Instant Kill!
After dealing with the traces in that village, Shiro and his group continued towards the mission location, but this time they were much more cautious than before.
They were very careful because they didn't want this to happen again.
However, they all harbored a burning anger within them, but this anger could not be directed at Konoha, even as they began to feel dissatisfied with the village's mission-first ninja system.
Fortunately, this mission provided Shiro and his companions with a good outlet for their frustrations.
Fortunately, killing them is effortless, and it also benefits the mission's progress.
And so, a week later, Shiro and his group successfully arrived at the designated area for the mission, though it was only a rough estimate.
According to the intelligence report, the mission target was someone who had awakened Mind's Eye of the Kagura and possessed extremely strong perception. In order not to interfere with her, the intelligence personnel did not conduct a thorough investigation.
Therefore, only a general area was designated and given to Shiro and his men; the specific location would need to be discovered by them on their own.
However, before that, according to the plan, Shiro and his group should first kill the Kusagakure Ninja and Takigakure Ninja to reduce the variables in the mission.
Therefore, Shiro and his men moved far back beyond the designated mission area, found a location to set up camp, and treated it as a small-scale war.
Although Shiro and his group were small, just the four of them, there were still many people from the Kusagakure Ninja and Takigakure Ninja, plus some others who came to join in the fun. There were at least 200 ninjas here!
Of course, although there were many people, apart from the Kusagakure Ninja, Takigakure Ninja, and other major countries that came to join in the fun, the rest were just small fry, at most Chunin.
They could be ignored, but that was before.
Shiro and his men are furious. They don't care which village you're from; if you interfere, they'll take you down with them!
Therefore, they need to prepare properly, so a camp is essential.
However, they weren't just focused on setting up camp. You see, intelligence is the most important thing in ninja battles; having intelligence is like having already won half the battle.
Therefore, when setting up the camp, Shiro also sent Gray Snake out to gather intelligence in preparation for the battle to come.
That evening, Shiro and the others sat together looking at the intelligence that Gray Snake had gathered.
"Let me confirm again, are you really going to wipe out all the ninjas from the other villages? They're not weak."
"Mr. Nakamura, it's precisely because they are not weak that we made this decision. The stronger they are, the greater the variables they will cause in the end."
"Eliminating them beforehand is the safest option!"
"I just checked, and the strongest are undoubtedly from the three villages of Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure. They are all members of the Anbu, and their strength is considerable."
"Secondly, there are the Kusagakure and Takigakure. They are also the main force this time. Although their raw strength is not strong, their numbers are large enough, and they pose a considerable threat."
"There's another person worth noting: a Jonin Hoshigakure. Although we don't know why he's here, we have to be careful, and their Ninjutsu is quite unpredictable."
"The rest are nothing special, mostly just small fry."
"It's good that you have plans. Tell me about them."
"Well, as you can see, according to Gray Snake's intelligence, although the three major powers are the strongest, they are not united, so it is impossible to defeat them all at once, and our strength is also insufficient."
"Based on the distribution, we can Jonin Iwagakure, Cloud Village, and that Hoshigakure in one go. However, we must act swiftly."
"If we are discovered, we are likely to be surrounded and attacked, thus causing the mission to fail."
"Don't worry, the Anbu from other villages are weaker than those from your village. Overall, they're a bit Jonin than Jonin, roughly on par with yours."
"I'll handle the stronger ones inside; you just need to be able to kill the others instantly."
"Now we only have that Hoshigakure left. His Ninjutsu is very troublesome. Should we..."
"He doesn't need to worry, I'll take care of him. There's no need to delay, the sooner the better, otherwise it won't be so easy once they find out we're here." Shiro interrupted Shikaki before he could finish speaking.
Since it's not the right time to prolong the war, the village's intelligence seems to be incorrect!
The intelligence report didn't mention there were that many enemies!
Clearly, the village was unaware that other villages had also obtained the relevant intelligence; otherwise, the Third Hokage wouldn't have only sent them to carry out the mission.
But now the village's reinforcements are too late, so they have no choice but to risk a quick victory.
Moreover, Shiro wasn't being arrogant; he was indeed confident in dealing with the Hoshigakure Jonin.
The memories of the Hoshigakure Mysterious Peacock Method Shiro still very vivid. He still remembers that when he saw that scene in his previous life, he was thinking about the Nine-Tails and Mysterious Peacock Method going head-to-head.
Therefore, it left a deep impression on him. He still remembers it now. The Mysterious Peacock Method is a pure Chakra manipulation method, which may be more difficult for others to deal with.
But for Shiro, it was no different from air.
That's why he had the confidence to say that.
Shikaki trusted Shiro and, after a moment's consideration, agreed to Shiro's suggestion.
Therefore, tomorrow's mission is to deal with the Anbu of Iwagakure and Cloud Village, as well as Hoshigakure, and to avoid detection by other ninjas along the way to prevent our whereabouts from being exposed.
Early the next morning, Shiro and his group headed to their first destination: the Iwagakure stronghold.
It has to be said that the Gray Snake's intelligence gathering ability is truly abnormal. In just one afternoon, it had learned about the surrounding situation. It can only be said that it is worthy of being the snake of Ryūchi Cave.
In this way, Shiro and his men avoided the sentries along the way and quietly arrived near the enemy's camp.
According to Gray Snake's intelligence, there are three opponents in total, which is perfect; excluding Shikaki, that's one opponent for each of them.
After finding their target, Shiro and his men rushed forward without hesitation and launched a surprise attack!
The Reinforcement Magecraft instantly covered his entire body, and with a sprint, he was in front of his opponent. The opponent's reaction was not slow either, and he immediately cast Earth Hardening Technique, greatly increasing his defense.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Shiro also possessed a short sword-shaped Noble Phantasm!
"The Frieren Scharfrichter!"
"The Frieren Scharfrichter"
Rank: C Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm
Range: 1~5 Maximum Capture: 1 person
Frieren Scharfrichter.
A vengeful and furious technique of judgment born from the two men's desire for revenge.
Although it does not have the ability to reverse cause and effect, it can exert a slight distortion on the world within the range of its Noble Phantasm, creating a situation where "heads can be easily severed".
It is a deadly Noble Phantasm capable of decapitating an enemy in a single blow.
Therefore, even though the opponent used the Earth Hardening Technique, he was still killed by Shiro in one blow!
After his Shiro discovered that the effects of the Noble Phantasm were not absolute, and its power was not entirely consistent with its description.
It is also related to the proportion of power. If the opponent's power is too high, then the effect of the Noble Phantasm will not be triggered. Just like the Rule Breaker, the Noble Phantasm is also made of Mana, but it has no effect on eliminating the Noble Phantasm.
