Mission Objective

After taking a look, Shiro found a suitable target—not too strong, not too weak, four Chunin —their strength was just right.

Shiro is still quite aware of his own limitations. He's Chunin easily defeat Chunin, but he's still far from being Jonin.

With the unique nature of his Noble Phantasm, Shiro could win with a single blow, but these cunning old foxes are different from the Jonin who do missions in the ninja village.

While they may not be as strong as the village's Jonin in terms of raw power, they are far more cautious than the village's ninjas.

After all, most people in the village act in teams and rarely Independent Action. As a result, many village ninjas are used to confronting enemies head-on and only use diversionary tactics in special circumstances.

These ninjas, however, are different. They have no one they can trust and are all alone, so they would never easily confront someone head-on.

In this way, Shiro's advantage will be difficult to utilize. Unless Shiro activates the energy storage of the Magic Crest, Shiro's chances of winning are not high.

However, the Magic Crest's energy storage is Shiro's trump card, used to save his life, so how could he easily hand it over?

Therefore, Shiro decided to pick the softest one, since the price wasn't low anyway.

Of course, the people Shiro chose were all from small villages and some missing-nin. He didn't even look at the Shiro of the slightly larger ninja villages, because those were more difficult and not within Shiro consideration for the time being.

After selecting his target, Shiro took out the four bounty posters and went to find the old man.

"Information on these four."

Along with the bounty notice, several silver notes were also handed over. These were supposedly a deposit, but in reality, they were money for buying information, as they were non-refundable upon completion of the mission.

Of course, you can choose not to accept his information and gather it yourself, but that will be much more troublesome.

Although the information provided by the Exchange is not very detailed, only general, it has one advantage.

That's real-time location!

The Black Market has a powerful background, as evidenced by its near-universal presence throughout the Shinobi World, which also explains its exceptional intelligence capabilities.

They generally have firsthand information on most bounty targets, and most people will trade with them, since it saves a lot of time.

Shiro was no exception; being all alone, he would need too much time to search on his own.

"Here you go," the old man said with a smile, handing a booklet to Shiro. "Young man, you're quite capable."

"Hmm." However, Shiro didn't really answer him. Instead, he patted the stack of wanted posters in his hand and asked, "Can I take this with me?"

"Sure, this is for you, sir. Would you like me to introduce you to any high-value missions?"

"No, that's all." With that, Shiro turned and left without lingering.

Just kidding. This old fox could probably steal Shiro's information with just a few words. The more you say, the more mistakes you'll make. It's better to just retreat.

Compared to them, Shiro is still far behind. This is a gap in experience, which cannot be caught up with in a short time. Therefore, Shiro is prepared to play it safe and choose to avoid confrontation for the time being.

Shiro traversed the jungle while reviewing the intelligence report in his hand.

Shiro's four targets are three in the Land of Rivers and one in the Land of Rain, but apart from the one in the Land of Rain, the other three are not particularly outstanding.

They're all in their thirties, so you could say their Chunin strength is all hard-earned. They're easy to deal with, but their bounties are quite high—a total of ten million for the three of them!

One-third of Asuma is gone!

Shiro guessed they must have offended some wealthy merchant, otherwise the price was really inflated; even if they were Chunin, they wouldn't be worth that much.

However, this was irrelevant to Shiro. For him, the more money the better. Therefore, Shiro only glanced at their information casually, since it wasn't complete anyway. His attention was currently focused on that guy from the Land of Rain.

Because Shiro discovered that the guy's information was exceptionally complete, and it was all provided by the employer, with a high reward of ten million!

Therefore, Shiro carefully examined this guy's information and discovered that he was indeed not simple.

This guy's name is Toshiki Inoshita. He's a genius from a small ninja village, possessing all five elemental attributes—a rare talent! Unfortunately, being born in a small ninja village meant his talent couldn't be effectively utilized.

Although he has learned all five ninjutsu, they are all C-rank, with not a single advanced one, and due to his ordinary bloodline, he doesn't have much Chakra.

This makes him a low-level version of Wu Wukai, whose strength is quite embarrassing.

Furthermore, his village was wiped out by a group of Amegakure ninjas during Second Shinobi World War. He escaped because he was away at the time, and he didn't think about revenge afterward, as he was well aware of his own strength.

So he came to the Land of Rivers, where, in a ridiculous turn of events, he managed to seduce the girlfriend of a Merchant Guild guild's son, and incredibly, he succeeded!

Afterwards, this guy was injured by the ninja hired by that young master, and left after uttering a harsh threat.

If this story took place in another world, he'd be thrilled—a classic protagonist start. But alas, this is Hokage, where only bloodlines matter.

Therefore, he knelt down, and knelt down completely.

At first, he relied on his identity as a ninja and wandered around the Land of Rivers without a care in the world, occasionally flirting with the girlfriend of the Merchant Guild guild's son, acting extremely arrogantly.

It can be said that the limitations of the small ninja village are fully exposed here.

Therefore, he was in trouble. In a fit of anger, the young master of the Merchant Guild guild joined forces with the woman's family's Merchant Guild and directly raised the reward to ten million!

Immediately, all sorts of hyenas gave chase, and he was driven all the way to the Land of Rain. Even now, a group of people in the Land of Rain are still relentlessly pursuing him.

The allure of money is terrifying!

If nothing unexpected happens, this guy is completely useless. He doesn't have any outstanding bloodline to boost his Chakra, and even if he has all five elements, it won't be of much use.

Moreover, he lacks advanced Ninjutsu to fully develop his talent, destined to remain nothing more than small change in other people's pockets.

It's clear that the young master of the Merchant Guild guild truly hates someone; the information he provided was incredibly detailed, as if he were afraid of failing to eliminate Toshiki Inoshita.

After reading the intelligence, Shiro put away the intelligence manual and began to focus on his journey. There were many people watching that guy, and he needed to deal with the three in the Land of Rivers as soon as possible and then hurry over there.

In fact, Shiro didn't understand why Toshiki Inoshita would flee to the Land of Rain, as mentioned in the intelligence reports.

Although Hanzo is known as Demigod, he is ultimately just a person. Within the Land of Rain, local battles have never ceased, making the situation far more chaotic than outside.

Furthermore, according to intelligence, it was the Amegakure Ninja who destroyed his village back then, so he shouldn't have had any reason to join Hanzo. If a Merchant Guild could find this information, Hanzo couldn't possibly not have found it.

However, everyone has different ideas, so Shiro didn't dwell on these meaningless matters any further.
