How can I go home? I thought about it for a whole week, but I still had no idea. Kakashi and the others thought I was developing a new ninjutsu.
"Is it because of the explosion?" I frowned and thought, if that was really the case, I wouldn't dare to try it. What a disaster it would be if I died in the explosion.
And I go home, what will happen to Xiaoxue? She will definitely be very sad, and there is also the Uchiha tragedy...
It was so messed up that I couldn't breathe.
"Never mind! Just take things as they come!" I hit my head hard and forced myself to forget about it for the time being.
It's time to go to ANBU for work, and I don't know if there are any tasks today.
Suddenly, I remembered the Qingfeng Sword. I haven't done many missions since I got it, so it has been hidden under my bed.
It would be a waste to let such a magical weapon gather dust. I took it out and set off for the ANBU. I put all the other equipment in the ANBU locker, except for the Qingfeng Sword, which was too precious.
I was afraid of losing it, so I kept it at home.
When they came to the ANBU, everyone was bored. Some were playing cards, some were playing chess, and some were sharpening their knives. It was very leisurely.
"It seems there are no tasks today." I rolled up my sleeves and prepared to join their camp.
Suddenly, an ANBU rushed in with a whoosh and said coldly to me: "Hatake Kurone, the Third Hokage has a mission for you."
"Am I the only one?" I was a little confused. In the past, we were in teams, and there were very few cases where I was asked to perform tasks alone.
"Yes." The ANBU said succinctly.
I quickly put on the ANBU suit, put on the mask, carried Qingfeng on my back, and went to the Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage is still the same, smoking a cigarette, with a kind face and a smile, probably because of the birth of his grandson Konohamaru.
The third generation asked me to sit down, puffed on his cigarette, and said to me: "Herone, how have you been living in Konoha these past few years? Are you getting used to it? Do you miss home? I heard that you, the Uchiha
Have you caught the number one beauty?"
I took off my mask and said with some embarrassment: "It's good. I feel like I have completely integrated into Konoha. Everyone regards me as a companion. I am definitely homesick, but, eh..."
Having said this, I sighed and lowered my head.
"Don't worry, after a while, I will ask Kakashi to take a few people with you to take a boat to the sea to see. Although it may be different from your time, it is still your hometown." Sandai said seriously.
"Thank you, Third Generation." I stood up and bowed.
"Okay, let's get down to business. I'm calling you here this time. The main reason is that I have a task for you."
"Sir, please speak."
"We have been unable to contact an intelligence agency in Sunagakure recently, so we need you to go over and see if the intelligence system can be restored to normal. And..." Sandai suddenly stopped, thought for a while, and said, "And..."
It's a private matter, that boy Asuma seems to have gone to work as a guard for the daimyo, if it's convenient for you, help me take a look at that little brat on the way."
Although he was scolding, I could see that Sandai still cared about his son.
"Do you need me to persuade him to come back?" I asked, but after asking, I felt it was a bit unnecessary.
"No need, young man, just let him exercise." The Third Hokage said with a smile. "Let's go."
"yes!"
…………
Whoosh whoosh! Towards the direction of Sand Hidden Village, I quickly shuttled through the woods.
In less than half a day, I arrived at the border between Konoha and Sunagakure. Speaking of which, this border is really interesting.
This end of the boundary monument is a dense forest, but beyond the boundary monument, it is the deserted Gobi. It is like stepping into another world. This gap is so big that I can't help but sigh.
"If we secretly plant this kind of tree at the border and move the boundary markers, will Konoha's territory expand?" I thought in a wicked way, and laughed a few times. "It's a bit wicked, hahaha."
After driving for half a day through the night, I finally arrived at the gate of Sunagakure Village early the next morning.
The gate of Sand Hidden Village is very strange. Two pyramid-shaped buildings block the front of the village. Between the two buildings is a sky-like trail. The steps of the pyramid are filled with sentry ninjas. There is also a checkpoint at the entrance of the trail. Check
People entering the village.
Probably because Sunagakure Village is located in a desolate area, there are not many people coming in and out, and they are basically people from the village.
