Chapter 277 Assassination Mission
The Kingdom of Fire, Konoha.
Hatake Sakumo just accepted a mission, or a confidential mission that Hokage forced him to do.
Assassinate Mifune, General of the Iron Country!
Although Hokage-sama was still as gentle as usual, Sakumo could feel the suspicion and distrust.
This mission is more like testing his loyalty!
Because Mifune, the former General of the Iron Country, is now an internal member of the Akatsuki Organization, he is in charge of most of the affairs of the Iron Country for the Akatsuki Organization on weekdays.
And right now, who doesn't know that this suddenly rising Xiao organization is actually the power of Qianshou Zhenyang!
Moving the three ships is equivalent to provoking the Xiao organization and slapping Zhenyang in the face.
Shuo Mao chose to entrust this task to him. If he said that there was no other meaning, it would be very difficult for Shuo Mao to convince himself.
But since it is a task, it must be completed.
So the next day, Shuo Mao set out on the road with two other companions.
Shuo Mao had never met these two people before, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction.
Because he knew that it was not enough to keep Kakashi behind, this was the person sent by Hokage-sama to monitor his every move.
Shuo Mao had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't understand why he suddenly lost the trust of the village.
Could it be because he concealed the truth about taking away the air fortress?
Well, it was indeed his fault.
Then start with this task and win back this trust.
Shuo Mao showed a firm gaze.
. . . . . . . . .
A few days later, Shuo Mao and his party put on a disguise, and finally arrived at the original Iron Country, now the Iron City of the Akatsuki Country.
Sakumo also came to the Iron Country once, in order to forge his chakra dagger.
At that time, the Kingdom of Iron gave him the feeling that the hierarchy was strict. If an ordinary person dared to offend the samurai, the samurai even had the right to kill him on the spot.
And although there are usually some crafting businesses here, it is very repulsive to outsiders, especially ninjas.
In short, Shuo Mao's impression was rigid, unfriendly, and lifeless.
But everything that appeared in front of his eyes now seemed to be different.
Although the samurai walking on the street can still get the awe and courteousness of the people around them, but the panic and fear have disappeared.
And those samurai actually had smiles on the faces of the people around them, as if they were no longer so superior.
Especially the bloody street fights that used to happen from time to time are completely invisible now.
This is very strange!
Just now, Shuo Mao saw that there seemed to be some conflict between the two warriors carrying swords, and their faces were red from arguing.
But both sides were very restrained and didn't use their swords, instead they agreed to go somewhere.
There are many changes like this, such as streets that are much cleaner and tidier than before, new houses and buildings, and public toilets
Even ordinary people have happier smiles on their faces.
All of this has had a great impact on Shuo Mao. I can't figure out what can make a country undergo such earth-shaking changes in just a few months?
Nor does it seem like the result of bloody suppression.
Shuo Mao was not in a hurry to find someone, as it was so easy to scare the snake away.
So he took people to find a hotel first and stayed there first, and then the three of them went out together to inquire about information and prepare for the mission.
In fact, at this time, it is the fastest and most efficient way for the three of them to investigate information separately, but when Shuo Mao made this suggestion, the other two refused on the spot, and even the reasons they gave were lame.
Actually said that this is the first time he came to the Iron Country, and he was afraid of getting lost? !
Really have you!
Two jounin, actually worried that they would get lost?
The Kingdom of Iron is not a maze, isn't that nonsense!
Shuo Mao also guessed that they must have other tasks, so he simply didn't make things difficult for them. It would be good for everyone to complete the task earlier.
So we went out together and started looking for information.
The astonishment in Shuo Mao's eyes became more and more obvious after this inquiry.
All the changes they saw were brought about by the Akatsuki organization, or 'Master Yong En'!
Many unreasonable rules and regulations have been abolished.
Although the samurai are still considered a privileged class, their rights have been greatly reduced. At least it is impossible to kill people in the street like before.
Because there are already a group of unbelieving guys who have tried it for everyone with their own heads, it is true!
Coupled with the large number of thorny warriors who were cleaned up at the beginning, all the ones who can survive now are those with brains, or those who are "cowardly" and more cautious.
So there may still be feelings of xenophobia, but no one will show it blatantly.
So even if you see a samurai and a ninja going to drink together on the streets of the Iron Country, don't be too surprised, the other party must be a member of the Akatsuki organization!
Ordinary people are actually so simple, whoever can bring them more practical benefits and enable them to live a better life, they will support whoever!
And since the Akatsuki organization took over the country of Iron, everyone has seen all these changes, and experienced them in life, which is naturally a joy and support.
Shuo Mao's expression became very complicated since he didn't know when.
He has to admit that guy Zhenyang has done a good job. If the other countries occupied by the Xiao organization are also in this situation, then maybe this is a great thing for the people of those countries. .
He even couldn't help thinking, if Shinyo hadn't been taken away back then, Nidaime-sama was still alive, and when Shinyo became Hokage, would he have done better than Sarutobi Hiruzen?
This was already a rebellious idea, but the answer in his heart was more inclined to that person.
In addition, he also learned some things that happened in this country that he didn't understand.
For example, the huge stone monument that suddenly appeared in the center of the main city.
A lot of handwriting will appear on it every day, and it is said that they are all kinds of tasks.
The samurai, ninjas and even ordinary civilians staying in Iron City can pick it up, and after completing it, not only can they get money as a reward, but they can even get extremely precious contribution points.
As long as the contribution points are enough, it can be exchanged for items and knowledge that any Xiao organization owns and develops exchange permissions, etc.
You can even pray to the "God" and use your contribution points to achieve something that would never be possible with your own efforts.
For example, you have a very powerful enemy and you want revenge, but you simply can't.
At this time, you can use enough contribution points to apply.
Once passed, there will be someone specially assigned to help you avenge.
This can be regarded as an alternative form of publishing tasks, but it is not for everyone.
Otherwise, the contribution points can be used maliciously.
