Chapter 154 Assassination? If everyone is killed and no one sees, isn’t that assassination?

After following the village chief to his house, Yuuki Yuichi looked at the almost bare house and took a closer look. The house was not very big and was made of adobe.

However, although it is not big, it has traces of life.

This kind of trace is difficult to fake. The traces of life are more reflected in some details. The feeling of a house with people living in it and a house with no people living in it is different.

Many times, even if the house is well maintained, it will look a bit desolate if no one lives in it.

After observing this, Yuichi Yuuki nodded secretly. From now on, what he observed was the same as the content in the mission intelligence.

I just don’t know what’s going on with Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha.

But even so, Yuichi Yuki did not relax at all. The history he learned taught him a phrase: a disaster.

He is a man who wants to live to see Boruto, it would be a great loss if he suffered a setback.

After opening the door, the village chief welcomed Yuuki Yuichi into the house, then pointed to a room and said, “You will stay in that room tonight.”

Following the direction of his finger, Yuuki Yuichi looked over and found that the room the village chief was pointing to was not closed. He looked inside through the open door and nodded.

“Then excuse me!”

“Don’t bother me.” The village chief smiled. “You paid for it.”

“One thousand taels is enough for one person’s monthly pay.”

Hearing this, Yuuki Yuichi fell silent. One thousand taels was not a lot, and one could only eat more than ten bowls of Ichiraku Ramen.

But for those who live here, they may not even earn one thousand taels a month.

The joys and sorrows of each person are different.

Thinking of this, Yuuki Yuichi sighed and walked towards the room the village chief pointed to.

When the village chief saw his action, he felt relieved and subconsciously touched the money in his pocket, thinking that this one thousand taels plus the money they earned this month should be enough.

At least I can survive.

As for the days to come, he was not particularly worried. They had already gone to Konoha to issue the mission, and they should be able to deal with those bandits soon.

His actions did not escape Yuuki Yuichi. When he reached the door of the room, he suddenly turned around, looked at the village chief, and said, “I’m sorry to bother you tonight.”

As he spoke, he smiled at the village chief, looking harmless.

After closing the door, Yuuki Yuichi quickly formed seals with his hands, leaving a shadow clone here, and then his real body went in the direction where the three people were before.

He has basically explored everything here. Although he didn’t explore too much, he just needs to know if there is anything fishy here.

All we have to do next is see what happens with Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi.

Then decide whether to take action directly or hide and take action later.

Returning to the big tree where he had been hiding before, Yuuki Yuichi lay down again. Uchiha and Obito had not returned yet, and he was staring at the stronghold on the opposite hill.

The 2.5 magatama Sharingan appeared in his eyes.

Although the Sharingan does not have the same detective capabilities as the Byakugan, the opposite hill is not far away, and even ordinary people can see the scene over there from him.

It’s just that you may not be able to see clearly. Now that the 2.5 Magatama Sharingan has been activated, the vision has been greatly enhanced. After all, the Sharingan also has the bloodline limit of the Insight Eye.

With his Sharingan open, Yuuki Yuichi narrowed his eyes slightly to allow himself to see more clearly.

He was not sure whether Minato Namikaze was watching him here, otherwise it would be better for him to just use his Byakugan.

But this situation is not unacceptable now. By squinting his eyes, he can still see the stronghold on the opposite hill clearly.

It didn’t take long before Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito came back.

“We have investigated it clearly. Basically, there is no problem.” Hatake Kakashi looked at Yuichi Yuichi’s Sharingan and said directly, “They are basically a group of ordinary villagers.”

“It’s the same here.” Uchiha Obito also said hurriedly, “They are all villagers. They have to pay money every month. Each person has to pay 1,000 taels! How pitiful.”

Uchiha Obito was still a little angry but still somewhat puzzled as he spoke. One thousand taels per person, and there were so many people in the three villages. If they had sent people to Konoha to issue the mission earlier, these bandits would have been killed long ago.

