The Kingdom of Water is an island country, but there are many mountains on the island. In order to find suitable places to live, the distribution of villages is also relatively scattered. Precisely because there are many mountains, it is easier for rebels to hide.
Without the help of external forces, trying to find clues to the target here is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
Simply, Yusuke and Terumi Mei also gave up looking for it in person, and instead chose to fish with a straight hook. As for the bait, it was a small village near the rebel ninja's hiding place, Arakuru Village, a village close to the shore.
After Yusuke and Mei Terumi arrived in the village, they split up and targeted restaurants, hotels and pharmacies, plus two or three doctors in the village.
Of course, as the hallmark process of exploratory investigation, interviewing villagers is essential.
This village is relatively remote, and there are not as many villagers as expected. Most of the people I see have dark skin and thin bodies. When I look at Yusuke again, my originally empty eyes have become more wary.
This place already belongs to the edge of the Kingdom of Water.
Generally speaking, due to the limited number of fog ninjas, they don't come here very often.
After the war in Konoha, it became even more difficult for the Mist Ninja Village, which was severely damaged, to take care of such a remote place.
From the demeanor of these people, Yusuke deduced that this trip would be fruitless, and this was indeed the case. As expected, there was no valuable news.
"I hope Terumi Mei can gain something, otherwise, I will really be thrown away by Qiushui." Yusuke yawned and prepared to return to the entrance of the village.
That was the place he agreed with Terumi Mei.
Just as I was stretching, I suddenly saw a few figures hiding behind haystacks or debris on the roadside out of the corner of my eye, and I suddenly felt energetic.
Finding nothing made him feel bored.
If the people behind him were ignorant, he didn't mind having some fun with them.
After taking a few detours, the distance between those people and him was getting closer. Yusuke suddenly sped up and ran towards the outside of the village. The people who were following him didn't bother to hide, so they accelerated and followed him into the outside of the village.
forest.
"Damn it! Let him run away!" One person yelled.
"It's all your fault. I told you not to let him run out of the village. If such a fat sheep is gone, who knows when we will see the next one."
"Didn't I just 'kill' one a few hours ago?"
"Bah. That's you, not me."
"It took a lot of effort to get those kunai and shurikens. If I don't find a few targets to try, my hands will be itchy."
"Hey. In front... That kid is in front!"
As far as the eye can see, a figure is running quickly towards the depths of the forest.
Almost no one bothered to speak, and they all chased after him in unison.
This forest was near the village, and they were born and raised here. Every tree in this forest was remembered in their minds, and before long, the man was surrounded from all sides.
"Hey, boy, you are surrounded. Judging from your headgear, there is no mark of Kirigakure Village. You should not be a serious Kirigakure. To tell you the truth, we just killed a real Kirito. If you don't want to die,
, just obediently take out the valuable things, otherwise, that Mist Ninja will be your role model."
"That's right, the weapons in the hands of our five brothers are not vegetarian." One person held a kunai in his hand, noticed some pain, and quickly let go.
The man didn't speak, and the two people who spoke couldn't bear to lose face, so they threw kunai and shurikens at him, but the other party easily dodged them.
"Brothers, this guy is not easy to deal with. Take out all those things and don't let him run away like this." The speaker took out the detonating talisman from his arms and prepared to throw it.
"Wait...is there any sound?" A person grabbed the person who was about to throw the detonating talisman.
"sound?"
The man was stunned and forgot to throw the detonating talisman. His eyes involuntarily moved in the direction of the sound. A group of rapid water flowed in like a flood, instantly washing the five people into pieces.
The people surrounded by them turned into a pool of water and merged into the torrent.
"Oh my, why do you like to set fires in the forest? Terumi Mei can put out fires herself, but can you? Oh, I am really hardworking... I wonder if someone will give me the title of environmental ambassador." Yusuke
Sitting on the tree, looking at the man lying on the ground, spitting out water.
While in the tree, he heard several people mention that they had killed a Mist Ninja.
Of course, with their strength, they can only get enough of it, but it is most likely true that they have encountered Mist Ninja. After all, the detonating talisman is too expensive. Considering the economic situation of this village, it is unlikely that anyone can afford it.
"Is the water delicious?" Yusuke kicked someone.
The man on the ground spat again, closed his eyes tightly, and didn't even want to move.
The corners of Yusuke's mouth raised slightly.
These people are considered to be the gangsters in the village, tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Those who are easy to discuss with them will definitely have many demands, and they will not answer them honestly, so some special means must be used.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
When Yusuke grabbed a person's ankle and was about to throw him into a tree, the person finally couldn't help it anymore.
"If you don't want to die, you'd better tell me everything you know. What did you mean by 'killing a Mist ninja'?"
The man was about to quibble, but when he saw Yusuke's eyes, thick murderous intent kept pouring out.
"You will tell me, right?" Yusuke suddenly smiled.
…
Terumi Mei asked half of the village, but she didn't get any answers. However, there were a few people who struck up a conversation, but she knocked them down without saying a word.
"Yusuke...didn't you agree that no matter whether the investigation results are obtained or not, we must meet at the entrance of the village? Why haven't they arrived yet? Is there really something going on?" Terumi Mei murmured in a low voice.
Even though she had left the village, there were still people peeking at her nearby.
This feeling... is really annoying.
Terumi Mei complained in her heart and turned her head, only to see Yusuke walking towards the village entrance from a distance and waving to her.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little doubtful in her heart.
When did Yusuke run outside? Wait, there is this person behind him...who is it?
Those who were eyeing her eagerly saw Yusuke coming and left in disbelief.
"Who is he?" Terumi Mei asked confused.
"He is a wonderful person... Well, he came here on his own initiative. He met a fog ninja." Yusuke didn't hesitate.
Just as Yusuke had speculated before, those five people didn't have that strength at all. They just happened to meet a mist ninja who was seriously injured and fell to the ground somewhere.
They then looted the detonating talisman, kunai and money from the mist ninja.
Returning to the village, I met Yusuke. Seeing that Yusuke was young and judging from his headband, he was not an official ninja, so he came up with a crooked idea.
They also thought that they might not be Yusuke's opponent, but they had already tasted the benefits from the Kiri ninja and did not want to give up the other "fat sheep". Moreover, there were five of them, while the opponent only had one.
Facts have proved that five straw bales added together are still straw bales.
"Where are the remaining four?" Terumi Mei asked.
"It's hanging on the tree." Yusuke grinned, "You're leading the way, one person is enough."
