The Ordinary Life of a Clear-Ryu Ninja Chapter 694

After leaving the Staff Department, Toji brought Jugo back to the Anbu Security Department’s base.

This was the former Root’s underground base, which had now become the Anbu Security Department’s core office area. Walking into the conference room, Itachi, Shisui, and Asa had already been waiting there.

After Toji sat down, he informed the three of the plan he had discussed with Shikaku.

The news of the Akatsuki organization made everyone present frown, but after Toji finished speaking of Shikaku’s strategy, everyone relaxed slightly.

Itachi listened, his eyes thoughtful, “This plan is good. It avoids direct conflict between Konoha and the Akatsuki organization, achieving the effect of killing with a borrowed knife. While slowing down the Akatsuki’s construction progress, it also diverts their attention from the Scorpion incident. I can be responsible for the implementation of the first half of the plan.”

Shisui nodded, his expression serious, “Asa and I can be responsible for the specific latter half, the mission to destroy the supply lines. We will personally lead people to impersonate Hidden Rain Village ninjas to ensure the thoroughness of the operation.”

Asa nodded silently.

The four then finalized the plan and assigned their respective tasks.

After the meeting, Shisui walked over to Toji and whispered, “Toji, all seven spies Orochimaru left behind in the village have been arrested and are now held in the base’s prison cells.”

Toji nodded and followed Shisui to the prison area. Jugo was still waiting outside the door, amusing himself.

In a single cell, Sabin sat in the corner. Seeing Toji enter, his eyes were complex. Toji walked to the iron bars and stared at Sabin, “Sabin, I know you’ve always admired Orochimaru, but you should be clear that Orochimaru no longer exists.” In Orochimaru’s memories, there was a part about Sabin, so Toji had some understanding of him.

Sabin looked up, his voice low, “Lord Minister, I know my situation, and I am willing to cooperate with your investigation.”

Toji nodded, formed hand seals, then placed his hand on Sabin’s forehead, casting Mind Reading. As chakra surged, Sabin’s memories flooded into Toji’s mind like a tide. Toji found that although Sabin maintained contact with Orochimaru, he had indeed not done anything to harm Konoha. Sabin’s main task was to study sealing and barrier jutsu, to enter Konoha’s Barrier Department, and wait for Orochimaru’s command. He waited until Orochimaru’s death, and Sabin had not yet been activated.

At the same time, Toji noticed the [Soul-Body Separation Technique] in Sabin’s memories. Regarding such a special sealing jutsu concerning the soul, he secretly harbored the thought of learning it, so he took the opportunity to memorize the jutsu’s data.

“Your attitude is quite sincere.” Toji withdrew the jutsu, “I can give you a chance: house arrest in the Anbu Security Department to research sealing and barrier jutsu for us.”

Sabin couldn’t help but show surprise, and quickly said, “Thank you, Lord Minister, I will not disappoint you.”

Toji nodded and cast the [Tongue Restriction Seal]. Black runes appeared out of thin air and drilled into Sabin’s mouth.

Sabin frowned slightly, then gave a wry smile, “Lord Minister, although this jutsu can restrict me from speaking carelessly, with my ability to research sealing jutsu, I can undo it myself in not too long. Have you forgotten my…”

Toji smiled and interrupted Sabin, “It is precisely because I understand your ability that I kept you. You are also a smart person; you should know that if you don’t undo this jutsu, then you are safe. Some cages serve to protect. As long as you work for us with peace of mind, I will not make things difficult for you.”

Sabin laughed heartily, “Understood, Lord Minister.”

Toji motioned for Sabin to come closer and whispered for a while, explaining the jutsu he needed Sabin to research.

In fact, Toji had already had some ideas as soon as he noticed Sabin’s name, to make Sabin’s talent serve him, and to prepare some backup for the unpredictable future.