It's too troublesome to dress up in disguise. Outsiders will definitely check it carefully, so I'll just go in invisible.
"Transparent Escape!" I circulated the chakra in my body, and my whole body slowly became transparent, and then turned into nothingness.
I held my breath and walked over, but the Suna ninjas guarding the door didn't notice me at all. I stretched out my hand and waved it in front of one of the Suna ninjas.
"Hey, Mole, it seems like something is blowing on my face." A sand ninja scratched his face and said.
"Is it the wind, or did you have a stroke?" another joked.
"Stop talking! Concentrate on sentry duty!" a Suna ninja who looked like a jounin scolded, and then vigilantly sensed his surroundings, "There is no aura of intruders, am I too worried?"
I quietly slipped into the village.
According to the address given in the task prompt, I arrived at the door of a grocery store.
"It should be right here." I found a deserted corner and released the evasion, and then used the transformation technique to look like a passerby.
When I walked into the store, it was quite depressed and shabby. There were no waiters and no customers. The shopkeeper was cracking melon seeds on the counter. When he saw me coming in, the shopkeeper pushed the melon seed peels away with a smile on his face and asked me what I wanted to buy.
.
"Are there any wooden lunch boxes for sale?" I followed the code and asked casually.
The shopkeeper's expression was stern. It was just for a moment and hard to detect, but I caught it. Then his face was full of smile and he said: "Yes, I don't know how big you need."
"I'm a big eater. I can eat ten buns in one bite. Give me the biggest one." I continued calmly. These two codes alluded to Konoha.
"I wonder how many brothers you have at home? Would you like some more lunch boxes?" the shopkeeper continued to ask.
"There are four brothers in the family, but unfortunately I am the third one left. One is enough." I continued to answer, which implied that the Hokage of Konoha has been passed down to four generations, and now only three generations are left alive.
"Hey, look at my memory." The shopkeeper rummaged through the shelves and said, "The wooden lunch boxes are sold out. Come with me to the warehouse behind to look for them." The shopkeeper winked at me.
"No problem." I knew he had confirmed and was ready to talk to me.
The shopkeeper walked to the door, looked outside twice, then hung up the closing sign and locked the door.
When I followed the shopkeeper to the back room, he held my hand and said excitedly: "It's great to finally have you here."
Wait, why does this scene look so familiar? How does it look so similar to the underground party joints shown in spy dramas? I almost have to call it "comrade".
I shook my head to dispel my random thoughts and said, "My third uncle sent me to see if something happened here? I haven't contacted my hometown yet."
The shopkeeper said somewhat depressedly: "The few pigeons and hawks we brought as messengers in the early years have all died one after another. Last month, the last pigeon flew out and never came back. The people who came and went from Sunagakure Village were checked.
It's very strict. I have only one line of communication with my hometown, so I can't contact other undercover agents in the village, eh."
"Hey, what do I think is going on? Don't worry, I will send Ninja Eagle over in a few days." I felt relieved.
I left the Flying Thunder God technique in the grocery store, and I was about to use Flying Thunder God to return to Konoha to resurrect, but suddenly I remembered that the Third Hokage asked me to visit Asuma, so I had to use Touretsu to leave Sunagakure Village.
I found out that the daimyo had recently inspected a city near the border between Sunagakure and Kirigakure, so I immediately set off there.
After a long journey, I finally reached the border. Just when I was about to cross the border between Sunagakure and Kirigakure, I suddenly noticed that there were many people in a nearby valley. I used my teleportation to quietly touch them.
In the valley, a group of Kirigakure ninjas surrounded a Sunagakure female ninja. The female ninja had a dark green bun, orange bangs on her cheeks, and was wearing a sleeveless tights. She had a pretty face and a good figure.
Very good, looks like he is in his early twenties.
This girl looks so familiar, I thought to myself, running through the memory in my mind.
This seems to be Sunagakure's Burning Release Ninja...Pa...what the hell.
At this time, the voices of several Kirigakure ninjas came from below:
"Pakula, you didn't expect that you will have this day too, just die!" (To be continued)
