The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 299 The calm before the storm

"General Kujo, the people of the Final Ban have been monitoring the Kanjo Bugyo and the Kujo family for three days. Not to mention how many missions the Final Ban abandoned during these three days, the number of Final Ban ninjas who died just because of this is more than double digits."

"And for some reason, recently, the Inazuma families, including the Kujo family and the Tong family, have fallen into a state of peace, which has increased the difficulty of collecting intelligence for the final episode by several levels."

Ayato Kamisato took a sip of the milk tea that Thomas made for him. The sweet milk tea did not remove the distress on his face. Ayato Kamisato couldn't understand why the two families, the Tong family and the Kujo family, were so patient. For three whole days, apart from some trivial clues, the people from the final chapter did not find any evidence to convict him, and even some major actions did not happen.

The complaints from her partners made Kujo Sara feel a little apologetic. After all, investigating this matter was originally just her job. Now dragging the Kamisato family into this has already caused a lot of trouble for the Kamisato family. As a result, there have been casualties in the final episode in the past few days. This made Kujo Sara feel a little guilty. With guilt in mind, Kujo Sara solemnly promised Kamisato Ayato.

"Don't worry, Master Kamisato. When this matter is settled, I will report the Kamisato family's efforts and contributions to the general without any omissions. As for those who died, I will grant them a special pension."

"Hehe, General Kujo, you are joking. As a fellow Inazuma family, for the sake of Inazuma's safety, even if our entire army is wiped out in the final battle, our Kamisato family will not have any resentment at all."

Knowing that Kujo Sara would definitely do what he promised, Kamisato Ayato, who had achieved her goal, smiled slightly and continued to speak along with Kujo Sara's words in a rather heroic manner. Realizing that Kamisato Ayato was waiting for her to say this, she cursed Kamisato Ayato in her heart, calling him a fox. Kujo Sara did not say anything more.

Because now Kujo Sara believes that the current head of the Kamizato family will share all the information with her instead of just perfunctorily giving her some information that has no value at all. After all, the value of the information he provides is directly linked to the contribution of the Kamizato family to Inazuma.

The ending naturally did not surprise Kujo Sara. Kamisato Ayato did come up with some clues, but what made Kujo Sara feel a little difficult to accept was that these clues were just trivial things and could not convict the two major families at all.

"General Kujo, don't you have any clues?"

"Me? I sent my men to Inazuma Castle to investigate the Fatui's whereabouts, but maybe the Fatui hid too well, so my men only found out a few details."

Kujo Sara put all the clues on the table with a headache. As expected of the patriarch of two big families, this level of caution is not something that an ordinary small family can match.

Wait, small families, yes, maybe she could start investigating from the small families that are attached to the two major families. These small families would not act as cautiously as the Tong family and the Kujo family.

"Master Kamisato, please send some of the last ninjas who are good at hiding to monitor the small families affiliated with the Kujo family to see if they can get any clues. I will send people to search the small families affiliated with the Tong family. We may be able to get some clues from these small families."

"General Kujo, isn't the search too radical? It may cause protests from those families." Kamisato Ayato frowned. As the head of the Kamisato family, he naturally knew very well what the word "search" meant. If a family was searched, it would be like throwing the face of this family on the ground and stepping on it. It might even be possible that this family would not be able to survive in Inazuma in the future and would be pointed at by people when they walked on the street.

Moreover, such things have never been seen often in the history of Inazuma. According to the records of the Kamisato family, apart from the struggles between families, such searches without any conflicts of interest between families definitely did not exceed three digits in the history of Inazuma. Now Kujo Sara is actually going to take the shogunate soldiers to search, and Kamisato Ayato is a little worried that something unexpected will happen.

"Don't worry, Master Kamisato. This family is responsible for collecting crystallized bone marrow for Kanjo Bugyo. I have already sent people to keep an eye on them. I originally wanted to wait for them to reveal their true colors, but now it seems that I need to go there myself."

"If we can't find any information, then we can only ask the traveler to help investigate in Inazuma. According to the intelligence, the traveler seems to be very good at this kind of thing, especially in finding treasure chests."

Kujo Sara nodded at Kamisato Ayato's suggestion. He had read the information of the traveler named Ying countless times, and Kujo Sara highly recognized Ying's ability to find clues. If he could not find any clues in those small families, he could only entrust the traveler to help find Xiao Suo of the Fatui.

After all, a traveler without any intelligence on Umigi Island could find the Fatui's evil eye factory, so if she and her shogunate soldiers were looking for them together, there was no reason why the traveler couldn't find clues about the Fatui.

"By the way, I'm going to trouble you, Master Kamisato, regarding Inazuma Castle. The Kujo family may have some secret deals with the Fatui now. Many of my men are no longer trustworthy."

After taking a look at the Inazuma map that Kamisato Ayato had placed on the table, Kujo Sara suddenly realized that the reason why the men she sent to search for the Faints in Inazuma Castle had never found any news about the Faints was probably because these men were originally from the Kujo family. If her adoptive father wanted to hide the matter about the Faints from her, her men would never tell her even if they found any.

Damn it, it seems that after these things are over, she will need to cultivate some confidants of her own. Thinking of the relationship between her subordinates and the Kujo family, Kujo Sara clenched her fists. She didn't want to experience this feeling of being in the dark again. The matter of cultivating her own confidants must be put on the agenda.

"I understand. I will send someone from the Final Division to keep a close eye on Inazuma Castle. I will also arrange the rest of the matters as soon as possible."

After Kujo Sara said that her men might not be trustworthy, Kamisato Ayato understood that the old dog in the Kujo family must have discovered what Kujo Sara had noticed, so he was secretly trying to trip up Kujo Sara.

However, what the Kamisato family is best at is gathering intelligence. There was a gleam in Kamisato's eyes. Since the Fatui have begun to become restless, he should contact Captain Beidou to start his plan.

Now, no matter whether they quietly wait for the rats in the dark to come out or take the initiative to catch them, the fate of the Kujo family and the Tong family is already doomed. Cooperate with the Fatui, haha, you will eventually pay the price for your foolish greed and ambition.
