After dealing with the minister's affairs, Musashi went back and found Biwa Juzo who was still pretending to be the minister.
Then the two of them left the minister's house together and went to the residence of their other target, the general.
In fact, according to the commission, the two should have completed the task and can leave. The general's people will make up the remaining money.
Even if he is a general and hires ninjas to kill people, he must abide by the rules and dare not not pay, otherwise he will offend a large number of ninja organizations.
However, Akatsuki's goal is not just for the money. Their main goal is to reach a cooperative relationship with the general and monopolize the war commissions in the Land of Rice.
At this time, the general was enjoying a sumptuous dinner.
A huge round table was filled with dozens of hot dishes that emitted wisps of white smoke and tempting aroma.
It was impossible for the general to finish so many dishes, so he only took two bites of each dish. If the dish was particularly delicious, he might eat four or five bites.
Moreover, the general would never eat the first bite of a dish. He would wait for others to test whether it was poisonous before he would act quickly.
He is a cautious person. Although he holds a high position and has power over the military of Tian Kingdom, he never slacks off and never leaves any loopholes for others.
As long as there is a hint of danger, the general will try his best to eliminate it.
The minister actually dared to touch his military power, which was what the general could not tolerate the most.
So the general used his ultimate move and hired ninjas to kill the minister, leaving the other party no chance.
"Oh, you really know how to enjoy yourself."
Just when the general was thinking that the hired ninja should have arrived in the Land of Rice and he would soon receive the good news that the minister had died tragically on the street, a sneer that the general had never heard of sounded.
The general looked up and saw two strangely dressed men appearing opposite him.
One of them held a huge blade and had a cross scar on his face. The other one had two sharp blades hanging on his waist and had a pair of extremely sharp eyes.
Swish!
Several warriors in the room instantly drew their swords, moved to the general's side, and looked at the two people who suddenly appeared cautiously.
"Who are you?" The general frowned, but was not too panicked. He asked loudly.
His side is heavily guarded, with experts patrolling nearby.
The fact that the two of them were able to come to this room silently under such circumstances, and even sat down opposite him before he noticed them, shows that they are very extraordinary.
So the general deliberately asked loudly so that people outside would hear the noise and come in quickly to protect him.
Sure enough, after the general finished speaking, the warriors outside heard the noise, quickly entered the room, and surrounded Biwa Juzo and Musashi.
Surrounded by numerous samurai, the two men were not nervous at all, and Musashi even took a bite of the food on the table.
"Who are you? Who sent you? What is your purpose?" The general continued to ask, hiding among the many warriors, and at the same time, using the cover of the warriors' bodies, he quietly walked outside.
Biwa Juzang smiled bloodily, holding the beheading sword and knocking away the nearby samurai, then smiled the biggest smile and said:
"General, why are you so scared? We are here to bring you good news."
The general paused. Good news
With such skills and coming to bring him good news, could he be a high-level ninja hired by him to kill the minister
But how would the ninja know that he hired them? He did send his men there.
Biwa Juzo and Musashi released their aura at the same time. Biwa Juzo's murderous intent seemed to be materialized, and some warriors were so scared that they couldn't even hold their swords steadily, and some even dropped them to the ground.
Musashi's sharp aura like a sword made many warriors feel uneasy and uneasy.
Seeing that the two men had not made a move yet and that the warriors on his side were almost exhausted, the general stopped, because he knew that it was useless to try to escape.
Although there was a strong man he had recruited before nearby, even that strong man could not achieve this just by relying on his momentum.
"Everyone, get out. I want to talk to these two about something." The general ordered his warriors.
The warriors looked at each other and finally walked out.
Although I don't know why the general suddenly has to face two dangerous invaders alone, since he is the general, he should obey.
"I guess you two are the ninjas who accepted the commission," asked the general.
There was a strange look in Biwa Juzang's eyes. He originally wanted to scare the general, but he didn't expect that he was guessed.
"Yes, you will get the news that the minister has disappeared for no reason tomorrow." Musashi nodded.
"Are you two here to collect the remaining commission money? I'll have someone prepare it right away." The general said quickly.
