Chapter 182: Going Out (Ch 708411140)

After leaving the Intelligence Department, Yichen went straight to Ohnoki and expressed his desire to go out and have fun. But what Yichen didn’t expect was that Ohnoki refused without even thinking about it. He didn’t even listen to why Yichen wanted to go out.

“Don’t leave the village until you become a Kage.” Oonoki dismissed Yi Chen with just one sentence.

Before, Yi Chen was only an elite jonin, so Ohnoki would not restrict Yi Chen to the village. That would not help Yi Chen’s growth. If he wanted to become a Kage, Yi Chen must have enough experience.

This is indeed the case. Yi Chen grew up in the war.

But now that Yichen has become a potential movie queen, his role in the village is completely different. In Ohnoki’s opinion, it is too risky to go out and have fun at this time, so it is better to stay in the village for a few years.

After a few years, when Yi Chen becomes a shadow-level warrior, if he wants to go out and have fun again, it will not be without danger, but at least it will be much safer than it is now.

For the village, Yi Chen will definitely be a shadow-level figure in the future, and his role in the village will surely be even greater at that time.

So no matter what Yi Chen wants to do now, in Oonoki’s opinion, it cannot offset the risks Yi Chen faces if he goes out now.

Seeing that Ohnoki didn’t even want to listen to the reasons, Yi Chen had no choice but to go to Ikura to discuss countermeasures.

When Ikura heard that Yichen wanted to leave the village, he was overjoyed: “Haha, now it’s finally your turn. When the war first broke out, I was confined to the village.”

“Every time I heard about what you were doing out there, I was very envious. At the time, I was thinking that if the war pace was faster, I might not even have the chance to join the war.”

“Come to think of it, I seem to have only left the village once when I exchanged the Sand Ninja’s puppet for the Third Kazekage.”

“Even now, Tsuchikage-sama requires me to master S-rank ninjutsu before I can leave the village.”

Yi Chen: …

After thinking for a while, Yi Chen said unwillingly: “But Konoha’s Namikaze Minato has been active outside.”

Ikura shook his head and said, “Konoha is full of talented people. We Iwagakure are no match for them. Besides, I’m afraid that Minato Namikaze didn’t inform the Konoha upper echelons about his situation at that time.”

Yi Chen was a little discouraged and said, “By the way, how is your second S-level ninjutsu going?”

Ikura smiled bitterly and said, “How can S-level ninjutsu be so easy to learn?”

Ikura looked at Yichen with envy and said, “Your talent in ninjutsu is amazing. You have mastered two S-level ninjutsu so quickly.”

It can be said that Yi Chen has fully mastered his first S-level ninjutsu, the Ten-Thousand-Element Ninjutsu, but he has only just started to learn the second S-level ninjutsu, the Mind’s Eye.

The ninjutsu of the mind’s eye is similar to a passive skill. Theoretically, after fully mastering it, Yichen can passively detect all the chakra fluctuations around him. The range is not large. Yichen has tested it and it is about 200 meters in radius. It is far inferior to the perception ninjutsu he learned before.

But now, Yi Chen can only sense clearly when he turns off his vision. It is far from being able to fight in actual combat.

Yi Chen now understands the reason.

The mind’s eye seemed to provide Yi Chen with a sixth sense. As an ordinary person, Yi Chen was accustomed to using eyes and ears as the main senses to receive information from the outside world.

Now, a sixth sense suddenly appeared, which was as efficient as the eyes, and Yi Chen was unable to adapt to this change for a while.

Sometimes, even if you intentionally use your mind, it will interfere with what you see with your eyes. If this happens during a battle, your mind will not only be unable to help you, but will also hinder you.

So Yi Chen shook his head and said, “My mind is far from being able to be used in actual combat.”

“Then it’s even more impossible for you to leave the village. Lord Tsuchikage won’t agree.” Ikura concluded.

Yi Chen was a little discouraged. After thinking for a while, he said, “Didn’t you go out last time when you went to negotiate with the Sand Ninja? Then will I have a chance too?”

Ikura looked at Yichen with a smile without saying anything.

Yichen didn’t understand at first, but soon understood. Ikura was short of manpower in the village and couldn’t find enough ninjas.

But if a similar situation really occurs now, Ohnoki will not send Yichen out, because he has a better choice, that is Ikura. Ikura has at least the combat power of the Kage level. Although his strength is still at the bottom among the Kage level, he is more reliable than Yichen.

Yi Chen sighed, left Icang and returned to his office.

Yi Chen was unwilling to just stay in the village.

“How can I get Ohnoki to send me out?” Yi Chen began to ponder.

“Oh, I have an advantage.” Yi Chen suddenly thought of something and jumped up excitedly.

When Yi Chen was in the East Front Camp, he was often sent by Huang Tu to perform some tasks. The tasks that Huang Tu assigned Yi Chen to perform all had one characteristic, that is, they required speed, and Yi Chen had a speed far beyond that of ordinary people.

Yichen can fly. Flying can go in a straight line, and the distance will be much shorter than traveling on the ground. In addition, there are no enemies in the air, so Yichen can travel at full speed without having to spend time on reconnaissance and other things.

In wartime, Yi Chen’s advantage of being able to fly will be particularly obvious.

“Fortunately, Ohnoki didn’t ask me anything just now, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to guide his thinking. But how can I say it so that others will feel urgent and have to send me out?”

