章 83: Chapter 83 Inoichi Doubts His Life

Hearing this, Mui was overwhelmed by emotions, and agreed involuntarily, "I understand, although I'm just an ordinary Genin, I will do my best!"

"Don't underestimate yourself, you are not ordinary, and you can't be ordinary!" Sōseki smiled slightly, "If you are too ordinary, how can you become the Kage of Kusagakure?"

Mui was dazed upon hearing this, "Kage?"

Sōseki nodded, "Only when you become the Kage of Kusagakure can you ease the resistance to what we want to do!"

A flame called "ambition" burned in Mui's eyes, "I will be a Kage, and only in this way can I become your "arm"!"

"It's a bit too far to talk about that." Sōseki said with a smile, "Let's talk about Iwagakure's plans again!"

Mui tried his best to calm down his excitement, and then laughed, "If those Iwagakure's people knew that the seal that was originally used to keep their secrets was changed into a seal to keep his secrets by that person, they would definitely be so angry that they spit up blood!"

"Unfortunately, I can't see their angry expression myself!" Mui sighed and said, "Except for that person, the Shinobi sent by Iwagakure include one Jōnin, five Chunin, and twenty-seven Genin. As for the Land of Grass, nearly half of the high-level officials have been infiltrated. They are the Land of Grass's Daimyō, the Minister of Finance, ... "

After hearing Mui say a long list of names, Sōseki narrowed his eyes, "The situation is more serious than I thought!"

After saying that, Sōseki contain his aura, open the window, and put the small paper tube back into the beak of the pigeon waiting outside.

He then uses Genjutsu to delete part of the pigeon's memory before sending it away.

Mui was a little confused after seeing this, "That note..."

Sōseki calmly closed the window, "Don't worry, I also have some calculations of my own."

Hearing Sōseki said so, Mui stopped asking questions.

He now trusts Sōseki almost unconditionally, 'Since Sōseki said so, there will be absolutely no problem!'

"Apart from this, I still have I would like to ask you to help with."

...

At the residence of the Minister of Finance.

Seeing Sōseki's return, the three who had been waiting here finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Asuma immediately exclaimed, "Let me talk about what Kurenai and I have discovered first. The Mission Center has indeed changed, and a large part of the entrusted missions are more inclined to be handed over to Iwagakure. I suspect that the upper layer of Kusagakure may have been almost completely infiltrated!"

Inoichi then said with a heavy voice, "I also discovered a terrifying fact in my chat with that Ueno, that is — the Daimyō of Land of Grass may have betrayed Konoha!"

Sōseki agreed, "You are right, besides the Daimyō, there are also the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, ..."

After listening to Sōseki's long list of names, the three of them fell silent.

They didn't doubt anything. With Sōseki's cautiousness and steadiness, he would definitely have confirmed the answer if he said it, but they were still confused.

'Something is wrong. We are still just guessing and suspecting, but how come you even have the answer?'

'Everyone is also looking for information, but why are you so good?'

Kurenai then exclaimed in a low voice, "Amazing! Sōseki, you have a lot more information than us!"

Sōseki smiled and accepted the compliment, "Apart from these, I also know about Iwagakure's plans and the strength of the Land of Grass."

Hearing this, Asuma screamed in horror, "Sōseki, what did you do to that Mui? Why did he even tell you all this?"

Sōseki said calmly, "Because, I made him change side."

The three were silent for a while. They knew that for Mui to be able to be sent out by Iwagakure as an undercover agent meant that the other party should be very trusted, and even in Iwagakure's opinion, it was impossible for him to betray them.

'But... Sōseki made him change side in just a few hours?'

As an intelligence gathering specialized Shinobi, Inoichi almost doubts his life. 'It turns out, is it so easy to inquire about information?'

'Then, what I have been doing all this time? Bastard!'

Asuma then asked blankly, "Then, our mission is completed?"

Inoichi smiled wryly and said, "It should be."

He originally wanted to show his students how he accomplished the mission, so that they could also experience the thrill of being taken care of.

