On the application of plant zombies in the world of Naruto

The three-member team was walking in the capital of the Kingdom of Wind. Based on the hand-drawn map of the capital provided by the innkeeper, they wanted to go to the market to see what specialties the Kingdom of Wind had that they could bring back to the Kingdom of Fire as souvenirs.

What they didn't expect was that there were many places in the city where flowers were blooming.

Duofu poked at the red desert roses on the roadside and said, "It's worthy of being a capital city. Flowers can be grown in the desert."

"The capital was built around a large oasis, so it's not surprising that the groundwater is more abundant than in other places."

"Let's buy some seeds and take them back."

Kyojuro calculated the time. Now it was spring, so he would go back and plant the flowers so that they would bloom just in time for Izuna's uncle's wedding.

Duofu led the way with a map in hand. "We are almost there. Wait, we need to take a detour here."

You leaned over to take a look and said, "Can't we just go straight? Why do we have to take a detour?"

"This area is where the noble officials live, and the boss specifically instructed us to avoid it."

It's not like they haven't seen great nobles in the Fire Nation before.

"Why are the nobles of the Wind Country so bad-tempered that they don't even allow others to walk on the road outside the gate?"

Uchiha You tutted in dissatisfaction, and Kyojuro analyzed, "They must live closer to the water source. My uncle also said yesterday that they are worried about the water source being poisoned every day."

"The boss is just kindly reminding me. Let's take a detour. It's not far."

Just as they were about to turn around and leave, Duofu suddenly grabbed You and Kyojuro and quietly hid in the corner of the building.

"what happened?"

Duofu pointed to the noble district and said, "See? She sold herself to bury her father."

You stuck his head out and said, "Hey, you know what, you're pretty good-looking, and you have good eyesight."

Kyojuro felt something was wrong. "That woman wanted to sell herself to bury her father. Why didn't she go to a more relaxed neighborhood? Maybe if she shouted a few times, some kind-hearted person would donate a few coins to her directly."

Duofu looked lewd, "To make more money, maybe some nobleman would take a fancy to her and marry her directly into the mansion as a concubine. A woman should be dressed in mourning clothes~"

"Seriously, stop kidding."

Yu understood what Kyojuro meant, "Are you saying that this woman is waiting here on purpose, and her purpose is not to sell herself to bury her father, but to wait for a certain mission target?"

"This disguise is too obvious. She is the only one wearing white in the yellow sand. It is easy to see her, unless everyone is blind, unless..."

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison, "She's the bait."

Duofu just felt a headache, "Let's go quickly, we are unfamiliar with the place, it's best not to get involved in these things."

Kyojuro was a little hesitant, but Yu pulled him firmly and immediately left the neighborhood.

"Kyojuro, don't get involved in other people's affairs. We know nothing about the identities of both parties involved and the cause and process of the incident. If you act rashly, you will only end up in the mouth of death."

Kyojuro knew this truth. He was not a child. In his previous life, when exorcising ghosts, he had seen too many people, even close relatives, turning against each other and plotting against each other. He was not so naive as to think that as long as the Demon King was eliminated, there would be no more disasters in the world.

All he can do is serve as a wall or a knife between humans and ghosts, giving humans the opportunity to make their own choices.

This life... maybe I'm really spoiled. Kyojuro took a step forward and took the initiative to hug his friends.

"Sorry, I was distracted. Thank you for your reminder."

Kyojuro's quick apology and hug made You feel a little embarrassed.

Duofu returned the hug openly and patted Kyojuro's back and Yu's shoulder.

"You're welcome. We are good friends."

……

The three-person team ate from one end of the market to the other. The famous dates and sea buckthorn were delicious. It might be due to the climate here, the fruits were very sweet, and of course the prices were also considerable.

There are two kinds of shawarma: lamb and chicken. They ordered one of each and watched the shop owner use a long knife to cut the meat from the surface of the huge meat roll and then roll it into the pancake.

After the meat is marinated with special spices, it has a fragrant aroma and is a completely different type of taste from the stew of the Fire Nation.

After Kyojuro bought a large bag of desert rose seeds, it was already evening when they arrived at the hotel. The three of them returned to the hotel and as soon as they walked up to the second floor, You immediately made a warning gesture.

