Night has come quietly, and dark clouds have risen in the sky early, with a few stars leaking out. The dim fluorescence spreads to the earth, shining on the quiet valley and the river, as if everything and everyone here is covered with a layer of light.
Hazy tulle.
Jiraiya stood solemnly by the river. He lowered his eyes for the fifth time and looked at his watch. Then he raised his head for the sixth time and looked around. Although the face looked leisurely and comfortable, the corners of his eyebrows were slightly frowned inadvertently.
Revealed restless mood.
Half an hour has passed since the appointed time.
Zheping still hasn't shown up.
Fifty meters underground from Jiraiya's position, diagonally behind him, in the rock formations, Lei Luo closed his eyes and sensed the nearby situation. The picture in his mind was just as empty as when it was noon. He was so bored that he began to think silently.
'The position of the time coordinate has not changed. Teppei has not yet used psychic techniques to contact Jiraiya. What does this person mean? Let us wait for the pigeons? Gather people to prepare for a raid on the meeting point?'
'Is it possible that he is really a double agent?'
After thinking about it, suddenly, a change occurred. A chakra light point flashed in his mind and moved quickly to the center of the valley. Lei Luo gathered his energy and carefully sensed the chakra amount of the visitor, and found that it was only at the genin level.
Above the surface, Jiraiya seemed to have noticed something, and his expression moved slightly. He looked sideways at the mountainside more than a hundred meters away, and saw a figure turning out and running towards him quickly on the straight cliff.
Soon, it landed with a clack, and the childish feeling had not yet faded. The words sounded:
"You should be Tsuchikawa!"
This was an ordinary-looking young man, only as tall as Jiraiya's chest. He was wearing an Iwagakure uniform. He looked straight at him without blinking. His expression was a little nervous. He was hiding a kunai in the palm of his back.
.
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes. At this moment, the breeze blew by, blowing the corners of his clothes and hair, and the flowing water rippled. Two figures stood opposite each other by the river, creating two shadows, one long and one short, under the hazy starlight.
"Are you Zheping?"
"No, no, I am Master Zheping's disciple, my name is Shiina!"
Shiina's eyes widened and she spoke loudly, as if doing so would improve her courage. Jiraiya didn't understand why the person who came was not Teppei. He was about to ask, but then he thought about it and realized something.
"Can you represent Zheping?"
"Yes, your purpose, the teacher has told me, and the specific information is in this scroll..." Shiina still hid one hand behind her back, and fumbled with her ninja bag for a while with the other hand, and quickly took out a
The scroll was handed to Jiraiya.
"The teacher said that everything he knows has been written down. What is not written down means that he doesn't know it either!"
Jiraiya took the scroll and was about to open it, but unexpectedly there was a seal on it with several strings of magic symbols drawn on it. It was obviously a seal, which made him look away and look at the boy opposite again.
His eyes were a little colder.
The atmosphere in the venue instantly became depressing. Shiina noticed Jiraiya's unkind gaze, swallowed hard, and subconsciously looked away, but then moved back to look at Jiraiya.
Then, he gritted his teeth and his expression suddenly became fearless.
"The teacher also said that if you want to get this precious information, you must give a reward of ten million taels. Otherwise, he will have many ways to make you regret it. Your target is the Tsuchikage, right? Let me tell you..."
Before he finished speaking, a plain voice sounded from behind:
"Since your teacher knows that our target is the Tsuchikage, hasn't he thought about it..."
"He has the life to take this money, but will he not have the life to spend it?"
Shiina hurriedly turned around and stared closely at another Iwa nin who appeared behind her at some point. He was a tall, middle-aged man with calm and deep eyes, exuding majestic momentum.
Although Lei Luo looked like a Tu Yuan, the aura he unleashed unintentionally was far beyond what Tu Yuan could match.
at least……
Shiina, who was facing Lei Luo, felt as if he was standing on the railway track, facing a train at a speed of 800 miles per hour, trying to crush him into a pulp. At this moment, his legs were shaking and his legs were trembling.
"I, I'm warning you! Don't think about using force on me, otherwise teacher, teacher, he will definitely expose your affairs!"
"By then, let alone assassinating the Tsuchikage, even if it is any elder, you will not be able to successfully capture it!"
Shiina's stammering words gave off a feeling of fierceness. Lei Luo touched his chin, stared at the other person with interest for a while, and asked curiously:
"Are you Teppei's apprentice? Iwagakure ninja? Sunagakure ninja?"
Seeing that Lei Luo seemed to be interested in her, the terrifying and huge aura gradually dissipated. Shiina's tense nerves eased slightly, but her panic expression did not change much.
"I am Iwagakure ninja, nothing else to comment on!"
The Iwagakure ninja, however, ignored the good interests of the village and risked his life for his teacher's affairs. He openly discussed the business of assassinating the Tsuchikage here. Shiina was obviously Teppei's diehard loyalist. Lei Luo easily came to this conclusion.
"Ten million taels, I can give it to you, but how can you guarantee that the information is accurate and true?"
After briefly weighing the current situation, Lei Luo was unwilling to waste time and energy on cracking the seal on the information scroll, and he was too lazy to deal with the master and disciple Teppei Shiina, so as not to increase the number of variables.
Ten million taels or so is not a big sum for Lei Luo. It is exchanged for some confidential information that is beneficial to the yellow plan. Overall, it is quite worthwhile. As long as Onoki can be killed smoothly, he is willing to pay 500 million.
Seeing that Lei Luo's attitude relaxed, Shiina breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, turned his eyes to the scroll held by Jiraiya, and replied hurriedly:
"What is recorded in the intelligence is the underground hideout built by the Tsuchikage and the elders. I can accompany you as a hostage to verify them one by one! If there is anything wrong, I, Shiina, will let you deal with it!"
Lei Luo raised his eyebrows and asked: "This is not what I imagined. I thought Zheping could directly take us to the top of Iwagakure, but I just know the location of some hiding places, which doesn't seem to be worth ten million taels."
"Knowing the location of those hiding places, you can either wait and wait, or launch a precise raid, or set up an ambush, or seize the opportunity, and you will always reap results! Believe me, 10 million taels is definitely a good price.
!”
When it came to money, Shiina finally had some confidence in her eyes, and even her words became much more fluent. Although Lei Luo was surprised, he didn't say anything. He pulled out a seal scroll and threw it away, and Shiina quickly took it.
After untying the seal, a pile of banknotes was pulled out, almost piled up into a hill. Lei Luo stepped forward and squatted down, sorting out ten million taels from the pile of money, and finally counted them under Shiina's reluctant eyes.
Put it into the boy's hand.
"Okay, let's unlock the seal."
Hurrying away the money, he glanced at the information scroll handed to him with his peripheral vision. Shiina made a few seals without saying a word. The light flashed on the scroll and the seal was broken. Lei Luo unfolded it with a casual pull. After a closer look, he found that
It's a map.
"Let's go and check."
Zheping was willing to cooperate, Shiina was very honest when taking the money, and Lei Luo had no intention of betraying him. He picked up Shiina, winked at Jiraiya and Fugaku, and the three of them used the teleportation technique and left.
The target point is generally determined, and the next step is to search one by one.
