personnel of the secret branch at night, and was preparing his own plan in an orderly manner.
Seeing that this negotiation has been secured, the high-level of the fog has completely relaxed their vigilance against the Konoha Mission, and even the intensity of covert surveillance is very small, just perfunctory in form, resulting in the group that is good at stealth and counter-reconnaissance in and out of the foggy village every night, and frequently contacts and conspires with the underworld people, but it has never been detected.
Unbeknownst to the ninjas of the Fog Hide, a huge conspiracy against the entire Fog Hidden Village was slowly brewing.
In the dead of night, most of them had fallen asleep, and in the dark room, lying on the bed, Tuan Zang suddenly opened his one eye, and his sharp eyes flashed with a cold light.
Tuan Zang has been lying in bed and pretending to sleep, after the past few days of preparation, the whole plan has reached the most critical part, and he must take action himself tonight.
It is likely that Kiristin, who is in charge of spying on the surreptitious surveillance, is dozing off afterwards, but Danzou discreetly leaves a doppelganger on the bed. Although it is just a simple clone that can be spotted once it gets close, it is perfect for confusing surveillance personnel who are observing from a distance.
After changing into his night clothes, Danzo quietly disappeared into the room.
With the assistance of the wind attribute Chakra, Danzang quickly shuttled through the Fog Hidden Village, his speed was like the wind, and with the cover of the night, it was almost imperceptible.
After this period of observation, Tuan Zang had already figured out the terrain in Wuyin Village, so he quickly came to his destination.
It was a small courtyard that was almost indistinguishable from the homes of ordinary villagers, and if it weren't for repeated confirmations, Danzou really couldn't believe that this was the residence of three generations of Mizukage.
The third generation of Mizukage was born in a civilian family, and with his own efforts and talents, the second generation of Mizukage inherited the position of Mizukage after his death.
Although this Mizukage did not have any brilliant achievements, he was ordered to subdue and balance all the forces in the village with his own wrists, and led the Fog Hidden Village to survive the crisis of the First Ninja World War and recover its vitality.
Since his succession to the throne, three generations of Mizukage have worked hard for the village, diligent in government affairs, and will work until late at night almost every day. Years of fatigue and overdraft have caused his health to deteriorate and deteriorate, and now he has run out of oil.
As far as Tuan Zang knows, this Mizukage has dedicated almost his life to Wuyin Village, and now he is alone and has not started a family, even in terms of material life, he is also very simple, and he is really an admirable character.
However, for the sake of Konoha's interests, Tuan Zang must kill the other party today!
Yes, after such a long period of careful preparation, Danzou is going to personally assassinate the three generations of Mizukage, which is the most crucial part of Rope Tree's plan!
On the periphery of the three generations of Mizukage's residence, dozens of members of the dark department who had been lurking for a long time waited until Danzou arrived and quietly appeared beside him.
Tuan Zang looked at these members of the dark department with a complicated expression, everyone here is a ninja who is proficient in assassination, and at least there is the strength of the elite ninja, even the upper ninja has five! This team is definitely an elite ace if it is placed at the root, but such a luxurious lineup is just a few assassination squadrons standing in the shadows! This shows how strong the dark side is under the rule of the rope tree!
Danzou actually wanted to get rid of all these people with the help of the fog hide, but thinking that once he was exposed, he would become an outcast and suffer the serious consequences of being chased and killed by the fog ninja village, so he couldn't press this tempting idea with all his might.
Tuan Zang looked at the quiet residence opposite by the moonlight, and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation?"
"Everything is normal, Mizukage has returned, and he just fell asleep." A shadow whispered a brief reply.
"So it's just the right time, act now!"
Tuan Zang gave an order, and immediately rushed to the opposite courtyard.
Dozens of shadows followed closely behind Tuan Zang and quickly flipped into the small courtyard, and the whole process did not make the slightest sound.
After entering the small courtyard, the darkness quickly dispersed and ran towards the famous corners of the courtyard.
After a long period of investigation, the dark department has already figured out the layout of the small courtyard and the distribution of guards.
Kunai, shuriken, and Chiben accurately hit the vital points everywhere, and soon the smell of blood spread in the air, and the unprepared mist ninja died under the deadly sneak attack. There was no sound during the whole process, only a slight muffled grunt and the "pop" sound of the sharp breaking body sounded sporadically.
After entering the small courtyard, Danzo ignored the actions of the dark department, and instead went straight to the bedroom of the three generations of Mizukage.
Danzang slowly twisted the handle, gently opened the door, and quickly entered the bedroom, the whole process without making any sound.
The whole room was filled with the smell of herbs, and after Danzou closed the door, he slowly approached Mizukage's bed, and even in the darkness he could see a humanoid figure lying on his back.
As he approached the edge of the bed, he saw Tuan Zang slash at the figure's neck with both hands, and with his movements, an invisible long knife composed of Wind Escape Chakra appeared out of thin air.
This is the Muji ninjutsu developed by Danzang to combine changes in nature and form, and it is not as powerful as the Spiral Pill, but it is better to launch quickly and secretly, a ninjutsu suitable for assassination, and in the original book, Danzang used this technique to pierce Sasuke's chest.
The sharp, invisible blade flew towards its target, and without making a sound, the figure and the bed split in two, collapsing downward.
