Chapter 155 When the assassination mission is in progress, monthly ticket]
"I'm really not used to such a place full of water vapor."
In the thick mist, Toneri stood on a tree, holding on to the huge trunk with one hand, and said with a slight sigh.
"There's nothing we can do. The Kingdom of Water is on the sea. It's morning now, and there's nothing we can do with such heavy fog."
A figure fell next to Toneri, with slightly flowing golden hair and a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Namikaze Minato.
"I said, you two are too calm. I am extremely nervous. Can't we consider our moods?"
After the words fell, three more figures fell next to Toneri and the others. The words sounded very nervous, but there was only laziness in their voices.
Regarding the three people who appeared again, Toneri ignored them and just turned to look at Minato. His words were full of "sincere" doubts, "Minato, why are the two of us with them? It's so obvious that we are here to hug each other."
Thigh ones?”
Minato shrugged. The three people who appeared behind him were all familiar with each other and knew each other well. "We have different missions from them. We just happened to enter the Kingdom of Water together."
"Eh? So it turns out that their missions are different from ours? I thought the third generation uncle had already thought about it for us and let the 'legendary' Ino Shika Butterfly take us through this Jounin test while lying down."
Both his expression and his voice are full of regret, which shows that it comes from his heart.
The three people who came out from behind were none other than the current generation of Ino Shikacho, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Kaiichi.
They are all old acquaintances of Toneri and Minato, and their relationship with each other is quite good.
After all, Toneri lived in Nara Shikaku's family for a long time, and had a very high family status in their family, and even became a devil-like existence in Nara Shikaku's heart.
Even now, due to the smooth opening of the cattery, Toneri has successfully started his own business and has become a famous business star in Konoha. Every once in a while, he will go back to Nara's house for a meal, euphemistically saying, "Let's take a look."
Aunt Nara Tsumi, by the way, please give Nara Shikaku some guidance on housework."
Of course Nara Tsumi welcomes this.
After all, their family has become a loyal fan of Toneri Cattery. Nara Tsuimi alone has directly purchased three cats, making him a big customer.
I just feel sorry for Nara Shikaku.
"Please, don't say that you are so worthless every time. If you talk too much, it will be easy for others to think so. After a fight with you, they will know that you are talking nonsense."
Shikaku Nara understands this very well.
He recently fought against Toneri. Under Toneri's instigation and under the "coercion" of his father Nara Shikaku, it ended in Nara Shikaku's crushing defeat.
Although he is not a head-on fighting ninja and relies on his brains to make a living, you must know that he became a ninja much earlier than Toneri.
When Toneri first came to Konoha, he was already a genin, but when Toneri became a special jounin, he was only a chuunin.
Even though Toneri has now begun to prepare for the jounin exam, he is still only a chuunin.
On this trip to the Kingdom of Water, the five of them acted together. Just like Minato said, it was just because they happened to be on the way and their missions were different.
However, Minato did not object to Toneri's remarks about hugging someone's thighs.
Even though Toneri was a special jounin now, Minato still had to take the jounin exam, and he was still considered a big deal in front of the three of them.
Of course, this is under the premise that neither Toneri nor Minato reveal their trump cards.
Don't look at it, whether it's Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza or Yamanaka Kaiichi, they are all just chunin.
No matter which one of the three people it is, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Toneri in a duel. Even if their dueling ability is not weak, the results are still the same.
But once the three of them gather together and become a pig, deer and butterfly, they will probably beat the shit out of everyone else.
Even a Jonin might not be able to take advantage in front of the three of them.
This is a combination that can transcend the boundaries of strength to a certain extent as long as they are combined.
The name Inarakacho existed before the establishment of Konoha.
Now the Pig Deer Butterfly formed by the three of them is the fifteenth generation Pig Deer Die.
The Nara clan, the Akimichi clan and the Yamanaka clan were very close families during the war, not only them, but also the Sarutobi clan who also had a very good relationship.
Although the Sarutobi clan is not as close as the three families, the Sarutobi clan is often a witness to each generation of the three major families.
It can also be regarded as the bestower of the title Zhuludie.
This is a very close relationship.
When Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara led the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan in the Forest to establish the Hidden Leaf Village, they first convinced the Sarutobi Clan and then successfully brought in the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamazaka clans.
of wood leaves.
Do you really think that when Senju Tobirama accepts disciples, it is just casually?
Therefore, the cooperation between the three tribes started a long time ago. Only with reasonable cooperation methods and reasonable combinations can the model of Pig, Deer and Die be truly born.
Of course, the previous relationship between the Pig, Deer and Die clans was not just because their secret arts could cooperate well with each other, but also partly because the three clans could complement each other just from the family level.
The three of them combined as chuunin can rival jounin.
"Toner, if you really feel embarrassed about hugging someone's thigh, then just treat us to a barbecue after you go back this time."
Akimichi Teiza, who is always eating, doesn't talk much, but whenever he talks about eating, his IQ will definitely rise to the level of Nara Shikaku.
