Chapter 497: Some Sins Can Only Be Borne by Me
Stepping out of the Hokage's Office, Yako returned to the Anbu base and summoned Hakuyo.
The moment Hakuyo stepped into the commander's office, he felt a sudden chill.
Hakuyo knew the chill wasn't aimed at him. It meant the commander had made a decision—someone was going to die. Someone was going to be purged.
He glanced around the room. Commander Fox's assistant, Purple Cat, was notably absent, which meant the upcoming mission would be highly classified.
Yako brought out a Flying Thunder God Kunai. The Trident Emblem of the Three Gods Cult was drawn onto the bandages wrapped around its hilt.
Now that the Three Gods Cult was public knowledge, Yako no longer hid his connection to it. This would help Konohagakure accept the religion.
In the eyes of ordinary Konoha ninja, the Three Gods Cult was just some strange organization established by the village's higher-ups.
Yako handed the Flying Thunder God Kunai to Hakuyo and said, "Hakuyo, travel covertly to Kyoto in the Land of Fire alone. Once you enter the city, inject your chakra into the kunai, and I will teleport to your location."
After a moment of confusion, Hakuyo asked, "Lord Fox, are we assassinating someone in Kyoto? My Insect Clones are highly proficient. I can infiltrate anywhere without making a sound. If someone needs to be killed, there is no need for you to act personally. I can handle it. Even if it's the guardian ninja captain of the Sarutobi clan!"
