Between the lines, the night eyes whispered to Qian:

"Obviously they need our help, but they say it as if we're dragging our feet."

"It was meant to be, Yame!"

Qian smiled helplessly,

"Daimaru and I have been shinobi for several years, and you are no longer a newcomer this year. If we hadn't dragged our feet, we wouldn't be on the same squad. ”

The team of three losers, and Daimaru is a little ambitious, whether he admits it or not, Daimaru is the strongest of the three.

"Let's try again, Yame, Daimaru is not a kind person, but he shouldn't abandon us casually."

"Is that so?"

"So, you have to work hard, you can't keep up with his footsteps, and you can't blame anyone for being left behind!"

The competition in the Sand Hidden Village is too fierce, and the limited resources can only prioritize the better ninjas who are more talented and perform better, and some of the mediocre talents who have in fact been abandoned have either died or quit the ranks of ninjas after struggling for a few years.

Konoha Village's so-called strict three-choice yield rate is too luxurious for Shayin Village.

……

The Land of the Wind is vast, but the ninja's footsteps are fast, and it only takes about three days to run from Sand Hidden Village to Konoha Village.

Of course, this is the limit speed that Maitkai has no rest on, and ordinary ninjas are nowhere near that fast.

Otokaze took Daimaru and Chiwa Yame with him, and it took him five days to barely reach the border of the Land of Wind.

According to rough estimates, the speed of the Soundwind Squad is less than one-third of Maitkai's, and the speed of the ultra-long gallop may not be a quarter of Maitkai's when it comes to physical exertion, which is quite a big difference.

"That's not going to work!"

Daimaru was anxious in his heart, and his basic qualities were too far behind.

Qian's physical strength is average, and his speed is average, but he needs to rest for too long; Nightme's physical strength is acceptable, but his short legs limit his speed.

Daimaru could barely keep up with the sound of the wind, but when he reached a small town not far from the border of the Land of Wind, he was too tired to walk.

As a last resort, several people stayed in the hotel for one night to eliminate their physical fatigue before they officially began to prepare to eliminate the thieves.

……

The four of them left the town early in the morning, and shortly after, they changed their faces and sneaked back.

Otokaze disguised as an old grandfather, with Daimaru disguised as his grandson and his two granddaughters, Sayyoyame.

"I feel like I'm being taken advantage of!"

Taking off his ninja costume and dressing up as a child of a merchant in the country of grass, Daimaru pulled the ugly linen clothes on his body with some dissatisfaction.

Qian is the appearance of a civilian peasant girl, but her face is completely calm and inconsistent with her identity.

The old man of the sound style is not good in disguise, he is old, and he is still so energetic.

It seems that the camouflage and hidden schoolwork in Sand Hidden Village are not very well learned.

It's Yame's little granddaughter who doesn't look at it at all disobedient, it's small, and she looks childish, not like a ninja at all.

"Be quiet, Daimaru, the hem of your sleeves is about to be torn."

The sound wind reminded in a low voice.

"I'm also helpless, this dress is too uncomfortable to wear."

The sun in the desert of the Land of Winds is so scorching that exposed skin will definitely get sunburned for a long time.

That's why people here are generally dressed in tightly covered clothes.

The costumes of the civilians of the Grass Country are completely bad in the Wind Country, and after a while, Daimaru's exposed arms are already a little red and a little itchy.

The sun in early spring is so strong, and at noon in the hot summer, if you wear it like this, you will definitely have something wrong.

"You can collect intelligence in the town, why do you want to do this in one fell swoop?"

"You guys, you have too little experience!"

Tone shook his head,

"Don't you think it's strange when you look at this town?"

"Strange what? Except for a little depression and a little mess, it's nothing special, right? It's a bit wary of strangers, but it's not a big deal! ”

The four men walked down the street almost indistinguishable from before, pretending to be interested, and looked at the footmen who were peddling goods on the street.

"The uncle who set up the stall just now, did you see it? That guy is probably the robber who sold the stolen goods. ”

"No......"

The three shinobi obviously didn't believe it.

"Stupid, don't look back, it's too attention-grabbing......"

The sound wind stopped the idea of the subordinates to find out,

"You ninjas, basically haven't been out of the country of the wind, and probably rarely come to the border land, some of them are tired, and it's impossible to understand them without experiencing them once!"

Yin Feng took three subordinates down to a remote tea house and found a corner where there were few people to sit down.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this, Yin Feng whispered:

"This town is likely to be one of the strongholds of the bandits!"

"Isn't it?"

Daimaru was shocked,

"Are we already in a den of thieves?"

"It's not that exaggerated, it's not dangerous for the time being!"

"That's why you pretended to leave, and then secretly turned back, waiting for an opportunity to eliminate the thieves?"

"It's not!"

Otokaze denied Daimaru's judgment,

"Many of the people in the town are family members of bands of thieves, or ordinary people who are about to become thieves. The border land is not the same as the inland......"

As for the inside story, Yin Feng told the three subordinates.

Relations between the Land of Wind and the Land of Grass are not very good, and some buffer zones have been born on the border between the two countries, which are not very manageable on either side.

Most of these places have changed with seasonal rivers and oases, such as the town where the four of them lived, which was completely abandoned for a while, until a few years ago when passing merchants traded here and came back to life.

Such a gray area is the soil that can easily breed robbers and horse thieves, and after a long time, there will definitely be bandit groups in the vicinity to rob homes and houses.

Most of the people living in these gray areas are civilians who can't survive in the Land of Grass and Wind, and occasionally some wandering ninjas and down-and-out samurai pass by.

The environment here is so harsh, and survival is so difficult, when the wind blows, the civilians who survive will inevitably have no livelihood, and they will either become displaced people and leave, or they will fall into the grass and make a living by robbing the merchants of the Land of Wind and the Land of Grass.

"Our mission is to eliminate the thieves who are causing the trouble, and as for the inextricable links with the thieves here, what do you think? Is it to lure the snake out of the hole and find out that the thieves have eliminated it, or to follow the vine and wipe out all the people behind the scenes? ”

Daimaru thought for a moment and said:

"Captain, is this also a test of the mission?"

"You can think so!"

Tone Wind nodded,

"How far we want to do it is actually in our thoughts. Few of the people in this town are innocent, even if it is a baby waiting to be fed, the money to feed them may have been robbed by their elders as robbers.

When they grow up, they basically have nowhere to make a living, and most of them will become the second generation of robbers! ”
