Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 119 I Like You Wearing Glasses

Inside the inn, Aries came to report on the reconnaissance he had conducted over the past few days.

"Captain, the Left Guard General of the River Country only returns to his residence once every two weeks, and he always stays inside the west gate of the castle tower."

Even when he returned to his mansion in the noble district, he was surrounded by hundreds of warriors as guards.

Among those samurai were at least eight Sand Ninja.

As for the Grand Physician of the Central Palace, he lived directly within the Imperial Household Department.

After the battle between Sunagakure and Konoha, these officials became even more cautious.

"Please give me some more time, Captain. I will definitely find more information about them."

Ye Guang said, "You continue your investigation, and I will find a way to lure those two out of Kyoto."

"Lead to Kyoto? How do we lead to Kyoto?"

"Just wait for my news."

Ye Guang left the inn and boarded the carriage of the Great Treasury.

The carriage, illuminated by the night, arrived outside Kyoto. He changed carriages outside the city and boarded the carriage of Okura no Tomosa.

The carriage of Oi Chisa was filled with fragrance, and four sachets hung at the four corners.

"Mr. Miku, please forgive me for urging you so much. Ever since the Land of Lightning invented electricity, Kyoto has become inseparable from all kinds of electrical appliances."

With coal reserves running low, in a month, not only Kyoto, but even the castle tower will be without electricity.

I had the blueprints you gave me reviewed by craftsmen at a coal-fired power plant, and they said it's entirely possible to generate electricity using river water.

Today, I would like to ask you and the craftsmen to discuss on-site to determine the plan and site selection, and to see where is suitable to build a hydroelectric power station.

Miqu was a fake name given by Yeguang.

Ye Guang said, "I can't just draw a few blueprints and take away 100 million taels of silver. This is what I should do."

He was plotting in his mind how to persuade Oi Chisa to invite some nobles to the groundbreaking ceremony of the hydroelectric power station, thus drawing both targets away from Kyoto.

Walking downstream along the Yoshi River, Ye Guang chose a valley. Ye Guang said:

"The soil of the River Country is special. After the rivers flow through it, they will continuously erode downwards, carving out deep trenches."

These deep trenches can be fully utilized to build hydroelectric power stations.

This is a good spot. Just build a dam here, and you can create an artificial lake and generate electricity using the gravitational potential energy of the lake water.

Looking at the map, Oi Chisa couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Miku, why not build a dam upstream of Kyoto? It could generate electricity and regulate the water flow to Kyoto."

Nightlight shook his head and said:

"If a dam is built upstream of Kyoto, and someone blows up the dam, then Kyoto will be finished."

Don't overestimate the morality of ninjas. If I were a Sand Village ninja, I would not hesitate to blow up the dam to destroy the Land of Rivers, which is protected by Konoha, even if the flood would kill thousands of Kyoto residents.

Oi Chisa looked somber.

The destructive power of ninjas is too great. Ordinary people carefully maintain their living environment, but a few ninjutsu from a passing ninja can destroy everything.

"I never expected Mr. Miqu to know so much about ninjas."

"Through killing and being killed, I've learned a few things."

Koi Chisa discovered that Miki was quite optimistic.

“Mr. Miqu, I wonder if you would be willing to settle in the land of Kawachi? I am willing to apply to my brother to grant you the official position of Governor of Kawachi, to build and manage dams and hydroelectric power stations.”

Koi Chisa is the younger sister of the daimyo of the land of Kawanokuni. She has never married and helps the daimyo manage the important Daikyoin (Great Treasury).

A thought struck Ye Guang: Wouldn't this make it easier for him to get closer to the nobles? He said:

"Is the Daizoin of Kawano Province in trouble? Does this mean that if I become the governor of Kawachi, I won't get the 100 million ryo reward?"

Koi Chisa smiled and said, "I will send the reward money and the official seal of the governor of Kawachi tomorrow."

For several days in a row, Ye Guang worked at full capacity in the Dazangyuan, just to start the foundation laying as soon as possible.

Oi Chisa has agreed to invite nobles to the groundbreaking ceremony and hold a grand ceremony.

Koi Chisa was increasingly moved that a wandering ninja from the Land of Lightning was working so hard for the hydroelectric power station in the Land of Rivers.

On second thought, he realized he couldn't treat Miku as a wandering ninja any longer; he would settle in Kyoto and become the governor of Kawachi.

