Chapter 382: Karui's Attitude

Danzo wrote it very clearly in the scroll. The gist is that in order for Konoha Village to win the war, Danzo sent the Root Ninja to secretly investigate the military strength of the Hidden Cloud Village. Between the lines, it was mentioned that this blind date event was also a cover-up for the investigation.

Sai's mission is to collect information and bring it back to the village.

Once his whereabouts were exposed, Danzo ordered Ino to cooperate fully and escort Sai and the so-called "important information" back to Konoha Village.

If you look at it alone, this is just a very ordinary reconnaissance mission. At most, the reconnaissance mission is to go directly to the enemy's lair for reconnaissance, which seems a little bold.

However, Minato Namikaze had done this kind of mission back then, and Jiraiya's trip to the Hidden Rain Village to investigate the Akatsuki organization could also be considered this kind of mission.

After she finished reading, Sai said softly, "Danzo-sama asked me to tell Miss Yamanaka that there will be a war between Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village one day. Don't have unrealistic fantasies. If we weaken Kumogakure Village now, there will be fewer Konoha ninjas sacrificed in future wars."

Ino asked without comment: "The Root is full of talented people, and you are the only one who came for such an important mission?"

Sai replied expressionlessly, "Just me."

"It's obviously a lie. What's your name?"

"The nameless man."

"When will you start?"

"I can't say."

"When will you evacuate the Hidden Cloud Village?"

"I can't say."

Even if Ino had a plan in secret, she felt angry.

Hey man, you don't tell me anything.

"You didn't tell me when you would take action? How can I cooperate with you? Or do you, Lord Danzo, intend to abandon us as pawns and buy time for you?" Ino stared at the man who married into the Yamanaka family in the original time and space, and said word by word.

"If you don't tell me, I will kill you and then read the information from your brain. Lord Danzo will not turn against the Yamanaka family because of a 'nameless person' like you, because the dead have no value to him."

Sai wanted to retreat, but found that the vines had entangled his feet tightly without him noticing. The leaves as sharp as swords were ready to attack like poisonous snakes. If Ino made a seal, the vines would cut off his legs.

He hesitated for two seconds, and the vines twisted and coiled, soon wrapping around his waist.

He ignored the vines with a paralyzed expression, and the words that came out of his mouth were still: "I can't say."

The vines gradually tightened, and seven or eight sharp leaves pierced directly into his skin, then tore the wound bit by bit. Bright red blood slowly flowed out. Sai's face became paler and paler, but he said nothing.

"Danzo-sama's methods of training his subordinates are truly remarkable, alright."

Ino nodded, put away the vines, and replied in a very ninja way: "I will prioritize my own mission, and will provide you with assistance as long as it does not interfere with my mission. That's it, you can go."

"Yes." Sai applied ointment and the bleeding of the wound stopped quickly. He did not waver at all and walked into the shadows as he came, and then left.

A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at the back door of a house in the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Hidden Cloud Ninja standing at the door turned a blind eye and let him jump over the wall.

This is a small ninja clan. Danzo took control of the head of this small ninja clan many years ago, and now this is the stronghold of the Root.

For this operation, Danzo dispatched a total of more than 30 elite Root ninjas. None of them were from a family. They were all elite ninjas that he had brainwashed and trained since childhood.

Sai recounted his experience, and Danzo looked at the wound on his leg and said, "Humph, she doesn't dare to kill you. You did a good job. Go down and treat your wound."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

When Karui took the thin Choji to eat again in the village and returned to their residence, Ino and Shikamaru discussed Danzo's mission.

Shikamaru frowned. Danzo's Root ninjas were going to cause trouble in the Hidden Cloud Village. It would be fine if nothing happened, but if something happened, they would be in great danger.

A ninja must be ready to face death with equanimity, but he cannot throw an egg against a rock even though he knows he will die.

No matter how brave they are, they cannot defeat the thousands of Kumogakure ninjas.

Sacrifice means nothing here.

Ino said: "We don't need to worry about the intelligence. Our lives are the most important. We can retreat in advance."

Shikamaru prefers the Hokage line in his heart, but he is not willing to sacrifice himself in the Hidden Cloud Village for a stranger. The three of them, including Inuzuka Kiba, are the heirs of the great ninja clan. If the matter is exposed and they are killed by the Hidden Cloud Village as a sacrifice, that would be a great loss.

He asked bluntly: "Can we just run now?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Ino shook her head: "No, the Hidden Cloud Village has a special technique that can interfere with the positioning of Flying Thunder God. We must leave the Hidden Cloud Village 20 miles away before I can use Flying Thunder God. The Fourth Raikage is very fast. If we leave the Hidden Cloud Village rashly, he will catch up with us in a very short time."

Shikamaru wouldn't say that you stay behind alone to cover our retreat while the three of us run away.

He sorted out his thoughts and said, "The military strength of the Hidden Cloud Village is extremely strong. I estimate that it will take at least five days to a month for that Root ninja to investigate thoroughly. We should prepare in advance and try to leave here within three days. The breakthrough point is Choji. As long as the relationship between Choji and Karui warms up and Karui takes the initiative to ask to return to Konoha, we can leave the Hidden Cloud Village according to the normal procedures."

Ino agreed with his suggestion that Shikamaru should sacrifice his looks.

The other side.

The fierce girl Samui and the overly cautious Omoi come to ask their teammates how they feel.

After most of the day's contact, Karui has gained a relatively comprehensive understanding of Shikamaru.

"Chouji is actually a very gentle man. I..." Karui was a little shy: "He is strong, kind, and protective. Look at the way he eats. I have to say, he is quite cute."

The more you eat, the stronger you will be. This is in line with the values ​​of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Samui asked seriously, "Then are you willing to go back to Konoha Village with them?"

She used the word "return", and both Omoi and Karui understood it.

Killer is not a reliable master. As the captain, Samui is like Kakashi of Konoha and Asuma treats Team 7 and Team 10. She also bears part of the teacher's responsibility, so she must ask clearly.

Karui bit her lip. It was nonsense to say that she had fallen in love with Shikamaru while shopping and eating for such a long time. But thinking of her family's advice, she nodded slightly.

You can't put all your eggs in one basket. Her family needs her to become a part of Konoha and leave a way out for the family.

Shikamaru is already her best choice. The remaining one, the one who plays with the "rope" and the one who plays with the dog, are really not to her liking.
