Chapter 584 Preparation(1/2)
"Senior Kai, I didn't expect the village to send you here."
Outside the castle where the Daming Mansion is located, the members of Team 7, led by Tian Zang, saw Team Kai rushing from the direction of the Land of Fire to the Daming Mansion in the Country of Chi.
Therefore, Tianzang took the initiative to say hello to Kai, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"It's you, why are you here? And... what's going on? If I remember correctly, this is the location of the Daming Mansion of Chi Country? How did it become like this?"
After the team headed by Kai came here, they naturally saw the castle in a state of ruin and waiting for redevelopment after the war, and they all showed surprise.
Kai, in particular, opened his mouth wide and looked dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe that this would be the location of the famous palace of the Kingdom of Chi.
What's even more strange is that the city didn't look like it had been invaded at all along the way, but when we got here, it was filled with the smoke of war.
Kai was puzzled by the occurrence of this scene.
Kai's question made Tenzo smile bitterly.
"There is no doubt that this is indeed the Daming Mansion of the Country of Chi. As for why our seventh team is here, it is a long story. In short, it is due to various chances and coincidences. Looking back now, I still feel
I was so frightened that I broke into a cold sweat."
Next, Tianzang told Team Kai in detail what happened last night, trying to let the people in Team Kai understand the current situation of Daming Mansion in the Country of Chi.
Not surprisingly, the new ruler of the Country of Chi will change hands soon.
And the international trend will be tilted towards the country of ghosts.
It's just that this kind of thing is not something that he, a Konoha jounin, can decide or even stop. He can only let it all happen under his nose.
After Tianzang's detailed description, Team Kai finally understood the current situation in the Country of Chi.
The Daming Mansion was attacked last night, and there was a shadow of control from the Kingdom of Ghost behind it. The Daiming family of the Kingdom of Chi could basically be eliminated from the ruling group of the Kingdom of Chi. As a result, the members of Team Kai had solemn expressions on their faces.
On the one hand, he sympathizes with the situation in Chi Country, and on the other hand, he is also concerned about the difficulty of the current situation. From this point of view, the task assigned to Team Kai by the Hokage is basically impossible to complete.
"Teacher Kai, what should we do next? The Daimyo of Chi Country is now someone else's prisoner. This is really not good."
Tiantian came up and asked.
Neji and Xiao Li's eyes were also focused on Kai, as if the opinions of Kai, the leader of the team, were the main one.
Compared to them, Kai, who can become a Jonin, is obviously more experienced in handling these things.
Kai's brows rose, he touched his chin and said: "The task assigned to us by Lord Hokage is mainly to assist in the investigation. However, since the Daimyo of Ikeda has lost power, it is better to meet him due to circumstances and reasons."
Sympathy is sympathy, but as a Jonin, Kai obviously smelled something unusual from this mission.
His intuition told him that the Hokage might have predicted the situation here, but he did not tell his team clearly.
Moreover, if you really want to intervene in the affairs of Chi Zhiguo, you will not focus on the word 'investigation' in the content of the task, but focus on military assistance.
But facing a behemoth like the Kingdom of Demons, military assistance alone would not be enough to dispatch one or two Konoha squads. It would definitely be based on formed troops.
Therefore, Kai could only tell himself that this mission was a bit tricky, and it was best not to do anything other than the mission, and just report to the village after completing the 'process'.
"Senior Kai, do you want to meet the Daimyo of the Country of Chi? I'm afraid this matter must be approved by the person in charge of the Country of Ghosts."
Tianzang said so.
"It doesn't matter. It would be best if it can succeed. If it doesn't work, just go back and report. Then, we will take the first step."
Kai turned his attention to the ruined castle.
He didn't know what the outcome of the subsequent negotiations would be. It would be best if he could successfully meet the Daimyo of Chi Country. There would be no problem if he couldn't meet him. Anyway, this 'investigation' mission, formally speaking, has been completed... Well,
It is forced to be completed.
"Okay, let's wait for you at the bottom of the mountain, and then we can go back together to recover."
Tenzo nodded and made way for Kai's team.
Kai led his team members towards the castle. As expected, when he was about to enter the castle, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.
Kai didn't pay attention, he just told the gatekeeper why he came and wanted to talk to the person in charge here.
…
Less than ten minutes passed, and Kai finally met the person in charge of Daming Mansion in Chi Country. To his surprise, this person was no stranger to him.
"I remember you were..."
Kai saw Kazuhime's face that resembled that of his former teacher Uchiha Ruri, and he had met Kazuhime many times during the Chuunin Exam finals in the Kingdom of Demons, so he immediately recognized Kazuhime's identity.
"Although I knew Konoha would send someone here, I didn't expect it would be you."
When Yi Ji saw Kai and the other members of Kai's team, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and then a light smile appeared on her face, as if she was a little surprised by the arrival of Kai's team.
