He was not short of money. What he wanted was information on ninjutsu.
Unfortunately, after a few explicit hints, Flying Ape Sun Slash did not have the intention of giving him the ninjutsu again. He just sent Zichuan Shue away with some random chatter.
There were two possible reasons for this," Firstly, he had just given them the last time. If he gave them too frequently this time, it would be easy to break the "rules."
Secondly, this mission did not meet the requirements for the reward of ninjutsu, even though his personal performance was already very outstanding.
Then, completing the mission was not the same as directly obtaining ninjutsu. Shoutu Shinkawa had read this point from the attitude of Flying Ape Sun Chop.
Hidekazu was very disappointed with this result.
But he was Naruto, so there was nothing he could do.
Hideki Nishikawa calmly left Naruto's office and strolled down the corridor.
The various staff members who passed by did not notice that his expression was somewhat uncertain.
Under the bright incandescent light, the fiery red tiles on the hard and thick wall surface shone brightly, but it could not illuminate the haze in Shue's heart at all.
He didn't know if this was a special case. If the reward for the S-rank mission was just a sweet taste at the beginning and would not come again in the future, it would mean that he would be in a rather disadvantageous situation. The value of joining the Dark Group would not be that great.
He knew very well that he was just a civilian ninja. He did not have the resources of a big family, and he was not a direct descendant of Naruto. It was extremely difficult for him to obtain precious ninjutsu resources within the system. Initially, he had thought of achieving his goal through promotion, meritorious service, and other methods. Now that he thought about it, he might have been too naive.
Hideki knew that he had to prepare for the worst.
Therefore, the " Hunt " plan should be put on the agenda. With the cover of the Dark Group, he should be able to come into contact with some powerful ninjas. Hopefully, there would be one who knew sealing techniques.
Hideki sighed. He felt that the situation had become more complicated, and his head hurt.
He walked out of the Naruto building and planned to go home to rest first. He would practice his physical skills in the afternoon.
He also needed time to master the newly acquired ninjutsu. Time was too tight for him.
At this moment, a hoarse and deep voice sounded behind him."Hideki, are you interested in chatting with me?”
Hidekazu looked behind him and saw a middle-aged man in a black robe sizing him up with narrowed eyes.
This middle-aged man had a thin face, a pair of malicious eyes, and two sharp scars on his chin.
This was…a group trove?
Hidekazu turned around and looked straight at Tuan Zang.""Guild Elder? Why are you looking for me?"
Danzou did not care about Shoutu's slightly rude gaze. He probably knew that his reputation was not good among ordinary ninjas.
After all, it was World War II now, and the team hadn't completely hidden behind the scenes yet. There were still many people who knew about him.
Tuan Zang merely raised his hand, as if to indicate that he had no ill intentions towards Hidehide. He said to Hidehide in a calm tone,""Orochimaru sent me a message, but I don't trust his words, so I have to confirm the situation personally.”
" Orochimaru is Lord Naruto's disciple. He has a bright future ahead of him. I don't think he'll make up some fake news to fool the higher-ups of the village," Sho Nishikawa frowned and asked.”
Tuan Zang opened his eyes slightly, as if he was surprised by Shue's answer. He said,""The news might have been true, but I know the person who handled it very well, so it doesn't make much difference whether the news is true or false.”
" So..." Hidekazu pondered for a while. Seeing that he couldn't fool her, he said bluntly,""Elder Tuanzang, what do you mean? Let's just say it out loud, it's a waste of our brains to play charades like this.”
Tuan Zang chuckled, as if he had expected Shue Shinkawa's reaction. He said slowly,""To be able to get a ninja like Orochimaru to lie for you, Shikawa Hideki, you are indeed not simple.”
Lie? What was there to lie about?
While being puzzled, he gradually understood something. When Orochimaru was testing him that day, he seemed to have only raised doubts about his strength.
As for other matters, Orochimaru didn't seem to have mentioned them at all.
Especially his biggest flaw, Moonlight Gorgeous Path's amnesia incident. The other party did not mention it at all. Now that he thought about it, this was very abnormal.
