NOVEL WEB Chapter 52 Investigation
the next day,
Two familiar figures appeared outside Konoha Village. They were Naraku and Yamato. After a night's rest, they set out to perform their mission again.
But fortunately, this time they were performing a simple investigation mission, and they were just assisting.
Naraku felt that this mission should be relatively simple, but when he arrived at the border of the Land of Fire, he didn't think so.
Fire Nation Frontier
Guard towers stand tall, and there are two ninjas in each guard tower who are always on guard.
Nara Shikamichi frowned slightly as he looked at the information in his hand.
"Sir, there have been many casualties at the border where Yuno Country and Wave Country meet our country. They are already putting pressure on us, asking us to give them an explanation," a ninja knelt on one knee and faced the deer. Tao said.
"It's really troublesome!" Shidao rubbed his swollen head. He didn't know if it was because of his age, but his headache was getting more and more serious.
Nara Shikamichi, a ninja who was the same generation as the Third Generation, should be Shikamaru's grandfather based on seniority, and he was solely responsible for guarding the border.
Ever since the fourth generation was killed in battle, there has been almost no peace here on the border. Either people died here for no reason today, or a ninja from a certain ninja village will come to test it tomorrow.
Especially recently, this situation has become even worse. Even some small nearby countries dare to test Konoha.
Shikamichi knew this was because there was a Kage-level strong man in the village who became a rebel ninja.
"Have the reinforcements sent by the village not arrived yet?" Shidao asked.
"Not yet. The last summons said it would arrive tomorrow at the latest."
"Tomorrow, that's still too late. As for the Kingdom of Waves and the Kingdom of Tang, haha, let me give them an explanation. Then I will go over and give them an explanation in person!"
A sneer appeared on Shikamichi's old face. In fact, he knew very well that if it was just the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Waves, even if they were lent ten courages, they would not dare to do this to Konoha. All this was just the cloud behind them. It's just a prank now.
If such a situation had happened before, Shikamichi would definitely suggest that the Hokage start a war with Kumogakure directly, but now, forget it, Konoha today does not have that strength.
He took two people to the Country of Waves, where they met the daimyo of the Country of Waves and had a heated exchange of words. Finally, after Shikamichi promised that the problem would be solved and the murderer found within three days, the Country of Waves temporarily compromised. .
The subsequent Tang Country did the same thing.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Konoha would have such a day," Yuno Kuni's daimyo was a fat man who looked to be in his forties.
At this time, he was sneering.
The next moment, a sturdy figure stood in front of him.
"Ninja-sama," the daimyo's attitude immediately became respectful after seeing the visitor.
With short white hair and dark skin in sharp contrast, Kurui looked at the daimyo in front of him with a smile, enjoying the feeling of being respected.
"The Land of Fire, Konoha, sooner or later will be my territory, Kumogakure!"
......
Ludao on the other side returned to the camp with a bad expression.
After talking with the two daimyo of Wave Country and Yuno Country, Shikamichi confirmed one thing, that is, Kumogakure could no longer hold back.
This is not good news for Konoha today.
"Forget it, let's leave this kind of thing to Hiruzen!"
Shikado shook his head, and then asked someone to pass the news to the village.
The next day, Naraku and Yamato arrived here. As soon as they arrived, they
He was brought to Nara Shikamichi.
"Uzumaki Naraku, Tenzo,"
"He's Kushina's younger brother!"
"But at this age?"
Shikamichi estimated that the two of them together may be less than 20 years old, and he had some doubts about the strength of Naraku and others.
After all, Nara Shikamichi has not returned to the village for a long time, and Naraku is also relatively low-key, so it is normal for Shikamichi to not know his strength.
"Let's try it first and then talk!"
Although he is a little worried, he currently has too few manpower and cannot spare anyone to deal with this matter. He has no choice but to leave it to Naraku and the others.
"After all, he is a member of ANBU, and even if his strength is different, it is not much different!" He thought in his heart, and then told the story about the unexplained death of someone on the border between Wave Country and Yu Country.
As for compromising to the two daimyo, he didn't say anything about such shameless things. He just said that Naraku and the others would investigate the reason and then report it to him.
.....
"Sandai is a scammer. He promised to assist, but now he has to execute it alone," Naraku cursed in his mind after walking out of the camp.
Although he was extremely reluctant, he had already arrived here and he didn't want to turn around and leave, so he could only continue to perform the mission.
"People died for no reason, and they were still on the border between the Kingdom of Waves, the Kingdom of Tang, and the Kingdom of Fire." Naraku recalled the content of the mission carefully, and faintly noticed something was wrong.
Then he and Yamato first came to the border of the Country of Waves, where the unexplained death was.
The traces here seemed to have been cleaned up by special personnel. The two of them carefully explored here and found nothing unusual.
"Kagura's eyes, open!"
After a slight hesitation, Naraku opened Kagura's inner eye, and he began to carefully examine the energy changes nearby to see if he could find any clues.
But maybe because it took too long, he didn't find anything. He just felt that the thunder attribute chakra was relatively strong nearby.
Naraku shook his head slightly, and without thinking much about it, he called Yamato and left together.
In a tavern in the Country of Waves!
The two people dressed up in disguise came to this tavern to see if they could get some useful information here.
But it was obvious that they were overthinking it. After a whole morning, they didn't get any useful information here.
Naraku frowned slightly, thinking carefully about the unexplained death of people on the border.
Although this ninja world is very cruel, and deaths often occur, the main thing is the death of people on the border is a bit strange.
"The country of waves, the country of soup,"
"Could it be?"
Suddenly, Naraku seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up. In order to verify his conjecture, he ran to the street and bought a simple world map.
On the map, the Country of Fire is almost in the center of the world, while the Country of Waves and the Country of Yu are to the northeast of the Country of Fire.
Going forward, it will be the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Water.
"Thunder Country, Cloud Ninja!"
"It seems like they are behind the scenes," Naraku thought to himself.
The Kingdom of Thunder is the country with the most powerful military power in Naruto, but Naraku feels that the Kumo ninjas in the Kingdom of Thunder are a group of unreasonable and bandit-like characters.
