Chapter Eighty-Six: Convergence
At noon, the desert temperature is as high as 50 or 60 degrees, and by dusk, the temperature has become very pleasant. As the sun continues to tilt westward, the temperature will continue to drop at a very rapid rate, soon falling to around zero degrees, and even as low as -10 degrees Celsius.
Qianyu and the others left the stone crevice at dusk, although the temperature was still quite high, but it did not hinder their activities.
Continuing to look for the traces left by the team ahead, Thousand Feathers and they gradually approached in a northwesterly direction.
This area has a lot of rocks, and in addition to loess rocks, there are many common rocks.
The Thousand Feathers team advanced for more than half an hour, and when they reached a raised stone mountain that looked like the back of an animal, Thousand Feathers suddenly stopped. Ebisu and Red, who were following him closely, stopped at the same time and subconsciously looked around.
Qian Yu didn't wait and see like them, he walked directly towards the stone mountain.
It is said to be a stone mountain, but it is actually a stone protruding from the sand, but this stone is too large, with a length of dozens of meters, a width of dozens of meters, and a height of almost ten meters, which is a particularly large rock.
The surface of the rock is badly weathered, with various scratches and small holes everywhere, and there are many stone crevices underneath.
Qianyu's target was one of the stone cracks, not the largest one, but a stone crack that looked very ordinary, neither big nor small, about three or four meters above the ground.
Walking to the crack in the stone, Qian Yu glanced up, and then jumped up.
As soon as he stepped onto the crack in the stone, more than a dozen kunai flew in front of him, but when he was still about half a meter away, all of them stopped in mid-air.
"Do you welcome your companions so much? Obito, you're trying to kill my rhythm. ”
Qian Yu shook his head helplessly, and as soon as he raised his hand, all the kunai fell into his palm.
Then he shook his hand, and a dozen handfuls of kunai turned around and burrowed into the depths of the stone crevices like living fish. Immediately after, a strange cry sounded from the crack in the stone, and then ran out of it with dirt and crawling.
"Qianyu, I think you're trying to kill me, bastard, I'll fight with you!"
While shouting, he waved his fist and came back at Chiha.
As a result, as soon as he took two steps, a dozen iron bars bound his hands and feet. Obito fell to the ground all at once, squirming all over the ground like a big maggot, and he couldn't get up even if he wanted to.
Immediately behind Chiba, Ebisu and Red also jumped into the stone crevice, and when they saw the appearance of being embarrassed, Ebisu pushed his eyes and ignored him. And Red covered his mouth and chuckled, and when he passed by Obito, he bent down and waved at him.
Obito naturally hated itchy, rolling on the ground and scolding, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him now.
Qian Yu walked into the depths of the stone crevice, turned a few corners, and saw a small rock space. The space is about four or five square meters in size, and a bonfire is lit in the center, and the fire lights up the whole space. But don't worry about ventilation, there are many small stone crevices in this huge rock, and many of them are connected to this space.
When Chiba stepped into the crack in the stone, he could feel the breeze blowing in his face.
At the same time, because the channel itself is very distorted, there is no need to worry about the light propagating.
It's just that the people inside can't see the situation outside, so someone has to look at the situation outside at the first turn. This time it was undoubtedly Obito, and then he was undoubtedly controlled by Qianyu casually.
The rest of the team, including the captain Mizumon, were all sitting in this rocky space, and when they entered, everyone was drinking around the campfire.
"I knew it had to be you, if it was someone else, Obito wouldn't be so excited."
Shuimen looked at Qianyu and said with a smile.
"Yes, as soon as I walked up, he greeted me directly with kunai, but it scared me so much that I almost fell headlong."
Qian Yu replied with a smile, then walked to the side of the water gate and sat down, waving his hand at the two people on the other two sides, "Kakashi, Rin, long time no see." ”
"It's been a long time since I saw you, Qianyu, I heard that you haven't been back to the village recently?"
Nohara Rin is a very cute little girl, not the most beautiful girl in their class in Qianyu, but the cuteness is definitely in the top three.
