Chapter 130: Deception

It is impossible for the speed of civilians to surpass that of the White Fang Commando, even if Qimu Shuomao deliberately let go of the residents of the Wind Country who have become "poor" to report to the Sand Ninja, but at this time, the White Fang Commando still rushed to the second target before the Sand Ninja received the news and took action-

A desert oasis where nearly 10,000 people live!!

The scientific and technological power of the entire ninja world is abnormally distorted, and while it has a strange short-distance intercom communication, it has not had the ability to communicate long distances for many years. One of the important reasons for this is that only any kind of forbearance can easily destroy the signal base station necessary for long-range communication. After being repeatedly destroyed several times, it naturally caused the short-distance and long-distance technological fault-like differentiation and use of the ninja world!

Therefore, the news of the invasion within the Wind Nation has obviously not yet reached this still leisurely oasis town.

Hinata lurked in the shadow of the dunes with his yellow cloak, and he observed this large oasis with his own eyes for several hours, and did not find that the sand shinobi was deliberately guarded and guarded. And a rough count shows that there are at least 10,000 people living here, including at least 100 people with the body of the obvious ninja chakra.

The White Fang Commando led by Hachiki Sakushige, even if you add himself, there are only 29 people. Although it is the elite of the elite, if you want to attack and destroy such a huge gathering of thousands of people, you can only wait for the silent breakthrough in the night. Otherwise, the scattered street battles will cause you to suffer huge losses!

The night is always the backdrop for the birth of intrigues...

The blazing sun sets, and the desert dwellers who returned late are returning one after another with their day's harvest. Although the desert country is not conducive to growing crops, it also has its own economy.

The little land reclaimed in the oasis area produces enough food to feed the entire population. So most civilians would avoid the heat of the afternoon and go out in search of resources and wealth. It wasn't until the evening that he returned to the village and gradually turned the contents of the baskets into food and resources that could survive.

To escape the heat and drought, most mammals and reptiles also come out after dusk to forage for food. Even some large reptiles and large rodents will only come out at night with green eyes. But for the ninja world, the original inhabitants whose physical fitness far exceeds that of the earthlings, they are all meat...

In addition to food, the most sought out by the outgoing residents is the ore in the desert. Most of the Gobi areas exposed outside the sand are protruding areas of deep rock formations. It's a pity that the world doesn't make much use of oil, otherwise the country of the wind...

The Land of the Wind is also the place where the most minerals are unearthed outside of the earth. In addition to minerals, if you are lucky, you can even dig up diamonds, bloodstones and other famous and rare gems that can get rich overnight!

"Why did you come back so late?" The guard on duty asked the villagers who had returned late.

"Bad luck, we came back with a sandstorm and were delayed for a few hours while hiding... But luckily, the thing wasn't scraped away by the sandstorm! He finished complaining, and then shook his back basket and spilled a lot of sand. Inside, there are a lot of living creatures pierced by needles...

The guards were the soldiers of the daimyo in the towns and cities, and in addition to maintaining law and order and vigilance, they also had the right to collect taxes and fines. Well, a role similar to that of the city manager, everything is in charge!!

The three weary villagers handed over their goods to the guards on duty to count, and they would extract a certain amount of them to maintain the construction and protection of the oasis.

This may seem like a primitive way of social survival, but it is a must for the inhabitants of the Land of Wind, who depend on the oasis for their survival. The desert country does not have rich land resources, and the limited oases, if not controlled and expanded, will inevitably cause chaos and plunder among more and more people.

When the limited resources were too much to satisfy the overflowing population, the war of territorial expansion by force, under the pretext of "increasing the privilege of fairness", began. Just like two villages fighting for water and fertile land, that has been a plot for thousands of years.

Moreover, almost every time a war is triggered, it is the ninja village with unbalanced resources!

"A total of seventy-three catties of rough ore, you can go back to the village after paying twenty percent of the tax..."

"Isn't it only 10%*, why has it gone up again?" The villagers outside the town gates began to theorize angrily.

"We are at a critical moment in the war with the Fire Country, and the enemy has already broken into the interior of the country, so of course it is normal to raise taxes!"

