Chapter 417 Ino: Definitely Next Time
Sunset dusk.
The capital of the Fire Nation, the Konoha Intelligence Department camp.
Watching Naruto Ino enter the office, Santo and Matsuriya, who were commandeered as humanoid cameras, were pardoned and hurriedly went to the canteen to find food.
The two of them were eating their meals and as soon as they sat down, Shanteng couldn't help but sigh.
"Isn't it incredible? Then the nobles just disappeared?"
"Whoever allowed them to control the ninja rebellion is a very serious crime." Jiye was relatively calm, but his face was still very red, and his heart could not help but beat fast because he was too nervous.
It's magical, just magical.
I originally thought that it was magical for those nobles to use such ridiculous excuses to embarrass the Intelligence Department, but when I thought that the other party was a noble, the ridiculous methods became less ridiculous.
Even if they are violating the regulations and being arrogant, the Ministry of Intelligence has nothing to do with them. Nothing else, just because they are nobles and have lawless privileges.
But I didn't expect that Naruto's set of procedural justice with free will was actually effective. It really made people feel absurd, but after thinking about it carefully, it felt reasonable.
After all, Naruto is a high-ranking member of Konoha, and the person who connects him is either the Hokage or the great ninja noble of Konoha. The ninja nobles may not have much power, but they do have an army.
Perhaps in the eyes of those nobles, it was impossible for ninjas to really punish them with that outdated set of laws. After all, the status is not equal. They are great nobles, and most of the assets of the Fire Country belong to them.
If you need money, you will have money, and if you need people, you will have people. Konoha was just a dog under the daimyo's command, and together with the ninja's rule not to harm civilians, they were even more unscrupulous.
After all, their logic is simple. If the ninja is disobedient, just put pressure on Konoha to take care of it. Use more powerful dogs to tame weak dogs and let them be dogs for life.
Jiye was actually afraid of the big nobles in his heart, for fear of being retaliated by them. Whether it's to bribe the higher-ups from the village to hold people accountable, or to hire ninjas privately to take revenge.
From the moment she entered the courtyard, her legs were weak. It was just because I was too scared that I didn't speak the whole time and had no expression on my face.
"It's common for nobles to hire ninjas to commit murders. I've never heard of the idea of directly beating up nobles, let alone killing them." Shanteng was worried.
"I'm thinking that if we are little ninjas like us, we will probably have to endure the consequences. Even if the other party really breaks the rules, no one will care about what we read."
"Naruto-sama is different from us after all, and those nobles may not be able to do anything to him." Jiye put down Kuaizi and pursed his lips.
"Besides, wasn't Ino-sama the whole time? Since she didn't say anything to stop it, it proves that nobles are not that scary after all."
"But didn't those nobles block our project for several days just by talking? Ino-sama came to visit, but they didn't take Ino-sama seriously." Shanto retorted.
"That's because there hasn't been a war for too long. Those nobles have forgotten the attributes of Konoha Ninja Village. We are a violent organization!"
"That being said," Santo sighed.
"Eat, shut your crow mouth." Jiye interrupted him angrily.
On the other side, inside the camp office.
"If we do this, will it bring trouble to Konoha?" Ino held the tea cup and leaned against the desk, frowning.
"Kakashi will definitely have a headache for a while, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Naruto leaned back in his chair, looking leisurely and relaxed.
"All our procedures are legal. It was Yuan and those nobles who messed up, and they were the ones who refused to repent. They also got backlash in the end, didn't they?"
"Yeah." Ino nodded, "I hope, before the news reaches Konoha, I have to write down the situation and send it back to Konoha to prevent us from falling into a passive situation."
"Okay." Naruto stood up and made way for Ino.
Ino sat at his desk, picked up his pen and pondered for a while before writing. There was no pause in the middle, the situation was explained clearly and simply, and it was put into the envelope.
At the same time, the other three noble groups in the capital were also shocked by the news of Sonowa's violent death. After learning the cause and effect, I felt even more incredible.
"What? Konoha's ninjas? Why are they crazy!"
"The charge is too ridiculous. Manipulating ninjas to rebel. What kind of novel charge is this? Those ninjas are simply lawless and crazy!"
"Have they forgotten who is supporting them? They even bite their owners. They are simply crazy dogs!"
"We must kill the mastermind ninja, who is it! Inform me to the Konoha Ninja Village and ask them to kill that madman and hang his body at the city gate!"
"what do you not know?"
"Spend money on me and find someone to ask! I have plenty of money. Find the person for me! No matter who it is that attacks the nobles, I will kill him too."
"What? The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki? Even the Nine-Tails. Wait, are you talking about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki? Then forget it, let's wait and see for a while."
"Is there any news from Konoha? Go hurry up!"
"Sonowa is really ridiculous, and he still claims to be a new noble. Sure enough, the upstarts are not as well-educated as us, the old nobles. You can't tell right from wrong. It's not good to offend any ninja, but the God of Plague."
"That's right, Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, why did you offend him? Is there anything you can't sit down and compromise on? Now it's okay, something happened, no wonder we annexed his power."
