Chapter 88

"How could the Mizukage, that old guy, suddenly move up the Jinchuriki replacement?"

"Given his relationship with Okubo, how could he terminate Okubo's life early?"

"Could that old guy have discovered something?"

There was no time to think; Xuanwozhang Sect had to make a decision quickly.

"What is the situation with the Iwagakure ninjas? Have you made contact?"

Xuanwozhang Sect suddenly thought of a critical question and asked the Anbu ninja responsible for liaising with Iwagakure beside him.

"Still no response."

Hearing the Anbu ninja's answer, Xuanwozhang Sect suddenly became highly vigilant.

This group of Iwagakure ninjas not only concerned combat power but also played a key role in Xuanwozhang Sect's plan.

If this group of Iwagakure ninjas dropped the ball at a critical moment, Xuanwozhang Sect would have to consider whether this plan was still worth continuing.

Just then, another Anbu ninja came to report.

"Minister, a suspicious ninja just arrived in front of the Anbu building."

"After leaving a letter, they quickly left using Earth Release."

As he spoke, the Anbu ninja handed a letter to Xuanwozhang Sect.

Xuanwozhang Sect opened the letter, and after seeing the content, his pupils contracted slightly, his eyes filled with an uncertain expression.

The letter was signed by Hunting of Iwagakure.

The letter stated: They had already headed to the location requested by Xuanwozhang Sect according to the previous agreement, telling him to rest assured that they would keep their promise and act on time.

And the reason they hadn't replied to Xuanwozhang Sect's previous contact was that there had been a problem with their previous communication method, so they could only resort to this clumsy method of physical delivery.

Xuanwozhang Sect was not stupid; on the contrary, he was extremely clever to have reached this position.

He naturally knew very well that the current behavior of this group of Iwagakure ninjas was extremely suspicious.

But on one hand, he and the Iwagakure ninjas were in a relationship of mutual utilization, so it was normal for this group of Iwagakure ninjas not to trust his hidden movements.

On the other hand, Xuanwozhang Sect knew the strength of this group of Iwagakure ninjas very well; even if the Mizukage himself went to deal with them, it would take some effort.

According to Xuanwozhang Sect's intelligence, there had been no movement from the Third Mizukage's subordinates, nor from the Mizukage himself, recently.

So it was impossible for the Third to have dealt with this group of Iwagakure ninjas.

Therefore, Xuanwozhang Sect judged that there was a problem with the Iwagakure ninjas "themselves"—that is, these Iwagakure ninjas probably didn't trust him, rather than it being due to some external factor.

Xuanwozhang Sect probably couldn't imagine even if he racked his brains that a little-known Special Jonin had dealt with a team of elite Iwagakure ninjas led by Hunting without any effort.

"Fine, as long as this group of Iwagakure ninjas can arrive at the place and appear on time, everything else doesn't matter."

"I never intended to let this group of Iwagakure ninjas go back alive anyway."

A flash of cold light crossed Xuanwozhang Sect's eyes; how could he possibly leave such a big "flaw" unattended?

Wouldn't it be even better to have "no proof of death" when the time came?

As for this group of Iwagakure ninjas dreaming of obtaining the "reward" discussed earlier, that was even more ridiculous.

Thinking of this, a hint of ferocity appeared on Xuanwozhang Sect's baby face again.

Time waits for no one; since the Mizukage side had already started, Xuanwozhang Sect could only follow suit and move his plan up.

Opportunity knocks but once; let's do it.

"Pass my order: everyone head to the Lake of Mist!"

"And have the vanguard prepare; the personnel ambushed in the village should also start preparing to act."

Xuanwozhang Sect said coldly, his eyes filled with a hint of greedy excitement.

After all, in his view, the Mizukage's position would soon be his.

Outside the Anbu building, Mizunuki Ryosuke, who had completed the "delivery" mission, was observing nervously while hidden in the dark.

It wasn't until he saw the ninjas inside moving out on a large scale that he finally felt relieved.

It looked like his plan had perfectly deceived Xuanwozhang Sect.

He first had Tian Yuanshi stall for time, and then specifically delivered the letter at the critical moment when the matter was about to erupt.

This was precisely to confuse Xuanwozhang Sect, leaving him no time to think carefully, thereby creating pressure on the other party.

As a result, the other party really didn't see through the anomaly.

In this way, Mizunuki Ryosuke's plan had perfectly formed a closed loop.

Xuanwozhang Sect, this big fish, was completely hooked.

Afterward, Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't rush to the Lake of Mist, but waited quietly beside the Anbu building.
