Konoha Thief

Chapter 474 Going to the Land of Rain

The wind and sand gradually stopped, like the night sky covered with a layer of tulle, the stars were shining, forming a beautiful picture.

With the guidance of the stars, Xia Shu found the way again, stepped on the long yellow sand, endured the cold at night, and headed towards the direction of Konoha across the country of Sichuan.

At this moment, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Seven, huh, huh, not bad." Accepting the memory of the shadow clone, and feeling the deep pit filled with seven strands of chakra, Natsuki was extremely satisfied.

Although the strength of the shadow clone is not comparable to the main body, but being able to kill seven opponents without being noticed by the enemy, and there are also the elites of Sagakure Anbe among them, is enough to prove Natsuki's strength to a certain extent.

When the remaining ninjas return to Sand Hidden, there will definitely be a new piece of information that will appear on Sand Hidden Anbu's list.As for the person's biggest crime, it wasn't the killing of many sand ninjas, but the killing of a Jinchuriki!

"I didn't use the power of the quiet card, but I used the technique of chaotic lion hair, hehe, I hope Sha Yin can find this person." Xia Shu expressed his silent condolences to Sha Yin's hunting actions for the next few years.

……

After confining the corpses, Yamagata Takeshi and the Anbe ninja who led the team sat in front of the bonfire, listening to the roar of the night, and fell silent for a long time.

"What are you going to do next?" The ninja Anbe who led the team broke the silence, looking at Takeshi Yamagata and asked indifferently.

With the death of Renzhuriki and the disappearance of the enemy's traces, the tracking operation ended in failure, and even when they returned to Hidden Sand Village, they would probably be punished for this, but as Anbu ninjas, apart from returning to Hidden Sand Village, they There is no other choice.

"I don't know." Yamagata Takashi was silent for a long time, holding his head and hanging his head, and said in a difficult voice: "It was my fault that Jinchuriki was killed, but I will definitely not be the only one punished for such a serious crime."

Having said that, he raised his head, saw tears on his face, looked at the other party with pleading eyes and said: "Please let my subordinates die in battle, and I will bear all the responsibility for the crime!"

He puts extra emphasis on "all" in his words.

"team leader!"

"Captain!~"

The ninjas of the guard troop rushed to Yamagata Takeshi's side, and when they called out, tears welled up in their eyes.

Surrounded by many sand ninjas, Yamagata Takashi knelt on the ground, begged the Anbe ninja in front of him, and waited for a response.

Under the mask of the Anbu ninja who led the team, his eyes were narrowed into a line, and he was hesitating between two thoughts in his mind, although he had already been inclined.

"Please make a decision, Captain."

At this time, the few remaining Anbu ninjas came to the side, and the tone of their urging words, as well as the look in their eyes, made him completely determined.

"Oh, that's the only way to go." He sighed and said, not knowing whether he was addressing his subordinates or himself.

A moment later, the tower collapsed and shattered with a loud bang. The ruins of the former temple were now completely in ruins. Only a few empty houses among them did not know how long they would survive in the wind and sand.

……

A few days later, Xia Shu, who was covered in wind and dust, finally saw the wooden leaf fence between the trees.

Enter through the root channel, as always, first come to the root base.

"Senior Matsuzaki?" The ninja code-named Ren called out as soon as he arrived at the root base.

"What's the matter?" Xia Shu stopped and turned to look at the other party.

Ren seemed to be in a hurry, so he used his body to come quickly, and met Natsuki's suspicious eyes and said, "Danzo-sama ordered you to go to the Land of Rain as soon as you come back, and catch up with them."

"The Land of Rain?" Xia Shu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What happened to alert Danzo-sama to go there in person?"

"I don't know, but it should be something I have been paying attention to." Ren shook his head and said.

"How many people did Danzo-sama take away on this trip?" Xia Shu knew that the other party was only managing the root base, and his understanding of many secrets was even inferior to him, so he could only change the question.

"Except for those who were outside, the rest were taken away. For your orders, senior, they are also specially kept." Ren truthfully replied.

"Come out in full force, what is it?" Xia Shu sighed, and said to Ren: "I know, I will start when I regain my strength."

"Okay." Ren nodded and stepped back.

Turning around to leave the root base, Natsuki returned home to clean it up, carefully hid the scroll that stored Shukaku Chakra, and then went to sleep.

After all, sleep is the best way to rest.

It was already night when he woke up, and the world was full of groggy scenes. Natsuki packed up his luggage and didn't waste time doing other things, so he left Konoha through the passage at the root, and headed towards the direction of the rain country in the north.

When the world was dark again, Xia Shu broke into the kingdom of rain.

The continuous rain is like a bead curtain, falling on the ground one after another, breaking apart, soaking the ground and forming a mist at the same time, making the ground feel like floating in the clouds.

Following Genbu's unique code, he joined the others on the second day after arriving in the Land of Rain, but Danzo and Younv Ryoma were not in the team at this time.

"Cooperating with Hanzo of Yuyin Village, so that's the case. Such a big event really requires Danzo-sama to come forward in person." Xia Shu pretended to be authentic after hearing what the root ninja said.

Are these guys also kept in the dark?
Obviously, no one knows Danzo's real purpose, including his subordinates.

The plot of colluding with Hanzo against Akatsuki happened in the original book during the Third Ninja World War, but now the war ends much earlier than in the original book. Now that Danzo and Hanzo are colluding, it is almost exactly the time when things happened in the original book.

In the afternoon, the rain eased a little, and Xia Shu, who had regained his strength, stood in front of the cave opened by Tudun, looking at the lush scenery in the rain in the distance, and bit a Bingliang Pill.

Although with the practice of the immortal mode, the effect of ordinary chakra on filling the deep pit is dwarfed, but mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, and Natsuki still eats two military food pills every now and then.

At this moment, several figures appeared in the rain curtain, coming straight towards this side, Xia Shu didn't use the mind network perception, just squinted a little, and confirmed that it was Danzo and others.

"Master Danzang." After Danzang and others entered the cave, Xia Shu stepped forward to pay respects.

"You're here, Matsuzaki." Danzo still had an unsmiling and cold expression, but there was a lightness in his tone, obviously he was very satisfied with the result of the matter.

"I met Ren when I returned to the base, and I came here after taking a break." Xia Shu said briefly, and then asked: "Master Danzo, is the alliance going well?"
