The eyes of the merchant leader stared at Biwa Juzo in front of him. To be precise, it was Kubikiribocho in Biwa Juzo's hand. He did not dare to be rash at all, and his heart was extremely nervous.
He quickly looked at the notebook in his hand. He then carefully looked at each and every word on it.
Now, this merchant leader felt extremely fortunate. Fortunately, he had the habit of keeping a record.
After all, many things would be forgotten if he was not careful. If he recalls it later, he did not know what would happen if he forgot something.
"The first point is..."
The merchant leader frowned slightly. After carefully looking at the information again, he said seriously.
"Satsuma Rentaro said that Konohagakure already knows that Kirigakure attacked Kumogakure, but Kumogakure has not yet known about this matter..."
"Kirigakure... Hmm..."
"Did we really attack Kumogakure?"
The merchant leader couldn't help but ask. When he heard what Satsuma Rentaro word in Konohagakure, he had a lot of questions in his heart.
When did Kirigakure attack Kumogakure?
Why did this sound like a lie?
But, at this time, he did not dare not to report these things to the seven people in front of him. He could only tell the truth and did not dare to make any changes. He could only believe that the person who gave him the news was the real Satsuma Rentaro so that he had a chance to live.
Right now, he was very clear.
If what he got was fake information. Then what awaited him was that sharp Kubikiribocho.
"Konohagakure actually knows!"
Biwa Juzo suddenly opened his eyes wide. When he heard this sentence, he had already confirmed that what this merchant leader said was not a lie. This person had indeed met Satsuma Rentaro.
Moreover, Satsuma Rentaro did know some information because the people who attacked Kumogakure's outpost were the seven of them.
Although they did not kill all the ninjas in the outpost, they later waited on the path to the Country of Lightning from the Country of Fire. They only blocked Brei and did not see any other Kumogakure ninjas.
From the looks of it, those ninjas did something to Konohagakure.
Biwa Juzo looked at the other Seven Ninja Swordsman and exchanged glances with each of them. He could see the same look in each other's eyes as he had thought.
At this time, everyone believed that the merchant leader had really met Satsuma Rentaro, and the person they had met was the real Satsuma Rentaro.
In fact, none of them knew.
The real Satsuma Rentaro had died a long time ago.
The Satsuma Rentaro they saw from the beginning was no longer the real Satsuma Rentaro but the role that Aoba played.
"What else did he say?" Biwa Juzo asked tensely. Just this point alone had given him a definite confirmation in his heart, allowing him to believe these things.
"Satsuma Rentaro said that you have to make a choice as soon as possible. Either you have to control Konohagakure to prevent someone from passing the information to Kumogakure, or you have to take precautions against Kumogakure. You have to attack Kumogakure before Kumogakure makes a move against Kirigakure." The merchant leader said seriously.
"Did Satsuma Rentaro say all of this?" Biwa Juzo asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, he said all of this. I only conveyed it over and did not add anything of my personal statement." The merchant leader immediately nodded his head violently. Even now, his heart was still filled with fear.
"I understand. Go on, what other information do you have?" Biwa Juzo nodded. He would really take Rentaro's advice as a reference.
This would also require him to report the information to Mizukage before making a decision.
"En... Satsuma Rentaro also said that there was a problem with Kumogakure. Kumogakure Advisor and Gasshi were planning to kill Hari, and Brei wanted to save Hari. In the end, both sides had a conflict. Brei killed Kumogakure Advisor, and now both Gasshi and Brei are missing."
The merchant leader read the contents of his notebook to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Among them were the names of Gasshi and Brei. He also read it several times seriously and was sure that he was right.
It had to be said.
Kumogakure ninja's name was too hard to say. It was all names that made him feel very strange.
As he finished this sentence. Biwa Juzo nodded again.
"This is a very high-quality piece of information!"
Biwa Juzo's face turned extremely serious. Now he knows a lot of content but could not tell the merchant leader.
Whether these people could keep their mouths or not, none of them could be sure.
However, even if none of them spoke. The seven of them all knew about this matter tacitly.
Brei had already been killed by them.
No wonder they didn't see any other Kumogakure ninjas. It turned out that they were all killed by Brei.
"I really didn't expect that even Kumogakure had internal strife. I don't understand why Gasshi wanted to kill Hari. Wasn't he going to save Hari before? Did Rentaro explain the specific reason?" Biwa Juzo stared at the merchant leader and asked.
"I'm not sure."
The merchant leader immediately shook his head. He really didn't know about this matter, so he didn't dare to speculate carelessly.
Now, he finally managed to convince the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to believe what he said. Then all he needed to do was to say what Rentaro said to him.
There was no need to add anything else.
"Did Rentaro give you any suggestions?" Biwa Juzo asked again.
"I think he did..." The merchant leader immediately looked at the notebook. His eyes finally fixed on a piece of information and said, "Rentaro said that we can use this information to make Kumogakure crack from the inside."
"Erm..."
After hearing this, Biwa Juzo felt that he seemed to understand, but he also did not seem to understand completely. He was in a state of half-understanding.
However, he remembered all of this in his mind.
"Wait!"
When Biwa Juzo thought of this, he suddenly realized something. Even if he had confidence in himself in these details, there was still a possibility of forgetting them. He still could not trust his memories too much.
After all, the information that Satsuma Rentaro said was not just a little bit, but several. Moreover, they were equipped with corresponding solutions. If he forgot something, it was very likely to waste Rentaro's painstaking efforts.
"Can I take your notebook with me later?" Biwa Juzo inserted Kubikiribocho into the ground and pointed to the notebook in the merchant leader's hand.
"Yes, yes, I can give it to you!" How could the merchant leader dare to say no? A notebook was not important to him at all, especially when compared to his life.
