Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Strange Discovery
The land of grass, the Ofushimi grassland.
The breeze rolls green waves, the grassland is dark and fragrant, the red orange is blue and purple, and the leeks are white.
According to the Uchiha family annals, in the era of the nations before the Warring States period, the Kusanokuni region was also a powerful country for a while, and the Kusanokuni samurai riding high-headed horses and wielding scimitars roamed the countries, breaking through the city, and looking at the world, and martial arts were also flourishing for a while. However, after the rise of ninjas, the fighting profession of samurai was swept into the dustbin of history, and the country of grass also declined with the continuous conquest of the great powers, and it was no longer brave and good at fighting, especially after the establishment of the system of the five powers, the country of grass became more capable of singing and dancing, and hospitable.
"Did you find it?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu asked the perceptual ninja next to him.
"Chakra trails have been sensed, and the exact location is being determined!" The sweaty sentient ninja felt Alexander.
"Lord Tokumitsu, with you, those thieves can't escape......" The groveling Kusa Shinobi Village beside him complimented him again and again, but this too vulgar words made people more and more disgusted with it.
"Found it!" The Perception Ninja breathed a sigh of relief, "310 meters to the northwest, there is a hill, and they are hiding in a cave on the back of the hill. ”
"Good!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu replied simply, and the first one hurried away, and the three squadrons that accompanied him hurriedly got up and acted.
The time to deal with general affairs is boring and boring, so Uchiha Tokumitsu also leads his troops to go out to "hunt" from time to time, and a day or two is considered a vacation.
The target of this chase is reported by the Grass Ninja Village, and it is said that there have been several unidentified strong ninjas operating in the Ofushimi Grassland in the Grass Country recently, and the Grass Ninja fled when he saw the enemy, but sent the information to the Northwest Frontier Defense Force in Konoha in exchange for money.
The distance of 310 meters is almost between breaths for ninjas, Uchiha Tokumitsu led his subordinates to find the hilly cave that the perception ninja said, Uchiha Tokumitsu closed his eyes and sensed it carefully for a while, there were indeed three chakra breaths in the cave, he did not hesitate, nodded to the Uchiha people around him and began to seal.
"Enchantment: Steel Realm Locks!" Three Uchiha ninjas join forces to perform a sealing technique. The effect of this sealing technique is simple, it is to harden the ground like steel, so that ninjas in the blocked area cannot escape through ninjutsu such as diving in the earth.
"Fire Escape: Dragon Fire Technique!"
A fiery dragon erupted from the mouth of the Uchiha Tokumitsu, and the huge dragon head burst into the cave and poured down the cave under Chakra's control.
"Boom!"
It wasn't until the dragon came into contact with a living creature that it began to explode.
"Perception!"
"Yes!" The perceptual ninja hurriedly continued to pinch the seal and probe.
"Lord Deguang, there are no signs of life survival anymore."
Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his chin slightly, and the six Uchiha ninjas willingly entered the cave to search.
After a while, three charred corpses and some miscellaneous items were brought out; It seems that these unidentified ninjas used this cave as a habitat.
The Uchiha expertly scavenged through charred corpses, and one by one, burned beyond recognition, pulled out of their tattered combat uniforms.
"Next time, I'll have to change to a less powerful ninjutsu. It's too troublesome to touch the corpse......"
The Uchiha muttered inwardly.
"Lord Deguang, judging from the clothing and the items he wears, it should be Iwain, and it may also be Iwain's dark team."
"The Shadows? The dark part of the rock is so watery? One dragon fire technique and the whole team was wiped out? ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.
The other Uchiha didn't answer either, but they were slandering in their hearts; The Uchiha clan is indeed a little arrogant, but the Uchiha have never seen such arrogance as Lord Tokumitsu.
"Yes! Although the costume has been largely burned, it is clear that the style and material are unique to Iwakure, and the special kunai it is equipped with is also forged from steel unique to the land of the earth, which is heavier, longer, and sharper than the standard kunai......"
"Let's take a closer look!"
"Yes!" Several Uchiha looked at each other a few times, then lifted the corpse and flashed aside, and began to dissect the abdomen and 'finely' search for identity clues.
Turning around, the Uchiha once again looked at the still servile Kushinobu beside him.
"Uchiha-sama ......"
The trembling Kushinobu couldn't grasp the intentions of Uchiha Tokumitsu, for fear of being cremated.
"You...... Well done! ”
"Thank you, sir! It's an honor to serve Uchiha-sama! ”
Hearing this, Cao endurance was like being amnestied, and he bowed down again and again to thank him.
'Saved my life! Kusanobu breathed a sigh of relief.
"This time, I'll calculate the bounty for a B-level mission for you, and go back to the camp to receive the reward!" Uchiha Tokumitsu said, summoned the accompanying clerks, took a scroll to write the quest and bounty content, and threw the scroll to Kusa Shinobi.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! Uchiha-sama ...... "The overjoyed Kushinobu bowed after thanking him again and again.
"Do a good job, your benefits are indispensable!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu waved him impatiently to let him go.
"Yes, yes......" The smiling Kusanobu bowed and retreated.