Their relationship progressed rapidly, with Yoru deliberately nurturing it, and Koi Chisa also being attracted to Yoru's engineering talent.
-
The full moon was like a silver plate.

Moonlight shines into the courtyard deep within the Dazang Temple.

The power outage and the absence of electric lights, with only moonlight and candlelight for illumination, actually made it even more romantic.

Inside the boudoir, the window was open, letting in moonlight. Bathed in the moonlight, Oi Chisa blushed and asked, "Why do I always wear glasses?"

Looking at Xiaojing Zhisha's snow-white body under the moonlight, Ye Guang said, "I like you wearing glasses; it creates a unique and beautiful contrast."

"But... my glasses keep wobbling around, it's uncomfortable."

"You must wear it."

As the younger sister of the daimyo, Oi Chisa had never seen such a domineering man before, and thus became even more cooperative.

Outside the boudoir, maids waited in the corridor, ready to be summoned at any time to serve Miss Chisa.

The maid's eyes flickered, glancing frequently towards Miss Chisa's study, where preliminary design drawings for the hydroelectric power station were kept.

She has relayed everything that happened here to the Iwa ninja spies, and it remains to be seen what the spy chief will choose.

If the Land of Rivers builds a hydroelectric power station, it will no longer buy coal from the Land of Earth, as coal is a vital economic pillar for the Land of Earth.

Two weeks later, the equipment drawings were completed, and the foundation stone laying ceremony for the dam began.

Ye Guang, dressed in the official robes of the River Country and wearing a tall hat, sat on the platform.

Aries, wearing sunglasses, mingled among the craftsmen.

His eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, occasionally glanced towards the aristocratic rest area to the side.

Unexpectedly, the company commander actually lured the assassination target to the outskirts of Kyoto.

The hydroelectric power station is extremely important to the land of rivers. The Left General of the Imperial Guard and the Grand Master of the Palace were both invited nobles to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony for the hydroelectric power station.

The two nobles were surrounded by warriors and found it difficult to make a move.

Aries glanced at the captain, who was sitting next to the tall and beautiful Da Zangqing, the two of them chatting and laughing.

Two people who have had a relationship will have different boundaries than other people. Unintentional eye contact and occasional touches are different from ordinary friends.

Aries suspects that the captain must have slept with the sister of the daimyo of the land of rivers in order to complete the mission.

He wasn't taught how to use his charm during his initial training.

So it turns out that the charm of a handsome man is so effective.

Sigh, he's covered in bugs, looks like he'll never be able to use his good looks to his advantage in this lifetime.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held under the auspices of Okura no Tomosa.

"Distinguished nobles and artisans, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Kyoto Hydroelectric Power Station is now officially beginning."

The hydroelectric power station is a project that His Highness the Daimyo values ​​most, as it will solve the power shortage caused by insufficient coal...

With a smile, Ye Guang looked at the profile of Xiao Jingzhisa in her long dress.

His peripheral vision swept over the guards of the Left Imperial Guard General.

I wonder which of those guards are Sand Ninja.

Before the war between Konoha and Sunagakure has even ended, these opportunists can't hold back any longer.

It is unclear whether the fence-sitting behavior of the Left Imperial Guard General and other nobles was spontaneous or ordered by the daimyo in secret.

Perhaps the daimyo of the Land of Rivers is also afraid of Sunagakure's victory.

As Oi Chisa delivered her crisp speech, four craftsmen suddenly jumped up and rushed straight to the podium!

"Kill the governor of Kawachi! We must not allow the river province to build a hydroelectric power station!"

"Earth Release: Rock Iron Cannon Technique!"

The four men simultaneously spat out pebbles, which grew larger in the wind, becoming boulders one or two meters in size, and flew towards the platform.

Ye Guang was taken aback. I was plotting to murder a nobleman, so why was someone coming straight at me?
Startled, Oi Chisa immediately drew her rapier and swung it repeatedly, splitting a rock in three strikes.

She actually had a pretty good swordsmanship.

She quickly ordered the samurai: "Protect the Kawachi magistrate!"

After saying that, she grabbed the luminous lamp and fled to the side.

"Iwa ninja spies are trying to sabotage the hydroelectric power station for coal." Oi Chisa's face was anxious, but she tried to comfort her:
"Don't worry, Miqu, I will definitely make sure nothing happens to you."

Ye Guang said, "I know I'll be fine."

Things have gotten chaotic.

Nightlight gestured to Aries, signaling Aries to take action.
