There was a gorgeous bed in a room at the highest point of the castle, a pink Romaine tent, and a warm crystal lamp. Everything was so magnificent!
"Kawamoto, we have visitors.”A man sat by the bed and spoke softly to the sleeping beauty. "Don't worry, I won't let them disturb us.”
As he spoke, he gently kissed Sleeping Beauty's face and slowly retreated out of the room. Many people had been spying on him over the years, but this was the first time an outsider had invaded the castle. However, no matter who it was, they would never return. As he thought about it, the pink marble-sized bead hanging around his neck flashed with a faint red glow and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Huang Tu successfully entered the castle after breaking through countless mechanisms. As soon as he entered, he felt that something was wrong. First, his clone turned into soil. Then, the power in his body seemed to be suppressed by some invisible energy. It seemed that this castle was a large prison that suppressed chakras, which meant that ninjutsu could not be used here.
Those guys from the Dark Group hadn't been freeloading all these years, so it wasn't an exaggeration to assign this mission to a B-rank. Even he felt that it was troublesome. Those missing members of the Dark Group should have been buried here.
" Welcome to Heaven!" A voice rang out from all around the yellow soil. They had finally been discovered after entering the castle for so long. However, that was true. If he accidentally caused a commotion, it would be difficult not to expose himself.
" Who are you? Why did you steal the sacred object of Cherry Blossom Village?" Huang Tu was now very sure that the target he was looking for was the man who spoke." And why did you frame Yan Ren? What's your motive?"”
"I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be Captain Huang Tu of the liaison team.”The man slowly walked out of the darkness and into the moonlight. He did not show much expression when he saw that the person who entered was yellow soil.
Huang Tu turned around to look when he heard the sound of boots coming from behind him. The voice sounded very familiar, but now that he looked at it, it was indeed his former subordinate…Sugi Yabe. " I remember that you died in a mission."
The current Yabe Sugi had not changed at all compared to the past, except that he was taller and stronger. However, the temperament in his bones was different.
"Which question should I answer first?”Yabe Sugi thought for a while and said,""On account of our past relationship, I'll answer you one by one. Captain!"
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the door again. Huang Tu looked over and saw that Jia Sidai and the others had already caught up. Didn't he tell them to wait for orders? Why did they chase after him? It was just that it wasn't appropriate to ask in this situation. Yabe Sugi saw that Jia Sidai and the others did not have much expression on their faces as they walked behind Huang Tu. They did not seem to care at all.
"As a liaison, your identity and information are confidential, just like spies. Even as the captain, you know nothing about my past.”
Jia Sidai and Goro knew nothing about the liaison officer, so they did not understand what Yabe Sugi meant. Huang Tu did not seem to have any intention of explaining either. He only heard Shinichi speak carefully. " The liaison officer is the person in charge of the spy. They conduct one-on-one supervision with the spy, assigning tasks to the corresponding partner, passing on information, communicating with the village, and other important information. In order to prevent the information from being leaked, the liaison officer in charge of communicating with the spy was the same as the spy. His identity and real name were highly confidential in the village. They were encrypted and sealed by the Earth Shadow, important officials, and the elders.”
"During my tenure, I was in charge of dozens of partners.”
Liaisons worked one-on-one with their partners. It was impossible for them to be in charge of two or more partners at the same time. They would only be reassigned when their partners died.
"Speaking of which, Captain, you're much luckier than us. As the liaison officer, if anything happens to you, your father will take responsibility for it. In terms of hard work, we are definitely no worse than anyone else, but we live more lowly than anyone else. Even our families are affected."When he said this, his voice trembled a little. It seemed that he had recalled the sad things in the past.
Huang Tu was the son of the third generation of Tu Ying, the young master of the village. The burden on his shoulders was something that others could not imagine. He had been crowned as the genius shadow queen since he was young. Only he knew how much pain he had suffered in secret. What others saw was only on the surface. They felt that having Tu Ying's father was a very glorious thing, and the education he received was also the best in the village. However, he had known since he was young that this reputation would not allow him to fail in anything he did. He had to do everything better than others. There were also many times when he was so tired that he couldn't move, and many times when he just wanted to give up. However, he did not even have the right to make such a choice. He could only choose to work hard and work harder.
It was the same for Sandy Soil. In his heart, Sandy Soil was a great ninja. He was the legend of Hidden Rock Village, but time did not wait for him. Sha Tu had many identities as a spy, but he had never lost hope in life. It was because he saw this in Sha Tu that he persisted all the way to where he was today.
" This castle was built for my wife." Yabe Sugi looked up at the huge castle. It was his wife who understood him. "This place is empty and quiet. There is no light shining. Just like my shady profession, I've always been careful and worked with my head held high. After five years, I thought that I could retire in glory, but I didn't expect that my companion was suspected of betraying the enemy, and I was also suspected of not reporting the matter.”
When Yabe Sugi said this, Huang Tu seemed to remember that there was a liaison officer who was suspected of betraying the enemy. After being investigated by the forensics department, he was cleared of his crimes. "I remember that the final result of the identification was that you were retired!”
"Honorary retirement!" Yabe Sugi sneered. As long as he was tainted by that crime, he would have to bear it for the rest of his life. He was once a hot-blooded youth with ideals and aspirations. This matter completely chilled his heart. "During the period when I was imprisoned, my family was also under close investigation. Anyone related to me was under martial law. I joined the liaison team just to get a stable income to treat my wife's illness, but I didn't expect to harm her instead!”Therefore, he began to hate Hidden Rock Village. However, it was his home after all, and he had important memories here. During the conflict, he took his wife and left the village, unwilling to return for the rest of his life.
He had sacrificed his future, his reputation, and everything for the village. In the end, he had no choice but to expel himself. He knew that his wife had advised him to leave because she was afraid that he would not be able to stand the ridicule of others. He didn't want his wife to worry about him, so he agreed to move out and chose this place.
