Chapter 627: The Assassination Mission for the Aristocrat of the Land of Wind!
"I... what's going on here?"
A young man with short red hair and a dazed expression opened his eyes.
He was Scorpion's father.
At a young age, he became the leader of the dark forces, married a beautiful wife, had a genius son, and reached the peak of his life.
However, his luck ran out when he encountered 'White Fang', a formidable opponent who struck fear into the hearts of the Suna ninjas. He was killed instantly.
"Shaya, didn't we encounter White Fang?"
A female ninja with long brown hair and a fair complexion stood by his side, seemingly recalling the dazzling blade that had flashed by.
"Shaya, Keizi, you're finally alive!"
Chiyoki looked at the couple before her, unable to contain her excitement any longer.
With her long-held wish fulfilled, she was no longer the 'Chiyoki' who had been supporting the Sunagakure Village, but a regular mother.
"Mother, Master Hai Ryozen, how did you get here, and what happened to you?"
Shaya, Scorpion's father, looked bewildered. He didn't understand why there were so many changes.
"Shaya, you died decades ago, and now you've been resurrected using a forbidden technique. So, calm down and cooperate with the test, and later we'll tell you what you want to know!"
Hai Ryozen spoke up when he saw that his usually calm and wise sister had lost her mind.
Now wasn't the time for a family reunion.
"You two, try to refine your chakra and see if there's any increase or decrease."
Tang Ping, standing to the side, gave the instruction.
The chakra of the Impure World Reincarnated body was similar to that of their previous lives, with little difference, except for some variations due to the materials used.
However, true resurrection was different from Impure World Reincarnation, so it was necessary to figure it out.
This was also considered an experiment.
With Chiyoki and Hai Ryozen present, there was no need to worry about them causing any trouble, so they followed Tang Ping's orders to the letter.
After more than an hour...
"Alright, the test is over. Next, you must assume new identities. I don't want anyone to know about this resurrection. Do you have any questions?"
Tang Ping spoke after collecting the data. However, he wasn't addressing the couple.
"I'll have them join the Dark Forces!"
Hai Ryozen immediately made the promise.
He was well aware of the consequences if the news of 'resurrecting' the dead were to spread throughout the Shinobi World, so he had already thought of a solution.
The Dark Forces!
Once they joined this department, their identities would be kept secret, making it the perfect choice to have Shaya and his wife join.
"My promise has been fulfilled, and I hope Elder Chiyoki will also keep her word!"
Tang Ping hinted at something.
He wanted Chiyoki's support for the Heavenly Castle to completely absorb Sunagakure Village, not just for Ye Cang to become the Fifth Kazekage.
"As long as you treat Sunagakure Village the same way as the Mist Hidden Village, I will naturally keep my word!"
Chiyoki nodded with a lighthearted tone.
Her trusted subordinate sent to the Mist Hidden Village had returned with the intelligence, confirming that the new village was indeed living a life beyond their wildest dreams under their support.
As long as the villagers of Sunagakure could live happily, Chiyoki didn't mind whether they were loyal to the aristocracy or the Heavenly Castle. After all, she wasn't an ambitious person and wasn't afraid of losing power.
With Chiyoki's agreement, the shrine maidens, who had been prepared in advance, could immediately enter Sunagakure Village.
In summary, the education and internal affairs logistics would be secretly controlled by the Heavenly Castle.
Diplomatic and military matters would still be managed by the original Sunagakure system.
One critical aspect was their attitude towards the aristocracy.
Previously, Sunagakure Village had to rely on the aristocracy as they controlled most of the basic resources.
But now, with the support of the Heavenly Castle, they could completely ignore the aristocrats, and their relationship needed adjustment.
For example, the elders who had been sucking the village dry with the support of the aristocracy would have to step down immediately.
As for the ninjas supported by the aristocracy, it depended on whether they understood the situation.
If they did, they could be accepted; if they remained loyal to the aristocracy, they would have to face the consequences.
Ninjas were 'killing tools', and the methods used to deal with those who weren't loyal were as harsh as they could be.
Purge!
Chiyoki and Hai Ryozen would naturally be in charge of this task.
Even without Tang Ping saying it, the couple understood that this was the 'payment' they had to make.
As Chiyoki and the others left, Tang Ping didn't rush to depart. He turned to the corner and asked.
"Well?"
Yes, there was one more person here, but they were hidden within a long cloak.
Chiyoki and Hai Ryozen had also seen this person but pretended not to notice.
"I didn't expect you to succeed..."
A cold, gentle female voice echoed.
Yes, this hidden figure was a woman, and a very familiar one at that.
