Chapter 29: The Sorrow of a Small State
After a burst of breaking sound.
The two ninja squads that were fighting appeared in front of the Orochimaru team, and from a distance of hundreds of meters, they all looked at the Orochimaru led by the team, their eyes full of fear.
The reason is also very simple, such as a ninja of Orochimaru's level, which is enough to affect the direction of a war.
And the two ninjas who stayed by Orochimaru's side were obviously from the famous family Hinata, and they had the white eyes of the blood inheritance limit. Therefore, until the intentions of the Orochimaru team were not clear, they did not dare to act rashly.
While being watched by the two ninja teams, Hinata Kaede rolled her eyes and looked at the two teams opposite.
Through the forehead guards and the clothes on their bodies, it was easy to tell that this was the troops of Sha Yin and Yun Yin, and it should be the mistaken entry of himself and others, and the battle between them was stopped.
After a short moment of confrontation, Orochimaru squinted his eyes slightly and said coldly: "If I remember correctly, this should be in the territory of the Fire Country, and you are fighting here, are you openly provoking Konoha Ninja Village?" ”
"Absolutely not."
The female shinobi led by Sha Yin stepped forward and said: "Orochimaru Shinobi, we only accidentally set foot on the territory of the Fire Country in order to repel the invaders of Yunyin, if there is any offense, I will immediately leave your land with my subordinates." ”
After a pause, the orange-haired female Shangnin continued: "However, please also ask you to expel Yun Yin with you, so that we can continue to teach these Yun Ren a lesson." ”
Orochimaru didn't take the conversation, but looked away and looked towards Yun Shinobi.
After being swept away by the snake's eyes, the cloud ninjas were all like great enemies, and the name of the three ninjas was at first a humiliation to Orochimaru and others, but with the performance of the three ninjas during the war, the name of the three ninjas became louder and louder.
Therefore, even the arrogant Yun Ren had to lower his proud head and apologize.
Seeing that Orochimaru didn't speak, after Sand Shinobi and Yun Ren glanced at each other, they were both unwilling to retreat towards the border, if they annoyed Orochimaru, it would be difficult for them to retreat with their whole body.
Orochimaru had no intention of pursuing, but waited until both Sand Shinobi and Yun Shinobi disappeared from view, and asked Hinata Kaede, "Kaede-kun, did they leave obediently?" ”
Hinata Kaede shook her head and said what she saw.
"No, they fought again before they left the border, but the scale of the fight was much smaller than before."
After a slight groan, Hinata Kaede then asked, "Orochimaru-sama, who are they, they look very strong!" How can you fight in the territory of the Fire Country, and will there be a conspiracy in it? ”
Hinata Kaede has such a guess that is very reasonable.
The Land of Wind and the Land of Thunder face each other across the sea, and the area of battle should be on the other side of the continent, not the hinterland of the continent near the Country of Grass, with several small countries fighting in between, and the supply line alone will be very long.
If it's just to destroy the town behind the sand, it makes sense.
But Hinata Kaede always felt that things were not so simple, and Yun Yin's deliberate act of choosing the location in the land of fire may be an attempt to pull Konoha Hidden Village, which was watched from the wall, into the muddy waters of war.
And the behavior of the sand is also suspicious, and they only met a group of sand hidden spies disguised as wandering ninjas a few days ago.
Orochimaru's face sank, and he didn't reply to Hinata Kaede's words, and continued to carry out the mission with the team.
Due to the previous encounter with Sand Shinobi and Cloud Ninja, the Orochimaru team did not choose to move forward in a straight line, but only entered the territory of the Grass Country after sparing a large circle.
After entering the territory of the country of grass, Hinata Kaede and Megumi felt desolate.
Whether it is a town or a village, the scale is much worse than that of the Fire Country, and there are often wandering ninjas who haunt it, and most of the people are yellow-faced and thin-skinned.
Compared to Konoha Hidden Village, Grass Hidden Village is more like a real village, with only a few thousand people in the entire village.
After the guard at the gate saw Konoha protecting his forehead, he didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly went to inform the leader of Caoyin Village.
Thinking that in the history of the ninja world, it was recorded that the country of grass was once the number one power in the continent, but now it has become like this, Hinata Kaede couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Soon, the leader of Grass Hidden Village welcomed the Great Snake Pill team to the Grass Hidden Building and talked about the defense agreement.
At this time, Kaede understood what the task they were really carrying out, such as a famous shinobi like Orochimaru, it was naturally impossible to carry out the task of clearing out wandering ninjas.
The real task of their trip was to sign an alliance agreement with Caoyin Village, and Hinata Kaede also glanced at the content of the agreement.
To put it simply, if either side of Kusakure and Konoha is attacked by enemy ninjas, the other side must join the war unconditionally and fight off the enemy together.
Overall, this agreement is mutually beneficial for both parties.
Konoha needs the village to act as a buffer zone between the village and the village, so that the village can avoid the tragedy of being annexed by the village, but this is not without conditions.
Caoyin Village needs to pay half of the task delegation as the price of signing the agreement.
As the leader of a village, the leader of the grass is also cautious when dealing with Orochimaru, and he does not dare to offend in the slightest, which may be the sorrow of the small country ninja village.
The small countries in the ninja world are also mostly like this, except for the Yuyin Village where the 'demigod' Sanshoyu Hanzo is located.
The powerful ninja who gave him the name of the Three Ninjas, who almost single-handedly saved the Land of Rain in the last ninja war, might be able to protect himself and transform the deformed caged bird system.
The Orochimaru team stayed in Kusakain Village for a total of three days, and Hinata Kaede also secretly collected a lot of information.
On the evening of the third day, Orochimaru's team hurriedly left Caoyin Village and hurried all the way back to the village.
But not long after leaving Caoyin Village, Hinata Kaede stopped and looked at Orochimaru: "Orochimaru teacher, there are enemies behind us who have been following us, keeping a distance of about three kilometers, and the chakra of several of them is very familiar, and it should be one of the two groups of ninjas I met not long ago." ”
Orochimaru glanced at the forest behind him: "Speed up and see if you can get rid of them." ”
Hinata Kaede looked solemn and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult, one of them seems to have the ability to fly, and he also has a sentient ninja." ”
Hearing this, both Orochimaru and Megumi Hinata frowned.
There are not many ninjas in the ninja world who have the ability to fly, and even fewer can fly with their own abilities, and their strength is quite strong.
For example, the missing three generations of Kazekage, as well as the three generations of Iwakure Tokage Onoki, are all ninjas at the top of the ninja world.
In the face of an enemy of this level, even if it is as strong as Orochimaru, it is difficult to protect itself, could it be that Iwakuin has long planned to start a war against the Land of Fire, so he must dispose of Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, in advance.
But if something happens to Onoki, Iwakure Village will fall into the same chaotic situation as Sagakure.
