The country of grass is located between the country of fire and the country of earth, which is the territory of the five great powers that are not included, and the adjacent country is the country of ash, the two countries are adjacent to each other, and the struggle has not ended since the founding of the country, and the national strength of both countries has been greatly weakened by the impact of the Second Ninja World War.

It doesn't feel good to be caught between the big powers, and if you want to break through this shackle, you can only annex and grow, and strive to one day have a power to compete with the five major powers.

The Second Shinobi War brought disaster, but also opportunity.

When the big countries have no spare power, it is the best time for the small countries to annex and grow.

After a dreary long run, Orochimaru's team arrived at the Grass Country Alert Area, which was surrounded by many plants, in the evening.

A ninja wearing a forehead guard appeared from the afterglow of dusk and shouted at Orochimaru and the others, "Stop! ”

Orochimaru looked at the ninja and said coldly: "We are the ninjas of Konoha, and this time we have been commissioned by your country to come, this is a token." ”

After speaking, Orochimaru took out a scroll and threw it at the ninja not rashly, but threw it on the ground not far in front of the ninja, the latter's body instantly tensed, swept the scroll on the ground very quickly, made a strange gesture, and then waved the rattan full of spikes in his hand, and quickly rolled the scroll back into his hand.

Holding the scroll, the ninja slowly took two or three steps back, then opened the scroll, and after a moment of confirmation that it was correct, he put the scroll away, and the hostility and vigilance in his eyes immediately weakened a few points.

"Long wait, Konoha ninja."

After gesturing to his companion in the dark, the ninja barely managed to squeeze out a smile and politely said, "Please come with me." ”

Orochimaru nodded slightly, following behind this ninja, Ye Zi and the three of them relaxed slightly when they saw this, and followed behind Orochimaru honestly.

The afterglow of dusk soon dissipated between heaven and earth, and the night slowly fell.

Orochimaru walked through the forest, his gaze swept over the darkness from time to time, and he could easily spot the ninja hiding in the darkness.

"Quite a lot... Has the ninja system of the Grass Country been perfected to this extent? But even so, it was suppressed by the Gray Country, and it seems that the ninja system of the small country is growing rapidly. Orochimaru's eyes flashed with thought.

It wasn't until the Silver Moon was suspended in the sky that the Orochimaru team came to the Grass Country, and was welcomed by the Grass Country that was neither warm nor cold, but despite the wartime, the Grass Country still properly arranged food and accommodation for Ye Zi and them.

"Whew, it's a happy thing to feel in bed for the first time." The well-fed North Star Night lay on the bed with a satisfied face.

Kuyukina sat on the bed near the corner, complaining that the country of grass had arranged the group of them in a room, but as a ninja, it was not difficult to accept.

"Rest early, maybe we'll have to go to the Grey Country early tomorrow morning." Kuyukina patted the dust off the pillow.

"Hmm." Beixingye got up from the bed, looked at Ye Zi, who was standing silently in front of the window, and said, "Ye Zi, what are you looking at?" ”

Hearing this, Ye Zi glanced at Beixingye slightly, and said lightly: "It's nothing." ”

Bei Xingye listened to Ye Zi's cold tone, sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then rest early, this mission is the most difficult in the history of our team, and we have to recuperate our spirits first." ”

Jiu Xingnai's action of patting the pillow stopped abruptly, staring at the pillow silently, but the corner of his eye was paying attention to Ye Zi.

Ye Zi turned his head, looked at the large unknown plants in the night outside the window, and said lightly: "I'm not tired, you guys should rest first, I'll go out for a walk." ”

After saying that, he walked straight to the door.

Beixingye watched Ye Zi open the door and walk out, and then looked at Jiu Xingnai with a depressed expression.

"Rest." Jiu Xingna continued to pat the pillow casually, as if she wanted to pat the dust off the pillow.

Beixingye sighed and honestly lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The land of grass coexists with plants, and the insects chirp non-stop at night, and you can smell the strong fragrance as soon as you go out.

Since the country of grass did not say that they could not walk at will at night when they received them, Ye Zi was not polite, and when Orochimaru had not returned, he went shopping.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking the air sounded in my ears.

Ye Zi's expression remained unchanged, his head turned sideways, and he saw a black shadow brushing his neck, falling to the sand, looking at it through the light, but it was a green spike, which seemed to be a hidden weapon made of an unknown plant, similar to a thousand books.

Being attacked by an inexplicable sneak attack, Ye Zi was not angry, and turned to look at the roof of a house surrounded by vines.

"Who are you? How I've never seen you. Above the roof, a very good-looking young woman stared at Ye Zi below, her tone was puzzled and vigilant, however, in the darkness, there was a hint of hidden cunning in her eyes.

Ye Zi didn't see the cunning in the woman's eyes, and only misunderstood the other party, so he politely explained: "I'm a Konoha ninja." ”

He thought that this explanation would be enough, however, the woman took out another green thousand books and said in a calm tone: "How do I know if you are true or false." ”

At this moment, Ye Zicai understood a little that the other party seemed to be deliberately finding fault.

His eyes slowly cooled, Ye Zi looked at the opponent's extremely strong attacking posture, and did not draw his knife, but just looked coldly at the woman on the roof.

"I can understand that the first sneak attack was a misunderstanding, if you make another move, even if this is your territory, I will not be polite!"
