What kind of faces would those high-and-mighty people who called themselves gods make when the people they saw as ants came knocking down their doors?
He could hardly wait for that day!
Zero Organization and the Ultimate Weapon!
"Lord Naruto Uzumaki, a man named Shukuse has defected from the village with a great deal of Scientific Ninja Tool research."
An Anbu Ninja knelt in the Hokage Office and delivered his report to Naruto Uzumaki in a grave voice.
"Oh?"
"Shukuse?"
Naruto Uzumaki raised an eyebrow.
Someone still chose to become a Missing-nin these days?
And to defect from Konoha, of all places.
That was unexpected.
"Here's the information on Shukuse."
The Anbu Ninja immediately handed an intelligence scroll to Naruto Uzumaki.
"Go. Bring Katasuke Tōno here."
After reading the scroll, Naruto Uzumaki spoke calmly.
"Yes, sir!"
The Anbu Ninja accepted the order and withdrew.
Before long,
Katasuke Tōno hurried in.
"My lord!"
"Katasuke, is Shukuse your apprentice?"
Naruto Uzumaki looked at Katasuke Tōno as he asked.
"Uh... yes, he is."
"He has some talent for research, but he's far too arrogant."
"I reprimanded him a few days ago. I never thought he'd dare defect with the research!"
Katasuke Tōno gritted his teeth.
He could not understand why Shukuse would choose to defect. So many people would envy the chance to work peacefully on research alongside him in Konoha.
Was something wrong with his head?
Worse still...
Defecting alone was bad enough, but he had taken so many classified documents with him.
Was he trying to get himself killed?
If he had known, he never would have taken Shukuse on as an apprentice.
And now Katasuke was bound to be dragged into it.
"The Scientific Ninja Tool research cannot be allowed to leak."
"Do you have any leads on Shukuse?"