As he said that, he directly handed the notebook in his hand to Biwa Juzo and planned to give it to him now.
"Okay."
Biwa Juzo took the book without hesitation. His eyes looked at the notebook, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Are these words?"
Biwa Juzo directly asks. In his opinion, there was no difference between these things and children's doodles; there was nothing to read at all.
"Yes... yes..."
The corner of the merchant leader's mouth twitched slightly. He felt that he had been offended, but he did not dare to argue with Biwa Juzo for fear of causing Biwa Juzo to be angry.
"I'll return the book to you. Later, you will go with us to see Mizukage-sama. But before that, you still need to tell us the remaining two pieces of information first." Biwa Juzo directly threw the notebook back to the merchant leader. He could not read this notebook at all, and it was useless to hold it.
"Ah?!"
The merchant leader was full of black lines. He suddenly felt that the road ahead was full of thorns, and it became even more difficult.
If he had known earlier, he should have properly practiced calligraphy. He never thought that he would be taken away in this way at this time.
This was too difficult!
The merchant leader suddenly felt that he had forgotten his words during this period of time. It could be said that he was unlucky no matter what he did.
"Actually, I don't understand what Rentaro said next at all. Even now, I still don't understand it very well. I'm very confused."
The merchant leader looked at his record in this notebook. He had completely recorded it according to what Satsuma Rentaro had said, but the content made him feel puzzled.
He knew all the words, but it was something that could not be understood when it was formed together.
At this time, he had been staring at the words in the notebook.
There were a lot of question marks in his head. Even when he repeated these words in his head, he didn't know where to start.
"Tell me about it."
Biwa Juzo nodded at the merchant leader. He saw the expression on the latter's face and understood what the other party meant. In the past, he had similar experiences. When he heard Satsuma Rentaro talk about these related things, he would feel confused.
"Satsuma Rentaro said..."
The merchant leader frowned as he stared at his notebook. Even though he had already recorded Satsuma Rentaro's words, he still felt that there was something wrong with the words in the notebook.
"Gasshi ambushed Sunagakure Third Kazekage."
"All forces will target Kumogakure."
"Then let us join forces to deal with Kumogakure?"
"That seems to be it..."
The merchant leader was in a daze and did not know how to describe this matter.
"You can say this to Mizukage-sama again later. Didn't you say there was a fourth one? What is it?" When Biwa Juzo heard about the situation in the Ninja World, his mind became even more confused. He directly waved his hand and chose not to listen. After he knew that Satsuma Rentaro was still alive, the big stone in his heart directly fell.
"I remember the last one very clearly. At that time, Satsuma Rentaro's expression was very serious. He said that it was reliable news. Hari was not dead!" The merchant leader said.
"What happened to Hari?"
A big question mark appeared on Biwa Juzo's head. He now had the feeling of chatting with Satsuma Rentaro at that time, and he began not to understand it.
"I don't know either!" The merchant leader shook his head because he had no idea who Hari was.
"Alright, come with me and report everything to Mizukage-sama!"
Biwa Juzo picked up Kubikiribocho and put it behind his back.
It was just this one move. It instantly caused the merchant leader to break out in cold sweat.
"Yes... yes..."
The merchant leader nodded mechanically. He was truly afraid. At this point, he did not want to lose his life just because of a tiny mistake.
The next moment, the merchant leader was taken away by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. They walked directly in the direction of Kirigakure.
Biwa Juzo originally thought that this merchant group did not bring anything back but escaped before the battle and did not think that they could get the information.
Now that he found out about Satsuma Rentaro, he suddenly felt that everything came too suddenly. It was completely beyond his imagination and beyond the imagination of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
However, Biwa Juzo still decided to listen to what the information was first.
After all, if there was any bad information or some information that should not be said, he could stop him and not report it to the Mizukage.
Now it was confirmed that there was no problem. He decided to bring this merchant leader to report to the Mizukage.
...
On the other side.
The northeast of the Country of Fire.
One voice after another quickly passed through the Country of Fire. These people's attention was all focused on the front, and their speed was very fast.
If they moved forward at their speed and there were no accidents. They could reach Konohagakure before dawn.
All of them had dark skin and were wearing ninja clothing. They were all Kumogakure ninjas. At the front of the troops was a buff shirtless man.
It was Kumogakure Third Raikage Ay.
As Raikage, he was indeed a straightforward man. He could not understand so many strategies and conspiracies, nor could he figure out the situation and traps that were so clear.
But...
If he was just a ninja who could charge and break through the enemy lines. Ay had such enough strength!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
With the rapid charge of these Kumogakure ninja troops, they were getting closer and closer to Konohagakure.
Only...
Konohagakure did not get any information at all.
All the scouts outside who were observing the situation were killed as soon as they found the Kumogakure ninja troops.
No news was successfully sent back to Konohagakure. It could be said that they launched a quick sneak attack with a thunderous momentum.
This was also Third Raikage Ay's custom-made strategy. There weren't that many fancy things, and it was just a simple and crude direct push.
No matter who his opponent was or how many people there were, it was fine to just directly punch them!
Gradually.
Time passed by.
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The Country of Fire was still shrouded in the middle of the night, and it was already the latter half of the night.
The Kumogakure ninja troops had already arrived not far from Konohagakure. At this moment, the ninja troops all stopped. Everyone looked at the Third Raikage Ay.
One of the Kumogakure ninjas, who could be considered to have a decent status, was the Kumogakure ninja, who listened to the arrangement of the Third Raikage Ay in Raikage's office that day. He immediately walked to Ay.
"Raikage-sama, Konohagakure is in front of us. What should we do now?" This Kumogakure ninja asked.
"Rest for half an hour, recover your energy, and then..."
Ay's voice slowly sounded, and his low voice revealed a decisive meaning.
"Follow me to attack Konohagakure!"
