In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

"Now that we've prepared our ninja tools, let's set off!"

Before leaving,

Tianyu then spoke to his subordinates.

"During the mission, you must remain vigilant at all times."

One must not let anything affect one's mindset; remaining calm is the first principle of being an ANBU ninja!

If your performance in this mission is not satisfactory to me, then get out of my squad immediately. I don't keep useless people in my squad!

Alright, let's go now!

Unbeknownst to them,

Tianyu already exuded the powerful aura of a superior.

Chapter 62 Mission: The Land of Hot Springs

A few days later,

Tengo led his secret service squad to the Land of Hot Springs.

The spies that Konoha planted in the Land of Hot Water have not sent back any normal intelligence reports for three months.

Tenyu's mission this time is to find out the situation of the spies in the Land of Hot Springs.

As a squad leader in the ANBU,

Before setting off, Tianyu had done his homework thoroughly.

The unusual way the spy from the Land of Hot Springs is sending back information to the village... there's a high chance that something bad has happened to this spy!

The Land of Hot Water is located not far to the east of the Land of Fire.

The country itself is weak, making it much safer to travel and undertake missions in other places.

However, Tianyu did not completely underestimate this mission.

After carefully instructing their members, the team headed directly to the secret hideout in the Land of Hot Springs to meet with their spies.

On the edge of the famous hot spring town in Yu-no-kuni, in a small wooden tavern.

Tianyu, along with Rikui, Qing, and Haidao, found a table and sat down. Soon, a waiter came to serve them.

"One soft-boiled egg, please!"

That's what Tianyu said.

"I want a soft-boiled egg with a runny egg white and a solidified yolk!"

The shop assistant was speechless after hearing this.

With a twitching smile on his face, he said, "Sir, you're joking. This onsen egg doesn't have a solidified yolk and a runny egg white."

Just as Tianyu was about to reply, Qing spoke up first: "Let's go, this doesn't seem to be the right place."

Tianyu grabbed him and gestured for Qing to sit down.

I smiled at the shop assistant and said, "We do have these onsen eggs, but not many people have seen them. It's understandable that you're young and haven't heard of them."

"Could you please ask your boss here?"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The shop assistant replied and then hurriedly walked deeper into the store.

Onsen egg... the egg white is runny, the yolk is solidified.

This is a secret code that Konoha uses to communicate with its spies lurking in the Land of Hot Water, which they exchange every few days.

The meeting place is near the hot spring town of Yunokuni. Order a hot spring egg with a strange request there. Even if you go to the wrong person, it is unlikely to attract their attention.

If the other party doesn't respond to the code, getting up and leaving immediately will only increase their suspicion.

And... the rendezvous point is here.

This is where you have the best chance of getting in touch with your contact.

"Dear guests, I'm so sorry, but we have never heard of any type of onsen egg where the egg white is runny and the yolk is fully cooked."

After a while

A middle-aged man, led by a shop assistant, came to the Tianyu table.

"Team... Tianyu, let's go. We've come to the wrong store. Let's go to another one."

Upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, Sunflower couldn't help but stand up and leave.

The shopkeeper bowed repeatedly and apologized.

"I'm so sorry, I've neglected everyone."

Tianyu's eyes flashed.

"Fine, fine, then let's make the onsen tamago (hot spring eggs) that you can make."

After speaking, he reassured the members of the secret service again and gestured for them to sit down.

Heavenly Emperor...

He saw the shopkeeper, who was bowing repeatedly, secretly make a gesture, a gesture that indicated a secret signal!

As he gestured for his team members to sit down, Tian Yu also responded to his boss with a hand signal.

"Please wait a moment, guests!"

A short while later, a normal hot spring egg was served.

After they finished eating, the shopkeeper invited Tianyu and the others over and jokingly revealed the secret code!

Tenyu also uttered the next coded message amidst his joking remarks.

The shop owner also answered them one by one.

The contact... has been found!

That's the shop owner!

After both parties confirmed their identities, the shop owner apologized to Tianyu: "I'm sorry!"

"The situation has been too tense lately, so I have to be more cautious."

Tianyu frowned, then asked, "Konoha hasn't received any normal reports from you for three months. What's going on?"

"That's how it is..."

The shop owner began to explain their current situation to Tianyu and his group.

Recently, a mysterious force has suddenly appeared in the Land of Hot Water, opening a very lucrative casino there.

Faced with the sudden appearance of this mysterious casino, Konoha spies also need to find out its origins.

Can...

After going to the casino, the spies would only order some food when they returned to the shop, but they would no longer exchange information or discuss any situation with the shop owner, treating him like a stranger.

problem occurs!

The shop owner guessed that the spy had most likely been taken into custody by the people at the mysterious casino.

After that, more and more strange customers came to the store, making all sorts of random gestures at him, and various unrecognizable secret codes followed.

During this process, occasionally one or two people will accidentally utter part of the code, and then... the rest of the code will be completely wrong!

So the shop owner became cautious.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Guards arrive, he dared not relax his vigilance even after they answered a secret signal and made the corresponding hand gesture.

They joked around with Tianyu, going back and forth until they got all the passwords right before they finally relaxed.

Of course... there's another reason why the shop owner never let his guard down amidst the complicated secret codes... that's because of the contact person, Tianyu.

Because Tianyu is really too young.

Until he answered all the coded messages correctly, he really couldn't be sure that the still-young-looking Tianyu in front of him was the contact.

"A mysterious force...a casino..."

Upon hearing the shop owner's information, Tianyu pondered.

"How strong is the person we arrested?"

Tianyu refers to that spy.

The shop owner immediately responded, "He is currently an elite Chunin, but his strength is comparable to that of a Jonin."

"A Jonin, huh..."

Tianyu fell into deep thought again.

Seeing Tenyu's expression, Sunflower couldn't help but blink her big eyes and ask, "Captain, what are you thinking about?"

"Team...Captain?"

"He's the captain?!"

The shop owner was taken aback.

Sunflower turned to look at the shop owner and nodded sheepishly, "Yes, he's the captain of our team."

"I..."

Shop owner Yu Ning,

With all the coded messages matching, he accepted that Tenyu was an ANBU agent sent by Konoha to make contact.

Although the person he contacted was Tianyu, and the person he spoke with was Tianyu.

But... what's wrong with the captain?

This boy in front of me doesn't look to be more than 15 years old!

So young... a Dark Guard captain?!

The shop owner's eyes began to dart around, and he subconsciously took two steps back, distancing himself from Tianyu and his group.
