Xie Mao went home and sorted out all kinds of ninja equipment, and rechecked the puppets and spare parts to bring, and even the repair tools.

When a puppeteer is out and about, he naturally needs to bring as many types of puppets as he can with him, such as turret puppets that move slowly but store a large number of hidden weapons, such as puppets that can capture others.

In the end, Xie Mao put on a black ninja costume and was ready to go.

"I don't know where this mission will go, depending on what Ye Cang means, I'm afraid it's not in the country of the wind."

"If you run to a big country like the land of fire or the country of earth, the risk factor is definitely not low."

"After all, what is it for me to be assigned a difficult task as a middle ninja exam? Are the village leaders so confident in me? ”

Xie Mao didn't understand it very well, but since Chiyo didn't explain the problem, Xie Mao had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Although this task is bound to be dangerous, Xie Mao is not afraid to take risks, and after weighing the pros and cons, Xie Mao decided to face it calmly.

On top of that, he did a divination and got a result that was not dangerous.

When Xie Mao went out with his bag on his back, a blazing wind blew on his face, and then Ye Cang appeared beside him and asked, "Are you ready?" ”

Xie Mao didn't answer, he looked left and right, and asked rhetorically, "What about Grandma Chiyo?" ”

"She still has work to do, let me tell you, be careful." Hakura said, thinking of the exchange with Chiyo not long ago.

It's not so much that I'm busy with work, but rather that I'm reluctant to say goodbye to my grandson.

"That's right." Xie Mao retracted his gaze and said, "Then I'm ready." ”

Ye Cang ran to the gate of Shayin Village without any delay: "Then let's set off now." ”

Xie Mao took a light breath and stepped forward to follow.

The two soon arrived at the gate, and after queuing for a while, Ye Cang handed over the entry and exit permits, and then successfully walked out of the village with Xie Mao.

"Let's talk about the mission." Xie Mao said after Ye Cang.

"First of all, the map." Ye Cang threw a map to Xie Mao and said, "This map includes as much detailed information as possible about the Land of Rain, which was collected during the Second Ninja World War, and is somewhat different from the current Country of Rain, but it is certainly not big, you can use it as a reference." ”

"The target of our mission is the Land of Rain?" Xie Mao frowned.

The country of rain has never been an existence to be messed with.,There's Sansho fish Hanzo in the front.,There's the whirlpool orphan Nagato in the back.,All of them are extremely powerful.,The existence of being able to be a big boss.。

In addition, the weather in the Land of Rain is also very different from the Country of Wind, the perennial rain has formed a special social structure and ninja composition in the Land of Rain, a large number of ninjas who are good at escaping in the water are really like fish in water in the Land of Rain, and ninjas from other villages must first adapt to the abnormal environment to the Land of Rain.

The most important thing is that at this time period, Madara Uchiha, who is paying attention to Nagato, is not dead!

"Yes."

Ye Cang replied in the affirmative, and immediately began to introduce the task:

"The origin of this mission is that our intelligence officers discovered the personal disciple of the three generations of Hokage, and one of the three ninjas, Jirai, did not return to Konoha Hidden Village with the other two, and the last time he appeared in the public eye, he was located in the Land of Rain, so we suspect that Konoha may have an additional conspiracy in the Land of Rain, and your priority is to pursue Jiraiya, find him, and discover their plot."

Self-lai, too? Land of Rain?

At this time, Jiraiya is also teaching the Nagato trio in the country of rain.

The more Xie Mao listened, the more strange he became, and said: "Since he can be regarded as an elite in the upper ninja, I may die as soon as I meet him." ”

Xie Mao was wondering why he would use such an overly dangerous task as a Zhongnin exam.

"Do you know what your examiner team is?" Ye Cang did not answer the rhetorical question.

Xie Mao raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head.

Chiyo didn't tell him that he would know his lineup of examiners.

Ye Cang showed a little confident smile and said, "Including me, there are a total of three Shangnin!" ”

“？？？” Xie Mao's eyes widened in surprise, "So many? ”

Each upper ninja is already considered a high-level in the village, and it is the highest level except for Shadow, even if most of them are not directly involved in the decision-making of the village, but they are all ninjas who can directly talk to Shadow and have a lot of right to speak, such as the election of each ninja village shadow, which requires a collective vote by upper ninja.

