Chapter Forty-Six: The Icy Vein

Hoshino Mu looked at the appearance of the person in front of him, and his heart skipped a pound and almost disconnected.

"Orochimaru!"

"Looks like you know me~"

Orochimaru stretched out his snake-like tongue and licked it around his lips, "But I don't remember seeing you." ”

"Your appearance, as a qualified ninja, is normal to know."

Orochimaru chuckled and didn't speak, getting up from the samurai armor in front of him.

Hoshino Maki's puppet was hidden in armor and placed in his living room.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Orochimaru shook his head, a hint of frenzy flashed in his eyes: "I'm just a little curious, how did you transfer your spirit from thousands of miles away to Konoha?" This technique combined with the appearance of humanoid skin, it is a very promising ninjutsu~"

Hoshino Mu felt a pang in his heart, and let this experimental maniac focus on his words, but he would continue to be in trouble in the future, and hurriedly said haha: "It's all some small tricks that don't go into the stream, it's similar to the heart turning technique of the mountain clan, but their ninjutsu is much better than mine, you might as well ask them." ”

Orochimaru smiled and didn't speak, Hoshino felt that he should remind Danzou to hide himself in a safe position, he didn't want this puppet to have only a head left when he woke up next time.

At this moment, the grille door outside the house was opened, and Tuan Zang still had a Sima face, hiding his thin body in a wide plain robe.

"Hokage-sama."

Hoshino Mu bowed slightly.

Danzou frowned, "I've said it many times, the Hokage is in the Hokage Building, put away your damn divisive scheme!" ”

Hoshino smiled apologetically.

The old thing says that every time, and I've never seen you really angry.

"Lord Tuanzang, there is bad news, Sand Shinobi is ready to send troops."

"What?!"

For the first time, Tuan Zang's face fluctuated violently since he entered the door.

"Those old antiques would dare..."

Tuan Zang seemed to think of something, and looked at Hoshino Mu with a murderous face: "It's you who are making trouble, right?" ”

Hoshino Maki spread his hands, very aggrieved like an MVP: "After I told the elders the information, I also stated to them the idea of not moving, but Raksha and Orange Juro both insisted that Chiyo-sama has always been hostile to Konoha because of Aiko, so I can't refute her decision, right?" ”

Danzang's breathing became heavy, and he snorted coldly: "This can't be done, that can't be done, you still want to be a wind shadow?" ”

"My lord, it's because I'm soft-spoken that I need the support of adults~"

Tuan Zang was resisted by the other party's words, choking on his chest for a long time and unable to speak.

But I have to say that Hoshino Mu is already his highest-level intelligence source in Shayin Village, and coupled with the unique management system of Shayin Village, it is really difficult to let the other party influence the decision-making of the Council of Elders.

"I warn you, don't play tricks."

In the end, Tuan Zang could only leave behind a weak and cruel sentence.

"My lord, look at what you said, I still count on you to help me become the Wind Shadow."

Hoshino said with a smile, and then glanced at Orochimaru.

Danzang noticed his gaze and spoke quietly: "Orochimaru, you go back to the laboratory first." ”

Orochimaru didn't say much, smiled at Hoshino Muki, and nodded yes.

Hoshino Mu knew that this was actually covering his ears and stealing the bell, but as a 007, he still had to be cautious.

Waiting for Orochimaru to go out, Hoshino Maki said in a low voice: "The Elder Council is ready to let Luo Sha lead the troops, and the direction of the attack is not clear. ”

Tuan Zang touched his chin, Luo Sha is the first person in the young generation in Shayin Village, and sending Luo Sha to lead the troops must be a force that cannot be ignored.

"My lord, I don't know how the injury of Watergate is healing, with him, Luo Sha shouldn't be a problem."

Tuan Zang glanced at the other party: "Luo Sha's injury is not yet good, but his love for the village can allow him to overcome all difficulties." ”

Hoshino Mu nodded, seeing that it was almost good, then he couldn't let Watergate go to the western front.

"What about the Autumn Road Dingza, Pig Deer Butterfly defends the western front, and Luo Sha is also difficult to deal with."

Danzou stared at Hoshino Mu: "You seem to be very interested in Konoha's defense?" ”

Hoshino Mu nodded very generously: "Lord Tuanzang, Luo Sha sent troops to Konoha, once he succeeds, there are few factors that can prevent him from taking the position, I don't want Konoha to be beaten to the door of the house by Luo Sha, and then return triumphantly and put on the wind shadow robe." ”

Tuan Zang looked into his eyes, and said after half a salary: "No one will hit the door of Konoha Door, Luo Sha doesn't have that ability, I promise." ”

Hoshino Mu nodded, and when it came to the dispute between Konoha and Sand Shinobi, Danzo's tone tightened a lot.

