Chapter 22: The Land of Tea
The Tea Country is a small country near the Fire Country, and it has a close relationship with the Fire Country, but in peacetime, the escort mission of the Mist Hidden Ninja is not dangerous even if it involves there, but since the disappearance of the three generations of Kazekage, the situation has become tense, in short, the disappearance of the four people this time has made the keen people feel that something is wrong.
On the way, Ruri Aoi and his party also introduced their abilities. Hoshino is a perceptual ninja, and is good at the use of ninja equipment, trap making, and counter-reconnaissance, etc., and is the main figure in the search for the four missing shinobi; In addition to being an ordinary water-attribute ninja, Fujiwara Norika is also a medical ninja; And Aoi Ruri is just an ordinary combatant, even so, the other three don't dare to underestimate Aoi Ruri, who became a middle ninja at the age of 9 is considered a genius anywhere; As a ninja who has performed countless similar or more difficult missions, he is the one who ensures the safety of this squad.
One of the most convenient paths from Wuyin Village to the country of tea is to take a boat to the country of waves and then to the country of tea. Therefore, the four of them also have to take this route.
"It seems that this world is really small, but Carddo shouldn't have invaded the country of waves at this time." Aoi Ruri leaned on the side panel of the boat and looked at the sea, looking at the vast blue waves and sighed: "It feels so good to go to sea......" Completely forgetting the painful experience of seasickness the previous times, the experience of making the escort not know who was protecting whom had been ignored by her subconscious......
At lunchtime, the four of them met a stunned young man, who was tall, muscular, and had various scars on his face and body. He didn't seem to have seen a ninja, at least from the Fog Hidden Village......
"I didn't expect the imp to run so far!" The other party said defiantly to the four Aoi Ruri who were eating around a table, "Hey! Kid, it's not that fun out there......"
Aoi Ruri was a little stunned, and after reacting, she was a little speechless, can't you see the obvious uniform...... The other three didn't seem to take the man to heart.
However, the man who felt ignored was already a little angry, and then continued his trick of death: "Little ghost, I'm talking to you!" That ugly little imp over there, with a face that looks like a shark, really laughs at me......"
Before the words fell, Fujiwara Norika and Hoshino Toshiki put down their chopsticks in unison, and instead looked at him with sympathy. Ruri Aoi remembered some rumors, as if the dried persimmon ghost shark hated others calling him a shark the most......
The oni shark didn't seem to have any expression, but the faint light of the small eyes made Aoi Ruri secretly say bad in her heart.
Aoi Ruri immediately kicked the man's leg (height factor) before the ghost shark could make a move, and the giant man of at least two hundred pounds fell in response,
Aoi Ruri stepped on the other party's stomach fiercely, and the other party spat out a mouthful of blood, "It seems that it is still very cooperative......" Aoi Ruri thought with satisfaction, but her expression was still very angry, "What's wrong with the shark face, I just feel that the shark face is very good-looking, you ugly ......" The leg also kept greeting, and the bald man seemed to be more cooperative, making all kinds of miserable screams, which made everyone in the same room feel pain when they listened to it......
"Don't blame me, at least you don't have to die......" Ruri Aoi said silently in her heart.
Sure enough, the oni shark didn't make any moves in the end, while Fujiwara Norika and Hoshino Toshi were a little surprised, but Aoi Ruri could feel that the dried persimmon oni shark was much closer to him......
"Doesn't it seem that difficult to get along with......" Ruri Aoi thought with some smugness.
In the afternoon, I arrived at the country of waves, which was still relatively wealthy at this time, but there were no ninjas or even skilled samurai in the whole country, so it was impossible to protect their wealth, so it was easy to be involved in the tragedy of being involved by the Cado group in the future. Hoshino used his sentient powers to search carefully, but found no trace of the missing ninja, and the four of them boarded a boat to the country of tea the next morning.
There was nothing to do all the way, and soon we arrived in the land of tea.
The country of tea, just like its name, can be seen everywhere are teahouses, there are many varieties of tea, and there are also special eating toys, but they all have one characteristic, that is, expensive! Very ordinary things will sell for a very high price. There were few pedestrians on the streets, and the pace was fast, making the four of them feel out of place......
The group soon sensed that something was wrong, that the current atmosphere in the country was oppressive, too depressing......
In a teahouse, the four of them quickly got the reason, and the quadrennial Motorogi Shrine festival was about to start again!
Only then did Ruri Aoi realize that it was now the 45th year of Konoha and the 61st year when Naruto's 7th class accepted this mission, which seemed to be just right from the time......
Then, the four of them first found the protected minister, and the other party received them very warmly, but when the dried persimmon ghost shark asked about the news of Asakawa Chiyu, it was to tell the four of them that they had left five days ago, and told them the specific route. After getting clues, the four of them were divided into two groups to search, Fujiwara Norika and Kazuki Oni Shark in a group, and Hoshino Toshi and Aoi Ruri in a group. Aoi Ruri also secretly admired this, "It's not only the output with the auxiliary, but also in line with the principle that men and women are not tired of working together." But I'm not a girl, and I don't like men......"
The sentient ninja's advantage in search is clear at a glance, and when the sun is about to set, in the primeval forest on the right side of the tea country, it is finally discovered......
"Be careful!" Hoshino suddenly shouted.
Startled by the sudden voice, Ruri Aoi immediately stopped, "This is ......" She lowered her head and barely saw a thin transparent line in the faint sunlight.
"I didn't expect that I would almost be caught in a trap and plot to ......" Ruri Aoi, who thinks she is talented in this area, is a little depressed, "It seems that the past two years have been a little smooth......"
Then she immediately said to Hoshino Toshi: "Look at the front and back and the ground, be careful that there are multiple traps...... which made Hoshino Toshi a little surprised, this little girl in front of her is not a rookie.
That's right, Ruri Aoi's rough attitude in front of her made Hoshino Toshi define her as a rookie......
Soon, the two of them felt that the piece of land in front of them was newly turned, and after digging it up, Ruri Aoi couldn't help but vomit, and Hoshino continued to classify her as a rookie.
Inside are four corpses that have been half decomposed, and you can already see the white bones of Mori, how have Aoi Ruri and the two ever seen such a situation?
After spitting, Aoi Ruri endured discomfort and looked at the corpses, the uniform of the misty shinobi, and the vague face, all explained the identity of these corpses well.
"Sure enough, are these people still dead......" The two ghost sharks who got the news also rushed over, in fact, several people had already thought of this possibility, but they were still shocked when they saw it.
"Now, it's a big trouble...... this is the idea of a few people. B-class missions, it is impossible to complete just by bringing back the death of four people, at least to find out who did it, and even to solve the murderer......
Norika Fujiwara asked, "Can you tell who did it?" ā
The dried persimmon ghost shark said: "Konoha is the most suspicious, let's arrest the Konoha ninja here first and ask about it......"
The other three were ashamed to do this kind of thing in the neighboring countries of the Fire Nation......
It's exciting to think about!
Judging from the traces at the scene, it can be judged that these four Fog Hidden Shinobi were solved without much resistance. Although the fatal damage was caused by a ninja, it is not difficult to tell that he has been severely injured by a large wind ninjutsu before......
Then, under the banknote offensive in various teahouses and bars, the oni shark and his party really got the trace of the Konoha ninja......
PS: Let's personally mention the construction of yƬ......