Yi Chen began to recall the information he had seen at the Intelligence Department before, and then analyzed it based on the original plot.

After a while, Yichen found a way to convince Onoki to let him go. Then Yichen got up and went to the Intelligence Department again.

Half an hour later, Ohnoki, who was working in the Tsuchikage’s office, saw Yichen coming back, frowned, and said, “You don’t need to waste your breath, just stay in the village and wait until you reach the level of Kage.”

Yi Chen chuckled, then changed his expression and said seriously: “Lord Tsuchikage, I guess the Mist Ninja is going to attack the Hyuga clan.”

Ohnoki looked up at Yichen and said, “The Mist Ninjas are targeting the Hyuga and Uchiha every day.”

“It’s different this time. I guess the Mist Ninja’s target this time is the Hyuga main family, and they should be targeting the Byakugan.” Yi Chen said confidently.

Sure enough, Ohnoki finally put down the document in his hand, looked at Yichen, and thought that Yichen would not joke about such information. So he said, “Go and call the others!”

“Yes.” After saying that, Yi Chen happily went to find Icang and the others.

Soon, the four consultants gathered in the Tsuchikage’s office. Yi Chen passed the intelligence he had just received from the Intelligence Department to the others for them to review.

The information was still the same one that Yi Chen had seen before, but Yi Chen picked out the related parts.

Following Yi Chen’s guidance, everyone else was led astray by Yi Chen after watching it, and they all felt that Yi Chen’s speculation about the Mist Ninja targeting the Hyuga clan was somewhat possible.

However, Ban said: “Yi Chen, the information you have can only show that the Mist Ninja’s behavior is a little abnormal, but it does not mean that they are going to attack the Hyuga clan.”

Yi Chen felt a little guilty. Ban was indeed a consultant who had been in charge of the Intelligence Department for many years and he spotted the problem at a glance.

However, Yi Chen had the advantage of the original plot, so he was very confident in his judgment. So he said, “Senior Saka, I think it is very likely that the Mist Ninja would do this. If I were the commander of the Mist Ninja, I would also take action if I had the opportunity to obtain the Byakugan.”

Saka still didn’t believe it: “The Hyuga clan must be staying in the core of the camp. The Mist Ninja must storm the Konoha camp if they want to get the Byakugan. I don’t think the Mist Ninja will take such a big risk for the Byakugan.”

“Besides, after taking such a big risk, there is no guarantee that you will get the Byakugan.” Ikura also agreed.

“Hehe, I think the Mist Ninja must have obtained some information about the Hyuga family. It is very likely that the Hyuga family will leave the camp. The Mist Ninja must have targeted the Hyuga family based on this information.” Yi Chen said confidently.

Ban shook his head and said, “You are just speculating. It is totally baseless.”

Yi Chen also knew that this statement might not convince Ohnoki and others, so he took out another piece of information and spread it out in front of everyone.

Yi Chen pointed to one of the spots and said, “Lord Tsuchikage, look, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist began to move unusually five days ago.”

“Look here again,” Yi Chen pointed to another place, “Six days ago, a jonin from the Hyuga branch was ambushed and killed by Kurisan Kushimaru, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.”

At this point, Yi Chen paused and said, “The person who passed on this information was a Chunin from the Hyuga clan’s camp in Konoha. He participated in the search for the missing Jonin of the Hyuga branch. Although they finally found the body, at least half a day had passed since the incident.”

Ikura was a little surprised and said, “You mean, Kurisan Kushimaru got information about the whereabouts of the Hyuga main family from this Hyuga branch family jonin in the past half day?”

To be honest, Yi Cang almost believed it. If Yi Chen hadn’t complained to him before, he would have been convinced by the logic of Yi Chen’s arrangement.

If Ikura is like this, let alone the others. Saka frowned, and he was a little skeptical about the information Yichen said.

Originally, this kind of information could not explain anything. When two countries were at war, the death of a few senior ninjas was a very normal thing.

But now that Yi Chen had picked out these pieces of information and put them together, and made a seemingly reasonable guess, he was a little unsure. So he looked at Ohnoki and asked him to make the decision.

To be honest, Ohnoki didn’t believe Yichen’s guess at first. He always felt that this was false information made up by Yichen in order to leave the village.

Ohnoki guessed correctly that these pieces of information were all pieced together by Yichen in order to convince the higher-ups. Although they were not false, they were obviously misleading.

The Hyuga clan did lose a branch jonin, but this was not the only time they lost a jonin. Yi Chen just brought up this one when he needed it and the timing was right.

If these pieces of information were put into all the intelligence, combined with other Hyuga branch jonin who died in the battle, Ohnoki and the others would think that Yi Chen was being unreasonable.

But they didn’t know that they subconsciously thought that Yi Chen would not lie to them. Especially for such important information, Yi Chen would not be so ignorant.

So after hesitating for a while, Oonoki decided to believe Yichen’s guess.

Looking at Yi Chen with a suspicious look, Ohnoki said helplessly: “I’ll trust you for once. The Mist Ninja has been preparing for so many days. If they want to take action, it will probably be in the next few days. Just go.”

Ohnoki didn’t tell Yichen what to do, he believed Yichen could handle it. He was just worried that Yichen would be too reckless and get himself involved.
