Chapter 25: Aomori no Sato
I hurried to the medicine garden, explained it, and rushed to the entrance of the village to meet Kakashi. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Hehe~ Kakashi is carrying a rune cloth bag I sent! I was secretly happy in my heart.
"Which~" Noticing my gaze, Kakashi tilted his head and smiled, picking off the package and holding it in his hand.
"Even though there are only fourteen spacesβ"
"Huh!" Take it out...... It's actually ...... That backpack from his old days! It's obviously full too.
"It really can hold a lot of things!"
I was speechless.
After a while of bad supplements, I already have a certain understanding of the geography of the Hokage world. The country of the forest is supposed to be in the northeast of the country of fire, and you have to go around a big circle to get through the village, so the journey is still very long.
Along the way, we speculated about the purpose of Otoshinobi's operation, and finally came to an agreement and decided to investigate in this direction.
Without further ado, on this day, I finally came to Aomori no Sato.
A small town that looks elegant, with a harmonious family and a very leisurely life.
"Kakashi, this doesn't look like a place where you would have something to do with someone like Orochimaru!"
"That's right!"
"Let's split up and investigate."
"Okay."
So, the two broke up in the center of the town and agreed to come back for a rendezvous in the evening.
"Auntie, has anything strange happened in the town lately?"
"Strange things? Haha, this young lady is a foreigner, right? How can there be anything strange here, how many generations have lived a peaceful and stable life! β
Belch? This......
"Has anyone gone missing or died unexpectedly lately?"
"Cut! What is missing, dead, how unlucky! I'm going to be mad when I say these strange things! Go, go, don't stand at my door, bad luck! β
Driven away...... It's not good to be a teacher! There was another uncle who seemed to be easier to talk to.
"Uncle, have there been any suspicious people in the town lately? Have you seen these people? β
As he spoke, he took out a photo of the three people of Otoshinobi and showed it to him.
"Oh? You ask me, how can I recognize that this town is full of outsiders? β
"Huh? Are they all outsiders? β
"yes, don't you know? We are one of the markets in the forest country! A large gathering is held every half a month, and people from all over the country come here to trade. But speaking of which, those three people just now seem to be really fresh faces, and those who come often will always have a little impression......"
The situation is not good, if this place becomes a distribution center for outsiders, it is really difficult to investigate!
Thank you Uncle and continue to walk forward.
Half a day passed quickly, the town was not big, and it had already come to an end.
Return to the rendezvous place.
"Kakashi, how's it going?"
"There's not much progress, life in this town is too regular, and the appearance of Otoshinobi doesn't seem to break this pattern."
"Hmm. I think our investigation should be moved to the nearby villages! β
"That's right, I'm afraid, Otoshinobi chose to attack here just to confuse our sight."
If you take out the map of Mori no Kuni, there are six small mountain villages near Aomori no Sato, and it won't take long for the two of them to investigate separately.
"So", Kakashi grabbed my hand and bang! Smoke rises.
"Parker, please!"
"Oh~ No problem!"
The two agreed on the scope of the investigation and the time of the rendezvous, and went separately.
I am in charge of the three villages of Iwanuma, Katsuta, and Hino.
Iwanuma Village is built on a rare bare rocky landscape in the forest country, and although it is small in size, it is well planned, and its leader is a very capable person.
Shengtian Village is a typical agricultural village, with traffic and neat fields.
Both villages were peaceful, and no results were found.
By the time I arrived at Hino Village, it was already the twilight of the next day.
From a distance, it looks like a very simple mountain village. The inhabitants are sparse, and they don't look like they have cultivated fields, so what do they live on?
As I got closer, I could vaguely see the hides drying on the outdoor surface of every house, which turned out to be a village with hunting as its main business.
At this time, someone's head flashed in the village, and after a while, a young girl ran out excitedly, and shouted: "Brother Aoi! β
As soon as I ran out of the village, I found that I was not the "Brother Aoi" in her mouth, so she stopped in disappointment and timidly, and turned around and shouted, "Mom! Uncle Village! A stranger came. β
A gentle-looking aunt and a dignified but affectionate uncle then walked out.
"Stranger, why did you come to our village?"
Looks like something is going on in this village, is there going to be progress in my investigation?
"It's true that I'm here for something. I came to the Mori no Kuni because my companion was coerced by the wicked to leave the village, and the day before yesterday there was conclusive evidence that the evil man's accomplices appeared in the Aomori no Sato of the Mori no Kuni. Since there was no sign of them there, I went to the neighborhood to take a look. A few words illustrate my purpose.
"Uncle Village, what did she say...... Woo. The girl was covered in the mouth by her mother.
"So, by the wicked, do you mean?"
I was very embarrassed. The matter of Orochimaru is that ninjas, as long as they hear it, they are either afraid or hateful, and they don't want to have anything to do with it, how can they tell an ordinary person to know.
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm a ninja in the Land of Fire." He pointed to the forehead guard on his head.
"This incident is also related to ninjas, which is very dangerous for ordinary people. I don't want to involve the people in the village in the incident, but I hope that you will provide relevant information so that I can end this matter as soon as possible. β
"Humph!" The girl looked at me unconvinced.
I couldn't help but be secretly amused. Orion, of course, is a little stronger than ordinary people, but compared to ninjas, there is still a world of difference.
"Come in with me, then." The man known as the village chief let me in.
After sitting down, the aunt named Meibei brought refreshments and left with the girl.
