Chapter 716 Legitimacy

Ghost Country Intelligence Security Supervision Department, reference room on the third basement floor.

There are hundreds of permanent staff in this department.

The only content of their work here is to maintain the intelligence agencies of the entire ghost kingdom to operate 24 hours a day, all year round.

Although it is not like the combat department, which needs to be ready to go to the battlefield at any time, the difficulty of the work of the personnel working here is also under tremendous pressure.

New information will flow in from external branches every moment, and then the new information that has been sorted out must be sent to the corresponding personnel accurately and accurately at the first time. However, if there is a single word in it, it may cause the Kingdom of Ghosts to suffer a huge loss of profit.

Therefore, even with hundreds of regular employees, the working environment here is often under high pressure due to the huge and complex amount of information to be processed.

That being said, all of this has nothing to do with Kakashi right now.

He was parachuted into this department by Shiraishi to serve as the so-called 'security consultant', but the most important job at present is not to directly participate in the same working environment as the rest, but to thoroughly understand the important information that the Kingdom of Ghosts has obtained so far.

Then, by the way, monitor the usual working attitude of the staff here, and check whether there are any defects.

Although he doesn't have the real power to directly arrest or transfer personnel, the fact that he can achieve the 'Up to Heaven Ting' is enough to prove that this position is not as simple as imagined.

Because the actual person in charge of Kakashi is Shiraishi, who is the Minister of Military Affairs, and he is a close minister. Basically, only those who are absolutely loyal and reliable in handling affairs can appear in this position.

So, for Kakashi, the most important job at present is to read a lot of information and read these things by heart. Even if he can't read them by heart, he must find the corresponding information for collection in an emergency.

From this point of view, the importance of this post is self-evident.

Especially on the road of looking forward to the future, there are not only various channels for promotion as a 'security consultant', but some even lead directly to the core of the military.

After visiting Sasuke, he has been soaking in the basement reference room of the intelligence department to read the collection here.

The intelligence system of Oni Land is huge, more complete than Konoha's intelligence system, and the number of top-secret intelligence collected is also higher than Konoha's.

Especially in terms of details, some of the collected information seems to make people come to the scene and directly participate in it, which makes people feel incredible.

The sound of light footsteps came from the side, Kakashi raised his head, and a manager of the reference room came over.

"Mr. Kakashi, Master Shiraishi asked you to go there."

"I see."

Kakashi simply put the unfinished information in the corresponding position, and left this quiet reference room.

Slowly came to the office where Shiraishi was located, about half an hour later.

Judging from the attitude of passing on the message, it was not something urgent, so Kakashi walked all the way here, and he was not very eager.

After hearing the sound of 'come in', Kakashi opened the door and entered the office.

Sure enough, I saw Baishi working hard at the table.

As the minister of military affairs, the burden on him is not easy.

I just don't know if it's the ontology here.

As a minister of military affairs and a researcher, Shiraishi does not spend all his time here in the office, dealing with heavy official duties. Instead, he will leave a shadow clone to work instead of himself from time to time, while the main body will go to the research room to carry out research tasks.

Regarding Kakashi's 'late' attitude, Shiraishi didn't say anything, left and right are just a trivial matter, and what he asked Kakashi to do at this time is not a major matter that cannot be delayed.

"How about Sasuke Uchiha? Has the situation stabilized?"

Naturally, what Shiraishi asked was not about Sasuke's physical injuries. No matter how serious the injury was, even if it was a short leg or missing an arm, Shiraishi could heal it.

What he was asking about was Sasuke's mental state at this time.

"After venting, he has stabilized. It seems that after this incident, he has a deep understanding of where his limit is at this time. The next plan should be much more cautious."

Kakashi has already learned about the specific things from Obito, including the fact that Sasuke was defeated by Naruto, and he also learned about it in depth.

In his opinion, if Sasuke's simple act of revenge against Konoha hadn't been supported by the ghost country behind him, he might have been arrested as soon as he entered and became a guinea pig on the operating table.

Even if Konoha's current power is cut and cut again and again, it is still a huge monster for Sasuke who has just awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

If you were fighting a guerrilla outside, you might still have a chance of winning. If you rushed into the Konoha headquarters, you probably didn't think you could get out of it alive from the very beginning.

Kakashi grasped Sasuke's thoughts very accurately.

"That's good, then I won't go over there to express condolences in person. Liuli will probably go over to visit him in person to understand his specific situation at this time."

