"So, I came to you two today to ask you to help me look into this matter. Ding Ji won't talk about it, but Shikamaru you've always been very smart, haven't you, and after the middle ninja exam, only you have successfully promoted to the middle ninja..."

"Okay, I know..."Shikamaru's brows furrowed, to be honest, this was really a trouble, ten million times more troublesome than the trivial things he usually tried to avoid, but he had no reason to refuse, whether it was Ino's expectations or his own thoughts.

Shikamaru asked his father about this before, and the answer was three simple words.

I don't know!

As the leader of the Konoha intelligence department, at least the number one on the surface, there are very few things that his father doesn't know, and this is obviously involved at a higher level.

"Let's not talk about this for now, Ding Ci, you can order." Ino didn't mean to continue, Shikamaru would definitely find a way, just know this.

Watching Ding Ji quickly tick the menu, Shikamaru suddenly said: "We may be able to find Naruto together, to be honest, there is no way to change the fact that Yuzo is already a traitor, and more importantly, maybe find a way to contact him."

"I think Naruto can help!"

……

On the border of the Land of Winds, a team of seven or eight ninjas was hurrying through the wind and sand. Judging from the costumes, they should all be ninjas of the Sand Ninja Village, and the two boxes of different sizes on the forehead guard constitute the symbol of the Sand Ninja Village.

"Master Mader, can you really confirm the authenticity of the information? To be honest, we are acting on our own, and if we return to the village without finding anything, we will probably face the questioning of the two elders. When he stopped to rest, one of the sand ninja asked the lead ninja.

Ma De is an elite ninja, and he is also a rare puppeteer, and he has a lot of status in the sand ninja. But even so, it was useless in the face of the two elders, Chiyo and Ebizo, and if this operation failed, he could only accept the punishment honestly.

"This is the news from a spy planted in Konoha, and it's 100% true!" Ma De unscrewed the kettle and took a sip of water: "My disciple died in the hands of this Sigong Yuzang, and he is now Konoha's traitor, and he has to come to the country of wind to kill himself!"

Danzo's strategy was very successful, and the information reacted immediately after it reached the sand shinobi.

The puppeteer of the three sand ninjas who died in the hands of Yuzo a few months ago is Ma De's apprentice, although he is not as good as the rising star Kankuro, but he is also a puppeteer with good talent. His death made Mader furious, but unfortunately he couldn't find a single bit of information about the murderer.

When he learned that the murderer of his apprentice was a Konoha ninja and had just defected, he became murderous. Not to mention the follow-up information, it also said that this guy ran to the side of the Wind Country and was going to the ruins of Loulan.

This time, he took two of his upper ninjas and five elite middle ninjas under him, even if this Sinomiya Yuzo is a super genius, can he still reach the shadow level?

Of course, in fact, he didn't just want to avenge his disciple's death. At present, the sand shinobi are in a very weak state, and after the collapse of the plan of Konoha they have conceded a lot of benefits to Konoha as losers, and the village has not even confirmed the candidate for the next Kazekage. This raised a faint expectation that perhaps he could covet the throne of the Wind Shadow as well?

This is really not a fantasy to talk nonsense, you must know that his brother is the current mainstay of the Sand Shinobi, Maki, even if his strength is not enough, then his brother has a lot of hope.

Killing a Konoha traitor is naturally nothing, and no one in the village cares about this problem. But the line escape is different, if you capture the four palaces and return to the village to study the secret of the line escape, the credit will not be the same.

The information said that this line escape is very powerful, which makes him salivate a little as a puppeteer. Ordinary puppeteers can only control ten chakra lines at the same time, which is limited by the number of fingers. For example, there are dozens of them like Made, and this is still the special skill of the sand ninja secret puppeteer.

Imagine how easy it could be to control an army of golems while it could be imitated. As a result, the puppeteer of the sand ninja will be greatly strengthened, who can ignore such a credit? My brother's guy always looks like he's obeying the orders of two dying elders, which is really a wretch.

