Only at this moment did Kirigakure's four Anbu squad captains understand Soji's intentions.
However, they still had one question. If the goal was to protect Takigakure's Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, and the public excuse was to have them eliminate the two S-rank rogue ninja, Biwa Juzo and Hozuki Mangetsu, why was Hozuki Suigetsu being sent along as well?
Wasn't that contradictory?
If Hozuki Suigetsu truly ran into Hozuki Mangetsu, it would no longer be just for appearances. That kid would genuinely fight his brother to the death!
That could very easily backfire.
But since Soji had no intention of explaining further, none of them asked.
And Soji certainly would not tell them that it was merely one of his little twisted amusements!
"Hozuki Mangetsu, you'd better thank me properly for sending your long-lost little brother right to your doorstep!"
Beneath the Ice Mask, Soji wore a wicked grin.
Just imagining that scene amused him.
Since the Konoha version of oniisan and otouto had been wiped out in this life, shouldn't there be a Kirigakure version instead?
"The Hozuki brothers are really pitiful..."
Pakura gently shook her head, already lighting a candle for the two brothers in her heart.
No one Soji had set his sights on could escape!
After Soji finished explaining everything they needed to watch out for, he dismissed them.
However, after the five of them left, Soji had Pakura secretly slip something to Raiga Kurosuki and Chiyo respectively.
As for what it was, the two of them would surely find out once they reached Takigakure.
Through Soji's covert maneuvers, the forces eyeing Takigakure now included not only the Akatsuki Organization, but also Konoha and Kirigakure.
Furthermore, if Takigakure's local forces were included as well, then a major battle between four factions might soon erupt within that tiny ninja village.
