Lei Luo had vaguely guessed about Hui Tu's identity through his contacts in the past few days. In addition, thanks to his keen intuition, Lei Luo noticed that there was some kind of unusual chakra fluctuation hidden in Hui Tu's body.
The texture of chakra was somewhat similar to the Four Elephants, and it also exuded a faint aura of soul. If he expected it correctly, it should be some kind of sealing technique applied to the brain to prevent the leakage of information.
If you take action, regardless of success or failure, you may trigger an alarm.
If he doesn't take action, given the current situation, Huitu will probably help him achieve his goal.
The choice of what to do is already obvious.
The journey was destined to be boring. Lei Luo and Fugaku were silent all the way. After arriving at the destination, more than an hour had passed and the mist in the early morning had not completely dissipated.
"According to Jiraiya's information, Base 42..."
Stopping and observing the nearby scene, a pool of clear water immediately came into view. Lei Luo stared at the small lake in front of him, but saw that the lake water was crystal clear, and the continuous mountain peaks in the distance were reflected in the lake water, making it look even greener.
A gust of breeze blew, and the surface of the lake, which was just as level as a mirror, had ripples like fish scales, shining with silvery light under the sunlight. This scene made Lei Luo feel quite relaxed and happy.
The wings of his nose quivered and he took a deep breath of fresh air.
"It was built at the bottom of the lake."
Surrounded by mountains, towering rock walls, and the lake was faintly surrounded, it was like a Tianchi in the center of the crater. Fugaku was not interested in admiring the beautiful scenery around him. He squatted down and touched the wet soil beside the river bank.
The look in his eyes was slightly more solemn.
"There are footprints, so it seems this is the right place."
"What to do next?"
In the first half of the sentence, Fugaku was talking to himself, but in the second half, he raised his head sideways and asked Lei Luo. The latter did not think much and raised his hand casually: "Wait, wait for Iwagakure."
Make the moves first, and then we’ll take action.”
"The purpose of this trip is to capture at least one important figure in Iwagakure alive, to provide more intelligence support for our subsequent operations, to scare the snake away, and to scare away the cooked duck - which is not a good thing."
After saying that, Lei Luo formed a seal with his hands, and his body slowly sank into the ground. Fugaku sighed helplessly when he saw this, took out the seal scroll, untied it, took out a black robe and put it on his body, and then sank into the ground.
.
Fugaku is not very proficient in Earth Release Ninjutsu. Compared to Lei Luo's Earth Release Ninjutsu, which is a high-end stealth Earth Release that can hide objects and demons, Fugaku can only perform some techniques such as mental beheading, which cannot block his perception ability.
.
Therefore, it is necessary to wear a piece of equipment to assist.
The environment on the shore of the lake became quiet, with only the sound of gurgling water left. Lei Luo and Fugaku took their positions one after another and entered the standby state. At the same time, inside the No. 42 base dug out from the bottom of the lake, Jiraiya was receiving orders.
"Tuchuan, the enemies of Ishi Town have been making frequent moves recently. The ANBU has discovered that the other side's defense is empty. It's just a bluff."
"You take two teams of ninjas to Mount Kumgang and join your colleagues at Base 64 stationed there to launch a joint attack."
"Remember, try to focus on killing the enemy's effective forces and plundering material resources as a supplement. You must perform well and don't let the friendly forces look down on our base 42."
Jiraiya looked at the base commander in front of him, a pretty and serious female ninja from Iwagakure. He nodded solemnly and decisively accepted the mission. He took the information scroll, turned around, and pushed the door open to leave.
What Jiraiya didn't know was that behind him, out of sight, the female Iwa ninja was staring at Jiraiya's back, with an undetectable sneer at the corner of her mouth, and wisps of cold light flashing in her eyes.
"Teacher, where are we going this time?"
As soon as he walked out of the commander's office, a girl with long brown hair, pretty features, and a good figure approached him with a smile, hugged Jiraiya's arm and shook her vigorously.
This girl is Jiraiya, no, it should be said to be Tsuchikawa's apprentice, her name is Senji, she was born as a civilian orphan, she is eleven years old, and she is a genin.
Chieji was adopted by Tsuchikawa when he was three years old. The relationship between the two could be said to be that of a teacher and a father. He was the closest person to Tsuchikawa in Iwagakure, at least, that's how it seemed on the surface.
As for the actual situation? Jiraiya didn't know.
"In Shishi Town, there is a big operation there and we need your help."
Thinking of Tsuchikawa's character, Jiraiya replied with a smile, raised the mission scroll with one hand and shook it, and patted Chiji's little head with the other hand, with a very kind expression on his face.
"Is it Shizhen?"
Seeing that Jiraiya didn't hide the destination of his trip, Qianzhi rolled his eyes, opened his lips slightly, and said coquettishly: "Teacher, I think you are in a very relaxed state. It shouldn't be a difficult task, right?"
"This time, can you bring a thousand?"
Hearing this, Jiraiya's face stiffened for a moment, and then he pretended to be displeased and scolded:
"Qianzhi, I told you, this is a big operation, and your strength is far from enough. If you have time to pester me as a teacher, you might as well spend more time cultivating."
"Otherwise, how could you survive this war?"
Listening to Tsuchikawa's usual sermons, Qianzhi pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and muttered a few words in a low voice. Because the volume was too low, Jiraiya did not hear clearly.
In short, Senji didn't bother Jiraiya anymore. He rushed up to hug his teacher, whispered something in his ear, and then jumped away, leaving Jiraiya standing there blankly.
land.
Teacher, you should also live well...
The girl's sincere words lingered in his ears, revealing a deep feeling of concern. Jiraiya was in a daze for a moment, and after a while he recovered, smelling the fragrance left on his nose, and deep in his heart...
Sighed.
Rich experience told Jiraiya that Tsuchikawa adopted Senji in order to better conceal his identity, but he could not tell whether there was some kind of unexplainable relationship between master and disciple, whose relationship was not pure.
Feelings.
Family affection? Love? Or...
Tuchuan, or Douzhen, must be very confused, right?
No wonder among the three Huangsheng, only Dou Zhen made a mistake while lurking. At this moment, Jiraiya thought like this in his mind. After a moment of silence, he adjusted his mentality and his expression became calm again.
The love and hatred between family and country, the game of Ninja Village, spy career, master and apprentice, father and daughter... too many factors are mixed together, and it seems to have turned into a huge whirlpool, involving Douzhen and Qianzhi.
This relationship, if nothing unexpected happens, is destined to be torn to pieces in the end.
Perhaps, there are more unknown people living like this.
Just like weeds.
'If the world is unified, will this situation get better? Peace... Lei Luo, are your ideals and beliefs correct? What exactly are you...'
"Is it the son of prophecy that the Great Toad Immortal said?"
Confusion arose in his heart, and Jiraiya was a little dazed. Although his expression did not change, the thoughts in his mind were surging violently, until a few minutes passed, and he smiled to himself.
Take a step forward, stop thinking, gather people, and start taking action.
When Tu Qiong Dagger saw that he had arrived, he had already made preparations.
