Storm Reappears
"Lord Qi, Lord Fuqiu is looking for you.”Takeuchi, the number one assistant in the laboratory, knocked on the door of my private laboratory.
"Got it." He responded and began to quickly destroy the information and remove the traces of the experimental equipment.
Ten minutes later, I walked out of the laboratory. I felt that the afternoon sun was particularly dazzling. I couldn't help but squint my eyes. After making a few turns, I saw Fuqiu waiting outside the police cordon not far away.
"Trouble?" I raised my eyebrows and sounded a little impatient. The experiment had already reached a critical stage, and this kind of interruption was unbearable.
"Nanmu has defected!" Fuqiu threw out a heavy bomb.
"What happened?" To be honest, I was shocked. With Nanmu's personality, how could he…
"I'm not sure yet. The village has already given the order to send several teams to pursue Nanmu. You are also on the list of people recruited by the village because you were once a member of Nanmu. The situation was…as for the reason why Nanmu had defected, it was still unclear.”Fuqiu's tone was a little strange.
"Why are you looking for me to kill Nanmu? This was against the rules! The other two guys are going too?" I sensed something unusual from Fuqiu's tone and the news itself.
"Yes, Kasai Hinata and Asuke Nohara will go too. The three of you will temporarily form a small team, and you will be the temporary leader. After Mu Ye gave the order, the Elders Guild also agreed.”
"Hmph, those old fellows want to provoke me again, right? What is the Second Elder's attitude?" My current identity and status were different from before, and I was also Fuqiu's political ally. There were some things that I could say to him. This was a boring game. Was killing the former captain enough to show his magnanimity?
"The Great Elder remained silent, and the Second Elder did not object either.”Fuqiu's words were very knowledgeable, and I would have to figure out the content myself.
"Gathering point?" I already have a plan.
"The usual place." At the same time, he handed me a ticket.
"Got it." After saying that, I turned around and left.
"There's no need for it to be so early. Although Ayaka Hinata should have already received the news, that brat who's trying to curry favor with the Elders Guild shouldn't be so fast.”Fuqiu hurried up and said.
"It doesn't matter. Shouldn't I be more proactive when dealing with the elders 'requests? Don't they want to see my tolerance? Let them see it well enough!" My tone carried a trace of resentment. I smiled brightly and raised my left eyebrow slightly. This was a sign of concealing my killing intent.
"Up to you." Fuqiu said angrily and turned to leave.
I always had Netherworld and my ninja bag with me, so I didn't have much to prepare. I just needed to gather at the entrance. The reason why he went so early was to see if he could exchange information with Karen without Aokosuke. He believed that Karen would have the same thoughts.
Sure enough, I could see Xiang Cai waiting at the entrance from afar. However, there were a few Jounin and Chuonin not far from her. It seemed that Mu Ye was quite generous this time.
"Qijun, do you have a mission?" Now, there was another team guarding the door. The captain was called Uchiha Keiko, the only female captain in the family. She was considered the most powerful and outstanding woman in Fuqiu's generation.
"Nothing, Miss Mirror. He was just going to hunt down a traitor Jounin.”I didn't care about the mission at all and told them about it, completely ignoring the angry looks on everyone's faces.
"Then I wish Qijun success.”Keiko chuckled and retreated. To be able to reach such a position as a woman, she was naturally not an ordinary person. In some aspects, she was even stronger than Kawada, just like how she knew when to advance and retreat.
"Let's go." I casually nailed the exit token to the door and waved at Ayaka Hinata. I took the lead and ran out of the door without waiting for Aokosuke, who had yet to arrive. There were still more than ten minutes before the gathering time.
Xiang Cai followed him silently.
"That's enough, Qijun. It's impossible for anyone to follow us.”After two hours of running at full speed, Xiang Cai stopped and said,"
"I haven't been able to contact them recently. How's the situation recently?”I asked.
"After your engagement, I was also assigned by the family to a guy called Shinichi Hinata. He is the grandnephew of the great elder of the Hinata family. There was nothing else to say. It was just some ordinary things. As for the problem of experimental research, it was not clear here. What about you?" Xiang Cai briefly explained her situation before asking me.
