Chapter 32: The Beginning of the Conspiracy
[[[CP|W:361|H:276|A:L|U:http://file2.qidian.com/chapters/20155/26/3441827635682584328545054504219.jpg]]] (Gifu Prefecture, Japan)
150 kilometers east of Konoha Village, the land of fire, in Gifu Town.
The bustling town of Gifu is one of the more famous tourist destinations, and the Dream Valley here is breathtaking, and the beautiful valley is like another world, with strange trees, meandering hot springs, and low-rise wooden houses that seem to be at one with nature. Every year, it attracts tourists and wealthy people from all over the world, so the tourism industry here is extremely developed, and almost all the buildings in a small town are hostels.
However, it was such a town to linger in, and when Amber arrived, all she saw was the scorched black trees that had just been extinguished and were still smoking.
"This ...... This is? Amber stood in amazement at the entrance of the town, and the street opposite was in ruins.
"This is supposed to be Gifu Town, but unfortunately, I was thinking of soaking in the hot springs when I passed by." Parker shook his head and said.
"Are you still in the mood for a hot spring at this time?" Amber rolled her eyes and headed towards the town.
The town was deserted, barely invisible, puddles of blood on the ruins indicated heavy casualties, and occasionally a few people could be seen hiding vigilantly in the corner, looking at Amber from afar with strange eyes.
"They did it...... Amber said with a grimace.
"It should be, but it's so messy, the smell is masked, it's hard to be sure." Parker sniffed around.
"What the hell are they trying to do?" Amber was a little panicked in her heart, this was simply a one-sided massacre, the ninja world rules did not allow the casual use of ninjutsu on ordinary people, but there were no rules at all during the war, and no one could stop this kind of thing.
Suddenly, a sound piercing the air sounded from behind, and Amber quickly jumped to the side to dodge the attack, which turned out to be a crossbow arrow.
Two guards dressed as guards and armed with bows and crossbows stood not far away, staring at Amber with resentment on their faces.
"Hey, I'm a Konoha ninja, what are you doing?!" Amber explained loudly, presumably there was some misunderstanding.
"Konoha ninja? That's right, kill him for me! With a wave of his hand, a guard who appeared to be the captain waved his hand, and a dozen guards came out of the corners, all armed with bows and crossbows, and surrounded Amber.
"Love...... That's not right, Amber. Parker shuddered and ducked at Amber's feet, a little panicked.
"Aren't you able to disarm the psychic and escape? Afraid of what. Amber said, glancing at Parker.
"I'm still young, and I don't have enough chakras to travel for a few days and can't disarm the psychic unless Kakashi helps." Parker explained.
"I see, then I can eat dog meat at night." Amber teased
"Don't make jokes like that!" Parker yelled in displeasure.
At this time, all the guards were ready, and the captain gave an order, and a dozen crossbow arrows stabbed Amber at great speed.
"Pseudo-return to the sky!"
The sword case spread, and a semicircular chakra shield tightly shielded Amber and Parker, and all the bolts were bounced off.
"What?!" The captain was taken aback, these bow and crossbow guards were trained, and ordinary people couldn't avoid them at all, and at least they had to be injured.
"Hey, can you talk well? I'm really a Konoha ninja. Amber put away the blade and pointed to the forehead guard on her head and said helplessly.
When the captain saw that the bow and crossbow were useless, he waved his hand to stop the guards and said coldly: "What is the purpose of your coming here!" ”
"I was just passing by and saw something wrong here, so I came to take a look." Amber said.
"Now you've read it, right? Get out of here! Konoha ninjas are not welcome here. The captain said unceremoniously.
"Not welcome? Why? Amber was stunned, this is not a foreign country, and its ninjas are not welcome.
"Humph! You ninjas in Konoha attacked our town, and you're embarrassed to ask us? ”
"What?! Was it the Konoha ninja who attacked? How is this possible? Amber was shocked.
"Humph! It's you Konoha ninjas, we've found proof! The captain took out a forehead guard from his arms, and the forehead guard was the unique leaf-shaped logo of Konoha Village.
"It took a lot of effort to shoot down one of them." The captain said resentfully.
Parker shrugged his nose and turned his head and said, "That's the forehead guard of Kamizuki Inoue, and it smells of him on it." ”
"What?!" Amber was shocked, was Inoue-sensei really in their hands?
After thinking about it, Amber said to the captain of the guard: "To tell you the truth, I am tracking a team of ninjas from the Land of Wind, and it is likely that they are the ones who attacked your town, and they have captured a Konoha ninja, and the forehead guard in your hand should be that Konoha ninja." ”
The captain of the guard frowned, he couldn't believe the Konoha ninja now, he couldn't figure out whether it was real or not.
