Chapter 274: Dispelling the Illusion? Easy!
Since it was decided that only Jonin would be brought along for this operation, not all the members of the seven-member team will be able to follow.
So it's just Hozuki Shingetsu, who will not be able to follow.
"Kaito, take me with you!"
There was a hint of hatred in Hozuki Shingetsu's eyes.
But before Kaito could refuse, Hozuki Shingetsu continued.
"There is no Jonin from our Hozuki clan on the front line at the moment. If we encounter any clan members blocking us when we return to the village, or if they are on the opposite side, I can come forward to persuade them!"
Looking at the other party's determined eyes, Kaito gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay, but you have to follow Kisame closely when the time comes."
Just like what Hozuki Shingetsu said, it was an internal fight after all, and it would be best if the enemy could be reduced through negotiation. And if it really comes to a fight, Hozuki Shingetsu, who had the Hydrification Technique, was no worse than most jonin in terms of his ability to survive.
However, Kaito still turned his head and looked at Kisame standing beside him.
Kisame had no objection to this, as Hozuki Shingetsu was originally a member of his Anbu team.
Now there are only a few big and small cats left in Kisame's team, so he will naturally help them a little.
When it comes to hatred for the mastermind behind the scenes, Kisame has no less than anyone else, it's just that Kisame's emotions are more restrained, so they are not so obvious.
"Captain Harusame, just wait here. Ao-sensei and I will go to the front-line camp together. After we gather the people, we will come back to join you."
"If… Never mind."
Kaito originally wanted to say that if a battle broke out in the camp, they should keep their troops in place.
However, considering the current combat strength of the front-line camp, Kaito, who had fully recovered after a day's rest, felt that there was no need for it.
Afterwards, Kaito and Ao returned to the front-line camp quietly. Kaito just put on an ordinary Anbu mask and followed Ao into the commander's tent.
However, there was actually an 'Ao' sitting in the tent at this moment, pretending to read a book.
After noticing someone coming in, Ao immediately stuffed the book in his hand into the drawer.
The real Ao, who was standing next to Kaito, blushed when he saw this and immediately coughed twice.
"Zabuza, change back."
With a "bang", a cloud of white smoke burst out, and the 'Ao' in front of him turned back into Zabuza.
"Ao-sensei, you're back. How's the situation?"
Without waiting for Ao to continue explaining, Kaito on the side took off his mask and looked at the place where Zabuza hid his books with a smile.
"Kaito!"
"What have you done again, man?!"
"There's no time to explain." Ao interrupted Zabuza's question directly and then gave an order.
"Zabuza, you and Mei go gather all the jonin in the camp to gather."
"Yes!"
Seeing Zabuza taking orders and leaving in such a hurry, Kaito looked at Ao with some confusion.
"Ao-sensei, this?"
"We agreed to recruit the trusted jonin, but now it has become everyone?"
However, facing Kaito's puzzled expression, Ao just rolled his eyes at him.
However, after everyone arrived, Kaito roughly realized that he had made a stupid mistake.
The dozen or so senior ninjas here are basically all acquaintances.
I won't mention Biwa Juzo, Isaburo, Kaguya Rosso, Kono, and Toshio Utsumi, these faces are so familiar that they can't be more familiar.
The rest were either members of the Flying Unit or senior ninjas who had been treated by Kaito and had a good relationship with him.
There is no fighting at the front line at the moment, and the flying unit jonin actually account for the majority of those present.
By the way, there is also this guy Kazetsume, who was appointed by Kaito casually to temporarily lead the Fourth Squad of the Flying Unit, and has now been promoted to a full-time position.
Even Yuki Hiro, who came in last, just smiled at Kaito who was standing next to Ao, and walked into the crowd without hesitation.
'If Kushimaru and Raiga were not still in the village, I would have captured all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in one fell swoop.'
Kaito didn't even notice that he had already gained such a wide network of contacts in the village without knowing when.
He wanted to say that there was actually no need to involve so many people.
Calling the senior ninjas to the front line was, on the one hand, to be on the safe side, and on the other hand, to witness the correctness of this action.
However, looking at these people who trusted him, Kaito finally did not speak.
"That."
Ao was about to speak when he was interrupted by Kaguya Rosso laughing.
"Haha, Kaito! You bastard, are we going to just rebel this time? Go back to the village and beat him up!"
Kaito looked at the guy with a frown on his face, who had not been dealt with for a while and was starting to feel itchy again.
Unexpectedly, there were people who agreed with Kaguya Rosso.
"Hey, I've been annoyed with that old guy Mizukage for a long time, and there's also that bastard Yagura. Tell me! Who should we deal with?"
As Biwa Jūzō said this, he carried Executioner's Blade, which had been broken in half at some point, onto his shoulder.
The corners of Kaito's mouth twitched, and he listened to the speeches of these two crazy people in silence.
"You guys guessed it right."
And it wasn't just these two guys. When Kaito looked around, he saw many other people who also showed excitement.
Ao also looked at the Kaito next to him helplessly.
"Kaito, can you explain the situation?"
"OK."
Kaito did not refuse and told the current situation again to these senior ninjas.
As Kaito finished speaking, the scene returned to calm again.
It was still Kaguya Rosso who spoke first.
"Remove the illusion? Easy! Either kill the caster, or kill the person who is under the illusion!"
Kaito really didn't want to pay attention to this guy, but he still emphasized it a little bit.
"The one who was under the spell was the Third Mizukage, and Jonin Yagura might have also been under the spell. What you need to do is to help me subdue them after Ao-sensei has identified the caster and the one who was under the spell."
At this time, Yuki Hiro stood up and said,"Jōnin Mirukawa, if necessary, the Yuki Clan can call upon the jonin in the village to act together."
Everyone turned their eyes over when they heard this. The conflict between the Yuki Clan and Kaito was not small before, and many people present were spectators at that time. They didn't expect that Yuki Hiro would support Kaito so much this time.
Kaguya Rosso even stood up directly.
"The Kaguya clan can do that too!"
Kaito glanced at Kaguya Rosso and ignored him. However, Yuki Hiro still rejected this proposal.
"No, this operation doesn't require too many people, so it's better to fight quickly and decisively."
Yuki Hiro didn't react much when he heard this. He just nodded and walked back.
After seeing that no one else had any objections, Ao finally stepped forward to make the arrangements.
Four senior ninjas, including Kono, were selected to stay in the camp to provide cover and handle emergency matters, while the rest of the people each found a trusted subordinate to transform and impersonate themselves.
The group left the front-line camp quietly.
Heading towards the Kirigakure Village.
