Chapter 514.1: The Flame
The house next to the prison that was assigned to Su Xiao was a two-story Japanese-style wooden house.
On the table in front of Su Xiao was a medium-sized fried fish, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of muddy soup. All of this was delivered to him this morning as his breakfast.
For Su Xiao, this amount of food wouldn't even be enough to label such a meal as a "light snack", but fortunately, there was food in his inventory.
Although he had made a deal with Mei Terumi last night, he was the first and last link in this deal. There was no reason for Mei Terumi to let Su Xiao live after he completed the task assigned to him.
But Su Xiao had no intention of becoming a puppet that would eventually be abandoned, so he wanted to leave this village as quickly as possible.
If Mei Terumi had shown a little sincerity last night, then Su Xiao would have helped her and killed a couple of people so that the two camps would be forced to sit down at the negotiating table and reach some sort of agreement.
However, Mei Terumi decided not to pay him even one yuan for his work, even though it was about eliminating important bigwigs from the enemy camp. To her, Su Xiao was a prisoner, a prisoner who couldn't leave Hidden Mist Village and would end up dying if he tried to escape.
To conclude a fruitful cooperation, the two sides had to have trump cards that they could use at any time.
In Mei Terumi's opinion, Su Xiao obviously didn't have any trump cards in hand.
It was a pity that Mei Terumi didn't understand Su Xiao and didn't know what crazy things he was willing to do.
Su Xiao didn't seem to be in any danger right now, but he wasn't. Mei Terumi will definitely kill him, sooner or later.
And he certainly wasn't going to help her. Even though he might have died because of his decision, he was the type of person who would rather risk his life in response to threats. It wasn't his style to compromise.
But Su Xiao's current situation wasn't very good. He was surrounded.
There were countless Shinobi around his house, and it would be impossible to eliminate them all. As for getting someone on your side...
Unfortunately, there were only two factions in Hidden Mist Village.
Because of killing the fourth Mizukage, his faction wanted to eat Su Xiao alive. As for the Mei Terumi faction, it was obvious from the conversation last night that they couldn't become allies.
— Bubtney, are you afraid of death?
Bubtney, who was happily eating a whole baked lamb, looked up.
— Woof, " said Bubtney, without a trace of fear.
— Then tonight, I'll test how fast you can run, " Su Xiao leaned back in his chair and began to prepare himself.
Life and death depended on the outcome of this night's business.
He was relatively safe right now, but the characters in this world weren't fools and each of them had their own thoughts and ideas. Su Xiao was destined to leave Hidden Mist Village from the very beginning. Fortunately, his glorious "track record" with the murder of the fourth Mizukage contributed to the implementation of his plans for the future.
His start in this world hadn't been very good, but if Su Xiao survived this bad start, he was confident that his plan would come true in the future.
----
At one o'clock in the morning, Su Xiao pushed the door open.
As soon as he left the house, the shinobi who had been watching him sprang into action, and the five jonins immediately disappeared into the night, with only one shinobi following close behind.
To them, Su Xiao was a double-edged sword that needed to be disposed of without fail after completing the job.
Under the cover of night, Su Xiao quickly moved on the roofs of houses while hiding his aura.
Ao, who was following closely behind, removed the blindfold on his eye, and the blood vessels on one of his cheeks bulged abruptly, after which his previously closed eye opened abruptly, revealing a view of his byakugan[1], and immediately after that, he began to closely observe Su Xiao's movements.
I couldn't find a better picture)
The direction Su Xiao was heading was towards Jongin's residence, one of Mei Terumi's targets.
This jongin was 69 years old and more experienced and skilled than Mei. He was a confidant of the third Mizukage and then assisted the fourth in his affairs.
In Hidden Mist Village, a village that was engulfed in flames due to the constant civil wars, a person who lived to be 69 years old was considered an old man, but even shinobi at that age became less agile and energetic. Among other things, this jongin was a physical type of shinobi, which caused him to become weaker and weaker every year.
This was the first reason why Su Xiao chose him. The second reason was because of its location. This elder's house was located on the outskirts of Hidden Mist Village. After killing it, he can try to escape immediately. With this old man's help, he would be able to take advantage of a very good chance to escape from Hidden Mist Village.
As for why he would kill him after all... The death of one of the intended targets would obviously cause the watchers to lower their guard, and he would seize the opportunity and wreak havoc.
But would Su Xiao's escape prove so simple and easy? Of course not.
[1] The Byakugan (literally meaning "White Eye") is an improved genome that descended from the Ootsutsuki Clan, and was later inherited by their distant descendants, the Hyuga Clan. Byakugan is considered one of the "Three Great Dojutsu", along with Sharingan and Rinnegan. In people with byakugan, the field of vision around them is about 360 degrees, except for a small blind spot on the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. The Byakugan's vision can penetrate almost any object, allowing users to see through walls, look underground, or even explore the contents of a person's body..
