"Rember it well, you might need it at any ti. Your captain here once provoked a great enemy outside. I didn't kill him, so he might be targeting and sending people to assassinate !"
Satoru said with a smile.
"A great enemy? Is he from the Hidden Cloud Village or the Hidden Stone Village?"
The Kazekage is an ally now and suffered heavy losses in the Third Shinobi World War, so it's unlikely to be him.
The Hidden Mist Village is currently closed off, so it's impossible to encounter them. That leaves only the other two.
"From the Hidden Rain Village, but it's not a big problem. According to intelligence, he's quite stable now. The main thing is that I just discovered an enemy of the Hogoromo Clan…"
Satoru smiled and recounted what had just happened.
"This company is pretty similar to our Village, they also have internal conflicts. It's the first ti I've encountered a conflict between major companies," Inuzuka Tsuyoshi said.
Hyuga Chong: "Of course, you haven't touched the family business yet. In our Hyuga, we control companies related to the construction industry, and we often encounter this kind of thing. It's just that our family also controls military and political power, which makes those capitalists rein it in a bit. Even so, they still dare to hire a Ninja to assassinate important company mbers."
"Yes, for profit, they even dared to hire a Ninja to enter our Abura territory, wanting to steal our insect-rearing thods. They are very bold," Abura Shikyō said.
The Abura raise various mature insect colonies that can be applied to various pharmaceutical industries, providing a continuous source of dicine for the dical industry.
The Hyuga have the Byakugan. As long as their subordinates complete the construction, they send out Ninja, and by observing with the Byakugan, they can determine if the building is stable or not, which is highly praised in the construction industry.
So, as Chunin, they would intentionally or unintentionally learn so things after encountering these matters.
"Eh? Why doesn't my family have this?" Inuzuka Tsuyoshi scratched his head. They are also a big family, so why hadn't he encountered it?
Satoru was speechless: "Your family excels in professional fields, naly veterinary dicine and dog breeding. The profit chain is different from theirs."
"Is that so, haha!" Inuzuka Tsuyoshi laughed heartily.
"In short, our mission is to help them get through the trial and ensure the safety of their descendants during the trial. These things are none of our business, but just in case, everyone needs to be prepared to respond.
"If they are willing to upgrade the mission to S-rank, it's not like we can't help. After all, they've been treating us well with good food and drinks along the way. We can't bite the hand that feeds us!
"However, safety cos first. If the enemy is too strong, we won't do it. We'll make a run for it first, understand?"
Satoru exhorted.
"Captain, you're too flexible with the Ninja Code," Abura Shikyō complained.
Konoha Ninja Code:
During a mission, if there is a discrepancy with the assigned mission rank, the captain can assess the situation and decide whether to continue the mission.
Every mission is carefully considered by the Hokage, who assigns it to the appropriate Ninja squad based on its difficulty. When the mission rank and the actual situation don't match, the captain can make a judgnt on whether to proceed.
"Nonsense, besides having a wife who can support , I'm also very capable of earning money, alright? This kind of situation is often encountered during missions. When you have the ability, how can you refuse an opportunity to earn money?"
Satoru said irritably.
He was not just a man who relied on his wife; he could also earn his way.
Since Konoha established a Ninja Code, it should naturally be put to good use.
"It's decided then. Tomorrow, I'll talk to their person in charge. Anyway, they originally hired a sensory Ninja, so they're already prepared for us to investigate. I won't be too direct; I'll just subtly ntion that they have enemies. I believe a shrewd businessman will know what to do."
…
The next day.
Hogoromo Ken gave them a deep look. He didn't say much about their investigation, and was even a little relieved that they had discovered the enemy's actions in advance.
"I will consider raising the mission rank. Thank you for your reminder."
…
Swish, swish!
A team of ten children, around twelve years old, stood outside the Hogoromo Clan's gate. Leading them to the Wind Breath Valley was an adult from the Hogoromo Clan, while Satoru's team landed.
"It's a pleasure. I am Hagoromo Ki, and I am responsible for leading everyone to the Wind Breath Valley, the place of trial." Hagoromo Ki bowed politely, his right hand over his chest.
The Hogoromo Clan juniors beside him all wore the Kensei-kan, the symbol of their guardian family, on their heads. This was the mark of a Hogoromo guardian Ninja.
They looked at Satoru and the others with curiosity.
They had never seen Ninja from the Five Great Shinobi Countries before, only knowing that they could be hired for money. Now that they saw them, they felt that sothing was off with all of them.
The leader's entire face, except for his mouth, was bandaged. They wondered how he saw where he was going.
Next to him was soone who brought a dog on a mission. The dog's eyes looked silly, as if it were about to point at them with its index finger at any mont.
One wore sunglasses and looked slightly more normal, dressed quite fashionably.
Another rolled his eyes at people, showing no politeness at all.
"These are Konoha Ninja? They all seem to have strange quirks."
"Yeah, I heard the stranger you dress, the faster you die. Don't they know that?"
"Shh, let them be ugly; we'll be handso. If they were handso, what would be left for us?"
Compared to Satoru's team, who, apart from Abura, wore Ninja vests, the Hogoromo Clan's vests were much more elaborate. Their functions were no less than Konoha's vests, and perhaps even more.
With the developnt of Ninja World technology, as a capitalist family, their vests incorporated so high-tech features.
The vests looked much stronger in defence than Konoha's, likely made of special materials. They also had so summoning jutsu formulas engraved on them, probably capable of summoning various Ninja tools at any ti.
"Captain, their equipnt is so luxurious!" Inuzuka Tsuyoshi looked at their equipnt with envy.
Hyuga Chong said, "They are indeed luxurious. Their vests are equipped with various summoning jutsu formulas. The earpieces they use are the latest high-tech wireless radios from the Land of Lightning's Wireless Limited Company, capable of communicating in extre environnts. This is equipnt that the Land of Lightning has restricted from leaking out. Even their inner linings have stronger defence than ours."
"It's great to be rich," Abura Shikyō said.
Satoru smiled, "They are indeed luxurious, but they still need us to take care of them. It also shows that this mission is not simple. Perhaps the Wind Breath Valley requires these things, which is why they prepared them. So we need to be prepared for similar situations.
Be careful."
Storage summoning jutsu indicates that they need to prepare a lot of supplies to deal with unexpected situations. Strong vests and inner linings suggest that the Wind Breath Valley might cause damage to the human body. New wireless radios indicate that ordinary communication in the Wind Breath Valley is likely ineffective.
