Well, it's decided, multi-pronged, it's just that the update is going to be slowed down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

*************************************************************************************

The mine owner snorted, "Ah, Okubo, don't worry, of course I'll take you in, in fact, I don't have any reason to fire you?" There's been a lot going on in this time, but it's not your fault! As he spoke, he glanced at us from the corner of his eye.

"No, mine owner, please listen to me!" Okubo paused for a moment and pursed his lips, "The reason why I had to involve two ninjas to go down to save me, encountered an accident, and destroyed the mine, in fact, it was all because of myself!" If not...... How can you ...... if you covet the interests of the mine?"

Okubo recounted what had happened in fits and starts. It turned out that he was lazy and could not endure the hard work of the mine, and several times when he went down the mine, he waited for the opportunity to hide the purer ore mined in an abandoned roadway, and when the last collapse occurred, he took advantage of the chaos to bring out a part of the mine without passing the inspection, and yesterday he had dug up a good ore and was ready to put it in the private storage, who would have thought that he was blocked by the inexplicable bulge of the earth flow wall, and he had been trying to dig to open an exit, but then he panicked because of the mine permeability, Unable to find a way out...... The rest of the story is known.

"I buried the ore I brought out in the back of the yard before, and I will return it to you now, and in the future, I will work sincerely for you, and I will never be lazy again!" Please take me in so that I can feed my mother and brother! Okubo said with tears in his eyes. His head rested on the ground, motionless, just waiting for the verdict to be pronounced.

"......" said this, the buzzing discussion gradually subsided, the house turned silent, and the private storage of ores is not a trivial matter! In some mines, it is not uncommon for the mine owner to be whipped to death for this crime alone, and the mine owner only pays a few small bucks for it!

But, with us here, of course things can't go that way.

Obviously, Deidara and I already knew about it, but we had the heart to cover it up, and the mine owner couldn't be so unkind. "It's hard for you to say such a thing in person, so I won't care about myself, you can continue to work in my mine, but for the time being, the salary can only be half of what it used to be, and I will adjust your salary according to your performance."

Although the family of three only relied on his little salary, Okubo was still grateful and full of joy. Because he did something wrong, it was difficult for others to say anything, and a turmoil was over.

I was not satisfied, because of such an accident, we could not continue our exploration, and it was really frustrating, as it would be difficult to re-determine and reach the location of the mine's eye, and I could not waste any more time in this place.

But it's also helpless! Since it was an accident, it was also irreversible, and we had to look for the next target.

Fortunately, in the information that Uncle Kamei gave us, there was another mine that had recently had an accident that was also part of my travel plan, that is, the Merlin Mine in the Land of Craftsmen.

The Umebayashi Mine is the foundation of the survival of the country of craftsmen, producing the best open-hearth rich iron in Japan, which is enough to support the requirements of any forging technology, so the mine disaster of the Umebayashi Mine has caused a sensation in the industry, and it is no wonder that Uncle Kamei will point it out.

And the country of craftsmen is also the destination I designated for the doppelganger.

Before carrying out a specific investigation, they still planned to settle down in the old inn, but the group completely abandoned the ninja costume to avoid misunderstanding. After all, so many ninjas swaggering into other people's villages will definitely arouse suspicion, especially since Konoha has just caught their ancestor Qingqing two months ago, although it was forced, but it is unreasonable to say it on face after all.

So, it's better to keep a low profile and keep a low profile!

Still, despite the fact that it had been almost a year, the innkeeper recognized me at a glance and caught me off guard, but fortunately we did not speak until we entered the room, and the few people behind us remained very well-behaved and did not speak.

"Whew~ The eyes of businessmen are poison!" I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, is that okay?" Soma asked cautiously.

"Hehe," I tried to show a smile that reassured him, "even if you deliberately cover it up, it's useless, the country of craftsmen is no longer the country of craftsmen it used to be!" Sooner or later, the news of the arrival of the Konoha ninja will spread, and if we act too secretively now, it is more likely that others will think that we have ulterior motives in the future. Anyway, the boss still only treats me as an ordinary hunter, from tomorrow, we will go our separate ways, and it is also an obvious goal for the team to be together~"

Sakai and Deidara obviously didn't want to say anything about the matter, and they were silent from the beginning until I was assigned a task and each of them was ordered to go back to their rooms.