The next words are not nutritious, and since Tuan Zang is alert, it is not good to set up information again.

Hoshino opened his eyes from the bed and sniffed, the familiar smell of heat and dust in the air.

"Did you not close the window yesterday?"

Hoshino Maki got up and closed the window, and saw tumbleweeds trotting over outside the window, sweating profusely and his clothes wet with sweat.

"Your Excellency!"

Tumbleweed pushed open the door and saw a dark shadow flying towards him, he instinctively grabbed it, and the coolness in his hand made him stunned, it turned out to be a cold drink.

"I'll talk about it after drinking."

Tumbleweed didn't say a word, raised his head, and got up tons and tons.

Hoshino Mu shook his head, let you drink it, it's stupid.

Tumbleweed burped and wiped her mouth a little embarrassed.

"My lord, Rosa agreed."

"How's his countenance?"

"Complexion?"

Tumbleweed hesitated, frowning in thought.

"Nothing seems to have changed."

Hoshino Mu nodded, and he asked casually, letting him observe something from Raksha's expression that it was too embarrassing.

"It's okay, you go back to practicing ninjutsu."

"Adult"

Tumbleweed didn't leave, but looked at Hoshino Maki a little timidly.

"If you have something to say, say it."

"Iβ€”Can I still follow you?"

Hoshino Mu stepped forward and rubbed his hair: "If you want to follow me, then you have to work harder." ”

"Hmm!"

Hoshino Mu looked at the other party's excited back and didn't speak, turned around and walked to the mirror, moved his neck, and muttered, "I hate to solve problems by force." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”

At night, with the widespread use of electricity in Shayin Village, the village is no longer dark at night, and the bright light shines through the windows of every house, decorating the village wrapped in windbreak rock is particularly beautiful.

Unfortunately, the sand dunes in the distance are not high enough to see these views.

"You're so early, Lord Rosha."

Hoshino Maki wore a brown cloak and walked slowly, and Raksha was already waiting here.

"Since your eyes are on the position of the Wind Shadow, you don't need to call me sir."

Hoshino Mu nodded: "You don't seem surprised. ”

Luo Sha looked at Hoshino Mu calmly: "Do you know, I met you earlier than you thought, at that time my evaluation of you was a catfish, a catfish that would make waves in the backwater of Shayin Village, but I didn't expect that you would..."

"I'll want to jump through the dragon gate, right?"

Hoshino Maki interrupted him, just like he did when he first appeared at the public trial.

Luo Sha looked at him: "Who is behind you now?" Chiyo or Orange Juro? ”

"Who do you think is behind me?"

Luo Sha looked at Hoshino Mu, who was gradually approaching, and the two looked at each other.

"Behind me can be Orange Juro, Chiyo, or Sand Vulture and those of the Wind Shadow Sect, but what I want most is Sand Hidden Village."

Luo Sha shook his head with some disappointment: "To be honest, I didn't expect such immature words to come from your mouth. ”

Either attached to a certain tribal collective, or become a subordinate of all tribes, this is a model of two or three generations in addition to one generation of wind shadows.

In the leadership of Shayin Village, this model is also the consensus of everyone.

"You're wary of me, aren't you?"

Luo Sha felt that the other party was not telling the truth.

Hoshino Maki stood side by side with him: "Do you think that if you are attached to a certain tribe, it can still be regarded as a real 'shadow'?" I haven't met Liedou-sama, but I've heard that it wasn't like this when Liedou-sama was here, the two sides were on an equal footing, and even he was on the stronger side, so why can't he do it now? ”

"It was a special time when the village was first built, and there is no comparison with what it is now."

"Special times can come again, can't they?"

Luo Sha's gaze suddenly became hostile.

Hoshino Mu felt the other party's gaze and chuckled: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't have the idea of destroying the Sand Hidden Village, what I said about the special period refers to change." ”

"Change?"

