"The Land of Waves?"

"Yes, a very small island nation near the Land of Water."

"Can you elaborate on that?" Youshi Bear Hand continued to ask.

The four porters looked embarrassed, after all, no one wanted to recall what happened at that time, but in their hearts they wanted to show off their extensive knowledge to the bears, so they finally said it.

"If I tell me about this, don't be afraid."

"Well, I'm not afraid."

Youshi Xiongshou still has some disdain for the porter's alarmism in his heart, he is a ninja, how can he be frightened by words.

"Remember we sailed to the country of waves that morning, right?"

"Well, it's morning."

"Yes."

After receiving the approval of the other porters, the porter continued: "That morning, we arrived at the port of Hano Kuni on a ship full of goods. ”

"I remember the pungent smell of fish and rancid smell in the air in the harbor that day, and the smell of dead fish almost made me sick, and many people at that time couldn't stand the smell and just vomited."

"We forced the smell of dead fish in the air to unload the ship's cargo, but by the time we unloaded all the cargo, no one had come to the port, and it was as if the entire country of waves was empty."

"But suddenly, there was a fog in the harbor that had just been sunny, and the fog rose without warning, enveloping the whole port. I really don't understand. ”

Hearing this, the bears of the Youshi City had some conjectures.

Although the geographical conditions of the land of water are prone to fog, it is suspicious that it suddenly becomes foggy on a sunny day.

If you guessed correctly, this is not a simple fogging, it is likely to be a ninjutsu.

The unique ninjutsu of the Fog Hidden Village, the Fog Hidden Technique.

"As soon as the fog lifted, I saw a figure emerge from the fog and trade goods with us."

"Those people are all islanders of the country of waves, and they wear huge cloaks that can cover their bodies, and they take out the gold coins of the country of waves to trade with us, and buy a lot of our goods."

"They spend a lot of money, they pay a gold coin every time, they don't need to look for money, and I don't know why, how the small island nation that used to be so poor suddenly became so rich."

"I've got a gold coin here, I'll show you."

The other porter took out a gold coin from his bosom and handed it to the bear, who picked it up and examined it carefully.

Each region and country crafts its own gold coins, but the value of a coin depends entirely on the weight of the coin, so few countries will carve the coin very delicately, and it will not increase its value when it is circulated anyway.

But the workmanship of this coin is so beautiful that it can almost be called a work of art.

On the outermost ring of the coin is inscribed with an indecipherable twisted text, which may be an ancient local script.

Behind these texts are clearly carved water ripples.

In the middle of the coin is a bust of a strange humanoid creature with very round eyes and a bloated body that vaguely resembles a frog.

It is still very strange that such a creature that is very different from the human image appears on such a delicately carved gold coin.

If you want, the workmanship of this gold coin can be used to carve a more handsome human form.

Unless it's deliberate.

Just as the bearhand of Youshi was about to take a closer look, the porter who provided the gold coin snatched back his own gold coin.

"In less than half a day, our goods were almost sold, and just when we were about to close the stall, a woman... People come and buy things. ”

At the mention of the word "woman", the porter visibly hesitated.

"The woman said that she wanted to buy spices, and she was very generous, and it was directly a gold coin."

"But when she handed over the coin, I accidentally saw her hand sticking out of her cuff!"

"That's simple, it's not a human hand!"

"The pale skin was slightly greenish, and there were black bumps on it, from which mucus was secreted, and even the gold coins were stained with that disgusting slime!"

"Her hand joints are all slightly twisted, and her fingers are so bloated that they look like they're joined together."

"At that time, this hand scared me and called it out, and as a result, the other people around me also turned their heads to look at me."

"The people of the Land of Waves were gloomy and expressionless, they didn't even have pupils in their eyes, and their whole eyeballs were just the whites of their eyes, staring at me intently like fish."

"Oh my God! What monsters have I been trading with all morning? ”

The porter's face showed a frightened expression, and it seemed that this incident had left a considerable shadow on his heart.

And after the porter told what happened to him, the other three porters also nodded in agreement.

"I also saw some by chance, but it was foggy at the time, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but after thinking about it later, I was sure that I was not wrong at all."

"Looking back now, it's scary."

"I won't dare to go to the country of waves again."

The four porters began to express their impressions, while the bearhand of Youshi was secretly thinking.

Another of Hokage-sama's missions is to investigate a sect named Cthulhu, and although this mission is not the main one, the Uchichi Bear Hand has been keeping an eye on it.

But at the moment, let alone the Cthulhu cult, even the word Cthulhu has not been mentioned from other people's mouths.

But what the porter said about it is still worth thinking about.

Judging by the porter's description, there is a high probability that there were ninjas there.

A poor island nation without ninjas suddenly has ninjas, and with them surplus gold coins and mutated islanders.

Although it is not known what the meaning behind this is, the Umami plans to wait until the spy mission in the Fog Hidden Village is over and go back to report the matter to Hokage-sama.

...

At midnight, the porter and coachman slept in the Chase Shop, where the porter and the coachman slept, with their characteristic snoring.

The exertion of the day had put them into a state of deep sleep, except for only one person.

Youshi Kumite got up from the tatami mat and felt the snorts of the people around him, all of them were very calm, and no one was in a state of soberness.

Youshi Bear got up with his bags and went to the toilet of the hostel, and when he came out again, he had already changed into the combat uniform of the Konoha Ninja and put a mask on his face.

This spy mission is only one night of intelligence gathering, and you must return to the hostel before dawn tomorrow to avoid suspicion.

Turning over and jumping onto the roof of the hostel, Youshi Xiongshou first used his perceptual ninjutsu to probe the surroundings of the hostel.

There were no guards arranged, and it seems that the Fog Hidden Village was not as tight as it was rumored.

Youshi Bear Hand rolled over and jumped into the clearing in front of the inn, and then disappeared into the woods in a flash.

However, the bears did not notice that on the back wall of the hostel, a cloud of fog gradually revealed the shape of a human being.
