Here, one person must be mentioned, Kakuzu. As an elite ninja of Takigakure, Kakuzu accepted a mission from the higher-ups to assassinate the First Hokage. After infiltrating the Land of Fire, Kakuzu fought against the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and was ultimately defeated by Hashirama's Wood Style Secret Jutsu, facing a life-threatening crisis. Kakuzu then escaped back to the village, but what awaited him was the charge of mission failure and severe punishment, a ninja who risked his life for the village was treated cruelly.
So Kakuzu, filled with intense hatred, broke out of prison and stole a secret jutsu that the village considered a treasure. He used this secret jutsu to steal the hearts of high-ranking members of the village. This secret jutsu was Kakuzu's tentacle-like blood vessels, Earth Grudge Fear.
Over the years, Kakuzu lived for over ninety years by relying on Earth Grudge Fear. So, there's a question:
How many Earth Grudge Fear users are there in Takigakure? Earth Grudge Fear users can live by replacing their hearts.
From this, it can be seen that Takigakure is not weak, even very strong. It's just unclear why they always stayed in Takigakure and never came out.
Moreover, Takigakure also possessed a great treasure, the Hero Water, which could increase one's chakra by tens of times, but at the cost of one's life.
From this, it can also be seen that Takigakure's strength is not weak. But in Kisuke's view, Takigakure is a very strong ninja village, but its highest strength is only Kage-level, with no Super Kage-level existence. This makes it not difficult for Kisuke.
Although Takigakure has secrets, for Kisuke, once Takigakure is conquered, the secrets will no longer be secrets.
According to the set goal, there is still one month to complete the process. This means Kisuke needs to complete the set goals within this month before he can attack the Land of Waterfalls.
Kisuke sat on his throne, carefully thinking about the anime he watched in his previous life, then combining it with the intelligence provided by Orochimaru to organize and see if there were any points to note.
After a period of repeated thought, Kisuke thought of three places that could increase his strength: the Ryumyaku of the Land of Roran, the Moryo of the Land of Demons, and the Zero-Tails of the Sky Ninja Village.
All three could be used as raw materials for manufacturing energy cores. Manufacturing energy cores was both simple and difficult.
The difficult part was mainly that Kisuke had no research personnel under him. He had direction and some data, but no one to manufacture them.
Orochimaru had the ability, but Orochimaru was not available for now. Orochimaru was not yet under his command, so he would not be given access to core data knowledge for the time being.
It was also quite simple. Directly using energy to manufacture energy cores from energy bodies like Tailed Beasts or Ryumyaku. This didn't require research, only an energy body.
Moreover, these eternal energy cores could automatically regenerate. The energy cores that were researched needed to be recharged periodically.
Ryumyaku and Moryo needed to be captured, but the Zero-Tails should not have appeared yet. This brings up another person.
Shinno, the current leader of the Sky Ninja Village, was outwardly a skilled doctor. His true identity was the leader of the Sky Ninja, who sought to gain the power of the Zero-Tails to conquer the ninja world. He possessed the ability of physical regeneration and physical activation, which Orochimaru greatly desired. He also traveled around the world, gathering information and modifying the Eight Gates Formation.
And Shinno was also a very talented person, capable of developing two great forbidden jutsu and creating the Zero-Tails based on medical ninjutsu.
Kisuke thought for a moment, then opened the Skynet to add a mission interface. As Kisuke added it, Zabuza and Zero, far away at the Free Trade Company, simultaneously received the mission.
Zabuza was getting used to his new strength. For him, his strength had increased significantly. The Steel Body could be said to have turned his weakness into a strength, giving him greater room to maneuver. This also put one foot into the Kage-level.
"Ding!"
As a "ding" sounded in Zabuza's mind, Zabuza was stunned. What was this? It hadn't happened these past few days. Zabuza, full of questions, opened his panel.
Name: Zabuza
Position: Nine Faces, Silver Mask, First Squad Leader, Demon of the Hidden Mist
Strength: Level 3 Peak
Skills: Water Style, Water Clone, Water Style, Silent Killing, Water Style, Water Dragon Jutsu...
Points: 0
As Zabuza checked, he found no major difference from before. Just as he was wondering what was going on, he suddenly noticed a mission panel next to his personal profile.
So Zabuza, confused, opened the mission panel and found a mission for himself inside.
Mission: Capture Shinno
Mission Target: Shinno, outwardly a skilled doctor, true identity is the leader of the Sky Ninja.
Mission Strength: Elite Jonin
Mission Executor: Demon of the Hidden Mist
Mission Points: 100
Zabuza looked at this mission panel, analyzed the situation, and understood after a while. This was a mission transmitted directly through the Skynet, saving the trouble of using summoning scrolls.
Zabuza thought of this, looked at his mission target, and began to ponder how to execute it.
On the other side, Zero was also looking at her mission target with a serious expression.
Mission: Collect Ryumyaku
Mission Target: Ryumyaku, a natural product of nature, sealed in the Land of Roran.
Mission Strength: Kage-level
Mission Executor: Zero
Mission Points: 500
Generally, missions given by Kisuke would be given to Zero, and then Zero would assign them to the executors. But now, with a shortage of personnel, Kisuke simply gave the missions directly to each person.
Zero finished reading the mission target and walked out. When she reached downstairs, she bumped into Zabuza, who was also leaving.
Zabuza remembered this report and, confused, asked Zero, "Master, what's the situation with this mission?"
Zero looked at Zabuza and said respectfully, "Our Nine Faces are directly under His Majesty's jurisdiction. Each Face has its own mission, and the mission panel is where our superiors give us orders."
"What happens if we fail?"
Zero said nothing, just gave Zabuza a cold glance, then left without another word.
Zabuza now understood. If he failed the mission, he probably wouldn't die, but there would definitely be a punishment. Thinking of this, Zabuza shivered.
Zabuza walked, thinking about how to complete the mission. After careful consideration, Zabuza immediately went to the Bounty Station.
The Bounty Station organization was not only spread throughout the ninja world but also had strong intelligence capabilities, even daring to put bounties on anyone. So Zabuza wanted to go to the Bounty Station to get information on Shinno. Currently, the Empire's intelligence capabilities had not yet been established, so they could only rely on these intermediary forces for now.
Zero, on her side, also began heading to the Land of Wind. Her mission was not only to find the Land of Roran and capture the Ryumyaku but also to establish cooperation with Sunagakure in the Land of Wind.
And so, Zabuza and Zero both began their first missions.
