Chapter 87 The Plan Begins
If Gen Takuno knew the reason behind their hard work, he would probably be speechless.
It wasn't that the Grell Stone was that effective; it was just that they were really bad at the game.
So even though Grell's Stone was only slightly enhanced by Crane Wing Snowstorm, it was still very obvious to them.
Soon, the four of them brought Yuan Tuoye to a place where the wind and snow were raging and the environment was even more harsh.
Yuan Tuoye raised an eyebrow as he looked at the surroundings. The laboratory and prison were not on the surface of the land, but were built underground. Even the railway was covered by heavy snow and would not be easily exposed.
"Not bad, you put your heart into it," Yuan Tuoye couldn't help but say.
"It's what we should do." Wolf Fang Avalanche smiled upon hearing this.
Soon, they arrived at the prison. They didn't have any particular requirements for the prison, except that the materials shouldn't freeze to death easily.
As for the laboratory, it is already equipped with many high-end experimental machines.
"My lord, these are all the most advanced equipment from the Snow Kingdom. I brought a copy of each. If you need anything else, I can purchase it from other countries," said Feng Hua Nu Tao.
"Not needed for now."
Yuan Tuoye looked at the laboratory with satisfaction in his eyes. All he needed to do next was to inscribe a sealing technique on the laboratory, and that would be the end of it.
As for the last railway line, it was able to operate normally, although the speed was indeed a bit slow, it was sufficient for use.
"You did a great job," said Yuan Tuoye, tossing the three Grell Stones to them.
Immediately, the three of them hurriedly took the Grell Stone, afraid that it would fall to the ground and shatter.
Then, looking at the beautiful Grell Stone in their hands and feeling its power flowing into their bodies, they felt that their months of hard work had been worthwhile.
Gen Takuno looked at Tsurugi Fubuki and said, "Come with me to the lab, and I will help you fuse the Grell Stone."
It's called fusing the Grell Stone, but it's really just placing the Grell Stone in the heart so that its power can be fully unleashed.
He Yi Fubuki's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had thought that there was nothing more for her to do, but she didn't expect that she would also receive a reward.
Although I don't know what fusing the Grell Stone is, it's definitely a reward for the next stage!
"Okay!" Tsurugi Fubuki nodded vigorously, then went to the laboratory with Gen Takuno, leaving the three of them looking at each other with a bit of envy.
However, looking at the Grell Stone in their hands, they all became more determined. As long as they continued to help the other party, the other party would definitely help them fuse the Grell Stone in the future.
Soon, when Gen Takuno and Tsurugi Fubuki came out again.
They glanced at He Yi Fubuki's slightly flushed face and understood each other without saying a word.
At this moment, Feng Hua Nu Tao asked, "Sir, is there anything else we need to do?"
"When you Snow Ninja Village do missions in the future, it's best to capture the target ninja alive and lock him up in prison, then you can wait for the right opportunity to come," said Gen Takuno.
"Yes, sir, I don't know what timing you mean by ————" Feng Hua Nu Tao asked.
"War," Yuan Tuoye said, a smirk playing on his lips.
"War?!" The four of them were all startled and exchanged glances.
The Third Shinobi World War only ended not long ago, right? Aren't all the countries currently recovering? Is it really possible for another war to break out in the near future?
Although they had some doubts, they did not question Yuan Tuoye. A qualified subordinate never questions his boss's words.
Since Gen Takuno said that a war would happen, then a war will definitely break out in the future.
"Furthermore, someone will be sending you intelligence later. Some notorious wandering ninjas and rogue ninjas are also your targets," Minamoto Takuno instructed again.
"yes!"
After giving instructions on what to do next, Gen Takuno left.
Back at the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu base, the bloodstains on his face had completely healed, and with the hawk mask still on, they remained undetected.
At this point, he pulled out the files that had been organized separately on the desktop.
The above records information on missing Konoha ninjas, villagers, and nearby missing persons over the years.
After Danzo Shimura's affair was exposed, the rate of disappearances slowed down, but it didn't stop completely.
However, as Yuan Tuoye looked at the records of missing persons, he suddenly frowned.
"At this speed, does that mean Orochimaru has discovered something and is starting to slow down?"
"Yuan Tuoye murmured, tapping his fingers on the table.
It seems that the incident involving Shimura Danzo has also served as a wake-up call for Orochimaru. Based on his understanding of Orochimaru, he is unlikely to be as unprepared for escape as he was in the original story.
Orochimaru has definitely already set up several escape routes.
If that's the case, then his method of exchanging interception for the other party's research data might not work.
Yuan Tuoye shook his head, realizing that no one in the Naruto world should be underestimated.
