Chapter 77 2 Stupid Returns to Kumogakure
How about this?
As he spoke, Tetsuya took out a kunai and cut off a portion of the scroll.
The scroll records eight gates, but one gate is missing; the final gate, the Gate of Death, is gone.
"I'll give him the first seven gates first. Those seven should be enough. I'll give him the last one when I find a way to solve the problem of the Death Gate, okay?"
He then added.
"If all else fails, I'll find a way to revive him; it'll just cost some money."
For a moment, Izuna didn't know what to say, after all, Tetsuya had already put it that way.
"Yes, but it's too early to teach them this level of secret technique. Let's wait until they've grown a bit more."
"Yes, you have a point."
Nagato and his group are still too weak. They've only just begun their training in ninjutsu, and forbidden techniques are still too far removed from their understanding.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Lightning, in the Hidden Cloud Village.
Yeluka and Ruby finally returned to their village.
As soon as the two stepped into the gates of Kumogakure, they were surrounded by other ninjas.
"Yeluka, Yurubi, why are only the two of you back? Where are the others? Where are the descendants of the vortex?"
"The mission failed, but we brought back other things."
"Mission failed? It's alright, it's good that you're back. After all, this is Konoha. Come on, I'll take you to see the Raikage."
"it is good."
Raikage Building.
Seeing this, the Raikage sat behind his desk, but there were no official documents on his desk. All the official documents were on a table next to him, and an assistant was processing the documents.
"Lord Raikage."
The door to the Raikage's office opened, and the ninja led Ruby and Yeruka into the office.
"Yurubi and Yeruka, who went to Konoha on a mission, have returned, but only the two of them have come back."
"Lord Raikage!"*2
The two bowed to the Raikage. Although they were with Tetsuya, as people of the Land of Lightning, they genuinely respected the Raikage.
"You're back. Thank you for your hard work."
"I am very sorry, Raikage-sama, our mission has failed."
"They had successfully kidnapped the Uzumaki descendant, but he was rescued by the people of Konoha."
"However, we brought back other things while Konoha was in turmoil."
"Those brothers sacrificed themselves to cover us."
The two of them took turns talking, setting the tone for the entire incident without giving Raikage a chance to ask any questions.
The mission failed, but they retrieved other items; the other ninjas had sacrificed themselves to cover their escape.
As they spoke, each of them placed a scroll on the ground.
The Third Raikage took the scrolls and unfolded them one by one. One scroll contained the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, and the other contained Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld.
These two ninjutsu are quite rare and have a strong Konoha flavor. One is a ninjutsu of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the other is a technique of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.
Without a doubt, they definitely stole this from Konoha.
However, to be honest, these two techniques don't really suit the ninjas of their Hidden Cloud Village.
They prefer to charge straight in rather than use ninjutsu.
However, it is still an A-rank ninjutsu, which is quite precious even in their Hidden Cloud Village.
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work on this mission."
The Third Raikage, A, put away the scroll.
"Although the mission to kidnap the descendants of the Vortex failed, it is not your fault. This mission itself has a high risk of failure, and it is already very lucky that you were able to come back alive."
Not only that, you also brought back Konoha's ninjutsu scrolls, which can be considered a meritorious service. Our Hidden Cloud Village has always been fair in its rewards and punishments; those who commit offenses are punished, and those who perform meritorious service are naturally rewarded.
"That concludes our mission. Remember to collect your reward later."
The earthen platform beside it served as a reminder.
"Lord Raikage, they have now been exposed, so continuing with the previous mission is probably not a good idea."
"Yes, that makes sense."
The Third Raikage, Ai, nodded in deep agreement.
"You two have been lurking in the Land of Fire for many years, haven't you?"
"Yes, Lord Raikage."
"I dare not speak of anything else, but we two are quite familiar with the situation in the Land of Fire."
"good very good."
The Third Raikage grinned and slammed his hand on the table, making his decision.
"Starting today, a special operations ninja squad will be established targeting the Land of Fire. This ninja squad will be managed by the two of you. You can decide how many people to have and where to recruit them."
"I have only one request: from now on, all missions concerning the Land of Fire are entrusted to you two. You two must carry them out well, understand?"
"Understood, I will not let Lord Raikage down!" *2
The two spoke with unprecedented firmness.
What a joke! Don't be fooled by the fact that the Raikage only put them in charge of a small ninja squad. The key point is what he said next: they can decide how many people they need and where they need to recruit them. As long as the mission is completed, he doesn't care about anything else.
Even if you've never worked in a corporate world, just hearing these few words should be enough to tell you just how much power these people wield.
"Very good, you can go down now. Remember to collect your mission reward."
"Understood, thank you Lei Ying."
"Then we two will take our leave."
The two bowed respectfully to Raikage once more before leaving.
After the two left, the Raikage looked at the earthen platform to the side and spoke.
"Tutai, do you think there's something wrong with those two?"
Although the Raikage of each generation has been quite reckless, it doesn't mean they lack intelligence. On the contrary, those who can become the Raikage of a village are all somewhat shrewd.
"Lord Raikage, I think those two should be fine."
Tudai replied.
"I checked the records. Yeluka and Yurubi have been lurking in the Land of Fire for many years. Over the years, they have been sending back intelligence from the Land of Fire, and the intelligence has always been true and valid."
Before the Second Shinobi World War began, they also found merchants who sold food and iron ore, providing us with war supplies.
"You have to understand, at that time, Konoha itself lacked these war supplies, so I don't think it's very likely that Konoha deliberately released them to mislead us."
Hearing Tsuchikage's words, Raikage nodded.
Then Tu Tai continued speaking.
"Not only that, Lord Raikage, other intelligence sources have also reported that Konoha was recently attacked by a powerful enemy. A battle broke out within the village with the Sannin, and in the end, it was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who personally intervened and repelled the enemy..."
Tsuchida also revealed the information he had originally intended to tell the Raikage, indirectly confirming that there was nothing wrong with Yeruka and Yurubi's identities.
"Alright, since there are no problems, let's make good use of them. After all, the war has just ended, and our Hidden Cloud Village is short of manpower."
"Understood, Lord Raikage."
However, after leaving the Raikage's office, the two returned home and immediately summoned a messenger from the Weasel Clan to deliver information about Kumogakure to Tetsuya.
