Lord-Hokage, I heard this news in my shop. Two customers were drunk in my store and they leaked their plan.” Li Yaoxiang blushed and responded breathlessly.

It didn’t look like a lie.

“Un.” Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, “Who is this people trying to do harm to the village’s ninja?”

“Uh… those two people are regular customers in my shop. One named Yuichi, who sells vegetables. The other is Miyada Yuya, a ninja.”

“They seem to be saying that they will act in two days. As for the specific details, I don’t know. When they were drunk, they only said a little. I don’t understand what they said is true or false, but I’m afraid things they said are true. I don’t want to see any Konoha’s Ninja injured, so I’m reporting this right now.”

During the story, Li Yaoxiang began to show a little nervousness. It really looked like an ordinary commoner that fears Konoha Ninja’s injury.

Not long after, the masked Kakashi suddenly appeared beside Sarutobi Hiruzen and whispered Li Yaoxiang’s identity background in his ear.

Sarutobi Hizaki seems the kind of person to welcome people with a smile. But he still listened very carefully.

After confirming that there was no problem with Li Yaoxiang’s identity, he replied: “En. Very good. I understood this matter. Thank you for telling us this news. You go back first. I will send someone special for those two people.”

Li Yaoxiang smile like an honest man who seemed to be in awe of Hokage, “Thank you. If it weren’t for the ninjas guarding Konoha, I wouldn’t be here still living in the village safely. ”

After Li Yaoxiang left, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to Kakashi instructed aside: “Send someone to check this person who sells vegetables, called Yuichi. And that ninja named Miyada Yuya.”

Kakashi did not answer.

AD

But just when he was about to leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to remember something, adding again: “The two people and including the one who just reported; sent people to monitor to see if there is anything abnormal.”

“Yes!”

……

After leaving the Hokage room, as if nothing happened, Li Yaoxiang returned to the store as usual to entertain customers.

On this day, no matter whether it was the vegetable seller Yuichi or the middle-aged Genin Miyada Yuya, they had no further contact with Li Yaoxiang. This was the approach proposed by Li Yaoxiang when planning how to act yesterday. To avoid arousing suspicion from others, both of them agreed.

Because of this, in the process of monitoring their three people, Konoha’s Ninja found nothing unusual. Their lives were nothing special.

However, after investigating the identity and background of these three people, the Konoha’s Ninjas found that they all have one thing in common, that was, their family members were accidentally killed by Konoha Ninja during the fight between ninjas, and now, they were the only left alone in the family.

After discovering this suspicious point, it made them believe a little bit more about the news given by Li Yaoxiang. However, Li Yaoxiang’s suspicion was not dismissed. After all, Li Yaoxiang’s family also had a similar accident. Therefore, they would not rule out the probability that Li Yaoxiang is an associate.

After reporting the conclusions to Sarutobi Hiruzen, he did not pay much attention to it at this time. After all, the person involved was only a commoner and a Genin.

Even with the possible accomplice Li Yaoxiang, as long as they are prepared, nothing will escape. Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he couldn’t afford any big waves to happen. Therefore, he just sent someone to continue monitoring them.

As for why not send Yamanaka Clan* people to spy on their real thoughts?

[*TL note: The Yamanaka Clan (Yamanaka Ichizoku) is a family of shinobi found in Konohagakure. They specialize in mind-related techniques, and they own and run a flower shop in the village. They traditionally lead the Konoha Barrier Team.]

AD

The reason was very simple: even if they peep out that they really want to harm Konoha Ninja, then what? Can they kill the killer early? Obviously, this will not work. After all, there would be no proof.

How would the Konoha explain to the mass that they planned to do harm?

If they rashly deal with the common people but could not give any firm evidence, wouldn’t this chill the hearts of the villagers? How could the rest of the commoner live in Konoha with peace of mind? Wouldn’t everyone start being afraid and live in fear?

Therefore, no matter what Yuichi, Miyada, and the others have in mind, as long as they don’t do it, Konoha will not act on them. At most, they will only pay more attention to the suspects.

………….

Just like that, two consecutive days passed.

None of the ninjas who watched found anything unusual. None of the three had any contact.

It was peaceful, but it was not until the hands-on time reported by Li Yaoxiang that they discovered the anomaly.

That is, Yuichi, the vegetable seller, hid a handful of kunai with a detonating charm at home. And today, he carried it on him. The same was true for Miyada Yuya. Only Li Yaoxiang with no abnormality. The store is still open as usual.

Not long after, the two people joined together on one of the bustling streets.

This street is one of the roads leading to the Academy.

And their goal was also obvious: the students in the Academy or the ninja instructors.

AD

This was also the suggestion that Li Yaoxiang gave them, saying that it would be more convenient for them to start here. After all, the instructors have retired from the frontline for a long time, and perhaps their vigilance would not be so strong.

Also, even if the plan fails, they can find a few “future ninjas” to back them up.

To avoid arousing suspicion from the surrounding crowd, the two communicated softly after the meeting.

“Where’s Li Yaoxiang? Why didn’t Li Yaoxiang come?”

Yuichi, the vegetable seller, the first thought that came to his mind was that damned Li Yaoxiang must have shrunk!

However, what made him didn’t expect was that middle-aged ninja Yuya Miyada patted his shoulder at this time and immediately covered Li Yaoxiang: “Relax, it’s okay. I gave him another task. If our side is exposed and attracts the attention of others, it may be easier for him to succeed.”

Yuichi, the vegetable seller, his stomach full of anger disappeared when he heard the words.

Immediately afterward, the two acted according to plan.

Yuichi walked ahead and act first. After all, as an ordinary person, he can’t detonate the ‘detonating charm’, so he still needed the ninja Miyada to be in the distance.

However, not long after the distance between the two of them was opened and before they could even get close to the Academy, the two masked Anbu ninjas suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking Yuichi’s path: “What you planned has been discovered! Obediently surrender!”

Yuichi was taken aback at first, and then his face became extremely hideous!

“Damn it! Go to hell!” Yuichi roared loudly. He took out a kunai with a detonator cham attached to it and rushed forward.
