At this time, the Fire Country is already snowing heavily, and although the countries further south are also colder, snowy days may be rare for several years.

The cold wind invaded, making Sasuke can't help but tighten his neckline.

It's been a while since I've been in this country, and the rumored mission target still hasn't been discovered.

It's not a very big place, Sasuke has checked back and forth several times, and apart from a few uninhabited ruins and unfounded rumors, he has never seen a creature that has anything to do with youkai or murderers.

If it goes on like this, the assessment task that was won with great difficulty this time is very likely to fail, and as for the promotion or something, it is naturally impossible.

Originally, the matter of applying for promotion to Shangnin was criticized, and if the task failed, it is estimated that there will be no such good opportunity for a long time.

Sasuke will not miss every challenge to prove his strength and strength, especially when he thinks that the Uchiha Itachi in the same period has surpassed him, and the sense of urgency in his heart is even more overwhelming.

On the road that man once walked, if he couldn't surpass him, how could he possibly kill this man to take revenge?

"Murderer, don't say that you can't beat it now, you can't even see a shadow, what should I do?"

How can I complete the task properly? At least get a good review, that's the most basic bottom line. Otherwise, the person who wants to push him up will not even be able to say good things.

Sasuke, who had no success again, had no choice but to return to the town where he was temporarily resting, and he used the transformation technique to conceal his true identity, and it was too easy to fool these civilians who had never seen much of the world.

Although there was no progress in the mission, after a few days of reconnaissance, Sasuke also gained something, and he didn't find that it was a very conspicuous anomaly.

You must know that the killings that alarm a country will not be based on false rumors, and the possibility of groundless rumors is very small. Since you can come up with real money to release high-level missions in Konoha, it must not be a trivial matter of joke.

But the strange thing is that he was able to evade his own inspection, and he couldn't even find any clues in the writing wheel, so it was obvious that someone was helping to cover up the traces, so that is......

"It's not a simple irrational killing, at least one or a group of elite ninja ninjas are helping to cover up the truth. ”

The enemy's purpose is completely unknown, but the expected mission of clearing out monsters or exterminating bandits is certainly impossible.

"A powerful ninja?

It would be great to have a large enough enemy's head as a sacrifice for his promotion to the upper ninja.

After thinking about it for a long time, Sasuke took out a pen and paper, recorded the latest progress of the mission, and brought it back to the village with the herald bird unique to the dark part.

Although he is confident in his own strength, Sasuke is not arrogant enough to be stupid. To do this kind of dangerous and strange task, a person must maintain the necessary contact with the village, even if there is an accident in the end, he can also look forward to the rescue of the village, how to use all the combat power that he can count on, is his greatest feeling and gain during this time.

As night fell, Zo pushed open the window of his room and looked out the window at the popular street.

"Huh!"

Sasuke, who was originally a little distracted, unexpectedly saw some incongruous phenomena,

"It's getting dark, and it stands to reason that all the birds are going to return to their nests, so why are some of them shuttling back and forth?"

As far as the eye can see, several jays that are clearly not nocturnal animals such as night owls are wandering the town.

"Do you mean ......?"

Sasuke closed the window alertly, and after calming down, he secretly opened a crack, opened the writing wheel eye, and carefully observed these suspicious birds.

"Sure enough, there's a problem, is it tracking me?"

Birds have a limited IQ, and if they are not specially bred ninja beasts, they are not sensitive to differences in human appearance, and they happen to have used the transformation technique to disguise themselves.

Although it is a little unsettling to be targeted at the enemy's sight that you may enter, at least you are sure that the enemy does exist, and it is not a simple thing.

For ninjas, the most terrifying thing is not a strong enemy, but the unknown that they are at a loss for. As long as there is speculation, even the strongest ninja can arrange tactical responses after getting sufficient information, and everything has room for operation.

"Mizuki-sensei is right, erudition is not a disadvantage, learn a little more seemingly useless knowledge, maybe it will come in handy at any time!"

Sasuke, who had been struggling for a few days, simply put out the lights in the house, put down all his thoughts and began to replenish his strength, and moved non-stop for a few days, and his body was a little unbearable.

……

Since leaving that self-bound cage, Shigego doesn't remember how long it has been.

Except for when the curse mark broke out and turned into a murderer, he had been staying in the dark underground cave to live, and the sword-wielding boy who was still with him had long since left.

No matter how good your temper is, in the face of a person who ignores you, you won't have the patience to follow you all the time, not to mention that you have always had the possibility of losing control and killing the other party.

Looking at the frightened eyes of the young man who claimed to be the ghost lantern Mizugetsu saw him, Shigego knew that the other party and himself were not all the way, and he would never be able to become a shackle to his out-of-control self like Kaguya-kun Maro, who had died a long time ago. Therefore, I was not interested in this guy with a malicious smile at all, and I didn't want to deal with him.

Shigego always remembered that day, when a sudden explosion turned the original base upside down, Shigego's heart shook and he couldn't control his desire to kill.

The last impression that came to my eye was a strange red cloud robe on a black background, and after that, Shigego rushed forward without hesitation, and the next development of things was completely unclear. When he woke up again, the ill-intentioned ghost lantern Shuiyue was already by his side.

It seemed that the boy was babbling a lot in his ear, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and he couldn't remember exactly what he said, but he just followed the instinct of survival and came all the way from the sea to this place.

Until not long ago, Mizuki was still with him, and in the end he couldn't bear to leave alone.