As long as there is a little hope, he does not want to miss this opportunity.

Taking advantage of the current chaos in the village, he left the Sand Ninja Village with seven people without the consent of the two elders or even his own brother to set up an ambush in this place of Loulan, and he must take down this line escape ninja!

He did so, whether out of personal vendetta or for future gain.

"Let's go, we are almost at our destination, and we will seize the time to reconnoiter the terrain and set up an ambush!" Ma De felt that the time was almost up, and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said.

The environment in this part of the country of wind has always been so bad that natural disasters such as sandstorms often occur. Even if it doesn't happen, the sand that is usually blown by the wind is enough to make people feel pain.

However, the sand ninja have long been accustomed to the natural environment here, unless it is a huge sandstorm, the kind that can move the sand dunes in a short time to bury everything, their actions are not much different from usual.

An hour later, Ma De was also a little shocked when he saw the large ruins of Loulan.

Loulan is a place where there is relatively little communication with the outside world, and Ma De has heard of this small country that once existed before, but he has never paid attention to it.

Perhaps the collapse of the ruins here is not very old, right? That's what it looks like in one or two decades. The towering buildings of the past have long since lost their original appearance due to the erosion of the wind and sand, but the experience of the sand ninjas can still see how prosperous this place was back then.

Looking at the piles of building ruins that fell to the ground, Ma De couldn't imagine how tall these man-made objects were. How did a small country, with that small population, come up with such a miracle city?

But these are meaningless after all, just the ruins that have been trampled under their feet and nothing more.

"Lord Mader! There is a discovery in the middle of the ruins of the city! A sand ninja ran over and said.

"What discovery?" Ma De wondered, what else could such a ruin be found? Loulan is definitely not a ninja village or anything like that, just ordinary people.

"Your Excellency will come and see for yourself," said Shinobu after a moment's hesitation.

Glancing at his subordinates suspiciously, he directly arranged: "Then you continue to search the terrain here, choose the most suitable ambush location, and I'll go over and have a look first."

The area of Loulan is actually not small, at least the area of this ruin is very large.

In the center of the ruins, there is an abrupt clearing.

A still intact building stands here, probably because its height is different from that of its companions, only seven or eight meters high, so that it has not been knocked down by the rapid wind and sand due to its own weight and structural problems.

The entrance to the building is large and the inside is larger.

Because it can be said that there is no ground inside, it is a circular abyss that I don't know how deep, and I can vaguely see that there seems to be something like the surface of the water below, maybe it is an underground river?

Mader stood at the edge of the abyss, with only a narrow stone path stretching out in mid-air, stopping in the center of the abyss.

Although he has no fear of heights, he still has a feeling of worrying that the road under his feet will collapse when he walks up the stone path, and the abyss below is probably the biggest reason for this mentality.

In the center of the abyss, at the end of the narrow stone path is a small pavilion.

There was nothing else here, there was only a sealing technique composed of yin and yang characters on the flat ground of the pavilion, and a strangely shaped kunai was inserted in the center of the eye-like technique.

"It's... Flying Thunder God Kunai? ”

Mader has this kind of thing in his memory, although he has not seen the demeanor of the four generations of Hokage with his own eyes, but he is familiar with the shape of his weapons, as well as the various deeds of the four generations.

One of his two upper ninja was studying the sealing technique here.

"How?" Mader asked.

Shangren shook his head and explained, "Although I know a little about the sealing technique and the Yin-Yang script, I can't understand most of this technique, and it is impossible to unlock it."

"So, what about brute force breaking?"

Sand Shinobu was startled, and hurriedly said, "No! This thing can't be forcibly removed! The only result of this is an explosion, the amount of chakra contained in the technique is really huge, and if the explosion occurs, it is estimated that the entire Loulan ruins will be wiped out! ”

Mader was also taken aback by these words and suppressed his thoughts.

It seems that this thing is completely untouchable, and I don't know what is sealed, maybe only the four generations of Hokage, who have been dead for more than ten years, know?
