Instead, he refocused his attention on the four people before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they were just four insignificant figures, thanks to his advantage of \"foresight,\" he had already pieced together the truth of the situation in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, should I go even deeper?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought surfaced in Seimei's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly made up his mind—yes, he would go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just confidence in his own deductions; at the end of the day, they were still just guesses. To truly confirm them, he needed to investigate further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, if he wanted to execute his plan, he had to infiltrate Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, leaving now simply wasn't an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Next Target\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was anyone in Kirigakure who would be the first to come into contact with the revived Sanbi (Three-Tails), it had to be the Anbu ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the most trusted subordinates of Yagura Karatachi, they were the ones most likely to be assigned the task of searching for the Three-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, they were also the ones most likely to know why Kirigakure had enforced a complete lockdown of its borders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made them the perfect targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Seimei didn't waste another second.
