Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

The Palace of the Lord of Birds

In the small courtyard in the back garden, Wuxin was sitting on a mat at the bottom of the courtyard. The table in front of him was filled with fruits. Wuxin held an apple in his hand and ate it while listening to the complaints of the Daimyo of the Bird Country who was sitting in the main seat.

The daimyo was talking about some things about the two countries of wind and earth, something like the Iwagakure in the Land of Earth was too bullying, the Sand Village in the Land of Wind was unreasonably arrogant, and the ninjas from the two countries often fought in the capital, destroying buildings and so on.

From time to time, there was unrest in the Rain Country to the east, with rioters and wandering ninjas pouring into the country, causing destruction and so on.

I have no time to rest and would occasionally reply with words of comfort like "you've worked hard" or "you're tired".

After the Daimyo of the Land of Birds finished his complaints about the two countries of Fudo, he sighed and said in a deep voice:

“Five years ago, the Bird Kingdom provoked a bird of prey from nowhere.

The bird of prey was huge, with a wingspan of dozens of meters. It often preyed on domestic livestock and cattle, and often dropped bombs.

This has led to the people in the country being in dire straits and panic, unable to farm in peace.

Previously, the ninjas of the Sand Village in the Wind Country were stationed in our country. I asked the ninjas of the Sand Village to take action. After investigation, the ninjas of the Sand Village confirmed that the giant bird lived in Mount Gel.

But the giant bird was ferocious and several Sunagakure ninjas were driven away. Later they no longer cared about the giant bird.

Two years ago, the ninjas of the Sand Village were expelled by the ninjas of the Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth. I asked the Iwagakure ninjas to drive away the giant bird.

As a result, the Iwagakure ninjas were unable to resolve the situation and several of them were killed, causing us to pay a large amount of compensation.

Eh! "

At the end of his speech, the Daimyo of the Land of Birds sighed deeply, looked at Wuxin with an expression that seemed to be unable to speak.

Wu Xin's face was calm and he was not moved at all. He put the apple residue on the plate on the table and asked:

"Gershan, is it the Gershan Mountain in the west that separates the Stone Kingdom?"

Wuxin suffered from unfamiliar geography during this mission, so he made up for his lack of knowledge of Ninja World geography. Especially regarding the geography of the mission destination, Bird Country, Wuxin paid much attention to it.

"Yes! It is the Gel Mountain that separates the Stone Kingdom! Our Bird Kingdom and the Stone Kingdom are separated by Gel Mountain." The daimyo of the Bird Kingdom answered softly.

Wuxin wiped his hands and reviewed the description of the giant bird by the Daimyo of the Bird Country in his mind. He asked with an idea:

"A giant bird of prey? It can drop bombs? It's amazing.

Your Majesty, could you please describe the characteristics of the giant bird? Or do you have a photo or a portrait of the giant bird?"

Hearing that Wuxin was interested in this matter, Daimyo quickly replied:

"Yes, yes, go get some photos of giant birds!"

After the daimyo finished speaking, he gestured to the guards standing by, and then continued to Wuxin:

“That giant bird had grey-green fur, a claw under its belly, and was bigger than ten cows put together!

And they can throw bombs that look like bird eggs, according to what the Iwagakure ninjas said before, but I haven't seen any bombs specifically."

After listening to the daimyo's description, Wuxin frowned. The bird with one claw was not quite what he had imagined, but its ability was similar to Pain's Yatagarasu.

Wuxin thought for a while and nodded, saying softly:

“It’s probably not easy to drive away a giant flying bird, so we can only kill it, and it’s not easy to kill.

Most importantly, Your Highness, this is beyond the scope of the mission you entrusted to our village."

Wuxin's mission is to disguise himself as a samurai and guard the daimyo. This task of catching a bird is obviously beyond the scope of the mission. Although Wuxin is somewhat interested in this giant bird, this does not prevent him from knocking on the bamboo pole.

"No problem, no problem. Just treat it as another entrustment from the Bird Country. Five hundred thousand taels, do you think it's enough?"