Therefore, she is very popular among her classmates, and many people are willing to talk to her more, including Obito.
"Didn't you rest too long before? I also want to do more tasks and try to improve my strength. ”
Qian Yu reached out and took the water cup handed over by Lin and took a sip gently.
Kakashi sat next to Rin and didn't speak, just sat silently.
Red and Ebisu also followed, and after saying hello, Red immediately made it to Rin's side, and the two little girls got together and chattered. Ebisu sat next to Chiha, and like Kakashi, didn't speak.
At this time, Obito also ran in, in fact, Qianyu had just walked into this small space, and he had already untied the lock on Obito's body. After all, they are now in the territory of the enemy country, and no one can say when the enemy will appear, and if he keeps locking up the soil, if an enemy really comes, he will be the first to be killed. Everyone is just joking, so naturally there is no need to be serious.
Obito ran in and first glanced at Rin, and was relieved to find that there seemed to be no other expression on Rin's face.
Then he pointed at Chi Yu, "What did you mean just now?" Are you going to kill me? I actually shot me with Kuwu, but fortunately I dodged it with strong strength, otherwise you would be in big trouble this time. ”
"Yes, yes, you are strong, you are more powerful than before, I admit defeat."
Qian Yu raised his hands and said helplessly.
"Humph!"
Obito tilted his head with a smug expression on his face as he looked at Lin again. Finding that Lin didn't look at him at all, he hung his head in frustration.
"Okay, take the soil, go out and keep an eye on it, this is not Konoha Village, you must not be careless."
Of course, Mizumon saw all kinds of expressions in Obito's eyes, and he was also a person from the past, so of course he knew Obito's thoughts. So he didn't say much, just told him to do the right thing.
Of course, Obito also understood the principle of priority, so he could only nod and turn around and go out unhappy.
When he left, Qian Yu turned back.
"Mr. Watergate, can you tell us about the current situation? What happened to the three missing squads? Why were they attacked in the Land of Winds? And, what about the others? Based on our observations along the way, there should have been three support teams entering the Land of Winds, including you. ”
"That's right, there are two other squads, and I've met them. However, everyone's goal is not exactly the same, and the mission is also different, our mission is to save people, and their mission is to stop the enemy from pursuing. So they had already gone to the predetermined retreat route in advance and began to make arrangements. As for the missing squad...... Sorry, I don't know, I just know that their mission is supposed to be related to intelligence, but the intelligence they are trying to steal should not be a great piece of information, so they were attacked, and I have two guesses.
First of all, it could be a continuation of the previous trend......"
That is, the Konoha ninjas were frequently attacked during their missions before, and this often happens until now, and Konoha Village has lost more than twenty people because of it.
"Secondly, I think this could be another ambush by the Wind Nation against you. According to you, the last time Kazekage apparently tried to devour the chakra inside of you, only to be stopped by you and planted iron poison on him. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have forgotten this matter easily, not to mention that the other party was still Kazekage. Your behavior is tantamount to a big loss of face for him, and it is completely reasonable that he will find a way to retaliate against you. ”
Watergate whispered.
"But Mizumon-sensei, if Kazekage's target is Senha-kun, why did he let him come here? Isn't this exactly what the other party wants? ”
When Qian Yu spoke, everyone's attention was focused.
So after hearing Watergate's words, Lin asked for the first time.
"This ...... I'm afraid that the third generation also has his considerations. ”
Lynn's question left Watergate at a loss as to how to answer.
But Qianyu knew the answer, it was nothing more than that Tuan Zang had done something again. However, if the third generation is the case, he has the ability to stop but does not stop it, and it is more likely that he still hopes to take this opportunity to train himself. No, even the water gate is coming, and there shouldn't be much of a problem in terms of safety.
This is also the reason why Qianyu knew that it was dangerous here, but still accepted the mission and came on time.
He himself wanted to see how much the gap between himself and the three generations of Kazekage had narrowed after two years of not seeing each other. Last time, I was just barely protecting myself, but this time, maybe the situation will be very different.
