"What rudo?"

Jūzō was stunned for a moment. When he suddenly heard this, he did not react in time.

His widened eyes were full of confusion.

"Smash what?"

(TL note: (Zá wǎ) means Smash.)

Suikazan Fuguki also asked doubtfully. He did not hear the latter part very clearly, but he heard the front part.

For a moment.

The seven people all looked at Aoba. They only heard a small part.

"Smash what?"

Everyone looked at Aoba with doubt in their eyes, but none of them felt that Aoba was spouting nonsense.

After listening to Aoba's explanation just now.

They already understood.

This spy called Rentaro was not simple at all.

Although he was now just a small spy.

In the future, he might not be a spy.

The development of this person was only limited by his identity as a spy.

When the time for the spy mission was up.

Rentaro returned to his seat.

He would definitely do something big in Kirigakure!

"Za Warudo."

Aoba repeated this name indifferently. Then, he did not say anything else. He felt that he had already explained everything he needed to do.

All that was left was to wait for tomorrow.

This would be an annual drama that would change the situation of the Third Ninja World War.

Aoba could not help but look forward to it.

"Everyone, this is the situation. Go to the ambush location. We will start Kirigakure's revival plan tomorrow morning." Aoba said in a trembling voice. This feeling was as if he had become the leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and unknowingly, his words had already taken the initiative.

"Understood."

Jūzō nodded. He looked deeply at Aoba. He was very clear that he could not measure the value of this person in front of him with his current status. In the future, this person's position in Kirigakure would definitely not be weaker than Elder Gen.

Jūzō was excited just thinking about it.

That was a legendary figure who became an elder from a spy!

At this time.

Everyone, including Jūzō, had already identified Aoba as the legendary figure of the future Kirigakure.

Just from what Aoba had said just now, it was obvious.

Apart from the elders, there was no other person in Kirigakure!

"Alright."

Aoba nodded at the seven people. He had completely completed his task of fooling them. After talking for so long, he was also thirsty and felt that it was about time.

"I'm going back. Listen to my secret code tomorrow. You must be cautious and careful. Don't easily expose Kirigakure's identity. Everything is based on Kirigakure's future. We, Kirigakure, will rise again!"

Aoba clenched his fists at the seven people and made a gesture to everyone to try their best.

All of a sudden.

The seven ninjas all clenched their fists to greet Aoba.

At this point.

Through Konohagakure's invisible barrier, Aoba successfully fooled the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Then.

Aoba turned around and left in the direction of Konohagakure. His figure disappeared into the forest shrouded in darkness under the gaze of the seven ninjas.

...

The seven ninjas did not move after watching Aoba leave. They continued to stand there.

"Rentaro is the talent that our Kirigakure truly needs!"

Jūzō looked in the direction that Aoba left and could not help but sigh.

"It has been a long time since we, Kirigakure, have had such a leader who can control the whole situation. I really saw the shadow of Elder Gen on him. I even feel that Elder Gen may not have such a scheming ability at Rentaro's age."

Jūzō stared straight in the direction that Aoba had left. Even now, the words that Aoba had just said still echoed in his mind.

It could be said that every word was engraved in his heart. It made him, a person who had no plans for life and the future, clearly see the direction of Kirigakure's future development. His heart was full of excitement, and he deeply believed that Kirigakure could rise again and be proud at the top of the world.

"He is really strong!"

Suikazan Fuguki nodded. He agreed with Jūzō's words.

"What I admire the most about him is his view of the big picture. If a person can not be controlled by emotions and can make the most favorable and correct choice every time, then that person is terrifying..."

Suikazan Fuguki said in a deep voice. His gaze shifted from Jūzō to the forest where Aoba had left.

He was a typical person who would be influenced by emotions.

It was very easy to get angry.

It was easy to get mad.

But, he didn't care.

It was precisely because of this that he had messed up many of his missions.

"Rentaro is such a calm person!"

Suikazan Fuguki gave Aoba a very high evaluation. The point that really poked him was what Aoba had said at that time. Their goal was only to get the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu, not to start a war. There was no need to involve themselves in unnecessary trouble.

This made him feel ashamed of his inferiority.

Moreover, he felt that what Aoba had said at that time would benefit him for life.

"After we get the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu back this time, I must recommend Rentaro to the Third Mizukage-sama. I feel that this person is very talented, but he lacks some opportunities." Jūzō said. Just as he said, he felt that Rentaro could be sent out to be a spy because he does not have very high resources and lacks some referrals.

"Let's go together." Suikazan Fuguki smiled and said, "We, Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, recommend Rentaro together. Presumably, the Third Mizukage-sama will look at him differently. As long as we give him a chance, he will show his talent."

