Chapter 507: The Dark Room

For three whole days, Mizuki replaced himself in Hidden Sand Village with a physical clone, while his body kept wandering around the various regions of the Kingdom of Wind.

Whether it's the dark and damp caves of insects and beasts, the crevices of cliffs, or even unfathomable underground caves, there are many places marked by Mizuki with the mark of Flying Thunder God.

"Now, I'm finally satisfied."

In this densely packed layout, without any special means, the possibility of escaping Mizuki's pursuit is too small. The only thing that limits Mizuki's performance is his own chakra.

Looking at a marked place on the map, no matter how you look at it, it is foolproof.

If you want to act, you should find a time when the weather is clear and the line of sight is good. The fleeing people always hope that the situation is complicated and easy to take advantage of, and the daytime is more beneficial to Mizuki.

Tianzang closed the map and put it away.

"During this period of time, we also searched for some suspicious places, but found nothing. It seems that it is still quite difficult to find Orochimaru."

"It's definitely not found in ordinary places, only those places that are inaccessible may still be possible."

If Orochimaru's hiding place was so easy to find, the "Xiao" organization would have found it long ago.

Although the location and direction are not very clear, Mizuki still has a little impression of the real hiding place of Orochimaru.

"The official start of action tomorrow has already delayed a lot of time. If the delay continues, maybe he will really run away."

This time, it may be Mizuki's biggest move before Sanwei's resurrection, to make up for his last shortcoming, and then make preparations for the future.

"Act together or search separately?"

"Let's look for it separately, so hurry up, each person is responsible for several areas, and if you find something, gather and act!"

Tianzang and Sasuke nodded in agreement, Mizuki was the main force to deal with this Orochimaru, and the two were just assistants.

...

Finding someone is actually quite a test of patience. Even if you know the general location, finding someone who is willing to hide in the vast sand sea of ​​the Kingdom of Wind is undoubtedly as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, one thing is certain is that the location of Orochimaru is mostly near the east.

"The Great Sand Dunes of the East" is an important stronghold of Orochimaru in the Land of Wind. In the original book, in order to complete the task issued by Payne to kill Orochimaru and regain the Kongchen ring that was taken away, Didara and the Red Sand Scorpion once fought against Orochimaru in the Land of Winds. The place of the battle, Right off the beaten track.

Now that you know the general direction, you probably won't deviate from the general direction. The Red Sand Scorpion died early, and I don't know if there has been a joint pursuit of Orochimaru by Didara. If this happened If it changes, then the base of Orochimaru should not have been exposed, and it is very likely to continue to stay there.

The result of the search for Orochimaru was not smooth, and the climate in the Land of Winds was also very uncomfortable. Even though the weather was clear and clear, there would be a sudden gust of wind, and the wind and sand rolled up were really annoying. Green mountains and green waters, this kind of ghost place is really not used to.

Although the task on the surface was carried out smoothly, after two days of searching, there was still no good news, and Tianzang didn't seem to be too anxious.

"Would you like to find some guides from Hidden Sand Village?"

Unlike other countries, many places have obvious signs to identify them, but the country of the wind does not have this condition. The endless sand dunes are almost the same in the eyes of outsiders. If you don’t have the ability to distinguish the direction, you will get lost. matter.

"Look for another two days, if there is still no result, then ask a few natives to help."

Just like Mizuki, who already knows the general location, even the place name and the features of the landform, but still can't find this ghostly place. It seems that only the locals know where it is.

"Tianzang, who is your contact with Shayin Village, is it credible?"

Tianzang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and admitted: "Anbu trained several reliable insiders many years ago to infiltrate Shayin Village. Today, there are still three of them in important positions!"

"I see!"

Even if they are allies, it is natural for them to be wary of each other, but...

"Why did no key news reach the village when Shayin Village betrayed last year?"

Tianzang replied with some embarrassment: "In the past year, the hidden sand village has been understaffed, so these people have the opportunity to go further. When the hidden sand village attacked the village last year, although they did not get accurate information, they still had Relevant suspicious information and warnings were sent to the village, but for some reason they were not passed on to the key person in charge!"

"Is there an internal problem in our village? It's really ironic!"

Only Shimura Danzo can play a role in the Anbu system.

"It wasn't until later that we found out that Hidden Sand Village was unreliable, and we took the initiative to contact, and we got some undetailed information. After Hidden Sand Village surrendered, when Master Tsunade rectified the Anbu system, we discovered that there was actually such a large The problem, this is our dereliction of duty..."

Well, these top-secret information really makes people feel a little helpless. Whether Danzang is dissatisfied with the policy of the third generation, or induces the imminent Shayin Village to throw itself into the net, this action has indeed brought great losses to the village. No matter from which point of view, the combination of Sand Hidden Village and Orochimaru is just hitting a stone with an egg, but once the conflict starts, it is basically impossible to control the situation.

Thinking of this, Mizuki roughly guessed the purpose of Tenzo and Uchiha Sasuke coming to Sand Hidden Village, taking advantage of the opportunity of Shimura Danzo's declining influence, whether it is internal purge or re-establishing contact with Sand Hidden Village. Mizuki can't get involved in the matter of Tsunade and Anbe.

