Chapter 206 Nishida Itaru's Help
"Don't you have any shame? If others find out about this, you'll be laughed at mercilessly."
Seeing Kyosuke sit down leisurely, completely unconcerned about other people's gazes and discussions, Asuma found it hard to accept.
Hey, stop pretending to be innocent!
Your father is a lecherous old scoundrel who peeps into women's bathhouses every day.
You're such a lecherous scoundrel, sneaking around and getting Hong pregnant.
Don't think I don't know your background.
If your father knew you were here at such a young age, he might actually feel proud.
Kyosuke, lost in thought, chuckled to himself and then cheekily leaned closer to Asuma, whispering something under his breath.
"If you don't tell, I don't tell, and Shisui doesn't tell either, no one will know. You're not a child anymore; you need to be brave enough to break through."
Seeing Kyosuke and Asuma whispering furtively to each other, Shisui felt even more awkward standing to the side.
We're just here to gather information for our mission.
This is supposed to be a perfectly legitimate matter, but the way you're whispering about it makes it seem like you've really done something shady.
Kyosuke and Asuma weren't really worried about the negative impact; they were just young people full of energy and bored waiting around, so they chatted with Asuma for a bit to pass the time.
Not long after, perhaps the boss received the news, a staff member came out and led the three of them inside.
Everything went smoothly, and without resorting to impolite methods, all three were in a good mood.
Once inside, Shisui maintained a serious expression, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
Asma tried to remain calm, his eyes darting around, and his face flushed.
Kyosuke remained calm, inwardly feeling a sense of self-satisfaction: In the midst of war and turmoil, countless people are struggling to survive, yet this place is doing so well, with a constant stream of customers even in broad daylight.
After passing through the hall, they arrived at a small room and met the boss.
"My name is Nishida Itaru. You've come to find me, probably for a mission."
Nishida Itaru was a man in his forties or fifties with sallow skin. His left sleeve was empty, indicating that he was missing his left arm.
At that moment, he sat on the sofa and glanced at the Konoha headbands worn by Kyosuke and the other two.
Seeing this, Kyosuke and the other two thought that he must have been seriously injured and his strength had greatly decreased, which was why he hadn't been conscripted by the village.
Jonin are a very important fighting force, especially in this era of war, many retired Jonin of Konoha have been re-enlisted.
"Hello, senior. I have come here to seek your help."
Kyosuke and his two companions bowed slightly, greeted each other politely, introduced themselves, and stated the purpose of their visit.
This mission wasn't required to be kept secret, so Kyosuke explained it in great detail.
As Nishida Itaru listened to Kyosuke's words, his brows gradually furrowed, and finally he sighed silently.
"I just received news this morning that a town in the east has been destroyed, but I didn't expect the situation to be so serious."
Asuma felt somewhat disappointed when he heard that Nishida knew so little information, feeling that he couldn't offer much help.
Kyosuke and Shisui listened silently.
“I have lived here for many years and I am quite familiar with the surrounding terrain. The other party must have acted very quickly to cause such great damage in such a short time. In order to buy time, they must have chosen the most convenient route.”
As Nishida spoke, he stood up and took a map from the bookshelf in the corner.
Open the map; it shows towns, rivers, forests, and mountains.
"In this area, the most convenient roads are the plains on both sides of the river, along these few lines."
Nishida stretched out his finger and drew several lines on the map.
"There are two key points here, and they are very likely to pass through them. Once some traces are found at one of these points, and combined with the location of the destroyed town, we can roughly deduce the enemy's location."
Sure enough, these local bullies are quite capable!
Listening to Nishida Itaru's continuous explanations, Kyosuke and the other two felt they had gained a lot.
This information is extremely valuable and can only be obtained by spending a lot of time. If no one had told Kyosuke and the others, it would have taken them a long time just to explore the terrain.
Kyosuke felt he had gained a lot, while Kiichiro was furious.
Just now, Kyosuke entered the store, a scene witnessed by Kiichiro who had just arrived.
At that moment, Kiichiro stood on the street corner, wiping the sweat from his brow. The fat on his belly trembled involuntarily, his lungs felt like a sea of fire, and hot breath kept billowing from his mouth.
"Damn it! I ran myself ragged trying to save you! And you went to a brothel!"
