16 years old, fourth generation Mizukage

Chapter 156 The Clue Pointing to Hidden Sand

Because among the three Kirigakure Jōnin who were attacked and killed, Minzuki Aoba was attacked near the Oni Country and the Marsh Country, so Uchiha Shisui abducted on the way to the Country of Wind The Kingdom of Ghosts took a look.

Compared with the ruins and devastation after being ravaged by sprites two years ago, the Kingdom of Ghosts two years later has gradually recovered a little vitality, although it is said that a large number of people slaughtered by the ghost army could not recover for a while, causing many Small villages with good land are still vacant, but at least in towns and relatively large villages, people can already clearly see production activities.

What surprised Uchiha Shisui even more was that the once-destroyed Ghost Country has not only returned to its original state, but there are even signs of several restaurants that he had seen and tasted in Wuying Village. Using the eyesight of Sharingan to look carefully from the outside to the inside, you can also see many passing merchants wearing costumes from different countries, eating in these obviously newly opened restaurants.

"This is what the fourth generation called...cultural export, right?"

Watching a businessman in Earthland costume finally learn how to use a tool to open the crab that was almost as big as his face plate under the kind and patient teaching of the restaurant waiter, and he showed surprise after tasting the crab meat Uchiha Shisui shook his head involuntarily in the expression scene, remembering that he had no way to start facing a table full of seafood, but now he was able to tell the difference in their respective eating methods like a few treasures.

"Go to the Miko-sama again and ask if there is any relevant information, then go to the Land of Winds to find the reinforcements that the fourth generation told me before leaving..."

Thinking in this way, Uchiha Shisui turned to an unnoticed alley, and after a few moments, he rushed to the palace rebuilt by the witches of the country of ghosts, and then sneaked in silently.

As the religious and national leader of the ghost country, the daily affairs of the witches in the ghost country can still be called busy, especially when the country has just experienced the chaos of monsters and monsters, and the whole country is in a state of waiting to be rebuilt. When the kingdom of ghosts reached a new trade agreement and began to introduce some things that the kingdom of ghosts had never had before, the workload of the miko reached a level that was almost the same as when Rei Kaguya just took office.

This caused Uchiha Shisui to quietly appear in front of Mitreya, and when he took the initiative to greet her, Mitreya was stunned for at least three seconds before finally realizing the fact that someone was calling his name.

"Looks like Miko-sama's work is quite hard..."

After stopping Maitreya from being too slow to call for help, Uchiha Shisui said to her with some helplessness.

"It's worth working hard. After all, the ghost country was ravaged like that, and part of my responsibility is part of it. If the ghost country can be re-prospered, it doesn't matter if I sacrifice a little."

Maitreya shook his head, then looked at Uchiha Shisui and asked curiously:

"However, why did Shisui-kun suddenly come to our ghost country? If I remember correctly, you should be the younger generation that the fourth Mizukage attaches great importance to, right?"

"It's because he values ​​me too much that he always asks me to perform these troublesome tasks."

After Uchiha Shisui complained a little about Kaguya Rei's pressure on him, the conversation turned to the main topic, and after listening to Uchiha Shisui's intentions, Maitreya showed a pensive expression and fell silent for a while After a while, she said with some hesitation:

"Sorry, I don't have much contact with that Minazuki Aoba Jonin. Regarding the disappearance of him and his team, there is really not much information to provide from the Demon Kingdom... However, one of my guards, I did report a very strange piece of news, I don’t know if it will be of any use to you.”

"What news?" Uchiha Shisui sat upright and asked very sincerely.

"That is, the guard's hometown is located on the border between the country of marsh and the country of ghosts. When he went home to visit his relatives that day, he saw a very unusual dark cloud appearing in the direction of the country of marsh."

Uchiha Shisui frowned slightly at Mitreya's words, "Dark cloud? Anomaly? Can you describe in more detail what abnormality exists, Miko?"

Maitreya tried hard to recall for a while, and said uncertainly:

"Because of the distance, the guard couldn't see very clearly. When he reported, he saw that strange dark cloud changing into many different forms in a short period of time, and then suddenly changed into disappeared again...

I'm not sure if what he saw was a real scene, but Shisui-kun, since you mentioned that the place where Minazuki Aoba Kami Shinobu disappeared was on the border between the country of ghosts and the country of marsh, then this is That's the only clue we can offer here. "

Maitreya bowed and apologized to Uchiha Shisui with some regrets, frightened Uchiha Shisui who was thinking about it, and immediately got up to return the gift. After repeatedly emphasizing that Kirigakure did not mean to blame the country of ghosts, Uchiha Shisui finally It was under Maitreya's gaze that he began to analyze the news she provided.

Assuming that what the guard sees is not false, then the dark cloud that can change shape multiple times in a short period of time, and disappear as soon as it disappears, is obviously an abnormal scene formed by the ninjutsu launched by the ninja. There are not many ninjutsu on this point, and considering that there are still poisonous needles and wreckage of the puppet where Aoba Shangren disappeared, then there is almost only one answer left——

The blood follower boundary in Shayin Village can control the magnetic escape of iron sand.

But in Sand Hidden Village right now, it seems that the only person who can use the Magnetic Escape Blood Succession Boundary is the fourth Kazekage Rasa, and Luo Sha himself is not a puppet master. If the assailant is really a ninja from Sand Hidden, then this lineup headed by the Fourth Kazekage is a bit too exaggerated...

"If Minazuki Aoba disappeared in the land of the wind, it would be logical for Sand Yin to send this kind of lineup to capture him, a ninja with the limit of ice escape and blood succession, but the place where he disappeared is the land of ghosts On the border of the Land of Marsh, the distance from the Land of Winds and Hidden Sand Village is too far..."

Because of Kaguya Rei's reminder, Uchiha Shisui knew that Sagakushi Village was probably not the mastermind behind the capture of Minazuki Aoba, but judging from the traces left by the real murderer intentionally or accidentally, he was a A ninja who is absolutely inseparable from Hidden Sand Village...

"Is the murderer a ninja from another village who has a huge hatred with Hidden Sand Village and wants to bring trouble to the east...or is it a rebellious ninja who once belonged to Hidden Sand Village but left Hidden Sand Village for some reason?"

Judging from various signs, Uchiha Shisui is more inclined to the latter answer.

But having a guess does not mean that he is really close to the answer. He still needs more information and clues as support to have a chance to find the murderer who may be Sha Yin's rebellion, and connect him with the organization behind him. Claw out of the darkness together.

　Still guarded, my full attendance...
