Chapter 157: Orthodoxy
Oni no Kuni Intelligence and Security Supervision Department, 3rd basement floor data room.
There are about several hundred people who are stationed in this department.
The only thing they do here is to keep the intelligence agencies of the entire Oni no Kuni running 24 hours a day, all year round.
Although it is not necessary to be ready to go to the battlefield at any time, the personnel working here are also under tremendous pressure due to the difficulty of their work.
Every moment there will be new information flowing in from the outside branches, and then the new information that has been sorted out will be sent to the corresponding personnel accurately in the first time, but any mistake in one of them may cause the country of ghosts to suffer a huge loss of profits.
As a result, even with hundreds of permanent employees, the working environment here is often stressful due to the sheer volume and complexity of the information processed.
That being said, at the moment none of this has much to do with Kakashi.
He was parachuted into this department by Shiraishi to serve as a so-called 'security advisor', but the most important job at the moment is not to directly participate in the same working environment as the rest of the people, but to thoroughly understand the important information that the Oni no Kuni has obtained so far.
Then by the way, supervise the usual working attitude of the staff here, whether there are defects.
Although it does not have the real power to directly arrest or transfer personnel, the fact that it can be 'up to heaven to hear' is enough to prove that this position is not as simple as imagined.
Because the actual person in charge of Kakashi is Shiraishi, who is the Minister of Military Affairs, and he is a very close minister, basically only a person who is absolutely loyal and reliable in handling affairs can have a trace in this position.
Therefore, for Kakashi, the most important job at the moment is to read a lot of information, and to know these things by heart, even if he can't read them by heart, he must find the corresponding information to collect at the first time in an emergency.
From this point of view, the importance of this position is self-evident.
Especially on the road of looking to the future, there are not only various channels for promotion as "security advisers", but some of them even go directly to the core of the military.
After visiting Sasuke, he spent his time in the basement of the Ministry of Intelligence reading the collection.
The intelligence system of the country of ghosts is very large, and it is more complete than the intelligence system of Konoha, and the amount of information collected is also above Konoha.
Especially in terms of details, some of the information included in it seems that people are directly involved in the scene, which makes people feel incredible.
The sound of light footsteps came from the side, and Kakashi looked up, and it was a data room administrator who came over.
"Kakashi-san, Shiraishi-sama asked you to come over."
"I see."
Kakashi simply put the unfinished information in its place and left the quiet room.
Slowly came to Shiraishi's office, about half an hour later.
Judging from the attitude of the message, it was not an important matter in a hurry, so Kakashi walked all the way and did not appear to be very eager.
After hearing a 'come in,' Kakashi pushed the door open and entered the office.
Sure enough, I saw Shiraishi working the table.
As the Minister of War, the burden on his body is not easy.
I just don't know if it's an ontology here.
Shiraishi, who is both the Minister of War and a researcher, does not spend all his time in the office and deals with heavy official duties, but also leaves a shadow clone to work in his place from time to time, and the main body goes to the research room to carry out research tasks.
Shiraishi didn't say anything about Kakashi's lateness and attitude, it was just a trivial matter, and what he asked Kakashi to do at this time was not a big thing that could not be delayed.
"How's that for Sasuke Uchiha? Has the situation stabilized?"
Shiraishi asked naturally not Sasuke's physical injury, even if it was a serious injury, even if it was a short leg
arm, Shiraishi can also heal back.
What he was asking about was Sasuke's state of mind at this time.
"After venting, I can be considered stable. It seems that after this incident, he has a deep understanding of where his limit is at this time. I think the next planning will be much more cautious and serious."
Kakashi had already learned about the specific things from Obito, including Sasuke's defeat at Naruto's hands, and he also had a deep understanding.
In his opinion, Sasuke's simple revenge on Konoha would have been caught as soon as he entered and became a guinea pig on the operating table.
Even if Konoha's current power is shaved again and again, it is still a behemoth for Sasuke, who has just awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
If you were fighting guerrilla warfare outside, you might still have a chance of winning, and when you rush into the Konoha headquarters, you probably didn't think that you would be able to get out of it alive in the first place.
Kakashi grasped Sasuke's mind very accurately.
"That's good, then I won't go over and ask ***. Ruri will probably visit him in person to find out what is going on with him at this time."
After all, the rising star of the Uchiha clan, Ruri, as the patriarch, naturally has high hopes for a young man like Sasuke.
Although Sasuke has a lot of flaws, the Uchiha clan, which is known for their strength, can perfectly cover up other flaws as long as their strength is enough.
