Chapter 284 Who is the Undercover Agent
Udon, Amatsuki Toki and her group, having escaped from danger, were currently resting in a dilapidated Temple.
The arm injury, coupled with the escape, had pushed everyone's Stamina to its limit.
At the same time, everyone felt a sense of regret in their hearts. Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!
Denjiro's Intelligence was accurate.
Although Kaido and Orochi had a large Military Strength, the Power of the Kozuki, along with the Daimyo from Various Regions and the Rogues in the Flower Capital, was enough to contend with them. The only thing that exceeded their Intelligence was that, in addition to Kaido, the enemy also had another reinforcement force no less powerful than Kaido, Charlotte Linlin.
And now, it was precisely because of this oversight that their Plan had completely failed, and even Kozuki Oden had been sacrificed.
The Kozuki Retainers, led by Kin'emon, all had grim Complexions. However, they were not without Hope. At least Momonosuke was still alive, they still had Hope!
"Why can't we go back to Kuri?!"
Kin'emon looked at Shinobu, who was bandaging Cat and Dog, and couldn't help but ask.
"Because Kaido and Orochi also know that you will definitely return to Kuri. Once you really return to Kuri, I guarantee that Orochi and Kaido will definitely go there, and it will bring a huge Disaster to Kuri! Moreover..."
Shinobu looked at Kin'emon seriously and said. After hearing Kin'emon's series of plans, Shinobu did not hesitate to reject everyone's Plan to return to Kuri.
"I suspect there is a Traitor among us who is secretly informing Orochi and Kaido."
Shinobu's Gaze swept across everyone's faces in turn.
And after hearing Shinobu's Words, Kin'emon was instantly filled with Fury.
"You, even though you saved Princess Hiyori, that doesn't mean you can Insult our Companions!"
Kin'emon's Eyes almost seemed to spew out tangible Fury. It could be said that all of them were prepared to jump into the Oil Pot without hesitation when Lord Oden suffered the Boiling Pot Execution, intending to go to the Underworld with Lord Oden.
Which Traitor could do this, even to the point of not wanting their own Life?
Therefore, Kin'emon absolutely would not allow anyone to harm these people who had entrusted their Lives to Kozuki!
"Then can you explain why Lord Oden's Surprise Attack Plan was known by Kaido? And if I hadn't arrived in time, even Princess Hiyori would have been captured by Orochi's Oniwabanshu! Tell me why! Why was the hiding place of Toki and Momonosuke known by the Oniwabanshu and others!?"
"Speak!"
Thinking of the tragically deceased Kozuki Oden, Shinobu suddenly grabbed Kin'emon's collar in anger and questioned him furiously.
And as Shinobu's questions came one after another, they were like Sharp Blades constantly piercing into Kin'emon's Inner Thoughts. Facing Shinobu's crying Look, Kin'emon pursed his lips and remained silent.
In fact, from various signs, he also suspected that there was a Spy of Orochi among them, but even though he desperately recalled all sorts of Past interactions with everyone, he could not find any Suspicious Point. In addition, Lord Oden had died, and they had all gone through Life and death together.
If they started suspecting each other as soon as they escaped from Danger, how would they continue on the road ahead!?
"Alright, say a few words less."
Ashura Doji used his large Arm to press down on Shinobu's Arm. After Shinobu lowered her Arm, he spoke to the dispirited Kin'emon.
"Kin'emon, I know you are unwilling to accept it, but Shinobu is right, there is definitely someone with a problem within us!"
Ashura Doji also looked at everyone seriously and said. However, everyone he looked at did not show the slightest evasion in their Eyes, which made him quite distressed.
If Spies were so easily exposed, they wouldn't have gone undiscovered for more than ten years.
"If there is someone among us with a problem, then what do we do next?"
Kanjuro said with a frown. Obviously, if the matter of who the Undercover Agent was not clarified, then everyone's Actions next would undoubtedly be very troublesome.
With an Undercover Agent leaking News, coupled with the imbalance of Strength between the two sides, then what awaits everyone is only failure.
After all, it could be said that their every Action was in the eyes of the opponent.
Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Kawamatsu, the three different races, quietly became onlookers, because for Kin'emon, the three of them were really not material for being Spies.
"Regardless of whether there is an Undercover Agent among us or not, I think... our Top Priority now is to quickly move to a Safe Place. After all, we are not those guys' Opponents right now."
Kikunojo looked at the crowd who were about to have Internal Affairs conflict and quickly spoke.
"Kikunojo is right. Our main priority now is to ensure the safety of Toki, young master Momonosuke, and Princess Hiyori!"
Raizo barely maintained his composure, but his voice still trembled slightly due to the pain of his severed Arm. After all, for a Ninja, losing an Arm directly removed ninety percent of his Military Force.
"Then let's follow Shinobu's suggestion and go to White Dance. Coincidentally, I have a Friend in the Countryside of White Dance. When the News dies down, we will find a way to send Kikunojo and Kawamatsu out to Sea according to the previous Plan!"
Kin'emon spoke, deciding on the Actions to take next.
When everyone arrived at White Dance, looking from afar at the Battlefield of White Dance and the Allied Forces of Orochi and the Beasts Pirates, it was like a Scene of Asura Hell presented before their eyes, which was truly terrifying.
At the same time, they began to worry whether White Dance was really a good choice.
It was inevitable that they would overthink.
After all, the People of White Dance who created this Scene before their eyes, they didn't know if they would also be regarded as Enemies.
Nekomamushi and Inuarashi's noses twitched, smelling the Bloody Smell that permeated the Air, which even strong winds could not blow away.
Shock, panic, and the Killing Intent in the Battlefield that had almost materialized.
Many Emotions intertwined, causing even the dense Fur of the two to bristle involuntarily.
"Here in White Dance, exactly... what happened?"
Kin'emon spoke with difficulty.
His Words were precisely everyone's Inner Thoughts.
It was truly hard to imagine.
The Army sent by the Beasts Pirates and Orochi were actually completely annihilated in White Dance.
Facing such a result, Kin'emon and his group, who had come to White Dance at great Risk, should have felt excited and joyful.
After all, for them, Kaido and Orochi were absolute Enemies.
But the pungent Bloody Smell permeating the Air, the Blood and Corpses all over the ground visible to the Eyes.
This Scene made them uneasy.
The Enemy's Enemy...
Even if they wouldn't become Friends or Allies, they could at least become Assistance in eliminating the Enemy.
This was originally what Kin'emon and his group thought.
But now, this Enemy's Enemy seemed to be a bit too powerful, which made them start to think, when this Enemy's Enemy eliminates the Enemy, would they also casually crush them to death?
