The night of Capital of Fire is much noisier than that of Konoha.
Even late at night, the lights on Vermilion Bird Avenue are still bright, and you can vaguely hear the sounds of silk and bamboo and laughter coming from different taverns and teahouses.
The opening banquet of "Food Is Heaven" has long ended, and the guests left with satisfied smiles and their own thoughts. Maruboshi Kosuke is directing the staff to carry out the final cleaning work meticulously, and the entire restaurant exudes an efficient and rigorous aura.
On the third floor, in the deepest room.
Senju Chen was sitting alone by the window, his fingertips lightly tapping the smooth tabletop, and his eyes calmly overlooking the bustling night scene downstairs.
The hustle and bustle of the day seems like a carefully choreographed drama.
Lord Fujiwara was full of praise for the "golden tempura" fried in deep-sea fish oil. Before leaving, he also hinted that he could order from "Food Is Heaven" for long-term purchases at his house.
Deputy Commander Saeki paid special attention to the "security guards" standing guard at the door. During the dinner, he tried to test their origins again and again, but naturally they returned without success.
There are also those noble ladies, they have already begun to discuss which private room to book next time to hold their private tea party.
Everything is happening according to the script.
The chess piece "Food Is Heaven" has firmly taken root in the most fertile soil of Capital of Fire.
At this moment, a very regular knock on the door sounded, neither light nor heavy, steady and powerful.
"Come in." Senju Chen said without looking back.
The door was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in.
The person coming is none other than Xuanyuan Gari.
He had already changed out of his ninja uniform that was easy for fighting and put on a dark blue suit specially made by "Food for the Sky". The style was similar to that of a samurai suit, but it was more close-fitting and more capable. The word "" was embroidered with silver thread on his chest. This suit of clothing made the wild and murderous aura in his body much restrained, making him more calm and majestic.
He walked to a position three steps behind Senju Chen, knelt on one knee and lowered his head.
"Young Master Chen."
"Get up, Leader Xuanyuan." Senju Chen turned around and motioned for him to sit down, "I don't have so many rules here. How about it, how does it feel on your first day at work? Are you still used to it?"
"Thanks to you, everything goes well." Xuanyuan Gari did not sit down, but still stood, with a hint of heartfelt emotion in his tone, "Compared to the days of living in the open and living in danger, this place is like a paradise. The brothers are very satisfied, and Aying's injury has also recovered well. I am very grateful to you and Lady Tsunade."
"That's good." Senju Chen nodded. He knew very well that for people like Xuanyuan Gari, a stable, decent and well-paid job can win people's hearts far more than empty promises.
"I have something important to report to you." Xuanyuan Gari's expression became serious, he took out a scroll from his arms and presented it with both hands.
"There are clues about the traces of the 'scientist' you ordered us to investigate before."
Senju Chen's eyes sharpened instantly.
He took the scroll and slowly unfolded it.
There isn't much nonsense on the scroll, just a few lines of refined information.
"Target code: 'Ark'. Name and origin unknown. Male, about thirty to forty years old, wearing a pair of special goggles and white research clothes all year round. He is obsessed with human body modification and the development of Scientific Ninja Tool, and his whereabouts are mysterious."
"Last seen recently: Land of Iron."
"It is rumored that he is trying to contact the samurai general 'Mifune' of Land of Iron. It seems that he wants to use his technology in exchange for the samurai's body data and research resources."
At the end of the scroll, there is also a sketch drawn in charcoal.
The man in the painting has meticulously combed black hair and a pair of iconic square goggles on his face. His expression is indifferent and focused, as if nothing in the world can arouse his interest.
Amado!
Senju Chen's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Although the man in the portrait is much younger than later generations, his unique temperament of a mad scientist who regards everything as research material is definitely unmistakable!
It turned out to be this guy! In the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations era, the chief scientist of the "Shell" organization was a monster who single-handedly created Delta, Code, Eida and many other artificial humans whose strength was comparable to that of gods!
His brain itself is Shinobi World's top "plug-in"!
Now, he has not yet joined the "Shell" organization, and is still looking for "investors" like a headless fly? He even found the head of Land of Iron, a group of warriors with brains harder than steel?
Senju Chen felt excited instantly.
This is... pie in the sky!
Although Teacher Orochimaru's research is top-notch, it is more based on the technological development of Ninjutsu and biological cells. As for Amado, he is taking a completely different path - pure, cold, science and technology that transcends this era!
If you can take him under your wing...
The biological neural connection amplifier and Exploding Insects were just his early immature works. What is truly terrifying to him are those "god-level" artificial beings that are comparable to Otsutsuki and the Scientific Ninja Tool that is enough to subvert the entire Shinobi World pattern!
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Senju Chen slowly put away the scroll and looked at Xuanyuan Gari.
"Thank you for your hard work, this information... is very valuable." There was no wave in his tone.
He did not immediately issue a new order, but changed the topic and asked with concern, "How does the 'tail' behind you feel lately? After intensive use, is the load on the body still as heavy as before?"
Xuanyuan Gari was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Senju Chen to suddenly care about this. He subconsciously touched the device that combined metal and flesh behind him, and said with a wry smile, "It's still the same. This thing Just like the tarsal maggot, it is connected to our nerves. Every time you use the secret technique, you can feel the life force passing away. However, Young Master Chen, you can rest assured that it is only responsible for daily security work, and it is far from the point where in-depth use is required."
"Hmm." Senju Chen pondered for a moment, "I asked you to investigate him because I want to find a complete solution to this hidden danger. Now it seems that the person who can untie the bell must tie the bell."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Gari's eyes instantly burst into blazing light.
The biggest worry of these people is this damn "tail"! It is both a source of strength and a life-threatening charm. If they can get rid of it, they...
"Young Master Chen, what do you mean..." Xuanyuan Gari's voice was trembling.
"It's nothing." Senju Chen waved his hand, not saying anything thoroughly, leaving just enough suspense, "You just need to know that you are my people, and I will not let my men go to work with such shackles that can kill them at any time."
"I..." Xuanyuan Gari's lips moved, and thousands of words were stuck in his throat. In the end, he just lowered his head deeply again and said in a hoarse but firm voice, "From now on, if you have anything to do, just ask me!"
Trust, money, status, and the hope of solving their biggest problem.
Senju Chen believes that Xuanyuan Gari, this elite team, has been completely tied to his chariot.
"Okay, you've handled things here very well." Senju Chen stood up and patted his shoulder, "Capital of Fire's security will be left entirely to you. Remember, our' Food Is Heaven', what we do is not an ordinary business. All the people we deal with are high-ranking officials, so we must not make any mistakes. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here, regardless of his identity, will have his legs broken and thrown out."
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Gari replied resoundingly, "With our brothers here, we guarantee that no one will dare to disturb Tai Sui!"
"For subsequent daily operations and personnel deployment, you can directly contact Grandpa Kosuke." Senju Chen finally gave instructions.
"My subordinates understand!"
Xuanyuan Gari bowed respectfully and then quietly exited the room.
In the room, silence returned again.
Senju Chen walked to the window again, unfolded the scroll in his hand, looked at the portrait of the young version of Amado, and raised a playful arc at the corner of his mouth.
Land of Iron...Mifune...
A group of guys who stick to the spirit of Bushido and disdain ninjas and Chakra.
Amado wants to convince them to use his science to transform samurai? It is simply a fantasy. Presumably, he must be at the stage where he is running into obstacles everywhere and his talents are not being appreciated.
This is really... a perfect opportunity to recruit people.
