100: Hmph ungrateful girl,

    “Is this information reliable? “ Nagato, who is disguised as Pain, asked Kakuzu with trembling hands. Thankfully this is just a puppet so Nagato could still control his expressions to appear indifferent.

    “Yes, the black market prides itself on their correct information. So far there has not been a single case of anyone getting false information. “ Kakuzu said with a nod. At the very least he had not seen any cases for his entire life.@@@@

    “ Good, then go and tell that manager and inform him that we will take this commission, “ Nagato said as his voice turned cold and indifferent.

    “ Okay, “ Kakuzu said as he turned around and left. He was in a good mood. Although the boss coming with him would make him split the bounty but this is way better than getting blacklisted.

    In the information, it was said that there are are least 100 of ninjas under Danzo''s command. With such a number even he wasn''t sure of capturing Danzo if he wanted to escape. After all for a man who could be called the darkness of Konoha, he may have many escape techniques.

    After Kakuzu left the room descended into silence until a woman’s voice sounded, “ What do you think about this Nagato “

    Nagato looked at the side and saw Konan appearing from the shadows. Her usual cold indifferent face suggests that the earlier conversation was just trivial but the pressure coming out of her tells another story.

    “ we will wait for now and check whether the information the black market provides is true or not, “ Nagato said as he looked at the raining sky from the window.

    “ I will go and confirm the intelligence by myself, “ Konan said quickly.

    Nagato hesitated for a moment before he finally agreed. “Okay but be careful, our objective is to investigate and not attack. “

    Konan nodded as she said, “ I know we can’t let that bastard escape like last time". And with her words, she disappeared into a pile of paper.

    “ Yes, Danzo Shimura you shall know pain,” Nagato said as a coldness flashed through his eyes. Just like Konan he also wanted to rush there and kill Danzo once and for all but he couldn''t do that.

    Now that he controls the Land of Rain he can’t let his decisions affect the land. What''s more, they cannot allow Danzo to escape like last time.

    Kiyomi gulped as she nodded like an obedient chicken. The reason why she was shocked is actually not because of the blood refining method as the Uchiha clan refined theirs instinctively after they unlocked the Sharingan. The part why she was so shocked is because of what is written in this book.

    This book had many details and descriptions of the blood refining process so thoroughly that one would be able to learn it easily. Reading this one would be able to improve their bloodlines no matter how much purity they held. For Izanami to write such thorough explanations she would need to do a lot of research. And for this research, she needs experimental subjects.

    From what Kiyomi could tell at least a hundred human experimental subjects were used. And this is the count she could get from reading the first few pages as there were various examples of how to explain each process that went wrong.

    ‘ It seems like second aunt’s death broke Aunt''s sanity after all. After all if that person was there Aunt Izanami would never do human experiments even if the humans were criminals themselves ‘ Kiyomi thought as she stored the booklet and other stuff away. She would review them more thoroughly later.

    “Is that all? “ Kiyomi asked as she looked at Izanami.

    “You brat you should be satisfied with the gifts I gave you. Don’t be greedy “ Izanami said as she flicked Kiyomi on the forehead.

    Kiyomi just stuck out her tongue and disappeared in a flash. She left just like that.

    “Hmph ungrateful girl, “Izanami said but her she had no anger in voice. Instead, there was a trace of sadness in them. She knew why Kiyomi ran away like that. After all, remembering that person even if it was just a thought was enough for Izanami who could read minds to remember the dark past she had.

    Just like Kiyomi said if that person was there Izanami would have never even dared to conduct human experiments. After all, she really didn’t like Izanami doing such stuff.

    “ Hinami I really miss you “ Izanami murmured as a tear drop came down her face. She previously thought she never be able to meet with her as she couldn’t find her soul even when she took over the pure land. But Kiyomi’s situation gave her some new hope. The hope of seeing her best friend and lover again.
