Finally Waiting for You!

"I don't think we can run around like headless flies anymore. Instead of attracting attention, we can't get anything at the same time. Why don't we start digging for this clue now? Maybe we can make a breakthrough around this matter and come up with a qualified plan!"

This time, no one had any objections.

Because they had already suffered a great blow, they didn't know what else they could do. They could only firmly grasp this piece of information that Kushina had unexpectedly obtained and bet on it!

So on the third day, relying on the money in their hands, Yahiko and the others began to take turns to eat in the restaurant called "Mist Mountain" that Kushina worked at.

While gathering information, it was also a condition to create a chance encounter.

However, for two days, they did not see the person that Kushina mentioned. They had collected some other bits and pieces of information, but after sorting them out, they found that they did not need it at all.

In the blink of an eye, there were only two days left in the seven days deadline. If not for Nagato and Konan constantly encouraging him, Yahiko felt that he was really going to be discouraged.

After all, he was only eight years old now, and he was not the person in the original story who conquered everyone with his personality charm. In the end, he created Akatsuki and quickly strengthened him.

On the sixth day, just as Yahiko and the others were about to give up, the person Kushina mentioned finally appeared and led another person in with a very flattering expression.

As a result, when the person saw the environment here, his face immediately darkened. "Are you joking with me?"

"Kogetsu-sama, please calm down. Although the environment here is ordinary, the food is very delicious. I believe you will not be disappointed."

"Hmph, it's best if that's the case."

After a cold snort, Kogetsu were led to his seats by a guy named Satsuki.

Throughout the entire process, Kushina only gave Yahiko, who had used the Transformation Technique, a look.

Then, he saw Yahiko ask someone to settle the bill and leave without looking back.

Not long after, three strangers walked in and sat behind Kogetsu.

These three people were naturally Konan and the others who had used the Transformation Technique.

Moreover, it was obvious that this 'Kogetsu-sama' was definitely not an ordinary person.

"We caught a big fish!"

This was the first thought that came to Yahiko and the others.

However, after a few days of anxious waiting, when it really came to this moment, they actually calmed down.

"I wonder if the food here suits Kogetsu-sama's appetite?" After serving the dishes, Satsuki was very attentive.

"Well, it's okay."

Although she was not satisfied with the environment here, she decided not to argue with him for the sake of the delicious food.

"Tell me, why are you looking for me? If it's a Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, don't talk about it. Although my Hozuki Clan is in charge of these Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, it is still Mizukage-sama who has the final say on who uses them. If you have this idea, then the money will be wasted."

Kogetsu Hozuki looked at the other party and said with some ridicule.

In fact, from the beginning, he had guessed that the other party had tried every means to find him, and sent money to deliver things to him. Why did he invite him here to eat?

However, he didn't say anything. He would only point out this matter when he had gained enough benefits.

He was fearless!

It was no wonder. After all, with the Hozuki Clan's status in Kirigakure, as long as they didn't rebel, even Mizukage wouldn't be able to do anything to them.

Don't forget, their Hozuki Clan was one of the clan who established Kirigakure. The Second Mizukage, was also a genius of their clan. So what if they clearly bullied you?

Kogetsu Hozuki was originally waiting to see this guy's disappointed and flustered expression, but what he did not expect was that not only did the other party not get angry, but he also laughed and said, "Of course I know that the selection of the seven people of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist must be personally chosen by Mizukage-sama. Why would I trouble Kogetsu-sama to do such a laborious and unappreciative thing?"

Kogetsu Hozuki narrowed his eyes. He found that he might have underestimated the other party. The money he took might be a little hot.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

The smile on Satsuki's face became even more sincere as he said, "I only asked Kogetsu-sama to come out and help a few people fight for a chance to test the sword. Presumably, with Kogetsu-sama's identity as a member of the Hozuki Clan, even Mizukage-sama will show some face. As for who Mizukage-sama chooses in the end, it won't affect my respect for Kogetsu-sama. There will also be generous respect in the future. What does Kogetsu-sama think?"

Kogetsu Hozuki's expression immediately became cold. The other party actually had this idea.

If it was just like what the other party said, it didn't seem to be much, but thinking deeper, this fellow completely wanted to use his Hozuki Clan's reputation and fame to achieve his goal!

To put it simply, he only needed to recommend a few people to test the sword, and the result would be acceptable.

However, he was a knife tester recommended in the name of the Hozuki Clan, so how could Mizukage not think too much about it?

When the time comes, if the Mizukage, for some reason, really favored the person he recommended in the past, then the other party was definitely making a lot of profit!

Even if they all failed, this guy would definitely not lose out, and would even reap benefits in the middle.

"How dare you scheme against my Hozuki Clan. Who gave you the backing?"

Seeing that Kogetsu Hozuki was about to turn hostile, Satsuki couldn't laugh anymore. He said very sincerely, "How can it be a scheme? This is a win-win deal. There are always some people who dream of reaching the heavens in one step. They feel pity for themselves for not having the chance, but, the respected Kogetsu-sama, gave them this opportunity. Moreover, they also proved in front of Mizukage-sama that they had no one to be their only relative. In the end, their reputation, trust, power, status, and wealth were all easily obtained by you. I really can't think of what you are worried about."

Kogetsu Hozuki was a little tempted. Indeed, there was also a chance to operate it.

There were two sides to everything. As long as it worked properly, it finally proved that he did not covet the position of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. It was just a simple recommendation. Then, not only could he gain both fame and fortune, he might also be able to obtain Mizukage's trust.

Seeing Kogetsu Hozuki not speak, Satsuki immediately knew that the other party was moved, so he continued to add, "There are a total of five people. I will double each of them. How about it?"

"Not enough! Add more! The name of my Hozuki Clan is not so easy to borrow, not to mention that I have to bear all the risks alone. Don't think that I don't know how many benefits you can get from it. If you don't show your sincerity, then don't blame me for skipping you and going to find someone myself."

Satsuki was also angered by the greed of the other party. He actually used himself to threaten him. As rumored, he was greedy.

However, he was not afraid of you being greedy, but he was afraid that you would not be greedy!
