Leaf Ninja Life

Chapter 128 Investigation
The main terrain of Kawa no Kuni is hills, the number of plains is relatively rare, and the terrain is quite complicated.

Xiuyi dressed up as a simple-looking boy and followed behind Orochimaru. The two were dressed plainly and carried a lot of dust. They looked like wandering ninjas running around.

They entered from the northeast of Kawano Country and chose to go to the nearest city, Maruoka Castle according to the information.

After passing through several small mountain ranges, a slightly dilapidated ancient city appeared in front of Xiuyi.

The city wall is very low, and at the same time, mottled traces are reflected everywhere on the city wall, as if it has not been repaired for a long time.

But what is surprising is that there are quite a few people coming in and out of the city gate, and many of them are also dressed as wandering ninjas and samurai, and they all make a living by selling their strength.

"Teacher, shall we inquire about the news separately after we go in?"

After discussing with Orochimaru, the two decided to investigate Maruoka Castle from both sides after entering the city to see if there were any special discoveries.

After passing through the gate of the city, they stopped when they planned to separate.Xiuyi looked at the ostentatious advertising banner on the main street with a strange expression: "Ninja Tavern is open, welcome heroes from all walks of life, address..."

"This... ninja tavern? Is this deliberately revealing some information to outsiders?" Ninjas always try to hide their information as much as possible.

Fortunately, this tavern seems to be designed to gather strange ninjas from all walks of life, and it also implies that ordinary people should not enter.

Because of this weird advertisement, Xiuyi and Orochimaru did not act separately, and the two went straight to the location of the tavern.

After walking around the street for a long time, I asked the local residents, and they arrived in front of the tavern in a few minutes.

Although it was marked as a ninja tavern, the atmosphere inside was in full swing, and everyone seemed to be discussing something.

Xiuyi walked in and took a quick look around. Various people dressed in strange clothes were talking while drinking wine. He and Dashemaru could only find a place to sit down first, and then slowly inquired about the news.

At this time, a waiter saw the new guest and came over immediately, "My lords, what do you need?"

"It's like this. I'm curious about your place being called Ninja Tavern, because my elder brother and I just came to the country of Chuanzhi from a far away place, and we are eager to get to know the local area." Xiu said calmly, holding a Offer a few big bills, "By the way, fill up your best food and wine."

Seeing this, the waiter immediately smiled like a flower. It seemed that this was a generous customer. For this reason, he notified another waiter to prepare the food and drink, and stayed at Xiuyi's table by himself.

Regarding Xiuyi's question, he replied in a mysterious whisper: "It seems that you two really came from afar. There are indeed some things happening in this area. At present, Maruoka Castle can be said to be the territory of the Kingdom of Kawa and It can be said that it is the territory of the Kingdom of Lin, because a major event happened not long ago."

"Lin Zhiguo?" Xiuyi's head was running fast. This seems to be a small country with a super short appearance time in Hokage manga. It seems to be bordered by Konoha. Could it be split from the country of Sichuan?

After the waiter's detailed answers, they realized that huge changes had taken place in Kawano Country.

First of all, not long ago, several forces in the northern part of the country of Kawasaki declared independence. Nearly half of the country of Kawasaki turned into multiple countries overnight. Many people in this area bordering Konoha are now called the country of forests. .

Originally, this kind of thing happened, and the strongest ninja village in the Kawano country must violently clean up these rebel forces.

This large number of ninjas came to the current forest country, and merged with a local mysterious organization called Prajna to form a ninja village. In this area, they began to learn the system of one country, one village in the ninja world.

The waiter became more careful when he said this, "According to the gossip, the Prajna Congregation was established by the people of Gu Ninja Village themselves, and they seem to have been preparing for it for many years."

"They claim to have a lot of resources and ninjutsu, and now they have been recruiting wandering ninjas and rebellious ninjas from all over the world. The ninja tavern in our Maruoka Castle is to introduce the power of ninjas from all over the place to the Prajna. At present, their scale has been expanding."

"The base of the New Ninja Village is in the center of the nearby Azusa River Valley. Whether you want to join the Prajna Sect is up to the two of you."

The waiter left quietly after explaining all the information about the newly established Lin Zhiguo, and Orochimaru and Xiuyi slowly tasted the food and wine calmly.

"Teacher, the mission information says that there is a stronghold belonging to Konoha in the Azusa River Valley. Do you think the information revealed by this waiter is reliable?" Shuichi communicated with Orochimaru using a special sound transmission method.

"This kind of news on the surface should be fine, but it's hard to say about that stronghold."

"Huh? Do you suspect that the stronghold has been exposed?" Xiuyi is a little strange. Even though he has a clear mind and a flexible mind, he still lacks ninja experience after all. I want to see what Orochimaru thinks about it. It was connected through a special code, and Anbu in the village should not be able to make such a low-level mistake."

"It's normal for you to think like this without the experience of Anbu." Orochimaru said, "But no ninja dares to say that this kind of secret espionage confrontation is safe, such as a mission I once had..."

"That's it!" Xiuyi felt that he had been taught another lesson. The ninja couldn't judge it with common sense, and he still had a lot to learn. "The Anbu team is a special combination of Jōnin and two Chunin. If you want to assassinate them quietly, it should be quite difficult. The opponent should have more than two teams."

Orochimaru licked his tongue, "It's not too much difference, so what is Xiuichi-kun going to do now?"

"If it's safe, we shouldn't go to that stronghold, just treat it as the worst case, which has been exposed to the eyes of the enemy." Xiuyi analyzed seriously, "But sometimes conspiracies and tricks are useless in the face of absolute strength. , now that you are here, teacher, I also have confidence in myself, and this is our opportunity."

"We should be the first team to come to the country of Sichuan. It's hard to guarantee that the team behind the village will go to test the stronghold after hearing this information. That would be equivalent to giving up their lives for nothing, so..."

The meaning of Xiuyi's words is obvious, just do it.

They ran right under the nose of the enemy to be the fish that was hooked. With Orochimaru, the "shark", if they were caught, they might even eat you with the boat.

Orochimaru didn't object either, this kind of combat strategy was indeed reckless, yet direct and effective.His strength has already taken shape, whether he can wipe out the enemy this time depends on Xiuyi's performance.

In the afternoon of that day, the two walked through the mountains of the Kawano Country for several hours, walked along a clear river, and found the Xinnin Village established by the Prajna Sect in a semi-hidden valley.

This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, along the river. The buildings are mainly a large number of thatched houses and small wooden buildings, and most of them are brand new. They don't look so modern but they are very quiet.

"Stop! You look like wandering ninjas who have come to join our village." When approaching the entrance of the village gate, a man dressed as a ninja stopped Orochimaru and Shuichi.

"I'm sorry, but it still takes a certain test to join our village." The ninja looked full of pride, and felt a sense of satisfaction that his dream had come true, "If you don't agree, you can leave immediately, otherwise we will treat you as for the enemy."
