"Young Master Chen."
Aying suddenly walked out of the shadows.
Senju Chen turned around. "What's wrong?"
Aying's face was a little solemn. "There is a mysterious person over there in the black market who has been asking for information about you."
Senju Chen raised his eyebrows. "Inquire about me?"
"Yes." Aying nodded, "That man was very cautious. He always wore a mask and couldn't see his face clearly. But he left a message to the people in the black market, saying that he had important information about Kirigakure's top executives and wanted to negotiate a deal with you."
Senju Chen narrowed his eyes.
Kirigakure High-level information?
Such a coincidence?
He just found out that Kirigakure was conducting human experiments, and someone came to his door with information?
Senju Chen smiled, "Where is that person now?"
"Still in the black market." Aying said, "He said that if you want to see him, wait for him on the third underground floor of the black market tonight."
Three underground floors...
That is the deepest part of the black market and the most dangerous place.
Generally speaking, only really big shots, or real outlaws, go there.
"Let's go and have a look."
Aying was stunned for a moment. "Young Master Chen, could it be a trap?"
"Of course it's a trap." Senju Chen smiled, "But if you don't go and take a look, how can you know what the other party wants to do?"
"And..." He turned around and looked at Aying, "If the other party really has the information about Kirigakure, then this trap is worth jumping."
Aying was silent.
He knew that once Senju Chen made a decision, it would never change.
"I understand." Aying nodded, "I will protect you."
Senju Chen smiled and said nothing.
Tonight, maybe it will be very lively.
Zi Shi.
The three underground floors of the black market.
This place is darker and more humid than the two floors above, and the air is filled with a rotten smell.
There were several dim oil lamps hanging on the wall, and the light was shaky, making people's shadows very long.
Senju Chen and Aying are in an empty room.
The room was large, but there was nothing except a table in the middle and an oil lamp on the table.
"Where are the people?" Senju Chen looked around.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked out of the darkness.
It was a tall man, wearing a black cloak and a white mask on his face. There was a strange smile painted on the mask, which looked very penetrating.
"Are you the boss of Food Is Heaven?" The man's voice was deep, with a hint of hoarseness.
Senju Chen was still a slightly fat wealthy businessman at this time.
"Are you looking for me?"
The man didn't answer, just stood there quietly.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds.
In the end, it was Senju Chen who spoke first. "I heard that you have information about Kirigakure's top executives?"
"That's right." The man nodded, "And it's very important information."
"How important?"
"Information about Fourth Mizukage Yagura." The man's tone was very calm, "About why he wants to cleanse the Kekkei Genkai family, and about the real purpose behind him."
Senju Chen narrowed his eyes.
This guy... knows a lot.
"Then what do you want?" Senju Chen asked.
"It's very simple." The man stretched out his hand, "I want you to help me kill someone."
"Who?"
"Fourth Mizukage, Yagura."
The room suddenly became quiet.
Senju Chen stared at the man in front of him and said nothing for a long time.
Kill Fourth Mizukage?
Is this guy... crazy?
"Are you kidding?" Senju Chen laughed, "Killing a shadow, do you think I have the strength?"
"You don't." The man's tone was very calm, "But the person behind you does."
Senju Chen's smile disappeared.
"What do you mean?"
"Stop pretending." The man sneered, "A businessman can build a hotel with the same name across Five Great Nations in just one year, and recruit so many ninjas who own Kekkei Genkai as soon as Land of Water comes. Do you think I will believe that there is no one behind you?"
Senju Chen was silent.
This guy... has made a very clear investigation.
"So?" Senju Chen's tone became colder, "What do you want to do?"
"I said, I want you to help me kill Yagura." There was a hint of madness in the man's voice, "As long as you agree, I will tell you all the secrets of Kirigakure."
Senju Chen stared at him.
"Who are you anyway?"
The man was silent for a few seconds.
Then, he slowly took off his mask.
Under the mask is a young face.
There was a hideous scar on that face, extending from his forehead to his chin.
But the most eye-catching thing is his eyes.
Those eyes are light blue.
He is exactly the same as the Yuki Clan boy Senju Chen saw just now.
"My name is Yukimura Shigure." The man's voice was very calm, "The former patriarch of the Yuki Clan."
Senju Chen was stunned for a moment.
The patriarch of the Yuki Clan?
Didn't it mean that Yuki Clan's elders are all dead?
"Aren't you dead?" Senju Chen asked.
"I am indeed dead." Yukimura Shigure smiled, "At least in Kirigakure's records, I am already dead."
He paused.
"But in reality, I just faked my death to escape."
Senju Chen stared at him without speaking.
"I know what you are thinking." Yukimura Shigure said, "You are thinking why I fake death, why I hide, and why I don't save my people."
His voice became deeper.
"Because I can't save you."
"Kirigakure is too strong, so strong that I have no room to resist."
"And..." His eyes became cold, "I found that behind Yagura, there may be a more terrifying person."
Senju Chen felt something in his heart.
A scarier person?
Could it be...
In the original book, the reason why Fourth Mizukage Yagura went crazy to purge the Kekkei Genkai family was because he was controlled by Obito Uchiha.
Obito used Sharingan to control Yagura, turning the entire Kirigakure into his experimental field.
"I have my intelligence source." Senju Chen didn't explain much, "So, you want me to help you kill Yagura, but actually you want me to help you deal with the person behind him?"
Yukimura Shigure was silent.
"That's right." He nodded, "As long as I can kill that bastard, I'm willing to pay anything."
Senju Chen stared at him.
If it was really Obito Uchiha, it would be really inconvenient for Senju Chen to attack the opponent.
"Sorry." Senju Chen shook his head, "I can't help you with this."
Yukimura Shigure's expression changed.
"You..."
"I said, I can't help." Senju Chen interrupted him
He paused.
"But..."
Yukimura Shigure raised his head.
"If you are willing to tell me all the information about Kirigakure, I can consider helping you deal with Yagura if there is a chance in the future."
Yukimura Shigure stared at Senju Chen and said nothing for a long while.
Finally, he sighed.
"Okay."
He took out a scroll from his arms and threw it to Senju Chen.
"Here are all the secrets of Kirigakure."
Senju Chen took the scroll, opened it and took a look.
The scroll is densely filled with words.
Information about Yagura, information about human experiments...
Everything you need.
Senju Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good."
He put away the scroll and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." Yukimura Shigure suddenly called him.
Senju Chen stopped.
"Anything else?"
"Those Yuki Clan people who escaped..." Yukimura Shigure's voice was trembling, "Please, take care of them."
Senju Chen turned around and looked at him.
This man's eyes were full of sadness and despair.
"Don't worry. I will."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Aying followed him, and the two quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Yukimura Shigure stood there, looking at the direction they left.
After a long time, he put on the mask and disappeared into the darkness.
