Because of the information brought by Darcy, Isshiki did not underestimate the Hikari Village. He asked Sugiyama Minato to go to the Hikari Village in person to investigate the news, and at the same time to see if Darcy, who was undercover, had betrayed him.
"He has wasted more than a year in a small ninja village. Even if he has no ulterior motives, he is really a waste." Sugiyama Minato flashed through the forest at an extremely fast speed and headed towards the Hikari Ninja Village.
Sugiyama Minato felt that Darcy's ability to do things was really inadequate. It was just a small ninja village. Even if the leader was powerful, he was at most at the level of the leaders of the five major ninja villages. How strong could he be? Could he be stronger than their Lord Jigen
There are also gaps among the cadres. Darcy is truly a disgrace to them.
The distance between the Frost Country and the Field Country is not far, and Sugiyama Minato traveled overnight, so he quickly entered the Field Country and arrived at the Light Village.
Sugiyama Minato did the same thing as he did before in the Sand Village and sneaked into the Hikari Village at night.
Sugiyama Minato observed the forehead protectors and clothing of the Hikari ninjas, used the transformation technique to transform himself into a Hikari ninja, and then began to observe the Hikari ninjas openly.
"This Hikari Ninja Village looks no different from other small ninja villages." Sugiyama Minato walked on the streets of Hikari Ninja Village, observing everything around him with his peripheral vision.
Soon Sugiyama Minato retracted his thoughts, and saw a tall light ninja walking towards him.
Compared to the ninja's tall stature, what is more attractive about him is his feet. Those are not the feet that a human should have. They are covered with thick, long black hair, and are very thick.
The upper body of a normal person matched with the lower body of a beast. A drop of cold sweat appeared on Sugiyama Minato's forehead. Could it be that the Hikari Ninja Village is actually a ninja village that openly carries out biological experiments
Because he found that the people around him didn't look surprised at the black-legged strong man, and their expressions were very normal. Instead, he looked like an ignorant bumpkin.
Sugiyama Minato suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, pretended nothing had happened and continued walking.
The more he walked, the more surprised he was. Not only were there strong men whose lower bodies resembled those of wild beasts, but there were also people whose arms had turned into claws of fierce beasts, and there were even people who had huge wings like big birds growing on their backs.
Sugiyama Minato felt that he might have underestimated the Light Ninja Village. The biological transformation technology alone was very simple.
If you want to transplant parts of a summoned beast, it is not as simple as chopping off your own body and then connecting the beast's parts.
When passing by a tavern, Sugiyama Minato stopped because he noticed that two light ninjas with blushing faces and shaking heads were arguing near the tavern, and one of them even replaced his arms with the limbs of a fierce beast.
Sugiyama Minato felt that this was an opportunity to observe the strength of the ninjas of the Hikari Village.
The light ninja with the sharp claws of a fierce beast took the lead and raised his claws that were emitting a cold light and hit the other light ninja with such great force that a whistling sound was heard.
The other light ninja simply crossed his arms and blocked in front of him.
"The combat awareness of the Hikari Ninja Village ninja is too poor. If they use their arms to block like this, their blood vessels will be cut by the sharp claws." Sugiyama Minato shook his head, as if he foresaw the scene of the Hikari Ninja's blood splattering everywhere.
Sizzle!
The scene of blood splattering that Sugiyama Minato had expected did not happen. The sharp claws only left a few scratches on the light ninja's arm.
Sugiyama Minato was stunned. He was sure that the Light Ninja didn't even use chakra just now, but just used his arms to resist.
On the surface, ninjas are made of flesh and blood and cannot resist those powerful ninjutsu or sharp weapons. In fact, this is not the case. If this were true, even a Genin would have a chance to kill the Kage. But the fact is that a thousand Genins would be killed like pigs in front of the Kage, if those Genins are not Konoha Genins. The reason lies in the use of chakra.
And the light ninja just now actually took the attack with his arm without even leaving a trace of blood. This surprised Sugiyama Minato. Is his body so strong
The next second he knew what was going on.
The light ninja who Sugiyama Minato thought had a very tough body laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, I spent a lot of money to get my arms newly installed. Each one is worth four million taels. How can it be scratched by an ordinary summoning beast like yours?"
Then the Light Ninja started to fight back. He swung his fist violently. Sugiyama Minato thought he was going to use physical skills, but the Light Ninja's arms suddenly rose up on both sides, and then a large number of weapons came out of his arms, instantly knocking the Claw Light Ninja to the ground.
