Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 191 True Talk-no-Jutsu

Aokiji has a strained relationship with the village ninjas, and Tsunade hopes that this capture operation will allow Aokiji to perform well, which will help improve the village ninjas' impression of him.

The two Konoha ninja realized that Tsunade intended to recruit Aokiji to carry out this mission; otherwise, she wouldn't have specifically instructed him to do so.

They exchanged a glance, and just as they were about to say something, Tsunade spoke first: "Aokiji is very strong. If he joins us, we can increase the chances of success for this mission."

Tsunade was adamant and insisted on her decision, which put the two of them in a difficult position.

Tsunade's identity was too special to be directly rejected, so the two turned to Aokiji and said in a deep voice, "Can we trust you?"

"You don't have to believe me," Aokiji said casually for the first half of his sentence, but seriously for the second half: "but you should believe Tsunade."

The two Konoha ninjas ended their conversation with a sigh. This mission could not afford to fail, and having an extra person was better than nothing, so they decided not to obstruct them any further.

After Aokiji received approval, he followed them to a relatively secluded place, where Tsunade began to explain things to him.

After listening, Aokiji roughly understood.

After receiving the information that he had deliberately leaked, the person from the Land of Fire arrived at the scene, which led to Tsunade and the others' presence.

"Why are there only four of you?"

Tsunade shook her head and chuckled, "How could that be? This capture operation is of great importance. The rest of our companions are surveying the terrain and setting up ambushes to intercept them along any possible escape routes."

Aokiji was not surprised by this, and it was understandable that they would put on such a show, since the Phantom Troupe's kidnapping target this time was too special, and it was normal for them to react this way.

"So, what's your attitude?" Tsunade asked. "This is a chance to redeem yourself."

"Is that even a question?"

Aokiji raised his arm and said indignantly, "These kidnappers who make a living by robbing and plundering deserve to be killed by everyone. The Phantom Troupe has lost all conscience, and I will never let them live under the same sky."

The two Konoha ninjas were taken aback, not expecting Aokiji to react so strongly.

Aokiji realized he had gone too far and chuckled dryly, "When do we start?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"Understood." Aokiji deliberately delayed things for several days to give the daimyo enough time to gather manpower.

"Aokiji..."

Hearing Tsunade call out to him specifically, Aokiji was taken aback: "Is there anything else?"

"It's nothing..."

Tsunade shook her head. She couldn't bring herself to talk about what had happened to the Uchiha clan, fearing her boyfriend wouldn't be able to accept it.

His hesitant expression piqued Aokiji's curiosity: "What's wrong?"

Tsunade shook her head: "Come back to the village more often when you have time, and don't go out unless you have to."

"Yes, I will."

Aokiji assumed Tsunade wanted him to come back to the village more often because he was always out having fun, resulting in them spending too little time together. So he didn't take it to heart.

………………

Inside a private room at Heaven on Earth.

The eight members of the Phantom Troupe sat around a round table.

On the round table, carved plates and exquisite dishes filled the large table.

The eight people hesitated to pick up their chopsticks, waiting for the two to arrive.

At their seats, Xiaofu and Jiguang, who were sitting next to each other, were talking:

"Why aren't they here yet? Are they going to stand us up?"

"That shouldn't be the case, we already made an agreement."

Ji Guang gently tapped the cup with a spoon to remind his team members that they would smash the cup as a signal later.

The other group members nodded slightly. Driven by the enormous profit, they felt it was worth the risk to kill those two people and take all the property for themselves.

Just then, the door creaked open and two people walked in, one big and one small, namely Aokiji and Kakuzu.

Aokiji looked around at everyone, then at the delicacies on the table: "Wow, this is quite a feast."

Ji Guang greeted him warmly: "Ye Wang, you've finally arrived! Everyone's been waiting for you."

Aokiji nodded calmly and walked to the empty seat that had been specially reserved for him. Suneo pulled out a chair for him.

