City of Hope

The buildings have been constructed, and the neat streets and scattered pedestrians all look extremely orderly.

In just two years, the original small oasis had completely disappeared, replaced by a dreamlike and magnificent city-state.

The quaint and sturdy city walls look endless at a glance, and a huge stone statue on the city tower is as majestic as a sleeping guardian, and the buildings that rise from the ground give people a majestic atmosphere.

When they first arrived, everyone watched all this in amazement, and it was hard to believe that there could be such a glorious ancient city in such a barren land.

"Are you sure this is a village that hasn't been around for long....... Polis? Mizuki asked, sweeping the barren surroundings and pointing to the gate.

The man touched his head a little embarrassedly, and said uncertainly: "Should ........ I guess I heard it from other people. ”

Kakashi exclaimed, "It's hard to imagine that someone would spend so much effort to build a city and settle in such a place." ”

Kurokawa pursed his lips impatiently, and took the lead towards the city gate: "Okay, let's go in quickly, take a break and catch Orochimaru back as soon as possible, that guy is not a small character, who knows if he will notice us in advance." ”

"People in front, stop, who are you? What is the purpose of coming to the City of Hope? ”

A roar came, and a man on the city gate roared and waved his hand behind him, and soon, the city gate opened, and a neatly equipped figure hurriedly came out of it, blocking in front of everyone with a vigilant face.

Kakashi took a few steps forward, "Guys, we don't have any ill intentions, we're passing through here, because of the shortage of water and supplies, we just want to get ready to go in and rest and replenish some." ”

The man looked everyone up and down a few times: "It's not that we are deliberately embarrassed, but you ........ Can you tell me who you are? ”

"This ..........." Hearing the man's words, Kakashi frowned, a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, the man quickly waved his hand behind him, and a ninja immediately realized and hurried towards the city.

Looking at the other party's outfit, it was obviously a ninja army, less than two years after the establishment of the state, it was the first time for the man to fight like this, and for a while, he couldn't pay attention to it, and he didn't dare to let the other party into the city at will.

After all, this place belongs to the Land of Wind, and as a half-core figure, he knows very well that the Land of Wind will not let them do whatever they want here.

In case the other party is a raiding force from the Land of Wind, it will be troublesome, wouldn't it be a wolf to enter the house if you put it in at will?

Seeing the man's movements, Kakashi and the others stepped back a little wisely, standing in place and silent, waiting for the other party's reply.

in the main hall

Zhishui knelt on the side, also waiting for the decision of Suzuki and the others.

In the conference room of the side hall, Ling Yue and Zhinian were discussing the arrangements for stopping the water.

"Miss Suzuki, this is all Uchiha Shisui's one-sided words, Konoha did pass on the Uchiha Shisui betrayal village, but he never said what he defected for, if he really assassinated the Hokage, with Uchiha Suke's personality, can he be given a chance to kill himself?"

"And、Don't forget that Uchiha Suke has a very high reputation in Konoha, and no one in the entire Uchiha is not convinced of him, they belong to the same clan, and Shisui will really assassinate Uchiha Suke because of Danzo?"

"Besides, Orochimaru is not a good thing, it is difficult for people to guess that it is not out of some kind of conspiracy to save him, besides, he has been with Orochimaru for so long, and he is probably not a good person, I think it is better to let him go back."

Suzuki frowned and fell into deep thought, although Zhinian's words were correct, but the person who stopped the water gave her the feeling that she was not the kind of guy who was cunning and secretive. Beautiful book bar

Although she had only been in contact with each other twice, the other party's tenacity and fearlessness and yearning for peace left a deep impression on her.

Judging by her years of experience, Uchiha Shisui should be the kind of righteous, bright and compassionate person of clear light, not a ruthless and cunning evil person.

But Zhinian's words are very reasonable, coupled with the unpredictable people's hearts and the mask is not easy to reveal, she does not dare to advocate for the inclusion of water in the group.

After being silent for a while, Yuzuru couldn't help but speak, "What is Miss Suzuki worried about?" To be honest, we are very short of people right now, especially high-level ninjas. ”

"Most of those guys who wander here are fugitives with bad character, and they are not qualified to join us at all, although there are a lot of loopholes in this Uchiha Shisui, I think he should be given a chance." 、

Suzuki was surprised: "Why did Mr. Yuzuru say that?" ”

"Because we don't have a choice, Orochimaru is a very dangerous person, and now he cares about us, but there is no guarantee that he will in the future."

"We've already rejected that guy's request, and if we refuse the other person's request again, I'm afraid he'll force it."

"Once that's the case, whatever the outcome will be, it's a very bad situation for us."

"That guy is worried that he will attract Konoha's attention, in fact, we are even more worried that the two tigers will fight for one and one will be injured, and the current situation will most likely be a lose-lose situation, and even ruin the situation that we have built up with great difficulty."

"After all, we are dead, that guy is alive, in case it attracts the attention of someone with a heart, he will turn around and continue to escape, but we have nowhere to escape."

After hearing this, Suzuki turned her head to look at Zhinian: "What does Mr. Zhinian mean?" ”

After a little contemplation, he was about to answer, when suddenly, a figure hurriedly broke in.

"Lord Yuening, a group of ninjas came from outside the city, saying that they want to enter the city to rest for a while."

Ling Yue's face was grim: "There are a lot of them? ”

The man nodded: "The preliminary estimate is that there are about three hundred people, all of whom are armed with blades, and they look like special forces of some big country." ”

Hearing this, several people looked at each other and stared.

After thinking about it, Yuzuru got up, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Zhinian interjected: "Wait, bring the Uchiha Shisui with you, that guy is a Konoha shadow, and he should know very well about the special forces of various countries." ”

"I see." Yuzuru hurried out of the hall.

After Yuzuru left, Suzuki sighed lightly, with a distressed face: "It's troublesome, there are big country ninjas in this kind of place, how can you think about it, you say, are we already exposed?" ”

Zhinian shook his head decisively: "Impossible, in order to hide our identity, we have never shown our true faces in the past two years, and even changed our names for this reason, it is impossible to be exposed, maybe they are really just passing by here and want to take a break." ”

"Passing by!" The two of them moved in their hearts and said at the same time: "Orochimaru! ”

"This is the only possibility, from here to the east, apart from Orochimaru, the most wanted criminal in Konoha, I really can't think of anything else worthy of so many ninjas."

The two of them, who were familiar with Orochimaru's base, instantly guessed the purpose of these people coming here.