"We'll find out who attacked it, so please get out of here now." The captain said.
"Yes, but I need to check the forehead guard." Amber said.
"No, this is important evidence, I can't give it to you!" The captain's face changed.
Amber sighed, and with a movement of her fingers, a silver light flashed, and a blade pressed against the captain's neck.
"You ......" the captain stiffened, staring at Amber in fear.
"Don't think about fighting ninjas, if I want to kill you, it will only take ten seconds at most." Amber said, walking over to the captain and taking the forehead guard from his hand and checking it.
"Huh?" Amber pulled out a folded note from the mezzanine of her forehead, scribbling the line "Konoha ninjas are damned!" The breeze stays. ”
Amber's face was a little ugly, it was obvious that this group of sand ninjas hated Konoha ninjas, and Inoue-sensei didn't know what treatment they would receive if they fell into their hands.
"Gone, Parker." Amber put away the note, returned the forehead guard to the captain of the guard, and turned around and walked out of town, where she had to catch up with them as quickly as possible.
Amber and Parker search around the town, retracking their scent.
"Parker, we're going to pick things up, you get on my back." Amber said as she hurried.
"Oh, that's great." Parker wrapped his two front paws around Amber's neck and happily stuck out his tongue.
"Bang!" The ground under Amber's feet exploded, and the whole person sped forward, half as fast as before.
"Hey, Amber, this speed isn't good for long-range tracking." Parker said.
"It's okay, I have a lot of chakras, and I can hold on for a while." Amber said.
In this mode, Amber has to slightly burst a little chakra every step he takes, although it is not much, but it accumulates quite a lot, and the average amount of chakra ninja lasts for two hours is almost to the limit, and Amber estimates that he can last six hours, so he does not hesitate to spend Chakra on the road.
Two hours later, Amber arrives in another town, where the other seems to have stopped, presumably for supplies, and leaves the town without sabotage.
Until dark, Amber stopped, and for most of the day, the chakra was almost exhausted, and the panting Amber leaned against a tree to rest.
"Amber, don't you think it's strange?" Parker asked, jumping off Amber's back and looking at Amber.
"Strange? Yes, there are some. Amber took out the rice balls and water she had bought in the previous town from her bag, chewed it slowly, and said, "We have already passed through four small towns and two small towns today, and it stands to reason that they are deep behind enemy lines and should try to avoid entering the cities, but they are just the opposite, except for Gifu Town, which was attacked, the other towns just stayed for a while, and they really couldn't figure out what they wanted to do." ”
"Well, if it's just a supply, it's impossible to replenish so many times a day." Parker tilted his head and couldn't figure out why.
"How far are we from them?" Amber asked.
Parker thought for a moment and said, "Based on the degree of attenuation of the smell and the speed at which you are traveling, you should be almost catching up with them tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Well, excuse me, I need to take a break." Amber finished speaking, leaning against the tree and falling asleep.
"Really, I've been tired for days, and my hair isn't shiny." Parker muttered and rubbed against Amber a few times.
After a night of silence, early the next morning, Amber endured the aches and pains all over her body and continued to track down.
It didn't take long for another town to appear in front of me.
"Parker, let's not go around town, let's go inside and see where they've been." Amber said, looking at the town.
This town called Shirakawa Town is located on the main road, and the scale is slightly larger, and many merchants pass through here, so the economy is relatively prosperous, and the streets are very lively.
"Amber, here." Parker sniffed, took the amber to a small alley, pointed to the depths of the alley and said, "They have stopped here, and there is a smell of Kamitsuki Inoue here." ”
"What are you doing here?" Amber looked at the walls on either side of the alley, the walls of two high-end inns, nothing strange.
Parker took Amber and followed Inoue-sensei's scent around the town, and the other party stopped in more than a dozen locations in the town, all in some inexplicable places, with no pattern at all, and finally Parker stopped in front of an udon noodle restaurant.
"They were here for the last time." Parker said.
Amber thought about it, walked into the noodle shop and sat down and said, "Let's eat something first, by the way." ”
"Okay, I'll also have a bowl of noodles, and I'm going to have a dry mix of noodles." Parker nodded, jumped on the table and said.
Amber called the waiter, ordered two bowls of noodles, and by the way, asked if there was a group of special people who came yesterday, but unfortunately Amber didn't know what the characteristics of the other party were, and there was a mixture of things here, so I didn't inquire about anything special.
After waiting for the meeting, Parker went to the bathroom, and when he came back, he approached Amber and said, "I found something strange, you can come and see." After saying that, he came to the bathroom with amber, pointed to a door panel in the bathroom and said, "Here, I smell a trace of chakra." It seems to be a detonator. ”
"What?! Detonator? Are you sure? Amber's expression changed, and she had a bad feeling.