Kyojuro held the hilt of the knife behind him, while Duofu stood on the other side, slightly crouching, ready to take action at any time.

The people in the room seemed to realize that the owner of the room was at the door and stopped.

The two sides were in a stalemate across the door, each waiting for the other to make the first move.

"Guest? What's going on?"

The sound of the shop owner downstairs broke the silence upstairs, and the figure in the house quickly approached the window.

He's going to run!

Yuu flung the door open, and the full appearance of the intruder appeared before the three of them.

It's actually a puppet.

The puppet turned 180 degrees to look at them. The strange pattern on its face and the inhuman posture were very weird.

Duofu was the first to rush in, swinging his knife to chop. The puppeteer didn't seem to expect the boy to be so reckless, and immediately manipulated the puppet to open its mouth, revealing the mechanism inside that was flashing with cold light.

shhhhh--

Duofu rolled on the ground to avoid this wave of attacks. Taking the opportunity, Kyojuro reached the puppet and cut off the chakra threads that were connected to the puppet's joints and extended upwards.

The additional ability of the explosive sword caused tiny explosions to spread along the chakra threads. The ten fingers of the puppeteer behind him were all numb and trembling due to the sudden explosion. He could only retreat unwillingly.

Kyojuro opened his Sharingan and confirmed through the wall that the attacker had escaped and there were no other ninjas hiding nearby before he sheathed his sword.

"what's the situation?"

You was counting the things in the house, "All the packages were opened, and the sealed scrolls were unfolded, but he was unable to unseal them. He must have come to steal things."

Duofu bypassed the three poisonous needles shot by the puppet on the ground. The purple-black color was very poisonous.

"What should we do with this thing? Just leave it here?"

"We can only leave it there, I'm afraid it's poisonous."

Kyojuro carefully observed the puppet's internal structure.

There are quite a few hollow cavities containing weapons, all of which appear to be poisoned. There are also matching mechanisms near the cavities, and it is impossible to confirm where any of these things are safe.

Fearing that there might be hidden poison on the puppet that would trigger a fire hazard, the three of them had no choice but to go into the inner room first.

Fortunately, they had requested a suite.

By the evening, the work at the Thousand-Handed Buddha's Room was almost done. It took longer than he had imagined, but fortunately the benefits were considerable.

Because the Daimyo of the Wind Country not only ate the food himself, but also gave a few pieces to the noble ministers whom he respected, the Senju Buddha was blocked by people to discuss business and got several orders. Now he has sent his summoning beast back to the Senju clan to notify the clan members to prepare.

As soon as he entered the door, he found the puppet lying in the living room and three poisonous needles nailed to the ground.

The enemy has come! Where are the children!

"Anjuro! How rich! Yu!"

After confirming that it was the Thousand-Armed Buddha Room, the three of them came out from the inner room.

"Uncle, we are fine."

"Master Fojian, this thing was left behind by the attackers."

After confirming that the three children were all safe and sound, Senju Fujian finally felt relieved.

"Well done. It was correct not to chase or move."

He took out a long blank scroll and wrapped the puppet up, then sealed it in another scroll and prepared to take it back to the Fire Nation for research along with the poison needle on the ground.

"What is the enemy's goal?"

"He was rummaging through things when we came in."

Duofu was puzzled, "We didn't bring anything this time, and Han Gua was given to their city guards early in the morning."

Senju Fojian cut off a large piece of the floor contaminated by the poison needles and asked You to dispose of it harmlessly.

"It's probably what they thought we would bring."

In fact, he already had a guess in his mind that he probably wanted the seeds of the winter melon.

It was such a coincidence that the Daimyo of Wind Country had just rewarded the nobles with cold melons at noon, and in the afternoon thieves came to their place of residence.

It seems that these ninjas were hired by a noble who ate the winter melon at a banquet, and wanted to avoid the daimyo of the Wind Country and get the winter melon directly from the source.

It would be best if you can find the seeds. If not, just bring back a few winter melons and pick out the seeds inside.

Thousand-Handed Buddha clapped his hands. It seemed that they couldn’t just sell ordinary winter melons over.

Things that bring huge profits must be in the hands of one's own people.

"Uncle, if they don't find what they want, will they come again?"

"Maybe," said Senju Fujian, "pack up your things and return as soon as possible."
