Danny looked up and replied, "Stephen has managed to leave the temple, and the Timberwolf just sent back a video that you might be interested in." ”

Zhao Guoqing took the notebook and looked at it, and the video showed the scene of the three battles between Hattori Shoda and Oda Shin.

Because of the distance, the conversation between the two is not clear, but the entire battle picture is clearly filmed.

"I didn't expect the innkeeper to be a hidden master, but luckily he is not our enemy." Danny preached.

Isn't it an enemy?

Zhao Guoqing smiled secretly, from this video, he could already confirm that his guess was correct, Oda Shinzo was a Koga ninja.

At the same time, this video is very important to Zhao Guoqing, whether it is against Hattori Shoda or Oda Shinzo, he can have a defense, at least he has a preliminary understanding of the strength of the two.

"That purple-clothed ninja named Hattori Shoda is also very awesome, and he was able to draw with that uncle!" Wang Dahai exclaimed.

Wang Xiaohai followed and said: "Yes, he looks so young, he is really a genius among geniuses." ”

Zhao Guoqing didn't make any comments, returned the notebook to Danny and instructed, "Look where Stephen is now." After a slight pause, he continued, "Let the timberwolves not startle the snake, just follow Oda Shinzo." ”

"Yes." Danny replied, then asked with some hesitation, "What about the purple-clothed ninja?" What about the other dark mercenaries? ”

Zhao Guoqing replied: "Leave them alone for the time being, as long as we follow Stephen and Oda Shinzo, they will not lose it." ”

"Understood." Danny answered, working on his notebook, before saying, "That guy doesn't move. No, he must have thrown the communicator away, I'm going to activate the backup tracker now. ”

The backup tracker was secretly placed on Stephen by Zhao Guoqing, which was very secretive, and even Stephen himself didn't know it.

After escaping from the temple, Stephen ran wildly, but not in a panic, but with purpose.

After finding that no one was following him, Stephen stopped halfway, took out the communicator hidden in his ear, hesitated, and threw it into the ravine with a gritted tooth.

After a short break, Stephen began to run down the narrow mountain path to the top of the mountain, and did not stop until he reached the top.

At this time, Stephen was already sweating profusely and exhausted, but he did not rest, but looked around vigilantly.

After making sure that there was no one around, Stephen fumbled around his body, then spread the corners of his clothes, took out a white pill from it, and swallowed it with water.

Moments later, Stephen's stomach was "gurgling" and he plunged headlong into the grass.

"Whoa.." A sound came from the grass, and it was ten minutes before Stephen walked out of the grass with a collapsed face.

Stephen looked tired, but he was very excited, holding a small bottle in his right hand that was still a little warm.

This little bottle was just expelled from Stephen's body, and he didn't care about the dirt on it, so he just wiped it casually and unscrewed the lid and took out an ancient map from inside.

The texture of the map was exactly the same as the one he had shown Zhao Guoqing and the others before, and it was the missing other half of the map.

Stephen was secretly proud, who would have thought that he would hide the map inside his body?

After spreading out the map and comparing the scenery around him, Stephen smiled excitedly again.

That's right, this is it.

He was very close to the treasure that his grandfather had buried.

Following the prompts on the map, Stephen dragged his tired body on, carefully observing the trees and rocks around him from time to time.

After two laps within a radius of 100 meters, the excitement on Stephen's face slowly cooled, followed by a frown.

"Strange, why can't you find it?" Stephen muttered to himself.

Stephen returned to his previous starting point and continued on the map as prompted.

This time, Stephen looked more carefully, patiently distinguishing the shadows and objects around him, and finally stopped in front of a boulder.

"yes, it should be here." Stephen stared at the boulder in front of him and spoke.

According to the map, there should be a cave in front of you, but in front of you is a huge rock that cannot be moved by human beings.

Stephen looked up to make sure he was right, because there was a charred pine at the top of the boulder.

It's been decades, and there must have been a violent thunderstorm at some point.

Lightning struck the cliff pine overhead, and the rain caused a landslide, which caused the boulder to block the cave.

Stephen looked around again, and soon laughed.

The boulder did not completely seal off the cave, and there was still a gap in the middle, but it was not easy to find because it was buried by the void and overgrown with weeds.

Stephen quickly plucked the weeds and found clumsy tools to clear the void until a gap appeared between the boulder and the cave that could be passed sideways.