'But this is just the beginning, why did Sōseki take it all the way to the end?'

'As their teacher, I'm really embarrassed for doing almost nothing!'

"Then, have a good rest tonight, we'll go back tomorrow..."

"Inoichi-sensei, please wait a moment." Sōseki interrupted, "Although Iwagakure's information has been collected, I have also discovered other information during this process."

Kurenai asked in surprise, "There is other information?"

Sōseki said in a heavy voice, "Iwagakure has placed two Jōnin in the Land of Grass, but the Jōnin who is in charge of this operation seems to have some strange ideas."

Inoichi's eyes fluctuate slightly and then he said, "Sōseki, please explain it in detail."

Sōseki then said seriously, "To put it simply, in Hōzuki Castle, there is something called Box of Ultimate Bliss which is said to be able to fulfill people's wishes. That Iwagakure's Jōnin believed in this rumor and tried to sacrifice the prisoners' power to open that Box of Ultimate Bliss. Of course, what he said to Iwagakure's higher-ups was to control the prisoners of Hōzuki Castle as a hidden power in the war..."

Hearing this, Inoichi couldn't help but interrupted, "Wait, Sōseki, how did you know about this?"

"This is also what I learned from Mui."

"But for such an important matter, shouldn't he have a seal on him?"

"The information he unintentionally revealed is enough for me to deduce the general process, and judging from his reaction, I should have guessed correctly." Sōseki speaks in a calm tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Inoichi is once again at a loss. 'Can even seal be bypassed?'

Perhaps because he is already used to being shocked, Asuma was no longer surprised. He responded faster than Inoichi and asked, "Then, can we spread the news to trigger Iwagakure's internal strife?"

"You look down on him too much. With Tsuchikage's prestige in Iwagakure, a Jōnin can't change much, but..." Sōseki pondered for a moment and then said, "This may be an opportunity to change Kusagakure's situation."

Asuma's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sōseki, you want to take this opportunity to destroy those Iwagakure in the Land of Grass..."

Before he could finish speaking, Inoichi hurriedly interrupted," No, it's too dangerous! No matter what, the enemy is still two Jōnin. There are also many Chunin and Genin, and even the prisoners of Hōzuki Castle. It's not something we can fight against!"

"Inoichi-sensei, don't worry, I'm not the kind of reckless man who would fight them head-on." Sōseki smiled and reassured, "Since I said this, I naturally have some preparations."

"That's right, Sōseki must have already thought of a way..." Asuma said excitedly, and then he suddenly realized something was wrong, "Wait, the reckless man you're talking about is not me, right?"

Thinking of Sōseki's consistent performance, Inoichi also calmed down a little, "What are you going to do?"

Sōseki analyzed in an orderly manner, "First of all, Mui is a descendant of Hōzuki Castle's prison warden clan, so he knows the Box of Ultimate Bliss the best. That's why that Iwagakure's Jōnin valued him so much and deliberately put a seal on him. And, because of this seal, he probably won't doubt Mui's words!"

Hearing this, everyone already understood Sōseki's plan.

Kurenai then asked excitedly, "Is it to make Mui divide them?"

"It is actually very difficult to succeed under normal circumstances, but..." Sōseki said calmly, "For those who have devils in their hearts, just a little bit of doubt is enough to make them desperate!"

"This is external, and the next step is internal." Sōseki looked at Inoichi with a solemn expression, "Inoichi-sensei, your clan's Mind Body Switch Technique should be able to do this..."

Hearing Sōseki's detailed plan, Inoichi's eyes lit up, and finally, even his own heart was moved, "If the plan goes smoothly, it really might succeed. If this happens, then we can not only remove Iwagakure's influence in Kusagakure, but also make Kusagakure angry and disgusted by Iwagakure, and finally stand back on our Konoha's side."

Asuma nodded again and again, "Even if the plan fails, we can just let Sōseki use Flying Thunder God technique to take us away from here!"

Inoichi released a sigh and then said, "Okay, I'll go crazy with you too for once!"