"The Council of Elders is a good mode of management, where the elders check and balance each other and bind each other. But the fatal thing is that no one or organization can restrain their exploitation of the lower classes. The unsupervised Council of Elders is like a greedy serpent that devours everything he can devour, commerce, agriculture, military industry, and so on. As long as the industry in the village can make money, it must be the elder's tribe, or the tribe that depends on the elder's control, isn't this form deformed? ”

"Let me tell you something, the birth rate of the civilian population in the village has been negative for five consecutive years, and this is five years without a major war! That's why I want to attract more excellent people to Shayin Village, otherwise there will really be no hope for this village, understand? ”

Luo Sha didn't speak, he looked at the pitch black in front of him, this scene has been like this since he was a child, boy, youth.

People are always changing, and the only constant is this desert.

He remembered his master, a good ninja, who was even far better than himself in his opinion.

He had taken himself through many places in the Land of the Wind, they had found more than a dozen oases, found many ore veins, and Luo Sha still remembered that when they found that huge silver ore vein, the master shed tears of excitement, saying that the people of Shayin Village would have a good life from now on.

It was the first time he had seen his master cry, and the man did not cry when he was pierced in the chest by a sharp blade, but he burst into tears when he saw this cold silver mine.

He didn't understand why the master was crying, and he didn't know why this vein would make the village live a good life.

Especially when the veins were mined and utilized later, until he disappeared, he was still in a state of loss, and did not bring a penny to the village.

Of course, the current Luo Sha knows why the master is crying, and he also knows why the ore vein will lose money for many years, but he still can't understand why the master is so naΓ―ve to think that those people will give the money to the villagers below?

Their greed is written naked on their faces!

Therefore, he has become different, the ore vein is no longer given to the village for free, but is used to trade with the elders, to give himself more power, so although the Wind Shadow faction elected him as the Wind Shadow, he is not a puppet, he is a decision-maker who can participate in the decision-making within the faction.

And he firmly believes that the path he takes is the only way to revitalize Shayin Village.

"Hoshino Makii, maybe what you said makes sense, but I still think that only I can put Shayin Village on the right track."

Luo Sha turned sideways, his gaze cold: "Since you want to compete for the Wind Shadow, let me see if you are qualified first." ”

Hoshino Mu scratched his head and said helplessly, "So... Do you still have to fight, right?,How can it be like the forced plot in the game.,Can't you just keep your mouth shut? ”

Luo Sha couldn't understand the nonsense he said later, and frowned: "If you want to divide the army into two ways, then let me see your strength." The weak are not worthy of leading the sand forbearance. ”

Hoshino Mu nodded, but at the moment he nodded, a sand spike made of golden sand broke out from under his feet!

"Despicable!"

Hoshino Mu jumped to his feet, condemning the other party's immoral behavior while manipulating the puppet that had been lying in ambush under the sand layer for a long time to encircle and suppress Luo Sha.

Two golden sand shields quickly appeared at his side, and the glittering swords on the puppet's body merged with the golden sand, making a sound of metal colliding.

Raksha didn't care about the blade beside him, he had absolute confidence in his shield.

He stretched out his hand and shook it in the direction of Hoshino Makaki, and a huge golden sand palm rose from the ground, quickly enveloping Hoshino Makii.

With a hard press, Jinsha's palm clenched violently, and Luo Sha frowned without the slightest joy.

At this moment, a puppet beside him suddenly let go of the sharp blade in his palm, and stepped forward, his arms like full bowstrings, and took a step forward, slamming his fist into the golden sand shield.

The puppet shattered into countless pieces, and the light blue chakra-wrapped fist under the puppet slammed the shield, and the shield quickly cracked directly around the fist, only blocking it for less than a second, this rock-solid shield was powerless to support, allowing this punch to smash on Luo Sha's body.

Bangβ€”β€”!

Luo Sha, who was hit by his fist, turned into fine sand, and Hoshino Mu was alarmed in his heart, and immediately jumped up and twisted, blocking his arms in front of him.

At his original location, several thin, sharp gold sand cones had pierced into the sand.

Although he was already alert, four or five golden sand cones pierced his arms.

The two regained their distance, and Hoshino pulled out the golden sand cone, and the injury on his arm healed quickly.

"It's really difficult~"

Hoshino Maki sighed.

"I hope you don't make these little gestures when you speak."

Raksha's arms were folded around his chest, and his face was calm, but the shield beside him had been erected, and there were a few linear scratches on it.

"Honestly, you're going to make it hard for me. If the representative of the Wind Shadow Sect is seriously injured, I will be in trouble. ”

Hoshino shook his head, and the wind and sand blew, rolling up his robe, crackling between his bones.

Raksha narrowed his eyes, instinctively sensing danger.

Hoshino Mu raised his head: "Have you heard... Eight Gate Dunjia? ”
