“There is a change of plans; Team – Ro will meet with another Anbu team hiding in the Fatherland; the four of you will remain under the leadership of the captain of that team, and I will complete my own mission. " – Watatsumi expressed to the four team members.
"Wait, you can't do this captain!" Akame protested as soon as Watatsumi's voice fell silent.
"Don't be stubborn," said Watatsumi, "you can't even stand or walk properly because of your injuries and poisoning, how are you going to complete the mission?"
"I. uh. this wound-..." Akame tried to answer.
Watatsumi, on the other hand, refused to let it finish. "Kirigakure differs from other Shinobi Villages in that its shinobi are known for their brutality... Despite the fact that the mission given to us by Hokage-sama is not easy, the four of you will only be a burden with your current injuries, she said, it's better if you all stay under the direction of the other Anbu forces while I complete the mission."
Akame slumped to the ground, unwilling and disappointed, after hearing Watatsumi's comments.
Both Rabbit and Hana showed a dispirited attitude.
They were otherwise unable to continue their mission even before they traveled deeper into the Fatherland? The mission risk was considered so great that they were considered incapable of continuing?
What is the purpose of this mission? They have not been briefed on the task…
Their captain had advised them to learn to let go of something from time to time, but it was frustrating…
Only the Weasel, like an extraordinary boy, is quiet and submissive.
"Don't be too disappointed," Watatsumi replied as she glanced at the battlefield. "This is your first S-Class Anbu mission, and even if the four of you don't manage to kill all the Left shinobi, as I mean, each of you defend against them in their own enclosure, although with a few punches. wound, that's not a bad start.
But the challenge will increase from now on; there is only one Jonin between the two squads that the four of you face, and even he can get away if I don't catch up to him in time. But it won't happen again.”.
'None of you performed to the standards I expected, which disappointed me, ' Watatsumi did not say exactly, but the message was clear to them. You even let a Jonin almost get away, and I had to clean it up to keep the intelligence from leaking. However, I won't have time to clean up the mess you left behind from now on. So please do as I say and stay behind so you don't drag me down.'
"Is there really only one Jonin among them?" Akame whispered doubtfully.
"M-hmm, this group only has two Jonin, one on my side and another on the Weasel and Hana side, the rest are all ordinary Chunin Classes or Genin," Watatsumi said while nodding. The reason for their superior performance was because of the advantages of the cage and the type of growth they experienced as shinobi of the Bloody Mist Village. The long-running civil war and dangerous environment in the Bloody Mist Village may have weakened most of the village's potential, but also honed their surviving shinobi, who must constantly face life and death situations not only against other shinobi but also against themselves."
Hearing Watatsumi's affirmation and realizing that they can't continue their duties anymore, Akame and the other three stop insisting and nod, "Alright."
"Don't worry," Watatsumi replied, "you'll continue some things even under his watch, and it will also be a diversion for me to sneak into Kirigakure, so indirectly the four of you are still participating in the operation. "
"It's okay, captain," Hana replied, "You don't have to comfort us."
Watatsumi did not respond, instead creating a hand seal to mimic the Kage Bushin.
Poofs…
"Because time is so important here, my Shadow Clone will escort the four of you to his Anbu team," Watatsumi said, tapping on the back of his Shadow Clone, which made a seal on his clone. "Also, if Akame were to take this antidote, its poison effect should be reduced to a minimum."
Watatsumi handed over the antidote to Akame, who nodded.
"Well, now that I'm gone, you should also go, and make sure the four of them meet with Morino Ibiki safely," Watatsumi said, giving the scroll to her clone.
"I'll take care of it." – Klon nodded and walked out with Akame, Weasel, Hana, and Rabbit to see Morino Ibiki.
"Good Luck Captain," the four Team-Ro members told Watatsumi before leaving.
Watatsumi nodded, and the four of them, along with his clone, left.
As the crow herd gathered back to Itachi, Watatsumi took off her mask and asked, "Kuroto-san, why don't you want them to participate in this mission?"
Itachi had sent the Tim-Ro formation to one of Kirigakure's shinobi, and Itachi did so on Kuroto's orders, which was why Tim-Ro was discovered by the Kiri shinobi.
"Tell me, Itachi, do you think Team-Ro is capable of completing this mission?" ask Kuroto.
"Team-Ro is really capable with you in the team," Itachi said, "but if your full combat power is not taken into account, I'm afraid it will be an almost impossible task for Team-Ro, who will not be able to do so, given the parameters to be followed."
Breaking into the shinobi village to specifically kill the village leader without letting a single soul find itself extremely difficult even for the Sannin troops, let alone the Anbu team.
Furthermore, there was a strong possibility that Mizukage was related to Akatsuki, so it was no surprise that the Akatsuki members present in Kirigakure, increasing the difficulty of this mission from very difficult to impossible, at least for Team-Ro, even if they plan to exploit the upcoming Coup d'etat.
Itachi was aware of Kuroto's true strength, therefore he did not find it strange that Team-Ro was given this job; however, now that he thought about it, it was strange that Team-Ro was given this mission.
"There's no need to think too much about it," Kuroto said, "the reason Sandaime-sama assigned such a mission to Tim-Ro was due to the scarcity of manpower in the village. He can only hope that Tim-Ro can do it. to exploit the coup; after all, Sandaime-sama is aware of my ability to perform the Chakra Suppressing Jutsu. So it's not strange that he assigned me this mission."
Gathering intelligence about the recent sighting and movement of Akatsuki and Amatsukami, possible new hiding places, plotting Akatsuki's revenge, protecting Jinchuriki Kyuubi, facing the reaction of all shinobi clans, and so on, and so on, do not leave him with a lot of cards to play with.
"Luckily, this task was given to you Kuroto-san; if it was handed over to the other Anbu forces, fulfilling this mission would not be possible." Itachi breathed.
"My subordinates have the potential to become extraordinary shinobi," Kuroto explained, "and I don't want them to die young from doing something they can't accomplish."
"I agree," Itachi replied, "but now that they're out of the picture, and it's just the two of us, what's the plan?"
"Have you completed all the instructions I gave you?" Kuroto asked.
"Yes," Itachi said as he nodded.
"Sneaking into Kirigakure follows one of the secret routes marked on this map, make yourself a Kirigakure civilian, as you can also use the Chakra Suppressing Jutsu, so it won't be too difficult, either, then observe the state of the village.Momochi Zabuza's movements, and wait for the next order," Kuroto said, giving another scroll of his shinobi bag to Itachi.
"I understand," Itachi said as he nodded.
"If there is no contact from my side for the next week, and if you meet someone from Akatsuki or if the situation in Kirigakure becomes too chaotic," Kuroto said, "then you can act accordingly or retreat according to your judgment."
"Good." - Itachi nodded once more.
"Also, Uchiha Tsukihi will probably contact you," Kuroto added.
"Will Tsukihi-san be the cast this time?" – Itachi asked because neither he nor Shisui had heard from Uchiha Tsukihi after the fight against Shinno, and he did not even appear in the battle against Akatsuki, which left them confused.
"M-hmm, due to certain circumstances, I cannot use my full strength, so I will delegate this task to Tsukihi; in the meantime, I have other things to pay attention to." Kuroto.
"Good." – Itachi nodded and stopped asking.
"Because there are no other questions, so leave," Kuroto said after everything was clear.
Itachi nodded, and his body turned into a flock of crows, which swooped towards Kirigakure.
Kuroto also cleared the battlefield after Itachi left, before flying towards Ancor Vantian.