After Kusa Shinobi left, one of the Uchiha asked puzzledly, "Tokumitsu-sama, this despicable Kusa Shinobi is as unbearable as a pig and a dog...... Why was he rewarded for a B-rank mission? ”
"Even if it's waste, there's a use for waste." Uchiha Tokumitsu said leisurely, "No matter how unbearable Kusa Shinobi is, he is also a local native, familiar with the terrain, and it is still possible to be a supernumerary spy, and it also saves us from spending precious troops patrolling and probing intelligence; Moreover, there are more than 3,000 ninjas in the grass ninja village, even if the strength is poor, it is still possible to use their upper ninja. ”
"But Kushinobi has always been as unreliable as a wall-to-wall grass, and often sells information to both sides......" The Uchiha people were still a little uneasy.
"It's okay...... This time it's also a favor, wait for this waste to go back and show off after receiving the reward, make the eyes of the Grass Ninja Village red, stimulate them to help find out the information, and then find a reason to leak Konoha secrets and kill a batch......" Uchiha Tokumitsu said nonchalantly.
"That'...... Do you want to control a part of the grass forbearance first, so that you can testify later? ”
"Don't bother! When the time comes, just smoke a tenth of the grass ninja and kill it. Uchiha Tokumi said lightly and bloody, "Anyway, with or without evidence, they won't admit to selling information to others, right~"
The Uchiha looked at each other.
Good guys, this kind of framing and killing is unheard of even by the Uchiha radicals. The Uchiha are indeed bloodthirsty and belligerent, but it is rare to find someone as ferocious as Uchiha Tokumitsu.
Uchiha Tokumitsu is also lacking in interest in his heart, for him, these background board characters who have nothing to do with him are all regarded as NPCs, and all punishments, life and death, rewards and punishments are done as he pleases; So since he led the ninja army out, without the buffer of family affection in this life, Uchiha Tokumitsu's temperament has become colder and colder, and more and more unhuman, and in the eyes of other Uchiha people, especially radicals, Uchiha Tokumitsu-sama has become more and more 'Uchiha', it is simply the reincarnation of Shura in the ninja world, and his sense of awe is getting stronger and stronger.
"Lord Tokumitsu...... There are new discoveries! ”
The Uchiha, who had run to the side to dissect his abdomen, ran over. "My lord, please look!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu took a piece of gooey paper and a small bottle in his hand.
"What the hell?"
"This kind of paper is supposed to be a message written in secret language, cut out from the belly of the corpse, and only one 'taki' character is deciphered in the text......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu glared at him, daring to love this slimy thing is a pickle in his stomach.
"Double-check it again, and then make a copy and send it back to the village!"
"Yes!"
"Where's this?" The Uchiha shook the small bottle carved out of stone, which was rustling inside, and it was supposed to be some kind of powdered item.
"This bottle was found in the palm of the hand, and there was a corpse whose fingers were converted into hollow mechanisms, and this bottle was hidden inside, and the preliminary composition test had just been conducted, and it should be a poison from the Sand Hidden Village......"
"Human Modification...... Poison ......" Uchiha Tokumitsu was also a little confused, "Isn't this the puppet army of the sand hide?" ”
"Lord Tokumitsu is aware of it, but the corpse has not been found to be carrying a puppet, nor is there a scroll to seal the puppet."
"The puppeteers who look like the puppet division of the ace army of the sand are wearing the dark uniforms of Iwakure...... He also carried a secret letter with the word 'taki'. Uchiha Tokumitsu was amazed.
"Isn't this the brainless and hot-blooded Hokage world, why did you start to engage in this kind of brain-burning spy-in-espion." ’
"Asuka-kun, you can compile a report." Uchiha Tokumitsu instructed the accompanying Uchiha ninjas, "Report the contents to the village as it is, and let the monkeys burn their brains!" ”
"Yes!" An Uchiha ninja with glasses replied in silence.
"Clean up the battlefield! Retreat back to the camp! ”
"No!"
……
After returning to the camp of the border defense forces, Uchiha Tokumitsu found the Uchiha Fire Gate who was staying in the camp, and then summoned the staff officer Nara Kohei to tell them about the incident.
Due to the fact that there were too few clues, and there were no people from the Yamanaka clan in the camp, it was impossible to conduct brain intelligence investigation, and at this time, Nara Kohei, who was known for his brilliant brain, could not sort out the clues based on the limited known conditions.
"Forget it, anyway, I'll let Asuka-kun compile the mission report, so I'll hand it over to the village's code squad for a headache." Uchiha Tokumitsu was also ready to pat his ass and go back to rest.
“…… Tokumitsu-sama, you can actually transfer some of the poison you mentioned to Tsunade-sama for testing......" Nara Kohei hesitated for a moment, "Tsunade-sama is the best medical ninja in the village, and if she tests it, she should be able to interpret the specific material of the poison and determine which camp the corpse is......"
"Tsunade-hime!" Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" I'm not familiar with Tsunade! ”
After that, he took out a scroll from his pocket and threw it to Nara Kohei, "The poison is here, you can take some of it and give it to Tsunade Shinobi!" ”
"Obey orders!" Kohei Nara bowed his head in response.