"Can you block this punch of four million taels of power?" Guang Ren laughed proudly.
Sugiyama Minato: …
I thought those people who installed psychic beast parts were weird enough, but what the hell is this? This arm has already gone beyond the category of biological creatures.
"What, do you want to cause trouble too?" The victorious Hikari ninja sensed Sugiyama Minato's gaze and said to him with a ferocious look on his face.
Sugiyama Minato withdrew his gaze, turned around and continued walking forward.
Although he could kill this provocative Light Ninja instantly, Sugiyama Minato would not easily expose himself as he had just arrived.
"Have the ninjas of the Land of Rice always been so wild?" After touring the Hikari Ninja Village, Sugiyama Minato began to doubt his life.
He originally looked down on the Hikari Ninja Village, but when he found out about the various things the village had to offer, he felt like a country bumpkin.
Sugiyama Minato shook his head and began to contact Darcy using secret methods.
After contacting Darcy, the two agreed to meet at a secret location.
"Why did you go directly into the Light Ninja Village! You should have informed me in advance." Darcy said with a frown.
Sugiyama Minato had not expected Darcy to take the initiative. He hadn't even asked Darcy about the crime yet, but Darcy still dared to treat him like this.
"Boy, although we are all cadres, there are still gaps between cadres. I advise you to respect your predecessors." Sugiyama Moto said with a gloomy face.
The tasks assigned to them by Isshiki had a high degree of freedom, as long as the task was completed in the end. For example, to test the strength of the Kazekage, Isshiki's requirement was to test the strength of the Kazekage. As for how to test it, all things were arranged by Sugiyama Minato himself.
This time is no exception. Isshiki only wants to get the final result, which is the information about the Hikari Village and whether Darcy still remains loyal.
Sugiyama Minato felt that since they were going to test the waters, there was no point in notifying them in advance, and a surprise inspection would be more appropriate.
"Respect senior? What qualifications do you have for me to respect you? You entered the ninja village where I was lurking without consulting me." Darcy fought back without any fear, not afraid of Sugiyama Minato's threat at all.
Sugiyama Minato thought that he was young, inexperienced and lacked the strength, but Darcy felt that he was young and had more potential than Sugiyama Minato and the others, so he was not afraid at all.
“You kid…” Sugiyama Minato’s eyes flickered and his fists clenched, as if he would attack at any time.
"What? You still want to attack? If you want to die, then attack. The fight between you and me will definitely attract Yahiko. You have no idea how strong that guy is." Darcy said.
"How strong?" asked Sugiyama Minato.
He really didn't know how powerful Yahiko, the leader of the Hikari Ninja Village that Darcy mentioned, was.
Isshiki only told him part of the information, saying that the Light Ninja leader Yahiko was very powerful and that he should not reveal his identity easily.
"Enough to kill me instantly," Darcy said.
Sugiyama Minato was speechless and the atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
Although Sugiyama Minato felt that he was stronger than Darcy, he did not think that he was strong enough to kill Darcy instantly.
There are also gaps between cadres, but the gaps are not that exaggerated.
"I fought with Yahiko when I first entered the Light Ninja Village. He defeated me with just one move. He is really unfathomable." Darcy said.
"Not only the leader of the Hikari Ninja Village, but even the other two high-ranking officials of the Hikari Ninja Village are not simple ninjas. I don't have the confidence that I can definitely defeat them."
"That's why I have always emphasized to Lord Jigen that we must carry out the plan carefully and prudently. A small Light Ninja Village has such power. You can imagine how terrifying the five major ninja villages are." Darcy said earnestly.
"Actually, a year ago, I was also sent by Lord Jigen to test the ninja village. It was the Sand Village of the Five Great Ninja Villages. The mission was to attack the Kazekage." After a moment's silence, Sugiyama Minato spoke.
"You were able to come back alive because the Sand Village is the weakest of the five major ninja villages?" Darcy felt that Sugiyama was really lucky. If he were to attack Yahiko, he would definitely be dead.
"No, I almost killed the Fourth Kazekage, and then left easily." Sugiyama Minato said dimly, staring into Darcy's eyes.
Dulcie:
Darcy was confused. He looked at Sugiyama Minato seriously and finally confirmed that Sugiyama Minato was not lying. It was impossible for Sugiyama Minato to come all the way here just to lie to him. When he reports the information later, he can verify it by asking Lord Jigen.
"How did you do it?" Darcy couldn't help asking.
