Chapter 111 Warning

"good."

The ANBU ninja nodded and continued to say in a leisurely tone:

"By order of Lord Mizukage, I would like to know what the guests are going to do on the island? If you need any help, just ask."

"Are chunin like us worthy of troublesome Mizukage-sama's care?"

Shikamaru replied loudly.

The other party's intention was obviously to find out what the purpose of Konoha's group was in infiltrating this time.

In response, the content of Shikamaru's reply seemed humble, but his tone was quite firm, blocking the other party's words.

The fog ninja obviously hesitated.

Then, the conversation changed and he continued to ask:

"I would like to ask you, is the ninja next to you the successor to the Bloodline of Kirigakure Village and the Corpse Vein?"

"Yes! He is our friend. We are back this time to help him find the truth about his family."

Sasuke replied.

He has now completely understood Shikamaru's theory of darkness under the light.

As long as the other party gets an answer and goes back to communicate, he can perfectly hide his true intentions.

"Haha! The Kaguya clan is reckless and warlike. They rebel and seek their own death. Everyone knows this. What truth are we looking for?"

The man's tone was smiling, but there was a chill in his words.

Kimimaro showed displeasure upon hearing the Kiri ninja's slander.

But what this person said was exactly the same as what Orochimaru told him about his family's situation before. It seemed that his family was indeed a warlike lunatic.

Thinking of this, Kimimaro couldn't help but lower his head.

"The Kirigakure Village is no better than Konoha. We are a small country here, a land of cold waves, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to treat guests attentively. If there is nothing else, please come back as soon as possible, the three of you."

The Kirigakure ninja continued.

"How long does it take for us to go back? It's none of your business?"

"I'm just surprised. Are you from the Kingdom of Water? My brother wants to go home for a visit, why can't he?"

I have prepared an answer for you, you don’t like it.

Then he even directly opened his mouth to chase people away.

At this point in the conversation, Sasuke lost his patience and cursed directly.

The Kirigakure ninja trembled and almost lost his balance.

I really didn't expect that these people, as the largest country in the ninja world and official ninjas of the dignified Hidden Leaf Village, would have such low conversation quality!

The lines that I had already prepared in my mind were all messed up after being scolded by this kid.

I saw this Kirigakure ninja pressing the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, taking deep breaths repeatedly, trying his best to calm his anger, and finally said:

"Good, good, good."

After saying "ok" three times in a row, the man took out a square gift box from behind.

The box was carefully wrapped in dark red cloth and he gently placed it on the ground.

"Here is a small gift from Kirigakure Village, just to express my sincerity. I came from a thousand miles away, but I couldn't welcome you from afar. There are many things I didn't take care of. Please bear with me."

After saying that, the man backed away without turning around. He just took a few steps back and gradually disappeared into the thick fog.

Then, the fog gradually dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

The three of them, Sasuke, looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what the other party's intention was. They quickly climbed up the steps and gathered around the square gift box, feeling a little unsure for a moment.

"I'll do it, you guys try to stand as far away as possible."

After hesitating for a moment, Sasuke formed a seal with his hands, used the shadow clone technique, and walked towards the gift box.

The main body, as the other two people retreated again and again, until the distance was safe enough, Sasuke's shadow clone took a deep breath and slowly opened the gift box.

The night sky is quiet.

The gift box is opened.

There are no explosions, no poisonous gas, and no hidden weapons and mechanisms as we imagined.

But Sasuke's shadow clone stayed there, stunned, as if it had been struck by an extremely terrifying illusion.

The three of them looked at each other, wondering what was in the box.

Just as he was hesitating whether to step forward in person, Sasuke's shadow clone finally moved.

I saw him silently walking back to where the three of them were, squatting down carefully as if he was holding something precious in his hands.

Gently place the opened gift box at the feet of the three of them.

Then, with a "bang" sound, it disappeared.

The three of them looked down and saw something prominently placed in the gift box——

It was the head of Tanaka Ryuta, the boatman who had just talked with Sasuke and others this morning.

This unlucky merchant ship captain worked hard for half his life and finally got his first merchant ship in his life.

A new life has just begun.