"Please wait here for a moment."
"There's no rush for the commission money. I came here to tell you something else." Biwa Juzang said calmly.
The general nodded to show that he understood.
He knew that Musashi and his companions must have other motives for coming here, otherwise why would they come to him, their client, for no reason.
However, the two men didn't use any heavy hands just now, so they shouldn't be causing trouble for him. Maybe this is a good thing.
"Then I'll be frank. Our organization is going to monopolize the war commissions in the Land of Rice. From now on, the wars in your Land of Rice will be left to our Akatsuki organization." Biwa Juzo said.
The general's originally relaxed brows frowned again.
Will the future war commissions be entrusted to only this organization? They must be ambitious.
"This matter is too important. Let me think about it for two days." The general said after thinking for a while.
boom!
Biwa Juzang swung his sword, and the wooden floor of the room shattered instantly, leaving a crescent-shaped cut.
"We are not here to discuss with you, we are here to inform you." Biwa Juzang raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.
"General, you don't want the news of your commission to kill the minister to spread throughout the Land of Rice." Musashi said indifferently.
"Besides, I believe you will be very interested in this cooperation."
Musashi stated the conditions of Akatsuki.
After hearing this, the general looked surprised.
It is equivalent to half the price of other ninja villages and ninja organizations to resolve the war for them.
Is there such a good thing
The general didn't expect that there would be such a thing as pie falling from the sky, and someone actually came to his door to offer benefits.
The general readily agreed to the request for cooperation, saying that this small matter was no problem and that all future war commissions in Tian Kingdom would be handed over to the Akatsuki organization.
Of course, the general also knew that Akatsuki must have other plans, but he just didn't know it.
It's impossible for a ninja organization with such powerful members to simply want to do charity.
However, the general did not care much. It did not matter what happened to Tian Zhiguo as long as his interests were not harmed.
By cooperating with Akatsuki, he will be able to make more money in the future.
At the same time, he can also more conveniently use the power of Akatsuki to eliminate those who are dangerous to him.
After agreeing on the cooperation, Musashi and Biwa Juzo left.
They were not worried that the general would go back on his word because they were the leaders and had absolute power. If the general went back on his word, they would just kill him.
… … … … … …
For the students of Ninja School in recent years, there are new changes in Ninja School every year.
First of all, the emergence of students with medical specialties provides all students with an additional choice.
Then the special warfare class directly recruits graduates from the ninja school, giving them another option besides becoming a Genin directly and being assigned to a ninja class.
This year's changes are even greater, with an extra level added.
The existing students have been relegated to the primary school stage, with an additional middle school above it.
Moreover, “primary school” was shortened from six years to four years.
Of course, students have only been notified now, and the specific changes will not be implemented until the end of this semester or the next semester.
This class of graduates will be the last to graduate from the six-year ninja school.
Most students actually don't care too much about the news.
Because "middle school" only lasts for three years, that is to say, elementary school plus middle school is only one year longer than the original ninja school, so the change is not that big.
Of course, it’s not that no one cares about this. Huayang cares about this a lot.
"So now it means I have to study for another five years before I can graduate." Hua Yang fell into deep thought.
She is a sophomore this year and will be a junior next semester. She thought she had almost completed half of the journey, but suddenly she had another year to go.
"Do I have to graduate early?" Huayang couldn't help but think.
Although her strength is not as good as that of Kabuto, with her diligent training, Hanayo feels that she has the ability to pass the early graduation assessment as a third-year student.
The problem is that her family doesn't agree.
She had tried to bring it up once before.
However, her mother said no, saying that at her age she should fully experience student life in the Ninja School and leave behind good memories.
Although Dou was not her only friend, Hanayo always felt like something was missing without Dou, and she would even become lazy during her normal training.
"Five years... By the time I graduate, Kabuto won't have become a jonin." Hanayo held his forehead helplessly.
If that's the case, how can they team up to complete missions, with one jonin and one genin
At the same time, Nagase, who was working in the medical department, was unaware that a girl with white eyes was worried about the long time until graduation.
