Chapter 582 Should we continue?
In the past two years, under the leadership of Hoshigaki Kisa, the action plan of the Maintenance Force has shifted significantly.
The change from "fighting the Zero Organization" to "maintaining the peace of the ninja world" was originally pushed by Kaito behind the scenes.
After all, dealing with Uchiha Obito could be addressed at any ti, but expanding the Hidden Mist’s influence and controlling surrounding small nations was best done as early as possible.
After all, dealing with Uchiha Obito could be done at any ti, expanding the influence and control of Kirigakure Village on the surrounding small countries is better done as soon as possible.
However, after all, there are other four major ninja villages that are also watching the Maintenance Force.
Although the other four major ninja villages have also interfered with other forces that are not within their own sphere of influence in the activities of the Maintenance Force.
But after all, the purpose of the establishnt of the Maintenance Force is there.
It is not good for the Kirigakure Village to have not done any "real work" during this entire term.
Kaito simply took advantage of the contact with Orochimaru at the end of this term and took the initiative to lure out Hiruko with the information of several bloodline limit ninjas.
While stimulating Uchiha Obito, it can also be regarded as adding so "performance" to Hoshigaki Kisa.
After seeing the two pieces of information at the end of the docunt, "Trajectory of bounty hunter activities" and "Large-scale disappearance of people in the Land of Rivers", a gleam of light flashed in Kaito’s eyes.
"You really have no sense of crisis at all!"
"Notify the elder Genji for . Forget it, I’ll go directly."
Kaito, who had originally wanted to ask Terumi i to go to the Mizukage building again, stood up directly.
He placed one hand in front of him and made a seal casually. He closed his eyes and concentrated his breath. The surging ntal power in his mind instantly spread out.
In a flash, it enveloped the entire Kirigakure.
The "Psychic Terrain" unfolded.
Then Kaito kept the seal in his hand unchanged and focused his attention on the Mizukage’s office.
The "Other Dinsion Hole" was activated.
A golden halo imdiately appeared in front of Kaito and in the Mizukage’s office at the sa ti.
In the worshipful eyes of Terumi i, Kaito took a step forward.
When the golden halo disappeared, he had already arrived in the Mizukage’s office.
Looking at Kaito who suddenly appeared in front of them, the elder Genji and Ao rubbed their brows with headaches.
"Mizukage-sama, I am old now. Can you please not make surprise attacks every ti? My heart really can’t stand it."
Looking at the awkward smile on Kaito’s face, the elder Genji could only sigh helplessly.
Since his genius Mizukage developed this magical space-ti ninjutsu, it has been convenient.
Not to ntion the powerful effect of this ninjutsu in tactics and strategy, Elder Genji often benefited from the Mizukage’s ability to "open doors" in daily life.
After his own Mizukage had this ninjutsu, he began to appear and disappear all day long, and Elder Genji’s old heart really couldn’t stand it.
However, Kaito is the most outstanding Mizukage in the history of the Kirigakure Village after all. The elder Genji just ntioned it briefly and continued to talk about business.
"Mizukage-sama, did you co here after reading the information sent back by the Maintenance Force?"
Hearing that the elder Genji took the initiative to change the subject, the embarrassed look on Kaito’s face disappeared and he said seriously.
"That’s right. Originally, they said that Kisa would achieve so results before leaving office. I didn’t expect that they would catch the tail of Zero Organization through intelligence."
Elder Genji nodded at first, then shook his head slightly.
"In fact, it is not entirely the result of the investigation by the Maintenance Force themselves."
"According to the information sent back by the White Zetsu Squad from Konohagakure, it was actually Konoha’s Anbu who first investigated the whereabouts of the bounty hunter nad Kakuzu."
"After that, even the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato went out in person to encircle and suppress him, but the action seed to be detected by the other party in advance, allowing the other party to escape the encirclent. The Maintenance Force followed the map and found the other party’s clues again."
Kaito was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"Namikage Minato went out in person and Kakuzu ran away? When did it happen?"
Konohagakure Village, or Namikage Minato, has been trying its best to track down the movents of the Zero Organization since the end of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
Kaito had actually known about this for a long ti.
At first, Konoha would share so of the investigation information with the Maintenance Force led by Hoshigaki Kisa.
However, as ti went by, perhaps because the Maintenance Force never made any substantial progress, or perhaps the spies planted by Konoha in the Kumogakure Village vaguely sensed sothing and no longer trusted the Maintenance Force.
Eventually, the Konohagakure and the Maintenance Force pursued their investigations separately
As the forr strongest ninja village, although Konoha has declined in recent years, it has a deep foundation after all, and it is not surprising that Konohagakure can investigate the whereabouts of Kakuzu.
But he didn’t expect that Namikaze Minato personally could actually let Kakuzu escape.
Although Namikaze Minato has no record of taking action in public as the Hokage in the past two years.
However, all kinds of information show that Namikaze Minato has now successfully sealed half of the Nine-Tails in his body and officially beca the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
Counting the super mobility brought to him by Flying Thunder God, isn’t it easy to catch Kakuzu?
After hearing Kaito’s question, the elder Genji explained.
"Konoha’s operation took place three days ago, and the intelligence was only sent back to the village yesterday. I was originally planning to report this to the Mizukage today."
Kaito thought about it. At this ti yesterday, he was still in the Land of Snow to deal with follow-up matters. The failure of Konoha’s operation was not a big deal, so it was normal that he was not notified imdiately.
Seeing Kaito express his understanding, the elder Genji continued.
"As for the failure of Konoha’s operation, the intelligence reported that after Konoha surrounded the bounty hunter suspected to be Kakuzu, Namikaze Minato killed him on the spot."
"It’s just that there was only a broken heart in the body, and his teammates never showed up, so it was confird that the other party only left a clone to attract firepower and escaped from Konoha’s encirclent in advance."
"And the maintenance team later noticed that there were several small-scale population disappearances, which overlapped with the activity trajectory of the bounty hunter suspected to be Kakuzu, so they were able to lock on the target again."
Kaito nodded after hearing this.
Kakuzu’s teammate, Mōryō, required living souls to create his "Undead Legion." Kaito had acquired this information from Orochimaru.
Currently, only a few people in the Maintenance Force know about this, so it is not surprising that they can lock the enemy before Konoha.
After explaining the situation, Elder Genji looked at Kaito who was thoughtful and spoke slowly.
"So, the focus now is."
"After taking down a formal mber of the Zero Organization, do we still need to let Hoshigaki Kisa continue to pursue the traces of Kakuzu and Mōryō?"