However, just because he helped transport a ninja to Konoha, he lost his life here.

This is a warning, no doubt.

Shikamaru's heart was pounding as he tried to sort out what was happening in front of him.

At this moment, he only felt a group of extremely complex and chaotic emotions stirring in his chest.

There is not only guilt for Tanaka Ryuta, but also the exceeding expectations of Kirigakure Village's intelligence network and response speed, as well as shock and even fear of its cruel behavior.

Although, as early as in Konoha, I had heard about the cruel style of the Blood Mist, and my father and mother had repeatedly emphasized it several times when they came here this time.

But now he saw with his own eyes that the head of the uncle who was still alive and kicking next to him that morning was placed in the gift box. For the first time, Shikamaru had a real sense of the word "cruel".

While Shikamaru was waiting for digestion, he accidentally glanced at Uchiha Sasuke beside him.

The situation seems a bit unusual.

His whole body seemed to be trembling slightly.

Shikamaru turned his head to look. Under the moonlight, Sasuke's eyes had become bloodshot and scarlet, and his expression was extremely terrifying.

This feeling of guilt that I didn't kill Boren but he died because of me only made Sasuke feel extremely unhappy all over.

Sasuke barely suppressed his emotions, reached out to repackage the gift box, and solemnly wrapped the bundle again.

Then, he tied the knot into a ring and carried the head on his back.

"What is this for?"

Kimimaro was surprised.

Compared to the two Konoha people, Kimimaro didn't feel much after seeing the human head.

Over the years, he has been used to life and death by Orochimaru's side.

Whether it's the life-and-death fight between ninjas in the base, or Orochimaru's passion for living experiments.

Human lives are like consumables, being pushed forward like an assembly line, and harvesting is completed passively one after another.

Under the influence of what he heard and saw, Kimimaro had already become very indifferent to life.

The death of ninjas is a common occurrence, and the lives of civilians are even more insignificant. If they die, they will die.

At this moment, seeing the strange behavior of Sasuke and Shikamaru, he just felt strange.

"At least bring the body back to his family."

Sasuke's voice was hoarse, trying to sound calmer.

"If we are discovered, no hotel will be willing to accept us."

Kimimaro continued to speak casually.

"Then don't stop!"

Sasuke suddenly became angry.    Walk forward without looking back.

Kimimaro was startled and glanced at Shikamaru who was standing aside, looking embarrassed, so he had to lower his head to catch up.

There were lanterns hanging on the shop in front. When I got closer, I saw that it was indeed a hotel.

The flag above the door flapped in the wind.

The word "波" is written on it, which means a temporary stop or accommodation.

Kimimaro felt happy.

After two nights of wandering at sea and a day of hard work, everyone wants to rest on a soft bed for a night.

Kimimaro and Shikamaru stopped one after another, waiting to say something.

Sasuke walked straight past the hotel without any extra movement, without even raising his head to look inside the hotel.

As if he was angry with himself, Sasuke kept walking and walking until he came to a big tree on the edge of the city.

I saw him clearing out a relatively dry space, taking off the baggage from behind, and gently putting it aside.

Then he was alone, holding firewood to make a fire, and leaned under the big tree and fell asleep.

I heard people say that if you stare at a fire long enough, you can see all the changes in the world.

The campfire crackled.

The beating firelight shone on Sasuke's handsome and handsome face, which looked flickering.

He just sat there blankly.

The red flames were reflected in his dark eyes, and the faces of many old friends appeared in his mind.

That's it again.

Every time, it's like this.

All this is my fault

Sasuke closed his eyes in pain, his heart ached, and he hated this damn ninja world.

"No, it's not your fault."

As if he heard Sasuke's thoughts, Shikamaru appeared beside him, lowered his head and said to Sasuke,

The two of them finally followed.

Behind him was Kimimaro who said nothing.

Shikamaru was seen quietly sitting next to Sasuke, also sitting with his back against the tree.

Kimimaro sat down opposite, expressionless, adding dry wood to the fire.

"The Kirigakure Village's vigilance against the outside world and the sharpness of its measures are far beyond my and my father's expectations. I thought that we would not encounter such a strict defense until at least Kirigakure Village."

