Although the truth was as Mizui-kun had said, Ito Masahiko still felt uncomfortable.
The leader of the merchant group was listening to Mizuki's explanation. When Mizuki finished, he looked at Mizuki with shock and horror in his eyes. Initially, he did not take Mizuki and the other two children seriously. The only person he had been paying attention to was Ito Masahiko. In his opinion, Mizuki and the other two children were just here to broaden their horizons.
However, after Shui Yun's explanation, he no longer dared to underestimate Shui Yun. He was even shocked by Shui Yun's actions. However, he still had some doubts.
The leader of the caravan changed his attitude towards Shui Yun. He respectfully asked Shui Yun,""Lord Ninja, I still don't understand why you were so sure that the person just now would fall for it. And he fell for the same trick twice in a row? Why is that?"
After hearing the caravan leader's question, Ito Masahiko, Sunset Red, and Mai Tekai also pricked up their ears. They were also curious as to why the Shuiyun Guild was certain that the Horn Guild would fall into the same trap twice in a row.
Shui Yun said,"It's actually quite simple. The first time the caravan was separated, Jiao Du was greedy for money, so he would definitely chase after the caravan with more goods. While he was chasing after the fake goods, the other caravan would move forward quickly. Jiao Du realized that he had fallen into a trap. He would definitely not care about those rare goods because he was very confident in himself. He felt that even if he fell into a trap, he would definitely be able to catch up again.”
"In this way, the goods that are scattered out are the safest. After all the corners have left, there shouldn't be any losses when people come back to take back these goods. As for the other team, after estimating the time, they split into two teams again. They also used stones as goods. The team that left the biggest traces still transported a small amount of goods and stones.”
Metko scratched his head and asked in confusion,""Shuiyun, that horn you mentioned has already been tricked once, so how could it be tricked the same way?”
Shui Yun said,"Indeed, if it was an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn't fall for it again. However, this Jiao Du isn't an ordinary person. He has lived for so many years and is extremely shrewd." However, the more such a person was, the more they would think about things. After falling into the trap the first time, he would be even more careful when facing the second time. Similarly, he would also think more. However, I used the simplest strategy and used it again. According to my calculations, the probability of him falling into the trap again was more than 80%.”
The leader of the caravan was shocked."You've only met him once, and you're already able to understand his thoughts. This is really…"
Shui Yun's expression did not change. This was indeed his first time meeting Jiao Du, but he knew a lot of information about Jiao Du. It was because he knew about Jiao Du that Shui Yun was so confident. If it was someone like Fei Duan, this plan would definitely end in failure.
The smarter a person was, the easier it was to be fooled. This was the principle that Shui Yun used.
"Heroes are indeed born from young people. As expected of the best Ninja Village in the ninja world. Even a child has such high abilities. We didn't make the wrong choice this time.”The leader of the merchant group was sincerely impressed.
Ito Masahiko finally pieced together all of the information after listening to Mizuki's explanation. He also truly understood Mizuki's plan. Like the leader of the caravan, he was amazed by Mizuki's analytical ability and judgment. It was a great honor to have such a disciple to guide Jounin. However, Ito Masahiko still had a lingering grudge in his heart.
Ito Masahiko had been thinking about it. Mizuno's plan was not bad, but it was too bold. He felt that Mizuno was too conceited. Facing an enemy he had just met, he actually dared to make such a gamble. If he made a wrong bet, wouldn't the entire caravan suffer?
Ito Masahiko was an old-fashioned and cautious person. Therefore, he instinctively resisted Mizuno's bold plan. He felt that Mizuno's plan was too risky.
Mizumo didn't know what Ito Masahiko was thinking, but he knew very well that there was a rift between him and Ito Masahiko. This rift would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble in their future interactions.
Mizumo was a very sensitive person. After sensing Ito Masahiko's strange behavior, he did not take the initiative to explain himself because he felt that he did not do anything wrong. Ito Masahiko had scolded him indiscriminately, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
After getting rid of Jiao Du, the caravan quickly arrived at the capital of the Country of Fire. The Country of Fire was indeed the richest land in the ninja world. The huge capital was unusually lively.
After entering the capital city, the team's mission was considered to have been completed. Although the process was full of twists and turns, the result was still satisfactory. The leader of the caravan paid the rest of the remuneration and arranged accommodation for the four of them before leaving.
Due to their concerns about Jiao Capital, Shui Yun and the others prepared to stay in the capital for a few days. After a few days, Shui Yun and the others left the capital of the Country of Fire and returned to Woodleaf Village.
Without the burden of the caravan, Shui Yun and the other three moved very quickly. They only took a few days to return to Woodleaf Village.
After returning to Kiba Village, Ito Masahiko immediately dismissed the party and let Mizuno and the other two go their separate ways. He returned to Naruto's office to hand in the quest.
In Naruto's office, Ito Masahiko stood in front of the third generation Naruto and reported respectfully, reporting all the details of the operation to the third generation Naruto.
The 3rd generation Naruto listened attentively. He kept frowning during the process. Ito Masahiko had followed the 3rd generation Naruto for many years, so the 3rd generation Naruto knew Ito Masahiko very well. From Ito Masahiko's narration, he could clearly hear the strangeness in Ito Masahiko. Who was the third generation Naruto? He immediately guessed what Ito Masahiko was thinking.
"Yiteng, do you think that there's something wrong with what Shuiyun did?”Naruto asked Ito Masahiko.
Ito Masahiko didn't dare to hide anything and said truthfully,""Lord Third Generation, I just think that his plan is too risky. Moreover, this child was actually able to come up with such a plan at that time.”
After hearing Ito Masahiko's words, Naruto III sighed and said,""Ito, Mizuki's handling of this matter is very correct. Mizuki is different from ordinary children. He is very intelligent, smart, and has his own opinions, so don't treat him like a child.”
