Konoha's task master

The thick fog that shrouded half of Daming Mansion gradually dissipated, making no sound. Looking at the majestic and prosperous Daming Mansion, Yakumo suddenly felt a little depressed and chilly in his heart.

Such a big thing happened in the research room, and no one came to check it out from beginning to end, as if the place had been deliberately forgotten, and there were only a few people who took care of the sleeping daimyo on weekdays.

Whether it is the eldest son or the second son, they are all waiting... for the daimyo to die, and then they start competing for the position of the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Both forces may hope that Reiko Aoyama and Yakumo will die in the research room tonight, because they do not hope that the daimyo will wake up. Even the sons in the entire daimyo mansion hope that their fathers will die. This is really ironic and sad.

"What a great drama on earth."

Yakumo sighed and looked away.

"Are you hurt?" Reiko Aoyama asked worriedly.

"No, the enemy has been dealt with."

In fact, before Yakumo unleashed that fierce blow, the leader of the men in black was already dead, succumbing to the backlash of the banned drug.

Silence... a long silence, finally Yakumo broke the silence. He couldn't stand the weird atmosphere.

"Sister Qingshan, don't you have anything to ask?"

"What are you asking?" Aoyama Reiko glanced at Yakumo and continued to use palm sensu to treat the wound on her chest. A few hours ago she was seriously injured and dying, but now she became lively and vigorous again.

"For example, why am I so strong, what plans are hidden in Konoha, whether I am a spy from any ninja village...such questions."

Yakumo scratched his head and began to hypothesize the questions that Reiko Aoyama might ask.

"You have a clean life and have never left Konoha Village since you were a child, so we can rule out the possibility of being a spy. If you have any bad intentions towards Konoha, there should be no need to save me. The only thing you can't explain is your strength."

Aoyama Reiko analyzed it clearly. At this moment, Yakumo felt that her whole body was emitting the luster of wisdom.

"Oh~ right." Aoyama Reiko suddenly said a long voice, and then continued. "In your words...that's called ordinary strength...well, it is indeed very ordinary."

In fact, the most important thing is that Reiko Aoyama feels that when people are willing to expose everything to save themselves, then many things become no longer important.

Yakumo laughed shyly, and under the puzzled gaze of Reiko Aoyama, he began to run around the experimental equipment in the room, and finally the option to submit the task popped up half an hour later.

After paying 100 gold coins, Yakumo's height was reduced, and his fierce temperament dissipated. In a few seconds, he was like a peerless blade sheathed again, and he became the harmless medical ninja apprentice again.

"What an amazing disguise." Reiko Aoyama blinked and looked curiously up and down at Yakumo, as if looking for a flaw.

"It's going to be daybreak."

"That's right." Reiko Aoyama stood up and walked to the instrument, put the prepared antidote into a glass bottle and sealed it.

"When Tsunade-sama arrives, we can let her judge whether the antidote is useful." Reiko Aoyama put the glass bottle into her ninja bag and said.

Although Yakumo has not participated in the research and development of the antidote these days, he has also learned about the mode of action of the antidote from Reiko Aoyama. The function of this antidote is to stimulate the brain nerves to make them more active, and actively discharge the poison of the sleeping grass.

This is very unscientific, but it is very consistent with Chakra theory.

When the first rays of the sun shone on the courtyard, servants dressed in black entered the courtyard in an orderly manner carrying the stretcher holding the body.

They took out professional tools and began to clean up the mutilated corpses and the plasma that had solidified on the floor. They also very thoughtfully purified the air inside the research room.

"Come here." Reiko Aoyama waved to the leading servant in black.

"You can call me Morita. Sir, what are your orders?" Captain Morita came over immediately upon hearing the sound and said somewhat flatteringly.

"Who are you? Who else informed you to collect the body today?" This matter is far from over. If she died yesterday, everything would be over. Since she was not dead, she naturally wanted to take revenge on her enemies.

"We are a body collection team serving Daming Prefecture. Two days ago, someone sent the commission and the time and place of body collection to our department," Captain Morita replied.

"That's great..." Reiko Aoyama clenched her right fist. The enemy was so thoughtful. They not only planned their death date in advance, but even found the corpse collection team.

Aoyama Reiko took a few steps forward and put the body of the leader of the men in black into the storage scroll, then picked up the glass syringe from the ground with a knowing smile.

Yakumo watched Reiko Aoyama take out an identical glass syringe from her ninja bag, except that the one in Reiko Aoyama's hand was filled with blood-red medicine.

"Burning blood is a forbidden drug specially provided by ANBU, but it will only be rationed when performing S-class assassination missions."

"Those who tried to kill us yesterday were ANBU?"

Yakumo asked with an "unbelievable" surprised tone.

"No, they are the ANBU training department...aka the Roots."

"What are the roots?"

"A very terrifying violent organization. To a certain extent, they are even more feared because their leader is a villain who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals."

"At the root...Sister Qingshan, I think there should be someone above those men in black yesterday who is responsible for the planning and execution of the entire mission."

"Why?"

"A task like poisoning a daimyo cannot be done by just such an ordinary jounin. There must be someone stronger behind it!"

"Ah, hey, that ordinary jounin almost killed me yesterday... Do you want to say... that I am weak?" Reiko Aoyama asked, her eyes gradually becoming dangerous.

"How is it possible, Sister Qingshan...invincible in the world!"

Yakumo quickly said that he found that after experiencing life and death together, Aoyama Reiko's attitude towards him became more and more intimate, no longer cold, no longer had the aura of being distant from others, just like a normal sister next door.

But this is not normal.

Half an hour later,

"Tsunade-sama, here you go..."

Aoyama Reiko suddenly said.

Yakumo immediately turned his head.

At the entrance of the courtyard, Butler Takahashi, who had shown disdain for them, was looking full of flattery and flattery, just like a eunuch in the palace.

"Tsunade-sama." Reiko Aoyama greeted with a smile on her face.

"Tsunade-sama." Yakumo bowed in greeting with a tone of great surprise.

"Reiko... I'm very happy to see you intact..." Tsunade said with a hint, stepped forward and hugged Reiko Aoyama into her arms, and some beautiful things were squeezed out of shape from Yakumo's perspective.

.

"Are you hurt?" Tsunade immediately let go of her hand, her eyes gradually becoming sharp. When they hugged her just now, Tsunade could clearly feel the weakness of her friend in front of her.

"So what happened?"

Yakumo subconsciously took half a step back. Just based on the momentum that Tsunade burst out, it can be judged that... he can't beat him.