"After I got engaged, I became the successor of the second elder of the Uchiha clan and became a Jounin. He had come into contact with some of the core information of the family. The situation was…he was not sure about the rest. Any other questions?" I also briefly explained my situation and told her some top-secret information about the Uchiha clan.
"No, I used the time when the family relaxed their control after my engagement and some of the resources I managed in the medical class in the past two years to establish a small intelligence network in Muye. He had also collected some information, which happened to contain some hidden information about Nanmu's rebellion.”Kasai was really something. She could do something under the eyes of the Hinata family and Tsunete.
"Tell me." I'm also a little curious.
"It's like this…According to the information, Nanmu's behavior has been abnormal ever since he met Qian Yue.”Xiang Cai listed out the information and analyzed them one by one.
" That's interesting. About a year ago, when I was still guarding the gate, one night…" Karen's words gave me some inspiration. Naturally, I told her about the day I saw Maeyoshi bring Ikeda's katana out.
"That's right. It seems that this matter has something to do with Ikeda. Even if he died, he would never betray Mu Ye.”Xiang Cai pondered. To be honest, compared to playing tricks, I was far from being a match for her.
"Yes, no matter what the reason is, Qian Yue played a very disgraceful role in this. And no matter what the truth is, Nanmu is definitely dead this time.”I defined it indifferently. With my current strength and the special ability of the Shaburin Eye, I really don't care about ordinary Jounin.
"Don't be careless, Qijun. Although you're strong now, you're far from being able to ignore intelligence. I can smell some conspiracy from this matter!”After Xiang Cai finished thinking, her face flashed with confidence.
"Oh, right, I've been a little proud recently.”After she mentioned it, I realized that there was indeed a problem with my current mentality.
"Think about it. Nanmu Zaimoye is just a Jounin. His strength is not outstanding, and he doesn't have any family power. What is there to be concerned about? It was also impossible for Sakura and Kaori to be involved.”Xiang Cai glanced at me before adding,
"Qian Yue must have told him some incredible secret to be able to make Nan Mu defect. Although Qian Yue is a member of the Elder Council, he is only a member of the outer circle. Moreover, after being humiliated by you repeatedly, his reputation has plummeted, and his value has plummeted. No matter how important Saku Kazuka was to him, he did not dare to exchange the secrets of the Elder Council for her. Therefore, his actions should have been instructed by the Elder Committee. What do you think the Elder Committee is plotting?”
"You mean, their target is me?”Hearing Xiang Cai's words, I immediately understood.
"That should be it. I think Qijun has been assassinated many times since he was young. Qijun, you're really too talented. You're so talented that everyone is afraid of you. You're not even ten years old and you're already a Jounin. If it were a few years later, who would be able to kill you? So you forced them to set up a trap to deal with you. What are you going to do, Qijun?" Xiang Cai had a mocking expression on her face.
"Hehe, I have to say that it is a very fortunate thing to be able to cooperate with people like Xiangcai-kun and you. Since you have discovered their conspiracy, I naturally have to play with them.”I was so angry that I laughed, and my tone was unusually gentle.
"Then Qijun, what is your plan? Since they dare to send people to kill you, their lineup must be quite good. Don't play with me and lose my life.”Xiang Cai asked with a smile. At the same time, she expressed her stance on this matter.
"I'm really touched. I didn't expect that at this critical moment, Xiang Cai-Jun would still be willing to live and die with me!”I 'sighed' to say that she was a smart woman.
"Alright, stop talking in riddles. If I decide to leave, I believe Qijun and you will kill me immediately! If you want me to risk my life with you, at least tell me your plan!”The smile on Xiang Cai's face grew wider. What a terrifying woman.
"Go all out? I don't think they have the qualifications to fight me to the death. If they want to kill me now, they have to be shadow level characters! Xiang Cai-kun, have you noticed the direction we are heading in?”I sneered.
" You…!"
