When the continuous rain continued to fall, and the "Taki Shinobi", who had successfully robbed a village, returned to their base camp with a relaxed mentality, discussing with each other where to have fun again, they suddenly found that the leading employer paused.

"Captain, what's wrong?" A ninja with a takishinobi forehead around his neck asked with a big grin.

During the employment period, the employer requires everyone to call him Captain.

The employer, dressed all in black and showing only a pair of eyes, trembled and stretched out his finger to point forward.

The inquiring ninja looked over, his gaze frozen, and the bombed-out lobby looked like a ruin.

He immediately rushed over like crazy: "My money!? ”

For a while, the ninjas trembled and looked at the unobstructed lobby after being dug up, with desperate and sad expressions.

Their packages are all gone!

"Those three bastards ran away!?" There are ninjas jumping to their feet in anger.

"Traitor!"

"A bastard with a thousand cuts!"

The employer frowned tightly and ignored these remarks, he kept his henchmen in the base camp every time, to prevent the worst things like running away with money, and the situation at the scene was more like a battle broke out, and then the body was destroyed.

He tried to determine exactly what had happened based on the traces of the scene, but there were only explosions and cracks on the ground, and nothing could be seen except that a fierce battle had broken out here.

The trail has been so thoroughly destroyed that tracking is probably impossible.

When the employer pondered with a calm face, his mercenary came up and asked, "Captain, what should I do, do you have a word?" ”

"Yes, the money is all gone, so many days have been in vain." Others chimed in.

When the employer heard this, he had no choice but to turn to everyone and said, "I can guarantee that it was definitely not the three of them who ran away, the traces here indicate that they must have experienced a terrorist attack, and may have died without a body." ”

The mercenaries looked at each other: "What about our money?" ”

Why is it that the focus of these guys is always on money, without a little conviction...... The employer gritted his teeth secretly, but he also knew that the mercenaries were a group of mercenary hyenas, and if he didn't think about how to make up for the lost money, these people could eat him alive as a captain.

Under the unfriendly gaze of the mercenaries, the employer thought about it and said slowly: "Go and do a big job, the original plan is about to attack the town, you might as well advance it, all the spoils of this attack will be yours, and the hiring fee will be doubled." ”

Suddenly, a few mercenaries suddenly showed a cruel smile, they had long been fed up with the gradual attacks of their employers, and they wished that they would go to the field as soon as possible, and some of the mercenaries were secretly afraid, thinking that such an attack on the town where the civilians were located would be retaliated by Yuyin Village to the greatest extent.

But in the end, no one objected.

They're going to get back more money than they lost!

…………

In the cave, Xie Mao applied medicine to his right chest, and then completed the not-so-good-looking bandage, and then tried to raise his arm to judge the condition of the injury.

Soon Xie Mao determined the current situation, the right half of the upper limb was still a little painful when moving, and it was not flexible enough, and it would be easy to suffer if he wrestled with the enemy.

In addition, his legs are still a little stiff, and theoretically he can recover with just two days of rest, but now he will drag Xie Mao down.

Fortunately, Xie Mao is a puppeteer, and his injuries have little impact on the puppeteer's technique, and even a small recovery of half a day can not affect the battle at all.

After bandaging it, Xie Mao put away his loot one by one, and then took out his puppet to repair the damage caused by the previous battle as much as possible.

Most of the puppeteers' strength is concentrated on the puppets, and the current Xie Mao is no exception, if there is no place to repair the puppets, and there is a mistake during the battle, he has no place to cry.

On this mission, he deliberately brought all the repair tools and replacement parts, and it would not take too long to repair the puppet, and when it was probably repaired, Xie Mao checked them one by one and put them away one by one, and then put on all kinds of waterproof clothes, and his figure suddenly developed horizontally, and he was a lot bloated.

He extinguished his torch and walked out of the hole, discerning his direction before running towards the place where the mercenaries had first encountered Jiraiya.

It was a whimsical thing to find a shinobi proficient in anti-tracking in the rain country in the rain country alone, and in Xie Mao's memories, the group of mercenaries had to take shit luck to meet Jiraiya, rather than relying on tracking methods.

Therefore, the original plan of the Sand Hidden Village was to rely on the intelligence network of the Rain Hidden Village, and even use the rain to consume the Lai Ye in advance, and they would take advantage of the fisherman.

