Mu Yue asked his disciples to investigate whether the giant eagle was harassing the people and the people's comments on the mayor, while he went straight to the mayor's house to start investigating.
However, in order to prevent accidents from happening, Mu Yue sent out a shadow clone to protect his disciples in secret.
Although Mu Yue had never asked where the mayor's house was, he didn't need to ask because he knew that it would be right to go straight to the most luxurious courtyard.
Mu Yue soon discovered a large courtyard that was obviously much more luxurious than the other houses. It even had flower beds and ponds. He sneaked in quietly.
"Haha, I'm smart, right? As long as we spread the word, someone will definitely help us get rid of that strange bird."
A complacent middle-aged voice came into Mu Yue's ears.
"Yes, Lord Mayor, you are really resourceful." Someone next to him flattered.
"Of course, otherwise why would I be the mayor?" The mayor laughed proudly.
"Do you really expect those peasants to hire a ninja to deal with this strange bird? I think that person has already left with the money or died on the road. This world is a mess."
"Mayor, you are wise, but since you knew that the peasant might not come back, why didn't you just take the 30,000 taels to compensate for your loss, or arrange for someone to follow him?" the person next to him asked doubtfully.
"Stupid, the resistance I encounter when I ask them to pay for work and when I rob them directly is completely different. Besides, it's so dangerous now, the men I pay to support are not there to protect those peasants.
Thirty thousand taels is not important to me, but making those peasants penniless is important to me. There are still a few plots of land in the town that are not mine, and I feel uncomfortable just looking at them. Besides, the little daughter of the Baotian family is not bad either."
Mu Yue silently memorized the mayor's fat and wretched face. After listening to what the mayor and his men said, he basically understood what was going on.
Hamajiro did not tell the whole truth. It is even possible that the two strong men were hired to act or were simply from Kawakita Town, in order to arouse their sense of justice to deal with the mayor.
Although Hamajiro did not tell the whole truth, his accusations against the mayor were basically true. In the short time that Muyue listened, the mayor revealed that he had forcibly carried out land annexation and even wanted to force others to sell their daughters.
"Have you collected the information about the whereabouts of the strange bird? Those ninjas came to urge you this morning. They are really a group of sick people. They are so diligent even though they work for others for free." The mayor did not understand those ninjas.
Mu Yue could only say that different trades bring different fortunes. Maybe the mayor was very skilled in land annexation, but he could not imagine the value of a bird summoning beast to a ninja, because he had no idea about the existence of summoning techniques and summoning beasts.
The mayor's subordinate nodded, and the two of them, along with a few guards, prepared to head to the ninja's temporary residence.
"How dare you beg here? Don't you know that our mayor is known to be kind-hearted and cannot stand seeing people suffering? Get out of here." The subordinates scolded when they saw someone begging in the yard.
When the beggar saw so many guards with fierce eyes, he quickly bowed and apologized and walked away.
Mu Yue dodged and followed.
"Mr. Ninja, we have brought you information about the whereabouts of that strange bird. The nest of that strange bird is at the top of the mountain." When talking to the ninja, the mayor changed his tone and said with a kind smile.
"That's no problem. We will go and deal with that strange bird later." The black-skinned ninja with a sword on his back said calmly.
"I would like to wish you all success in getting rid of this evil for the people." The mayor said righteously.
"Haha, since you are getting rid of harm for the people, then you, the mayor, should at least show some appreciation, right?" A dark-skinned ninja with well-developed muscles said with a smile.
"Didn't we agree before that there would be no compensation?" the subordinate asked in confusion.
"How do you talk to Lord Ninja? The reward is easy to discuss. As long as you can get rid of the strange bird, I am willing to pay 50,000 taels as labor fee." The mayor said with a smile.
In fact, he was already cursing in his heart. If he hadn't seen the horrific scene when the ninja and the strange bird were fighting, he would have turned hostile long ago. He had said he wouldn't take the money, but he actually went back on his word.
Those ninjas were simply humanoid monsters who could actually release lightning. The thugs he hired were no match for them at all.
"Haha, it's a deal then." The muscular and dark-skinned ninja nodded with satisfaction.
A bird-like spirit beast that is capable of carrying people and can also make some extra money, this trip is really a good deal.
Perhaps because of the tragic loss of 50,000 ryo, the mayor left quickly without much greeting.
"Beroca, this will have a bad impact on the village, right?" A tall and thin dark-skinned ninja said after seeing the mayor and others leave.
"Hailo, you are too rigid. What impact will this have? They didn't post the commission in the village, so they are not our clients at all. Besides, this is not in the Land of Thunder, and we didn't bring any forehead protectors with us." Beroca said indifferently.
"I guess it's okay to bring it. The people here may not even recognize our Kumogakure forehead protectors."
"Iraka, what do you think?" Beroka asked the black-skinned ninja with a sword on his back.
"Hairo's worries are not unreasonable. If this war goes well, our Kumogakure will become famous in the ninja world, and we will receive many foreign commissions. It will be troublesome if the news here gets out. After catching the ninja beast, we can kill those people. The family that can build such a compound should have a lot of money." Iraka said lightly.
"You are still so ruthless." Beroca gave Iraka a thumbs up.
He just wanted to extort more money, but Ilaka was going to confiscate his property.
"You can also leave a Sand Ninja forehead protector there at that time." Iraka continued.
This is used to mislead the local people, who don't know much. He is not so idle as to kill everyone. His target is only the rich mayor.
During wartime, the death of such a small character would not attract attention.
Iraka asked the two to pack their equipment and then headed towards the mountain.
"With this kind of face plate and skin color, it should be Yunyin." Mu Yue confirmed the identities of the three people.
He used the identification technique to take a look and found that only the Kumogakure named Iraka had decent data, with more than 4,000 chakras and a lightning-attribute chakra nature change at a proficiency level of 2,000 points. The remaining two Kumogakure had more than 3,000 chakras each and no powerful skills.
"With a panel like this, I'm very suitable to be a rival to Kakashi and the others." Mu Yue thought to himself.
He had no intention of taking action against Yunyin, who had this level of strength, and felt that he could use it to train his disciples' practical combat abilities.
Except for Kakashi, Obito and Might Guy lack real fighting experience.
Last time, because the opponent had two jonin, one of whom was an elite jonin, Mu Yue had to act hastily. This time, he decided to let his disciples handle it.
Mu Yue created another shadow clone to follow Yun Yin, while the original body walked around with its eyes rolled up to prevent any Yun Yin warriors from hiding in the dark.
