Chapter 819: Complications!
[A/N: Thanks for all the wishes guys. Still very sick, but was able to write today. Can't promise about tomorrow. Enjoy and take care.]
Shikaku, who finally found a moment of peace, was suddenly disturbed. He glanced at Eagle and muttered, "I thought I said not to entertain any weird ideas from him."
Eagle replied, "You did, but Renjiro said that Fujin will most likely attack Sunagakure if you don't get in contact. I thought talking with him now would be less troublesome."
Shikaku's eyes twitched as he muttered, "He'll attack without permission?"
Eagle replied, "Most likely. However, considering the situation, I won't blame him. This is indeed quite extraordinary."
Disbelief appeared on Shikaku's face as Eagle informed him about Takahiro and his accomplishments. He instinctively muttered, "This…"
For a moment, even Shikaku was left speechless. Takahiro's accomplishments were just too good. Shikaku sighed and thought, 'This is a huge change in the situation. No wonder Fujin is insistent on hearing my opinion.
Takahiro… I recall reading his name but I didn't think he'd give us such a surprise. Killing a Grandmaster and bringing his body intact... That's extremely rare, even though Fujin did it not too long ago. Not to mention, he has compromised the positions of over a thousand Sunagakure ninjas and delivered the information to the one ninja who can slaughter every last one of them… Still…'
A tired expression appeared on Shikaku's face as he wondered, 'Why do so many strange incidents occur when he is in charge of that damned army? It was supposed to be a simple training mission… How did it turn into a war against Kusagakure rebels, the annihilation of Otogakure and the vanguard against Sunagakure?