"It's better to be more informed these days. I didn't even get the information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki clearly before I fought to the end. It turns out I'm still too impatient."
"What explanation? Oh, Konoha still needs to give us an explanation. Otherwise, what will happen if this person bullies us in the future? Of course, we should have a better attitude. After all, it is not us who are in trouble."
The small envelope was sent back to Konoha from the capital of the Land of Fire, and even extended further afield through intelligence spies. Due to the distance, the news would naturally be delayed by several versions.
At this moment, inside the Hokage Building.
Kakashi was buried in the office, looking at the letters floating like snowflakes and couldn't help but feel dizzy. There were thick black circles under the eyes of the dead fish, as if it had been reincarnated from the dirty earth.
"That guy Naruto will really cause trouble for me."
"Forget it, let's call him back for questioning first. Killing a noble is such a serious matter."
After a while, a white-robed female ninja wearing an ANBU mask walked in. He has purple hair and long legs, and an inconspicuous gray short knife tied to his back.
"Lord Hokage." Uzuki Xiyan took off his mask and said respectfully.
"Ah, take a look at this first." Kakashi handed the information to his right hand, Uzuki Yugan, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Then we set out and bring him back first."
"Killing a noble from the capital?" Mao Yue Xiyan glanced at her, her eyes changed instantly, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Is he crazy?"
"You're not crazy. That group of nobles was eyeing the Intelligence Ministry's communicator project and was embarrassing Ino. Naruto happened to bump into it," Kakashi explained.
"Furthermore, what he did completely complied with the procedural norms and no mistakes could be found. It's just that the reasons were a bit far-fetched."
Hearing this, Maoyue Xiyan looked strange.
"Don't these nobles deserve what they deserve? It's not good to offend anyone. They have to fight to the death with them. If it complies with the rules, then they are just seeking death themselves, and they can't blame anyone."
"I know, but it's best to bring him back to ask questions, so as to give an explanation to those nobles." Kakashi sighed and said.
"That's no problem, but what if he refuses to come back?" Mao Yue Xiyan pinched her fingers and said awkwardly, "I can't beat him, and there's nothing I can do if he doesn't come back."
"Don't look at me. I'm his teacher. How can I still do it myself?" Kakashi coughed, "I can't take him back either. You can just go to Ino."
Ino? Maoyue Xiyan suddenly remembered that the number of people who could cure that soul-sickness could be counted on one hand.
"I know." After saying that, Mao Yue Xiyan left.
"Back to Konoha? Why? I'm not going!" Naruto lay on the bed and looked at Ino Road next to him, "I've only been here a few days."
"Kakashi-sensei must be under a lot of pressure. You have to go back anyway." Ino said.
"Huh? Kakashi wrote you a letter?" Naruto asked.
"No, the letter from Konoha hasn't arrived yet. I guess it will arrive soon." Ino changed her position, sleeping on her side with her head propped up and looking at him.
"I know there's nothing wrong with what you've done, but you've been with me for two days, which is enough. The village is also under a lot of pressure. If you don't want to go back, Kakashi-sensei will probably have to stay up late and work overtime to deal with that. Helping the nobles."
Naruto sighed as he looked at Ino's blond hair.
"Fine."
Seeing Naruto's expression of knowing how to eat the marrow, Ino bit her lower lip, hesitated for a few seconds, and then whispered into Naruto's ear.
"I've been there a few times, and I can't afford to owe it again. I'll definitely do it next time."
Listening to those familiar words, Naruto couldn't help but look at Ino with a complicated expression. What do you mean by "definitely do it next time"? Generally speaking, it means nothing.
But after thinking about Kakashi's situation, he reluctantly realized it and nodded in agreement.
The next day.
Fire Nation Forest.
Uzuki Xiyan met Naruto on the way, and the two stopped far away. Naruto took out his sword and she also pulled out her short sword.
After squinting his eyes, he looked around and found that an acquaintance had put the weapon back again.
"Why are you here? Did you take me back?" Naruto asked carelessly.
"I'll ask you back for questioning. Kakashi is too busy." Uzuki Xiyan said businesslikely, "Just go back and explain the situation. Kakashi suppressed the news. Only the top management knows the news."
"Didn't Ino submit the mission statement? I still have to go back. It's really troublesome." He kept up with Uzuki Xiyan's pace and rushed towards Konoha with a big jump.
"That mission statement is for Kakashi. When you go back, you will explain the situation to the people sent by the nobles. Just calm down a little and don't be too aggressive."
"Okay, okay!" He said impatiently.
Inside Konoha Village.
The representatives sent by the nobles from the three parties were sitting in the conference room, silently thinking about their master's instructions when they came, and they must have a better attitude so as not to offend Konoha.
He said he was offending Konoha, but actually he was afraid of offending the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. Although it seems that that person is no longer the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, it has nothing to do with them. For the time being, he can be regarded as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
"It's not difficult to have a better attitude. I just heard that the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki can eat a person alive in one bite. Wouldn't it be nice to meet him now?" The messenger felt uneasy.
