The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 104 The Difficult Task

Even though what Rikimaru said made sense, the Third Hokage had issued an order after all, and Jiraiya would of course obey it.

"The old man's order, if there is no movement in Yanyin Village and Shayin Village, then we need to take the initiative to attack."

"Why do you take the initiative to attack?" Rikimaru was very puzzled.

Jilai also said solemnly: "Go directly to contact them, go directly to Yanyin Village and Sandyin Village, as long as you can win over one side, you can attack the other side."

"It's not that simple, is it?"

Riki thinks this kind of plan is too stupid, do you think others are fools?It is obvious that Konoha ranks at the forefront of the five major powers, and Sha Yin Village is at the bottom of the five major powers. If he were Tukage and Kazekage, he would never join forces with Konoha Village.

What's more, Konoha Village occupies the fertile land of the Land of Fire, and has long been deeply dissatisfied by the other four major ninja villages. Whenever wars, Konoha has always been the center of wars and has been besieged by many parties. Therefore, the situation of Konoha Village, The possibility of finding a reliable ally in times of war is too low.

Zilai also said: "The old man didn't really have much expectations, he just wanted to work hard. In addition to Yanyin and Shayin, there is also Yuyin Village between our three countries. Although their strength is not as good as the five country, but that guy Hanzo is not easy, we also need to get in touch."

Rikimaru was silent for a while, and then said: "What should be done, Mr. Jiraiya, please give the order."

Jilai also sighed, as the commander of the frontier, it is naturally impossible for him to dispatch, so the heavy responsibility can only fall on Riki. As a teacher, he does not want to entrust such a dangerous task to Riki.

According to the plan, Riki wanted to contact the leaders of the three ninja villages separately, which was too crazy for the young Riki.

He didn't know what the old man of the third generation thought, why he didn't send some experienced ninjas, but let a young man like Rikimaru perform such a task.

It's just that he also knows that these are to be done in secret and cannot be known by other countries. It must not be done diplomatically. If it is done secretly, Riki's ability will play a very important role.

He attaches great importance to himself as a disciple, and doesn't want anything to happen to Rikimaru, but this is the order of the third Hokage, and as a ninja, he must obey the order.

"Riki, the old man said that this task is not mandatory, you can choose to refuse, in that case, we can take the normal route, which is just a waste of time."

Rikimaru smiled: "Mr. Ziraiya, don't try to persuade me. Since Hokage-sama sent me, it means that he is optimistic about me. At this time, I can't live up to his expectations, not to mention that I can't do anything else. , the ability to escape is a must."

He knew very well why Sandai entrusted him with such a dangerous task.

For one thing, the danger of the mission is relative. After all, he is representing Muye Village this time. The two armies are at war. Although this is not absolute, the war has not yet broken out. Under normal circumstances, the leader of a village , it will not be difficult to make.

Secondly, he knew that the third generation must have received a report from Orochimaru, and knew that he could escape from being surrounded by cloud ninja, and felt that he should still have a hole card, so he was relieved to let him go.

"If that's the case, then fine."

It was a matter of great concern to the village, no matter how big a personal relationship was, it had to be put aside, and Zilai had to obey orders.

"Rikimaru, this time your task is very difficult. You have to go to three villages successively, Yanyin Village, Sandyin Village and Yuyin Village."

Once the Three Kingdoms are at war, Yuyin Village is located in the center of the Three Kingdoms, and it is difficult to escape the war, unless the three parties deliberately avoid it and attack from other countries, but the premise is that you, the Rain Country, remain neutral and do not help anyone.

According to Sandai Hokage's understanding, Hanzo is an ambitious person, so he even counted Hanzo this time.

"Yanyin Village is the strongest of these three villages, and also the most difficult to deal with, so we have to contact them first, but the old fox of the third generation of Tukage has always coveted our territory of the Land of Fire.

Moreover, a serious financial deficit has already appeared in their village, so no matter who they fight against, they will definitely provoke a war deliberately in the short term. This is also the reason why the old man is most afraid and decides to act first.

In addition, you know the situation of Hidden Sand Village better than I do. If the situation in Hidden Sand Village is really not good as you said, then their attitude is very important. They either choose to ally with us or with Hidden Rock , there is no other choice.

Therefore, Yanyin Village is your second target to contact. "

"Finally, the most troublesome thing is Yuyin Village. Although the land of Rain Country is the smallest, it is far inferior to the Five Great Ninja Villages. But I have met Hanzo, who is very strong and ambitious. He is extremely self-conscious and worships. Power, so, he is the most troublesome."

The Country of Rain is indeed a small country, and it is still living in the gap between the three major countries, but the more so, the more scruples they have, and the more elusive their attitude is, because they can have their own way.

"These are three letters, you should know what to do with them."

Jiraiya took out three letters from the previous three Hokages to Rikimaru and handed them to Rikimaru.

After Riki put it away, he put it away solemnly, he clearly knew the importance of these letters.

"If an accident happens and you can't escape, remember, don't fight hard, surrender directly, and we will find a way to redeem you when the time comes."

Hearing Jiraiya's words of concern, Riki was moved, but he was more rational. He knew very well that once he was caught, the village would pay a high price to redeem him. possibility is zero.

So he never had this kind of expectation. He could only hope that the signboard of Muye Village would still be useful now that it was not a war period.

Even in his opinion, this action looks weird no matter how you look at it, but for those who play politics, this kind of behavior of using dead soldiers to carry out tasks is nothing more than normal. In the event of an accident, the loss is within control.

This time, it can only be said that it was his misfortune. He was selected, and even the third generation valued him more, and entrusted him with the contact tasks of the three countries. He didn't know where the third generation's confidence in him was?
If it is said that this decision was made by Danzo, then needless to say, it must be uneasy and kind, but the Third Hokage, even though he is a little hypocritical at times, but he can be regarded as the other party's disciple no matter what, and he will not intentionally harm him, and there is no benefit at all. picture.

Shaking his head, Rikimaru realized that he had become a little sentimental recently. No, to be precise, since he was assassinated by Danzo continuously, and after many dark missions such as assassination and stealing information in the dark department, he was a little persecuted. .

He will think more about anything that concerns his life.

In fact, as a ninja, this kind of thinking is unacceptable, because if you have this kind of thinking, you will inevitably think too much when doing tasks, which will lead to mistakes.

But there is no way, Riki, who has lived for two lives, cares more about his own life, especially in this world, he sees the hope of living longer, so naturally he hopes to live even more. Anyone who wants to harm him, he will Will not agree.

He let out a breath, and threw out this thought, thinking about these is just thinking too much, the most important thing now is to complete the task.