"No, I'm not embarrassed. I'm very embarrassed. I'm not polite at all."
Toneri directly stretched out his hand to interrupt Akimichi Choza's words.
Both Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Kaiichi were easy to talk to, but Akimichi Choza was the only one he didn't dare to invite.
You must know that even the true prince Sarutobi Asuma, who is worth thirty-five million taels, cannot afford to invite the Akimichi clan to dinner.
"Okay, stop waffling. The mission is the most important. We may have to act separately next, so we must pay attention to safety." Yamanaka Haiichi spoke.
Among the Inaraka butterflies, there are two brains, one is Nara Shikaku and the other is Yamanaka Kaiichi.
Although he usually doesn't talk much, his observation skills and grasp of people's hearts are absolutely outstanding.
At this point, everyone's expressions became serious.
Leaving the Kingdom of Fire to perform a mission is already a relatively dangerous mission. This time, it is even more difficult to directly enter the Kingdom of Water, one of the five major kingdoms.
Previously, the five of them just happened to be on the way, patrolling ninjas across the Kirigakure Village on the outermost edge of the Water Kingdom. Now they have gone deep into the Water Kingdom, and of course they have to run around for their respective tasks.
"Yes, you should be careful. After all, you are entering the Kingdom of Water, and you may encounter ninjas from Hidden Kiri Village at any time." Minato also reminded.
The three of them nodded and disappeared into the mist at Nara Shikaku's signal.
Among the five people, there are four Chuunin and one special Jounin. Why would they do a mission to go deep into another country?
Minato and Toneri were on a Jonin assessment mission, and Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that there was more to them than just the strength they showed on the surface.
Another year has passed since the last opening ceremony of the ninja school that Toneri attended.
There are so many things that can change in one year.
Scheren practiced physical skills with Matt Dai for two years.
Ultra-high-intensity training, coupled with my own physical growth during this year, has recently reached a new height of 1.7 meters!
The change in strength is definitely considerable.
Even except Toneri himself, no one knows how far his strength has improved. Maybe only Uchiha Yoshinari and Nara Yoshino, who usually do missions together, can understand. Anyway, in their usual missions, they feel that it is getting easier and easier.
.
In this way, the extent of Toneri's improvement is somewhat dwarfed by Minato's.
You know, Minato and Kushina, under Jiraiya's "careful" teaching, their strength has made a qualitative leap.
Minato has always been a person with outstanding talents. Even without a suitable teacher to teach him, with his own efforts, he has become a very outstanding one among the many chuunin in Konoha.
During this year, after receiving careful instruction from a teacher like Jiraiya who was very compatible with him, there is no doubt that his strength has improved.
Another thing to mention is that Minato became Jiraiya's official disciple. It is said that it was because he saw the shining point in Minato, but only he himself knows the specific reason.
But Kushina didn't.
It's not that Jiraiya didn't want to accept it, but that Kushina decisively chose to give up this option after learning about Jiraiya's special hobby.
Although she still respects Jiraiya, it doesn't mean that she can accept this.
Moreover, Kushina mainly studied the sealing techniques left by the Uzumaki clan. She could not learn much of Jiraiya's skills.
So the current strength of Toner and Minato is not what it seems on the surface.
"Then let's take action." Sheren said.
Minato nodded, and the two disappeared here.
...
In non-war years, to be promoted to Jonin, you usually need to complete the Jonin assessment tasks, whether they are difficult or easy.
But their mission this time is not simple, to assassinate the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Water.
Although I don't know who issued this mission, the ninja just performed the mission and never asked about the origin of the mission.
Minato followed Toneri.
Throughout their entire mission, Toneri was taking the lead, and Minato didn't know why. It seemed that Toneri, who had never been to the Water Country, was far more familiar with the Water Country than he was.
The Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Water lives in the capital of the Kingdom of Water. As the chief minister in charge of money in the Kingdom of Water, of course he is also closely guarded by ninjas.
Not only that, there must be ninjas from Kirigakure Village permanently stationed in the capital of the Kingdom of Water.
For example, in the capital of the Land of Fire, there are twelve jounin guards like the Twelve Guardians, and the best among them are even comparable to Kage-level experts.
The Kingdom of Water may not be as good as the Kingdom of Fire, but it certainly has the power of protection, and these may be what the two of them need to face.
After crossing the border of the Water Country, the two disguised themselves.
Soon, before dark, we successfully arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Water.
In the world of ninjas, although the main combat power comes from ninjas and from various hidden villages with different strengths, there is still a being who is nominally superior to all the hidden villages, and that is every person.
The name of a country.
The daimyo of each country have almost no power, but they are the nominal rulers of each country.
Even in Konoha, the most powerful hidden village in the entire ninja world, every Hokage who wants to take office needs to be recognized by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Even if his recognition has no effect, a Hokage who has not been recognized by the Daimyo will be
If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct.
And most importantly, the daimyo controls the main financial revenue of a country. If the hidden village wants to develop normally, it needs the approval of the daimyo for funding.