After all, the rising star of the Uchiha clan, as the head of the clan, Ruri naturally has high hopes for young people like Sasuke.

Although Sasuke has many flaws, the Uchiha clan, known for their strength, can perfectly cover up other flaws as long as they are strong enough.

No matter how chaotic the world is, powerful force is always an important weapon to protect individuals, families, and the country.

"So, why did you call me here at this time?"

Kakashi asked straight to the point.

As the security consultant of the intelligence department, Kakashi's task is not heavy, but it is not small.

After all, such a huge amount of information, even if it is just to scan the important part, it will take at least more than a month.

"How do you understand the external situation?"

Baishi didn't answer directly, but asked this way.

Kakashi considered his words carefully, but couldn't guess Shiraishi's intention at this time, so he could only reply: "I don't dare to say I understand 100%, but I do know 70% or 80%."

Even if it is important information, Kakashi should give priority to reading the important information developed in recent years, and take the lead in collecting and recording.

The outside that Shiraishi refers to refers to the small country battlefield controlled by the ghost country behind the scenes outside the ghost country.

Generally speaking, after the establishment of the one country, one village era, direct collisions between major countries rarely occurred.

Now that more than sixty years have passed, there have been four large-scale collisions between such big countries, but four times, that is, four Ninja World Wars.

Most of the time, the game between big countries and big countries is done by remote control of small countries behind the scenes, as chess players on the chessboard.

According to what Kakashi learned, the Kingdom of Demons has made direct "industrial investments" in 15 small countries, and there are countless indirect ones.

Compared with big countries, there are as many small countries as crucian carp crossing the river.

Some small countries, with only one castle and several villages and towns, can also be called countries.

"That's good. There are problems with the intelligence agencies of several countries. There are secret problems that cannot be found out only by the words, so I hope you will take someone to the countries mentioned on the list to check the intelligence systems established there. By the way, see if there are any little mice in it."

Kakashi is not only a security advisor established by Shiraishi in the intelligence department, but also has experience as a spy and Minister Konoha Anbu.

In this matter, Kakashi's handling ability is not the best in the kingdom of ghosts, but at least it will make Shiraishi feel at ease.

The intelligence department has always been an extremely important piece of the puzzle in Baishi's blueprint.

The initiation and preparation of any action is inseparable from various collected intelligence information.

In this place, if there is any problem, Baishi will not allow it, and he will never show mercy to the problematic personnel in it when necessary.

"Yes, yes, when will we leave? Now?"

Kakashi glanced at the list that Shiraishi handed over. It mentioned the intelligence branches of more than a dozen countries. There were as many as five or six of them outlined in red circles.

It may take a lot of time to check them all.

Baishi pondered for a while, and said, "It's best to draw the personnel from the Intelligence Department within three days."

Kakashi nodded and left Shiraishi's office.

The injury healed faster than Sasuke imagined. According to his guess, it would take a week to recover, but on the third day, Sasuke was able to get out of bed. Although he couldn't fully recover, at least he was able to move without hindrance, and the power he could use could reach 60 to 70 percent of that in his heyday, so he didn't need to lie on the hospital bed and accept the care of the nursing staff.

From this point of view, the medical technology of the ghost country is indeed very advanced, and a village like Yinyin Village cannot compare with it. In the past, he was injured and hospitalized at Orochimaru, and he needed to recover much longer than this time.

During this period, other than Kakashi and Uchiha Ruri, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan in the Demon Kingdom, the only people who came to visit him were Chonggo and the four who rushed back from the Fire Country after he evacuated Konoha.

During his attack on Konoha, they attracted Konoha's firepower from the outside, and they played hide-and-seek games with Konoha Ninja in the Kingdom of Fire for a while, which was also very embarrassing. If it hadn't been for Chonggo as their final card, they would probably have been annihilated under the siege of Konoha ninjas.

As a village under the rule of a big country, Konoha ninjas cannot be compared with a ninja like Sasuke, but for ninjas at the level of four people, once they are surrounded, they will basically die.

The four of them were originally a handful of elite ninjas in Yinyin Village, except for Orochimaru. Even so, they were still under the siege of the Konoha patrolling forces, unable to confront them head-on. It is conceivable that the strength gap between the big and small countries is not easy to smooth out such a difference in strength.

In short, the luck of misfortune is that they are all under the protection of Zhongwu, and they all came back alive without any danger.

"By the way, where's the witch from the ghost country? Why didn't you see her?"

After the four left, only Sasuke and Shigego were left in the ward.

