The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 67 Lurking
"Your ability is the best for hiding. It is the best choice for you to investigate the information. As long as you don't meet a perceptual ninja, you should not be discovered by the other party. That's why I will send you there alone. If you add others, yes You are a burden instead."

Orochimaru said to Rikimaru with a smile, as if he didn't see the reluctance on Rikimaru's face at all.

"Why, do you have other ideas?"

"Uh."

Riki shook his head immediately, he didn't want to execute it, but the key point was that the person he was facing was Orochimaru, this guy was different from Jiraiya, if he angered Orochimaru, his fate would definitely not be much better.

"Yes, Oshemaru-sama, I will strictly carry out this task."

Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, actually I asked you from the old man this time. There are also some ninjas in Muye Village who can perform this kind of task, such as Tou Dun from the Moonlight Clan, but in my opinion, You are better than them."

"You really like me."

Now Rikimaru can only complain secretly, he really didn't expect Orochimaru to be so optimistic about himself, and think that he is better than Konoha's Moonlight Clan.

"So where do I start looking?"

He just came here today, and he didn't even know the situation here, so how could he know the situation of Yunyin.

Orochimaru waved his hand: "Don't worry, before that, I will explain to you the situation here and the progress of the task in detail. What you have to do now is to be mentally prepared."

For the next two days, Rikimaru followed Orochimaru all the time, and learned about the border situation during this period of time from Oroshemaru.

As the most important military force in the Land of Fire, Konoha Village usually has ninja troops stationed at the borders of various countries, especially Konoha is located in the center of the mainland and is surrounded by enemies, so the stationed ninja troops must at least be led by Jonin.

But just over half a year ago, a three-person ninja team at the border disappeared mysteriously, and the Konoha Kaminobu who went to investigate followed suit.

Finally, a ninja found the missing place. According to the traces of the battle there, he knew that the missing team and the jonin had a high possibility of being assassinated by the enemy, so he notified the village as quickly as possible.

For any ninja village, the upper ninja is a high-end combat power, and the same is true for Konoha Village. Among the ninja groups with a large base, the upper ninja is at least one in a hundred, which is very precious.

With such an inexplicable loss of such an important combat force, the village naturally would not let it go, and immediately dispatched an elite ninja team to investigate. The final result of the investigation was that the ninja who attacked the village turned out to be the cloud hidden ninja, one of the five great ninja villages.

And according to the investigation, there are still many Yunyin ninjas who have sneaked into the border.

A large army of enemy ninjas sneaked into the border. This is a big event, and the third Hokage was immediately alert.

Because it has been nearly ten years since the end of the Second Ninja World War at this time, as a veteran ninja and village leader with extremely rich war experience, the third generation of Naruto understands the thoughts of other village leaders very well. Yunyin Village must have other purposes for doing this. .

No matter what the purpose of Yunyin Village is, precautions are necessary. He not only sent a large number of ninja squads, but also sent Orochimaru, one of Konoha Sannin, to the border.

Orochimaru has been here for nearly half a year. During this period, he fought against the ninjas of Yunyin Village several times, but more often, Yunin did not fight them head-on, and more often played sneak attacks and assassinations.

Even if there is a strong man like Orochimaru, there are also strong men from Yunyin, so the two sides have fought several times, and each has suffered injuries. In general, Konoha has a good location and has gained some advantages.

But Orochimaru is different from normal people. If it were Jiraiya, he would definitely not be able to control so much. If Yunin came to kill one by one, unless the other party was really too much, he would not be too aggressive.

But Orochimaru is different. He is more proud than anyone else in his bones, so it is absolutely impossible to just passively defend like this. He also wanted to counterattack several times before, but Yunin was obviously well prepared, and several counterattacks were in vain.

In this case, Orochimaru was naturally even more upset, so he asked for help from the third Hokage, and specially asked for a few ninjas with special abilities, in order to be able to fight back against Yunnin.

After learning about the situation, Rikimaru was dispatched by Orochimaru, secretly left the town, crossed the border, and headed for the territory of Tango Country.

Although Orochimaru has confirmed that the large army of Yunin is hidden in the country of Tang, he does not know where it is, and he does not even know how many people there are in Yunin and who is the leader. to investigate.

From Rikimaru's point of view, this is really a huge pit. Well, I'm just an 11-year-old Chunin, but I was given such a difficult task. For the first time, he felt that awakening his stealth skills was not a good thing.

Fortunately, Orochimaru also gave Riki a benefit. During the two days in the town, Orochimaru specially prepared a psychic scroll for Riki, so that Riki could communicate with the snakes in Ryuchi Cave. If he found any important information, he would use the psychic scroll The beast conveys.

This is a surprise, Ryuji Cave is one of the three wonderlands in the Hokage World, as famous as Mt.

Being able to obtain the psychic beasts of the three major inheritance places is definitely something he had never thought about before. You must know that even if he is a disciple of Jiraiya, Jiraiya did not add him to Mt. Miaomu On the psychic scroll.

But it's a pity that he can only summon some ordinary psychic snakes now, but they are enough for communication.

Although the country of Tang is far behind the five major countries, the territory is not small. After entering the country of Tang, Riki put away his ninja uniform, protective gear and forehead, and at the same time activated his stealth skills. The fringes began to search.

Of course, he didn't search like a headless chicken. Orochimaru gave several suspicious places, so he needed to start searching from those places first, and if there were no clues, he would go to other places to search.

Before coming, Hyuga Hinata and the others found a few cloud ninjas who had sneaked in. The most powerful one was a middle ninja, but these cloud ninjas were all hard bones. No leads were found.

Although the Yamanaka Clan can get some memories from the minds of the dead, it requires a very high level. The Yamanaka Clan ninja who came with them is just a Chunin and does not have such strength.