Shikamaru suppressed his inner emotions and opened his mouth to review rationally.

"I bear the main responsibility for Long Tai's death."

Sasuke raised his hand, then put it down weakly.

"I shouldn't change my clothes."

Kimimaro suddenly said abruptly, with a stiff tone.

In fact, he still couldn't understand why Sasuke would be so emotional for a civilian.

But he didn't want to see Sasuke like this, so he followed Shikamaru's example and opened his mouth to speak.

"Actually, I didn't ask you to put on sailor's clothes and deliberately let you be noticed by Kirigakure's people. That was also part of my original plan.

"But unexpectedly, they found out our identities and killed us

"It's all my fault, damn it for being too confident!"

Shikamaru punched the tree trunk behind him hard, his eyes also turned red.

The huge feeling of failure that failed to succeed lingered in Shikamaru's heart like a dark cloud.

It turns out that the real ninja world is far more cruel than shogi.

Whenever you make a wrong decision, a living person will pay an unbearable price for you.

Tanaka Ryuta's head was only half a meter away from Shikamaru.

The heavy pressure made him almost breathless.

"Regarding this infiltration mission, I want to change the mission objective."

After hearing what Shikamaru and Kimimaro said, Sasuke calmed down.

The care and support of his companions separated him from the chaotic emotions. His face returned to normal, and he said the above sentence sternly.

"Change mission objective?"

Shikamaru looked at him confused.

He knew all these six words, but they seemed to have never appeared in the dictionary, and he couldn't understand how such a combination appeared.

"Uncle Shikaku asked us to focus on exploring Terumi Mei's strength, and then wait for the opportunity."

Sasuke continued.

“I decided not to explore Terumi Mei’s strength, but directly chose to spare no effort to help her complete this coup and completely change the harsh status quo of the Water Kingdom.

"If Terumi Mei can't do it, we'll look for a new candidate! If we can't find a suitable candidate, I'll personally assassinate the Fourth Mizukage!"

Obito, right?

I'm going to put you in the grave!

Sasuke's body was heaving violently, and his mind was filled with thoughts about that bastard ANBU ninja who seemed to be very polite just now.

Why did you let him run away? !

On the other side, Shikamaru looked at Uchiha Sasuke in shock after hearing Sasuke's plan.

To a ninja, what he said just now can be regarded as treasonous.

You know, the education that ninjas received from childhood is to complete the mission as the first priority.

Regardless of the reason, right or wrong, as long as you accept the task, you must complete it no matter what the means.

This is the awareness of letting yourself become a tool.

In this regard, even if you don't try your best, you may be despised and criticized by the whole village.

The most typical example is Hatake Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo, known as the White Fang of Konoha.

Just because he gave up his mission to save the lives of his companions, he was ostracized and criticized by the whole village.

The former fighting hero of Konoha eventually ended up committing suicide.

This is the price of disrespecting the mission.

But now, Uchiha Sasuke not only wants to give up his original mission, but also plans to start a new one on his own?

It even calls it euphemistically, what is it called "changing the target of the mission"? !

I'm afraid this kid is not crazy!

"Are you doing this for the tens of thousands of civilians in the Kingdom of Water?"

Shikamaru tried to understand, trying to keep up with Sasuke's level.

Sasuke nodded first, then shook his head and took a deep breath:

"I can't take this breath!"
-

Kirigakure Village, Elder's Mansion, Guard Office.

The dimly lit room was filled with the lazy atmosphere unique to mature women.

In the mirror, the charming woman was looking at her face carefully.

Thick reddish-brown curly hair, long and crisscrossed between her exposed neck.

Her green eyes were rippling like spring water, gentle and charming.

At this time, she was seen leaning forward, approaching the mirror, and gently covering her chest with her fair and slender left hand.

The right hand is carefully applying the lipstick to make the red lipstick look more even.

After doing all this, she stared at herself in the mirror with satisfaction.

The blue tube top dress is worn inside a grid, which does not affect her fighting ability, but also makes her figure become plumper and slimmer.

She smiled confidently, turned and left her room, walking slowly towards the Elder's Mansion.