Compared to his subordinate relationship with the four people, he and Chonggo are more like friends than subordinates, so the tone of speech has become much more casual.

"Are you talking about Hoshino Miko? As for her, I haven't seen her much since I came back, probably because I returned to my team."

Chongwu thought for a while, and said his guess.

The Hoshino Priestess who followed their team was not originally from their side, but was inserted in order to ensure that there would be medical ninjas in the team.

Now that Sasuke will not have any new actions for the time being, then the other party naturally has no reason to stay.

"Yeah?"

Sasuke's tone was rather regrettable.

That Hoshino Miko's medical ninjutsu is very superb. Among all the medical ninjas Sasuke has seen, the other party's medical ninjutsu is also very superb.

All the wounded in this operation were contracted by her, and she won the respect of everyone with her superb medical ninjutsu. Although the time spent together was short, the relationship was generally pleasant.

Originally, according to his idea, he hoped that the opponent would stay in his team even after the action, and continue to contribute his medical ability to his team.

Because he is the main combatant, Sasuke understands the importance of medical ninja better.

When necessary, they can also serve as a key turning point to reverse the outcome of the entire battlefield.

"So, next, does Sasuke have any new plans? I read the newspaper that was published recently. You killed two of Konoha's advisors, but the ninja Anshimura Danzo seems to be alive in Konoha."

Chongwu asked.

Shigego is no stranger to Danzo.

Whether it is from Orochimaru or Sasuke, he knows a lot about this person.

Konoha ninjas that focus on the dark side of the ninja world.

The Konoha root led by him is a ruthless and cold-blooded killing group in the darkest.

To some extent, he is the real culprit who destroyed the Konoha Uchiha clan.

"Regarding the revenge action against Danzo, it is temporarily suspended. When I have a perfect plan, I will go to Konoha again, personally take off his head, and pay homage to the dead clansmen."

Sasuke's tone suddenly turned cold.

Killing the two consultants, on the one hand, let him vent a lot of negative emotions in his heart, but Danzo was still alive, but at the same time, he was venting, and at the same time he was a little uncomfortable, always feeling like he was choking.

However, he won't be so rash next time.

This time, for his revenge, the Kingdom of Ghosts arranged a lot of manpower and material resources to provide him with this once-in-lifetime opportunity.

But such an opportunity, even the Kingdom of Ghosts, cannot arrange a second time for his personal revenge.

After all, he is just a descendant of the Konoha Uchiha clan now, and he is only a Jnin position in the Oni Land military. Although the Jonin is an elite in the army of the ghost country, there are hundreds of such elites in the ghost country. Generally speaking, they are still very light-hearted.

If you want to go further, gain status and the ability to avenge Danzo, you must continue to climb.

A Jnin position, but there is no way to meet his needs.

Fortunately, compared to other Jonin, he not only relies on the Uchiha clan of the Demon Kingdom, but also has his own cronies, so it is not too difficult to start.

With this kind of thinking, Sasuke instantly became much clearer about the future path.

Whether it is the Eye of Eternity or the right to speak that is equal to the strength, it should be in your hands.

"Is that so? If so, I can take a little rest."

Shigego nodded, he was a little tired after going out with Sasuke these days.

"No action for the time being, you can arrange the next time yourself. In addition, regarding the pet home you mentioned earlier, I have already asked someone to buy a store on the commercial street of Ziyuan City."

Sasuke always kept in mind Shigego's desire for a pet shop.

Then he told Chongwu the name of the pet shop, so that he could visit it anytime he had time.

After that, Sasuke went through the discharge procedures, left the military jurisdiction, and went to the southern suburb of Ziyuan City.

When he came to a mountain gate in the suburbs, Sasuke stopped and looked at the red torii gates on both sides. On the left side stood a stone tablet with the words "Nanga Shrine" written on it, surrounded by lush green trees.

In the hot summer, the light is full, and the birds are singing among the trees, chirping non-stop in the ears.

The Nanhe Shrine here is naturally not the Nanhe Shrine built in Konoha Village.

It is the Uchiha clan of the ghost country, who bought a piece of land and re-established the Nanga Shrine.

In the family history of the Uchiha clan, the Nanga Shrine, which is the gathering place of the clan, has been relocated many times due to the war.

However, the Nanga Shrine in Konoha Village fell for many years in the Uchiha clan genocide incident eight or nine years ago.

When attacking Konoha before, he glanced there from a distance. Weeds were overgrown there, and many buildings had long been abandoned, and no one cared about it.

