Chapter 22: A Single Sentence Breaks Kabuto, Danzo's Ambush!
After taking the mission scroll, Byakuya only gave it a cursory glance.
"Disappearances near the shipping company."
"A swordsman carrying a large sword, accompanied by a masked attendant."
He didn't need to think to know who was behind this mission.
Afterwards, Byakuya left the Mission Center.
Leaving behind the Ninja in the Mission Center.
"Byakuya is so concerned about a mere C-rank mission. Could there be something fishy about it?"
After Byakuya left, the administrator immediately began overthinking the situation.
As the top figure among Konoha's younger generation, Byakuya definitely wouldn't target a C-rank mission for no reason.
"You, later, reinvestigate this mission. Re-evaluate its rank based on the employer's information!"
Only after doing all this did he feel at ease and leave.
Meanwhile, Byakuya, leaving Konoha for the first time, found everything around him novel.
After all, having transmigrated here over a decade ago, this was his first time leaving Konoha!
However, the moment Byakuya stepped out, he ran into an acquaintance.
Well, not exactly an acquaintance.
"Are you heading out on a mission too? I recognize you, Byakuya!"
A bespectacled, seemingly refined and polite young man greeted Byakuya warmly upon seeing him.
"You probably don't know me yet. I'm your Senior, Kabuto Yakushi!"
Kabuto Yakushi put on what he thought was a friendly expression.
This expression was key to him easily gaining trust.
But today, it seemed he had met an exception.
Byakuya didn't even have the intention of shaking his hand.
"Haha, it's normal you don't know me. I just returned to the Village after completing a mission."
Byakuya just watched coldly as the clumsy Kabuto pretended to be a Senior in front of him.
"Speak, what's the matter?"
Byakuya looked at Kabuto and said straightforwardly.
Since the other party had appeared before him, it definitely meant he had some other purpose.
"Heh, don't mind too much. I just want to befriend you."
"By the way, this should be your first time leaving the Village on a mission, right? Looks like you're heading to the Land of Waves?"
No matter how Byakuya ignored him, Kabuto maintained a standard smile.
"I have a detailed map for getting to the Land of Waves!"
Saying this, Kabuto directly took it out, intending to give it to Byakuya.
"Speak, what did Orochimaru send you for!"
Seeing Kabuto show his tail, Byakuya simply decided not to play along either.
He directly exposed that Kabuto was actually Orochimaru's man.
"This Byakuya is indeed calm and collected, he even knows this!"
Kabuto was somewhat shocked internally, but didn't show it outwardly.
It seemed Byakuya was much more perceptive than those old fogies in the Village!
"Not at all, just doing a bit of work for Lord Orochimaru. Lord Orochimaru heard about you and admires you greatly!"
Kabuto slowly approached Byakuya, then came close to his ear and said.
"About Wood Release!"
Just as Kabuto thought this would shock Byakuya,
who knew Byakuya didn't even blink.
This miscalculated Kabuto, who had planned to use this to seize the initiative.
After all, this information could be considered Konoha's SSS-level secret!
"Oh, and then?"
Byakuya felt like laughing, watching Kabuto trying to assert his presence in front of him.
The other party had only seen the tip of the iceberg and thought he understood enough about him.
"But speaking of which, I actually know you quite well!"
Byakuya's gaze fixed calmly on Kabuto.
This gaze made Kabuto feel as if he had been completely seen through.
And for a Double Agent, what is most terrifying
is being seen through!
"You jest, I'm not like Byakuya, a famous genius of Konoha."
Before Kabuto could finish, Byakuya also came close to Kabuto's ear.
"Yakushi Nono!"
Upon hearing this name, Kabuto was completely stunned!
He had thought Byakuya might guess he was Danzo's man or Orochimaru's man.
But he never expected the other party to utter that name.
Unsteady, Kabuto nearly fell to his knees.
"Well? Will you deny it?"
Byakuya watched Kabuto with interest, betting he wouldn't refute it.
Kabuto at this moment was completely deflated.
He had come thinking he had grasped Byakuya's secret, but instead, Byakuya shattered him with a single sentence!
"Forget it. Looking at you, you can't even speak properly."
Saying this, Byakuya walked right past Kabuto.
As for killing him?
Let's just say, the current Kabuto wasn't even qualified. If it were Dragon Kabuto here,
then Byakuya wouldn't mind having a match with him.
But an Ordinary Kabuto? Fighting him held no pressure at all.
"Danzo has people arranged on the road planning to ambush you!"
After revealing this information, Kabuto completely lost all confidence.
Byakuya had seen right through his entire being with just a few words, something the usually proud Kabuto couldn't accept.
But Byakuya acted as if he hadn't heard and simply left.
Only after Byakuya left did Kabuto let out a long sigh of relief.
Too terrifying!
The feeling Byakuya gave was too terrifying. Even when facing Orochimaru and Danzo, Kabuto never felt this way.
It was as if he had no secrets before him.
"Seems it really was unnecessary!"
Kabuto picked up the map of the route to the Land of Waves he had prepared to give Byakuya.
He had thought Byakuya, on his first mission outside the Village, would need it.
But he never expected Byakuya didn't need it at all!
"I'm afraid Danzo's men are in for trouble!"
Kabuto stared at Byakuya's departing back and said somewhat gleefully.
Serves Danzo right for daring to target someone possessing the top-tier Kekkei Genkai, Wood Release.
After all, this Kekkei Genkai could only be seen on the First Hokage nowadays!
