Half an hour later, at the gate of Konoha Village.

"Alright, let's go!"

Naruto, who was walking in front of everyone, looked excited, his hands raised in the air, and he cheered.

Sakura in the back looked disdainful and said, "What are you excited about?" ”

"Because I haven't left this village since I was a child!"

Naruto looked around at the scenery outside the gate of Konoha Village, although it was all ordinary woods and roads, but this was a sight that Naruto had never seen before.

Because in Konoha Village, only ninjas can leave the village at will, ordinary people need to apply in advance to leave the village.

And Naruto was an orphan, so naturally no one took him out of the village.

Sasuke, who was standing in the back and was silent, although the expression on his face did not change much, he also looked left and right.

Sasuke hadn't left the village since that incident.

Seeing Naruto's unreliable appearance and revealing that he had never been out of the village, Talina also muttered a little.

"Hey, isn't there a problem with such a little ghost?"

"Haha." Kakashi could only laugh dryly, "Don't worry, with me, Shangshinobi with you, you don't have to worry." ”

...

On the way, Talina introduced herself to the crowd.

Talina is a housebuilder from the Land of Craftsmen, a well-known expert in building houses, and this time he came to the Land of Fire to help the Daimyo of the Land of Fire repair his palace.

Now that the renovation work of the Daimyo Mansion has been completed, the Daimyo has arranged for the ninjas of Konoha Village to escort Talina back to the Land of Craftsmen in order to express his gratitude to Talina.

However, Talina himself felt that there was no need to be so vigilant, after all, his entire net worth was the craft of building a house, and he usually did not set up enemies, but he still couldn't stand the hospitality of the daimyo.

"The land of craftsmen? Kakashi-sensei, is there a ninja in the land of craftsmen? Sakura asked.

"Yes, but the ninjas of the country of craftsmen are more special, they are better at building ninja tools than performing tasks, and the ninja tools of the ninja villages of the five major countries are basically from the artisan ninja villages of the country of craftsmen."

"By the way, ninja villages exist more or less in each country depending on their culture and customs."

"However, among them, only the ninja villages of the land of fire, the country of wind, the country of thunder, the country of earth, and the country of water can be called the five ninja villages, and only the village chiefs of these five ninja villages can be called shadows."

"Of course, there are also some village chiefs of the small ninja village who have appointed themselves as shadows..."

Kakashi turned on the teaching mode, popularized some knowledge about the ninja village to several Naruto and others, and then turned to Talina and said, "But I didn't expect that not only the craftsman ninja village is good at making ninja tools, but even the craftsmen of the craftsman country are so admirable." ”

At the mention of this, Talina immediately touched her nose proudly, "Of course, everyone born in the Land of Craftsmen is a born craftsman!" ”

"Without boasting, my house-building skills are absolutely top-notch."

"And my brother Dazner is also a great bridge builder, but..."

Speaking of his brother, Talina's tone changed abruptly, and he suddenly fell silent.

"It's just..."

Kakashi was keenly aware of the change.

After Talina was silent for a while, he said, "My younger brother Dazna studied the art of bridge building, and in order to be more successful, he left the country of craftsmen when he was young and went to the coastal areas of the south. ”

"Ten years ago, my brother was completely lost in the Land of Waves."

"I don't know how he's doing now..."

Talina's words made the atmosphere inexplicably weird, and everyone seemed to fall into a sentimental atmosphere.

"Since you want to see your brother, why don't you take the initiative to find him?"

At this moment, a voice broke the silence.

Everyone looked at the person who made the sound with amazement, including Talina.

Because the person who spoke was the blue short-sleeved guy who hadn't said a word since he set off.

Sasuke!

Sasuke suddenly took the initiative to talk to someone, still saying something that was not very necessary, which surprised both Kakashi and Sakura.

Kakashi: Sasuke, you...

Sakura: Sasuke-kun took the initiative to speak! Why didn't you tell me? Damn it!

But in fact, everyone didn't know that Sasuke's words were not exactly to Talina, but to what he wanted to say to his brother Uchiha Itachi.

However, Sasuke immediately realized that he had made a gaffe that did not fit his personality, and immediately looked his head to the side in embarrassment.

"Forget what I just said..."

...

The journey to the country of craftsmen is long, and this mission is not in a hurry, so this mission is more like an outing than a mission.

Kakashi also took advantage of this time to carry out his mission while introducing the three of them to various things about ninjas.

Just the evening before arriving in the Land of Craftsmen, the group found a village.

The village is not large, but when the group walks to the entrance of the village, they can see the collapsed houses everywhere and the villagers walking sadly in the ruins.

It was a long time before an elderly man who looked like the village chief came over and accosted Kakashi and the group.

"As you can see, our village just experienced an earthquake yesterday, and now there is no place to entertain you."

After saying that, the village chief just wanted to turn around and leave, but was whispered by the young man next to him, and the old man's gaze immediately turned to the ninja forehead guard of Kakashi and the others.

"Wait a minute!"

"You're ninjas, aren't you?"

"Well, so what?" Kakashi nodded.

"Ninja-sama! Save our village! ”

The old man was about to kneel down despite the inconvenience of his legs and feet, but was immediately helped up by Kakashi.

"Old man, you don't need to be like this, just say something directly."

Although Kakashi asked the old man to speak directly, the old man did not immediately say what was the matter, and instead led the group to a collapsed house.

Next to the house, several villagers are sitting around a square white cloth.

"This is..."

Although it was separated by a white cloth, Kakashi already had some idea of what was under the white cloth.

Human corpses!

"Miho, uncover it for the ninja-sama."

Under the order of the village chief, a village woman with red eyes uncovered the white cloth, and under the white cloth was indeed a human corpse.

But unlike a normal human corpse, this is a corpse that has been sucked dry.

The body fluids all over the body seemed to have been sucked dry, and the whole body showed an incredibly thin state, and the skin was also gray.

And the face of the corpse still stayed on the frightened expression of the deceased before death, and the mouth did not know whether it was because of the wrinkling of the face or the cry before death, and it stayed in the open O-shape.

What's even more terrifying is that the deceased's eyelids lose their malleability due to the loss of bodily fluids, and the eyes that were opened before death could not be closed at all, and could only be kept open.

"Ahh

The first time she saw the corpse, Sakura let out a piercing scream.

Although Sakura, who was born as a ninja, shouldn't react so violently, this death was so terrifying that Sakura couldn't help but scream.

Naruto and Sasuke next to him didn't make a sound, but their eyes widened as they looked at the corpse that had been sucked dry to an incredible degree.

After stabilizing his mind a little, Kakashi turned to the village chief next to him and said, "Old man, this is..."

"This is my grandson..."

"And it all started a little over a month ago..."