"Our village is called Hino, and everyone has Hino as their surname, and I am Hino Masao, the head of this village."
"Yes. It's rude! My name is Yoyo. β
"Alas! It's really not been peaceful in the village lately...... Well, there are some things that seem to have to be said! β
The village chief said in a very sad but resolute tone.
"Thank you for not disagreeing, and you are willing to listen to you."
"Speaking of which, the villagers of Hino Village were actually ninjas too!"
"Ahh I was startled, and I barely swallowed the hot tea in my mouth to avoid making a fool of myself.
"The country of the forest is a very weak country, as the ninja of the country of the forest, there is no way out, and we are not willing to abandon the country and leave our homeland, so we gave up our identity as a ninja a long time ago and went to the vicinity of Aomori no Sato to live in seclusion. The children in the village are all trained as hunters, and they are actually educated as ninjas. Because of this advantage, although we have repeatedly deliberately reduced the production of animal skins and bones, not wanting to attract attention, high-grade animal skins can only be produced by Hino, so most of the hunting villages in Mori no Country are squeezed out by Hino Village and hold a grudge. β
"I don't know why, the news that the people of Hino Village used to be ninjas spread, and since then, people from other ninja villages have continued to peep at us, and even more famous messengers have come forward directly in the hope of receiving members of the village as guards, because we are all masters of tracking and assassination, and we are also experts in counter-tracking."
"However, we have decided to abide by the ancestral teachings and categorically not go out of the mountain, so we have rejected the requests of outsiders again and again. I thought it would be calm, but who knows......"
"Who knew that just three days ago, the most talented child in the village, Aoi Hino, went to trade in Aomori and never returned...... That boy is my son! β
I thought about it for a moment, and took out a photo of the three people of Otoshinobi to show the village chief.
"Ah, these three people have also appeared near the village before."
"Aoi's child, is there anything special about it compared to other children?"
"So, yes, indeed." The village chief looked me fixedly in the eyes, as if he was making some judgment in his heart.
"Can you tell me about your partner's disappearance?"
"That's right...... It is also inaccurate to say that it is missing. To be precise, he himself is willing to follow the other party, in order to pursue the so-called power. β
"Strength...... Our Aoi has special powers. β
"Huh?"
"He, inherited the bloodline of the Hino clan."
With such a small mountain village, will there also be a blood inheritance limit? It's really not to be taken lightly.
"It is precisely because of the awakening of the power of the blood inheritance in him that he feels that the Hino clan should get rid of the current situation of living in a corner of peace, and should make a difference in the troubled times. This also represents the views of many young people in the village. β
I nodded in understanding.
"If the matter has anything to do with the person in the photo you just showed, those three days have passed......"
Now Aoi is the only clue, and without further ado, a decision must be made quickly.
"Please give me an item that Aoi used to use."
The village chief took us to Aoi's room.
"Ah, it's full of smells!" Parker said suddenly, and the village chief was startled.
"Huh." I nodded and smiled at the village chief, signaling not to panic.
"Shadow clone!"
"Please come to ......" looked at the location of the dot representing Kakashi on the map panel, and checked it against the map of Mori no Kuni. Go to Haramachi and find Kakashi and tell him what's going on here, so that he can catch up with us as soon as possible. β
"Yes! Be careful, I'm going! The doppelganger broke out of the door.
"Alright, Parker, let's go! If you can catch up with Aoi Hino, I'll leave it to you! β
"Oh, no problem!"
Watching us leave with confidence, the uncle also clenched his fists.
"Uncle Village! Will they really be able to get Brother Aoi back? The girl, who had been eavesdropping outside the window, rushed in.
"Maybe ......"
When I got to a place outside the village where there was no one, I stopped and summoned the imp Beechcraft. The guys in the sound of shinobi are all weirdos, and there is really no chance of winning one to three, and one more helper is one.
"Master, why did it take so long to call me out!" Beechcraft said in a flash, making a phase shift, and vanished.
Although he has his own consciousness, the setting of many words has not changed...... What a headache for personality!
Parker wrinkled his nose, "This way!" β
While chasing, I recalled the previous battles since I came to the world of the Hokage, and the skills I have mastered so far, the strengths and weaknesses. The feeling of not having a companion around is indeed a bit unsettling.
Fortunately, a day later, Kakashi followed, and his hanging heart finally relaxed. Thinking that Kakashi often went on missions alone, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times in admiration.
Kakashi touched his nose in confusion, "What's wrong?" β
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly discovered the underlying masculinity in you!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Hahaha!" Parker laughed ungracefully.
"So, what exactly is Aoi's bloodline?"
"Ahh This one...... I was in a hurry, and I didn't even ask. "Sure enough, I'm still inexperienced, and I forgot to ask about such an important thing.
"In that case, there will be too little information!"
The three people of the sound ninja,We have carefully watched the battle during the selection of the middle ninja.,KuroishiγShiraishi is good at earth escape ninjutsu.,And Mikasa is probably a medical ninja who has undergone special training.,Also has the "palm immortal technique" that can cut off the muscle fibers in the human body.,Last time Temari suffered a big loss under his hands.,If it's not for the timely treatment.,I'm afraid I'm going to be disabled.γ
"By the way, Masao Village Chief once said that the people in the village are all masters of tracking and assassination, and Aoi's ability in this regard is not bad, and it is likely to be related to his blood inheritance."
"There is a possibility of this. So, be careful! β
