Grass Ninja Village is a small country at the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth in the original book, and it is also a buffer zone between the great powers.

In Uehara's memory, he was only impressed by the huge prison in Kusa Ninja Village.

In the second ninja war that has passed, the grass ninja village appeared halfway through the second ninja war, but it was affected by the whirlpool of the ninja war just two months later, and finally ended indifferently.

During the Shinobi War, the battered Kusanobu Village was no longer able to defend the border of the Kusanokuni Country, so all the ninjas were withdrawn to the Kusanobu Village to strengthen the defense of the Ninja Village. As a result, the entire country of grass almost did not see a single grass ninja during the Second Ninja War.

Ironically, after the end of the war, Kushinobu immediately began to defend the border again. It is ironic that the Ninja Village is the main force of a country, and the Kusa Ninja Village cannot protect the country of Kusa in wartime, but can only protect the country in peacetime.

I thought that there would be some trouble in the country of grass, but under the escort of a team of grass ninjas, I didn't encounter any problems at all. It seems that Kusanobu himself is also worried that the big man of Iwa Shinobi Village has something wrong in the country of Kusanobi.

The journey to the Land of the Wind went smoother than expected, passing through the border of the Land of Grass, where the ninjas of the Sand Ninja were already waiting.

What a boring journey. Looking at the gradual change of color of the desert grassland under their feet to the complete gray-yellow desert environment, on the huge circular wind erosion rock pillar, the sand ninja built a tent-like building on it according to the terrain, it seems that this is where their outpost is located.

A figure quickly tumbled down from under the windswept rock, and quickly approached. Seemingly unintentional, Firelight and Toshiro immediately shifted their positions and protected Uehara one after the other.

It seems that the other party is a very experienced ninja, and in the face of Iwa Shinobi, who was a mortal enemy not long ago, he did not launch a brainless provocation, but stopped from a safe distance.

"Hello, Fengyin Village is especially resistant to sandstorms. Tornado. At the order of Kazekage-sama, I waited for you in Iwakure," the sand ninja wearing a turban and purple eyeshadow on his eyes stretched out his hand in a gray ninja from a long distance, "Next, it will be up to our border troops to protect your safety." ”

"Firelight." Uehara looked at the ninja sword standing in front of him, covering his sight, and whispered, "Go and hand over, be careful." ”

After the firelight handed over the document signed by the third generation of Tsuchikage Onoki to the sand ninja for review, after the commander of the sand ninja border force waved his hand, many figures appeared behind the undulating sand dunes in front of him.

Seeing this scene, "Toshiro," Uehara laughed, "We ......"

With a snap, the sound of a flare exploding exploded in Uehara's ears, and when he looked up again, a green flare quickly rose into the air with its tail dragged. Although it was right to do this, Uehara couldn't help but pout, obviously he was the commander, and Toshiro didn't seem to like to follow orders.

Not long after the flare lifted into the air, behind Uehara and them, the shadow ninja who was protecting them along the way finally appeared. Dressed in black ninja costumes and wearing masks, they stood motionless, silently opposing the border troops of the sand ninja.

And around the dark part of the seven rock ninjas lined up, there are dozens of grass ninjas scattered in a larger number.

No matter who looks at it, the fact that so many ninjas are facing each other is like a precursor to the outbreak of a great war. But this is really just a transit incident, and although the shadow of the great war has dissipated, the nerves of the ninjas and ninjas are still tense.

……

The news about the visit of the special envoy of Iwakuin to Fengyin Village has long been grasped by the intelligence agencies of each ninja village. At the same time, all kinds of speculation began to brew.

Konoha, Sarutobi Hizashi, and Danzo, as well as the Konoha Intelligence Minister, are talking about the intention of Iwakuin Village to send an envoy into Fengyin Village.

"Iwakuin didn't deliberately hide it, according to the diplomatic order of Iwakuin Village, this is just a simple ninjutsu exchange," Tuan Zang half-closed his eyes, his hands supported the cane in front of him, and his whole face was expressionless, "The special ninja of the "puppet specialty", heh, when did Iwakuin Village master the puppet technique of Sha Ninja? ”

"And the personnel sent by Iwakuin Village, Uehara Tushi," Tuanzang's eyes finally moved, and his fingers flicked his cane, "This little ghost is Iwakure's newly appointed intelligence minister, but according to our intelligence, he was dismissed not long ago. ”

"Because of the peculiarity of the identity of the intelligence ninja, did you change it to a normal ninja? Hmph, clumsy excuse. "Iwain Village must be plotting that we don't know about the conspiracy, so Ape Fei, we have to take measures to deal with it." ”

Taking away the pipe, a large smoke ring spit out, Sarufei leaned back again, and nodded comfortably, "Communicate with Sha Shinobi, Konoha Fang also has the idea of sending ninjas to learn the knowledge of puppetry," Sarufei knocked his pipe, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Whether Sha Shinobi agrees or not, we can know their attitude." ”

If the Sand Ninja refuses to send Konoha ninjas to "exchange and learn" the puppetry, and only agrees to Iwakure, then it means that Iwakure and Sand Ninja have really established a relationship that is not good for Konoha.

In this case, things are very troublesome, and the country of grass will deploy more ninja troops to Konoha for a long time, and the Konoha Ninja School, which is expanding in scale, will be transferred a large number of teachers, and the training progress of the new generation of ninjas will inevitably be affected.

If Sha Shinobi agrees to both Konoha and Iwakuin's proposal for the exchange of puppetry, then it can at least be considered that Iwakure has premeditated his intention to reach some agreement with Sha Ninja.

In the same way, Konoha also has to try to make contact with the sand ninja, and reaching an agreement with the sand ninja is secondary, the key is to destroy the plan of Iwain Village.

As the host, the sand ninja was also a little depressed, and Iwakure sent a ninja to the village of Kagakure in the name of exchange puppetry, and soon after the three generations of Kazekage agreed, Konoha also sent an exchange ninja or envoy for this reason.

The Iwayin Fang delivered 10 million taels of Iwayin coins, and as a special skill of puppetry, the tuition fee of the original earth and stone. Konoha went toe-for-tat, and also delivered eight million taels of Konoha coins, according to the exchange law between the rock hidden coin and the Konoha coin, even the value was the same.

"Iwakure's intentions are unknown," the three generations of Kazekage couldn't guess Onoki's true intentions, according to normal thinking, what Iwakuin puppet specialty was particularly ninja, it was ridiculous, "It seems that the key to the problem is the envoy sent by Iwakuin Village." ”

"We need to learn more from him."

"Uehara Earth and Stone ......," the three generations of Kazekage muttered the name.

The commander and founder of the Red Spider, the Fierce Tiger of Iwa, and the underground bounty organization all know Uehara's information.

sacrificing his own safety to gain prestige, probably only Uehara himself thinks it's worth it. Most ninjas are very low-key, like Kakuto, who is strong but survives until the late stages of Shippuden, when Konoha with strong intelligence skills does not know the slightest bit of information about him.

If it's like Uehara, the horns will probably hang up long ago.

The Konoha intelligence ninja also went to the sand ninja to exchange puppetry, in the hope of discovering Iwakure's conspiracy. There is no conspiracy, Uehara is really going to learn puppetry, in order to better control the prosthetic limbs and make up for the lost combat power.