"Visiting a brothel is one thing, but bringing two children along is another!"
"It's one thing to bring a kid, but they didn't even bring me!"
"You always complain about being poor, so this is where you spend all your money!"
Oniichiro's forehead veins throbbed as he cursed Kyosuke to stimulate his numb mind caused by the long journey.
Having found Kyosuke, Kiichiro dared not approach him directly.
Because Shisui's Sharingan is difficult to deal with, if he were to discover anything, even just the slightest suspicion, it would cause Kyosuke a great deal of trouble.
After all, Kyosuke's persona was that of a perfect Konoha ninja and a future Hokage disciple.
"The Qing team is very strong. Even if I rush as fast as I can, I might not be much faster than them. I can't afford to waste any time!"
After a moment, Kiichiro calmed down and his mind began to work quickly again.
"No rush, analyze it step by step."
"First, we need to clarify our purpose. This time, it's to save Kyosuke's life in case he's in danger."
"Under this premise, we cannot allow Kyosuke to be suspected."
Based on the strength comparison, even if Kyosuke can't beat the Blue Team, he still has a good chance of escaping if he abandons his teammates in time and uses his opponents as scapegoats.
However, battles can change in an instant, and if Kyosuke is ambushed, he might not be able to escape.
Having prior intelligence can easily change the course of a battle.
Thinking of this, Kiichiro missed Mimori very much.
If Misuzu were here, he could directly take action against the Blue Squad, artificially creating conflict. This would allow him to continue dealing with the Blue Squad in a logical and sustainable way, objectively relieving Kyosuke's pressure.
"I'm a mage who does research; I'm not good at combat at all. I don't dare to go in directly when facing enemy team battles."
Kiichiro frowned, deep in thought, when suddenly he slapped his forehead.
"What an idiot. Why did I keep thinking about fighting? I could have just lured Kyosuke and the others away. As long as I could stall until night, I could have informed Kyosuke. With Kyosuke's cunning, he would never put himself in danger."
Thinking of this, Kiichiro looked at the pedestrians on the street and said to himself, "I'm sorry."
He knew Kyosuke's mission was to catch those who caused trouble, so he decided to play that role.
What's even more interesting is that it was Itakura Ko and his gang who did all this. Kiichiro had personally experienced it and was very experienced in impersonating them.
To make the performance more realistic, they had no choice but to commit mass killings.
Of course, what he was actually portraying wasn't Ko Itakura and his group, but rather a group of wandering ninjas.
Although Konoha and Kirigakure are enemies, it is unlikely that the two sides would exchange information.
But if one day they sit down and talk, they might discuss this operation.
Then, after checking the accounts, oh dear, an unknown person appeared in this operation, a person disguised as a Kirigakure ninja, who coincidentally saved Kyosuke. Isn't there something wrong with that? Should we investigate?
Although the possibility is very small, it should not be ignored.
Kyosuke's teacher, Minato Namikaze, will soon be vying for the Hokage position, and Kyosuke himself will also strive for that title in the future, which will inevitably create a large number of powerful enemies.
These enemies will stop at nothing to stop Minato Namikaze and Kyosuke.
Even if they don't find any problems, they'll still frame you, let alone if there really are problems.
They might not be able to find it, but Kiichiro cannot ignore it, and he cannot afford to take any chances.
Ronin are much easier to deal with. They are as numerous as weeds, causing destruction and killing everywhere in the war-torn era. They do similar things to Itakura Ko and his group, so their appearance is not at all abrupt.
Moreover, their lifespan is short; they die in batches, and new batches join in, resulting in rapid updates and iterations, making it impossible to trace them.
"I hope everything goes smoothly and we can lure Kyosuke away before the enemy arrives."
After silently praying, Oniichiro created dozens of shadow clones.
They were divided into two groups. One group was the surveillance group, which occupied high points such as water towers and tall buildings in the town to monitor the entire town. Once they discovered the Blue Squad or any other emergencies, they would immediately report to Oniichiro.
The other team was a reconnaissance group, which traversed the streets and alleys to familiarize themselves with the town's terrain.
A moment later, Kiichiro received the town's information in his mind and then silently left the town.
A few minutes later, eight ninjas with different appearances appeared outside the town gate.