Why does it need to go to this extent?
The per capita money they have paid over the years is probably enough to issue an S-level mission.

Glancing at him with his Sharingan, Yuuki Yuichi said, “People are like this.”

“At the beginning, they wanted to bear it, but the villagers were ignorant and it was like cutting flesh with a soft knife.”

“Maybe they thought at first that one thousand taels was not a lot. Almost every household had some extra money, so they just paid it.”

“But by the time they realized what was happening, all their money had been taken away, and a lot of the food they were selling for money had also been taken away.”

“So the further they get, the harder their lives will become until they can no longer bear it.”

“Just like now.”

Yuuki Yuichi said, smiled, looked at Uchiha Obito again, and continued, “Now they can’t bear it, so they came to Konoha to issue the mission.”

“Even after all this exploitation, they still need people from three villages to chip in for a C-rank mission.”

“If this continues for a few more months, these villagers will just have to wait for death.”

Hearing his words, Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi were silent.

After a moment of silence, Hatake Kakashi spoke up, “I heard from the village that this bandit group has three leaders.”

At this point, he paused and said, “One ninja, two samurai.”

“I don’t know the strength of that ninja, and I don’t know if those two samurai have chakra.”

As he spoke, he looked at Yuuki Yuichi and said, “According to the rules of the mission, they can abandon this mission. C-level missions should not involve ninjas or samurai with chakra.”

“This is already considered a B-level mission.”

“Eh?” Uchiha Obito exclaimed: “B-rank mission?!”

“Of course we have to carry out the mission!”

“This is a B-rank mission! And those villagers are so pitiful.”

“If we give up this mission, they will be exploited for a while!”

Uchiha Obito said confidently, Yuuki Yuichi silently corrected his mistake and said, “You are wrong, Obito.”

“If they are not exploited for a while, they will die miserably if we give up this mission.”

Hatake Kakashi nodded, “According to the rules of the mission, such a mission is a fake mission. We can abandon the mission, but the reward for the mission will not be refunded.”

“Based on the conditions of these villagers, they are expected to die.”

“That’s right.” Yuuki Yuichi listened, stood up and grinned, “But what does this have to do with us?”

“Although I would like to receive the mission reward for free, my conscience cannot let me go.”

“There may be a lot of dirt and darkness in the world, but I can do good things within my ability without any conflict.”

His goal is to face the sea, enjoy the spring and blooming flowers, and live a peaceful and smooth life. But it does not prevent him from doing good deeds for these villagers out of pity.

“Just do good things and don’t worry about the future.”

Yuichi Yuuki’s eyes were bright, and although the aura of the Sharingan was a bit cold, for some reason, Minato Namikaze who was hiding in the dark felt a little relieved.

Knowing that the mission does not match the intelligence, you still insist on carrying it out. This would be a way to death for an ordinary ninja.

But for Yuichi Yuuki and the other two, it is not particularly rare.

With their strength, they can carry out not only B-level tasks, but even A-level tasks.

He really liked what Yuuki Yuichi said, there is nothing conflicting in doing good things within one’s ability.

“I knew you wouldn’t give up.” Hatake Kakashi sighed. He had thought about this question when he knew something was wrong with this mission.

But he didn’t expect that Yuuki Yuichi would actually say such a thing.

Just do good things and don’t worry about the future.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and pulled out his short knife, “I’ll listen to you.”

“Me too.” Uchiha Obito also spoke quickly.

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Yuichi smiled at the two of them, then sneaked towards the direction of the mountain village.

They were very fast, and in just a short moment, they had lurked not far from the mountain village.

When they arrived here, the sun had already begun to set in the west, and because they had gone out to gather some intelligence, it was already dark.

“What should we do now?” As an illiterate, Uchiha Obito didn’t know what to do and asked directly.

Glancing at Uchiha Obito, Hatake Kakashi was somewhat speechless, “Of course he went in secretly.”

“Isn’t this common sense for ninjas?”

Hearing his words, Uchiha Obito felt a little embarrassed. He really didn’t know.

