The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 283: Transmitting Intelligence

"Work is better than sleep~"

"I really don't know why the master asked me to come to Haigi Island to get information. Moreover, it has been so long, why hasn't the person who was supposed to contact me come yet? How about I take a nap first?"

"No, no, I can't sleep. If the person delivering the information sees me sleeping and tells the master of the family, he will definitely make me work overtime."

After hesitating for a while, Zaoyou resolutely took out a raspberry and stuffed it into his mouth. With a light bite, the sour juice of the unripe raspberry exploded in Zaoyou's mouth. Even though Zaoyou was mentally prepared for this indescribable sourness, it still made him shiver.

"This, this is too sour. What kind of advice did the seniors in the final episode give me?"

Swallowing the saliva that was madly secreted from her mouth, Zaoyou, who looked much more energetic, frowned and started to scout on the branches. It was obvious that this bite of sour raspberries made Zaoyou's sleepiness disappear without a trace, but this did not make Zaoyou very happy. With no trace of sleepiness in her mind, Zaoyou couldn't help but worry about her height. Perhaps because she didn't sleep this time, she might have missed the opportunity to grow taller.

"Are you the contact person who is here to get the information? If possible, can you come down from the tree? A tail suddenly grew on a tree, which is very conspicuous no matter how you look at it."

"Hey~ Zaoyou was discovered?"

Zaoyou turned his head to look at his tail. Well, there was no leaves covering his tail and it was exposed. Seeing that he could not hide anymore, Zaoyou jumped up, used the wind element to cushion the impact, and landed steadily in front of the man under the tree.

"Hello, my name is Zaoyou, I'm the one who will be in charge of connecting with you. Um...wait, we need to exchange secret codes."

Thinking of what the head of the family had said before coming here to get the information, if it wasn't sent by Thomas, they would need to exchange secret codes, otherwise they would likely be in danger, Zaoyou immediately became alert. Although the man in front of her looked familiar, she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

"Question: What kind of creature is Paimon?"

"Answer: Paimon is an emergency food."

Hearing the man in front of him give the code word for word, the vigilant Zaoyou felt relieved. It was said that this code was thought up by Thomas and the traveler together, and Zaoyou didn't think anyone else could guess it.

"Phew~ Congratulations, you got the answer right."

Zaoyou put the big sword hidden in the bushes back on her back. Before, she did not carry the weapon on her back in order to hide in the tree more concealedly. If the person in front of her did not match the signal, Zaoyou would let him know how powerful her swordsmanship was.

"What a cautious ninja. Hello, my name is Kaedehara Manye. You can just call me Manye. I was entrusted by Mr. Thomas to give you this information."

When Wan Ye saw Hayato put the big sword back on his back before handing over the information to him, he couldn't help but admire him. But what puzzled Wan Ye was that were the people in the Kamisato family so confident that such a young child could complete such a dangerous mission?
"Maple Leaf, Maple Leaf, hey! You, are you the Maple Leaf who slipped away right under the General's nose?"

As the violent organization of the Kamisato family, they naturally have their own intelligence network. For some people that the Kamisato family wants to win over, Kano Nana will force Sawayuki to recognize their faces, and Manye is surprisingly one of the people on the list.

It was just because Zaoyou had never seen Fengyuan Manye in person. After seeing Fengyuan Manye just now, Zaoyou felt that Fengyuan Manye looked familiar, but still couldn't remember who he was. "This is the information compiled by Mr. Thomas. He asked me to tell you that the authentic part of this information has been marked. Mr. Thomas is not sure whether the unmarked part is correct. You should pay attention to it."

After handing a piece of paper filled with information to Zaoyou, Zaoyou stuffed the paper into the interlayer of her clothes with a serious expression. This was her first time doing a task and she couldn't be careless, but before leaving Zaoyou still asked Manye a question.

"Manye, is Thomas okay? He was the one who delivered the information in person several times before."

"Mr. Thomas is just too busy to leave. As for the safety issue, considering Mr. Thomas's character, I don't think anyone in the resistance would do anything to him."

Thinking about how the rebels and Thomas were always talking and laughing, although he didn't know why Thomas would entrust him to pass on information, Wan Ye was not worried about Thomas's safety.

"I'm glad Thomas is okay. Mr. Manye, I'll be leaving first. Take care."

Hearing Manye say that Toma was fine, Zaoyou breathed a sigh of relief. The guy who clamored to learn ninjutsu as soon as he saw her was quite nice to her. Zaoyou didn't want anything to happen to Toma.

"Take care, I'll stay here for a while, if there's anything unexpected I'll help you stop it."

Manye touched the tiger fish knife on his waist. He was not bragging. He, Kaedehara Manye, could defeat a group of ordinary soldiers from Kaigi Island and the shogunate army by himself.

Inside the Coral Palace on Umigi Island, Thomas, who was helping to count weapons and food supplies, looked in the direction of Kamisato Yashiki. As an "outsider" who had not directly expressed his intention to join the resistance, even though Thomas had good relationships with people, after this incident, he could still sense some wariness in the eyes of the resistance soldiers when they looked at him.

In order to prevent the resistance army from noticing that he had been passing intelligence about Umigi Island to the Kamisato family, Thomas specially found Beidou this time, hoping that Beidou could send someone to help him send out the intelligence he had sorted out today.

And Beidou did not disappoint Thomas. Maybe it was because the Kamisato family usually took care of her business, so Beidou, who originally did not want to get involved in such matters, still asked Manye to make a trip.

While Thomas was still worried about the Kamisato family, inside the shogunate's camp, Kujo Sara was looking at a secret letter carefully. The letter not only recorded what happened in front of the Coral Palace today, but also that the Fatui really appeared on Umigi Island.

Putting down the information sent by her confidant, Kujo Sara's face looked a little solemn. At this time, the Fatui suddenly appeared on Kaigi Island. If the Fatui were just passing by, Kujo Sara would have swallowed her bow and arrows right now. Thinking back to the information her adoptive father had shown her at the Kujo family before, Kujo Sara fell into deep thought.

Could it be that the Kanjo Bugyo were really colluding with the Fatui? But what was the purpose of the Fatui going to Umijima? To help Umijima fight against the shogunate army? No, this was not something that could be solved by diplomacy. It might lead to a war between the two countries. The Fatui would not openly support Umijima.

There must be a deeper secret in this. Kujo Sara clenched her fists tightly with a gloomy face. This war concerns the general's face. Kujo Sara will not allow herself to fail. With so many variables now, it seems that she also needs to find a helper.

Knowing that the Fatui were not so easy to deal with, Kujo Sara, who was confident that she could defeat the rebels, had to seek help from others this time. This made Kujo Sara subconsciously think of the Kujo family, but as soon as this thought came out, the words of Yae Shinko that day came to her mind again.

No, it is still uncertain whether the Kujo family has reached some kind of agreement with the Fatui, so she cannot go to the Kujo family for help. Kujo Sara thought for a while, and finally she realized that the only guy in the entire Inazuma who could help her without worrying about being stabbed in the back was that guy.
