Night

Wuxin, Yamagami Caizhi, and Shuilian followed a yellow dog and shuttled through the forest.

"Woof! Woof!"

The ninja dog Wangcai barked twice, jumped from the forest branches to the grass, and sniffed in a small bush.

Shuilian jumped in front of the bush, squatted down, pulled out the short knife on his back, slashed at the bush a few times, and then seemed to have found something and ducked into the bush.

"This is, blood! And the forehead protector! Captain!"

Shuilian retreated from the bush, holding a blood-stained Mist Hidden Head Protector.

"Wangcai, can we continue tracking?"

Wuxin's young face was full of seriousness, and he asked the ninja dog beside him.

"Woo..."

The ninja dog Wangcai sobbed and shook his head.

"Mai must have been ambushed, we must find him as soon as possible!"

There was a trace of worry in Shuilian's eyes, but the ninja dog brought them here, indicating that this was the final place that could be tracked within the tracking range.

Yamagami Caizhi held a kunai in her hand, remained alert, and said hesitantly:

"Didn't the captain give Mai a communication firework tube? She didn't even release the firework tube...

With the bloodstains and forehead protector, Mai, maybe..."

The implication is that Mai Hozuki is likely to be dead.

"Even the communication fireworks can't be released. This is the place with the strongest smell within Wangcai's tracking range. Maybe even the body has been dealt with."

Wuxin's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and after a simple analysis, he continued:

"Return to the camp! The business traveler still needs our protection. Report this matter to Murayama Yuto and let Murayama Yuto decide..."

"Yes!"

"Yes..."

The two of them promised with some uneasiness. Just after arriving at the Kingdom of Rivers, Mai Hozuki, a senior ninja with strong strength, disappeared during a normal reconnaissance and alert mission. With the bloodstains and forehead protector left behind, they both knew that Mai Hozuki was likely to have been killed.

Wuxin released the ninja dog's summoning technique and took the two back to the camp.

The reason for this search and rescue was that Wuxin had been waiting in the camp for a long time, but he couldn't wait for Mai Kizuna to return, so he took Yamagami Caizhi and Shuilian out to look for her.

Although Wuxin was the instigator, on the surface, his subordinates were missing, so he had to come out to search and rescue.

Now that the bloodstains and relics have been found, the other two can also analyze that Mai Kizuna is likely to be gone, so there is no need to look for her later.

"In a foreign country, you must be extremely vigilant! The Mizukage asked us to come here to investigate, which must be because there was a big conflict between Konoha and Sand Village.

Perhaps, the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are in a state of war. Ninjas in a state of stress are extremely dangerous!"

Wuxin, who was shuttling through the forest, reminded the two behind him.

"Yes!"

With the influence of Mai Kizuna's disappearance, the two did not need Wuxin to remind them, and they did not dare to relax their vigilance in this River Country.

The three returned to the camp. Wuxin asked Shuilian and Yamagami Caizhi to take turns to rest, and he went to the middle of the business trip alone.

Although the business trip was divided into three parts, the distance between them was not far, only a few kilometers apart.

Wuxin arrived at the camp of Yuto Murayama and found Yuto Murayama. He reported the disappearance of Mai Kizuna and his analysis.

Yuto Murayama looked calm and was silent for a long time. Wuxin couldn't tell what he was thinking. After a long time, Yuto Murayama spoke:

"Where there are ninjas, there are often dangers, especially where ninjas gather on a large scale.

The next action should be in groups of at least two. Don't go out alone anymore. Go back..."

Yuto Murayama said at the end, with a complicated expression on his face, signaling Wuxin to return.

The fate of a ninja is to be consumed in the mission. Yuto Murayama, who was born in the Hidden Mist Village, has experienced too much, but the sudden disappearance of the student he has been with for more than two years still makes him feel a little inexplicable.

"Yes..."

Wuxin's expression was also somewhat complicated. He nodded and turned back.

Wuxin quickly returned to the camp he was guarding and entered the tent sleeping bag. After tossing and turning for most of the night, Wuxin took the time to rest.

The next day

At dawn, Murayama Yuto brought two Genin to Wuxin's convoy. Together with the three people in Wuxin's team, a total of six ninjas searched for the missing Mai Kizuna again, but they still returned without success.

Murayama Yuto did not give up easily. He still organized a search and searched for many days until the caravan arrived outside the capital of the country of the river. The search operation was in vain.

Because the body was not found, Mai Kizuna was considered missing. Everyone knows what it means to be missing in a foreign country across the ocean, but it can only be like this.

The originally scattered three business travel departments and the Mist Hidden Ninja team met together outside the gate of the capital of the country of the river and poured into the capital of the country of the river.City.

Wuxin and other ninjas escorted the merchant to camp near the market in the capital of the Kingdom of Rivers, set up stalls for trading, and checked in at a nearby hotel.

The team stayed in the market for more than half a month. The sales of marine specialties, pearls, dried fish, ambergris, kelp, etc. brought by the merchant of the Kingdom of Water were good. While selling, the merchant also purchased some goods from the Kingdom of Rivers.

For more than half a month, the Mist Hidden Ninja Team scouted around the prosperous capital of the Kingdom of Rivers, as well as the borders of the Kingdom of Wind and Fire.

At night, after the merchant closed the stall, Wuxin and other ninjas and the merchant manager gathered in a room in the hotel room.

Murayama Yuto sat cross-legged on the main seat of the tatami, and more than a dozen ninjas including Wuxin, as well as several merchant managers sat cross-legged in three rows, with orderly levels and clear at a glance.

"Although the Konoha Ninja Team and the Sand Village Ninja Team can often be seen in the River Country, they have not fought each other as the Mizukage-sama judged. Or perhaps, all this is just an appearance... We need a deeper investigation."

The Murakami Yuto, who was sitting in the first seat, had a serious face. After slowly throwing out the topic, he fell silent.

Below, Wuxin and others sat upright, waiting for the next words from the action commander.

After a while, after thinking for a long time, Murayama Yuto seemed to have made a decision and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Mashiko Yoshima, please divide the business team into two groups, one to set off for the border city of Kikyo City in the Fire Country, and the other to set off for the border city of Liefeng City in the Wind Country."

"Yes!"

The business leader Mashiko Yoshima did not hesitate to Murayama Yuto's order and was very respectful.

"The ninja troops have also been temporarily adjusted. The merchant team heading west to the Wind Country's Gale City will be escorted by Kaguya Takema's team.

The team heading east to the Fire Country's Kikyo City will be escorted by Maruoka Tsunekazu's team.

Wuxin's team is missing...Wuxin, you will temporarily join Kaguya Takema's team as the deputy captain to assist Kaguya Takema.

Suiren and Yamagami Ayori will serve as my guards."

After making a decision, Murayama Yuto issued orders in an orderly manner.

"Yes!" X15

Wuxin and other ninjas and merchant leaders respectfully accepted the order.

After the mission was explained, Murayama Yuto reminded again:

"Our Water Country, the Kirigakure Village, is one of the five major ninja countries. Although we haven't set foot on the mainland for a long time, we should not underestimate it.

Normal, the Sand Village and Konoha ninjas will not rashly attack us, but we must not let our guard down! Otherwise, Mai Kizuna is a lesson for us!"

The Kirigakure ninjas went ashore and escorted merchants to conduct trade activities. They were generally not attacked and killed by ninjas from other major countries, otherwise it would escalate into a diplomatic incident.

However, if there was no body left like Mai Kizuna, and there was no evidence, that would be another matter.

Although Murayama Yuto looked serious, his words were sincere. He repeated words such as vigilance several times and waited for everyone to respond again.
