After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

As for Yinzhu, since he has Flying Thunder God, he doesn't need to hurry like his Yinnin.

Moreover, although this practice of measuring the ninja's position based on strength may have some problems during wartime.

But in the current situation of Otogakure.

Yin Zhu knew very well that only in this way could he better complete the combat mission.

Ninjas tend to obey those who are more powerful than themselves.

If he allowed a ninja who was weaker than himself to command him, then even if the other party was extremely intelligent like the Nara clan, it would be difficult for him to gain the recognition of those unruly wandering ninjas.

Fortunately, Zabuza, Kabuto and others are ninjas from large ninja villages. Even though they may lack experience in large-scale wars, they at least have rich mission experience.

Yin Zhu doesn't have to worry too much about how to lead hundreds of people on an expedition battle. He believes that Zabuza and the others can still manage hundreds of people.

Two days later.

When the sun begins to set, dusk arrives promptly.

A small town called Takinin Village, located on the southern border of Taki Country, seems particularly peaceful.

The place is lush with vegetation and filled with the atmosphere of a paradise, while the buildings in the village exude warmth under the afterglow of the setting sun.

This small town is located in the mountains, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and has beautiful scenery. It looks like a completely enclosed village.

However, due to its superior geographical location, it became the settlement of the first generation of Taki Ninja, and now it has successfully developed into one of the rare prosperous areas in Taki Country.

Therefore, although it is a small mountain town, it is still prosperous and bustling, like a hidden little world.

Not only are there huge crowds of people, but there are also all kinds of roads, shops and entertainment facilities.

It was just an ordinary evening.

The izakayas, shops, teahouses and other places in the city have entered the prime time of the day, with bustling crowds of people coming and going, making it extremely lively.

Among the numerous shops on both sides of the street, there is a small shop with ordinary decoration, but its business is very booming.

The unique food design that combines Sukiyaki and big pot cooking into a shabu-shabu is ingenious and is loved by travelers because of its affordable price and delicious taste.

At this moment, the inner hall was bustling with noise and excitement.

Almost every table was full of guests, and the waiters were very busy, walking quickly and sweating profusely.

Among these guests were many local merchants from Takikuni.

They chatted and laughed about the bad times in various industries;

There are also some chivalrous warriors with swords on their waists. They behave boldly and drink lavishly, and their words reveal a heroic and fearless spirit.

There were more ordinary people, who were concentrating on playing the game of finger-guessing and drinking, completely immersed in their own noisy world.

However, in this lively atmosphere, there are always a few special figures that attract people's attention.

They always cast their eyes on the middle-aged man who was drinking alone in the corner of the inner hall, his eyes flickering, as if he was discussing something.

The middle-aged man had a dark complexion, unshaven beard, a soft hat, and a loose robe. With his sturdy body, he looked unrestrained and uninhibited, with a bit of the spirit of a wandering warrior.

He wore a ninja forehead guard with a downward arrow as the symbol.

But at this moment, someone drew a line through the middle of the arrow...

Seeing this, the diners eating and drinking in the inner hall were all well-informed. It was no wonder that this dark-skinned man drinking alone in the corner was actually a Takigakure rebel ninja!

But this is...Takinin Village!

"Captain, even though we have confirmed that he has the intention to betray the village, he is still a senior in the village after all. Now that we are so close to him, I am afraid it is still a bit inappropriate, right?"

……

"Bullshit senior! Didn't you see that guy had already cut a knife on his forehead to show his feelings?"

"Well...but...recently it seems that many of my companions have been trying to take over Takigakure Village by controlling Fu..."

"Don't worry. The leader has already moved Fu to a safe place and will not let those people succeed."

……

"In that case, why don't we just arrest him?"

……

"What do you know? I just left him some dignity and fed him well before he set off!"

A group of Taki ninjas sitting in the middle of the inner hall seemed to intentionally raise their voices so that the big man in the corner could hear their words. At the same time, they also cast their gazes towards the corner from time to time with sarcastic expressions, as if they were waiting for something.

Just then, a burst of mocking laughter came from the table next to them.

"Tsk! What's the decency? Isn't it just that you are not sure about how to deal with him?"

……

"That guy in the corner is not just a simple Taki-nin. He almost became the village elder!"

"Unfortunately... I still lost the competition in the end."

"Isn't this obvious? He's just a commoner ninja, why should he fight with those people? You have to know that their ancestors have been high-ranking officials for generations."

……

"Hahaha - the ancestors of those guys were all killed by Jiaodu, but they still passed it down, didn't they?"

"Alas... So, everything in this world is fake, only blood is real!"

"Who said it wasn't? Look at how chaotic the Takigakure is now. Even a merchant from Taki Country like me can't stand watching it..."

In the corner, the rebel ninja's hand that was holding up the wine glass suddenly stopped in the air.

As for the diners around, they all turned to look at the well-dressed people talking at the tables next to them, their hearts full of doubts, guessing their identities.

"What did you mean by what you just said? Don't you know that your words are suspected of insulting the Takigakure?"

A young Taki ninja immediately slammed the table and shouted angrily at the group of wealthy businessmen with thick waists and big bellies.

"Tsk! Who in the whole of Taki Country is well-informed and doesn't know what's going on in our village right now? And you don't allow people to speak out." One of the businessmen curled his lips with disdain.

"Looking for death!" The young Taki ninja stood up suddenly and waved his hand to throw out a shuriken.

As an ignorant and passionate young man with a heart full of love for the village, he could not bear to hear anyone speak ill of his village.

"Whoosh" sound,

The shuriken flew through the air towards the chest of the businessman who had just spoken.

A disposable chopstick came flying like lightning!

While knocking the shuriken away, it continued to fly through the air at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

"what--"

The Taki nin only had time to let out a scream before he was hit on the head by the chopsticks.

"Bo"!

The chopsticks pierced through the head, and then with a "Duang!!!" sound, they were stuck in the center of the table. The slender chopsticks shook violently, almost forming an illusion.

Until then.

"puff!"

A string of blood flew out from behind Takinin's head, staining the brown dining table beneath him with a hint of scarlet.

The entire hall was suddenly silent, and people's faces were filled with fear.

The big man in the corner withdrew his gaze and snorted with disdain.

"Another idiot who has been brainwashed by the higher-ups!"
