Enemy Intelligence

They also possess a type of ninjutsu called the Light Rock Technique and the Heavy Rock Technique! These techniques can manipulate one's own gravity, but once the user becomes heavier, their speed decreases! Conversely, if they become lighter, not only will their attack power be greatly reduced, but their defensive capabilities will also suffer significantly!

The strength of the Ishikura Clan consists of approximately three jonin, over a hundred chunin, and more than a thousand genin! However, only one of those jonin can barely be considered a true jonin, while the other two are only nominally so. As for the hundred-plus chunin, their strength varies, and the thousand genin essentially make up the entire remaining population of the Ishikura Clan!

After finishing his explanation, Nara Isshin watched Kangetsu's expression, wondering how Kangetsu could possibly agree to this when he only had fifty men against over a thousand! Just as Nara Isshin began to feel that Kangetsu was about to back out, Kangetsu gave a faint smile and said, "Not bad, not bad. This is truly a challenging mission; I accept it!"

Once Kangetsu finished speaking, Inoue, who was standing behind him, immediately said, "Lord Kangetsu, I am not questioning your decision, but there are over a thousand people! Plus, there are those three jonin—our strength simply isn't enough!"

Although Kangetsu's gaze remained cold, he no longer held the murderous intent toward Inoue that he had when they first met, given Inoue's vow of absolute loyalty. He replied, "Inoue, didn't I tell you to think more? Remember, battle doesn't always require a head-on collision! Killing doesn't always require a blade; there are many ways to win and many ways to kill. Don't be fooled by their numbers; real combat isn't decided by headcount! Isn't that right, Uncle Isshin? Heh heh!"

"Lord Kangetsu, you actually prefer using strategies over head-on combat? Does this mean you agree to using tactical schemes during war?"

At this moment, Nara Isshin stood up abruptly, looking at Kangetsu with great excitement. Kangetsu nodded in affirmation.

"Naturally, it is true! How could I not use strategy? As long as the enemy is killed and victory is achieved, I don't care about the process of how we fight or win—I only look at the results! However, Inoue is right; this is, after all, a force of over a thousand people, including three jonin. Therefore, I will be requesting additional compensation, as what you offered is far too little!" As he spoke, he flashed a mysterious smile at Nara Isshin.

After saying this, Kangetsu watched Nara Isshin, who was momentarily stunned before saying sheepishly, "That is true, that is only right. However, Lord Kangetsu, my clan is not exactly wealthy at the moment! Could you perhaps take a little less?"

Kangetsu chuckled at Nara Isshin's words and replied, "How could I possibly want your wealth? Wealth is not something priceless, but what I want is truly invaluable! Besides, the request I am about to make will be very beneficial to your clan!"