As she lifted her head, her face, hidden in the shadows, was revealed.
It was Xinan!
Her skin was as delicate as jade, and her cold, striking face with its distinct features was a stark contrast to her innocent and sweet appearance from years ago.
But her beauty was truly exceptional!
It had to be said that the Shinobi World might be lacking in many areas, but the female ninjas' beauty was unparalleled.
(The innocent and sweet phase was during the initial stages, but after Yahiko's death, her personality changed!)
In any case, even if he could travel back in time, Tang Ping would not want to, despite the allure of the female ninjas.
It wasn't about the girls; he simply wanted to contribute to the Shinobi World.
"Xinan, if you wish, I can fulfill the promise I made back then right away!"
Tang Ping wanted to know what her choice would be.
In this hellish world, a 'saintly' personality like Yahiko's would not last long.
Even if he were to be resurrected, he would undoubtedly meet his end soon.
"Not now, let's wait until the Shinobi World is at peace!"
Xinan shook her head slightly.
She only needed confirmation that resurrection was possible; the specific timing wasn't urgent.
Resurrecting now would only bring trouble and danger; it was better to wait until the Shinobi World calmed down.
Previously, she was anxious because she wasn't sure if resurrection was truly possible, but now that she had confirmation, she wasn't in a rush.
"It's up to you, but the Akatsuki Organization has been developing quite well during this time!"
Tang Ping didn't confirm or deny it but instead asked about the Akatsuki Organization.
Even though the other party had been providing intelligence, it was still more convenient to ask in person.
"It's those people that 'Zetsu' found..."
Xinan directly explained the situation of the Akatsuki Organization.
Knowing the truth about Chomon being targeted, and understanding that the Akatsuki Organization they established had become someone else's tool, she naturally wouldn't keep it a secret.
"Is that so? Continue gathering intelligence!"
Tang Ping learned that the development of the Akatsuki Organization was the same as in the original plot, which slightly eased his mind.
It could be said that even though the plot had already gone off the rails due to his influence, some things remaining the same as the original plot was a good thing for him.
For example, he could place an order with Kakuzu and Hidan to assassinate the aristocracy of the Land of Wind.
Others might hesitate to target the aristocracy, but for this 'immortal duo,' it was no problem as long as the money was right.
You see, isn't this a fantastic opportunity?
The Akatsuki Organization was taking the fall for him, and if the aristocracy targeted them, he wouldn't feel bad about it.
Tang Ping even hoped that Chomon would go to places like Kyoto to 'carry rice.'
Carrying rice in such places wouldn't attract any protagonists to interfere, so it was completely safe.
If someone were to eliminate the aristocracy of the Shinobi World for him, Tang Ping might even laugh out loud.
"By the way, help me place an order with the Akatsuki Organization. If they can eliminate the aristocracy of the Land of Wind, I'll pay ten million ryo, and I want people to know that the payment will come from Konoha!"
Tang Ping directly asked Xinan to place the order for him.
If he were to post the task himself, he might leave a trace, but with an 'inside man' helping, there was no need to worry.
At the same time, he could also smear Konoha's reputation.
After all, the Sunagakure ninjas had just attacked the Konoha Ninja Army, and it wasn't impossible for them to retaliate with money.
"Ten million ryo is indeed not a small amount, but to kill so many aristocrats..."
Xinan shook her head lightly. As the manager of the Akatsuki Organization, she was well aware of the difficulty of this task.
While the aristocrats themselves might be easy to kill, the problem lay in the subsequent retaliation and their guard forces.
With the number of targets, the figure of ten million ryo, though terrifying, was indeed a bit low.
"Rest assured, Sunagakure won't interfere, and ten million ryo is just the starting price. We can set a price based on identity, status, and position!"
Tang Ping added.
Ten million ryo was indeed a small amount for the aristocracy of the Land of Wind, one of the Five Great Nations.
However, Tang Ping lacked nothing but money.
Forget ten million ryo; if he could eliminate the aristocracy of the Five Great Nations, he would be willing to pay even one billion or ten billion ryo.
Moreover, only the Akatsuki Organization would dare to accept such a task. If he posted it in the underground bazaar, he might become a corpse before he even finished posting it.
After all, the supporters of the bazaar were the aristocrats themselves.
But by bypassing the middleman and giving the order directly to the Akatsuki Organization, there was no need to worry.
"Agreed!"
Only then did Xinan nod.
For the Akatsuki Organization, killing anyone was fine as long as they were paid enough.
After the discussion, the group dispersed.
Tang Ping prepared to go to Konoha to participate in the 'Hokage Election.'
