Chapter 303: Chapter 303 : Wano 13
Kirito activated his stealth mode. His presence became almost invisible, a particular jutsu he learned from Jiraiya, blending seamlessly with the shadows. He moved quickly and silently through the streets, avoiding guards and civilians alike. His ninja training came in handy as he slipped past the city's defences without raising any alarms.
Though he is usually the loud type who just blasts his way in right now he has to be discreet. The reason is that it was about to kidnap Orochi and replace him with his clone. So can't make noise and let others know his presence in this particular mission.
Reaching the outer walls of the Shogun's mansion, Kirito paused, assessing the situation. The mansion was heavily guarded, but he had a plan. He scaled the wall with ease, his movements fluid and precise. Once inside, he found himself in a beautifully manicured garden. He crouched low, moving from one shadow to the next, his senses on high alert.
Though normal people can't see him either but he rather stay low for any Haki user.
Kirito knew he needed information about Orochi's top subordinates first, as taking them down was more important before going after Orochi himself, and of course, he would replace them with his clone as well.
He made his way to a side building where he suspected the mansion's records were kept. Slipping inside through an open window, to gather the information he just simply turned himself a worker and asked around. These were Orochi's highest-ranking officials: Fukurokuju, the head of the Oniwabanshu; Kyoshiro, the ruthless yakuza boss; and several others.
Took more time than he wanted it to take, like an entire day but now with the information he needed in hand, he set out to take them down one by one. He started with Fukurokuju, who was in his quarters. Kirito moved like a ghost, incapacitating the ninja leader with a swift, silent strike. He then placed a clone in Fukurokuju's place to ensure no one suspected anything.
Next, he targeted Kyoshiro, who was in a meeting with other yakuza bosses. Kirito waited until the meeting was over and Kyoshiro was alone. In a swift, well-coordinated attack, he subdued Kyoshiro and replaced him with another clone. The process was repeated for the rest of Orochi's key men, each one taken down and replaced without raising any alarms.
Finally, it was time to deal with Orochi himself. Kirito made his way to the central building of the mansion. He navigated through the lavish halls, avoiding patrols and security measures with ease. As he approached Orochi's chambers, he heard voices coming from inside.
Kirito paused, pressing himself against the wall near the door.
'That sure is a familiar voice ?'
He listened carefully and recognized one of the voices as Kanjuro's. The conversation was anything but boring.
"I've provided you with all the information about the rebellion, Orochi-sama," Kanjuro said, his voice dripping with false loyalty. "They trust me completely. They have no idea I'm your spy."
Kirito's eyes widened as even he wasn't expecting people would play spy and ninja in this world, at least most don't. Kanjuro, one of Kin'emon's trusted allies, was a traitor. Orochi laughed, his voice full of malice. "Excellent work, Kanjuro. With your help, we'll crush the rebellion before it even starts. The last member of Kozuki clan, let end it"
"Well seems like I was at the right place in a very wrong time. Its gonna be fun."
With a burst of speed, Kirito entered the room, his blade at the ready. Orochi barely had time to react before Kirito was upon him. He knocked Orochi unconscious with a precise strike and quickly replaced him with a clone.
As Kirito tied up the real Orochi, he thought about the implications of Kanjuro's betrayal.
And Kanjuro himself, well Kirito clone took care of him.
This information would change everything. He needed to get back to his allies and warn them.
Teleporting the unconscious Orochi and Kanjuro, Kirito rgot out of the mansion, avoiding detection with the help of his clones. Once outside, he made his way back to a safe location where he could contact his team.
'Its finally time to contact them anyways.'
"Now that this is done. Only Handling Kaido is left. Once I give this two to the crew, I need to get back into my training. " Kirito muttered.
Kirito felt a surge of satisfaction. The mission had been a success, but the real battle was just beginning. With Orochi in their hands and Kanjuro's treachery revealed, they had a fighting chance to liberate Wano. But first, he needed to regroup with his friends and plan their next move.
