Chapter 119 The Ibri Clan
"This Rank B mission is good. It's in the Land of Fire, close by, and the reward is generous. How about eliminating suspicious ninjas?"
Because of the war, the village had a backlog of missions. Kyosuke quickly found a suitable mission and then went to the Uchiha clan's territory to find Shisui and carry out the mission.
Since we already have team members, we might as well use them.
The Uchiha's residential area is a very large area, practically a village within a village of Konoha.
This place is mostly populated by members of the Uchiha clan. Of course, most of them are ordinary people. As long as you ignore the subtle probing gazes of the Uchiha ninjas, Kyosuke thinks this place is quite prosperous.
After walking for a short while, Kyosuke smelled a delicious aroma of food. Following the smell, he turned around and saw a pancake shop.
"Hmm, bring Shisui here later. He doesn't care about eating barbecue, let alone a mere pancake."
After asking for directions twice, Kyosuke found Shisui, successfully ate the pancakes, and the two began their mission.
"Tsk tsk, I thought I would encounter provocation from the Uchiha, like Uchiha Shu last time, but nothing happened. What a peaceful life."
While on his journey, Shisui overheard Kyosuke's regretful words and was speechless.
"Captain, Uchiha Ken, Uchiha Takuya, and Uchiha Shu were accused of causing Sakumo Hatake's death because they provoked him, which brought a lot of controversy to the clan. Therefore, the clan head sent them out on missions and they are rarely in the village."
"So that's how it is."
The two chatted as they left Konoha and headed towards their mission destination.
The person who issued the task was a nobleman, and apparently a relative of the daimyo.
This nobleman's castle seems to be hiding ninjas. Many people are frightened and have lost a lot of supplies and money, causing widespread panic. So they issued a request to Konoha.
When they arrived at the castle, there was only one terrified servant.
The servant exchanged a brief conversation with Kyosuke and then left in a hurry.
"This castle is nice. Gardens, lake, tall walls, beautiful carpets, tsk tsk, I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to make a lot of money in my life and buy a castle for myself."
Kyosuke and Shisui began their inspection, with Kyosuke offering his opinions on the castle.
Shisui was young, and after using his Sharingan for a while, he felt a little tired and suggested, "This castle is very big, and we can't investigate it all in a short time. Let's take a break first."
Kyosuke nodded: "Okay, not just the castle, but the surrounding area should also be checked slowly. Maybe there will be clues. There's no use in rushing. Let's eat something first."
Normally, they eat their own food when they are on missions, but the castle has a lot of ingredients and the kitchen is fully equipped, so they naturally want to eat something better.
Kyosuke busied himself in the kitchen for a while and prepared a sumptuous lunch. Shisui took a bite and was quite surprised.
"Captain, I didn't know you were such a good cook!"
Kyosuke laughed loudly and said shamelessly, "Of course, I am the leader of the Konoha Gourmet Team, nicknamed Konoha Gourmet, so my cooking skills are naturally superb."
"By the way, Shisui, your Sharingan has amazing observational skills and the ability to copy, you're practically born chefs. Next time I cook, you can use your Sharingan to copy it, and then use your even better observational skills to fine-tune it. You'll definitely cook better than me."
"Tell me honestly, are all of you Uchiha clan gourmets? I think even if you can't be ninjas, you can be chefs. It's very easy to switch professions."
During the meal, Kyosuke chatted about this and that, enjoying his food, while Shisui just smiled awkwardly, unsure how to respond.
What kind of thoughts are going through this captain's mind? He's so different from ordinary people.
While they were eating, two people were talking in the ice storage room beneath the castle.
"So, who is it that has arrived?"
"Two people have arrived. They are ninjas from Konoha. They must have been invited to deal with us."
"Konoha ninjas must be really strong. Maybe we should run away."
"Wait a minute. They look very young and might not be very strong. Let's scare them a little first. If we can scare them away, we can buy some time. If they're too tough to deal with, then we'll leave."
"Okay, there are a lot of supplies here. We need time to move as much as possible."
Having come up with an idea, the two transformed into a wisp of smoke and drifted out of the ice cellar, arriving at the restaurant's door and floating into the kitchen through the crack in the door.
At this moment, Kyosuke sat in a chair after finishing his meal, picking his teeth with a toothpick, while Shisui very proactively cleaned the tableware.
The two were completely unfazed and unaware that the enemy was approaching.
"As expected, these two Konoha ninjas are not that strong at all; they didn't even notice our presence."
"That's good. Let's knock them out and throw them out. They should be scared."
"Okay, let's go!"
The two plumes of smoke approached and conferred briefly before drifting close to the ground into the restaurant. A figure passed under the table, came to Kyosuke's feet, and suddenly enveloped him, taking control of his body.
Shizuku, who was in the kitchen, sensed something unusual behind him. Just as he was about to turn around, a cloud of smoke invaded his body, rendering him unable to move.
After knocking out Kyosuke and Shisui, the two puffs of smoke transformed into two young men.
"Alright, just throw them out."
"Yes, there's no wind outside now, we need to hurry."
The two picked up Kyosuke and Shisui respectively, and were about to leave the restaurant when they suddenly saw another Kyosuke and Shisui standing at the door, blocking their way out.
"You can turn your bodies into smoke, so you must be ninjas too. I'm arresting you now on charges of theft. You'd better not resist, or I might accidentally kill you in a fight."
Kyosuke spouted nonsense to attract their attention, while Shisui took the opportunity to activate his Sharingan and use genjutsu on them.
The two of them were controlled by illusion before they even had a chance to speak.
"Captain, my abilities are limited; I can only control the two of them for a few seconds."
Seeing that the illusion was taking effect, Shisui reminded Kyosuke to hurry up and deal with the two of them.
"Excessive humility is arrogance. You're only a few years old, yet you can control two ninjas with genjutsu in an instant. If that's an ability, then others are simply incompetent."
Kyosuke stepped forward and injected the two with a drug to ensure they would be unconscious for two days before binding them up and preparing to take them back to Konoha.
The ability to turn into smoke is probably some kind of bloodline limit; the village might be interested in it.
According to the information sent back by the shadow clones, after the enemy turns into smoke, they can directly enter other people's bodies and cause destruction, which is a very magical ability.
However, as soon as they stepped out the door, they were stopped by someone.
"My name is Gota, the leader of the Ibri clan, a Konoha ninja. Please forgive me for not managing my clan well and causing you trouble. Also, please hand them over to me. I will explain the situation to Konoha and ensure that your mission is not a failure."