"I think so too!"

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"..."

The seven ninjas expressed their agreement to this matter and were willing to recommend Rentaro together.

"Then this matter is decided!"

Jūzō nodded. He felt that this was indeed the best way to treat Rentaro.

After that.

Jūzō put away the smile on his face.

His gaze swept across the faces of the other six people.

His expression suddenly became serious.

"Now, let's go to the location of Konohagakure's main entrance and prepare for ambush!"

"Just like what Rentaro said..."

"Now is not the time to celebrate. When we get the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu and finish this mission, we can wait for Kirigakure's development."

Jūzō said to the six people. Now he had completely entered the rhythm of Aoba and was seriously thinking about the problem of ambush.

Ambush was a simple matter.

But now, Konohagakure was fighting with Kumogakure.

The frontline battlefield was not too intense.

The two sides were still testing each other.

After all, the Kumogakure Anbu Leader, Hari, was still in Konoha's hands.

Kumogakure did not act too strongly. They were also considering Hari's safety.

Jūzō did not understand before, but now he understood. Rentaro, who had just chatted with him, gave him a feeling of being resourceful. Then what kind of wisdom would Hari, who had supported Kumogakure's development for many years, have?

This made him unable to imagine...

Kumogakure was much more extreme than Kirigakure.

Over there, almost all of them were simple-minded ninjas with well-developed limbs.

If they were to fight with brute force.

In the entire Ninja World, there was no village that was a match for Kumogakure.

However, Kumogakure had always been developed in an orderly manner. After losing the Gold and Silver Brothers in the First Ninja World War, they entered a dormant period of rapid development.

Especially after the Second Ninja World War, Kumogakure took the opportunity to make preparations. After the other three villages were continuously consumed, they successfully stood at the peak of the Ninja World.

Jūzō now understood.

If there were no people like Hari, just Kumogakure and the other big and strong people would not be able to achieve this effect.

If Kumogakure and the other ninjas who specialized in physical skills were the villagers' fists and feet.

Then Hari was Kumogakure's brain, commanding these punches and kicks to hit the right position.

Now...

Kirigakure was also going to welcome the brain that belonged to them.

That was Satsuma Rentaro!

"Let's go!"

As soon as Jūzō gave the order, the figures of the seven ninjas disappeared simultaneously. They directly disappeared from the spot and rushed towards the direction of Konohagakure's main entrance.

...

On the other side.

After walking away for ten minutes, Aoba instantly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).

Swish!

Aoba's figure suddenly disappeared from where he was and appeared in the tall tower in the forest.

"Hu..."

Aoba sat on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief. He felt very tired.

The seven ninjas that he had been fooling with earlier seemed to be handling things with ease. There were no problems, but in fact, he was also on a high level of vigilance.

After all, the other side was seven top elites Jonin.

A barrier only separated the two sides, but there was no actual obstruction effect.

If there was anything wrong with what he said.

And made the seven ninjas suspicious of his identity, or dissatisfied with what he said and thus showed the situation of breaking in and attacking him regardless of the barrier...

In this regard.

Aoba still could not let his guard down.

He had always adhered to the principle of caution.

Fortunately, the entire process went extremely smoothly!

The seven ninjas were much easier to talk to than he had imagined.

Aoba was not afraid of those who were reasonable. Under the foreshadowing of the theories and information he had grasped, no one could defeat him in terms of reason.

He was afraid of those who were unreasonable, fearless, and the kind of people who want to kill you.

In fact.

Aoba's action could also be regarded as a kind of Talk no Jutsu.

It is just that it was different from Naruto's Talk no Jutsu. He is fooling and inducing based on the information difference and then using the control of the situation to affect the progress of the matter.

Naruto was... I can understand you!

"Phew..."

Aoba let out another long sigh of relief. After taking two deep breaths, he had already recovered from his nervous state.

This was the tower.

A secret base that belonged to him.

He could already relax his hanging heart.

Aoba had always been a cautious person. This had nothing to do with his strength. Even if he was playing games, it was the same. Even if he had already killed a Super God, he would still steadily expand his advantage. He would never leave any chance for the other party to turn the tables because of the waves.

The situation was the same now.

Aoba was not particularly clear about the strength of Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen. He only knew that a few of them had been killed by Duy when he opened the eight doors. In short, he had to be careful and not be careless.

Aoba lay on the ground that he had cleaned up. He raised his hands, pressed his temples, and recalled what had just happened.

Now, he wanted to do a simple review in his mind to make sure that he did not miss anything or say anything wrong.

This was still very important.

Caution was the parent of safety.

...

Half an hour later.

Aoba slowly opened his eyes. He recalled everything that had happened and confirmed that there was no problem.