"Come to think of it, you're quite incompetent as a consultant. You barely come to work a few times a month." Tsunade crossed her arms and said to Nagase with some dissatisfaction.
"Sorry, I'm too busy. Besides, my position doesn't require me to come here every day," Nagaze complained.
"Who said that? I'm the director of the medical department, how come I don't know about this?" Tsunade put her hands down and put them on her hips. Because of her body shaking, her majestic peaks shook.
Yongze, who was attracted by this miracle of nature, quickly withdrew his gaze. This was not a good thing to watch, it would kill people.
Although this one is big, I can't touch it. I can just go back and find Nono. Only things that can be held in the hand are really good.
"The Hokage has stipulated that if you have any problems, go find Minato and the Sandaime." Nagase lied.
The two chatted for a while before Nagase tried to get the topic back on track.
"How are the students' training going?" Yongze asked.
It is impossible to have too many medical ninjas go to school to teach students. Konoha does not have this condition now, so students with medical specialties have to come to the medical department for special training for two months every year.
The special training content is different for each grade.
Lower grades usually focus on cram school for theoretical knowledge, while higher grades may focus on chakra control or practical treatment.
"You'll know if you come and take a look." Tsunade took Nagase to the outside of the medical department.
Nagaze was still wondering why they were training outside the medical department, but it turned out that they were all practicing activities like climbing trees and treading water to exercise their chakra control.
"They are all students who are about to graduate. Apart from basic healing techniques, they usually practice chakra control," Tsunade introduced.
They did not approach the students, but observed from thirty meters away.
"However, the training plan for next year needs to be adjusted." Tsunade said suddenly.
"Why? Was it because last year's results were not ideal?" Nagaze asked puzzledly.
Because there were so many things to do, he didn't have time to pay close attention to the medical department's affairs.
Although the initial medical department was established by him and Tsunade together.
Tsunade gave Nagase a beautiful eye roll and explained, "It's because of your ninja school reform, which divided the current ninja school into elementary and middle schools. The change is so big all of a sudden, the training plan for special students must also be revised accordingly."
Yongze scratched his hair a little embarrassedly, as if it was indeed the case.
Not only the special training plan of the medical department, but also the special operations class needs to be modified to increase the difficulty of the assessment.
According to his reforms, future graduates of ninja schools, even middle school graduates, will be much better than before and will definitely not be held to the old standards.
"Hehe, it's all for a better Konoha. However, Lady Tsunade, you have worked hard. I will treat you to a meal later to reward you." Nagase said with a smile.
"Eat? That's great. I happen to be craving for barbecue recently. So please treat me to a barbecue meal." Tsunade nodded.
She was just complaining, of course she wasn't really blaming Nagaze.
Moreover, if you don’t eat it, it will be a waste. You must eat Nagaze’s food.
Tsunade has not forgotten the feeling of being hit by Nagase's fist.
If you can't beat me, then I will turn my grief and anger into appetite and eat you into poverty.
After finishing her work, Tsunade called Shizune, who was still processing documents, down to eat together.
One more person means one more strength. It is Tsunade's responsibility to bankrupt Nagasawa.
Yongze doesn't mind if there is one more person. It's an invitation whether it's one or two.
For him now, it is no longer important for him to be rich. What he wants is for Konoha to be rich.
Nagase ordered a bunch of grilled meat and wanted to order some wine, but Tsunade refused.
Having experienced a painful lesson, Tsunade didn't want to drink with Nagase at all. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble
While eating, Nagase also mentioned other aspects of his education reform, such as university affairs.
Perhaps because she was grateful for the favor, although Tsunade liked to talk back to Nagazawa, this time she unexpectedly agreed directly and said that she would be responsible for the medical matters.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lady Tsunade." Having solved a major problem, Nagase was in a very good mood.
"I just hope that you can call me 'Lady Tsunade' every time, instead of calling me 'Lady Tsunade when there is something wrong' and 'Tsunade when there is nothing wrong'." Tsunade swallowed the barbecue and looked at Nagase with a resentful look.
Yongze looked up at the sky. The ceiling decoration of this barbecue restaurant was quite tasteful.
