Chapter 892: The Beauty Trap?
Chapter 892: The Beauty Trap?
The Yamanaka Clan's Internal Struggles!
Well, it's not exactly an internal struggle, but more of a power struggle.
After Yamanaka Haiichi's death, he left behind a widow and orphans.
Although no one would dare harm them, it doesn't mean that others in the Yamanaka Clan don't have ambitions for the position of Clan Head.
Just like Uchiha Yai's situation back then, it was as bad as it could get, and it was only thanks to the protection of the main branch that she didn't face an early demise.
Being eligible to inherit the position of Clan Head, coupled with her exceptional talent, only added to her appeal.
Sometimes, just because you don't fight for something doesn't mean others will trust you.
Whether you speak up or not isn't important; what matters is whether you have the strength and qualifications.
Ino, being the daughter of the Clan Head and possessing exceptional talent, as well as being a disciple of Asuma, the 'Dragon of Konoha', naturally gained support despite her young age.
So, it's not surprising that she faced suppression and exclusion from her fellow clan members.
Unfortunately, outsiders have no say in these internal clan matters.
Not interfering in the affairs of other ninja clans is a strict rule in the ninja world, except for the Sunlight Nation.
Given the hardships Ino has endured, wouldn't it be reasonable for her to defect to the Sunlight Nation?
Indeed, this reason is quite fitting.
Of course, there's an even more crucial reason why Ino was chosen as a spy instead of someone else.
Appearance!
Ino's beauty is undeniable.
Sending an ordinary spy to the Sunlight Nation might take an indefinite amount of time to climb the ranks and access vital information.
But with Ino's beauty, seducing Tang Ping to obtain sensitive information would be a much simpler task.
For female spies, this is known as the 'Beauty Trap'.
Note that not all female ninjas can employ this strategy, but those who can are quite effective.
A stunning appearance, coupled with a playful and flirtatious demeanor, makes it challenging for many to resist such a woman.
For the sake of their village and the Fire Will, Konoha ninjas are willing to make sacrifices.
Thus, Ino didn't refuse the mission; she only pondered how to explain the situation to her mother and siblings.
The plan was devised and overseen by Konan, without informing Jiraiya, the Hokage.
It's worth mentioning that after Danzo's departure, Konan took over his 'Number One' position, constantly providing benefits to the Sunlight Nation.
This plan required minimal resources, and if successful, the rewards would be immense. Even if it failed, the loss of a single ninja was deemed acceptable.
Hmm, while Jiraiya appears to be the leader of the Hokage faction, he is merely the public face, as Asuma has already established a small group behind the scenes.
Therefore, sending Ino as a spy to infiltrate the Sunlight Nation is a decision made by this small group, unknown to Jiraiya, the Hokage.
"For the village!"
Ino ultimately made her decision and prepared to settle her affairs before departing for the Sunlight Nation.
Meanwhile!
Tang Ping is unaware of the situation. He is currently meeting with Kakashi at a barbecue restaurant.
This restaurant is not affiliated with the Sunlight Nation's chain of barbecue restaurants.
Although it's safer there, it's precisely because of this that they can't operate from that location, as it might expose their hidden card.
As long as they don't utilize this channel, there won't be any issues.
The Sunlight Nation's barbecue chain is genuinely not involved in espionage; they only collect everyday information, making it impossible to be suspected.
Even if someone were to keep a close eye on them, they wouldn't reveal any flaws.
This is why the chain has grown in scale while also avoiding rejection.
Through analysis of these everyday pieces of information, valuable insights can be gained.
For example, the Yang Yuan has become the most stable and valuable currency, with merchants and nobles accumulating wealth. The market is dominated by imported goods like food, salt, fabric, and more...
These insights are derived from analyzing everyday information, ensuring their accuracy.
So, Akio Su's importance was so great that it was no wonder Tang Ping would not cause trouble for her.
"Do you have a mission for me this time?"
Kakashi asked straightforwardly.
He was well aware that the other party wouldn't seek him out without a reason.
That's right!
He was very clear about the Sunlight Nation's every move, knowing how happy the people were under their rule, so he naturally sided with them, no longer with the Fire Will and the Hidden Leaf.
It was no wonder he had a change of heart; the contrast between the two sides was just too stark.
No matter how good it sounded in the face of facts, it was useless; ninjas were not as easily fooled as ordinary people.
After seeing these things clearly, it was obvious which side he would choose.
To put it bluntly.
The current Kakashi couldn't wait for the Sunlight Will to purify the Shinobi World, burning away the corrupt nobility, and allowing the common people to enjoy a peaceful life.
"Senju Joushi has recently escaped to the Hidden Leaf, and I need your help to find him. Also, you figure out a way to leave the village for a while with your trusted followers!"
Tang Ping stated the two tasks he had for Kakashi.
Find Joushi! With his help, it wouldn't take much time to locate him.
As for the second task, Tang Ping was afraid of some kind of 'butterfly effect' that would cause Kakashi to die on Pain's Cargo.
The uncensored version is available at 6=9+book_bar! 6=9+book_bar is the first to publish this novel.
After all, Konan had 'added ingredients' this time.
Pain's Cargo remained the same, but the process would definitely be different from the original plot.
For safety, he had to let Kakashi and his trusted followers leave.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Kakashi looked at Tang Ping deeply and nodded, taking on both tasks.
He had already heard that something big was about to happen in the Hidden Leaf, and staying here would be inconvenient or dangerous for him, which was why he was being sent away.
He naturally wouldn't refuse.
If he could let the Sunlight Nation rule the Shinobi World sooner, he would even take action against Jiraiya.
Ninja Way!
Nowadays, his Ninja Way had transformed into letting the Sunlight Will dominate the Shinobi World.
So, despite being from the Hidden Leaf, he was actually more radical than the radicals of the Sunlight Nation.
"By the way, what did the Fire Country messenger come for?"
Tang Ping suddenly remembered the Guardian Ninja he saw when entering the village.
Asking others wouldn't yield much information, but asking Kakashi, a high-ranking ninja, would naturally provide some insights.
"A messenger from the Fire Country came to the village to deliver something, probably to cooperate with the village. It's handled by the Root Division, so I'm not too clear on the details!"
Kakashi shared what he knew.
Regarding this matter, even though he was curious, he had no intention of investigating further. Doing so might reveal his identity.
For safety, he wouldn't act recklessly unless he had Tang Ping's orders.
"I see!"
Tang Ping spoke with a contemplative tone and gestured for Kakashi to leave.
It was easy to guess that the cooperation between the Fire Country and the Root Division wouldn't lead to anything good.
Worth paying attention to!
He truly didn't take the Allied Forces seriously, but that didn't mean he wouldn't value their methods.
In the Shinobi World, if pushed to the extreme, all sorts of situations could arise, and he didn't want to capsize in a ditch.
Kakashi stood up and left.
With his strength, he naturally wouldn't be noticed.
After waiting for a while, Tang Ping also left with Quan to go to the pre-booked inn, preparing to 'visit' certain ninja clans and the Root Division in the evening.
He was visiting the ninja clans because some of them were already wavering, with a good chance of being swayed. As for the Root Division, it was because of the Guardian Ninja from the Fire Country.
He really wanted to know what they were up to.
As for Pain's Cargo?
Although he couldn't pinpoint the exact time, it would definitely be within these few days.
Time quickly reached the late hours of the night, and Tang Ping left, leaving Quan to cover for him.
