Chapter 382: Turbulent Balance(1/2)
From the Country of Fields to the Country of Bears, we almost have to completely pass through the Country of Fire from north to south.
Even a ninja cannot reach such a long distance in a day or two.
It was okay when we were in the Land of Fields. Since entering the Land of Fire, the speed of the five Sound Ninjas has obviously dropped a lot.
In order to avoid the sight of Konoha ninjas, the group tried to stay away from densely populated areas, and stayed away from places where traces might be detected.
As a result, the progress of the five sound ninjas inevitably slowed down.
"Hey, Arashi, Lord Orochimaru asked us to go to the Bear Country. What is the mission?"
Sakon asked with some dissatisfaction. When they were still among the "Four Sound Ninjas", Sakon was the strongest and most prestigious, and acted mainly on his own. Since the rise of Fuma Arashi, the situation has changed somewhat.
Forget about Tayuya's nymphomaniac, Jirobo, who is not very smart, often hangs out with him. Gradually, even Kidomaru begins to remain neutral and no longer stands on Sakon's side.
In the final analysis, Feng Molan is getting stronger and stronger, more and more confident, and his own "persuasiveness" is enough, especially in the Oto Ninja Village where the jungle is strong and the strong is the strongest, it is the last word to be able to fight.
After receiving Orochimaru's Earth Curse Seal, Fuma Arashi's status rose significantly, and he began to show off his extraordinary talents.
In the past, the two of them, left and right, joined forces to activate the second state of the curse seal, and were more certain to suppress Feng Molan.
That's not necessarily the case now.
Having seen Fuma Arashi in the first state of the Curse Seal once, Sakon couldn't bear the grievances of the past, and the right to speak among the five sound ninjas gradually fell into Fuma Arashi's hands.
This time, they were not summoned by Lord Orochimaru. Fumaran himself gave an "oral order", and the five sound ninjas hurried to the Bear Country. The others did not even know the specific content of the mission.
Tayu was not angry and glanced at the "has-been boss" Sakon, and responded coldly:
"You are not the main person to complete the task anyway, so why are you so anxious?"
"you……"
Jirobo and Kidomaru unconsciously fell a few steps behind, not wanting to get involved in the dispute between Sakon and Tayuya.
The leader, Feng Molan, did not look back and casually suppressed the dispute between the two.
"Originally, this mission is only related to me. However, considering that we are companions who stay together for warmth after all, I brought you here together. Master Orochimaru also agreed. Don't worry too much. If nothing happens,
, it’s just a trip, there won’t be any fighting.”
"Oh! Can you tell me what it is specifically?"
"It must have something to do with my former relatives, the Fuuma clan. After I defected to Lord Orochimaru, the others moved to the Bear Country and formed a small shinobi village called Hoshigakure. The backer behind it is the Furusugi family. We
I'm here just to check out the rumors and see if I can get on the line..."
"That really has nothing to do with us."
The only person who can come in handy is Feng Molan's own identity, and the other five sound ninjas are all "running with him".
"I haven't been back for so long. Does your family still recognize you?"
"It's hard to say, but it should be possible!"
With a hesitant tone and uncertain words, Feng Molan perfectly performed the identity of a "wanderer" who has not returned home for a long time.
In general, Sakon Ukon, Tayuya, Kidomaru and Jirobo are extremely talented in the field of combat, but they are very lacking in understanding of how to deal with the world, and the so-called conspiracy and conspiracy are even more unfamiliar.
In fact, it is natural to think about it. Except for the special case of Yakushi Kabuto, none of Orochimaru's subordinates are particularly smart. If they were really smart, they would not be easily fooled by Orochimaru.
Feng Molan is not necessarily that smart, otherwise he would not trust the big snake and trap his compatriots to death, and he would also fall into a miserable situation.
Even so, Feng Molan still has an overwhelming advantage in IQ compared to others.
"Aren't you a genius of the Wind Demon Clan? Will they still neglect you?"
"Who can make a name for themselves, who has never been called a genius? I have enjoyed the support of my family, but so far I have not provided any help to the family. Strictly speaking, I owe them. So, no matter how I am treated
normal……"
In fact, Feng Molan really didn't know what he would encounter after going back.
Over the years, although there have been intelligence exchanges with Gu Shan Bu Shui, they have no substantial contact with the Feng Mo clan, and the information they passed was only passed on.
Without direct contact for so long, no one knows how much of the friendship from back then is left. In fact, Feng Molan didn't dare to do anything too much about the loss of moving from the Country of Fields to the Country of Bears, and still seeing a few acquaintances.
Hope more.
"Why don't you seem to show much joy?"
Seeing that Feng Molan's expression was not very good, Tayu couldn't help but ask with concern.
"I'm a little worried. Lord Orochimaru wants to cooperate with the people of the Furusugi family and use me as a matchmaker, but I don't know if we can achieve our goal."