"Sneak in, collect information on the Kazekage's movements, and then raid at night," Sugiyama Minato replied.
"That's it?" Darcy looked at Sugiyama Minato with suspicion.
"What else?" Sugiyama Minato asked back.
"Has your strength made a great breakthrough after I left?" Darcy asked again.
"It's a small improvement, but it can't be called a major breakthrough," said Sugiyama Minato.
"This shouldn't be possible. After all, one of the five major ninja villages. How could it be so weak?" Darcy murmured, feeling that it was a little unrealistic.
Sugiyama Minato is stronger than him, but his strength is limited. Not to mention killing him instantly, Sugiyama Minato cannot defeat him within fifty moves.
Therefore, Sugiyama Minato is no match for Yahiko. He may be able to hold out a few more times than him, but it is impossible for him to win.
But Sugiyama Minato said that he almost killed the Kazekage, which made Darcy a little confused about the situation.
Isn't it said that the five major ninja villages are far stronger than the smaller ninja villages? Why is it that when it comes to your Sand Village, it's so weak
"Is there a possibility that the strength of the Light Ninja Village is not right, far exceeding his status as a small ninja village?" Sugiyama Minato said.
Darcy's face froze. If this was true, he was too unlucky. There were so many small ninja villages in the ninja world, but this was the first time he was sent to this problematic small ninja village.
"It is also possible that there is a problem with the Sand Village. Hasn't Lord Jigen ever tried other major ninja villages? One Sand Village cannot explain the problem." Darcy said after thinking for a while.
What Darcy didn't expect was that this time Sugiyama Minato didn't go against him. Instead, he nodded and said, "We can't rule out this possibility, because Kinoshita Tsukasa disappeared when he was on a mission to test Konoha, and later Konoha sent a large number of ninjas to search for the organization in River Country."
Because of Konoha's large-scale search in River Country, Isshiki realized that those natives were not fools, so he implemented a prudent plan afterwards and did not send anyone to test the Great Ninja Village again.
"Is that old guy dead?" Darcy was a little surprised.
If the three major cadres were to be ranked, then there is no doubt that Darcy would be at the end, while Kinoshita Tsukasa would be the undisputed first and the strongest cadre.
"He died a year ago." Sugiyama Minato said indifferently.
Darcy didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although he would contact Yishiki while undercover, those were all unilateral reports from him. Yishiki would not report any intelligence to him, so Darcy didn't know about the changes in the organization over the years, and didn't even know that a cadre had died.
"You have joined the Light Ninja Village for a year. What have you gained?" asked Sugiyama Minato.
"As far as the infiltration mission is concerned, I have completed Lord Jigen's goal, and I am now one of the three top leaders of the Hikari Ninja Village." Darcy said with a proud look on his face.
After all, Isshiki's original intention of sending him was to control the Light Village and find a qualified body for Isshiki to conduct experiments. Although he did not become the leader, it was because Yahiko was too strong and he could not be defeated at all.
"Oh, then why haven't I heard that you provided many qualified experimental subjects to Lord Jigen?" Sugiyama Minato raised his eyebrows and said.
Darcy opened her mouth, then sighed and said, "I don't know why. Although I have become a high-ranking official in the Hikari Ninja Village, Yahiko still seems to be worried about me. I can often feel his gaze. Maybe because I am not from the Land Country, he is not completely confident in me."
After chatting for a while, Sugiyama Minato could basically confirm that Darcy should not have rebelled, although he had not achieved any results in more than a year.
Not a traitor, but a real loser.
But the steady Sugiyama Minato still observed Darcy for a few days while investigating the Hikari Village, and after confirming that there was no problem, he prepared to leave.
After integrating the collected information, Sugiyama Minato discovered that the Light Village was much more outrageous than the Frost Village. It was like an upgraded version of the Frost Village and did not look like an ordinary small ninja village at all.
Sugiyama Minato concluded that there was some connection between these two small ninja villages because they were so similar. The current situation of the Frost Village was almost like a branch of the Light Village.
But just as Sugiyama Minato was hurrying back to the Frost Village, he found a man with orange hair, wearing a black coat with red clouds, standing in the middle of the road.
Sugiyama Minato narrowed his eyes and quickly recognized that this was Yahiko, the leader of the Hikari Ninja Village who was so powerful as Darcy had mentioned.
Sugiyama Minato decisively turned around and changed direction without reporting his intelligence.
But how could Nagato let Sugiyama Minato leave so easily? Nagato slowly stretched out his hand.
"All things are attracted by the sky!"
