Chapter 277: Something Went Wrong!
The huge stone tablet that rose from the ground, the contribution points mission, suddenly appeared the boundary tablet on the border, and the arena that was built near the stone tablet.
All kinds of novel things appeared in front of Sakumo, and even the vitality of the entire country was presented in front of him, making him feel as if he was seeing the rise of another Konoha.
No!
It might eventually surpass Konoha!
And Mifune.
According to the information they had gathered, Mifune was a person who sought peace. They never killed innocent people. They were very kind to their subordinates and ordinary villagers. Although they were a little old-fashioned and stubborn, that was the impression that warriors gave people.
In general, Mifune could be considered a good person who did not have many black spots.
Moreover, when they found out that Akatsuki was wholeheartedly developing the Land of Iron, allowing the people to live a better life, Mifune also chose to invest all their energy into the development of the country. Many things were done personally by people.
With this, he gained quite a bit of reputation and praise.
However, Sakumo's current task was to assassinate such a person.
"When are we going to act?"
After returning to the room, facing the questioning of the other two, Sakumo calmly said, "We will confirm the location and route of the target tomorrow. After we succeed, we will immediately retreat according to the original plan."
The two of them did not expect that Sakumo would be so straightforward. They were stunned at first, and then nodded as if relieved.
After all, the task that Hokage gave them was too tempting.
If it was true, it would be difficult for the two of them to return alive.
The night was silent.
The second day was early in the morning, and the three of them once again went out to gather information like conjoined twins.
This time, they mainly inquired about the specific location of Mifune and his daily schedule, and then used them to make the operation plan.
Although it was fine to directly find people to rush over, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be Akatsuki's experts here.
Therefore, it had to be a little more stable.
Fortunately, the day after tomorrow, there would be an annual Martial Arts Competition in Land of Iron. This tradition was preserved.
In the past, only samurais were allowed to participate, but now, anyone could participate. Ninjas who were good at using sword could also participate, but they could only use swordsman, and they were forbidden from using any ninjutsu.
Of course, even if it was just a little bit, there would definitely be a situation of being disabled.
So bear the consequences!
The first prize of this Martial Arts Competition was a famous sword made of many precious materials - Black Soul.
In the other anime, it belonged to the level of other treasures like the Twelve Supreme Grade Blades!
Although Sakumo was also shocked by the big deal of this Martial Arts Competition, he still placed the task first.
However, after making a round of inquiries, he discovered that in the recent days, Mifune had been living in seclusion. He would personally show up and give the winner honor and the sword only on the Martial Arts Competition day after tomorrow.
They would either force their way into the enemy's base camp, or use the opportunity of the Martial Arts Competition to quietly approach Mifune and defeat the enemy with one blade.
After discussing with the other two, they all thought that the latter's success rate was higher.
This was because the former did not say whether the mission would succeed or not, just making it so that the mighty figures could not escape was a big problem.
Although everyone was aware of this assassination mission, if they could survive, who would be willing to die here?
Thus, the operation plan was decided.
Sakumo and one of them went to register tomorrow, and then disguised themselves as contestants the day after tomorrow, fighting for first place without revealing their identities. This way, they could finish the mission in one fell swoop while Mifune came.
If the process was not smooth, then another companion hidden in the audience group would cause a disturbance, and the two of them would take advantage of the chaos.
The A and B plan has been made, and the evacuation route has been set up. The rest will depend on whether the operation will go smoothly on the day of the operation.
Another day passed.
Sakumo and another person got the qualification to participate in the competition as a fabrication.
But now, Sakumo felt uneasy.
Because just now, he had seen that most of the other contestants had signed up with a piece of metal.
Only a very small number of people were like the two of them, directly saying a name and getting the number of the competition.
However, he could not ask about it on the spot, so he could only leave quickly with doubts.
Undoubtedly, this was a major mistake in investigating intelligence these two days!
After returning, Sakumo immediately told the other two about this matter. The other two Jonin were also felt the same. They immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and then split up to inquire about the relevant information.
At this time, they did not have time to monitor Sakumo's mission.
After all, the feeling that Sakumo gave them these days did not seem to be a problem at all. Otherwise, the problem that Sakumo discovered just now did not need to be told to them, and it was very likely to kill them.
After some investigation, the information was smoothly understood, but the problem was not solved perfectly.
It turned out that after Akatsuki ruled over the Land of Iron, he immediately implemented the National Registration System, and 'wasted' a large amount of ore for everyone to get a full metal 'citizen ID card'.
It could be said that it was immediately separated from the people outside.
Therefore, most of the people that Sakumo saw in the registration area were people from the Land of Iron, only a few outsiders.
This Martial Arts Competition did not say that outsiders were not allowed to participate, so it caused the registration of two modes.
After the doubts were solved, the other two found out that their identities were not exposed. It was just a coincidence, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.
But in fact, the most reliable way now should be to give up on continuing to participate in the competition, lay low, and look for opportunities again.
However, it was too difficult to find such a good opportunity to complete the task.
The two Jonin who could not give up the task like this finally decided to act according to the original plan.
Although Sakumo was uneasy, he could only give up.
If he chose to give up the mission, the village might lose their last trust in him.
That was the only way.
However, Sakumo's worry was right!
Just after the registration of the day, the small notebook that recorded all the registered information of outsiders appeared directly in front of Mifune.
And Guren was also here!
The cause was naturally that [Myriad Realms Monolith] issued a new special security mission to Haru - to repel the assassination team from Konoha. The mission required to ensure the safety of Mifune
After receiving this mission, Haru immediately analyzed a lot of information. Then, he used Flying Thunder God to send Guren and the others over and explained the situation.
Although he didn't know who Konoha had sent to assassinate Mifune this time, it was not wrong to be cautious.
After that, he would leave it to Mifune to deal with it himself. If he knew in advance that someone would come to assassinate him, and the result was that he overturned the car, then Haru would also accept it.
When he can stand up, why should he die?