It is good to let Sakai and the three small branches explore the details of the mining accident and related rumors, or even rumors, because the more imagination is attached, the closer they can get to the truth.

Of course I was walking around the village...... And Deidara didn't dare to let him go of his side, and until now he still cares about spying on him every night, not because he thinks he's a threat, but because if he really lets him run away like this, Tsunade really can't explain it.

As for why you want to "hang out" like this, it's just that you're not reconciled, or maybe there's really a hint of feeling in the dark that makes me think I should look around.

Sure enough, I found some traces on a hidden courtyard wall, and I stood over with a slight smile, quietly took a closer look, and walked to the next station.

Deidara saw the key, but he didn't know the secret code that passed inside Konoha Village, so he could only follow my footsteps, but along the way, he was also secretly paying attention to his memory, but he didn't dare to blatantly take pictures with the camera in his left eye.

I ignored him, and just followed the symbol all the way to the outside of the village, and finally reached the foot of a rock.

Well...... Pushed, didn't move, pushed again, still didn't move......

Ah, then...... How did you get it in the first place......

Well...... I went around the rocks, but there was a spring flowing under the rocks, and occasionally bubbles came out and made a gurgling sound.

I see! Ha ha!

On one side, an ice pick technique froze the mountain spring under the stone, and one side of the mountain stone really rose slightly, and he immediately reached out to probe it, and felt a soft package and pulled it out.

Hoho, leave me clues in this way of guessing, you really have you! With a knowing smile, I opened it to see the contents.

Well, a Hearthstone, two teleportation charms, all in it, and a few stones that I don't know what they are, and a scroll.

First took out the scroll and unfolded it, Deidara did not stand up in interest, but sat on the stone depressedly and pressed down desperately, watching the ice melt little by little, and the rocks under him slowly sank, and his focused expression was like that of a child.

I finished reading the scroll, peeked at it, but it was funny in my heart, a fire rushed to the mountain spring, the ice sheet that had been washed away by the water and only a layer of shell was left collapsed, and the mountain rock fell to the ground at once, this time there was no defense, Deidara couldn't help but be shocked, and was about to jump, but due to the momentary weightlessness could not exert force, with the rebound of the vibration slid into the mountain stream, making a face full of water.

Fortunately, it was the height of summer, and it was not dangerous to catch a cold, but Deidara's disbelief and self-pride were so wonderful!

"Hahahaha~~" I couldn't hold back and laughed.

Usually in Konoha, a few people who are often in contact with each other, either don't dare, or don't want to tease, the three little ego are even more reluctant, now it can be regarded as an opponent, you can tease unscrupulously, it's just unbelievable! Did you send it to the door~

In my laughter, Deidara's face became more and more ugly, but thinking that he also knew the truth of "under the eaves of people", he gritted his teeth but did not dare to do anything to me, only said: "If you continue to laugh like this, beware of wrinkles!" ”

“…… Ahem~Ahem! "As a result, this time it was my turn to choke on saliva.

Why is this Deidara so unconscionable!

Someone looked at me smugly, and finally pulled a game back!

Well...... I won't worry about you for the time being, let's see!

I put the scroll away, and the silk bag was emptied and stuffed into the package. Sure enough, the doppelganger was investigated in the country of craftsmen, and I couldn't get rid of those guesses, the raw material of the teleportation charm was turquoise, which was almost certain, and I also collected samples for me, no matter the appearance and feel, it was indeed extremely similar, and the hearthstone ......

Although it looks very much like opal (opal) in terms of luster and enlarged patterns, Hearthstone does not have the characteristics of opal that loses water and becomes brittle at high temperatures; If it is benitoite, in fact, it is mainly a rough judgment from the light blue ring on its surface, but careful identification can rule out this possibility, because benitite is a hexagonal tabular or columnar crystal, but Hearthite is obviously not ......

The scroll also mentions a number of different types of gems that may be the final answer, and all of them collect a specimen and put it in a package, but at the end, there is a legendary ...... The stone, well, can only be said to be a stone, is said to be full of vitality and can be connected with the human spirit, although it is in no way similar to the appearance of the Hearthstone, but it is especially emphasized that I should take a look, and the sample is - the base of the original fire altar!
