In the small building where Kumogakure lives, all the curtains have been closed at this time.
Little A was standing in front of the long table with no expression on his face, but none of the Kumogakure ninjas present dared to speak out.
"Notify everyone of change of plans."
Little A's voice is not loud, but every word is hit hard.
"Everyone will evacuate immediately early tomorrow morning Konoha. The word to the outside world is that there are urgent matters that need to be dealt with in the village, and Lord Raikage has sent a secret message. Everyone pack their bags tonight, and don't leave anything that shouldn't be brought."
"Chief, that investigation plan..." a close aide responded.
"Almost all that should be investigated has been investigated. We won't be able to touch the more core ones if we stay any longer. It's meaningless." Little A said
"Chief, the signing of the treaty has just ended. Would it be wrong to leave so soon..."
"No." Little A blocked it directly, "The treaty has been signed, and subsequent implementation details can be handled through paperwork. It makes no sense for us to stay in Konoha."
He scanned around the people present.
"The evacuation will be divided into two groups. In the first group, Anyue and the investigators will leave this afternoon. Tomorrow morning, Bi and I will leave again with the official members of the mission."
A ninja in plain clothes raised his hand. "Chief, why are we divided into batches?"
"Reduce risk." Little A didn't explain much.
But he didn't say the real reason.
Killer B is Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. After those unexplainable things happened to Konoha, Little A did not dare to put all his eggs in one basket. The first group of people to leave were responsible for setting up safety nodes along the way. In case something happened to the first batch of hidden personnel on the way, there would at least be an escape route.
Killer B was sitting on a chair in the corner, with his arms folded in front of his chest and his mouth pouted.
"Brother, I haven't figured out what the Chosen One is all about."
Little A glanced at Killer B.
That look was calm, but Killer B had known his brother for more than 20 years and knew that that look meant - try saying one more word.
Killer B swallowed the words that came to his lips, lowered his head and flipped through his little rap book.
After the arrangements were completed, everyone dispersed to get ready.
Little A was left alone in the room, standing at the gap in the curtains and looking out.
The third-story windows of the gray administrative building opposite were lit.
From the first day they moved in until now, the light in that window has never been turned off.
Little A stared at the window for five seconds and closed the curtains.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
The luggage of the Kumogakure mission has already been piled at the door. The first batch of people left yesterday afternoon in a low-key manner. The members of the mission stayed until today to keep Konoha's attention on them and allow the first batch of people to evacuate safely.
"Chief, Senju Chen from Konoha is here, right outside the courtyard gate!"
"Go out and meet." Little A heard that Senju Chen was coming. He didn't dare to let down his guard and immediately led people to the door.
Senju Chen was standing outside, wearing dark blue casual clothes and holding a square wooden box in his hand.
"I heard you are leaving? Why don't you stay a few more days?"
Senju Chen's tone was filled with just the right amount of regret, as if he had just rushed over after hearing the news.
Little A recommends Gate of Opening.
"An urgent message has come from the village. There are some things that we need to go back to deal with as soon as possible. We are causing trouble to Minister Senju."
"Where are you?" Senju Chen handed over the wooden box in his hand, "Konoha's new tea will be harvested this spring. Then I will have Konoha greetings Lord Raikage."
Little A took the wooden box with both hands.
He pressed his fingertips slightly on the lid of the box.
The weight, texture, and thickness of the wooden box are all what an ordinary tea box should look like. There are no Chakra fluctuations, no seal lines, and no abnormal wear or opening and closing marks on the corners of the box.
Just a box of ordinary tea leaves.
Little A casually handed the box to the accompanying ninja and asked him to put the box away.
"Thank you Minister Senju for your hospitality these days. Kumogakure will keep it in mind. When you go to Kumogakure next time, I will entertain you instead."
"You're welcome." Senju Chen smiled, looking past Little A and landing on Killer B in the yard.
Killer B was squatting next to the luggage to tie the rope, his movements were slow, and he was obviously reluctant to leave.
Senju Chen walked over and patted Killer B on the shoulder.
"Next time I come to Konoha, I will teach you a few more tricks to rap."
Killer B's eyes lit up instantly, as if someone had poured electricity into a light bulb.
"Really?! Little Chenchen What you said! I've already practiced that stress shift you taught me last time--"
Little A's hand directly grabbed Killer B's back collar and lifted him up from the ground.
"Gone."
"Brother! Wait! I haven't..."
"Let's go."
Killer B was dragged towards the door, still shouting.
"Little Chenchen! I'll let you listen to my new work next time I come here! I recently wrote a song called The Chosen One!!!"
Senju Chen stood in the middle of the yard, smiled and waved to him.
"Have a nice trip."
The Kumogakure delegation filed out of the gate of the Guest House and walked along the Konoha main street towards the main entrance.
Senju Chen watched them go away at the entrance of the hospital.
He didn't look back until the last figure in the team disappeared around the corner.
He turned around and walked in the direction of the Public Security Department building, walking slowly and leisurely.
Public Security Department Third floor, office.
Senju Chen sat behind the chair and pulled out a stack of reports from the drawer.
This is compiled by the Public Security Department Intelligence Section - a complete summary of the actions of all members of the Kumogakure mission during the Konoha period.
He opened the first page and underlined key positions with a pen as he read.
The elite armor in civilian clothes stopped at the streets of the South District the next morning, and the observation direction pointed to the Hyuga mansion. They turned back at a distance of 240 meters and did not continue to approach.
Senju Chen wrote three words next to it: Shisui's contribution.
Hyuga Main Family's defense was airtight. With three shifts of Uchiha guards and Hyuga's own hidden sentries, these Kumogakure elites didn't even get a chance to conduct reconnaissance.
Turn to the second page.
Elite B in civilian clothes queued up at the Medical Department on the afternoon of the third day, disguised as a civilian at the Land of Fire border, with a bandage on his right arm. After queuing for forty minutes, he was informed that he would have to wait for three days, and left immediately. He did not come into contact with any Medical Department internal personnel.
Senju Chen The corners of his mouth moved.
Queued a loneliness.
Turn to page three.
Elites C and D in civilian clothes have been active in commercial streets, outside the training ground, and near the Ninja Academy many times. Information such as the frequency of patrol changes, the appearance characteristics of Scientific Ninja Tool, and the teaching demonstration of the Chakra storage unit were recorded.
Senju Chen read this page twice, and then wrote a line of comments at the bottom of the page:
"It's all within control. Everything they see is meant for them to see."
Ninja Academy's teaching demonstration, the patrolling ninja's new equipment, Medical Department's long queue, and the communication box he "accidentally" took out - these things are indeed real, but they are all the "display layer" carefully selected by Senju Chen.
The real core technology - Scientific Ninja Tool's manufacturing principle, Limb Regeneration's Taijutsu style, and the underlying architecture of the communication system - Kumogakure have not even scratched the surface.
What they got was what Senju Chen wanted them to get.
What was brought back to Third Raikage was what Senju Chen wanted Third Raikage to know.
Let Kumogakure know that Konoha is very strong now.
And it's getting stronger.
So don't cause trouble.
