Chapter 201 - 96: The Sand Village Collapse Plan (2)
"This intelligence gathering business is all about combining internal and external sources. If the internal intel is cut off, we look for clues externally. I’ve already informed the Nine Heavenly Stems through secret channels. The moment there’s any movement in the other ninja villages, we’ll get the news immediately."
Yamashita Tetsu spoke with supreme confidence.
"Yes, that’s the logic, but intelligence takes time to flow back and forth. Isn’t this a bit too rushed?" Jing Hang expressed his concern.
"Of course it’s rushed. The external intel isn’t meant to root out the traitor; it’s to figure out who we should retaliate against after the rebellion."
Yamashita Tetsu winked mischievously.
"Could you just spit it all out at once?" Jing Hang was clearly annoyed.
"My apologies, my apologies," Yamashita Tetsu said with a bow. "I’ve come up with a plan. Let me know if you think it’s feasible."
"Alright, tell me."
"Since their target is you, why not turn the tables on them?"
"You mean...?"
"I’ll stage an assassination attempt on you in advance!"