The Land of Birds is small, and although the daimyo is wealthy, he is not rich to the point of being filthy rich. After quoting the price, he looked at Wuxin quietly.

"Five hundred thousand taels, A-level mission, fine." Wu Xin agreed.

Wuxin had always been interested in this giant bird, and Daimyo agreed to issue the commission, so the specifications of an A-level task were naturally enough.

As they were talking, the guard who was supposed to get the photo came hurriedly over and, at the signal of Daimyo, handed the photo to Wuxin.

Wu Xin took the photo and looked at it. The giant bird in the photo was green-gray all over, with golden beak and claws. It was very large. Because the photo was taken from the bottom up, only one claw could be seen on the belly of the giant bird.

This image is very consistent with the image of Payne's Yatagarasu, but there is no photo of the back, so it is not certain whether the bird has claws on its back.

In addition, this bird can also drop bombs. If it can be subdued as a spiritual beast, a flying spiritual beast will be of great help to Wuxin. Wuxin did not hesitate and said:

"Since Your Highness has issued the commission, I will naturally share your worries!

Let's rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, I will set out to get rid of it!"

When the Daimyo of the Bird Country heard Wuxin's agreement, he was overjoyed and said:

"Of course you should, you are exhausted from the journey, you deserve to rest for a while!

Is one day of rest enough? How about a week of sightseeing in the capital, relaxing and resting before setting off again? "

"No, one day of rest is enough."

Wuxin waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to go through so much trouble.

The team had traveled a long distance and Wuxin was a little tired, so they really needed to rest for a while before setting off again.

After Wu Xin accepted the task, both parties had a great time. Under the reception of the daimyo, all kinds of delicious game were served to them. After the meal, there were singing and dancing performances, which Wu Xin watched with great gusto.

After the initial contact, the daimyo arranged for his attendants to lead Wuxin and others to a room in the palace to let them rest.

The room was fully equipped with living furniture and bedding had been made out. Wuxin gave the three members of the team some simple instructions, and after dark, they turned off the lights and rested.

next day

After Wuxin told the three little guards not to be careless, he quietly left the palace and headed for Gel Mountain in the west.

After trekking all the way, we arrived at Dager Mountain at dark. We had no intention of setting up camp to rest, so after daybreak we went into the mountains to look for giant birds.

The mountains are rugged and difficult to navigate, but for the ninjas, the impact is limited.

After a whole morning, Wuxin came to the depths of Gel Mountain and used his White Eyes to explore. After a while, he found the giant bird's nest.

“At the top of the cliff at 18 kilometers, there is actually a bird’s nest.

This bird has one claw on its lower abdomen and two claws on its back. It seems to be the one that belonged to Payne.

Hmm? Are those eggs under the Yatagarasu? Is the bird hatching its chicks?

Tsk tsk, is there more than one of these giant birds?"

Wuxin stood on the crown of a big tree, and after exploring for a while, he saw the giant bird's nest.

While observing the Yatagarasu, he was amazed. After exploring it clearly, he closed his byakuya and headed towards the bird's nest.

Gel Mountain is like a primeval forest with all kinds of huge trees standing tall. Wuxin climbed over the mountains and ridges all the way. After half an hour, he arrived at a place about one kilometer away from the Bird's Nest.

Wu Xin cautiously stood on the top of the giant tree, opened his white eyes again, and observed the bird's nest.

The bird's nest is built on the protruding edge of the mountain, with cliffs on three sides. The location of the bird's nest is actually a bit abrupt and dangerous.

The giant bird in the bird's nest seemed to be asleep, with its eyes closed, curled up quietly in the nest.

After Wuxin finished observing, he closed his eyes and ran towards the bird's nest.

After a while, Wuxin came outside the bird's nest.

Looking at the bird's nest from a distance doesn't make much of a difference, but when you get next to it, you'll realize how huge it is. It's like a coiled snake, and the combined height of the tree branches is estimated to be fifty meters.

Wuxin took a deep breath, circulated his chakra to his feet, and climbed up the bird's nest just like he did during tree climbing training.
