Chapter 142: Infiltration
Hidden in a dense fog, the circular concrete multi-storey buildings rise and fall, hiding countless murderous opportunities.
This is the Fog Hidden Village, the ninja village that was once submerged in the blood mist, even if the cruel rule was abandoned under the leadership of the five generations of Mizukage Terumi, but after so many years of recuperation, it seems that there is still a trace of blood in the nose, and if you look carefully at the pale cement wall washed by the rain, there is still a faint trace of black traces left by blood coagulation for many years between the cracks.
A somewhat sloppy middle-aged ninja stood at the sentry post at the head of the wall and monitored the outside of the village, but unfortunately today's fog was exceptionally thick, and he couldn't see anything clearly from dozens of meters away, and it was white.
Dozing off, the middle-aged ninja slapped his face in an attempt to cheer up, but last night there were two assassinations in the village in a row, which disturbed him all night, and he was really tired and couldn't stand it at this time.
Suddenly, in the afterglow of the middle-aged ninja, a faint red light seemed to be faintly captured.
"What is it?" the middle-aged ninja looked at the red light suspiciously, but the next moment, a strange power instantly invaded his eyes.
"Illusion! enemy ......" The middle-aged ninja stiffened, and finally couldn't say the word enemy attack.
Struggling, the middle-aged ninja struggled to control the button with his right hand to the side, it was the siren, as long as he pressed it, the garrison would come immediately.
Just a little, just a little, the middle-aged ninja's hand finally drooped down, and the whole person stood there quietly, staring at the red light with dull and empty eyes.
"Whoosh!", a black chain broke through the thick fog and wrapped itself around the pillar of the sentry box, and the next moment the chain shrank suddenly, dragging a figure into the sentry box.
"Tsk, this guard is too lax, isn't it? There is only one person in a standard two-person post now. The man lifted his cloak, revealing an amber face.
"Hmph, even if it's two people, my illusion can be done just as well. Ying jumped in from outside the wall and landed on Amber's shoulders, her eyes glowing red, and the hexagonal windmill slowly turned.
"Yes, yes, our Ying is the best. ”
"Of course, remember to take me to eat delicious food in a while, I heard that the grilled fish in Wuyin Village is very distinctive. ”
"Little gluttonous cat, saliva is coming out. ”
"Why!"
The streets of Wuyin Village are still quite lively, no matter what the upper echelons of the village are, at least for the civilians in the village, it is just an after-dinner topic.
Amber changed into civilian clothes, her silver hair dyed the most inconspicuous gray-black, and she wore a pair of earthy glasses, and her whole body became invisible.
Regardless of the situation, the first thing to do is to gather intelligence, and the place where the most information is is of course the restaurant.
Finding a barbecue restaurant with a large family, Amber sat in the corner of the hall, ordered some grilled fish and a pot of tea, and quietly listened to the conversation of the diners.
The voices in the restaurant were a bit noisy, and the content was all intermittent fragments of information, and after listening to it for a long time, I didn't get any valuable information, but Amber didn't expect to hear anything valuable, and a ninja with a little common sense would never talk about important information out loud on such an occasion.
What Amber needs is not the information itself, but it is enough to discern who might have it, as long as she keeps an eye on that person, finds an opportunity to knock him out with a stick, and tortures or something to Ying.
Suddenly, a kunai shot in through the window, shattering a piece of glass and nailing it to the wall.
Amber looked out of the window suspiciously, and found that four masked ninjas appeared on the street at some point, and a wounded young ninja was besieged by them, and soon, the outnumbered young ninja couldn't support it and fell to the ground, and was quickly escorted away by the dark people.
"Isn't that Mr. Jitai from the Ministry of Intelligence? What's going on? brother. A young ninja in the restaurant said in surprise.
"Hey, maybe it's an excuse to suspect that it seems to be related to the assassination of Mizukage-sama, and to be taken into custody for interrogation. The other older blue-clad ninja shook his head and stopped looking out the window, and took a drink from his glass, his face full of depression.
"Damn!" the young ninja clenched his fists, sat down and said, "Now that Mizukage-sama is missing, shouldn't the top priority be search and rescue? Why are you arresting people everywhere?
"Why didn't there be a search and rescue?The village sent at least ten teams to find Mizukage-sama, but ...... Hehe, don't talk about it, these things are not for you to worry about, just go home after eating, I have to rush to the intelligence department, and tell my mother that I may work overtime at night. ”
After settling the bill and patting his brother on the head, the ninja in blue turned and walked out of the restaurant and towards the Intelligence Department building.
When he walked into an alley with few pedestrians, a cat was crouching on the ground, blocking his path.
"Go away, go away. The blue-clothed ninja waved his hand irritably to chase the cat away, but the next moment, a red light flashed in the cat's eyes, and everything fell into darkness.
~~~~~~
An hour later, in a vacant house, Amber put down her pen and stared at her notebook without saying a word, and on a stool in the room, the blue-clad ninja sat with blank eyes.
"Amber, do you need to ask any more?" asked Ying, crouching on the table.
"No, let him go. Amber rubbed her eyebrows and said.
"Okay. Ying turned to stare at the blue-clothed ninja, waved her paw and said, "You rush to the intelligence department now, you will accidentally fall on the way, and then forget everything just now, remember?"
"Remember...... Live...... ......" The blue-clothed ninja replied mechanically, got up and walked out of the room slowly.
"This Fog Hidden Village is simply a mess. Amber put down her notebook and sighed.
Judging from the information asked, the fifth generation of Mizukage Terumi was ambushed on the way to attend the meeting of the Daimyo's Mansion, and nothing was left at the scene except for the traces of the tragic battle, there was no corpse and no bloodstains, and it was impossible to confirm whether the Mizukage was dead or alive, and it stands to reason that this kind of thing happened, and the Daimyo of the Land of Water should immediately appoint an agent of the Mizukage, and at the same time stabilize the situation and go all out to carry out search and rescue work, but the current situation is that the Daimyo of the Land of Water suddenly fell ill.
On the second day of Mizukage's disappearance, as Mizukage's secretary and the only one with white eyes, the 'Qing' openly accused the Council of Elders of assassinating Mizukage at the mid-level meeting and came up with a lot of strong evidence, which caused an uproar for a while, and a large number of ninjas loyal to Mizukage fell to Qing, and then the two sides immediately became close to each other, with non-stop verbal wars, and even a fierce conflict at one point.
In the end, the Elder was forced to be anxious and began to arrest the ninjas who were making trouble, causing panic among all the ninjas above the middle ninja, and dissatisfaction and anger were accumulating little by little.
