Shinji quickly met the owner of the Red Chamber and learned from her what had happened and what they needed to do.
Moreover, they were not the only ones who received this mission; there were several other groups as well.
After all, the reward was generous, and the task didn't seem difficult.
Instead, Shinji was reluctant to waste time here.
However, with the mindset of "since we're here," he took a corpse from Tobi and fed it to the [Greedy Eye].
The [Greedy Eye] immediately began scanning the surroundings.
"Hmm? There really is one."
Shinji was somewhat surprised and then turned his gaze towards the eye-catching Red Chamber.
"Only one?"
After pinpointing the opponent's location, he didn't rush to act but wandered around.
He was definitely not taking the opportunity to stroll through the Courtesan Street; he just wanted to be thorough and see if there were any other fish that had slipped through the net.
Who knew that this accidental stroll would last an entire night.
Meanwhile, Itachi and Kisame also arrived in Smoke Willow Village.
After confirming the mission, both of them looked somewhat suspicious, not understanding why the leader insisted on sending the two of them on such a 'simple' mission.
"No need to overthink it. You'll know after the mission is completed."
Kisame chuckled, "So, how do you plan to flush out those hidden guys?"
"If there are curse spirits hidden here, I'll start investigating from there."
Itachi looked up at the Red Chamber.
Kisame was a bit confused, "Have you already found a clue?"
"No, it's just the most conspicuous place."
"..."
Seeing Kisame's expression of "Are you kidding me?", Itachi had no choice but to continue explaining, "Since there are no frequent disappearances here, it means the old methods won't work. And this village is most famous for its Courtesan Street, with this Red Chamber being the most prominent. More importantly, the place where those three monsters appeared was right outside the Red Chamber."
"What kind of reason is that?"
"The reason is that I chose it randomly."
Kisame glanced at Itachi and thought to himself, "If you weren't Uchiha Itachi, I would have drawn my sword and hit you just now!"
"I guess the problematic one must be the number one courtesan!"
Kisame seemed very confident, which even surprised Itachi.
"Why?"
"Do I need to say? That number one courtesan always hides and refuses to see people. And the guests who spent a lot of money to go to the top floor have all fallen into misfortune and ruin within a few months. There must be something wrong."
"Your analysis is good, but don't do it next time."
"Huh?"
"Nothing, I mean, let's proceed according to your plan."
"Okay, this time it's up to me!"
Kisame seemed full of confidence, and then he was kicked out.
Because to go to the top floor to see the number one courtesan, one had to bid for it with money, and only if successful would they have a chance to glimpse her true face.
What did you say?
Executing a mission?
Sorry, even if the Daimyo of the Land of Fire came, it would be useless. You have to follow the rules.
Kisame was so angry that he almost used the Great Shark Bullet Jutsu to blow up this damned Red Chamber on the spot!
And they weren't the first ones who wanted to go up.
Before, some people had gone up under the guise of a mission, wanting to get freebies, and were directly beaten and thrown out.
It was useless to find the person who posted the mission. If they couldn't even handle such a small matter, how could they find the possibly hidden curse spirits?
This was actually a test.
Normally, Kisame wouldn't bother with these useless people and would just barge in.
However, the leader had specifically instructed them to take this mission seriously and to avoid acting recklessly.
So Kisame endured and prepared to use a Water Clone to infiltrate and investigate the situation later.
But at this moment, Itachi suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on a certain direction.
Or rather, fixed on a certain brat who shouldn't be here!
Shinji and his group, under the enthusiastic invitation of the proprietress, prepared to go in and broaden their horizons.
Heaven knows, Shinji only agreed because the proprietress seemed to be working too hard and he felt sympathetic.
It was definitely not because she was beautiful and had a hot figure.
Tobi could vouch for this!
Tobi: "I vouch for it, I vouch that Senior Shinji is definitely not such a superficial person. There, Senior Shinji, you can put down the sword now, holding it must be tiring."
Sasuke suddenly seemed to sense something and turned around sharply, looking left and right.
But he found nothing and finally gave up.
"What's wrong, Itachi?"
Seeing Itachi disappear into the shadows, Kisame also found a place to hide and asked him what he was up to.
Itachi ignored Kisame. Only after Sasuke finally went inside did he come out again.
"I'll leave this mission entirely to you. I have something to attend to and need to leave temporarily."
"Okay."
It was the first time Kisame had seen such an indescribable serious expression on Itachi's face.
Then Itachi transformed into a flock of crows and disappeared.
"Although I don't know what happened, it's probably related to that brat. Brat... brat..."
Kisame remembered that Itachi had indeed mentioned having a younger brother.
Could it be such a coincidence?
Gradually, the night deepened, and the guests who came for pleasure began to rest.
Itachi silently infiltrated Sasuke's room.
For Itachi, the mission could be abandoned, but Sasuke could not be ignored.
He came to find Sasuke, firstly out of longing, secondly to see if the village had kept its promise and taken good care of Sasuke, and thirdly to assess Sasuke's current strength and continue to provoke Sasuke, causing him to upgrade his Sharingan under extreme emotions and grow up quickly.
And then come before him and kill him!
Itachi quietly watched Sasuke sleeping peacefully, and for a moment, he couldn't bear to wake his younger brother.
"Sasuke must be tired from a day's work... perhaps it's better to arrange a chance encounter tomorrow."
Itachi sighed and was about to leave reluctantly.
But because he was a little distracted, he accidentally touched a transparent thread nearby.
Sasuke was instantly awakened!
With a flip, he got up from the ground and alertly looked towards the window.
After this period of training in the wild, Sasuke had long learned that he could never let his guard down, so he had to do this while sleeping to avoid being beaten half to death in the middle of the night.
However, despite his quick movements, someone was even faster than him.
"Mmph..."
Bang!
A somewhat pale but strong left hand grabbed Sasuke's neck before he could react and pushed him against the wall.
Then, the next moment, their eyes met.
Upon seeing the man's appearance, Sasuke was so shocked that for a moment he suspected he was still dreaming!
Otherwise, why would this man be here?!