By this time it was almost dark, and Stephen lit a homemade torch and entered the cave.

After decades of lockdown, the cave was dark and damp, and the air was even more muddy, but Stephen didn't care about it, and walked cautiously along the way.

The cave is winding and winding, and there are many forks in the road, like a labyrinth.

If you don't have a map, it's easy to get lost in it.

Stephen followed the instructions on the map carefully, and I don't know how long it took, when suddenly a fresh breeze blew from the opposite side.

"Plop, plop." The torches danced.

This is it!

Stephen was more excited than before, and quickened his pace to move forward.

The further you go, the fresher the air becomes, and there is a faint scent of cherry blossoms.

After a few minutes, Stephen finally walked out of the cave, with a bright starry sky above him and a cherry blossom forest at his feet.

This is really another village, as if entering a fairyland on earth, and Stephen's whole person is like being baptized by the spring breeze, and the whole person has become energetic.

"The cherry blossom forest, it's the cherry blossom forest. That's right, this is it. Hehe... I finally found it, and the treasure is in this cherry blossom forest! Stephen exclaimed a little speechlessly, and the torch in his hand shook slightly with his excitement.

After taking a series of deep breaths, Stephen suppressed his excitement and took out the map and looked at it again.

If you don't have a map, you'll get lost in the cave you just had.

But in this cherry blossom forest, if you don't have a map, it's not just as simple as getting lost, and you'll die in the trap.

There are many sophisticated mechanisms set up in this cherry blossom forest, and even if you are a shinobi, if you make a mistake in entering the cherry blossom forest, you will die without a place to be buried.

Stephen was glad that he had the map that his grandfather had drawn himself, so he didn't have to worry about dying under the trap.

After walking through the cherry blossom forest for a few minutes with a map in hand, Stephen came across an old wooden house.

This wooden house was where his grandmother and grandfather lived, and Stephen suddenly felt a little feeling in his heart, thinking that one day he would simply move here to live in seclusion.

Besides, if the treasure left by my grandfather is really a peerless martial art about ninjutsu, it would be a good choice to meditate and cultivate here.

The experience of being hunted down and killed for several days made Stephen understand a truth, if he didn't have strength, even if he found the treasure, he would be taken away by powerful people.

Instead of this, it is better to learn the martial arts left by my grandfather here, so that I have enough strength to go out again.

When the time comes...

Stephen smiled grimly, he had to make everyone who wanted to kill him regret it!

With his mind in mind, Stephen continued to follow the map and soon found a large cherry blossom tree.

It was the first time Stephen had seen such a big cherry blossom tree, and he was impressed by its momentum at first sight, and instinctively gave it a name in his heart. Sakura King.

The Sakura King, the treasure is buried under this Sakura King!

Ha ha.. I finally found it!

Stephen lunged up and found the secret mark on the Sakura King, and dug up underneath.

After more than ten minutes, Stephen felt that he had touched a hard object, and quickly peeled off the floating soil on it to see a tin box of biscuits produced in France in the last century.

Treasure, treasure!

Stephen was so excited that he almost didn't scream out loud, thinking that this tin box containing biscuits must have been brought by his grandfather when he returned from France, and that martial arts secrets or other treasures must be contained in this tin box.

What other treasures will surprise me besides the secret tips?

Stephen thought it would be better to have a priceless artifact, so that he could learn advanced ninjutsu without having to worry about money in the future.

Taking out the rusty tin box, Stephen carefully wiped off the floating dirt on it, and just as he wanted to open it, he felt a strong wind hit behind him.

Worst!

As soon as Stephen's mind came to him, he felt a strong slap on the back, and then the man flew out.

With a "bang", Stephen fell to the ground hard, his eyes were full of stars, his mouth was spitting blood, and the biscuit box in his hand also fell out.

Staring at the box of biscuits that had fallen more than a dozen meters away, Stephen struggled to get it, but felt like a fire in his body, as if all the bones had broken and pierced his internal organs.

Just then, Stephen saw a man dressed in purple walk up and pick up the cookie box in a hurry.

"It's you!" Stephen exclaimed, recognizing that it was Hattori Masada, who had sneaked up on him, and he had chased him all the way here.

Careless, really careless!

Stephen secretly blamed himself for not noticing that he was being followed, but he didn't know that even if he was ten times more careful, he would not be able to spot Hattori Masada, who was following behind.

This is the difference in strength!
