Chapter 816: Chapter 741: Pioneer Chapter 816: Chapter 741: Pioneer “Mr.

Minato.”

Mizukin and two other ninjas from Takigakure Village, dressed in suits, came to Tao Yu’s side, and Tao Yu was also dressed in casual attire, boarding a business car they had driven.

“Don’t be so formal; we will surely have opportunities for cooperation in the future.”

Tao Yu had actually gleaned from Airi Suzuki’s attitude that most ninjas from Takigakure probably did not want to return to the Ninja World.

The previous proposal to send them back to the Ninja World was likely ineffective in obtaining the Seven-Tails, so Tao Yu decided to propose an alternative.

“I know you all have your own thoughts, and you’re gradually getting used to this world.”

Once Tao Yu had boarded the car, he casually leaned back in his seat and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Mizukin nodded frankly and said,

“We quite like this world, even though it seems to be going through its worst times, it is still better than our best times.”

Mizukin’s expression also conveyed a sense of melancholy.

“But you’ve also seen the Angel Envoys, and you should know that it’s me piloting the EVA to confront them.”

The words from Tao Yu made Mizukin pause, then he nodded solemnly,

“We need to thank you for saving the world, there is no doubt about that.”

During the encounter with the Daytime Angel, both Unit-01 and Unit-00 were deployed, and the stark contrast in power between the two made the ninjas realize that relying on other EVA pilots—the simpletons—was unreliable.

…

Having fought fiercely without breaking through the defenses, and even getting tossed down and having the weapons damaged.

They were simply not on the same level.

No matter what, Minato Namikaze was the one saving the world!

In many people’s eyes, he was the Savior!

“I came to this world not only to collect some information but actually to retrieve the Seven-Tails.”

Tao Yu extended his hand, and an arrow appeared on his palm.

“There’s no need to deny it; the direction this arrow points is the direction of the Seven-Tails.”

Mizukin was initially startled, but after clearly seeing the arrow’s direction and making his own estimation, he was astonished to find that it indeed pointed toward the village!

“The Ninja World is also facing trouble, and the Tailed Beasts are one of the keys to solving this problem; that’s why I came here.

We have mutual needs, so what do you think?”

Tao Yu was prepared to start with reasoning.

Mizukin was the current leader of Takigakure Village, the CEO of their security group.

He had significant influence over the disposition of the Seven-Tails.

“That… Although the child has been in a coma.”

“I naturally have a safe way to extract the Tailed Beast without harming the Jinchuriki; maybe the Jinchuriki will even wake up because of it.”

The latter part of what Tao Yu said made Mizukin pause, then he nodded without hesitation,

“Of course, there’s no problem.

If it wasn’t for Mr.

Minato’s arrival, we’d have almost forgotten that we were ninjas, barely able to use Ninjutsu, chakras that can’t be mobilized, even the Tailed Beasts are just a burden to us…”

Speaking to this point, Mizukin seemed somewhat bitter, yet he also said,

“However, this doesn’t seem to be bad at all…”

Even though they seem to have become much weaker, their current lifestyle is still much more comfortable than before.

In the past, the Tailed Beasts were touted as the cornerstone for maintaining peace with one another, but in truth, they were more like war machines for slaughter…

“Very well, because you know that I need to protect the world and cannot afford to leave the base, I hope you can take the time to bring the Jinchuriki to me directly.”

To save time, Tao Yu was also prepared to cut some corners.

He was afraid that while he was heading to Takigakure Village, an Angel Envoy might sneak an attack, which would truly be a joy turning into sorrow.

On the other hand, once he got hold of Adam’s Egg, no matter what this thing actually was, as long as both Adam and Lilith were dealt with, there would be no need to hang around the original place.

In fact, he could already attempt to contact Lilith in the Final Dogma Zone, but since Adam’s Egg was still en route and hadn’t been secured, it was better to keep a low profile for now.

Lilith wouldn’t run away, but there might still be unforeseen events concerning Adam’s Egg…

After approximately a two-hour drive, the minivan also arrived at New Tokyo and headed towards the predetermined warehouse location.

“The cargo trucks are still on the road; are we waiting here for them to arrive?”

The wreckage of the Daytime Angel was so extensive that transportation would take time, and they certainly wouldn’t be traveling as fast as him; they hadn’t arrived yet.

“Wait here for a bit, I’ll go over and make contact directly.”

Tao Yu’s statement reminded Misato of the last time he killed all those Outsiders and forced her to have no other choice.

It’s not happening again this time, is it?

“Mr.

Men, even though you are very powerful, bullets don’t have eyes.

Let us accompany you.”

In Misato’s eyes, Tao Yu was a key person in saving the world, and she had also been tasked with protecting him, but she didn’t want him to take the risk alone.

In this World, even a Shadow Level expert would probably not be able to exert much strength.

They still fall within the range that can be hunted by bullets!

Misato fully trusted her judgment through a rough comparison with other ninjas.

“Follow me?

That’s not impossible.”

Tao Yu glanced at the three men and didn’t mind it at all.

Now, he didn’t think that among the cannon fodder Pioneers, there would be any who could make him lose control of the situation.

After getting out of the car, Tao Yu walked towards the warehouse ahead, guarded by the three men in suits like guardians.

“Mr.

Men, they should have already been informed of your arrival, and they might even have notified others through communication technology, you know?

It allows message transmission across great distances, regardless of range…”

The Ninja World had its own technological developments, albeit quite peculiar, and at least when Takigakure Village fell into the Abyss, they hadn’t even popularized walkie-talkies, let alone telephones.

So Misato tried to educate Tao Yu, who had not been in this world for long.

After all, even the communication with Shinji Ikari was done by sending letters, and the cellphone was provided by Misato, in her eyes, it was very likely that Tao Yu hadn’t come into contact with or understood such high technology.

However, to Tao Yu, this action seemed somewhat amusing, yet he didn’t contradict her and just nodded to indicate he knew.

Reaching the warehouse door of the appointment, there was an elderly gatekeeper.

Tao Yu simply looked him up and down twice and went over to state his purpose.

“Is this the place to receive cargo with the serial number C472?”

Originally, the old man appeared cheerfully welcoming as several people approached, but after hearing Tao Yu’s words, he immediately became serious.

“Yes, are you the ones delivering the cargo?

This young?”

Clearly, he was a disguised Pioneer, constantly sizing up the minivan behind them, but something felt off…

At this moment, however, an urgent voice came through his earpiece.

“According to SEELE’s photo, the person in front of you is Minato Namikaze!

The three beside him are from Takigakure Village and are likely from the Ninja World, be careful!”

Even though it came through an earpiece, the faint sound could still be easily heard by Tao Yu, as well as by the people from Takigakure Village nearby.

“Oh?

Plotting loudly in front of us?

You seem to know quite a lot.”

Tao Yu put on an attitude of ‘we’re just here to escort the item; we had no prior knowledge.’, and looked towards the elderly man…
