17, blood-stained sand hidden village
Early the next morning, the puppet and Luan set off for Shayin Village again.
Unlike before, they didn't use it today, but flew in the air with open arms.
Luan once again used the Wind Escape Ninjutsu that he had used last time in the Oasis - allowing the caster to control the air flow at will and soar freely in the air like a bird.
Today's wind is blowing in the direction of Sand Ninja Village, so they can experience the feeling of flying in the wind once.
And the only thing that can't be avoided is the scorching and painful sunshine.
The speed of flying is not known how many times faster than walking, and the puppet lies on Luan and looks around, and after a while, he sees the wheels of some buildings appear in the skyline in the distance.
"I can see it! That's the village of Shayin. ”
The puppet immediately asked Luan to lower his height, and he knew that an unguarded secret entrance was the secret passage that Terashima used to walk during his lifetime.
Soon, the two landed on the ground smoothly.
Like a huge roulette wheel nestled in the middle of the desert, the village extends in all directions, surrounded by cliffs, occupying an excellent geographical advantage, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Relying on the memories of Terashima's life, the puppet came to the foot of an inconspicuous hillside, raised his hand and made a few seals, and soon, a hidden stone door slowly opened downward.
This is an emergency secret passage that leads directly into the interior of the Sand Hidden Village, and is rarely used in normal times.
The puppet and Luan glanced at each other, and then went in one after the other.
Immediately after, the slate door closed automatically, and after passing through the dark and narrow passageway, the two soon came to the exit.
"Open."
The puppet sealed again, the exit of this secret passage is located in the underground of Shayin Village, and the two of them came out of the secret passage and walked up the stairs, and soon came to the ground.
"Huh? What people?! ”
Suddenly, a scolding came from behind him, and the puppet secretly said that it was not good, and just as he was about to touch the kunai on his waist, he was pressed on the shoulder by a big hand.
"Wait, you're ...... Terashima? ”
The person who spoke was a tall Ninja of the Sand Hidden Village, and after hesitating for a moment, the puppet quickly adjusted his emotions, turned around and smiled at the ninja:
"Ah...... Long time no see, hahaha. ”
I saw the ninja's suspicious gaze sweeping over him: "Didn't you go out on a mission, how did you sneak out of the secret passage......"
Before he could finish speaking, the ninja suddenly rolled his eyes and fell to the ground and passed out.
I saw Luan standing behind with a sharp iron weapon, she had a careful eye just now, and she didn't come out with the puppet.
"Anyway...... Where is this? ”
Looking around, they seemed to be in the interior of a building at this time, with small windows and thick, solid walls made of adobe.
The puppet began to search his memory, and it turned out that this was the temporary communication room of the Intelligence Department.
Just as he was about to open the door and go out, Luan suddenly grabbed him, and then used his transformation technique to help him change his outfit - his original ninja suit was from another country.
She herself changed into a set of clothes for ordinary residents of Shayin Village, and looked like a cute girl next door.
……
Walking on the lively streets of Shayin Village, the puppet people have an extremely unnatural feeling.
He was used to loneliness, and before Luan was born, he was always alone, alone in a daze, alone in hunting, and alone licking his wounds.
In ten years, he had never faced so many unfamiliar faces so calmly, and from time to time he had to stiffen out a smile to say hello to someone who recognized him.
Curious, nervous, envious, uneasy.
All kinds of emotions are intertwined in the depths of the puppet's heart, like a mess.
At this moment, a girl with short shoulder-length hair, different eyes, and a gloomy face passed by the puppet.
The puppet didn't notice her, and Luan was staring intently at the snacks on the street.
Suddenly, the girl with different eyes stopped, and her half-red and half-brown eyes slowly looked back.
The gaze was as sharp as a knife, like countless steel needles, stabbing at the puppets not far away one by one.
The puppet suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that the girl with different eyes had already disappeared in place.
……
In the Erle Noodle Restaurant, Luan devoured the twelfth bowl of noodles before he could barely make his stomach stop protesting.
The puppet sat aside, counting the change in his pocket in distress, and Luan almost spent his budget for nearly three days in this meal.
"Why don't those ninjas bring more money with them, the income from this business is really unstable, it's better to go to the funeral home."
After complaining a few words about the difficulties of life, Luan raised his hand and asked for a bowl of noodles.
"Don't eat it anymore, it's a faint soul! If I eat your master again, I will be forced to wash the dishes and pay back!! ”
The puppet pinched Luan's little face and scolded frantically.
The sun was shining, and heat waves swept through the village one after another, and the sun shone mercilessly on every corner that could not be covered by shadows.
Walking out of the noodle shop, Luan burped unsatisfactorily, and when she passed a stall selling rock sugar gourds, she immediately tugged at the puppeteer's sleeve with bright eyes.
"Ahh......h
But when she saw the devil's fierce eyes, she was so frightened that she swallowed the words that came to her lips again.
After that, they surveyed almost all the corners of Shayin Village, asked around for news, and when they returned to the front of this noodle shop again, it was already evening.
Luan looked up, an unknown white bird soared in the sky, the sun was setting, and the surrounding buildings were covered in a layer of golden gauze.
"What's that? This one-tailed human pillar force is the Wind Shadow?! ”
Just now, because I didn't find out anything after a day of inquiry, the puppet made a decision to use an epic item that could directly obtain any information: [Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy]
Unlike before, this item can be used three times in a row and is a treasure that the puppeteer obtains after completing a limited-time mission.
Then, he obtained the information that a human pillar is a wind shadow and that there is still a tailed beast living in his body.
What's the fun here? Hurry up and run away!
Although he didn't have a clear understanding of the tailed beast, he still knew what level of existence the five shadows in the five great kingdoms were.
In short, it's a sentence: can't be provoked.
The system actually wants him to steal a shadow-level thing, doesn't it make it clear that he is carrying a dung load into the latrine - looking for?
Thinking of this, the puppet mentioned Luan and was about to leave here.
Although I have been on the road for so many days in vain, at least I want to give my life here, okay?
However, just as they were about to return to the vicinity of the makeshift communication room they had been before, an unusual roar suddenly rang out.
The roar was so penetrating that it could be heard clearly across the street, and before the pedestrians on the street could react, an extremely exaggerated python burst out of the ground and bit something in the sky.
If you look closely, it is actually the big white bird that Luan Fang just saw, but its speed is extremely fast, and the giant python pounced into the air, fell back to the ground, and smashed a bunch of houses.
"What's the situation, again?!"
The puppet really thinks that he has not been possessed by a declining god recently, how can he encounter monsters everywhere he goes!
Fortunately, the temporary communication room is close at hand, and as long as you leave this village, you don't have to worry about your life for the time being.
However.
In the next second, a centipede large enough to swallow an entire house in one gulp slowly moved its massive body, leveling the makeshift communication room to the ground by the way.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
For a while, the whole village was in chaos, and the ninjas set out collectively to evacuate the panicked crowd in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, an explosion was heard, and several huge pillars of sand rose into the sky in the center of the village not far away, scattering in all directions in the air.
The puppet had no idea what was going on, and at this moment, Deidara, who was riding a big white bird in the sky, was also confused.
"Damn...... Where did all this stuff come from?! ”
Deidara was almost chewing clay, but these creatures were not at the same level as the worm he had encountered before, and his art exploded on them, and it didn't hurt at all.
And they all seem to have a grudge against themselves, and they have been staring at him since just now.
Deidara thought for a moment, then slowly reached into the pocket around her waist.
"Looks like it's time to come up with that killer feature...... Well. ”