The guards on duty also shouted loudly at the name of the village, which instantly attracted the attention of the other guards. The temperature drops to more than 10 degrees at night, and it is very heartwarming to watch it a little lively!

"Why didn't I see any sign of the enemy?"

"Hmph, you, you're dead when you see it—"

The villagers and guards argued in the light of the campfire in front of the town gate until, until someone began to urge impatiently.

"Have you discussed it, hurry up in the evening...!"

In the fortress building with earthen walls and sheltered from the wind, Sha Shinobi, who had been observing for a long time, finally became impatient. During the war, in order to strengthen the defense of important towns, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and the three generations of Kazekage also signed a mission agreement. Among the guards on duty, some sand ninjas were installed to protect the safety of the town.

"Okay, okay, come in with me...", the guard, who finished speaking, stiffly walked back with a few village names.

The guard guarding the door looked at the other party's grinding figure, and finally announced that the door of part of the sand building was opened.

"Whew-"

"Doesn't seem right?"

"What's wrong?"

"Why is that guy Matsumoto talking so well today?"

"It's not those ninja lords urging you, it's not convenient to get some oil and water!"

The guard, known as Matsumoto, led the three villagers into the town gate, and then he continued towards the castle. There were 3 sand ninjas in the squad, one was the sand ninja who had just urged, and the other two were taking turns resting and sleeping in the long night.

"Ninja-sama, those villagers just found something good!"

"Something, put it on the table."

The sand ninja who has been trained from the mission is habitually wary of anyone who tries to contact him even when he is not in a combat state. He looked at the guard in front of him vigilantly, and after repeatedly perceiving it, he found that the other party had not lowered his guard through the transformation technique.

A gem, a real alexandrite...

It was beautiful enough to attract Sha Shinobi's gaze from the original vigilant observation to the light of the gem on the table, and it didn't move away!

Sha Ren hurriedly glanced at his companions who had not moved on both sides, and he quickly put it away and pinched it hard, but it was not broken. Confirming that this was a gem with extremely high hardness, he immediately kicked it, and then immediately asked the guard in front of him:

"Say, what's the purpose!"

"To the ninja adults and villains, that dare and purpose! I just have a distant nephew who has always wanted to be a noble ninja but didn't have a chance... So I'd like you to take a look! ”

Sand Ninja Village has always been due to a lack of resources, and it has been a strategy close to the elite ninjas of Konoha that has even been reduced by the daimyo in the later period. At this point, it wasn't to the point of being carefully selected in the future, but the qualifications for becoming a ninja were very high.

And Matsumoto, who can be a guard at the gate of the town, is by no means greedy for oil and water. At this time, it seems that he wants to gradually elevate his small family to a family with ninjas, so that at least he will be less exploited by the upper echelons.

"Even! Then you can bring it to me if you have time. ”

"Okay, he's been waiting outside for a long time... I'll let him in! Immediately, the Matsumoto guard quickly turned around and stuck his head out of the door and called out to his distant nephew-

"Hiza, come in!"

The voice was not loud, but it was still blatant to reassure the ninja in front of him. If the other party sneaks around in this cold night, it will attract the vigilance in Sha Ren's heart at this time.

"A name that starts with a Japanese character? It seems rare! He looked at the guard, who was eagerly prepared, as if he was afraid that he would turn back and regret it. The other party doesn't know, whether there is a ninja qualification or not, it's not up to him, a ninja?

However, in this war-torn era, if you can really recommend a few qualified ninja students to the village... It's also good.

"Gurga!"

The cover-ups opened from the outside, and the nephew of the Matsumoto guard reluctantly entered the castle.

He wrapped a-yellow turban around his hair. At this time, wearing the old windproof robes that the desert people are used to wearing, it seems that at first glance, it seems that because of the long body when I was a child, my parents deliberately made it bigger. Then the boy walked in with his head bowed and resigned, as if he was shy...

Sha Ren still carefully checked it, and there was no case of using the transformation technique. He then let down his guard, and then said to the timid boy:

"Raise your head and let me see!"

"Hmm-"