From the looks of it, either Orochimaru wasn't interested in this matter, or he had other plans. However, this guy didn't do things carefully, and Tuan Zang actually noticed his flaws.
However, Shigawa Hideki felt that there was nothing wrong with his performance in front of Orochimaru, so what was he trying to hide by lying for him?
"Orochimaru lied for me? Are you trying to deceive the higher-ups of the village?" Hidekazu laughed and shook his head,""Guild Elder, let's not talk about whether I have such great charm.
Take Orochimaru for example. With his status, doing such a thing was tantamount to destroying his future.”
"Don't belittle yourself. Although I don't know you, I know Orochimaru.”
"Alright then." Hideki shrugged helplessly.
"What situation does Elder Tuanzang want to confirm?”
"You should know Moonlight Xuan Dao.”Tuan Zang narrowed his eyes again and stared at Shoutu.
"Do you really not know anything about his memory loss?”
Hidekazu sighed and said with a frown,""Isn't this matter in the past? Guild Elder, Lord Naruto no longer has any doubts about this. What can you get by clinging onto me?”
Tuan Zang's expression turned cold as he berated,"Don't use Sun Slash to brush me off!" Whether you have any problems, you know best in your heart!”
Seeing that Zichuan Xiu was silent, Tanzang's expression softened a little, but his tone was still very strict,"I didn't suspect you at first, and it was just routine for Orochimaru to test you. But his abnormal behavior made me really notice you, Shikawa Hideki!”
"Your family background is clean. Although Orochimaru suffered some losses in small matters, he can still be clear about the major issues.”Tuan Zang paused for a moment and said meaningfully,"So, I don't think there's a problem with your identity as a Leaf Ninja. You've mastered a spell that you shouldn't have.”
Shouta seemed unconcerned and even laughed at the group for stirring up trouble. In fact, he was secretly cursing Orochimaru for exposing himself.
The reason why he was a little angry was that this was not the best time to come into contact with the group trove.
After all, his strength had yet to take shape, and he had no confidence in fighting against a Shadow Grade One expert.
If Tuan Zang found out about his strength, he would definitely break off with Muye, and he would most likely not be able to defeat Naruto, so he would be forced to leave.
The losses caused by that result…
Even if there was only a slight risk, Shouta was unwilling to accept it. His mind raced as he secretly thought about the next countermeasure.
Tuan Zang did not know what was going on in his mind. When he saw that Hidekazu scoffed at his speculation, he did not look unhappy at all. He did not seem to be anxious at all.
This old fellow knew how many chips he had. Zi Chuan Xiu had just become a member of the Dark Group today. Clearly, he was still within Yuan Fei Sun Slash's vision.
In addition, what he said before was mostly speculation without real evidence. In fact, there was no way to use force, but this did not affect him from thinking of ways to achieve his goal.
"I know you don't want to admit it. After all, it's a secret technique that can perfectly erase memories. It's even stronger than the mountain clans. It's normal for you to be so careful.”Danzang said sincerely, as if he was thinking for Shoutu.
But the next second, Tuan Zang changed the topic."But do you know how valuable the secret technique you have mastered is? Under such circumstances, not to mention me, even Sun Beheader would be tempted, right? Do you really think you can hide it?"
Hidekazu was expressionless as he said,""I only know that Lord Huo Ying has already let this matter go. Lord Huo Ying has no intention of prying into my secret.”
" Besides…" Shue sneered,""All of this is just your speculation. Without evidence, you can't do anything to me. Am I right? The Guild Treasury Elder."
Hearing the words " Lord Naruto " and " Lord Naruto ", Tanzang's expression darkened and he lost his previous composure.
"Do you really think I can't do anything to you? He's just a new Jounin…"
Hidekazu waved his hand and interrupted Tanzang's threatening words. He said to himself,""Actually, Elder Tuanzang, I don't think there's a need to make things so awkward between us.
After all, you're a high-ranking official of Muye, and I don't want to offend you.”
