Chapter 31 The Intuition of an Undercover Agent
Chapter 31 The Intuition of an Undercover Agent
Tetsuya sat there and told Izuna about unofficial history, from the intense bromance between the brothers Hagoromo and Hamura to the love-hate relationship between Ashura and Indra, and from the mythological era to the era of the Ninja Sect.
Perhaps Tetsuya's words were too absurd, so Izuna listened in a daze, and he didn't refute them, but just sat there listening.
"Let me tell you, that old fox Liudao is biased. When he was choosing a successor, he put forward a test for his two sons to complete."
This inheritance test was clearly intended for both Asura and Indra. Indra completed the test by himself according to the rules, while Asura only completed it with the help of others.
Logically speaking, Asura should have broken the rules, but the Six Paths Elder retorted that Indra did not understand love or what unity was, and ultimately chose Asura.
Tell me what's going on here. Isn't this old fox, Liudao Yanzi, being unreasonable?
"Forehead......"
Listening to Tetsuya brag, even the usually calm and composed Izuna couldn't help but speak up.
"Although you're not a ninja, Tetsuya, you also train in chakra. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk about the Sage of Six Paths like that?"
"Hey, what's the big deal?"
Tetsuya waved his hand dismissively, took a sip of tea, and then spat out a mouthful of tea leaves without any regard for his image.
"I was just saying that casually. Besides, Old Man Six Paths Swallow is no longer here. What, does he think he can come out of the Pure Land and beat me up?"
"Um, the Sage of Six Paths really is in the Pure Land."
As a soul that returned from the Pure Land, although he had never seen the Sage of Six Paths, he had heard from souls in the Pure Land that the Sage of Six Paths truly existed.
"Relax, I told you it's okay. If he really comes out and hits me, doesn't that mean I was right and he got angry? If I wasn't right, why would he be so anxious?"
While the two were chatting, Nakamura and Mikiko, who were upstairs, came down the stairs supporting each other.
Nakamura appeared to be drunk, but otherwise there was nothing amiss.
Mikiko's makeup was a bit messy, and there were some red marks on her neck, as if the whole village had done something to her.
Tetsuya and Izuna both realized at a glance that Nakamura had been controlled by genjutsu. Although this genjutsu was very well hidden, even the most secretive genjutsu was useless in front of the Sharingan.
The marks on Mikiko's body were merely a disguise; after all, it would be strange if nothing happened when she was alone in a room with a notorious playboy.
However, Tetsuya didn't mind and just smiled and went up to greet him.
"Have you two eaten and drunk well?"
Mikiko remained silent, but Nakamura, still slightly drunk, spoke up.
"Hahaha, the food and drinks that Boss Chiba added are excellent, they deserve a reward."
Upon hearing the word "reward," the guard who had been waiting at the door immediately stepped forward, took out a silver note, and placed it on the table.
Tetsuya's smile widened as he glanced at the number on the banknote.
"Oh dear, thank you for the gift, young master Nakamura."
"Haha, no problem, no problem, you deserve a reward for doing a good job."
Nakamura laughed heartily, looking all rich and powerful, since all his expenses would be covered by the Nakamura family.
"Young Master Nakamura has had too much to drink; it's time for him to go back and rest."
Mikiko spoke up at the opportune moment, signaling to Nakamura that it was time to leave.
Tetsuya smiled.
"Take care, you two. Come again when you have time. Don't worry, I know all the rules. No one else will know what happened in the room."
As Tetsuya spoke, his gaze swept over the red marks on Mikiko's neck, and the guards lowered their heads as well. It was their basic rule as guards not to look at what they shouldn't.
Mikiko, however, realized something, and a strange look flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and left with Nakamura.
"You little rascal, you're playing pretty fancy games."
Tetsuya shook his head as he watched Nakamura and Mikiko leave.
Izuna said, with his hands clasped behind his back.
"It seems that the other party wants to control the Nakamura family by controlling the young master of the Nakamura family. I guess what they will do next is to support the young master of the Nakamura family to succeed as the head of the family."
"fine."
Tetsuya took out an abacus from behind the counter and started playing with it.
"Although the Nakamura family has a certain status in the capital, in the end, they are just a second-rate family."
"Thud!"
"Put all the abacus beads back in their places," Tetsuya said, looking at Izuna.
"This is the capital of the Land of Fire. It lacks everything, but it has no shortage of nobles and rich people."
A second-rate family can at most help the Land of Lightning or the Hidden Cloud Village to make some money or resources.
It won't change anything significant. After all, the real power in the Land of Fire lies with the daimyo and the first-rate nobles close to him. Your second-rate family is nothing.
Hanamichi Ichime, the top Kabukicho in the capital.
At that moment, two masked ninjas appeared in front of Mikiko in her room.
These two ninjas were tall and didn't look like they were from the Land of Fire. Although they weren't wearing headbands, it was easy to guess that they were from the Land of Lightning.
"Have you thoroughly investigated the background of that hotel owner?"
"My lord, the investigation has been completed."
"explain."
"The hotel owner is named Chiba Tetsuya. He is the only son of the Chiba clan of Konoha. Because he did not have the qualifications to become a ninja, he chose to go into business."
He originally ran a ramen shop in Konoha, but the business became so successful that he opened a branch in the capital...
These two ninjas investigated very thoroughly, uncovering how Tetsuya built his business from a small ramen shop in Konoha to the largest restaurant in the capital of the Land of Fire.
After all, these things are not secrets; anyone who asks an older resident of the capital could find out.
"As for the staff in his shop, the chef was personally trained by Tetsuya Chiba, and most of the others are locals recruited."
Mikiko's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"A fallen surviving member of a ninja clan, lacking the aptitude for ninja, chose to go into business?"
"Yes, sir. I have investigated and confirmed that the Chiba family was indeed one of the many families that followed Hashirama Senju back then. After Hashirama Senju founded Konoha, they were basically all killed in action."
Only Chiba Tetsuya, who could not refine chakra and therefore could not become a ninja, remained.
According to the Chiba family tradition, if Chiba Tetsuya had also been able to train, he would probably have died on the battlefield long ago.
Based on the results of the investigation, this Chiba Tetsuya seems to be just an ordinary person, not even a ninja.
But her intuition told her that this Chiba Tetsuya was no simple man either.
“No, I still think there’s something wrong here. You guys should find another opportunity to test Chiba Tetsuya and see if he really is a ninja.”
"Yes!" *2
