Chapter 276: Assassination Mission

Chapter 276: Assassination Mission

Land of Fire, Konoha.

Sakumo had just accepted a mission, or rather, a secret mission that Hokage had forced to send him.

Assassinate the original Land of Iron Country General, Mifune!

Although Hokage-sama was still as gentle as usual, Sakumo could feel the doubt and distrust.

This mission was more like a test of his loyalty!

This was because the former Land of Iron General Mifune was now an internal member of Akatsuki. He was usually in charge of most matters of the Land of Iron for Akatsuki.

And now, who didn't know that this Akatsuki who suddenly rose up was actually Senju Haru's power!

Moving three ships was equivalent to provoking Akatsuki and slapping Haru in the face.

Choosing to give this task to him, if there was no other meaning, it was really hard for Sakumo to convince himself.

But since it was a task, it must be completed.

So the next day, Sakumo went on his way with his other two companions.

Sakumo had never seen these two people, but he did not show any dissatisfaction.

Because he knew that leaving Kakashi alone was not enough. This was the person sent by Hokage to monitor his every move.

Sakumo was a little confused and did not understand why he suddenly lost the trust of the village.

Was it because he hid the truth about taking the flying macine?

Well, this was indeed his fault.

Then let's start with this mission and win back this trust.

Sakumo showed a firm look.

...

After a few days, Sakumo and his group finally came to the original Land of Iron, the Iron City of Akatsuki.

Sakumo had also come to the Land of Iron once to forge his chakra sabre.

At that time, the Land of Iron gave him a feeling that the class was strict. If an ordinary person dared to offend a warrior, the warrior even had the right to kill him on the spot.

Although this place also accepted some business, it was very against outsiders, especially ninjas.

Many unreasonable rules and regulations had been abolished.

Although the warrior was still a privileged class, the power in his hands had been greatly reduced. At least, it was impossible to kill people in the street like before.

Because there was already a group of people who didn't believe in evil that had tried their heads for everyone. It was true!

In addition to the large group of spiky headed warriors that had been cleaned up at the beginning, those who could survive now were all people with brains, or those who were 'timid'.

Therefore, there might be emotions that could be excluded, but no one would dare to show it openly.

Therefore, even if they saw warriors and ninjas walking together on the big streets of Land of Iron, they didn't have to be too surprised. The other party must be a member of Akatsuki!

Ordinary people are actually so simple. Whoever can bring them more practical benefits, make them live a better life, they will support who!

Since Akatsuki took over the Land of Iron, everyone saw all these changes. Experience in life was naturally ten thousand times happier and supportive.

It was unknown when Sakumo's expression became very complicated.

He had to admit that Haru had done very well. If the other countries that were occupied by Akatsuki were also like this, then perhaps this was a great thing for the people of those countries.

He couldn't help but wonder, if Haru hadn't been kidnapped back then and the Second Hokage-sama was still alive, when Haru became Hokage, would he have done better than Sarutobi Hiruzen?

This was already a rebellious thought, but the answer in his heart was more inclined to that person.

In addition, he also understood some things that happened in this country that he couldn't understand.

For example, a huge stone tablet suddenly appeared in the center of the main city.

Many words would appear on it every day, and it was said to be a variety of tasks.

Samurai, ninjas, and even ordinary civilians could accept it. After completing it, not only would they receive money as a reward, but they could also obtain incomparably precious contribution points.

As long as they had enough contribution points, they could be exchanged for any items and knowledge that Akatsuki possessed and could develop.

You could even pray to the 'god' and use contribution points to achieve something that could never be accomplished with your own efforts.

For example, you have a very strong enemy. You want to take revenge, but you can't do it at all.

This would be the time to apply with enough contribution points.

Once you pass, there will be someone to take revenge for you.

This could also be considered an alternative form of issuing missions, but it was not for everyone.

Otherwise, contribution points could be maliciously swiped.
