Chapter 21 The 1st Mission

The Hidden Mist Village, the Anbu headquarters, the director's office.

"Is it really okay for our team to carry out this mission?" Feng asked worriedly.

"Feng, don't worry, they are capable enough for this task, go!" Ken, the Anbu chief and captain-general, replied with confidence in his tone.

Normally, the configuration of an Anbu team is a combination of one Jonin, one elite Chunin, and two Chunins, but Feng's Sixth Team has two Jonins, which is beyond the standard. Feng knows that his team is luxurious among all the Anbu teams, but after all, two of them are newcomers who have never performed Anbu missions, so Feng is still a little nervous.

At the first training ground, Kiyoshi, Yagura, and Chinano were talking in detail, trying to understand each other's fighting styles and abilities.

At this time, Feng Shunshen appeared in front of the three people.

"Check your equipment. The mission location is the capital of the Water Nation. Meet at Channel 6 in a quarter of an hour. Disperse!"

After hearing the order, several people quickly dispersed. Putting on a mask, a gray Kirigakure vest, and a dark blue Kirigakure logo robe, Qing Si quickly ran towards the passage after getting ready.

"Let's go!" Feng gave the order after several people arrived one after another.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Four sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and the four figures disappeared from the spot.

"The mission was issued by the Daimyo of Water Country. The goal of the mission is to secretly kill a general of Water Country. It involves the political struggle within the capital, so it is not convenient for us in Kirigakure to intervene directly. Since the mission is likely issued directly by the Daimyo, it can only be handed over to our Anbu to carry out the assassination, and we must not leave any traces." On the way, Feng explained the details of the mission to the three people.

"We already have specific intelligence about the target, but to be absolutely sure, we need to conduct another investigation after arriving at the capital." Feng said cautiously, not trusting the intelligence provided by the Daimyo Prefecture.

"Yes!" The three answered at the same time.

The worst among them were already Chunin. Therefore, they traveled at full speed and arrived at the capital of the Water Country in just two days in the evening of the second day. As the capital that controls the economic lifeline of the Water Country, it is very prosperous. Although it is already late, it is still bustling with people.

"Let's take a night's rest first, and then split up to gather intelligence tomorrow." Feng decided after finding a random hotel to stay in.

As four people who were carrying out an assassination mission and the target of the assassination was an important mission of the Water Country, for the sake of caution, it was better for them not to go to the Kirigakure official office in the Water Country. Although the Anbu also had a base in the capital, in order to not leave any clues, the few people also did not go there.

The next day, the four people, who had rested their energy, began to collect intelligence.

Feng was responsible for personally investigating the defense situation of the Shogun's mansion, Qingsi was responsible for formulating the retreat plan and route, and Yagura and Chinano were responsible for collecting relevant information about the Shogun himself.

Not long after, Feng returned quietly, and then Qingsi, who was observing the route from the outside, also returned to his residence.

"Did you gain anything?" Qingsi asked.

"The defenses are very tight, with patrolling soldiers everywhere and samurai stationed in key locations. There should be ninjas lurking in the dark, but I was afraid of alerting them, so I didn't conduct an in-depth investigation. We'll explore it again at night, and we'll need to rely on your and Yagura's perception abilities." Feng replied with a serious tone.

Under such tight defense, it is extremely difficult to complete the assassination quietly and then retreat without being discovered by the guards.

At noon, Yagura and Chinano, who had gone out to collect intelligence, also returned.

"Our guess is correct, 99% of the tasks were issued by the daimyo himself!" Chino opened her mouth with bombshell news.

"We have learned from the trusted subordinates of the Daimyo of the Land of Water that there have been frequent quarrels between the general and the Daimyo in recent days. The general controls a large number of troops and privately raises a lot of samurai, which poses a substantial threat to the Daimyo's rule. In addition, the two have completely opposite political views, so the Daimyo wants to use us, Kirigakure, to get rid of him." Yagura added.

"It is indeed so! It seems that the general is also afraid that the daimyo will attack him secretly. No wonder the defense of his mansion is so tight!" The expression on Feng's face was not looking good.

"Damn Daimyo!" Feng, who came from the Anbu, was only loyal to the Mizukage and had no respect for the Daimyo.

The few people who failed to reach an agreement decided to wait until night to visit the general's mansion again before making any plans.

At night, Feng took Qingsi and Yagura and sneaked into the Shogun's mansion.

Three dark shadows were quietly lying on the roof of the side entrance of the General's Mansion. Feng used his eyes to signal Qingsi and Yagura to sense it.

Yagura formed seals with his hands, his chakra fluctuated slightly, and his perception quickly enveloped the Shogun's mansion.

Qingsi's movements were more concise. He closed his eyes slightly, kept his body still, and the chakra in his body gradually became active. He put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together and touched the tiles on the roof. In an instant, the situation in the general's mansion appeared in Qingsi's mind as if he had a God's perspective.
