Chapter 15: New Tasks

When Yuzo happily spent these two days of vacation, he received a notice from Miyo that he had a task assigned to him. didn't think much about it, he followed the dark department sent by the three generations to the front of the three generations and waited for him to explain the task assigned to him.

"This mission requires you to go to the territory of the Land of the Wind alone to investigate one thing, where is the territory of the Sand Shinobi, be cautious." The third generation took out a scroll: "The detailed information content and requirements are all in the scroll, you can see for yourself, and set off immediately!"

Yuzo stepped forward to take the scroll and replied respectfully, "Yes!"

After Yuzo left, the third generation looked down at the surveillance information about him in the past two days in his hand, and was silent. The main purpose of giving Yuzang such a task is to separate him from his teammates first, so as not to intensify the conflict.

Hopefully this will do some good.

On the other side, Yuzo opened the scroll.

The specific content of the mission is like this, and the day of jointly holding the middle ninja exam with the Sand Ninja Village is getting closer and closer, and frequent contacts between the two forces have begun. This is a very routine task, that is, to go to the country of the wind to investigate intelligence, whether it is about people's livelihood or military, any information worth recording is within the scope of the investigation. The scroll contains some information about the Sand Ninja, as well as the location of several Konoha hidden strongholds in the country of the wind, and so on.

In short, if you are careful about this task, it is like a publicly-funded tour, because he can still take the scroll to the financial department to get some funds.

……

In the territory of the Land of Wind, this is the closest town to the village of Sand Ninja. Because most of the country is desert Gobi, extremely barren, and every settlement needs to be near a water source, this place is actually quite far from the ninja village.

Despite the distance, it is the only transit point in and out of the village, and this is true for all ordinary people. If it's a ninja, it's not a problem to rely on chakra cooling and other means to bring enough water to cross the largest desert in the Land of Winds. This is also the reason why the village of Sanobu was not established on the little bit of rich land that is rare in this country. Anyway, most of the resource consumption can be taken from the daimyo, and it doesn't matter if the land is barren. This is also the reason why once the daimyo does not support it, the Sand Ninja Village will be very uncomfortable and financially unsustainable. In comparison, even if Konoha loses the support of the Daimyo, there will not be much problem in continuing to hold on for a while.

Because of the scarcity of resources, the sand ninja always buys a large amount of grain, iron and other resources, and this transit station into the sand ninja village is also very busy, creating a rare prosperity scene in the country of the wind.

Yuzo stayed in this town, stayed in a hotel, and walked around the streets every day to see the customs of the country of wind. He didn't even have any disguise, just wore ordinary black clothes and hid his forehead. But the sun here was so strong that it made him irritable. Because of this, these days he likes to sit and drink tea in a tea shed near the exit of this town to Sand Ninja Village.

To be honest, the taste of the tea is average, but the environment is not good in the first place, and there is nothing to complain about.

At one point, though, he saw a familiar figure. The man was probably older than Yuzo, with purple paint painted on his face, a sand shinobi's forehead guard, and a bandage about the height of his body on his back. Naturally, this person had never met him once, but this familiar outfit and age made Yuzang roughly determine his identity.

The sand ninja puppeteer, Kankuro, one of the three children of the four generations of Kazekage. It seems that the puppeteers of the sand shinobi have a habit of painting all kinds of purple oil paint on their faces, and Yuzo thinks that this is actually very ugly.

Kankuro walked unhurriedly, he was in a good mood. This mission allowed him to finally stay away from his brother with dark circles, but he had to go back after the mission was completed, and it would be nice if he could stay a few more days. I don't know if there are any problems during this time, I hope my sister can comfort him.

After taking a sip of water and moistening his lips, Kankuro left the town and hurried towards his village, not noticing that there was an extra small tail behind him.

Yuzo had nothing to do at this time, and when he saw Kankuro, he immediately decided to follow. Anyway, it's all about gathering intelligence, and it should be more useful to collect information about ninjas. And the puppeteer, this kind of thing can probably be good for developing parasitic lines for yourself, right? It looks like this guy wants to go back to the village, but he can't follow him to the village, right? Do you want to intercept him halfway?

He had already put on his mask, and he followed Kanjiuro from a distance and hesitated a little.

It shouldn't be much of a problem to deal with him with his own strength, but it's important to note that during the time they have been with Kankuro, they have already entered the range of Sand Ninja Village, and it's really not a good choice to do it. And Kan Jiurou is not a nameless trick, and it is unlikely that he can force the puppeteer to be asked. In that case, it's better to lurk nearby and wait for another puppeteer to appear...

And so on, for several days.

The topography of this place in Sand Ninja Village was probably created by the ninjas, and the gate is a long and narrow passage, and the rock wall that makes up such a passage is more than ten meters high. Except for the entrance and exit of the village, which has such a narrow passage, the rest of the place is surrounded by rock walls, and it seems to be very well defended. Yuzo has been walking around this village these days, and he doesn't see any other gaps in this flat wall, and he doesn't know where these guys from Sand Shinobi opened the other exit? Is it underground?

It seems that puppeteers are indeed a rare existence, and these days Yuzo, who is hidden at the gate of the Sand Ninja, has seen many ninjas who have walked out of the village, but he has not seen a guy with the same characteristics as Kankuro appear.

He wasn't worried about being discovered, who would have thought that there would be a daring guy planning to capture a puppeteer right at his doorstep, one of the five major ninja villages? The perceptual enchantment that anticipates the enemy's attack is not the perception that the ninja can move, because the area of resource consumption is a little around the village. And Yuzo is stuck at this point, he is outside the scope of this point.

Finally, on the seventh day, he saw the puppeteer he wanted appear.

The puppeteer, who was an adult and looked to be in his twenties, followed two other teammates out of the village and hurried away. I don't know what task they have to perform, so they run wild along the way, and there is no time to rest at all, so that Yuzo has no chance to do it.

If there are three people, it is very dangerous not to sneak attack the frontal toughness, and Yuzang is not a guy who is blindly confident in his own strength and knows how to rush up. That kind of person is either the protagonist or the fastest to die.

It wasn't until they left the Land of the Wind and entered the territory of the Land of Kawa that they stopped to rest. There may be many people who don't know what kind of country Kawanokuni is and where is it?

This country is a small country with a very good natural environment, sandwiched between the country of wind and the country of fire, and it is a buffer zone between the two great powers, and the first war that was extracted from this country took place. For the barren country of wind, the country of the river is simply a sight to behold, but the country of fire will not allow them to take this small country, and there have been many disputes and armed conflicts in history.

It was in an open space that they stopped to rest.

The puppeteer took down the puppet behind him and put it in his hand, and the other two teammates were also vigilant, ready to fight the enemy at any time, even if they were resting.

It's just that they won't know what kind of enemy they will face this time.

Amazo began to lay out his own line around.

He didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with him going to such a place to do his own thing during his mission. Anyway, it's just a dispensable task for three generations to send themselves, just get a little information and hand it in. As long as you do it thoroughly, no one will know what you're doing.