No matter how chaotic this world is, strong force is always an important weapon to protect individuals, families, and countries.
"So, what are you doing when you call me here?"
Kakashi asked straight to the point.
As a security adviser to the intelligence services, Kakashi's task is not heavy, but it is not small.
After all, with such a huge amount of information, even if it only swept through the important parts, it would take at least a month or more.
"Do you know what the outside world is like?"
Shiraishi didn't answer directly, but asked.
Kakashi pondered his words, unable to guess Shiraishi's intentions at this time, so he could only reply, "I don't dare to say that I know ten percent, but seven or eight percent do."
Even if it is important information, Kakashi will prioritize reading the important information that has been unfolding in recent years, and be the first to collect and record it.
By Shiraishi, he refers to the battlefield of a small country outside of the Oni Country, where the Oni Country controls behind the scenes.
Generally speaking, there are very few direct collisions between large powers after the establishment of the era of one country and one village.
Now, more than 60 years later, there have been only four large-scale collisions between such great powers, that is, four ninja wars.
Most of the time, the game between large countries is played on the chessboard by remotely controlling small countries behind the scenes, as chess players.
According to what Kakashi has learned, the Oni no Kuni has now made direct industrial investments in fifteen small countries, and there are countless indirect ones.
Compared with large countries, the number of small countries is as large as the carp crossing the river.
Some small countries, with only one castle and several villages and towns-sized territories, can also be called a country.
"That's good. There are a few countries where there is a problem with the intelligence agencies, and the secret problem cannot be seen on the literal ground, so I would like you to take someone over and check the countries on the list and check the intelligence system that has been set up there. By the way, let's see if there are any little mice in there."
Kakashi is not only a security advisor set up by Shiraishi in the intelligence department, but also has experience as a spy and the head of the Konoha Shadow Department.
In this matter, Kakashi's ability to do things is not the best in the country of ghosts, but at least it will make Shiraishi feel at ease.
The intelligence department has always been an extremely important piece of the puzzle in the blueprint of the white stone.
The beginning and preparation of any operation is inseparable from all kinds of intelligence information gathered.
In this place, if there is any problem, it is not allowed by Shiraishi, and he will not be soft on the problem personnel when necessary.
"It can be
Yes, when will you go? Now?"
Kakashi glanced at the list handed over by Shiraishi, which mentioned the intelligence subdivisions of more than a dozen countries, and there were as many as five or six of them highlighted in red circles.
It can take a lot of time to check them all.
Shiraishi pondered for a moment and said, "It's best to draw the personnel yourself from the Intelligence Department within three days."
Kakashi nodded and left Shiraishi's office.
◎
The injury healed faster than Sasuke had imagined, and it would have taken him a week to heal according to his guess, but on the third day, Sasuke was able to get out of bed. Although he has not fully recovered, at least he has no obstacles in his movements, and the strength he can use can reach six or seven percent of his heyday, and he no longer needs to lie on the hospital bed and be cared for by the nursing staff.
From this point of view, the medical technology of the Oni no Kuni is indeed very developed, and a village like Otoin Village cannot be compared to it at all. In the past, he was hospitalized with an injury at Orochimaru's place, and it took much longer to recover than he did now.
During this period, the only people who came to visit him, except for Kakashi and the patriarch of the Uchiha clan in the country of demons, Uchiha Ruri, were the only ones who evacuated Konoha and rushed back from the country of fire and a few of the four.
As the ones who attracted Konoha firepower from the outside during his attack on Konoha during his attack, it was also very difficult to play hide and seek with Konoha ninjas in the land of fire for a while. If it weren't for Shigego as their finale hole card, it would probably be surrounded by the Konoha ninja and the whole army would be wiped out.
As a village under the rule of a big country, although the individual Konoha ninja cannot be compared with a ninja like Sasuke, for a ninja at the level of the four, once they fall into the encirclement, it is basically a situation of ten deaths.
And the four were originally a few elite ninjas in Otokuin Village, except for Orochimaru, even so, they were still surrounded and suppressed by the Konoha patrol force, and they couldn't meet it head-on, it is conceivable that the strength gap between large and small countries is not easy to erase such a difference in strength.
In short, the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that several of them are under the protection of Shigego, and all of them have come back alive without danger.
"By the way, what about the shrine maiden of the Demon Country? Why didn't you see her?"
After the four of them left, only Sasuke and Shigego were left in the ward.
Compared to his relationship with the four superiors and subordinates, the relationship between him and Shigego is more like a friend than his superiors and subordinates, so the tone of his speech has become much more casual.
