Recently, many hunting missions have suddenly appeared in the Black Market.
Regardless of strength, as long as they are shinobi, they can be exchanged for money, provided that the body must be kept as intact as possible.
As soon as the news came out, bounty hunters from all over the world became excited.
Most people don't dare to target the big guys at the Jōnin level, but the middle and lower shinobi don't have similar concerns.
Especially the Genin, some small families including some wealthy and powerful people, who don't have a few Genin guards?
These people are generally not strong enough and do not master many ninjutsu, making them the easiest targets to attack.
Mito, who was strolling in the forest, was secretly targeted by a group of bounty hunters.
"He's dressed like a shinobi and doesn't look very old. He's probably a genin at best."
"Red hair, could he be a resident of the Land of Whirlpools?"
"Haha, it seems like you and I are destined to make a fortune today."
Ordinary shinobi are priced at one price, but if you catch some rare ones, even if they are also Genin, the price will increase by dozens or even hundreds of times.
After operating the Black Market for so many years, Black Zetsu and the interest groups behind it are able to pay sky-high remuneration that seems exaggerated.
Not to mention Genin and Chūnin, even if Uchiha Kyosuke kidnaps Uchiha Tajima tomorrow, Black Zetsu will be able to afford a price that matches the Uchiha clan leader.
In a word, money makes you do whatever you want.
"Little girl, you are alone." Several wandering shinobi appeared and surrounded Mito without leaving any trace.
Seeing this, the princess with the bun hairstyle, who finally had some girlish aura, said in a cold tone: "I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise there will be a few more corpses around me."
"Ha, the little girl may not have big breasts, but she has a big temper. Today, I will represent your master..."
Before he could finish his words, a kunai was thrust into his forehead.
Mito, who didn't want to cause trouble, transformed himself into the Oni of Hell and defeated all the wandering shinobi in no time.
"If you want to exchange me for money, wait for the next life." Bending down to pick up her pink little kunai, Mito snorted coldly and left in a daze.
Not far behind him, a strange white figure flashed out of thin air without causing any ripples.
...
The entire Land of Fire is in turmoil, and the Fūma Clan is colluding with the Land of Rain.
These things can be hidden from others, but they can never be hidden from Uchiha Kyosuke's eyes.
He is the great man who has been ranked first on the performance list of the Black Market for seven consecutive months.
With just one word, countless "intermediaries" would provide him with relevant information.
"The Fūma clan is definitely planning something in secret." Uchiha Kyosuke knew very well that if these guys made any move, the Uchiha clan would definitely be the first target.
Since he had nothing to do, Uchiha Kyosuke decided to go and investigate alone.
You know, he is a "dead man" now, and the enemy will not be on guard no matter how cautious they are.
"If we can't find any clues, we can catch a few shinobi we don't like and kill them. In short, this trip won't be in vain."
When they arrived at Fūma's territory, Uchiha Kyosuke summoned a small snake, cast a spell and drilled into the snake's belly, allowing the enemy to sneak in secretly.
Ninjutsu: Ninpō: Doku Hebi Kakure no Jutsu!
There is a barrier inside the snake's belly to isolate and detect people. No one can find Uchiha Kyosuke's trace if he hides inside.
It is indeed an essential means of infiltration and assassination. The spiritual contract between the Three Great Sage Regions is far more than just providing combat power.
"Hurry, bring the person into the house." The little poisonous snake slowly crawled into the territory of Fūma and soon found the suspicious target through its perception ability.
It was a group of people dressed as wandering shinobi, driving a suspicious carriage and passing the road inspection of the Fūma guards.
The summoning beast told it that there was a faint smell of blood in the car, as well as a stench of corpse that could not be covered up even by a large amount of preservatives.
Combining the information from the Black Market, Uchiha Kyosuke guessed that this was the "cargo" ready to be shipped to the Land of Rain.
"Follow him."
About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a warehouse.
The wandering shinobi team, having received the bounty, left excitedly, while the Fūma clan shinobi in charge of unloading began to deal with the corpses with curses.
"What the hell is this?" a man couldn't help but complain. "Instead of killing the enemy and invading foreign lands, I just deal with these disgusting things all day long. I'm almost turning into a maggot."
"Keep your voice down." Another middle-aged shinobi, who was a bit older, whispered to his companion, "Just bear with it and it will pass. Don't forget what the consequences will be if you offend that group."
Not long ago, the Land of Rain sent envoys to discuss the handover issue.
Someone in the clan accidentally offended the other party with words, and the leader killed him with a knife without saying a word.
In the end, all the clan members in the same team were punished, and the group of outsiders left the territory in a triumphant manner.
Many people were quite dissatisfied with this incident, but unfortunately due to the authority of the patriarch, no one dared to express it openly.
"Alas, the patriarch seems to have lost his mind now."
"Who says it's not true? What can those guys from the Land of Rain give us?"
"No more talking, let's get to work first."
The two people who were talking did not notice that a small snake had been observing them from behind for a long time.
Uchiha Kyosuke, wearing a cloak, slowly emerged from the snake's mouth and knocked the two men to the ground in the blink of an eye.
The whole process was clean and neat without causing too much noise.
Coming in front of the elder, Uchiha Kyosuke pulled open his eyelids, and the three-tomoe Sharingan gradually emitted a strange light.
Kioku no Yomimodoshi!
Depending on the level of eye power, the Sharingan can unlock different similar abilities.
Basic eye-based Genjutsu, hypnosis, memory peeking, scene reconstruction, and finally the elimination of the opponent's specific memory fragments.
With Uchiha Kyosuke's current eye power, he can probably only reach the stage of peeking into memories.
The target's strength cannot be too strong, otherwise the backlash of mental power will cause the spying to fail.
In the memory fragments, he quickly found the scene that happened that day, and the result surprised Uchiha Kyosuke very much.
"Ōtsutsuki of the Moon?!"
"How come these guys came down from the sky and colluded with the Fūma clan?"
According to the memory of the middle-aged shinobi, he not only saw the domineering Moon Ōtsutsuki, but also learned that Fūma was constantly delivering supplies and teaching ninjutsu.
At this moment, Uchiha Kyosuke finally figured out the cause and effect.
The actions, including the current Fūma clan, are all secretly supporting the Moon Ōtsutsuki.
There may be many purposes, such as joining forces to invade the Land of Fire, etc.
Uchiha Kyosuke guessed that the Fūma clan leader was probably not aware of the situation on the moon and didn't know that it was a group of guys who wanted to destroy the ninja world at any time.
Oh, maybe it wasn't once, but after returning from the Hyūga moon landing, he guessed that his enemies dreamed of revenge.
As for how the two sides are connected, he has some rough guesses, but he is not sure yet.
"The root of the problem lies with the Fūma Clan Leader."
"If we find him, we may be able to learn the truth behind this."