Aokiji didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down, followed by Kakuzu who was nearby.

Seeing that the two were not speaking, the atmosphere became a little awkward. Ji Guang took the initiative to speak: "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

Aokiji moved his chopsticks, picking at the fish dish closest to him. "It's nothing. I was just wondering if you guys would poison these dishes and then eat all of our food."

In an instant, the room became completely silent; they had indeed considered this matter...

Yoshimitsu grinned, about to explain, but Aokiji beat him to it, opening his mouth and laughing loudly: "Just kidding, look how scared you guys are. Let's eat, let's eat."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a while, and with a satisfied look on his face, commented, "It tastes good."

The group, feeling guilty, secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Haha, Ye Wang, you really love to joke."

Aokiji joked, "Since you guys are all silent, I'm just trying to liven things up a bit."

His public persona is described as unpredictable within the organization.

Ji Guang followed up with a forced smile, saying, "It's not because you haven't said much that everyone thinks you're in a bad mood, which is why you haven't been making a sound."

"How could I possibly be in a bad mood? After we pull off this job, we can live a carefree life for a while."

Aokiji laughed heartily and said generously, "Bring me the wine."

"It's already prepared for you." Yoshimitsu poured Aokiji a glass of wine.

After a glass of wine, Aokiji became more and more talkative.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the lively atmosphere, the room became quite noisy.

"Drink, keep drinking..."

Just as Aokiji was getting into the swing of things, Yoshimitsu felt the time was right, took a breath, and stepped forward to ask, "King Ye, I have something to discuss with you."

"What is it? I'm in a good mood today, and I'll definitely agree to anything within my power."

Aokiji was in high spirits and seemed ready to agree to anything, but then the other person suddenly said something that made him solemn.

"What? You want to split the profits 50/50 again? Didn't we agree on that from the beginning?"

Ji Guang retorted indignantly, "Yes, you said it would be split 30/70, but you didn't say that it would still be split 30/70 after new members joined."

Aokiji put down his chopsticks and said coldly, "What? You want to rebel? Don't forget, you're all our defeated opponents."

Ji Guang shook his head: "I don't want to rebel, I just want to take back what is rightfully mine."

Aokiji firmly refused: "Don't even dream about it. It's a 30/70 split. That's the rule, and it can't be broken."

Seeing that the negotiations were fruitless and that continuing like this would be pointless, Jiguang decided to turn on Jiguang and smashed the cup on the ground.

Upon receiving the coded message, the organization members stood up abruptly, and then a large group of people poured into the room.

Aokiji and Kakuzu calmly observed these people.

Ji Guang said fiercely, "Even if it's just the two of you, it would be difficult to deal with all of us at once."

When he said this with confidence, he wanted to enjoy the change in their expressions, but he didn't expect that the other party's next move would leave him dumbfounded.

Aokiji stood up, casually shaking himself, "Difficult? Damn, then let's not do it."

As he spoke, as if possessed by Brother Crow, he lit a cigarette in his mouth and overturned the table.

Everyone: ? ? ?

Ji Guang retorted, "Night King, don't go too far! Do you know where my nickname, 'Mangzi's Mang,' comes from?"

"Want a 50/50 chance? Let me tell you, that's wishful thinking."

At this point, there's nothing left to discuss; a battle is imminent.

"Let's do it."

Ji Guang roared, his voice as loud as thunder. In an instant, everyone rushed forward. Taking advantage of the cover, Xiao Fu quickly formed a hand seal, and his mouth, which was originally the Thunder God's Mouth, suddenly grew longer and stabbed fiercely at Qingzhi.

"Talk-no-jutsu: The Woodpecker Technique"

Aokiji reacted too late and was stabbed with a hole. Seeing this, the members of the organization grinned, realizing they had succeeded.

Then, the next second, everyone was stunned and turned into white smoke.

This is a shadow clone...
