"You don't need to worry so much. Why? The ninja's seals have already been set and activated, yet you're having second thoughts?"
"I was just thinking, if they fail, shouldn't we set up a few ambushes here? Besides, wouldn't it be inappropriate to choose the grasslands as the assassination site?"
At those words, the figure hidden in the mist suddenly burst into laughter. Though he despised the name Tea Village to the extreme, he still said, "The urban area is the easiest place to carry out an assassination. If Mirai dies in the grasslands, we can shift the blame onto Grass Country. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"
"But what if Mirai doesn't pass through Grass Country..." the Feudal Lord said worriedly.
"Don't worry, they'll go back. I gave your younger brother a death order. He will lead Mirai and the others through Grass Country. He will."

"Good, good..."
The Feudal Lord trembled and did not dare say another word. He could only pray that his brother would complete the mission. Otherwise, not even he could save his brother's life.

When Mirai had gone to Tea Village last time, he had also passed by Grass Country. However, because Reid and his client were with him on this mission, he had not entered the country. He had merely passed through the nearby forest. When he returned last time, he had also tried to keep a low profile and had not crossed through Grass Country.
