The old man in the money exchange office didn't know how to react to the battle outside, anyway, he didn't mean to come out to take a look. This kind of place is generally neutral and between the major forces in the ninja world, although their strength is average or weak, but they survive in this world like birds pecking at parasites on creatures such as hippos.

Hastily filling his stomach, Kakashi reconfirmed the location on the scroll and led a few people on the way.

It was possible for Yuzo not to hand over the scroll, but in fact it was impossible for him not to hand it over, because Kakashi would not give up. This is also the way ninjas behave, the fact that Yuzo ransacked Rush and his gang and had clues in his hand has already been known to Kakashi, at least it is extremely probable, and it is impossible for him to give up. Even if he used force to forcibly search his body, Kakashi would do so, at most without harming the wandering samurai.

Maybe Yuzo could say that he didn't care, and threw it away after getting it, and Kakashi had to believe it, but he couldn't find any evidence. But they will continue to investigate Orochimaru after that, and Ino is also on this team.

To be cautious, it's a good idea to go with them. At present, he can already use Chakra, and if Ino, they really encounter Orochimaru, he can more or less guarantee Ino's safety.

If you can, others are naturally protected.

The place written on the scroll is said to be far away, but it is not close, and it can be reached in about a day with the feet of a ninja.

The next morning, they were already close to the target location.

According to the time stated on the scroll, they would have to wait here for about three days before they could wait for Orochimaru's men. So Kakashi decided that he would wait by himself and hide nearby to observe the situation, so that they could leave for some distance and wait for Kakashi's news.

This place is not some kind of hidden existence as imagined, just a small forest.

After separating from Kakashi and leaving for about a few hundred meters, Shikamaru led them to a stop under a tree. Although it is not a large forest, it is full of trees, so there are not many places to choose from. After setting up a few cordons around, it is expected that this will be the place where they will be active for the next three days.

Naruto is the kind who can't be idle for a moment, and when he eats, he talks non-stop, and after eating, he starts to practice ninjutsu in shadow clones. Because considering the problem of concealment, it was impossible for him to practice the Spiral Pill, and he could only do some basic skills such as refining chakra. After all, in Naruto's combat power composition, the connection seal is not needed much, and the multiple shadow clones only need one seal, and the spiral pill is simply unsealed.

It's the same with Ino, who looks through some scrolls from time to time as if he's learning something. Yuzang pretended to take a casual look, it seemed that there were some books on illusion, and there were also things that explained the composition of human mental power.

Shikamaru looked idle, lying on the grass and doing nothing.

Finally, Yuzo, even if he has the heart to practice, he can only touch his katana in a daze. It is impossible for him to study his line escape here, and if he exercises his physical skills, there will be a lot of movement. Even though it's hundreds of meters away from there, and it's a long way from a visual distance, you still have to be careful about it. Many times, a small oversight can also lead to unwanted results.

"It's worthy of a Konoha ninja, I usually practice so hard...", some of them had nothing to say, Yuzo sat next to Shikamaru and said, "Are they usually like this?"

"Well, probably." Shikamaru squinted lazily and said, "As a ninja, you naturally need continuous effort to go further, and talent alone is only one aspect."

...

Yuzo always felt that Shikamaru would feel a little disobedient when he said something like this, a lazy-looking guy lying on the ground and telling him about the importance of hard work or something... Isn't this guy lying on the ground a rebuttal to a similar argument... Of course, Yuzo knew that Shikamaru was only a character, and the effort he put in was not much less than that of others.

Naruto's graduates this year, there are only twelve strong ninjas who are relatively good, so will that one not be diligent? Even Shikamaru.

"To say that Naruto has actually been working hard all along, but now this level has to be added a little." Shikamaru seemed to be bored, and began to continue: "Including Ino, although I have never relaxed in this aspect of cultivation before, it is hard to imagine that I am diligent to such an extent."

Shikamaru was somewhat emotional.