Funding will largely determine the development of Hidden Village in the next year.
Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in all the hidden villages, that is, they will not attack the country's famous names easily, unless it is a desperate move. Once they do it, it may cause collective criticism from other hidden villages.
"Minato, first investigate the situation in the capital of the Kingdom of Water separately and find the residence of the Minister of Finance. It is best to also investigate the internal defense forces to facilitate our actions."
"Well, let's meet here in two hours." Minato also responded.
One of the basic qualities of a ninja is intelligence gathering.
Fortunately, their mission is not to assassinate the famous names of the Water Kingdom, otherwise even if they succeed, they may not be able to leave the Water Kingdom smoothly.
The two acted separately, and Toneri immediately used psychic skills.
A silver-white cat appeared in front of me.
It was more than a year ago that Little Silver successfully integrated the eight-tailed chakra. Now he has become a qualified ninja cat and helped Xiao Lan share some of the pressure.
Among them, it is mainly responsible for the intelligence of the Kingdom of Water.
"Xiao Yin, you already know the mission. I want everyone to work hard on the information in the capital of the Kingdom of Water."
"good."
After saying that, Xiao Yin's light body jumped up to the roof and went to collect information.
In this year, Shiren has improved not only his strength, but also his increasingly accurate intelligence system. Many places that were originally difficult to penetrate have now been penetrated. What was originally penetrated is now penetrated.
Need to be more precise.
The major hidden villages are difficult to penetrate, but the capitals of these big countries are not that difficult.
Two hours later, Minato came back, his face a little solemn, and Toneri's face, who had also received the information, was no longer as relaxed as it was at the beginning.
The two looked at each other and knew that the other party must have obtained similar information to themselves.
Taking a deep breath, Toneri said: "Two jounin and two chuunin."
Minato nodded and added: "And around his mansion, there are many elite soldiers from the Kingdom of Water guarding him. The slightest disturbance may attract the attention of all the guarding forces."
"It seems that the two of us are not the first to do this task. In other words, the other party knows our current situation. Two jounin are not the defensive strength that a minister should have."
"How to say?"
Sheren pondered for a moment and said, "Use poison."
"poison?"
After receiving Toneri's affirmative look, Minato also felt that using poison was a good method.
"I have a kind of poison here. As long as an ordinary person without chakra is poisoned, he can't last more than ten seconds."
"Okay! Since the other party has prepared in advance, the longer it takes, the worse it will be for us. Why not take action tonight?"
Both of them are resolute and decisive, and they make decisions at once.
The night is dark and windy, a murderous night.
Although they knew that the opponent had two jounin, they were not afraid.
Mission...begins...
The night owl flies across the night sky, standing on the treetops, and its occasional chirping echoes through the night sky.
No one knows the murderous intention hidden in the dark.
A wisp of refreshing night breeze blows in, making people patrolling at night feel a little bit comfortable.
Just when they were about to breathe a sigh of relief and relax, the patrol team of four fell to the ground almost instantly. The blood overflowing from their necks, the scratched trachea, and the numb body were all there.
I can't even lift a finger, let alone open my mouth even a little.
The patrolling soldiers widened their eyes in horror and wanted to sound the alarm, but found that their bodies were gradually losing strength and the look in their eyes slowly dissipated.
The two people supported the four corpses and slowly placed them.
Minato gave Toneri a thumbs up.
"What a powerful poison!"
This is what Minato wants to express.
This is both deadly and has a paralyzing effect before the opponent dies. The effect is so good that it is absolutely the perfect poison for assassination.
Shiren smiled indifferently.
He is a poisoner who studied pornography and gambling with the Sannin, so it is normal for him to use some poison.
Moreover, Tsunade's medical manual and pharmacist Nonou's medical manual both recorded some methods of using poisons.
One by one, some sentries in the light and in the dark were pulled out.
He cut a gap in the defense circle of the Minister of Finance's residence.
Peripheral defense is not difficult for ninjas like them, but the next ninja-level defense is the biggest and most troublesome.
Turn over and enter the outer wall.
After deftly dealing with a few soldiers again, he quietly approached the inner courtyard.
For ordinary people, late at night is definitely the time when their will is weakest, but for ninjas, no matter it is night or day, as long as there is a task, they will be highly focused.
Jump into the inner courtyard.
But at this moment, a large number of kunai and shuriken suddenly hit the two people who had just landed.
"Discovered!"
Toneri's expression changed, and he subconsciously threw out several shurikens, knocking down all the kunai and shurikens one by one.
"Water Release-Water Crush Wave!"
Two cold voices sounded, and two waves of water came straight from the front of the yard. In just a moment, Toner and Minato would be submerged by the water.
It seemed as if he had been prepared for it.
Several kunai fell from the sky again, and behind the kunai, burning papers were tied.
Detonating charm!
Toneri and Minato acted almost at the same time.
"Earth Release-Earth Formation Wall!"
"Wind Escape - Pressure!"