Unlike the lower ninja, who need to pass the exam to become a middle ninja, the promotion of the middle ninja to the upper ninja is generally directly promoted by the shadow of each ninja village, and after completing a certain number of tasks, the shadow will comprehensively consider all aspects of the ability to promote, and the ninjas who can become the upper ninja are all powerful existences.

It can be said that the upper ninja group is the real pillar of every ninja village, and it is they who hold up the façade of the ninja village.

There are not many upper ninjas in each ninja village, and this time as the task of the middle ninja exam, the village actually sent three upper ninjas, what is this going to do!?

Soon, Xie Mao thought of a terrible guess: "You guys, plan to kill Jiraiya?" ”

"That's right!" Ye Cang's tone became solemn and cold, "Since one person stays outside and is given the opportunity, we won't miss it." ”

Hiss ~ good guys...... Xie Mao thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't you worried that it's a trap?" ”

"There have been such considerations, but the ninjas of the Land of Rain will explore the way for us first." Ye Cang said coldly.

"We're working with the Land of Rain?"

"Not exactly, remember what I told you about the special information I received this morning?" Ye Cang saw Xie Mao nodding, so he continued, "That special information is that the ninjas of Yuyin Village seem to have found clues to Jiraiya and have already sent troops. ”

"We're going to find Jiraiya before they do?" Xie Mao didn't have to think about it to know that it was too late to do this, Yu Ren had already grasped the clues, and he was in his home field, how could he be faster than them.

"Yes, there are our people in the rain ninja, and the self is not an easy guy to deal with, so we can use the rain ninja as a pawn for temptation." Ye Cang said coldly.

This is a revenge against Konoha Hidden Village!

In terms of Konoha, the already tacit understanding between Shayin Village and Yuyin Village can reach a better cooperation, but it can't be too blatant.

It's a tiger's mouth...... Xie Mao asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Shayin Village obviously had a complete plan, and Xie Mao didn't know what else he could do.

"As I said before, if Jiraiya can always hide in the Land of Rain, then his concealment ability must be very strong, and we can't completely count on Rain Shinobi, so the first part of your mission is to pursue Jiraiya."

"In this regard, we know that you won't have too much experience, but you have a special advantage." Ye Cang smiled strangely when he said this.

"What?" Xie Mao had some bad premonitions.

"Your reputation as a genius has spread, at least in the surrounding countries, so you can use it as bait to attract Zilai to attack you." Ye Cang smiled and joked sideways, with Jiraiya's caution, this possibility will not be too great, and it is a strategy that will only be used after you can't find the other party.

…… Thank you!

The corner of Xie Mao's eyes twitched, and he heard Ye Cang continue: "Moreover, I believe in your divination." ”

I didn't expect you to be so receptive to divination...... Xie Mao thought about it and guessed: "Anyway, the level of the task involving Jiraiya is still too high, what I can do is very limited, and the danger is not too high, in order to test me, I have to face more difficult tests." ”

Xie Mao's guess was for a reason, from Ye Cang's words before, Xie Mao could feel that the village was like hindering his promotion, and he wanted to raise the difficulty of the assessment.

"You're very sensible, this sanity plus your strength, I definitely don't mind you becoming a middle ninja."

Ye Cang praised and said: "The matter about Zilai is only the first part of the task, and the key to the assessment is actually in the second part. Think about it, what would you face if you appeared alone in the Land of Rain in the name of a genius? ”

Xie Mao's eyes tightened: "Chase and kill? ”

"Yes, the second part of the mission is Battle Royale, you have to return from the Land of Rain to the Land of Wind in the pursuit, we will only help you intercept the famous Shinobi, as for the other ninjas, you need to face it yourself." Ye Cang said solemnly, obviously knowing how difficult it was.

And Xie Mao, he was stunned.

Shayin Village really doesn't treat him as a person!

Is it too late to defect now?

In the Land of Rain Battle Royale, how could he be virtuous, if he had known that it was this kind of mission, he would definitely not accept it.

He is not afraid to take risks, but that doesn't mean he's willing to die!