"If my birthplace was Kirigakure, I might be able to accomplish something big."

Aoba couldn't help but sigh.

The words he had used to trick the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were not just a casual remark, but a strategy suitable for Kirigakure's development.

Don't make enemies easily.

Developed steadily and quietly.

Guarding the island topography and befriending the Country of Lightning across the sea.

This way, as long as there were no major decision-making accidents in the village, such as the matter of the Village of Bloody Mist, then they could be the strongest in the ninja world on the island of the Country of Water.

The natural environment of the island made the fighting strength of the water release ninjas almost double.

The conditions of the dense fog were the natural protection and barrier of the water release ninja.

However...

It was just Kirigakure.

Aoba's birthplace was Konohagakure, so he must revolve around Konohagakure and develop in a wretched way, concealing all his strength in a low profile and nipping a part the bud of threat to Konohagakure that no one noticed.

"Everything is ready now. I just need to wait for tomorrow morning."

Aoba got up from the ground of the tall tower and then used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). His figure flashed and then he appeared in Anbu's dormitory.

Aoba directly lay on the iron bed, closed his eyes, and entered a state of rest.

If it were another person, he might not be able to sleep in this state.

However, Aoba was not an ordinary person. He understood that the more important things were going to happen, the more he had to rest, conserve his energy, and adjust his energy to the best state.

This can also be said to be the actor's self-cultivation!

He would forever present his best state to the audience and the people who cooperated with him to perform.

...

The night passed quickly.

The first ray of sunlight shone on Konohagakure's ground in the morning.

The people in the village gradually woke up.

As for Aoba, who was in Anbu's dormitory.

He has long disappeared.

However.

He still very cautiously left a shadow clone in Anbu's dormitory.

Although Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) could let him return to Anbu's dormitory quickly, who knew if there would be an accident, such as, Eaton could not hold back and came to ask him for the latest chapter and found no one after entering the room. Wouldn't it be terrible?

...

Konohagakure, the main entrance.

At this moment.

The main entrance of Konohagakure was wide open.

The village was guarded by patrolling ninjas.

It was now a time of war.

The village's inspection of entering and leaving the crowd was much stricter than before.

There were two ninjas standing at the village gate. They were wearing Konohagakure's ninja clothes and Uchiha's clan badge on their arms. They were obviously Konoha Military Police Force's people.

On the outside of the village gate stood two fat ninjas. They did not wear Konohagakure's traditional ninja clothes; instead, they wore their clan uniform. From the clan badge, they belonged to the Akimichi clan. They were the people in charge of Konohagakure's gate defense.

The defense of Konohagakure's gate was two completely different kinds of Division. To a certain extent, this also reflected the importance that Konohagakure attached to entering the crowd now.

At this time.

Two ninjas appeared on the road in front of the village's main gate and walked towards the village gate.

These two ninjas were both wearing cloaks and Anbu's masks. They covered themselves so tightly that their appearances could not be seen.

Among them.

The one on the left was very tall and burly. The black cloak could not hide the muscles on this person's body.

The one on the right was an ordinary figure, and he looked a little thin in comparison.

The two of them walked side by side towards Konohagakure's entrance. Their steps were not fast, but there was a sense of oppression everywhere.

Suddenly.

The two Konoha Military Police Force members guarding Konohagakure's gate saw the two people walking toward them.

The two Konoha Military Police Force people looked at each other and could see the doubt in each other's eyes. They had never seen someone like this in the village.

Something was wrong!

The two Konoha Military Police Force immediately focused their attention on the two ninjas walking toward them.

Step by step.

Under the gaze of the two Konoha Military Police Force ninjas, the two ninjas wearing masks walked to the Konohagakure's gate.

"Stop!"

One of Konoha Military Police Force's ninjas shouted loudly. His voice was very loud and clear. He was deliberately trying to attract the attention of others. He had already smelled danger from the two people who were walking toward them.

"We are Konoha Military Police Force. Who are you? Please tell us your names!"

The other Konoha Military Police Force ninja also roared. His eyes were fixed on the two people walking toward them, and his mood instantly became nervous.

As the two Konoha Military Police Force Ninjas roared, many people around them looked in the direction of the gate, including Akimichi and the other ninjas who were guarding the gate.

All eyes were focused on the two people wearing masks and cloaks.

All of a sudden.

Everyone present realized that something was about to happen.

"You are asking for my name?"

The tall and sturdy masked man's indifferent voice rang out. Just his voice alone revealed a sense of majesty.

"There's no harm in telling you."

This person's voice was filled with deep contempt and disdain as if he was the invincible person in this world.

"My name is Gasshi!"
