The group walked and stopped frequently, and Tamamo Hotaru had no idea where Shinji was going. She only noticed that every now and then, he would stop to check something.

"Could it be that they've found some clue?"

Think more!

Shinji wasn't actually looking in the direction the monsters had left; he was looking for a nearby underground gold exchange.

When he first entered the Land of Vegetables, he saw the sign for the underground gold exchange on a certain sign. The rest was to find the specific location based on the sign.

People who don't usually deal with underground money exchange agencies are completely unaware of these things. They either get led there by acquaintances or they just have to try their luck.

Shinji is clearly a seasoned veteran.

His reason for wanting to find the location of the underground gold exchange was simple: rather than wasting his time searching randomly, he might as well spend some money to buy information.

Since there are underground gold exchange shops nearby, they have no reason not to know about such a big thing that happened in the Land of Vegetables.

This is one of the reasons why Shinji later felt it was worth a try to save people.

If even underground money exchange offices can't give him the information he wants, then this matter will likely just be dropped.

After another series of twists and turns, the group surprisingly found a toilet in a nearby canyon...

That's right!

A public toilet located in a deserted canyon!

It's absolutely outrageous! They opened the door for someone who's absolutely outrageous! It's outrageous to the extreme!

It goes without saying that anyone with a sound mind wouldn't build a public toilet in such a godforsaken place.

So there's definitely something wrong here!

"We're here, let's go."

Shinji didn't explain anything and just led his men inside.

Hidan and Tobi, who were already used to this situation, didn't think there was anything wrong with having a public toilet here, and they both knew what kind of place this was.

Even Sasuke, who had gone through a lot with Shinji, remained calm and composed.

Only Tamamo Hotaru is still completely bewildered!

"What are you standing there for? Let's go."

Shinji called out, and then Tamamo Hotaru suddenly blushed and said awkwardly, "I'm fine now, I don't want to go to the toilet, you guys go ahead."

This public restroom is bizarre; there are no signs indicating whether it's for men or women at the entrance.

Shinji shook his head speechlessly. "You have to learn to see through appearances to the essence. I've been searching for so long, did you think I was just looking for a public toilet with a small penis?"

After saying that, he went straight in, without paying attention to the other person's expression.

Tamamo Hotaru was immediately puzzled. Could there be something else going on inside?

With that thought in mind, she hesitated for a moment, then went inside.

Then we discovered it really was a public restroom...

But Shinji and the others who had just gone in have all disappeared!

In just a few seconds, could someone really die while using the restroom?

Of course not!

In other words, there must be a hidden secret room inside.

She made a stupid mistake again!

Tamamo Hotaru couldn't help but smile bitterly, unsure whether she should leave or what to do next.

[Chapter 300 Intelligence]

Pushing open the hidden door and entering the secret room, one finds that this place truly holds a different world.

underground gold exchange, underground gold exchange...

Most of them are underground, of course!

However, this is not absolute; there are a few exceptions.

Shinji led his men downhill until they finally arrived inside the gold exchange.

The place wasn't lively at all; on the contrary, it was quite deserted.

Firstly, business might not be good lately, and secondly, it might be due to the location. After all, this place is relatively remote, and generally, apart from 'regular customers,' no one would specifically come here.

Shinji didn't care about any of that. He knocked on the small window and said directly that he wanted to buy information about the attack on the Country of Vegetables by cursed spirits.

The other side didn't mince words and immediately gave a number.

Shinji nodded, paid the money, and after verifying that everything was correct, the small window immediately closed.

However, it was opened again less than two minutes later, and a scroll was handed out from inside.

Shinji took the item and opened it to examine it on the spot.

The document details the entire incident in which the Land of Vegetables was attacked by a monster suspected to be a cursed spirit, including the time and specific details.

This raises suspicions that their intelligence agents might have been hiding there and witnessed the entire incident.

Shinji quickly finished reading the intelligence report. It was largely consistent with what he had previously learned, and it added many details, giving him a clear understanding of the number and strength of those cursed spirits.

Then he knocked on the small window again, "This time I want the departure routes of those cursed spirits, and it would be even better if you could tell me their final resting place."

Since the other party knows so much, Shinji will not hold back.

With so many cursed spirits leading thousands of civilians away, it's impossible for them to have vanished without a trace.

If given enough time, he believes he can find out the truth himself.