This kind of topic is the usual small talk, although Yuzo's current identity is a samurai from another village, but he can be regarded as a companion, and Shikamaru doesn't mind chatting with him. And the things he said were inconsequential, not information that belonged to the village.

Besides, Shikamaru does have a lot of thoughts about Ino's recent changes.

As soon as he talked about things related to Ino, Yuzo was naturally very related, which was also the purpose of his coming over to talk, so he asked very appropriately next: "Oh, what happened?"

Yuzo tried to calm his tone a little more when he spoke, but he was thinking in his heart: Ino is trying so hard to catch him back in the future, right?

Pulling out a grass stalk and biting it in his mouth, Shikamaru put his hands behind his head: "Well, something did happen." We have a very good friend, and then he had an accident, and no one knows what happened, but according to the village, he defected..."

"Well, that's really, unfortunately..."

Yuzo doesn't know what he can say...

"Actually, it's okay, ninja rebellion happens in every village from time to time, although it's quite rare in proportion... In short, I never thought that this kind of thing would happen to good friends..."Shikamaru is also not in a good mood when he talks about this, if it is Sasuke, the relationship between them is average, but the matter of Yuzo is different.

"Well, so... Is she going to work hard to cultivate and get that friend of yours back when she has the strength? Yuzo thought about it for a while but still didn't call Ino by his name, and still replaced it with "she".

"Ahh Who knows..."Shikamaru seemed to be about to fall asleep, "Anyway, we discussed it together after that, and decided that we must ask that guy what was going on in the future." Well, Ino began to practice very hard, and if she had stayed in the past, she would probably have studied some boring things at this time, such as what to eat at the next meal or comb her hair..."

In Shikamaru's opinion, things like girls looking in the mirror and combing their hair are boring.

Leaning against the slightly stiff trunk of the tree behind him, Yuzo looked up at the leaves and branches that were driven by the wind, and looked at the two cultivators from time to time, feeling an urge to find an opportunity to meet Ino with his true face.

For example, tell her about her current situation and tell her not to worry too much...

You don't need to work so hard to practice, it's not good to be too tired...

If it was before, he didn't have this in mind. It's just that now seeing Ino like this in his spare time, he feels a little distressed. I'm not sure what she's thinking at the moment, but Izo has always thought about it as her boyfriend...

But when will the opportunity be?

It's not impossible to let Kakashi and Shikamaru know, but this kind of thing is still very risky. Even if you don't talk about the risks, once Danzou and Tsunade know about it, they will be dissatisfied with this kind of behavior.

Thinking about these things, he drew his katana and began to wipe the blade with a white silk cloth.

This is something that samurai often do.

While Yuzo was bothered about something, Orochimaru had just learned of Rush's death.

"You mean, a samurai did it?"

Orochimaru was a little interested, knowing that although Rush was just a failed product of the spell mark experiment, he belonged to his early works, and he didn't pay attention to it, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent to do that kind of thing. But in any case, after opening the curse seal, there is also a strength close to the upper ninja, and in the current ninja world, the orthodox samurai with strong strength are comparable to cherished animals.

"Could it be the people of the Iron Country? But this samurai doesn't have any information..."Yakushi guessed as he sided.

At this time, Orochimaru was conducting an experiment, and while injecting various reagents into the body of the test subject, he said, "It doesn't matter where he belongs first, you say that he is mixed up with Konoha Nine-Tails Pillar Force and Kakashi?"

"Yes, there is our intelligence channel right where the money exchange is located!"

"Hehe..."

Orochimaru smiled meaninglessly, and then continued to concentrate on the experiment in his hand. For him, the Nine-Tails Pillar Force is not easy to use, and it is an extremely huge trouble to really catch it. But that samurai really interested him, maybe he was really the inheritor of the samurai who had long since disappeared.

Although the samurai of the Iron Country also have strong men, they are no longer the same as the ancient orthodox samurai.

I hope it won't be a guy from the Iron Country, it would be too boring.

Well... Thanks to the five hundred rewards of the lying 258...