It won't be long before Konoha's people will dismantle it.

Including those Uchiha clan lands that contain his cherished childhood memories.

Taking a deep breath, Sasuke put aside all kinds of distracting thoughts in his mind, stepped on the steps along the torii gate, and stepped up.

When I came to the shrine on the top of the mountain, I found that the place was surrounded by clouds and fog, and even the strong sunlight above the head could not penetrate. Even in the hot summer, it maintained a refreshing and cool atmosphere.

In the thin mist, two figures slowly walked out.

One of them was wearing a pitch-black ninja outfit, and it was Ruri.

Another person Sasuke also knew.

Wearing a red and white priestess costume, with long black hair hanging down, and a thickly painted fox mask on his face, it is the Hoshino priestess who joined his team before.

At this time, Hoshino Priestess, like Liuli, opened a pair of bright red three-god jade writing sharing eyes, piercing through the thin mist, shining in the eye holes of the mask. Standing quietly by Liuli's side, she had a bewitching sense of mystery in her red eyes.

Seeing this scene, Sasuke still doesn't understand the true identity of Hoshino Miko.

The opponent, like himself, is a ninja who inherited Uchiha blood, and his eyes have evolved to the level of Sangouyu.

The erratic mysterious aura all over the body, the strength is definitely not trivial, at least it is the beginning of the above ninja.

"I see, is she from here?"

Sasuke suddenly said.

What wandering witch, this identity is fake, the other party should be the maid on duty stationed at Nanhe Shrine.

Although the Nanga Shrine in the past inherited the name of the shrine, the staff on duty were basically idle members of the non-ninja clan.

The reason for coming to the country of ghosts is probably to follow the Romans and develop into a real shrine.

"Come in, the rally is about to begin."

After finishing speaking, Liuli turned around and walked towards the shrine with Hoshino Priestess.

Sasuke didn't hesitate, and followed in the footsteps of the two.

This meeting is very important to him, because it means that he is now officially included in the Uchiha system of the ghost country, and in the future he will also use this clan as the orthodox, not the so-called descendants of Konoha Uchiha.

As for Konoha's Uchiha... just go with the wind.

It was several hours after I walked out of Nanhe Shrine.

The light and shadow of dusk shroud the earth, and the breeze in the forest blows the leaves slowly, bringing a bit of pleasant refreshment.

However, as soon as he arrived at the mountain gate, he found that someone was already standing by a tree on one side, waiting for him to arrive.

"It seems that you are recovering well, and you can move around freely, recovering faster than I thought."

"You suddenly came to me at this time, what's the matter, Kakashi?"

Sasuke looked at the man leaning against the tree and said his name.

He always likes to directly explain his intentions, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush.

"There is indeed something. I have taken over an out-of-town investigation mission. I would like to invite you to act with me."

Kakashi also knew Sasuke's personality, so he directly stated his intentions.

"Investigation mission?"

"There are some hidden dangers in the intelligence system in some areas outside the Kingdom of Ghosts. The higher-ups asked me to investigate the cause of the problem. If there are 'rats', I will clean up these 'rats' by the way."

After Kakashi finished speaking, before Sasuke could give a response, he continued to say quickly: "Don't rush to refuse, I have heard about the Eternal Eye. Because there is a lack of perfect finished products here, the risk is unknown. There is an experimental simulation over there, and it will not be transplanted for you so soon."

Hearing what Kakashi said, Sasuke frowned, and then relaxed again.

Indeed, if there is no complete finished product as a target to observe, there may be some uncontrollable risk in experimenting rashly.

If the failure causes the Kaleidoscope Sharingan to be damaged, the loss outweighs the gain.

"When to set off?"

Since the Eye of Eternity cannot be obtained in a short time, Sasuke is not convenient for Kakashi's request.

Besides, anyway, this kind of attendance task can be regarded as a qualification, and it is also an important intelligence system. If it is completed, the resume will be much more glamorous.

"Tomorrow morning, you have one night to prepare. In addition, you must be mentally prepared. Some intelligence systems are built in countries where war broke out, and some scenes are somewhat inappropriate."

Before leaving, Kakashi reminded Sasuke of this sentence.

Sasuke scoffed at this.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me, I'm not Naruto's kind of idiot who always lives in ideals."

It's just a battlefield, he has already experienced the real hell.

Therefore, no matter what kind of battlefield he encounters, his heart will be as hard as iron, and he will not be shaken in the slightest.

Regarding this, Kakashi shrugged helplessly, turned and left.
