The reason why Kimura Takomori was so hesitant was not only because he was afraid of the water gate, but also because he was very concerned about something else. Those two fellows hiding in the dark had caused him a great deal of pressure! Although they had only exchanged blows for a short while, the mystery of those two people still made him unable to let go. Naturally, he did not want to cause any more trouble. However, the white-eyed Xue Ji was too important, and he was unwilling to give up just like that. He hesitated for a moment.
After pondering for a long time, a trace of determination flashed in Kimura Takomori's eyes. He finally made a decision and said firmly,"
"Alright, we'll do as Cang Ye says. If that person is really not to be trifled with, then forget it. If his strength is slightly inferior, then we'll kill him!”
Watanabe revealed a look of surprise, and a hint of cruelty flashed across his eyes. He chuckled and said,"Thank you, Captain. Hmph, I'd like to see what kind of superhuman power this Itsuhito Shimizu has!”
"However, Cang Ye, it's best for you to hide your identity this time. Don't let him see through you. Tonight, in front of that person, it was not good to make a move, in case he saw through anything. Tomorrow morning, those two will definitely bid farewell and leave. You will follow behind them and test them again at noon. Do you understand?"
Kimura Takomori's gaze was vicious as he ordered in a low voice. In the beginning, this person did not agree with the idea of Luofeng and Prime Minister Sen attacking the water gate together, and his character seemed to be somewhat indecisive. But now, once he made a decision, he was swift and decisive, unusually ruthless! From this, it could be seen that he was indeed extraordinary as the captain of this team.
Watanabe's expression turned serious as he nodded.
"In that case, everyone should rest early. That group of people suffered a huge loss today. I'm afraid they won't be willing to let it go. They need to maintain their energy and deal with it at any time.”
Kimura Takomori nodded and ordered the other three. It was obvious that even though they had repelled the enemy today, they did not dare to be careless. However, he did not mention the two mysterious people who made him feel uneasy. He did not know if he did it on purpose or if he had really forgotten.
The three of them agreed in unison and went to sleep without mentioning the night patrol. Clearly, they were very confident in the barrier they had set up together.
The four of them did not know that about a mile behind them, there were two people looking in this direction! The two of them were dressed in black robes with red clouds on them. They were actually members of Xiao!
Although it was raining heavily, there was no rain or wind within ten meters of the two of them. It was obvious that the two of them had also set up a small barrier.
"Hmph, those four guys are quite capable, Weasel. He didn't expect that he could even defeat a ninja of that level.”
An arrogant voice rang out. It was a member of Daybreak and Weasel's team, Kirishi Kinmeri!
"Ah…that group of people is not simple. With that level of fire escape technique, even I…Speaking of which, I still don't know who that group of people is. If it was just for that merchant group, wouldn't it be too much? Could it be for that guy?”
A deep and calm voice sounded. It was another member of the Akatsuki team, Uchiha Itachi!
"That guy? Oh, speaking of which, they might really be here for him. Hehe, what an amazing guy…Not only did he find our headquarters, he even had the guts to directly entrust us with a mission there! After that, he had a relationship with Kirin Village. Now, there was a group of people of unknown origins. Moreover, judging from his itinerary, he was probably going to involve even Woodleaf Village... What an amazing boldness.”
Upon hearing this, Gui Shi was slightly startled, but then he chuckled. His arrogant tone had a trace of undisguised admiration!
"Hmph, when I saw that guy leave our headquarters and head straight for Wuren Village, I thought that he was just an intelligence agent sent by Wuren Village to probe. I didn't expect him to sneak into that merchant group…It seems that Wuren Village doesn't know much about him either, but they should have noticed him. Sending those four people to carry out such an escort mission was probably just a cover. The real purpose should be to find out the background of that person. What is that guy trying to do?"
Weasel muttered to himself for a moment before frowning. It was obvious that he was quite puzzled by the purpose of the guy he was talking about.
"Oh, he went to the Vortex Country to search for treasures. He said that his ancestors left behind treasures, but there are many traps that require a considerable amount of ninjas to crack. This commission first came to us, then he used Hidden Fog Village, and now he lured out that unknown force, and then he wants to go to Wooden Leaf Village…Perhaps this fellow deliberately caused the suspicion of Hidden Fog Village towards him! In this way, several forces would be involved…What exactly was that guy planning? "He directly came to our headquarters, and the only party that has been entrusted with this is our Xiao Organization. Could it be that that guy is targeting us?”
Ghost mermaid and merman frowned and pondered. Bright light shot out from her small eyes, flickering non-stop.
"It's precisely because we can't see through this guy's intentions that the leader sent us to follow him to see if we can get any useful information. Originally, I was only puzzled that this guy knew about our headquarters, but now it seems that this guy's goal is not small. Hmph, this is getting more and more interesting."
