Taking in missing-nin can be a big or small matter.

Shinki felt that there were other secrets within the Tanzaku Village, so he decided to disguise himself and sneak into the Tanzaku Village!

At a tavern outside the Tanzaku Village, Shinki, disguised as Sasuke, ordered a glass of milk...

Afterwards, Shinki made full use of his social skills and struck up a conversation with a seemingly kind-looking middle-aged man. "Brother, I heard that this Tanzaku Village also takes on commissions, is it reliable?"

The man politely replied, "It's the same request, but the price charged by the Tanzaku Village is much cheaper than those from the Ninja Village Konoha... As for whether they're reliable or not, as long as they don't mess things up, that's fine."

After listening, Shinki nodded, finding the explanation reasonable, and continued to ask, "I heard that the Tanzaku Village doesn't accept requests from just anyone. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, the older man immediately became proud. "That's right, to enter the Tanzaku Village to post a request, you have to undergo strict identity screening. Ordinary people really can't get this identity token. (o´Д`o)ノ"

As he spoke, the man raised his waist badge and waved it.

Shinki carefully examined the design of the waist tag, silently memorizing it. After his older brother left, he made a copy himself.

At the gate of Tanzaku Village, Shinki held up his waist token, and the guards opened the gate to make way.

Suddenly, an untimely voice rang out. "Yo~ Isn't this Sasuke from Konoha? What brings you to my Tanzaku Village? Are you here on orders to investigate?"

Upon hearing this, the guards instantly became alert!

They stared at the Shinki with unfriendly expressions!

Upon hearing this, Shinki turned around and saw that the speaker was a rogue missing-nin from Kirigakure.

So, being adept at making up lies, he told a fabricated story, "I've had enough of that stupid village, Konoha!"

"I'm going to join the Tanzaku Village! I'm going to take revenge on Konoha! (눈‸눈)"

Upon hearing this, the guards hesitated and looked at a tall Ninja in the group, clearly waiting for their captain to make a decision.

The captain was quite clever. "I've long heard of Sasuke Uchiha Konoha's immense strength, but unfortunately, the current Hokage Konoha, Shinki too powerful, leaving my brother with no opportunity to display his abilities..."

"Sasuke, I understand how you feel. Come on in!"

After he finished speaking, the gate opened, and Shinki successfully passed the test. Even Shinki himself was stunned by the result!

Is Sasuke's identity really that useful? ◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞

After Shinki had walked a few hundred meters through the gate, he overheard the Ninja guarding the city gate whispering among themselves:

"Big brother, you just put him in like that?"

What if he lied to us?

"What do you know? Sasuke's Defection is nothing special. That guy has a precedent for defecting before, but he was captured by the Sixth Hokage of Konoha, who has unparalleled abilities..."

"Think about it, who wants to be manipulated and suppressed Tenten? Who wants to live in someone else's shadow... If it were me, I'd run away too. ~_~"

"Gengo will surely be pleased to have him join our ranks of the Revolutionaries!"

"I see, brother is brilliant! (σ≧︎▽︎≦︎)σ."

Shinki, who hadn't gone far, overheard the guards' conversation thanks to his excellent hearing, and realized to himself, "So that's how it is."

Sasuke's rebellious nature is well-known...

Walking through the Tanzaku Village, Shinki found that the village was not as prosperous as he had imagined, and it was even less prosperous than some Ninja Villages in small countries.

In addition, Ninjas dressed in Black Robes can be seen everywhere on the streets, creating an inexplicably oppressive atmosphere.

In an attempt to gather information, Shinki walked up to a fruit stall, bought a few apples, and casually asked, "Brother, I'm new here. Has this village always been like this?"

The fruit vendor was also very enthusiastic. "No, the Land of Silence used to have Daimyo. After Gengo came, he ousted the Daimyo. Although he didn't succeed as Daimyo, he became the leader of the Land of Silence..."

Shinki, still curious, continued, "During his time as leader, what outstanding achievements did he make?"

The older brother shook his head. "Didn't you see it yourself? It doesn't make much difference whether he's there or not. Besides, his followers are really annoying; they never pay for things..."

As he spoke, the elder brother timidly pointed to a person dressed in Black Robe.

Shinki nodded, indicating that he had gained some understanding of Gengo.

Afterwards, in order to better infiltrate the area, Shinki captured a man dressed in Black Robe.

In a secluded corner, Shinki activated the Mind Body Switch Technique to examine the memories of this missing-nin.

"My memories are filled with phrases like 'Revolutionaries,' 'overthrow the Daimyo,' and 'establish New Ninja World,' it's like I've been brainwashed!"

"This Gengo has the potential to be a pyramid scheme leader!"

As Shinki changed into his Black Robe, he muttered to himself.

"I want to see what kind of magic this Gengo possesses that makes so many people so devoted to him."

After saying that, Shinki walked onto the street, preparing to search for Gengo's whereabouts.

Little did he know that the moment he was exposed on the street, he was spotted by a Black Robes!

The man hurriedly walked up to Shinki, straightened Shinki's collar, and said anxiously, "You haven't even straightened your collar! Gengo Gengo's speech is about to begin, how can you be so careless!"

Shinki silently put away the Dust Release ball of light, forcing an awkward smile, "I was in a hurry to leave..."

That was close, I almost couldn't resist hitting him...

The Netherworld Pure Land.

Death God rubbed his eyes.

That's strange, I think I just saw a figure flash in front of me!

What happened?! (꒪⌓꒪)

Tanzaku Village, the Black Robe who was straightening the collar of the Shinki suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

"That's strange, why am I sweating so much for no reason!"

"Looks like I need to exercise some restraint!"

Evening.

In front of a church-like building within the Tanzaku Village.

In front of the church, there was a huge curtain, and in front of the curtain was a newly erected wooden platform, which was where Gengo give his speech.

At this moment, Shinki, dressed in Black Robe, mingled in the crowd, waiting for Gengo to appear.

He came to the Tanzaku Village for two reasons: first, to investigate the Tanzaku Village's background, and second, to find the missing Sai and the Anbu.

Gengo is the answer to all questions.

Soon, Gengo, dressed in Black Robe, with a thick beard and a strange braid Gengo onto the stage!

First of all, I want to thank everyone who is standing here! ❛‿˂̵✧

"Overthrow the rule of the Daimyo and establish a world belonging to Ninjas! You support my ideals, you support the Revolution, you are the Revolutionaries will bring about a new world!! (•‾̑⌣‾̑•)✧˖"

"With your support, the day of true Revolution is drawing ever closer!"

At this point, Gengo's voice suddenly rose in pitch, eliciting cheers from the men in Black Robes.

Below the stage, Shinki realized something was wrong.

This Gengo, Yuanwu, was not particularly handsome, nor was his oratory skill exceptional, but his voice possessed a magical quality, influencing people's minds...

On stage, Gengo continued his passionate speech, "Today, I've prepared a special segment for everyone!"

"Let me introduce you to the thugs who are trying to stop our Revolution!!"

As the voice faded, the huge curtain behind Gengo was lifted, revealing Sai, who was bound hand and foot!
