The light of leaves

Chapter 82 Our Hidden Grass Village is Suffering...

At night, the insects are silent and the birds are quiet.

Wuwei fell asleep on the floor, but couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

"Fake, fake, all fake! Why look up at the starry sky? It's simply unrealistic imagination!"

"Perhaps an individual's destiny can be changed, but the future of the Country of Grass has long been doomed! No matter how hard we try, we can only struggle to survive in the cracks of the big country!"

"But...is it really useless? If you can become a strong man like the Hanzo of the Rain Country, maybe you can protect the village!"

"Impossible, my talent may be considered the strongest in Kusakakakushi, but Konoha's three ninjas are not weaker than me, and it is impossible for me to become that kind of strong man with such ordinary talent!"

"What should I do?" Wuwei looked at the boundless starry sky with confused eyes and said to himself, "Father, if it were you..."

On the other side, Soseki was resting with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't be nervous, I'm Kaiichi Yamanaka, and I'm communicating with you using the secret art of the Yamanaka clan."

"To make a long story short, that Wuwei seems to be hiding some of his strength. Considering this, he is probably Yanyin's undercover agent!"

Silence, one second, two seconds...

Haiichi Yamanaka couldn't help asking, "Why don't you talk? By the way, you can talk as long as you say it silently in your heart."

Asma couldn't hold back for a long time. After knowing the method, she hurriedly said, "Haha! I already knew he was an undercover agent!"

Yamanaka Hai was taken aback for a moment, "I knew it a long time ago?"

He also judged it based on his rich experience. When did Asma have such vision?
Asma laughed and said, "It's not just me, Soseki and Hong also know it!"

Yamanaka Kaiichi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "So, apart from him not knowing that he was exposed, all of us know and are still cooperating with him in acting?"

At this moment, he inexplicably felt that the young man named Wuwei was a bit pitiful.

Asma said with a smile, "Who told him to fool us for fools! However, Soseki was the worst, fooling him for a while!"

Soseki sighed softly, "As long as it is a lie, it will be exposed one day, so I didn't actually lie to him!"

However, the truth can sometimes be more deceptive than a lie!
Hong worried, "Soseki, then you..."

Soseki said, "Don't worry about it. I cherish the present even more because I wandered in confusion. I also hope that Senior Wuwei can come out of the past."

Asma muttered, "You are too kind, you are like this to undercover agents!"

Soseki laughed, "It's unclear what the situation in the Country of Grass is now, and of course there is no need to refuse the power that can be drawn."

Asma said in surprise, "Wait, the undercover agents have come out, isn't the Kingdom of Grass corrupted?"

Yamanaka Kaiichi said, "First of all, it is not ruled out that Yan Yin deliberately created the illusion that Kusanagi was controlled by them. Secondly, it is also possible that part of Kusanagi's forces fell to Yan Yin. If we make a judgment rashly, it is very likely that Push the power that was originally inclined towards Konoha towards the enemy."

"So, our main task is still to inquire about intelligence!"

"I understand."

Saying that, Yamanaka Kaiichi added, "Also, Soseki, you can try to get news from that boy named Wuwei, but you must be cautious!"

Soseki replied, "I know what to do."

……

Two days later, the group finally arrived at Caoyin Village.

Unlike what Soseki and others thought at the beginning, Caoyin Village is not desolate, and even has a sense of prosperity.

This change surprised several people.

"Obviously there are so many bandits and robbers in the Country of Grass, why does Caoyin Village look quite harmonious?" Asma asked, scratching her head.

"Because those big people don't care about the life and death of ordinary people at all!" Wuwei mocked, "The only thing they will do is to use the interests of the country of grass to please other countries around them, and use so-called diplomatic means to maintain their own. rule!"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head again, "I'm sorry, I was a little angry at the moment. By the way, since you have already arrived in Caoyin, let's separate here."

They didn't ask them to stay, they just asked, "Senior Wuwei, where is your home? Before we leave, I would like to treat you to a meal."

"You saved me, so I should be the one to invite you." Wuwei said with a smile, "As for the place to stay, I don't actually have a place to live yet. After all, Ghost Lantern City is on a small island nearby."

"If you want to find me, you can go to the inn on the north side of the village, and I should rest there."

"Then let's go to hand over the task first, see you, Senior Wuwei."

After the caravan left, Wuwei put away the smile on his face, "I don't even know about Ghost Lantern City, it seems that they didn't come here for that matter."

……

Under the leadership of Kitahara Shigeharu, Soseki and the others came to an extremely luxurious mansion.

"Junin Yamanaka, it is the Minister of Finance of the Country of Grass who ordered this batch of supplies from Konoha. It makes you laugh. In order to avoid the coveting of those bandits, we have to pretend to be a caravan."

Haiichi Yamanaka was not surprised, this was something he had already explained before accepting the task.

Walking into the mansion, a middle-aged man with godly eyes was already waiting.

"My friends from Konoha, I have really worked hard for you." The middle-aged man invited them into the living room with great enthusiasm, "This is Nobuobu Ueno, Minister of Finance of the Country of Grass, who is also the initiator of this commission."

As soon as he came up, he began to pour bitter water.

"Our Country of Grass is suffering, we are really suffering..."

After explaining in turn how "difficult" the citizens, ninjas, and officials of the Country of Grass are, he changed the subject and mentioned the deep friendship between Konoha and the Country of Grass.

Finally, weeping to sublimate the theme, "For the peace of the ninja world and the friendship between the two countries, I hereby implore Konoha to help us with another batch of supplies!"

Asma looked at him with "admiration". The ammunition was originally an extremely important strategic resource reserve.

It would be great if I could sell it to you guys, but this time you plan to go whoring for nothing?
Yamanaka Kai tapped the table lightly with one finger, "I will truthfully tell Master Hokage about your demands. However, I have a proposal."

Ueno Shin smiled brightly, "Please tell me."

Yamanaka Hai smiled and said, "Why don't you just entrust our Konoha ninjas to wipe out the bandits? In this way, not only will you not have to worry about supplies being robbed, but you can also ensure the safety of your own ninjas."

Nobuo Ueno's smile faltered, and the next moment he sighed, "No, this is the internal affairs of our country of grass after all. If you ask Konoha's ninja to take action, you may be misunderstood by the people of the country! It doesn't matter if we are scolded, but how can we How about giving your allies a bad name?"

Yamanaka Kaiichi didn't force it, "Is that so? It seems that I didn't think about it."

Ueno Shinobu smiled brilliantly, "Haha, Yamanaka Jonobu is also thinking of us!"

Yamanaka Hai took a look outside the door, "It doesn't seem to be too early, we'd better leave early and go back to Konoha..."

At this time, Asma shouted according to the previously discussed procedure, "Mr. Yamanaka, let's go back to Konoha tomorrow. It's a rare time to come out. It's a pity to go back like this!"

"This……"

Seeing Haiichi Yamanaka was a little bit embarrassed, Nobuo Ueno also persuaded, "This little ninja is very reasonable, it's rare to come out once, and feel the style of our country of grass!"

As he said that, he had already arranged it, "Although my place is a bit 'rudimentary', it's okay to have a few more guests. Yamanaka Jonin, you guys just stay with me for one night!"
