Konoha Thief

Chapter 493 Marching Monk

Root's work efficiency is even better than Anbe's, so there are not many backlogs of tasks in the studio.

However, Xia Shu's luck seemed to be good, and soon he found a survey mission that required going to the border of the Kingdom of Wind.

"Senior, don't you need other people's assistance?" Genbu Ninja asked casually when he saw him pick up the task list.

"Investigation tasks, naturally, the fewer people involved, the better." Xia Shu waved.

Taking the task sheet and leaving the root base directly, he returned home and cleaned up briefly, took his weapon and left Muye Village through the root's secret passage.

He used the transformation technique to hide his identity, and arrived in the Kingdom of Wind a few days later, then went west along the border, and finally arrived in the Kingdom of Stone.

The Kingdom of Stone is bordered by the Country of Birds, and it is also a small country between the wind and the earth. Due to its remote location, it belongs to the desolate area of ​​the ninja world.The country of stone is closed and backward, coupled with various reasons such as harsh environment and lack of vegetation, people's life is extremely difficult, and this is the reason why Four Tails Jinchuriki will come here.

According to the information obtained by the spies from Iwagakure, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki has a stubborn character, and because of this, he has a bad relationship with the Third Tsuchikage.Not long ago, the two parties had a fierce quarrel over something, and it turned out that Onogi's stubbornness was even better, and the four-tailed Jinchuriki Laozi left the smoking village without saying goodbye.

According to the rules of Ninja Village, if a ninja leaves the village privately, it can be counted as a defection.

But just like the situation of Jiraiya and Tsunade in the original book, Lao Zi, who is a four-tailed jinchuriki, left Yanyin Village. Although Ohnoki was furious, he was not included in the ranks of rebellion in the end.

Of course, forcing one's family members to leave the village is not a pleasant thing in itself.

Although Ohnoki has a habit of breaking promises in his work, he took advantage of the situation many times during the ninja world war and did everything he could to gain benefits.It's just that he is thick-skinned enough, even in the face of accusations, he can still hold his arms and fly into the air to make a condescending gesture, but the strength of the Four-Tails Renzhu is related to the face of Yanyin Village.

Ohnoki's code of conduct has always been "I can be ashamed, but Yanyin Village's face cannot be lost", of course he will not make Yanyin Village a joke in the ninja world because of himself.

"With Ohnoki's personality, although Lao Zi was not listed as a traitor, he would not send a ninja to protect him. This would save a lot of trouble." Xia Shu was wearing a windbreaker, running on the desolate wilderness, guessing about the four tails. The situation of Renzhuli, "Lao Zi should have gradually mastered the power of Four-Tails after leaving Yanyin Village, so the worst result is that he will have to face Four-Tails. In addition, the two attributes of fire and earth are fused together. The power of the melting and escaping technique is extraordinary, so it must be dealt with carefully."

Of course, this is just speculation, and further investigation is needed to determine the specific situation.

Along the way, when the sunset was approaching, I suddenly saw billowing black smoke rising in the distance, and it seemed that something was burning violently.

Xia Shu sighed slightly, already had a guess in his heart.

The country of stone is desolate and barren. In recent years, affected by the ninja war, the financial system has almost collapsed, and there is no money to support the army, which in turn leads to the breeding of bandits in the territory. Now it is almost becoming a major problem that cannot be suppressed.

He quickly ran forward, standing on a dead crooked-neck tree branch, he could vaguely see a group of bandits raging in the village, shouting and killing, begging for mercy and praying, but in the end the village was still destroyed. All the torches, raging flames are even more dazzling than the fiery clouds in the sky.

The strong wind blew, shaking his clothes, and a burst of dust flew up, leaving only the branches swaying with the wind.

There are many tragedies in this world, and it is unrealistic to try to eliminate them by ourselves.Xia Shu has never been an idealist, and he has no lofty sentiments to work hard for others. He still has his own things to do.

Bone Hill, as the name suggests, looks like a dragon's spine from a distance, with continuous ups and downs, forming a natural defense, and several villages are built at the foot of the bone hill.

Like other places in the Kingdom of Stone, the Bone Hill is a desolate scene. The so-called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain is true, but the end result of over-exploiting the wealth of the mountain is obvious.

Xia Shu walked along the Bone Hill Mountain Range, and when he arrived at the first village, he ran into a little trouble.

"Outsiders, hand over everything on your body!" The vicious words were spoken in a weak and shrunken tone, and the deterrent power had dropped by half. ...Well, the dung fork is still somewhat intimidating, but even so, Xia Shu couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"If you can take it away." Xia Shu stretched out his hands on both sides, exposing the eight rooms at his waist.

When the vicious villagers saw the weapon, their whole body stiffened, and then they trembled violently.

Xia Shu put down his hands, walked past the opponent, and continued to walk forward.

There are not many people in the village. Judging by the dilapidated condition of the houses, it seems that it has been like this for a long time. Xia Shu managed to find a villager from a thatched hut. Although his teeth were red, he still got some useful words from him. information.

"A red-haired parade monk who promotes Buddhism?" Xia Shu rubbed his chin and whispered, then pulled out Kunai and shot at him, looking at the crooked man lying in a pool of blood with an inexplicably peaceful expression, he said lightly: "Thank you The news, you should be very satisfied with this return."

Just as Xia Shu left the village, on the other side of the Bone Hill Mountain Range, fiery scorching lava surged out like a river, drowning all the bandits who attacked the village.

"You, are you a ninja?" The sallow-faced village chief was stunned by the shock in front of him. After a while, he woke up like a dream, and looked at the short missionary in front of him in some panic.

"I used to be, and now I am just a traveling monk on the road of cultivation." Lao Zi turned around and said calmly.

The village chief was still at a loss and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Village chief, I don't know what I'm talking about about spreading Buddhism..." Lao Zi said.

"Please wait a moment!" The village chief hurriedly said without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, "I will call the villagers over immediately."

As he said that, he hastily turned around and ran out. Although he didn't know what the other party said about Buddhism, he was shocked by the scene just now, and no matter what the conditions were, he didn't dare to refute at the moment. ,

Of course, at the same time, he is not without other ideas.

The villagers were quickly summoned, and Lao Zi sat cross-legged on the ground, behind him was the gradually cooling magma exuding a sulfurous smell.

In the eyes of the villagers, Lao Zi is far more shocking than any Buddhist teachings.
