A day later

The large ship docked at the port of Fog Shadow Island, and the workers on board began to carry food and goods down one after another.

It's not the first time that Cardo has delivered grain to the Fog Shadow Village, and many of his carriages are already waiting at the docks.

Led by the caravan's deputy, Mian Ma got into the carriage specially prepared for him.

He will enter the Fog Shadow Village with the convoy, this time he will be in charge of handing over to the Fog Shadow Village, and the accompanying deputy will be Yongdou, who has met before, who is in charge of the smuggling and selling of the caravan.

A few days ago, when the shadow clone of the face was preparing for this operation in the country of waves, in order not to be detected by the ninjas of the land of water, he used the sealing technique to seal Chakra in this shadow clone.

At this point, even a sentient ninja can't see the difference between him and the civilians, and the seal will only emit a small amount of chakra that can sustain the shadow clone.

The purpose of this operation is very clear, and Mian Ma is not here to fight, and it doesn't need a lot of chakra, it's enough to maintain the shadow clone.

An hour later, the workers finished carrying the goods, and the convoy headed for the Fog Shadow Village.

Mizuma observes the surroundings from the carriage, and the Isle of Mist Shadow is one of the several main islands of the Land of Water.

Among them, the Fog Shadow Village is located here, and most of the water country ninjas are also stationed here, and you can often see figures flashing on the road outside.

Like the Land of Waves, the Isle of Mist Shadow is dominated by foggy weather, hence the name of Mist Shadow Village.

Mist Shadow Village is located in the center of Mist Shadow Island, and from the entrance of the village, Mist Shadow Village is surrounded by mountains, with only the road at the entrance of the village leading to the port.

The houses are mostly made of mud, and in the mist, various gray buildings loom in the background.

After entering Wuyin Village, the horse-drawn carriage marched through the streets, looking at both sides, and he clearly felt that this village was two extremes compared to the bustling Konoha village, where every house had its doors and windows closed, and there were no pedestrians on the street.

Mian Ma said secretly in his heart:

[This is the land of blood mist under the control of Obito, it's really lifeless.] ]

He just watched quietly all the way, without saying a word, until he came to the task handover, and he talked to a middle-aged man wearing a foggy forehead guard.

"This ninja-sama, down is Kado's subordinate Rukawa Kaede, and we are here to hand over the food this time." The young man in disguise said respectfully.

The middle-aged ninja nodded indifferently and said to his subordinates beside him:

"Deliver this grain to the granary."

After giving the order, he picked up the box at his feet, and said to Ma on the other side:

"This is the 1 million taels that I promised to Cardo."

After saying that, he handed the box to the noodles.

The latter took the opportunity to ask:

"My lord, what is the reason for the decrease in food in the village?"

Then he complained:

"It's a big loss for us."

The middle-aged ninja shook his head helplessly:

"Now there are fewer and fewer ninjas and civilians in the village, and if you give us food, no one will eat it."

He paused, then spoke:

"What's more, the Taketori clan is quite restless now. Really, Mizukage-sama's move to get rid of the Blood Succession Family is really..."

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged ninja seemed to realize something and quickly kept silent.

During the conversation between the face and the middle-aged ninja, a female ninja with long brown hair and blue clothes walked over and asked the middle-aged ninja:

"Kirihei, are there any suitable tasks that I can claim recently?"

Kirihei glanced at the female ninja and said angrily:

"Zhao Meiming, it's not that you don't know, now that the village is implementing the village closure policy, there are basically no tasks to do, and a C-level task is rushed to do. Besides, you are a blood step......"

Mian Ma listened to the voice, and turned to look at the future fifth generation of Mizukage curiously-

He is tall and tall, with long curly brown hair overlapping at his side, and his green eyes are slightly smiling, but his right eye is hidden under his bangs, which is curious.

The current Terumi is not as mature and charming as she appeared ten years later in the original book, and her eighteen-year-old face is full of youthful atmosphere.

Mianma didn't expect such a coincidence, and now he has the opportunity to meet this future Mizukage.

Hurriedly interjected:

"Kirihira-sama, is this Lord a powerful ninja? I'm worried about the safety of my group right now, and I'd like to hire some ninjas from adults. ”

Hearing the sound of the numb face, Kiri Hei and Terumi's gaze fell on him.

Zhao Meiming looked at the numbness of her face, her eyes lit up, and she said secretly,

[What a handsome guy, I don't know if I have a girlfriend.] ]

Wu Ping carefully looked at the numbness of his face, and then said perfunctorily:

"Ah, Terumi is the upper ninja of our Fog Hidden Village, a genius blood ninja, if you need to hire her, it would be good to issue a C-level mission, and you can talk about the specific remuneration yourself."

In his heart, Wuping attributed the numbness to the uprising of seeing the color, and he didn't care much about it. Tasks earned for nothing, don't be in vain, after all, the ninja takes the task in him, and he also has a commission.

As soon as Terumi heard that there was a task, she suddenly said softly to the other side:

"Handsome guy, if you just want to hire me to protect you before you leave the Water Country, 30,000 taels a day would be fine, it would be a C-level mission." (C-level mission, personal mission, no ninja involved, salary 10,000 to 50,000 taels)

The face is happy in his heart, and being able to contact it means that there is hope, and he said happily:

"No problem, Lord Kirihei, I'm going to issue a mission, let Terumi Ming escort our caravan back to the country of waves, the mission starts today, and in the country of water these days, I will also have to worry about Lord Ran's protection."

As he spoke, he took out 200,000 from the box that Wuping had just handed over and handed it back to Wuping.

Wuping nodded, lowered his head and recorded this mission on the scroll, which can be regarded as a record.

After completing the formalities, Mian Ma and Terumi walked out of the task handover hall and happened to meet the foreman of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Lord Rukawa Kaede, the goods have been handed over to the fog hide, what else do you need?" The foreman asked, bowing.

He commanded the foreman:

"Let some of the brothers go back to the hotel with me, and you and the other go to Yongdou to see if he needs help."

After the confession, he led Zhaomei Ming and a group of people towards the hotel.

Walking on the road, Mian Ma looked at the lifeless street next to him, and asked curiously about Mei Ming:

"Lord Zhaomei, this is my first time in Wuyin Village, why does this look like this, why do you not come out of the door?"

Terumi covered her mouth and smiled:

"Handsome guy, just call me Zhaomeiming, you are the employer."

Then his tone changed, quite unhappy and with a hint of helplessness:

"Before the Third Ninja World War, it wasn't like this, alas, the current ninja village is no longer the foggy village full of laughter in the past."

After that, he kept his mouth shut.

Mianma knew that this was the impact of the four generations of Mizukage being controlled by Obito, and the scene in front of him was the epitome of the Land of Blood Mist, everyone was busy fighting for power and profit for themselves, and no one cared about the life or death of the village.

Obito controls the four generations of Mizukage who are busy killing people everywhere to avenge Rin, the Elders of the Fog Hide are busy fighting for the vacated spots, and the Blood Clan is busy rebelling to get rid of the control of the village. This series of "sharp" operations made it difficult for ordinary ninjas to even take on tasks, and civilians could not even survive with food and clothing, who cared what the village looked like.

The face was numb as if sighing:

"Alas, although the village of waves is not as big as here, it is much more lively than here."

Terumi's eyes flickered, and she didn't continue to talk.