It's a pity that the current situation has become particularly strange, first the mercenary disguised as "Taki Shinobi" with an inexplicable and unknown purpose, and then the undercover agent sent by Sand Shinobi in Yuyin Village lost contact and did not provide more information.

In such a situation, Xie Mao didn't need to ask to know that if he could find Jiraiya without relying on Yu Ren and by himself, the first part of the task would be perfectly concluded.

Even, even if the task performance in the second part is worse and unsatisfactory, Xie Mao can also be promoted to Zhongnin by finding Jiraiya's outstanding performance.

As for how to find Jilaiye, Xie Mao's idea couldn't be clearer.

At this time, the rain in the sky subsided, turning into a light rain that only the skin could clearly feel, Xie Mao, who was originally running wildly on the water, paused his steps and looked up at the sky that was not yet noon.

After a while, even the rain was gone, and the sun shone slightly through the dark clouds, shining on Xie Mao's raised face, glowing with a faint light.

It rains all year round, but it is not covered by rain forever, and according to the civilians of the Rain Country, the sky occasionally loathes dark clouds and rain in favor of sunshine.

This partial rain stop usually lasts for most of the day, and it is the most popular time for the people of the Land of Rain, so they can walk outside the house without putting on a waterproof cloak or a coat and enjoy the light of the sun.

Many people believe that the period when the rain stops is the luckiest time, and that doing anything can do more with less and reap the rewards.

"It's rare." Xie Mao sighed, then frowned and touched the slightly uncomfortable heart before continuing to walk with his head down.

More than half an hour later, Xie Mao met a caravan, and the merchants of the Land of Rain, who were in a good mood, also gave a pair of waterproof gloves after Xie Mao finished shopping.

Xie Mao, who was holding to see if there was any, put on gloves and picked up the cane he had just bought.

In the Land of Rain, people with joint diseases abound, which greatly increased the demand for canes, and they can also be used to poke sewers or measure the depth of water, which is very useful and marketable, so it can only be sold in caravans.

The reason why Xie Mao bought a cane was mainly because his heart ached faintly after a while, and his legs, especially the Achilles tendon, were swollen and painful.

After being severely injured by Lei Dun, he obviously had a lot of damage in various parts of his body, but fortunately, his physical fitness was relatively strong, and he was protected by chakra, and now the pain was still bearable, but he couldn't maintain the transformation technique anymore.

It's hard...... Xie Mao was assisted by a cane, slowed down slightly and ran for nearly an hour, and finally arrived at the target location.

It was an uninhabited muddy area, but the ruins of a house fell into the clearing, and it was a relatively rare wooden house in the Land of Rain.

This is the former base of Jiraiya, Yahiko, Nagato and Konan, which has now been destroyed by ninjutsu.

Xie Mao stood in front of the ruins of the house, carefully circled, and after observing for a long time, he saw a row of white hairs stuck in a piece of moldy and rotten wood.

If other ninjas looked at it, they probably wouldn't pay attention to this kind of thing at all, but Xie Mao knew that this was a ninjutsu that Jiraiya had strained his hair and then shot like a thousand bones.

At this moment, these hairs were really three points into the wood, but the exposed ones had softened, and it took Xie Mao some time to pluck a few and wrap them around the cane.

Even without these hairs, Xie Mao could open the ruins and find the daily necessities that the four of them had negligently taken away, and they could also complete divination.

Xie Mao's painting style is not the same as that of ninjas, there are auxiliary skills such as divination, and when the enemy will not counter-divination, Xie Mao is invincible.

It's really easy to think that divination is omnipotent...... Xie Mao sighed slightly in his heart, and was about to close his eyes to try divination, when his inspiration suddenly moved.

He subconsciously stopped his movements, quietly pinched his eyebrows to open the spiritual vision, and then looked left and right slightly.

In the next moment, Xie Mao's gaze couldn't help but freeze.

In the distance, he saw a small, toad-like aura color.

As if sensing Xie Mao's gaze, the toad, which had half of its head exposed, shrank its head and dived into the water and disappeared.

This...... Xie Mao couldn't help frowning.

Others may think that this is just an ordinary toad, but Xie Mao knows that it is Ziraiya's eyeliner.

He still left eyeliner at his abandoned base?
