"They also have these ninjutsu called the Light Rock Technique and the Heavy Rock Technique! These techniques let them control their own gravity, but once they become heavier, they slow down! And if they become lighter, not only does their attack power drop drastically, their defense does too!
"As for the Ishikura Clan's strength, they have roughly three Jonin, over a hundred Chunin, and over a thousand Genin! But of those Jonin, only one can barely be considered a proper Jonin. The other two only just qualify for the title! Those hundred-plus Chunin vary in strength, and the thousand Genin essentially include everyone in the Ishikura Clan!"
After finishing, Nara Isshin watched Kangetsu's expression. After all, that was well over a thousand people! With only fifty people under his command, how could Kangetsu possibly agree to his request? Just as Nara Isshin began to think Kangetsu would back out-
Kangetsu gave a faint smile and said, "Not bad, not bad. Now that's a challenging mission. I'll take it!"
As soon as Kangetsu finished speaking, Inoue spoke up from behind him. "Lord Kangetsu, I'm not questioning your decision, but that's over a thousand people! And they have three Jonin, too. We... we aren't strong enough!"
Although Kangetsu's gaze was cold, he no longer directed the murderous intent he had shown at their first meeting toward Inoue, who had sworn to serve him unto death. So he said, "Inoue, didn't I tell you? Think things through more from now on! Remember, fighting doesn't always mean clashing head-on! And you don't always need a blade to kill someone. There are plenty of ways to win, and plenty of ways to kill! They may have a lot of people, but numbers aren't what truly decides a battle! Isn't that right, Uncle Isshin? Heh!"
"Lord Kangetsu, you would actually avoid a head-on clash and use other methods to fight? Does that mean you approve of using strategies in war?"
At that moment, Nara Isshin sprang to his feet and looked at Kangetsu with great excitement. Kangetsu naturally nodded.
"Of course! Why wouldn't I use strategies? As long as I kill the enemy and win! As for how I fight or how I win, I don't care about the process. I only care about the outcome! Still, Inoue has a point. We're dealing with over a thousand people, including three Jonin! So I'll be asking for some additional compensation. After all, what you're offering is far too little!" With that, he gave Nara Isshin a faint, mysterious smile.
After speaking, Kangetsu looked at Nara Isshin. Isshin froze for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Yes, yes, that's only fair. But Lord Kangetsu, my clan isn't exactly wealthy right now! Could you perhaps ask for a little less?"
But Kangetsu merely smiled at Nara Isshin's words and said, "Why would I want your wealth? Wealth isn't priceless, after all! What I want, on the other hand, is priceless! Besides, the request I'm about to make will benefit you greatly!"
