I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

"My name is Toumaru. I took this job on the black market! Yesterday, a masked middleman contacted me, saying a client had offered a large sum of money to lead bandits to rob and kill people in the outskirts of Konoha. Kill anyone who resists, leave no survivors..."

"I'm just trying to make a living, I don't even dare ask who my employer is! That's how it is on the black market, they don't ask where I come from... I don't want the money! I'll never take any more jobs near Konoha! I hope..."

"And then?" Hoshino Yu said coldly.

"I really don't know who he is! That man spoke without an accent, wore a gray cloth jacket, and only his eyes were visible!" Daowan trembled all over, his voice trembling with tears. "I'm just doing this for money, I have no grudge against Konoha... Grandpa, spare my life! I'll never dare to do it again! I'll hand over the deposit, please spare my life!"

"Then what."

"It's all gone! Really, it's all gone! I really don't have a single drop left..."

"Don't hand me over to the Dark Guard, don't hand me over to the Dark Guard..."

Seeing this, Hoshino Yu immediately unleashed his full Observation Haki.

However, after searching for a while, no other suspicious persons were found.

"Coming to cause trouble in Konoha? Is it Iwagakure, Sunagakure, or Amegakure?..." Hoshino Yu pondered to himself.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzo of the Salamander led Amegakure to try to become the sixth member of the Five Constants by fighting against five opponents, just like India in the previous life tried to join the Five Constants. It's highly likely that the other side sent someone to cause trouble.

However, based solely on the wandering ninja's account, he couldn't determine whether the other party was concealing crucial information, and he lacked other sophisticated interrogation techniques.

The best way is to bring them back to Konoha and hand them over to the Anbu interrogation and torture department to ensure that nothing is overlooked.

As for the other party begging for mercy...

As a wandering ninja with a bounty of 100,000 taels, this is what he looks like after being captured.

You can't trust them at all.

If you want to kill, you must be prepared to be killed.

If it weren't for my superior skills, I would be the one who's dead today.

However, if he didn't have the strength, he wouldn't have intercepted them halfway.

Hoshino Yuichi delivered a karate chop to the back of the neck, knocking the opponent unconscious. He then took a rope from his ninja tool bag, tied the opponent up, and hoisted him onto his shoulder.

He glanced at the four corpses on the ground and then sped off towards Konoha.

There are too many people to carry it all by themselves, so let the patrolling ninjas come and sweep the floor.

......

Before long, Hoshino Yu arrived at the outskirts of Konoha Village with Toumaru.

Once out of the forest, seeing the light filtering through the gate, he carried the unconscious Daowan and strode straight toward it.

Before they even got close, the shouts of the Konoha gatekeeper ninjas could be heard.

"Halt! State your identity!"

"Genin Hoshino Yu captured this suspicious ninja while clearing out bandits in the suburbs and has brought him back to the village for further processing."

Without wasting any words, Hoshino Yu directly produced the mission token.

Once their identities were confirmed, two figures wearing cloaks and animal masks appeared in the distance.

The gatekeeper ninja wisely withdrew, leaving Hoshino Yu as the person involved.

"Anbu?" Hoshino Yu thought to himself.

The two quickly approached and spoke coldly:

"Please hand the person over to us."

Hoshino Yu nodded slightly, then handed the sword pill he was carrying on his shoulder to the two of them. He then recounted the information they had revealed, including the four bandit corpses lying there quietly.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, so it doesn't really matter whether it's assigned to the Root or the Dark Division.

After the ANBU ninja left, he didn't linger and headed straight for Orochimaru's residence.

A moment later, seeing that Orochimaru's house was still slightly lit, Hoshino Yu jumped into the front yard before knocking on the door and saying:

"Teacher, are you asleep?"

"Come in."

Hearing a lazy, androgynous voice coming from inside, Hoshino Yu pushed open the door.

Seeing Orochimaru kneeling and sitting in front of the table, with two cups of tea on the table, he didn't stand on ceremony, went straight up, picked up the tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Orochimaru scrutinized him for a moment, then sniffed lightly, detecting a trace of blood. He spoke calmly:

"Murder?"

"Yes." Hoshino Yu breathed heavily, put down his teacup, wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, and sat down cross-legged. "Four bandits, and they brought back a wandering ninja who was suspected of being a spy. He was just taken away by a senior member of the Anbu."

"Don't dwell on it. Every ninja experiences that nauseating, panicked feeling after killing someone. You'll get used to it."

"Those unnecessary emotions will never help you; they will only hold you back."

Orochimaru looked at Hoshino Yu and said calmly, without any pity in his words.

Goodness, is the young snake already this cold and aloof?

Hoshino Yu looked at Orochimaru and couldn't help but think.

How intense must World War II have been, aside from the fact that Nawaki and Kato had broken up, for Orochimaru to want to pursue immortality?

As for the murder...

He doesn't feel anything at the moment.

Killing is a means, not an end.

Moreover, there was a reason for it; it was not killing for the sake of killing.

As for turning into a killing machine or something, he said there was absolutely no need to worry.

I became stronger because of self-preservation and to protect those I care about, not to enjoy the thrill of slaughter.

Hoshino Yu has always known what she wants.

In this other world, I will have a wonderful life of my own.

It's similar to the careless thinking of someone like Shui Zhu.

The ninja world is a deformed world, but he will not let himself become a deformed person because of it.

As for what will happen to that sword, that's not something he needs to worry about.

Does this count as espionage?

Strictly speaking, yes.

If you accept a mission from a foreign ninja, you must bear the consequences.

After a moment of silence, he rubbed his cheek and smiled at Orochimaru, saying:

"Orochimaru-sensei, you don't need to worry about that. I'm pretty good at adjusting my mindset."

Seeing this, Orochimaru said nothing more, but silently filled the empty cup on the table with tea.

......

Two o'clock in the morning.

Hoshino Yu had just arrived home when he noticed that the lights were off at Minato's house next door. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to disturb them and went straight inside after opening the door.

After taking a shower and sorting out my chaotic thoughts, I dried my hair with static electricity and then lay down on the bed.

He didn't mention to the Anbu that Tomaru was sent by either Iwagakure or Sunagakure.

The intelligence information was just my own speculation.

Hoshino Yu never considered himself to be superior to others in terms of intelligence or anything like that.

He wasn't completely ignorant about politics, but it was certainly not something he could easily master, and he couldn't strategize and plan everything perfectly.

Aside from having a bunch of cheat codes, their only innate advantage is the large amount of information about the ninja world in the original work.

"Let's check the water column tomorrow and see if we can refresh the One Piece quest."

"Our current strength is insufficient to face the impending war."

Looking at the task panel that hadn't refreshed yet, Hoshino Yu shook her head, turned off the light, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

......

The Hokage Building office.

A member of the secret service stood bowing before the table and said in a cold voice:

"Lord Hokage, the information obtained from the interrogation of the spy ninja we brought back matches Hoshino Yu's confession perfectly. Furthermore, according to our investigation, his targets were completely unprepared when he attacked, and the four bandits died on the spot."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his pipe between his right and a light puff of smoke, spoke in a calm tone:

"Yu? I understand. What kind of ninjutsu did you use?"

"No ninjutsu was used."

"Oh? What did you use?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked curiously, turning to look at the ANBU ninja.

"Extremely swift swordsmanship, capable of killing with a single blow."