"You mean Hoshino shrine maiden? After she came back, I didn't see her much, probably back to my own team."
Shigego thought about it for a moment and said his guess.
The Hoshino shrine maiden who followed their team was not originally from their side, but it was only to ensure that there was an existence like a medical ninja in the team, so she was brought by An***.
Now that Sasuke will not have any new actions for the time being, then the other party naturally has no reason to stay.
"Really?"
Sasuke's tone was rather pitiful.
That Hoshino shrine maiden's medical ninjutsu is very superb, and among all the medical ninjas Sasuke has seen, the other party's medical ninjutsu is also a very superb category.
All the injured personnel in this operation were contracted by her, and she won everyone's respect with her superb medical ninjutsu. Although the time spent together was very short, the overall relationship was quite pleasant.
Originally, according to his idea, he hoped that the other party would be able to stay in his team even after the operation, and continue to contribute his medical ability to his team.
It is precisely because he is the main combat officer that Sasuke understands the importance of medical ninja even more.
When necessary, they can also serve as a key turning point in the reversal of the outcome of the entire battlefield.
"So, Sasuke, do you have any new plans? I've looked at the recent newspaper and you've killed two of Konoha's advisors, but that ninja's Dark Shimura Danzou seems to be alive and well in Konoha."
Shigego asked.
For the person of Tuanzang, Shigego is no stranger.
Either from
Orochimaru's side, or Sasuke's side, he knows a lot about this person.
Konoha ninjas who concentrate the dark side of the ninja world.
The Konoha Root led by him is a ruthless and cold-blooded killing group in the dark.
In a way, he is the real culprit who destroyed the Konoha Uchiha clan.
"Regarding the revenge against Danzang, it is temporarily suspended. When I have a plan, I will go to Konoha again and personally take off his head and pay tribute to the dead people."
Sasuke's tone turned cold suddenly.
Killing the two advisors, on the one hand, made him vent a lot of negative emotions in his heart, but the fact that Tuan Zang is still alive is a little unpleasant while venting, and there is always a feeling of unsmoothness in his throat.
He won't be so reckless next time, though.
This time, for his revenge, the country of ghosts can be said to have arranged a lot of manpower and material resources, providing him with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But such an opportunity, even in the country of ghosts, it is impossible to arrange a second time for his personal revenge.
In the final analysis, now he is just the last descendant of the Konoha Uchiha clan, and he is only a ninja position on the side of the demon *** side. Although Shangnin is an elite in the *** side of the ghost, there are hundreds of people in such an elite ghost country, and in general, people are still soft-spoken.
If you want to go further, gain status and the ability to take revenge on Danzang, you must continue to climb up.
A ninja position, but there is no way to meet his needs.
Thankfully, compared to the rest of the Shinobi, he is not only backed by the Uchiha clan of the Oni Country, but also has his own team of cronies, so it is not too difficult to start.
With this kind of thinking, Sasuke instantly became much clearer about the future path.
Whether it is the eternal eye, or the right to speak on the same level as strength, it should be grasped in the hand.
"Is that so? In that case, I can take a break."
Shigego nodded, following Sasuke out for a while, his spirit was also a little tired.
"There is no action for the time being, and the rest of the time is up to you. In addition, as for the pet home you mentioned earlier, I have already had a store set up on the commercial street side of Ziyuan City."
Sasuke has always kept in mind the idea of Shigego's desire for a pet store.
Later, he told Shigego the name of the pet store so that he could visit it whenever he could.
After that, Sasuke was discharged from the hospital and left the military jurisdiction for the southern suburbs of Shion Castle.
Coming to a mountain gate on the outskirts, Sasuke stopped and looked at the red torii gates on both sides, where a stone monument stood on the left side with the words "Nanga Shrine" written on it, surrounded by lush green trees.
In the scorching summer day, the light is full, and the birds chirp in the ears in the trees.
The Nanga Shrine here is naturally not the Nanga Shrine established in Konoha Village.
It's the Uchiha clan of the country of ghosts, and the Nanga Shrine that has been re-established by taking over a piece of land.
In the history of the Uchiha clan, Nanga Shrine, which is the place of the clan, has migrated many times due to war, and the most recent migration is more than 60 years ago at the end of the Warring States Period, the beginning of the Konoha era, standing in Konoha Village.
However, the Nanga Shrine in Konoha Village has been in decline for many years in the extermination of the Uchiha clan before ***.
When he attacked Konoha before, he glanced from afar, where it was overgrown with weeds, and many of the buildings had long been abandoned and no one cared about.
