It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or if he wanted to send him away, but after Mikawa Team was dismissed, Aoba received a mission personally issued by the Hokage himself.
The target was near the Edelweiss Gold Mountain. The reason for the mission was that there was a team of Konoha ninjas in that area on a mission, and then they completely lost contact. They needed to send people to investigate and even directly rescue them.
Generally, this kind of troublesome mission was team cooperation, so Aoba tried to ask if he could carry out the mission with Itachi, but was rejected by Sarutobi with "Itachi has other missions".
This also allowed him to guess that Sarutobi still wanted to rope Itachi into his side.
Aoba couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Did he think that this would make Itachi change his attitude?
He was really thinking too much!
Aoba simply accepted the mission and left the village.
The location was very close to Iwagakure, so they could meet up with Akatsuki on the way and complete the mission of the alternate account.
It saved him the trouble of finding other excuses.
As for the plan that he and Itachi plotted together, the early preparation work still needed some time, and he also needed to persuade Shisui.
He believed that when he came back, he should be almost ready.
At that time, maybe Konoha would change the sky because of them!
......
Edelweiss Gold Mountain was the location of a small number of villages.
The people here were hardworking and were not afraid of hardship, but relatively, due to lack of communication with the outside world, they were filled with a large amount of ignorance, stubbornness, superstition, and other thoughts.
Until one day, the forceful intervention of Kurosuki Clan caused the entire village to change, and Kurosuki Clan loved to punish the ignorant villagers in the way of the dead.
For a time, the entire village was in a state of panic, and everyone lived in fear.
However, a few months ago, a few villagers who went out to sell ores accidentally encountered a ninja from Konoha. With the support of courage, several villagers explained the situation and hoped that ninja could help them eradicate Kurosuki Clan.
For this reason, they were willing to give up all the money in the village in exchange for the help of ninja.
These Konoha Ninjas accepted this temporary task with righteous indignation, and then decided to help the kind villagers drive away the black spadefamily.
But when they attacked with confidence, the cruel reality gave them a vivid social lesson.
Never underestimate your enemies!
And..
Don't meddle in other people's business without good strength!
When these few people who were found by the villagers and Konoha Ninjas were all buried alive, the fear of Kurosuki Clan had gone deep into everyone's heart. All the villagers did not dare to resist and chose to live humbly.
It was under such circumstances that Shinomiya Aoba, the ninja, came here alone.
"Ninja... There is ninja"
"Not good, Konoha's ninja is coming again!"
"Quickly inform the people from the Black spades!"
After seeing this situation, Aoba was somewhat surprised. However, he also knew that he had finally found the right place.
"It seems that those missing people have indeed been here before."
Aoba muttered to himself as he casually grabbed a villager who was fleeing in a sorry state.
"How do you know that I am Konoha's ninja? Also, did Konoha's ninja come before?"
"I don't know. I don't know anything. Let me go!"
"Tell me honestly. Otherwise, even if your god comes, I will send you to meet the King of Hell first."
The villager who was so scared that he almost peed his pants immediately pointed at the forehead guard on Aoba's head with a frightened face. "Previously, when Konoha came here, They were the only people who had this thing on his head. It was exactly the same."
"Very good. Now tell me, what was the reason for Konoha Ninja to come here? Where is he now?"
"Dead. Dead! They were all killed by the leader of the Kurosuki Clan! It has nothing to do with us. It really has nothing to do with us! They were the ones who took the initiative to come here. You should run as well. You are no match for them alone!"
Seeing that this guy seemed to be frightened and kept repeating these words, Aoba had to let him go first and continue to walk inside.
Since he had found the right place, he naturally had to complete the mission as soon as possible.
Scared?
It didn't exist!
What kind of big shot was this guy hiding in the mountains?
Then, a group of fierce, evil fellows, who were obviously not good people, blocked his way.
"This time, it really has nothing to do with us. This Konoha Ninja was found by himself."
"It must be Konoha who sent people to retaliate. What should we do?"
The villagers who went to report the news were anxiously chattering away, and at the same time, they cut themselves off.
"Shut up! If you make another noise, I will send you to your grave first!"
The young man in the lead threatened the villager fiercely.
"So what if Konoha is a ninja? The other party is only one person! Last time, the four trash were easily sent to their graves by Raiga-sama!"
"Don't be afraid. If we capture this guy alive, Raiga-sama will be happy!"
"Yes, what is Konoha? There is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Get rid of him!"
Aoba was speechless. It was said that the poor mountains and rivers were full of wicked people, but they should not be so ignorant, right?
Even the other big Ninja Villages did not dare to say such arrogant words like 'Konoha is nothing'. How dare you, these rotten fish and shrimp, who are not even considered as something, be so arrogant?
He was really more and more curious about who the 'Raiga-sama' these people were talking about was, to actually not even put Konoha in their eyes.
However, since that 'Raiga-sama' still has no intention of showing himself, then let's clean up these small fries first so as to avoid being an eyesore.
While thinking about this, Aoba lit up a cigar and took out the [Gatling Gun].
In terms of the pleasure of cutting grass, it was obviously more convenient to use this thing.
The people in front of them clearly did not realize the seriousness of the problem. When Aoba pointed the gun barrel at them, they seemed to be wondering how he pulled out such a thick and long thing.
Then, Aoba pressed the button to start the 'cutting grass'.
Swish.!!
In an instant, countless Shuriken sprayed towards the dense crowd!
The distance between the two sides was less than ten meters. At this distance, [Gatling Gun], could display the greatest lethality.
Moreover, these little minions were really the ones who could endure the most, and it was impossible for them to avoid Shuriken's storm that was coming at them from this distance.
Therefore, all kinds of terrifying screams constantly sounded at the same time.
Those who were lucky were directly hit in the vital points and died on the spot.
Those who were unlucky were directly pricked into hedgehogs, and only after suffering all the pain did they swallow with a frightened face.
