Slos

Oyashiro En was puzzled.

Konoha Asuma Sarutobi of Konoha, son of the Third Hokage, and one of the former Twelve Guardian Ninja, was beaten like a dead dog.

Especially after hearing that the other party was only carrying out a C-rank mission, Oyashiro En's doubts deepened.

However, out of professional ethics, he did not delve into the secret of the other party's injury, but instead quickly sent people to send them back to Konoha.

This matter quickly reached Kazashiro's ears.

"Such a thing actually happened?"

Kazashiro personally met with Anko and, under her guidance, saw Asuma lying in a hospital bed, confirming that what she had said was true.

"Who is Ras? Why have we never heard of him?"

Kazashiro didn't know where this guy Ras had come from, but he knew that Gato, who hired him, must know something.

Although this mission ended with Tazuna's death, the fact that someone from Konoha had attacked them and Konoha still didn't know who they were was something Kazashiro would never allow to happen.

More importantly, Kazashiro had a vague feeling that this matter was probably inextricably linked to the Dawn Organization.

However, he did not intend to use Konoha's resources to resolve this matter.

Let a big boss scout ahead first. He's a monster with five lives, so it's not surprising that he dies once or twice.

So, Kakuzu, who was happily counting his money at home, received a letter from his boss.

"The Land of Waves? Hmph, interesting."

Upon learning that Gato was rich, all the other Kakuzu patted their chests and assured Kazashiro that he could handle the matter perfectly.

Therefore, Kakuzu, having accepted the mission, randomly selected two subordinates with Jonin-level strength and embarked on his journey to the Land of Waves.

The Land of Fire, Daimyo's Mansion.

As the videotape was ejected from the VCR, the nobles who had watched the entire video began to whisper among themselves.

"This kind of power, even Hashirama, who was once hailed as the God of Shinobi, probably never possessed..."

"Madara Uchiha, this is a being whose power far surpasses that of Hashirama and Madara Uchiha!"

"With such a figure assisting us, we can completely abandon Konoha!"

After the commotion subsided, silence followed.

"Immediately seal this video and send it to His Highness the Daimyo. Whether or not to cooperate with him is a decision the Daimyo must make."

Several eunuchs, guided by the nobles, entered the room and took away the videotape.

"What does the Great General think?"

Dainagon Suzuya Gozen slowly walked to the side of the restless Tokugawa Shigenami and asked him in a low voice about his attitude.

"Ah?"

Tokugawa Shigenami, who hadn't heard any footsteps, was startled. The loud noise displeased Suzuya Gozen.

"I mean, Great General, what is your opinion on so-called Artificial Human?"

"Ah, well, that depends on what the daimyo wants." Tokugawa Shigenami didn't want to offer his opinion.

Having many clandestine connections with Konoha, he naturally didn't want any Artificial Human to cause trouble, but on the surface he was a staunch anti- Konoha figure, so he had to carefully conceal his stance.

"Immortality is indeed a wonderful thing."

Seeing that Tokugawa Shigenami had not expressed his opinion, Suzuya Gozen did not press the matter, but left the secret room with some regret.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and watching the nobles leave the secret chamber one by one, Tokugawa Shigenami hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind.

If the daimyo truly lived forever, then I would never be able to sit in that position in my lifetime.

This matter must be reported to Konoha.

After many days of waiting, Yaowan finally received the news that satisfied him.

"Indeed, the daimyo of the Land of Fire has agreed to cooperate with us."

Yaowan happily brought this news to Amado.

The reason he told Amado was because the next plan required the participation of his Artificial Human.

Moreover, it's best if those involved in this project are people like Ras who have already made an appearance.

However, when Yaowan requested to use Ras, Amado refused without hesitation.

The reason is simple: Ras is currently in the Recovery Pod repairing his body, which was damaged in the last battle.

But he didn't remain silent; he assigned a boy with a wheat-colored complexion to the other party.

"Slos, his strength is no less than Ras's."

Pointing to the sleepy-eyed boy, Amado gave him a brief introduction.

"Hehe, nice to meet you, Slos."

Although he wasn't coming to Ras, since Amado said that the young man in front of him was no less powerful than Ras, Yaowan naturally chose to believe his words.

"Boring."

Compared to the emotionless Ras, the guy in front of him named Slos was indeed much more emotional, but he was also much harder to communicate with.

He completely ignored Yaowan's overtures, turned around, drew his sword from his waist, and slashed open a spatial rift.

"Destination, mission objective, that's all for now. I'm going back to sleep." Slos's eyelids drooped, his eyelashes obscuring the Byakugan of his eyes, and he exuded a lazy air.

"Land of Fire, Daimyo Daimyo's Mansion, Target: Shimura Kazashiro."

Yaowan explained the objectives of the mission as requested by Slos.