Weasel said slowly with a calm expression. His face was solemn, as if nothing in the world could move him, not even this man that he could not see through.
"Oh, I've always been curious. It's fine if the leader didn't attack him at the headquarters to see what his purpose was. After all, as our client, if we attack him on the spot and word gets out, it'll be very bad for our reputation. The organization was in the stage of raising funds. The leader would naturally have scruples about such matters. However, the two of us have been following him until now, and you, Erit, have no intention of making a move on him. Isn't that a little unreasonable? For you, no matter how determined he is, you should be able to easily obtain information with your abilities.”
Kisame slightly frowned, looking at Weasel and asking in confusion.
"……Ghost mermaid, I don't know why the leader didn't attack. But I won't do anything to him. If I want to get information, I'll use other methods.”Weasel was silent for a moment before slowly saying.
"…Why? You should know how important information is to ninjas. They must protect it even if they have to sacrifice their lives. Similarly, in order to obtain information, one had to resort to unscrupulous means. Why did you give up on such a direct method and think of something time-consuming and difficult to complete?”
Gui Mo asked in a deep voice. Apparently, he didn't agree with Weasel's method.
"Ninjas…Kisame, you are also saying that we are ninjas. Ninjas should abide by the rules of ninjas! He's a client of our organization. The mission entrusted to him is to protect his safety until the mission is completed. As a member of the Xiao Organization, I won't hurt him. This is my rule as a ninja."
Facing the question from the devil mermaid and merman, Weasel's face remained calm as he answered calmly.
"Ninja? Hehe, Weasel, you seem to have forgotten that we are traitors.”Hearing Itachi mention the rules of ninjas, Kisame snorted and laughed disdainfully.
"Traitor…what is the so-called traitor? What we rebelled against was not the meaning of ninjas 'existence. What we rebelled against was the bad habit of restricting, persecuting, and controlling others in the name of the organization's interests and personal desires. The world of ninjas was filled with all kinds of ugly filth and filth on the surface. There was no value in the world of ninjas. Therefore, even if I have to slaughter the entire race, I will betray it! This is the reason why I joined Xiao."
Weasel stayed silent for a while, then turned his head and looked straight at Kigami. When he mentioned the filth and unbearability of the Ninja Realm, his killing intent became even stronger. His calm face revealed a pressing pressure. His devilish Shura Eye slowly rotated, making Kisame, who had always been familiar with Itachi's personality, feel shocked.
"Oh, I see…It looks so glamorous on the surface, but it's ugly on the inside. So you want to betray it? The Uchiha clan seemed to have some unspeakable secrets when they were exterminated. However, Weasel, it seems that you and I are really the same kind of people.”
Devil mermaid felt Weasel's unusual aura, so she couldn't help but fall silent, sighing in her heart.
"Well, in that case, it seems that it will be difficult to get the information I want in the short term. Hehe, two days ago, we joined hands to sneak into the caravan, but we were discovered by that Kimura Takomori, and we even exchanged two blows. Hehe, what a troublesome ninja…With his help, it would be difficult to get close to that guy.”
Kisame smiled and shook her head. Then, she mentioned Kimura Takomori, who she had fought with that night. Her eyes showed a trace of respect and solemnity.
"Ah, he's indeed a very good ninja. It was just that Kirin Village had always been secretive, so this person was not famous. He had been a little careless earlier. However, our identities shouldn't have been exposed.”
Itachi nodded, Kimura Takomori's figure appearing in his mind as he said with great sympathy.
"Hehe, speaking of which, our luck seems to be exceptionally good today…First, we saw an unknown ninja who can use the Fire Escape Technique to a certain degree, and now, we even met that lord! Hehe, Weasel, you…"
Kisame and mermaid chuckled, and then put aside the topic of the person who had entrusted them and the Fog Enduring Bearer. Their tone changed, and they looked at Itachi meaningfully.
Hearing that "that lord", Weasel's pupils shrank slightly. He turned his head to look at Kisame and met Kisame's meaningful eyes. He couldn't help but pause.
" Ah, the appearance of that force has distracted Mist Shinobu's attention. I originally had the chance to sneak into the merchant group and investigate carefully tonight, but I didn't expect him to appear here…It seems that I've wasted my time. I didn't expect that yellow flash to have already left Woodleaf Village.”
Weasel said without batting an eyelid. Although his heart skipped a beat when he suddenly saw the look in Kigami's eyes, he still looked extremely calm on the surface, making it difficult for others to grasp his inner thoughts.
"Hehe, looks like I need to report this to the organization. The leader had once said that he would personally deal with him. Although he said that he would only carry out the next step of the plan after three years, he did not know if the leader would make a move now that he had encountered him.”
Seeing Weasel's calm reaction, Kisame chuckled and said.
