Investigation Team

After a pretty good birthday party, Nagasawa was once again summoned by Minato.

In the Hokage's office, Minato handed a document to Nagasawa and said, "Take a look at this intel first."

Nagasawa opened the document bag and quickly browsed through the information Minato handed him.

After a while, Nagasawa successfully extracted the keyword.

"Golden organization?"

Minato nodded: "According to the investigation results, the fake Iwagakure Shinobi turned out to be black market Shinobi that Gold organization hired."

"If the war ceases, their business will not be as good as during war." Nagasawa saw where Minato was going.

Although he was just an ordinary Konoha Chunin, he knew a little about the organization that sold high-quality Ninja tools.

Minato handed Nagasawa an envelope and said, "This is some information about the Gold organization that I asked Anbu to sort out. Take a look. However, there is no key information in it. Konoha does not know much about the Gold organization and has not investigated much about it. I am going to set up an investigation team to investigate Golden Organization, and your squad will be in charge of this team. You will be the leader, and you will specifically investigate Gold Organization's strength."

"After the investigation is concluded, I will send some reinforcement to aid you based on the situation. Of course, if you think that you can deal a devastating blow to the Golden Organization on your own, I won't stop you. This mission is divided into two steps. The first is investigation and the other is the attack. Each step will be an independent S-level mission."

Minato briefed the details for this mission accurately.

"No problem, I'll show this information to Kakashi and the others, and then make some preparations. We can go in the afternoon at the latest." Nagasawa nodded.

He was not stressed. At this stage, he was not afraid of any other organization except for Akatsuki, which was dangerous for him.

After all, Nagato's Rinnegan and Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan weren't easy to deal with.

Although Nagato hadn't developed Rinnegan for too long, it was Rinnegan nonetheless. If Nagato was willing to burn his life away, he would be a one-man army that could fight any country on his own.

His 52% Whitebeard might not be able to withstand it, but he should be able to do something against Nagato if he raised it to 100%.

After all, although Whitebeard was strong, Nagasawa's template was the Summit War of Marineford's Whitebeard. Compared to Whitebeard during his prime, it was nowhere close obviously.

Even though Pain's Chibaku Tensei wasn't as destructive as Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Pain had many tricks up his sleeve. His Human Path and Naraka Path, for example, made Nagasawa wary.

"Hm, I'll have to trouble you with this mission. This mission is much more dangerous than last time." Minato smiled warmly.

"It's fine. Leave it to me. If the enemy is too strong, I will write it in the report." Nagasawa replied with a smile.

Although he was confident in his own strength, Nagasawa was not boastful. The Shinobi World was very vast, and there might be some strange things hidden in the dark.

After leaving the Hokage building and returning to Anbu Base, Nagasawa first checked the intel about the Gold organization.

After reading it, Nagasawa frowned slightly. There really was not much written inside.

Aside from the fact that the base of the Golden Organization was in the Land of Rivers, the rest of the information was basically useless.

Even the information about the organization being in the Land of River was still mere speculation.

Because the Golden Organization had many transactions in the Land of Rivers every year, their personnel frequently appeared in the Land of Rivers. The special nature of the Land of Rivers itself was also part of it.

Nagasawa called Kakashi and the others and distributed the information.

When Nagasawa felt that Kakashi had read the information, he said, "This is our mission this time. Investigate the strength of the Golden Organization and then strike it down. Tell me what you think!"

Ensui was the first to ask, "How are we going to deal with them after the investigation? Will Konoha send Shinobi?"

Ensui had to ask. If he didn't know that Nagasawa and Fourth Hokage were good friends, he would have thought that Fourth Hokage was deliberately making things difficult for Nagasawa.

Although he knew that Nagasawa was very strong, the opponent was a well-known organization.

Ensui believed that they had to be certain before attacking. He didn't want to risk anything here.

"Minato will send reinforcement according to our investigation results. He'll definitely send backup if it's necessary, so there is no need to worry about this." Nagasawa explained.

Ensui was relieved as long as things were under control.

Nagasawa looked at Kakashi and asked, "Kakashi, what do you know about the Land of Rivers?"

Nagasawa knew nothing about the Land of Sichuan. The only thing he knew was that Sasori seemed to have died there, and there was someone possessing a red-eyed Blood Limit there.

Although Kakashi was young, his mission experience was the most abundant among the four.

Kakashi thought about it and said, "I don't know much about it, but I did go there to do a few missions."

The Land of Rivers was different from most countries. It did not have any Shinobi Village. In addition, the east part of the Land of Rivers was very fertile, so many Shinobi organizations had bases there.

So the eastern part of the Land of Sichuan was relatively developed, while the western part was relatively backward, and most of the people lived in the southern part.

...

Nagasawa nodded. Kakashi was indeed worthy of his tutelage.

Once Kabuto and Itachi were recruited to Anbu, Nagasawa would have three trump cards in his hands.

"Very good, you guys need to learn from Kakashi in the future. We often come into contact with various organizations and countries when we do high-rank missions. We should research more about the area." Nagasawa applauded.

Ensui was lost in thought. It was not that his memory was not good, but a Nara Clan was generally responsible for summarizing and analyzing the information, not searching for information.

However, there was no Nara Clan member would enter Anbu. Ensui felt that he should make a change and not treat himself as the traditional Nara Clan's Shinobi.

"Searching for information, then attack. After being beaten for so long, I'm so eager to beat someone up." Midori Inuzuka was eager to do this mission.

It was evident that her two months of training with Nagasawa had not been easy.

"Kakashi will go to the information room to find some information about the Land of Rivers. The rest of you, prepare yourselves. At three o'clock in the afternoon, we will gather in the base!" Nagasawa ordered.

"Yes, Squad Leader Nagasawa!"

Anbu Squad 7 was temporarily dismissed and prepared for the upcoming S-Rank mission.

Nagasawa was no exception. He went to the store to buy a few canned red beans in case his sugar intake was low during a mission.

Ensui went back to check Amegakure's information...