"It's a pity that your trip was in vain. If there is nothing important, you can just go back and forth from where you came."
When saying this, Yi Ji's tone was quite impolite, and her eyes were fixed on Kai.
She learned from her mother that this thick-browed Jonin with a watermelon head would be an extremely difficult ninja.
And maybe Konoha is the strongest, stronger than Naruto.
This is probably the saying that people should not be judged by their appearance.
He obviously looks like an inconspicuous guy, and his appearance looks quite weird, but to get such a comment from her mother, he is definitely not a simple guy.
If it weren't for the inappropriate time, I would really like to have a passionate fight with such a powerful ninja.
"That's not possible. We came all the way here and we can't return empty-handed. If you don't mind, could you let us visit the Daimyo of Chi Country? We need to learn some things from him."
This is a lie. The reason Kai chose to see the Daimyo of the Country of Chi was just to confirm the current situation of the Daimyo of the Country of Chi and whether he died in the chaos last night.
After all, there are many uncertainties in Tianzang's words. Before seeing the facts with his own eyes, Kai prefers to find the truth through his own investigation rather than relying on other people's oral accounts.
After Kai said this, Yiji narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Kai from bottom to top, as if she was considering something.
"Is that okay? I guarantee that the formal contact with the target will not exceed fifteen minutes, and you can also arrange for someone to accompany you throughout the process."
Kai continued.
Ichiji continued to stare at Kai, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, for the sake of my mother, I will let you go over and meet the Daimyo of Chi Country. However, you can only go there alone, and the other three cannot."
Kai agreed without hesitation: "No problem, I can do it alone."
Neji and the three people behind him had no objections.
"Come with me."
Yiji left these words and turned back to the castle.
"You three meet up with Team 7 at the foot of the mountain and wait for me there."
Kai turned his head and said this to Ningci and the other three, and then followed Yiji into the castle to meet the Daimyo of the Country of Chi.
…
In less than fifteen minutes, Kai walked out of the castle and went down the mountain to join the members of the team and Team 7.
"How is it, Senior Kai, how is the status of the Daimyo of the Country of Chi?"
Seeing Kai coming down from the mountain, Tianzang stepped forward and asked.
Kai replied: "At present, there is no serious problem with the Daimyo of Chi Country and his family records. Except for the restriction of freedom, other aspects have been properly arranged."
Although Konoha and the Kingdom of Demons where he was located were on opposing sides, he had to praise the Kingdom of Demons for its disciplinary requirements for its subordinates.
In terms of discipline, even Konoha where he was was probably far behind them.
Especially in this case, it can test the time and energy that a country or a village of ninja usually invests in discipline.
He had seen this kind of thing countless times during the Ninja World War, with the victor completely ravaging the defeated party.
Even as an enemy, the Demon Country is an enemy worthy of his respect.
"Is that so? In this case, you can go back and return to the Hokage properly."
Hearing this, Tianzang breathed a sigh of relief.
Although freedom is restricted, no matter what, the country of ghosts still treats each other kindly and will not die unexpectedly.
Perhaps the Kingdom of Oni was concerned about its reputation and preserved the name of the Kingdom of Chi and its family records, but no matter what the reason was, it is an indisputable fact that the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Chi was treated well.
As for whether the follow-up can be consistent, it depends on the discipline requirements of the Kingdom of Ghosts.
"Yes, I didn't expect that I would have to return to the village immediately after arriving here... This mission is a complete failure. I don't know how the Hokage will react when he finds out."
Kai thought about how to explain the mission process to Tsunade after returning home.
"Then I don't know. Anyway, let's leave this place of right and wrong quickly."
Although they didn't sleep all night, the members of Team 7, headed by Tenzo, were still energetic enough to continue their journey.
The Kai team also came all night, and they didn't get much rest all night, and they still had a lot of energy. But as Tianzang said, the country of Chi is already a place of right and wrong. It is not suitable to stay in this place for a long time. It is best to leave as soon as possible.
s Choice.
"No, you don't even have time to rest?"
As a girl, it is inevitable to complain every day.
Rushing to the Country of Chi overnight, she originally sacrificed her sleep time, but ended up not having time to rest during the day. If this situation continued, I'm afraid she would have to be prepared to rest after returning to the village.
Even if her physical strength allows it, she doesn't like the feeling of rushing around at night and during the day.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Okay, stop complaining and have a good rest after you go back. Team Kai, let's go!"
Kai patted Tiantian on the shoulder and gave her a thumbs up. His white teeth were shining in the sun, and he had a serious excess of energy.
"Oh...well, this is the only way."
Tiantian nodded dejectedly.
"Then let's work up our energy here."
Tenzo also encouraged Naruto and the three of them, telling them to cheer up and rest as long as they returned to the village.
To be continued...
