The last two days of the trip were spent in the desert of the Land of Winds.

This desert tam is not the first time to see it, he and Kakashi have fought three bosses in this bloody battle before, but it is the first time to follow the large army and walk with the business travelers along the way. Desert-style towns, caravans with sand bells, merchants dressed in windproof sand, and people living and walking on this desert bring a different kind of life to this place that should be dead and silent.

With the mentality of traveling, after entering the Land of Winds, Tamu did not feel bored, and he could watch the sand dunes shining in the sun for a day.

Finally, after two days of walking through the desert, Konoha's reference mission arrived at its destination, Sand Hidden Village.

The last time Tamu came to the Land of the Wind, he went to the capital where the daimyo lived, not Shinobi Village. The place where the national capital is located is not a desert, but one of the largest oases in the country of winds, and a well-deserved economic and cultural center. The scenery there is not only not the desolation of the desert city, but the abundance of water and grass, quite a bit of the prosperity of the leaves.

And this time, Tamu met the station of Sand Hidden Village. The whole of Sand Hidden Village looks like an abandoned castle isolated in the vast desert, erected in the middle of the desert, facing the endless wind and sand. The outer perimeter of the village is a tall wall made of thick and high sandstone, which is not as delicate as the masonry exterior wall of Konoha, but has a different kind of rugged beauty. For many years, it was this wall that not only blocked foreign enemies, but also blocked the endless wind and sand invasion of the desert.

Entering the Sand Hidden Village, the buildings that Tamu saw were also in the shape of earth, but they were sturdy and practical, quite in the style of the desert ninja village.

And after Konoha's mission entered the sand hide, it was quickly received by the sand hide. The ninjas who took the exam were asked to register at the reception hall in the sand as soon as possible.

The ninjas of the sand are very efficient, and after checking their identities one by one, they are allowed to move freely. Dozens of shinobi quickly passed the identity authentication until they were audited by Tamu.

The ninja in charge of the reception held a Konoha Shinobi ID card, saw the photo of a toad on it, and then looked up at the black-skinned toad in front of him, which was more than two meters high, and asked the person in charge of Konoha with some hesitation: "Are you sure, this toad is also the lower ninja who took the exam this time?" ”

"That's right! Tamu's shinobi identity is officially certified by Konoha . The leader of Konoha said seriously: "His leader Shinobi is Kakashi who writes wheels!" ”

"Okay..."Seeing that the other party looked serious, the reception ninja still silently stamped it.

Soon, all the ninjas, including Tamu, passed the identity verification and were taken into the post house prepared by the reception staff, allowing them to move freely and rest.

On the other side, the ninja in charge of reviewing Tam was chatting with his colleagues and superiors, "You know what? When I was in charge of registering the Konoha Mission today, I ran into a strange candidate! ”

"How weird?" A colleague asked.

"Hahaha... Among the lower ninjas who took the exam in Konoha this year, there was a toad named Tamu! ”

"Wait...," the boss's face suddenly became serious, "You said there was a toad named Tam this time?" Is it more than two meters tall and has a smooth black skin? At the same time, the eyes of several colleagues also became strange.

"yes... What's wrong? The reception ninja suddenly felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and asked with some trepidation.

A good colleague patted him on the shoulder: "I told you to read the newspaper more often... Addicted to gambling, the legacy is not shallow! ”

The boss's face was even more uncomfortable, and he turned around and left: "This matter has to be reported to the Wind Shadow Office!" Only the ninja was left looking at everyone with a confused expression, not knowing what he had said wrong.

Kazekage's office.

"What? In Konoha this time, is there that Tamu in the lower ninja that participates in this competition? The fourth generation of Wind Shadow Luo Sha frowned slightly, and suddenly realized that this matter was not simple.

"Yes. He also has the identity of the lower ninja officially certified by Konoha . Makey, the captain of the Wind Shadow Guardians, said.

"Konoha what is this trying to do? Put a master who can fight the Red Sand Scorpion head-on into the lower ninja team? Luo Sha still didn't figure it out. Thanks to the previous report, Tamu is actually very famous in Sand Hidden Village, because he has taken on the name of the Red Sand Scorpion. The name of the scorpion can almost be said to be a shadow of the ninja of Sand Hidden Village.

Ma Ji thought about it and gave an answer that he didn't believe at all: "The other party has no intention of hiding his identity and acting secretly, and besides, at this time, Konoha and our Sand Hide are strategic allies." Possible... Did he really come to take the exam to ascend to the middle of the ninja? ”

Luo Sha was a little depressed: "Let the shadow-level master come to take the lower ninja exam, is this to bully people?" ”

"No matter what, send people to closely monitor the Konoha Mission's every move!"

"Yes!" Markey was given the order and silently stepped back to arrange for people to spy on Tam.

......................................................

A few days later, the Shinobi exam in Sand Hidden Village had already begun, and at this time, there was a knock at the door of the Hokage's office.

"What's the matter?" The third generation was reviewing a large pile of documents, put down the pen in his hand, and asked.

"Hokage-sama! The patriarch of the Hyuga family asks for a meeting outside the door and says that there is something important that must be discussed with you alone. ”

Hinata Hinata? The three generations are a little strange, except for the last time Tam, the Hyuga family actually rarely deals with the Hokage's office. Konoha recognizes and maintains the status of its wealthy family, and the corresponding Hyuga family will not interfere in government affairs, which is a potential tacit understanding and unwritten rule.

"Let him in!" The three generations packed up the papers on the table and prepared to meet the Hyuga patriarch.

Hinata Hinata walked into the office, closed the door, and asked with some eagerness, "Hokage-sama, I heard that you attacked the core members of the root a few days ago?" "This incident is a top-secret operation of the Dark Ministry, and even the Hyuga patriarch has not received news until now.

"yes, what's the problem?" The three generations are even more strange, what is Hinata Hinata doing with this.

Hizoku said, "I'm here this time, mainly for the roots of the mountain owl. ”

"Mountain owls? He's dead, what did you mention him for? The minds of the three generations remembered this mysterious Root No. 2 who had been blindfolded all the time.

"We Hyuga need to retrieve his body."

"Why?" The three generations are even more confused.

Hinata Hinata looked at the three generations with strange eyes: "This matter, although it was a secret before, only Tuan Zang and our Hinata high-level know about it. But since the dark department has obtained the corpse of the mountain owl, the three generations of adults should not pretend to be confused with me, right? ”

"Mountain owl, he is a member of the Hyuga family with pure blood. Because Tuan Zang found a way to crack his [Caged Bird] curse mark, and after the compromise between our clan and the roots, he completely betrayed the family and became Tuan Zang's right-hand man. ”

"Now that Tuan Zang and he are dead, our Hyuga family must not allow such a pair of white eyes that are not bound by the [Caged Bird] to wander outside!"

"What!?" The three generations were shocked, not because of the secret story told by Hinata Hinata , but because he had read the autopsy report of the mountain owl: although the DNA and everything matched the records of the roots, but the corpse was not the white eyes of the Hyuga family at all!
