When Team Minato woke up from the floor, they were surprised to find that Akira Tsubaki was gone.
"Where is Akira?"
"He won't run away again like the last mission, will he?" Obito guessed boldly.
"How is that possible? He must have gone to buy breakfast," Rin felt that Akira Tsubaki was not that kind of person.
The three walked out of the room and came to the front desk.
Kakashi originally planned to ask the boss, but before he could open his mouth—
Boom!!!
A loud noise came from the hotel across the street, accompanied by a strong tremor.
Immediately afterward.
Crash!
The hotel suddenly collapsed, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
A figure coughed and rushed out of the dust. If it wasn't Akira Tsubaki, who else could it be?
Seeing this scene, Team Minato was stunned.
"He demolished his hotel?"
What did Akira Tsubaki do?
Kenjiro was also dumbfounded and distressed.
I asked this kid to kill the innkeeper opposite, but he killed the inn too!
The hotel collapsed. How was Kenjiro supposed to take over the property now?
"Careless!" Akira Tsubaki spat out a mouthful of dirt, a little remorseful.
He never expected that one punch would collapse the hotel's load-bearing structure.
However, the boss was also dead, which technically fulfilled Kenjiro's request.
Front Desk.
Akira Tsubaki picked up a towel from the counter, wiped his face, and then looked at Kenjiro.
"I did what you asked."
Kenjiro felt a little nervous and nodded hastily.
If it collapses, it collapses. If the competitor is dead, that's good enough.
In this way, this street was now his sole territory.
"What information do you want?" Kenjiro asked cautiously.
"The movements of the Iwagakure (Hidden Rock Village) border forces!" Akira Tsubaki was straightforward.
"This…"
Kenjiro breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, and rummaged beneath the counter.
Soon, he took out a scroll.
"This is the intelligence from yesterday afternoon," he reminded them.
"Yesterday afternoon?"
Picking up the scroll, Akira Tsubaki opened it and quickly scanned the contents.
The three of Kakashi also came over and looked together.
The intelligence content was simple: Yesterday afternoon, Iwagakure's No. 4 border outpost added ten combat squads.
After reading the information, Akira Tsubaki thought for a moment.
On the surface, the value of this information was not high, as there were only 3 Ninjas in one combat squad, meaning only 30 Ninjas were added.
But the problem was, this was only outpost No. 4.
What about the other outposts?
If ten combat squads were added to all outposts, then the total number would be quite large.
"Is this the only information?" Akira Tsubaki asked again.
"If it's about the movements on the border, this is indeed the only thing I have," Kenjiro replied truthfully.
"Oh? You mean you have other intelligence related to Iwagakure?"
Akira Tsubaki's eyes lit up.
But Kenjiro was frustrated.
His valuable intelligence was being given away so cheaply to this brat.
But the current situation was clear: strength prevailed.
Another scroll was pulled out from under the counter, and he reluctantly placed it on the desk.
[Jōnin Black Stone of Iwagakure is looking for the Box of Elysium in Kusagakure!]
A short line of text revealed the content of this intelligence.
Akira Tsubaki didn't care about this specific information, as it had nothing to do with the mission.
Theoretically, Team Minato's mission had been completed. However, Akira Tsubaki still made an agreement with Kenjiro.
"Well, if you get any more intelligence on the movements of the Iwagakure border forces, you can pass the news to me."
"Then what do I get in return?" Kenjiro stared at Akira Tsubaki, ready to negotiate the price.
"One piece of intelligence, and I'll help you eliminate one person!" Akira Tsubaki promised.
"Deal!" Kenjiro's eyes lit up.
Using only routine intelligence on Iwagakure's frontier movements to hire this kid with Super Taijutsu was extremely cost-effective.
After all, Kenjiro's business scope was very wide.
Next, Kenjiro pulled out a piece of paper and asked Akira Tsubaki to write down his name and address.
"You must write down your real name and address, otherwise my informant won't be able to pass the news to you."
"No problem," Akira Tsubaki agreed wholeheartedly.
Immediately, he wrote down the name and address of Minato Namikaze.
"Are you trying to trick me?" Kenjiro's face turned green.
He recognized the name Namikaze Minato. This brat is Namikaze Minato?
What a joke!
"Uh, my mistake." Seeing that he was exposed, Akira Tsubaki didn't blush at all and wrote Kakashi's name and address instead.
"Brat! Kakashi Hatake has silver hair. If you said that kid behind you was him, I might believe it, but you are definitely not," Kenjiro said sternly, thinking the kid was too cunning.
He kept writing fake names and addresses.
Finally.
Akira Tsubaki had no choice but to write down his real name and address.
As soon as he left the hotel, Obito couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
"Akira, you are so despicable, haha…"
"Despicable? Obito, I advise you to think it over before you speak," Akira Tsubaki raised his fist, his tone peaceful.
"Wait a minute! It's not despicable, it's smart! Intelligent!" Obito raised his hands hastily.
The power of Akira Tsubaki's fist had been verified multiple times; it was simply not something a normal human could withstand.
One punch from him would guarantee Obito was completely finished.
"Akira, if you cooperate with Kenjiro, aren't you afraid that he will sell your information to Iwagakure instead?" Kakashi was a little worried.
Because Akira Tsubaki had displayed his overwhelming physical skills, Kenjiro knew this.
Once this intelligence was obtained by other parties, Akira Tsubaki's shortcomings would be exposed.
Are there any flaws in a Taijutsu Ninja?
Plenty!
Akira Tsubaki understood Kakashi's concerns.
"For the sake of the village, what does it matter if my personal information is leaked?" Akira Tsubaki said with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Of course, what he truly thought in his heart, only he knew.
As Kakashi feared.
As soon as Team Minato left, Kenjiro packaged and sold Akira Tsubaki's information to Iwagakure.
It sold for a good price, too.
After sending off several Iwagakure spies, Kenjiro squatted behind the front desk, sighing faintly.
"Hey~~ Akira Tsubaki, I couldn't help myself. After all, I sell intelligence…"
After sighing, he stared at the street across the road and began supervising the workers there.
Several hired Ninjas were cleaning up the ruins, preparing to build a new hotel.
