Chapter 34: Seeking and Concealing
In a clearing deep in the forest of Satomiya, Shijin and the Tachibana siblings sat on the ground, surrounded by green healing insects, healing their feet.
The feet that had already been cooked off, under the action of the healing insects, the cooked meat slowly peeled off, and new skin and tender meat grew.
This Yakumo almost roasted his feet.
"Then it's time to decide where to hide. How? Take her back to the village? Zhizhen asked.
"No, Konoha is full of eyeliner roots, and we'll be found as soon as we enter the village." Saemon immediately vetoed it.
"That's right."
Zhizhen nodded, listening to Saemon say so much, Zhizhen realized that he was actually a little underestimated.
He only said that the root was not an organization that would lose to the dark department, but he never thought that the power of the root in Konoha was so strong.
As its name suggests, the roots are deeply rooted in the roots of Konoha.
It's too difficult to dodge the roots' spies and hide Kurama Yakumo.
Uemon thought for a moment and said, "Just take the target back to the Shadows and imprison it until Hokage-sama decides." ”
"Nope." Saemon suddenly spoke, he had calmed down now, and said, "If that's the case, Hokage-sama would just ask someone to send her to the Shadows, why bother to give us a task?" ”
"Well, Hokage-sama gave this task because he didn't want us to bring Kurama Yakumo back to the shadows or hand it over to anyone else." Zhizhendao.
"Then you can only hide in the forest." Zhizhen nodded.
Saemon also nodded, he calmed down, his mind returned to normal, and he already had a belly case in his stomach. He said, "Lord Shizhen, I suggest that we hide in Satomiyaka." ”
Zhizhen was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood, and said, "I see, do you think that the most dangerous place is the safest place?" ”
"Yes." Saemon nodded.
"However, once Kurama Yakumo is found missing, the people of the root and the people of the shadows will start a carpet search for Satomigaoka." Emon gave a different opinion.
"It doesn't matter, I have a solution. Uemon, in a moment we will find a place to support the mountain, you will make a cave out of the earth, and I will use illusion to create an illusion to cover the entrance. It is believed that it should be able to evade the enemy's search. Saemon said.
"I see, but brother, I built a cave out of earth, and the movement is not small, and it may attract enemies." Uemon voiced his concerns.
Saemon thought for a moment and said, "There's no other way. ”
Zhizhen also pursed his lips when he heard this, and was about to say that he had no choice, but suddenly remembered the rock hard worm on his body, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Let me do the matter of opening a cave." I might have a solution. ”
"You?" Uemon's face was full of disbelief, and Shijin said unhappily, "What kind of expression do you have?" ”
"An expression of disbelief." Uemon made no secret of it.
"Hmph, if you don't believe in it, I'm too lazy to tell you." Zhizhen said arrogantly.
Hearing this, Saemon smiled lightly, he hadn't felt like this kind of task for a long time.
"Then you say, what method do you use to open the hole? Do you plan by hand? Uemon snorted.
"Am I a dog? Why do you hate me so much? Zhizhen couldn't help but ask.
Really, Zhizhen doesn't know why Youemon is so unaccustomed to him, and he likes to come against him in every word.
However, Shijin didn't know anything, and it was not for nothing that Uemon hated Shijin.
In the past three years, in order to protect Zhizhen, he and Saemon have eaten and slept in the open, and they have not had a good rest for a day.
Whether it's hot or cold, or a storm, they have always guarded Zhizhen.
For the sake of the task, it doesn't matter.
But because of this mission, they were ridiculed and despised by other colleagues in the shadows.
Not everyone in the shadows is a companion, and there are also their own squads and struggles in the shadows.
So some people said that the orange brothers and sisters might have been guarding that little researcher for the rest of their lives, and they would have nothing to do in the future.
This made Uemon very unhappy, her eldest brother was so good, and she was not an ordinary person, under normal circumstances, their brother and sister would have a lot to do in the future.
But because of Zhizhen, they missed a lot of important tasks, and because of Zhizhen, they were ridiculed.
Saemon doesn't matter, but Emon has always had a grudge.
When she heard that she could team up with her eldest brother to do tasks together, she couldn't say how happy she was, but when she thought of teaming up with Zhizhen, she couldn't be happier.
Isn't this still going to follow Zhizhen?
Return to the Shizhen team, Hokage-sama clearly wants us to take care of Shizhen.
Hehe, it's worthy of being a ninja from the family, and the treatment is different from those of us.
She was already young, and despite being trained in the shadows, she still had strong emotions.
This went back and forth, and over time, Uemon also had a considerable prejudice against Shijin.
Do you hate him? Actually, it's not, I just don't like him.
"I don't hate you, I'm just telling you the truth." Uemon said lightly.
Zhizhen pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, Hokage-sama said that you have low emotional intelligence, so I won't meet you." ”
"What!? You! Uemon's eyes widened, and Shima pretended not to see.
"Uemon!" Saemon snorted, and Uemon twisted his head to the side in a huff.
Saemon glanced at Emon gently and said, "Shima-sama, what can you do?" ”
"It's my bug. My hardworm's main food is ore in the soil, and if you use them, you should be able to gnaw a cave, but I don't know how long it will take. Zhizhen thought about it and said.
"I see, if it's a lot of it, it shouldn't take more than an hour." Saemon smiled and said, "And it's quiet, too." ”
"Hmph, it turns out that you rely on bugs, what's the use of you without bugs?" Uemon said disdainfully.
When Zhizhen heard this, he couldn't help but complain: "Sister, the oil girl clan uses insects!" ”
Hearing this, Uemon froze for a moment, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.
This girl is really, not to mention that her EQ is low, she feels that her IQ is also a little low, and she can't get the point when she scares people, and Zhizhen complains silently.
"So, let's hurry up." Saemonway.
The three of them treated their feet for a while, and the severe burns were basically healed.
After wandering around Satomi Hill for more than an hour, the three of them finally found a rocky area.
Zhizhen was not verbose, and directly summoned 16,000 rock hard insects, commanding and began to gnaw at the mountain wall.
Originally, he thought that he would gnaw for a long time, but he didn't expect that 16,000 rock hard insects would have such a powerful devouring speed.
In less than half an hour, a cave three meters high, three meters wide, and three meters deep was gnawed out on the mountain wall.
Then the sixteen,000 rock worms flew very slowly as if they had eaten enough.
The three of them entered, and the Uemon put Yakumo down, found some branches, and tried to set them on fire to light.
Saemon stopped and said, "A little fire from you will attract people, wait for me to set up an illusion first." ”
Immediately afterward, Saemon came to the entrance of the cave, his hands sealed, and his mouth whispered: "Illusion: Mirror Illumination!" ”
Immediately, a rock wall grew out of the originally huge cave entrance, sealing the three of them in it.
Zhizhen was amazed when he saw this, and couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but he passed through it without hindrance.
"If you accidentally touch it, it will be exposed, right?" Zhizhen couldn't help but say.
"Of course, it's just an illusion. But under normal circumstances, no one hits the mountain wall, right? Saemon chuckled and said, "Uemon, set up an enchantment." ”
"Yes, brother!" Uemon descended, came to the entrance of the cave, sealed his hands, and then slapped it on the ground: "Knot!" ”
Suddenly, several incomprehensible tadpole scripts crawled out from under the palm of Uemon's palm, forming a strange pattern and disappearing.
