"Things are getting interesting ..."
Kirito's soul clone thought with a grin, he had originally planned to get Yamanaka Yun killed, but he had changed his mind now.
Kirito didn't stay long, he was busy and had a lot of things to do, he reappeared invisible and went back underground into his White Zetsu Clone before maneuvering it to use Mayfly Technique to quickly leave.
Mayfly jutsu is an excellent movement jutsu, it not only allows the White Zetsu to move at high speeds through the earth, rocks, grass and trees without any hindrance, it also allows him to completely conceal all of his own aura and disguise himself as the earth, rocks, grass and trees.
In a matter of moments, the White Zetsu Clone crossed hundreds of kilometers, and a few more minutes passed before he arrived in the Land of Wave.
The Land of Wave, this was the farthest place Kirito had traveled to recently by relying on the White Zetsu Clone.
It was a very small island nation located near the eastern coast of the Land of Fire, and was currently a vassal state of the Land of Fire.
As the Land of Fire was currently at war with the Land of Water and the Land of Clouds, the domestic situation in the Land of Wave was still very stable, and with the backing of the Land of Fire and its own superior geography, this place had already become an important distribution center for materials from the Land of Fire, and was an important place for the export of the Land of Fire and for obtaining outside resources from outside.
However, because the Wave Country government does not have strong enough force to suppress the power of big merchants from various countries, coupled with the Fire Country government's deliberate negligence and a large number of noblemen's covert manipulation, this place has become a paradise for smuggling.
As a result, the Small Land of Wave is now home to a large number of merchants, ninjas, samurai, and the lower classes of the people who come here to make a living.
Here, all kinds of forces are mixed together, and the order is relatively chaotic.
But because of this, it was a good place to gather information, and merchants and ninjas from all over the world would bring information from many countries.
In this era of frequent wars, intelligence was a very important resource that could give countries an advantage in wars, allow merchants to find business opportunities to get rich, and similarly allow countless ninjas and samurai that were tracking bounties to find clues on wanted criminals.
The White Zetsu Clone eventually stopped at a large mansion close to the daimyo's residence before burrowing out from underneath the bedroom of the owner of the place.
In the next moment, his appearance changed, transforming into a teenage boy in a kimono.
The young boy was bright-eyed and handsome, with an air of nobility about him.
Gojo Makoto, this is the name of the teenager that the White Zetsu Clone transformed into with the Disguise Technique, a lowly ninja who doesn't even have the strength of a Genin.
Gojo true identity is a local noble in the Land of Wave, his ancestors are relatives with the daimyo of the Land of Fire, he was once a prestigious noble in the Land of Wave, but now he is just a fallen noble in the Land of Wave, so fallen that the main clan is only left with Gojo Makoto, not long ago, the original owner was secretly plotted and poisoned to death.
The culprit was Gojo Makoto's cousin, Gojiyama, who wanted to kill Gojo Makoto so that he could inherit Gojo Makoto's title and fortune.
After Gojo Makoto's death, Kirito perfectly transformed himself into Gojo Makoto by reading Gojo Makoto's soul with Spirit Transformation Technique, obtaining all of his memories, and then absorbing the chakra from Gojo Makoto's body through the White Zetsu Clone.
He helped Gojo Makoto to kill his cousin's whole family and a certain big businessman who was evil, which was a kind of revenge for Gojo Makoto's whole family.
According to Gojo Makoto's memory, the death of Gojo Makoto's family was secretly caused by Gojoyama's branch and the businessman.
After Kirito used the White Zetsu to inherit everything from Gojo Makoto and help him kill his enemies, as well as take over their property in the process, he began to use Gojo Makoto's identity to operate in the Wave Country.
After all, Gojo Makoto's ancestors were wealthy, and even though he's now down and out, many of his connections are still there, and with money and shells as well as a show of some force, he quickly gains a position as a military officer and becomes an unassuming city defense officer in the City Defense Headquarters, with about a hundred men under his command.
Relying on his outstanding strength and money, he easily controlled the group of cheap men under his hand.
With the power and the people, Kirito naturally began to collect protection money like his colleagues, mainly targeting various foreign merchants with little background, and began to recruit retainers from the outside world.
On the surface, he was recruiting retainers, but in reality, he was recruiting wandering ninjas and new samurai who knew how to fight with chakra.
With money and power, Kirito's recruitment went smoothly, and only a week had passed before he had recruited ten ninjas and twenty new samurai.
To Kirito, the strength of these ninjas and new samurai was not worth mentioning, there were only two of them with Genin strength, one ninja, one samurai, and the rest of them were at most ordinary people who could utilize chakra.
Kirito didn't mind about this, he had recruited these wandering ninja and new samurai for the purpose of just wanting them to help him gather information and protect some of his properties here in the Land of Wave, he hadn't yet expected them to go and fight against the various village ninjas.
"Come on man."
The White Zetsu Clone opened his mouth as he released the Shadow Clone he had placed here once he had completed his Disguise Jutsu.
In less than ten seconds, the door to the room was opened, and a beautiful young red-haired maid bowed respectfully as she entered, awaiting Kirito's orders.
"Ryoko, go get those two."
Kirito said to the red-haired maid in a pleasant manner.
Uzumaki Ryoko, that was the name of the red-haired attendant, who had been bought from some slave trader after Kirito had inherited Gojo Makoto's identity.
In the past, the famous Uzumaki clan fled to various countries after the country's collapse, and in the process, there were many tragedies.
For example, the Uzumaki clan, which belongs to the commoner class of Uzumaki Ryoko, was hunted down by wandering ninjas during their flight, and a large number of their clansmen were killed, with the remaining few captured, and ultimately reduced to being the goods of the merchant, and sold to all over the world.
Uzumaki Ryoko had been resold many times before she met Kirito.
In Kirito's eyes, Uzumaki Ryoko was a rare talent, although she was a bit older, already 15 years old, she was superior in that she had an eye for talent and a strong will to improve, and the chakra in her body was at the level of a Chunin without having undergone any ninja training.
Unsurprisingly, as long as he let Uzumaki Ryoko undergo ninja training for a while, he would be able to harvest a powerful subordinate here in the Land of Waves.
However, for the time being, he still needed to observe her for a while, so that she would settle down here, feel safe, no longer need to be afraid, and naturally develop a willingness to submit to him.
"Yes, Makoto-sama." .
Ryoko naturally knew exactly who those two were that Kirito was talking about, and immediately said respectfully before retreating.
Soon after, a young ninja and young samurai came to pay their respects to Kirito, the two were called Fuma Ichirou and Gofune, the former was a ninja of the Fuma clan, the latter was from the Land of Iron and claimed to be one of the many juniors of the famed samurai Mifune.
Both of them bowed respectfully to Kirito, giving him a look of awe.
Although their contact with Kirito was short, after a couple of exchanges, they had already deeply understood the gap between themselves and Kirito, and understood that the person in front of them could not possibly be Gojo Makoto himself.
However, by the time they understood this matter, they had already been planted by Kirito's curse mark without their awareness.
They now found themselves unable to reveal any news about Kirito to others, and once they tried to reveal news about Kirito, the curse mark on their bodies would immediately kick in, leaving them in agony.
But what made them happy was that after being planted with the spell marks, their originally stagnant strength actually began to soar.
The fact that Kirito could actually use such a miraculous curse seal technique naturally caused the two to be in awe of him.