But what we lack now is time. After all, no one can guarantee whether these people are still alive. The later we go, the smaller the hope becomes.

The other party seemed slightly surprised as they glanced at Shinji, then quoted a price several times higher than before. They must have paid a considerable price to obtain this information, and now that they had finally found a sucker, they were naturally going to rip them off.

However, Shinji didn't care about the money and settled the bill readily.

What he feared was that the other party wouldn't offer a price at all, which meant they didn't have the information.

The small window opened again, and another scroll was handed out.

Shinji opened it and found it was a map, which not only marked the route the cursed spirits took when they retreated, but also indicated their final location.

This saved him a lot of energy!

And after the transaction was completed, the people inside suddenly spoke up, "You're going to rescue someone?"

"Of course... no, rescuing people is just a side effect; my main target is these 'cute' monsters."

Upon hearing this, the person inside the window immediately grinned, revealing their large yellow teeth.

"This isn't the first time these monsters you've inquired about have done something like this. It's not like no one has tried to eliminate them before; even several Jonin have perished. This shows the monsters there are no ordinary creatures. Even so, are you still prepared to go and die?"

"Oh? Now that you mention it, I'm even more interested. After I take down those monsters, I can tell you all the details."

"Haha, interesting. But I'm not interested in the story. If you really manage to do it, remember to bring back the corpse of the strongest monster. I'll buy it back for a high price."

"I'll try my best."

"What's wrong? Weren't you so confident just now? Now you're scared?"

"What I mean is to try to leave it with a complete corpse. If I accidentally go too far, then there's nothing I can do."

"As expected of the Demon God Akagi, I believe you can do it this time."

Shinji paused for a moment, "Oni-God Akagi? You know me?"

The other person smiled mysteriously, "This is your new name, and many people have expressed their approval. As for recognizing you, it shouldn't be surprising, since you don't seem to be trying to disguise yourself."

"I see. Considering that the name 'Onijin Akagi' is somewhat pleasant to the ear, I will not cause you any trouble this time. You should already know about my information."

The people inside didn't think Shinji was joking; instead, they said seriously, "You can rest assured about that. You've cooperated with our gold exchange so many times, and everything has always gone smoothly. That's a fact, isn't it?"

"So, out of sincerity, I've also prepared a gift for you as compensation."

"Gift?"

"A piece of information that you might find interesting."

Tell me about it.

"Your massacre of the Cloud Village ninja and the murder of the Daimyo of the Land of Salt have been exposed. Before you arrived, the Cloud Village had already issued an official warrant for your arrest with a high bounty, which will probably attract a lot of people. Moreover, the Cloud Village also contacted our people and bought all your information, hehe."

Shinji laughed too, "You guys are really greedy. You just sold me out, and now you dare to use this kind of thing to do favors? Aren't you afraid I'll expose your rotten apples?"

"There's probably nothing we can do about it, after all, this is the business we're in. As long as you can afford it, even if you just want to know what color the Hokage's underwear is, we can find a way to tell you."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in an old geezer's underwear. Next time someone wants to buy my information, you know what to do."

"Hehe, you've seen our sincerity. If there's anyone who doesn't want things to go wrong for you, then our gold exchange is definitely one of them. After all, our boss really appreciates you and your colleagues, and we could try some deeper cooperation if the opportunity arises."

"Interesting, but my fees aren't cheap."

The person inside immediately smiled reservedly, "Our gold exchange is so poor that all we have left is money, so please don't be shy when you come."

Shinji neither confirmed nor denied it, "Let's go."

As he went up, Afei seemed quite satisfied with the result. The release of this wanted notice had almost definitively labeled the Evil God Cult.

Furthermore, reconciliation with Kumogakure is virtually impossible; those martial arts factions are all vindictive, especially the Fourth Raikage...

This wave is in the bag!

As Shinji emerged from the hidden door, he saw Tamamo Hotaru acting suspiciously in the restroom, her ear pressed against the wall.

Is this some kind of quirk?

Aren't you worried about getting dirty?

Jiaoyue stayed outside and refused to come in.

After making eye contact, Tamamo Hotaru immediately stood up straight with extreme embarrassment. "I...I just wanted to test the soundproofing here."

"Here?"

Shinji's expression immediately changed. Who in their right mind would care about the soundproofing in a public restroom?
