Chapter 11: Into the Land of Wind
The country of the river, at the junction with the country of the wind.
After a few vertical jumps, Makoto stopped in front of a steep mountain wall, stretched out his windbreaker with his right hand, and made a command gesture of "all team stop".
Ayuchi and Kaitaro stopped beside him one after another, then Rei, Kiyoke, Hirohiko, and finally Totoyo, who was in charge of the rear of the team.
As we got closer to the desert, the sight became more and more desolate, and at this time, there was almost no grass, only large rocks or mountain walls, which formed canyons like axes for passers-by to pass through.
Everyone focused their eyes on Makoto, and Makoto said calmly:
"I'm about to enter the Land of Winds, and there are some things I need to repeat again."
He paused, and Du Feng leaned over, walked to his side, and said very kindly:
"You're the captain, and that's all as it should be."
Stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling person, what's more, before leaving, Cheng had already decided to be a little more harmonious with Du Feng's family, so Cheng also nodded to Du Feng, but he didn't show a smile:
"The mission requires us to go deep into the interior of the Land of the Wind - although we have tried to avoid the location of the Sand Hidden Village, but, as the base camp of the Sand Ninja, in the Land of the Wind, it is impossible for us to not encounter the Sand Ninja once during the entire mission."
Du Feng nodded, and the rest of the people listened quietly.
Makoto looked at Qingxi, his face softened, and he explained to the three Qingxi who might have doubts:
"You should have learned in the ninja school that a big country like the Land of the Wind has made an alliance with Konoha requires a visa in principle to enter the country.
"However, the goal of our mission this time is to hunt down a traitor in the village, and this traitor is likely to be shielded by the sand ninja, so it is impossible for us to obtain access from the sand ninja openly.
"The strength of this renegade ninja is only a special ninja level at most, so the biggest danger of this mission comes from the possible sand ninja - even, the sand ninja may use this renegade as bait to set a trap for us to take the bait."
Everyone was silent, but Li laughed, and he asked in a loud voice:
"So what are we going to do? Our strength is not high, and it is impossible for the village to arrange the kind of task that requires confrontation with the entire sand ninja for us to carry out, right? ”
Makoto nodded and said:
"Of course not, so what we have to do is to hide our identities and infiltrate, and after completing the mission, the village arranged several caravans for us to leave the Wind Country safely."
The actual combat power of the target is not strong, and the reason why 7 ninjas were sent to carry out this mission is to consider that if they can't succeed the first time, they will startle the snake, and under the counterattack of the possible sand ninja, there is a possibility that the Konoha side will be wiped out.
And just a renegade of special forbearance, in terms of efficiency, is really not worth more forbearance.
Therefore, the final list of task team members has become a combination of two upper ninjas and five lower ninjas. The mission level given by the clan is B-class, but considering the hidden danger, it is not an exaggeration to rate even A-class.
Fortunately, the reward for the task is A-level, and Cheng thought about it, and took out a few things that looked like identification from the scroll:
"This is the way for everyone to escape into the caravan after completing the mission......"
At this time, Du Feng, who had been quiet, coughed and interjected softly:
"Makoto, it's best to send this kind of thing after completing the mission, otherwise, it's easy to get involved in the hidden affairs of the whole team due to personal mistakes."
Makoto considered the possibility of the team being scattered after the mission, while Du Feng was worried that if someone was accidentally caught by the enemy, the enemy would likely bite other team members who had already been hidden.
Cheng frowned, nodded and admitted Du Feng's opinion, he glanced at the remaining five:
"Then, I will keep these things for the time being, and I will send them to you after I complete the task."
Both of Makoto's subordinates looked at him for him, while Qingxi and Rei nodded convincingly, while Boyan maintained a cold and arrogant look and remained silent.
"Well, everyone should have changed their clothes before, and before entering the territory of the Wind Country, check yourself again to see if there is anything that reveals your identity."
Ninja uniforms, forehead protection, these are the two most obvious, in addition, there are some unique costumes of the Konoha family, however, the Uchiha does not have this habit, after confirming with each other that the whole team has no conspicuous flaws that may be exposed, Makoto waved his hand, signaling the whole team to move on.
Beyond the cliffs, a sandy plain that looked golden in the sun, leaving a few rows of ant colony-like footprints, and the group soon disappeared into the depths of the wind and sand.

"Guest, please come in!"
The tall man in the red trench coat nodded, his clothes stained with an even layer of sand, proving that he had been in the dust along the way.
The boss looked up and smiled professionally, but the woman who came in with the thick curtain stiffened his smile.
Even among the thousands of people he had seen in the tavern, it was a stunning.
However, his professional ethics allowed him to recover quickly, and of course, it also had to do with the red man who came to him.
"Guest, what do you want, or do you plan to stay here?"
In the desert, most of the taverns are also inns, after all, even with the vastness of the sandy plains, there are still not many places to live.
"Some meals, add a pot of sake, we'll stay here for one night today, and we'll talk about the dinner in the evening."
"Okay, Erlang, go to the kitchen and urge - prepare the tea first, the guests must be very thirsty when they come from afar, please come here."
Makoto nodded, and was guided by the boss to an empty table.
"Kiyoko, sit down, let's go out for a walk after dinner."
The beautiful woman known as "Qingzi" sat down meekly, took the kettle in the boss's hand, and poured two cups quietly with her white palm, inferior tea and tea sets, but she deduced the essence of the tea ceremony in a quiet and elegant manner, if there is no tea ceremony cultivation for more than ten years, it is impossible to do.
For some reason, the boss seemed to be secretly relieved, and said to the two enthusiastically:
"Not long ago, a sandstorm swept through here, and that kind of scene can only be seen in the desert - the two guests are not from the Land of Wind, right?"
Chengluo smiled in the transformation, and did not refuse the boss's conversation:
"Yes, we are from the land of water, with a caravan of individuals, doing some small business."
"Caravan," the boss's eyes lit up, and his movements became more attentive: "From the country of water to do here, the business of the two of you can't be called a small business, and you must be able to make a lot of money, right?" ”
In the face of the boss's abrupt inquiry, Cheng smiled silently and made a gesture of a senior businessman.
The owner of the tavern did not look unhappy, and after wiping the table, he bowed and left, leaving the space to the guests themselves.