And Yuuki Yuichi next to him also felt a little unnatural.

“My idea is to just charge in.” Although he didn’t want people to know that he was illiterate like Uchiha Obito, he still spoke directly.

The main reason is that he has no idea how to lurk.

Hearing his words, Hatake Kakashi raised his eyebrows. If Uchiha Obito said this, he would just laugh, but if Yuuki Yuichi said this, he would have to think about it seriously.

Captain Yuuki Yuichi only needs to be reckless, but his teammate has to worry a lot.

But it is indeed true in his heart. What a person like Yuichi Yuuki says must make sense.

Looking at Yuichi Yuuki’s expressionless face, Kakashi Hatake thought to himself, could it be that there is something I haven’t thought of?

“Right?!” Uchiha Obito was different from him. He became excited when he heard what Yuuki Yuichi said.

“I was just about to say this, can’t we just charge in directly?”

“I am indeed a genius!”

Uchiha Obito became more and more excited as he spoke, and it seemed as if he was about to rush up and fight at the next moment.

A genius like Yuichi Yuuki has the same ideas as him. Rounding it off, isn’t he a genius comparable to Yuichi Yuuki?

Yuichi Yuki touched his head. He always felt that there was some misunderstanding between the two people.

“The behavior of a reckless man.” Minato Namikaze, who was hiding in the dark, labeled all three of them as reckless men.

The strength of ninjas lies in their various ninjutsu and their high mobility.

In his opinion, as long as Yuuki Yuichi and the other three could lurk in the mountain village, they could gradually kill off the people in the village quietly.

Rushing forward directly would be equivalent to giving up the high mobility of the three of them, and the whole group would fall into a passive position.

He had already inquired about this mountain village from the beginning.

The three leaders in this mountain village are actually just a ninja who barely reached the level of Genin and two of us, new-style samurai who are not even as good as Genin.

Such strength poses no threat to the three of them. In his eyes, this mission is more about seeing how the three of them perform.

According to the normal way of ninjas performing tasks, they should kill the few bandits at the door now, and then use transformation techniques to pretend to be these bandits and gradually devour this village.

Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze sighed, took out his little notebook again, and added the word “reckless” on it.

This time, this evaluation was behind all three names.

Just as he was thinking, Hatake Kakashi looked at Yuuki Yuichi strangely, “Wait!”

“You two are just going to charge right in like this?”

“What else?” Yuichi Yuuki asked back, slowly pulling out his Pluto, staring at the bandits not far away.

“Shouldn’t we assassinate them?!” Kakashi Hatake was a little confused. His education since childhood told him that a ninja should look like a ninja.

And Yuichi Yuuki’s behavior was obviously beyond his expectations.

“Assassination?” Yuuki Yuichi repeated, then turned to look at Hatake Kakashi and grinned, “Kill them all, no one will know, isn’t that assassination?”

Hatake Kakashi was silent.

Not only him, Minato Namikaze also fell silent.

So this is your understanding?

They didn’t understand, but were greatly shocked.

But after a little thought, it seems to be true.

It may seem a bit sophistry at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it will make sense.

“No more talking!” Yuuki Yuichi turned his head away, revealing a slightly cold aura.

“I went first!”

As he said that, he exploded on the spot and slashed at the bandits at the door. The Pluto in his hand did not change its direction at all, and just kept swinging forward without any disguise.

However, the entire blade of Pluto was black, with only the edge of the blade flashing a hint of cold light. It seemed as if it was hidden when it attacked in the dark.

Yuuki Yuichi was very fast. In just two breaths, the bandits standing at the gate of the village were beheaded.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Yuichi Yuuki did not feel any disgust or nausea. He had already prepared himself for killing.

In the ninja world, whether they want to be a ninja or a samurai, they should not take their own life and death lightly when they embark on this path.

After getting rid of the bandits at the door, Yuuki Yuichi kicked open the door of the village.

“Cheer up, your grandpa is here!”
