On the long mountain road, a convoy of horses is slowly advancing.

It is a caravan whose main business is to provide goods and trade for the villages scattered throughout the territory of the Water Country and the surrounding islands.

And the target of this caravan is Fog Hidden Village.

"If you climb over the mountain in front of you, you can see Wuyin Village!"

"Let's work hard, and strive to enter the Fog Hidden Village before it gets dark!"

The coachman in front of him waved his whip, and the two horses sped up, and the wagons loaded with supplies followed closely behind.

In one of the carriages, a beige-haired, porter-dressed man looked up at the sky.

For some reason, after entering the range of Fog Hidden Village, I felt that the fog in the field of vision had become much thicker, although it was not enough to completely obstruct the line of sight, but it would definitely affect the investigation.

This person's name is 酉 (yǒu) City Bear Hand, and at this time his identity is a porter in the merchant ranks, but his real identity is a special shinobi of Konoha Village.

More than a month ago, Ushi Kumite accepted the mission of the third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, so he appeared here.

To this day, Uruschi Bear Hand remembers the solemn expression on his face when Sarutobi sent him out a mission alone.

...

"Bear Hand, I'm sending you on a top-secret mission this time."

"Infiltrate the Fog Hidden Village to find out the intelligence, which is the spy mission." Ape Fei Ri held the pipe in his hand and said slowly.

And the heart of the bear hand of Youshi suddenly tensed when he heard the words of the ape flying sun.

Because of the meaning of the espionage mission, the Youshi bear hand is completely clear.

The espionage mission is to infiltrate the enemy's sphere of influence and engage in intelligence gathering activities.

This kind of mission is basically carried out by one person, and since it is in the hostile sphere of influence, there will be no support.

Moreover, espionage activities are intolerable for any country and ninja village, and all countries and ninja villages have complete disposal rights after catching the spy ninja by default, and it is very difficult to even carry out Zheng Zhi rescue.

However, espionage missions are the most dangerous of all.

Without any backup, he can only resign himself to fate after being caught.

And the target of this infiltration is the fog hidden village known as the "Blood Mist", and the danger of the mission can be imagined.

"Half a month ago, Orochimaru defected from Konoha Village, and the direction of his escape was the Land of Water."

"Although the possibility is extremely low, I want you to find out if Orochimaru has made contact with the Fog Hidden Village and started a cooperation."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Although the mission was very dangerous, the Ushi bearhand did not have any right to refuse, so he decisively took on the task.

Just as Youshi Xiongshou got up to leave, Ape Fei Ri Slash turned around again and said solemnly: "There is one more thing that I care about. ”

"Within the realm of the Water Country, there may be a sect called Cthulhu."

"If you can, I'd like you to find out something about the sect."

"Of course, this task is not forced."

"Yes." Youshi Kumite nodded again and agreed, as long as Hokage-sama's task was, no matter what it was, he would do his best to complete it, this is the ninja of Konoha Village.

...

After accepting this mission, Youshi Bear Hand traveled to many places as a civilian into the territory of the Water Country, and then searched for a way to infiltrate the Fog Hidden Village.

Infiltrating the Fog Hidden Village, a heavily guarded ninja village with shadow-level powerhouses, it is definitely impossible to forcibly infiltrate with ninja means, and seeking a reasonable identity to enter the Fog Hidden Village is the only way.

And Wuyin Village is now known as the "Blood Mist Inside", and there is very little contact with the outside world, and there are very few ways to enter Wuyin Village normally as an ordinary person.

However, no matter how tight the fortress is, it also needs to be replenished regularly, although the current Wuyin Village implements closed diplomacy to the outside world, it still needs to be supplied from the outside, so the merchant team is the only possibility to enter the Wuyin Village.

After the preliminary investigation and careful layout of the bear hand of the unitary market, he finally joined the caravan with the qualifications to trade with the Fog Hidden Village as a porter.

After nearly half a month of hard labor in this caravan, the Youshi Bear Hand finally gained enough trust to have the opportunity to enter the Fog Hidden Village.

...

"The front is Wuyin Village, don't say superfluous words later, let me negotiate."

At the behest of the leader of the merchant procession, all of them put on their hats and buried their heads deep in their chests, not daring to look up more.

Youshi Xiong did the same, and also put his hat on his head, but before he looked down, he still peeked at the Wuyin Village in front of him.

In the faint mist, there stood a tall city wall, on which stood a dozen fog ninjas patrolling back and forth, and the security here was even seven or eight times stricter than that of Konoha Village.

It seems that there is no option to dive in directly is the right choice.

The caravan slowly came to the city gate of Wuyin Village, and the leader of the caravan team negotiated with the Wuyin guards at the city gate, and the others all bowed their heads and remained silent.

This was followed by a ten-minute search, and after confirming that the goods on the carriage were not entrained, the Fog Hidden Ninja finally let them go.

Entering Wuyin Village, the people of the caravan did not run rampant in the village as they imagined, but were concentrated in a hostel far away from the center of the village.

The leader of the caravan turned around and left after explaining that he had rested early and left Wuyin Village early tomorrow morning.

But after leaving, he came back and added.

"Remember, everyone, don't leave the hostel and walk around the village!"

The caravan leader's tone was very serious and warning, and it made people shudder.

After the dinner provided by the hostel, all the coachmen and porters gathered in the sleeping bunk to get ready to rest.

It's not the first time that many people here have come to Wuyin Village, and they are quite familiar with the situation here, so they should play cards and chat, and they should not be too concerned about the restrictions on not being able to go out.

"I used to think that Wuyin Village was the most terrifying village, but now that I have come to Wuyin Village, I feel relaxed."

"Yes, the village of that country I went to more than half a month ago was really scared to death."

"Fortunately, the goods sold quickly that day, and the caravan left after only half a day, otherwise something bad would definitely happen at night."

"I used to go to that place and it would take days to sell the goods, but I don't know why the people there suddenly became so rich and grabbed the goods."

"Thankfully, it sold so fast, I really don't want to go there again."

"Me too."

"Me too."

The four porters sat around and talked, and the Ushi Bear Hand joined in and asked, "What place are you talking about?" ”

"Don't you remember?"

"He's new here, and he joined the caravan just after we came out of that place."

"Oh, no wonder I don't know."

"The place we're talking about is the country of waves."