"Anyway, it's a good thing. It's not like other people who don't even have a family member anymore."
"Right."
In any case, Fuma Arashi also has a group of blood relatives of the same race. The other four of the five sound ninjas, let alone the same race, don't even have any friends.
After joining Orochimaru's command, there are too few people like Fuma Arashi who still have worries outside.
After three days and four nights of walking and stopping, the group finally passed through the Country of Fire and arrived at the strange Country of Bears.
Unlike that barbaric country that was rumored to be full of bandits and poisonous smog, this country located on the southern peninsula of the Ninja Continent does not seem to be as remote as imagined.
The newly opened road was very spacious, and there were many business travelers passing by. From time to time, the escorting ninjas and the five sound ninjas passed by. Although it attracted the attention of many people, because they were wearing sound ninja forehead protectors, no one was there.
Deliberately stepped forward to interrogate.
They are all allies of Konoha Village, so how close they are to each other.
It was the first time for everyone to come here, and none of the five of them knew the way. They wanted to find a few locals to ask about the situation and check their own image, but Feng Molan, who had the strongest affinity, had to go out in person.
After stopping a caravan guard who was also heading towards the hinterland of the Bear Country, Feng Molan asked for help very kindly.
"Are you going to Star Ninja Village? It's not easy to walk there. There are many cliffs around. Without Star Ninja to lead the way, it's easy to get lost in the poisonous mist of the deep valley and be unable to get out. Almost every once in a while, there are unlucky people who want to sneak in.
The bones were found.”
"Is it difficult to walk?"
"Of course! After all, it's not ordinary people who can stand firm in this kind of ghost place. Is this your first time in the Bear Country? A few years ago, where was there any decent road to walk around here? Almost every mountain top
There are mountain bandits guarding the place, and rebel ninjas who do all kinds of evil are everywhere. Since the establishment of the Star Ninja Village, the situation has gotten much better, the roads have become open, and the routes have been opened with the Kingdom of Sichuan and the Kingdom of Wind on the other side of the sea..."
On the surface, Feng Molan looks like a big boy next door with a warm smile on his face. Even a stranger would find it difficult to be wary of him.
The chaotic and evil country has changed due to the birth of a ninja village. Business routes have become smoother, public security has improved, and the lives of local people have also improved a lot. It has also attracted many businessmen from other places to do business.
only……
"What is the origin of the Star Ninja Village to have such ability?"
"With the Konoha Village as an ally and the Major Governor Furusugi as my backer, what can't be done? I won't mention the Konoha Village, but the Furusugi family knows it, right? It's the first-class wealthy family in the ninja world..."
Feng Molan smiled reservedly:
"Brother is not simple either. Knowing the existence of the Gu Shan clan, he must be a well-informed person."
These days, most people have been trapped on the land all their lives and have never been out of the countryside. Their knowledge is only at the level of local family elders, wealthy businessmen and big landowners. They have not reached a certain level, or they have traveled far and wide to gain a wide range of knowledge.
It is impossible to even hear of the existence of the Furusugi family.
"I guess you have some knowledge..."
The warrior with the sword at his waist raised his chin proudly,
"My ancestor was also a member of the royal family whose name was given the name Miao, and served as a young lady of the master's family. However, I had a blind date with this generation of young governor Gushan, and almost became a beautiful young lady. There are many things that others don't know, but I still know a little bit about them.
of."
"Oh? It's the young governor Bu Shui. People don't seem to have a deep impression of him..."
"What does the changing winds and clouds in the sky have to do with the little ants on the ground?"
The warrior curled his lips in disdain,
"If you haven't reached that level, you don't even know what it means to be a true nobleman. Only the famous names from various countries and the Five Shadow Matches can compare with them. No matter how powerful they are, you won't understand. You only need to know, give it to Gu Shan
The young governor is a bitch and is more prestigious than a famous name in a small country."
"I have learned a lesson. Big brother, I don't know how much you know about Star Ninja Village. We are here to discuss important matters, but we can't find any way."
"When you get to the center of the Bear Country, star ninjas will become more common. Just find someone to get on the line and pass the message on your behalf. Naturally, someone will take the initiative to find you."
"It's that simple?"
"How complicated can a small country's Ninja Village be? The speaker of the current Hoshi Ninja Village is Hansaki of the Fuma clan. It was he who integrated the large and small forces of the Bear Country and reorganized it into the current Hoshi Ninja Village. He got the ancient cedar
The young governor’s appreciation. After all, she is from a famous family, and she is quite capable. Apart from her weak strength, she is pretty good in other aspects, and she is relatively easy to talk to.”
The two of them walked and talked, and after almost getting the information they wanted, Feng Molan said goodbye to each other.
The other four of the five sound ninja who had been waiting appeared again, and Tayuya complained even more dissatisfied:
"What took so long?"
“Only by dispelling other people’s concerns can we ask more detailed questions!”
"How's it going? Did you succeed?"
"Roughly the same."