Since that's the case, let's try a real deal this time. He has Jugo's cells, which are also important materials for Orochimaru.
However, this item can probably only be used to trade one research document.
Gen Takuno rubbed his forehead. Ideally, it would be research data on cursed seals. As for exchanging Jugo cells for cursed seals, isn't that a bit excessive?
Do you know what it means to have a rare commodity that's worth hoarding?
For Orochimaru, the opponent's cursed seal would be incomplete without Jugo's cells, and only he possessed Jugo's cells!
Actually, he also really wanted the eight-tailed horn that Orochimaru had.
The other party only scraped some powder from the Eight-Tails' horn, which he then cultivated into an enormous Eight-Tails horn. If he could obtain this horn, then the collection of the Eight-Tails' chakra would be considered a success.
Unfortunately, Gen Takuno felt that he could still exchange for the research data on the cursed seal, but Orochimaru probably wouldn't give him the Eight-Tails' horn.
Even for Orochimaru, it wasn't easy to cultivate the Eight-Tails' horns to that size. It not only required a lot of materials, but also a lot of time to slowly cultivate them.
Therefore, Gen Takuno had no choice but to find another way to obtain the Eight-Tails' chakra.
Fortunately, after Orochimaru's defection, the Cloud Ninja will most likely go to war with Konoha, and Killer Bee may also appear on this battlefield, giving him a chance to obtain the Eight-Tails' chakra.
Furthermore, the Cloud Ninja don't just have one Eight-Tails; they also have a Two-Tails.
This war not only offers the opportunity to collect research materials, but also the chance to collect the chakra of the two tailed beasts.
It was really worth it!
While thinking, Yuan Tuoye finished reviewing the missing persons records at hand, and then he pulled out another pile of documents.
This is information he had previously ordered the Anbu to collect on some fringe ninjas who had not yet disappeared.
There were simply too many villagers, making it extremely difficult to collect information about them, but—
Ninjas have always been a rare profession, and even those on the fringes of society are few in number.
Gen Takuno sifted through the documents in his hands one by one, pondering who Orochimaru's next target might be.
After all, the Dark Division has limited manpower, and it's impossible to send Dark Division members to monitor every single one of them.
As for the possibility that Orochimaru might stop the experiments, Minamoto no Takuno did not believe it.
Orochimaru's experiments are unstoppable; he has been relentlessly pursuing immortality ever since.
Even with Danzo Shimura as an example, he would at most be a little more careful, but he would not stop.
Moreover, he may have already prepared to defect when he became the Fourth Hokage from Minato Namikaze. Would he still care if his experiments were discovered by Konoha?
Finally, Gen Takuno selected the ninja he considered the most suitable to attack.
At this moment, he also called over the squad leader.
"Sir, what brings you here?" the squad leader asked, looking at Yuan Tuoye.
Yuan Tuoye handed the documents in his hand to the other party and said, "Keep a close eye on these people during this period. They may be the next missing ninja."
The squad leader looked at the documents in his hand. He was actually very familiar with them because they were the documents he had handed over. However, he didn't quite understand why Yuan Tuoye had only chosen these documents out of so many.
He didn't see anything special about these people either.
However, he naturally couldn't question the deputy captain and immediately agreed.
Seeing the doubt on the other person's face as they looked at the documents, Yuan Tuoye couldn't help but shake his head. This was a matter of perspective; one couldn't look at things from the perspective of an ordinary person when doing this kind of thing.
Some things that seem perfectly fine are often the ones that are most likely to cause problems.
"Also, collect any personal items that have been tainted by their scent. I remember there's a ninja in the Anbu whose summoning beast is a dog?" Takuno asked.
"Yes, that secret unit is in another department," the squad leader said.
"Okay, go tell the squad leader of that department to borrow him; we'll need his ninja dogs later." Yuan Tuoye paused, then looked at the squad leader and asked, "How do you plan to focus your attention?"
The squad leader looked puzzled, then said, "Naturally, we've been monitoring them secretly."
Yuan Tuoye slapped his forehead and said, "Let's try a different approach. Absolutely do not monitor them closely. The other party has definitely developed counter-surveillance awareness to be able to get away with it for so long. What you are doing is tantamount to telling them directly that this is a trap."
The squad leader fell silent.
"We just need to disguise ourselves as ordinary ninjas and observe from a few fixed points. There's no need to follow them specifically. As long as the time they disappear exceeds a reasonable range, we can send out ninja dogs to find their whereabouts," Gen Takuno said helplessly.
"Yes, I understand." The squad leader nodded.
"Then let's get on it right away. Every bit of time wasted means that one of our compatriots may be in danger," said Gen Takuno.
"yes!"