It won't be long before it will be demolished by the people of Konoha.
Including those of the Uchiha clan that contain his precious childhood memories.
Taking a deep breath, Sasuke threw away all the distractions in his mind and stepped down the steps along the torii gate and walked upward.
When I arrived at the shrine at the top of the mountain, I found that it was covered with clouds and mist, and even the strong sunlight above my head could not penetrate it, and even in the hot summer, it maintained a refreshing and cool atmosphere.
In the mist, two figures slowly walked out.
One of them was dressed in lacquer
The black ninja costume is Ruri.
The other person, Sasuke, also knew him.
Dressed in a red and white shrine maiden costume, with long black hair falling down, and a fox mask with thick oil paint on her face, she was none other than the Hoshino shrine maiden who had joined his team before.
At this time, the Hoshino shrine maiden, like Ruri, opened a pair of bright red three-hooked jade writing wheel eyes, pierced through the thin mist, and shone in the eye hole of the mask. Standing quietly beside Liuli, her red eyes had a demagogic mystery.
Seeing this scene, Sasuke still didn't understand the true identity of Hoshino Shrine Maiden.
The other party, like himself, is a ninja who has inherited the blood of the Uchiha, and the eyes have evolved to the level of Sangotama.
The mysterious aura that fluctuates all over the body, the strength is definitely extraordinary, at least it is the beginning of the above forbearance.
"I see, is she from here?"
Sasuke said suddenly.
What kind of wandering witch, such an identity is fake, and the other party should be the witch on duty stationed at Nanga Shrine.
In the past, although the name of the shrine was upheld, the staff on duty were basically non-ninja idlers.
And to the country of ghosts, probably to follow the local customs and develop into a real shrine.
"Come in, *** is about to begin."
After saying that, Ruri took the Hoshino shrine maiden and turned around and walked towards the shrine.
Sasuke didn't hesitate and followed in the footsteps of the two.
This *** is very important to him, because it means that he is now officially included in the Uchiha system of the Oni Country, and in the future, he will also be orthodox with the clan here, rather than the so-called Konoha Uchiha last descendant.
As for Konoha's Uchiha...... Just let the wind go.
◎
Walking out of Minamiga Shrine was already a few hours later.
The light and shadow of dusk envelop the earth, and the breeze in the forest blows the leaves, bringing a bit of comfortable refreshment.
However, as soon as I arrived at the mountain gate, I found that there were already people standing next to the trees on one side, waiting for me to arrive.
"It seems that you are recovering well, you are able to move freely, and you are recovering faster than I thought."
"Is there anything wrong with me suddenly coming for me at this time, Kakashi?"
Sasuke looked at the man with his back to the tree and said the other's name.
He has always liked to explain his intentions directly, and he does not like to use roundabout rhetoric.
"Indeed, I have taken over an investigation mission that I am out on, and I would like to invite you to join me."
Kakashi also knew Sasuke's personality, so he directly stated his intentions.
"Investigative mission?"
"There are some hidden dangers in the intelligence system in some areas outside the country of ghosts, so I asked me to investigate the cause of the problem. If there are rats, get rid of them."
After Kakashi said this, he didn't wait for Sasuke's side to respond, and continued to say quickly, "Don't be too busy refusing yet, I've heard about the Eternal Eye as well. Due to the lack of a complete finished product here, the risk is unknown, and experimental simulations are underway over there, so they will not transplant it to you so soon."
Hearing Kakashi say this, Sasuke frowned, and then loosened up again.
Indeed, there is a risk that there will be some kind of uncontrollable risk of conducting experiments without a complete finished product as a target observation.
If the failure leads to the destruction of the kaleidoscope writing wheel, the gain outweighs the loss.
"When are you leaving?"
Since the Eternal Eye can't be obtained in a short period of time, Sasuke is also inconvenient for Kakashi's request.
Moreover, in any case, such an attendance task can be regarded as a qualification, and it is also an important intelligence system, and if it is completed, the resume will be much brighter.
"Tomorrow morning, you'll have a night to prepare. In addition, we must be mentally prepared that some intelligence systems are built in countries where war has broken out, and some images are somewhat inappropriate."
Before Kakashi left, he reminded Sasuke of this
。
Sasuke scoffed at this.
"Hmph, don't underestimate me, I'm not Naruto's stupid guy who always lives in his dreams."
It's just a battlefield, and the real hell he has already experienced.
Therefore, no matter what kind of battlefield he encounters, his heart will be as hard as iron, and he will not waver in the slightest.
Kakashi shrugged his shoulders helplessly and turned away.