"Thank you for your candor, Tianzang!"

"You're welcome, it's okay for Mizuki Kaminin to know, but please keep it secret!"

"Naturally."

Now that I have a reliable person on my side, some things can be more direct,

"Ask the trustworthy village nephew, where is the "Great Sand Dune of the East"!"

"Understood, there will be news soon!"

Tianzang did not ask about the specific significance of this place, nor did he inquire about the source of Mizuki's news.

Although both of them obeyed Tsunade's orders, they belonged to different systems after all. Some things, it's better not to know too much, because it doesn't make much sense.

...

Sand Hidden Village Ninja School, after a few days of communication, the students here are almost familiar with a few guests from Konoha. As a contact person, Temari is still qualified, and cooperating with Yume Shino can be regarded as letting Sand Hidden Village understand What happened to the basic education in Konoha Village. Of course, it is absolutely impossible to completely copy it. The degree of wealth and the population base are far different. Some policies are suitable for Muye Village, but they need to be weighed in Shayin Village.

Hinata Hinata, a noble lady from a famous family, is very popular. Not one or two people are interested in rolling eyes and soft fists, and Hinata generously demonstrated its power. The good upbringing cultivated by the elite education he received since he was a child is indeed very popular in Sha Yin Village.

As for Inuzuka Ya, he didn't have the mind to take care of children, but was very interested in Mizuki's talented student, Ziluo, an older student who only knew physical skills. Some unconvinced Inuzuka even took the initiative to challenge this guy who is not even a ninja.

In the final result, the point-and-stop competition ended with Inuzuka Ya slightly winning, and Zi Luo, who was unable to fight with all his strength, has not yet reached the point where hard work can be turned into real strength.

"Sure enough, he is a master!"

The strength of fists and feet made it difficult for Inuzuka Ya to deal with it without using the imitation beast ninja. His speed and strength are not much inferior to his own, but it can be seen that this Ziluo has not received systematic physical training. , relying entirely on the physical fitness and fighting instinct accumulated through hard work and sweat.

"I have a chance, I hope to have a good fight!"

It's a pity that you can't act recklessly when you meet an opponent who is worthy of a battle.

"my pleasure!"

"However, you'd better become an official ninja first. I don't have any sense of accomplishment if I win a guy who isn't even a ninja!"

What Zi Luo said was suddenly full of depression, and the feeling of sympathy just now disappeared.

In the attic not far away, Mizuki was watching what happened on the school grounds through the open window.

"It's really a happy and harmonious scene!"

Who would have thought that there was a war between these two villages last year? This may be the true portrayal of the turbulent ninja order. In this world where the distribution of resources is extremely unfair, the Land of Fire and Konoha Village are the focus of all ninjas. Show mercy, even former allies may not be reliable.

At this moment, Mizuki's heart suddenly moved, a small piece of paper floated in from the window, Mizuki grabbed it casually, pinched it in his hand, turned it over and looked at it, the palm of his hand flickered, and the small piece of paper melted For ashes blown by the wind.

『The Great Sand Dune in the East is not the Great Sand Dune in the east of Hidden Sand Village. It was mislead by the name. 』

Mizuki immediately felt amused by the guys in the ninja world whose names are all useless materials. The kage of Konoha Village is called Hokage, but none of the five Hokages is good at fire escape. True to its name. The others are wood escape, water escape, wind escape, and even time-space ninjutsu and medical ninjutsu, which have nothing to do with fire at all. There is also Fengying, and there is no one who is good at wind escape, but at least the name of the village is Sand Yin Village, and it is not outrageous to be good at using sand.

There is also a name, Temari's name is not true, neither handicrafts nor hand blankets; Kankuro ranks second; Kuroto is not black at all; and Mizuki, who knows nothing about Mizudun and Mudun.

In terms of place names, the Valley of the End is not a valley, but a big waterfall; Kikyo Mountain City has no Kikyo; there is also the Great Sand Dune of the East, which means the big sand dune named "East", and has nothing to do with the East. No one knows how the name came about, but it's been called that since a long time ago.

It turned out that this was the reason for wasting a few days, which really made Mizuki dumbfounded.

"The guys in Shayin Village don't play their cards according to the routine!"

The Great Sand Dune in the East is still a bit far from the hidden sand village, and there are few people there. If there is any battle, it is basically impossible to be discovered unless someone happens to pass by.

"It's not too late, let's go now!" 』

...

The Great Sand Dune in the East that Mizuki never forgets, a giant white bird hovers over this super large circular rocky soil dune with a circumference of several kilometers.

"It's here. Without the help of Xie, a native who is familiar with the terrain, it's really hard to find!"

A narrow voice came out from behind the vortex mask that Ah Fei was wearing,

"Senior Didala, it's up to you! Orochimaru is below, go and kill him!"

"You don't need to talk too much, Ah Fei!"

Didara has long been impatient with this chatty new partner,

"You don't need to teach me how to do it. If you are afraid, just hide and watch me complete the task!"
