Konoha's Wooden Reappearance

After several days of hard work, the Minama team finally arrived at the dock at the border of Yuno Country by boat in the evening.

After landing, they met the ninjas of Yunin Village who had already come to greet them.

"Everyone in Konoha, thank you for your hard work. My name is Akimoto Yiming, and I am here to welcome you on behalf of Chief Akimoto."

The leader, Yu Ninja, is a young ninja in his 20s. He has a Chinese character face, clear facial features, and a very heroic demeanor.

Afterwards, through some pleasantries, we learned that the young man in front of us was actually the son of the leader of Tang Ninja Village.

After getting to know each other, Team Minama began to follow them to Yunin Village.

Yunin Village is a village whose combat effectiveness has been reduced as the war disappeared. It is also a village rich in natural resources. It is known as the "village that forgot the war". The village is famous for its many hot springs. The villagers advocate peace, which is why Jiraiya in the original work One of my favorite countries to visit.

The Kingdom of Tang is said to be a country, but it is actually a slightly larger island. Its location is right in the center of the triangle formed by the Kingdom of Thunder, the Kingdom of Water, and the Kingdom of Fire.

Situated in the gap between the forces of three major powers, a little carelessness can lead to disaster, so Tang Country has always maintained a neutral position with the outside world.

It didn't take long for the Mizuma team to follow Akimoto Yiming and other Tang Ninjas to the Yu Ninja Village.

After taking Mizama and the other four to the hotel where they would stay tonight and settling in, and accompanying Mizama and the others to have a sumptuous dinner, Akimoto planned to leave here.

"Your Excellency Mizama, it's getting late. You have been tired from the journey. Please have a good rest tonight. Master Tang Ying will officially receive you tomorrow."

Shuijian sent Qiu Yuan Yiming to the yard, and he smiled and informed Shuijian of something.

"Ah, I am really troublesome to Your Excellency Yiming today. Thank you very much to Your Excellency Tang Ying for your appropriate arrangements."

Mizuma really felt that Yu Ninja Village's arrangement for tonight was very good, and it was impeccable in every aspect.

"This hot spring hotel is very famous throughout the country of Yu. You can all try it."

Qiu Yuan Yiming seemed to have remembered something, and still said with a smile.

"We will, thank you very much, Your Excellency."

Afterwards, Qiu Yuan Yiming said goodbye and left, probably to report to his father.

Before he left, he did not forget to ask the hotel owner to take good care of Mizama and others.

"There is a reason why Yunin Village can maintain such peace even though it is sandwiched between big countries."

Looking at Qiu Yuan Yiming's back, and wanting to see what he saw along the way, Mizama couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Let's make plans after seeing Tang Ying tomorrow. Now I want to go to the hot springs and take a bath. You can go."

After returning to the hotel, Itachi and the others were waiting for Minzuma in his room, wanting to discuss their actions tomorrow.

"That's fine, just in time to relax. I've wanted to try the hot springs in this hotel for a long time, but unfortunately I never had the chance."

Mizuma's proposal was immediately approved by Anko, and she said she wished she could go immediately.

"Mizama, it's really okay for us to relax like this."

Itachi said with some worry. After all, he was in someone else's village, so he still had to be cautious.

"Itachi, don't worry, nothing will happen. You have also seen that Akimoto Yiming, as the next successor of Yukage, is only the strength of an ordinary jounin. Even if there is a trap, I will take you out safely."

Seeing that Kabuto and Itachi were a little too cautious, Minama smiled and said to them, dispelling their worries.

"Hongdou, we won't wait for you, you can go alone."

After saying that, Mizama stood up first and prepared to take a bath in the hot spring.Itachi and Kabuto hesitated for a moment, then followed Minama's pace.

"It's so comfortable. Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we had such a comfortable leisure time."

Itachi asked Mizama beside him while taking a bath.

"It's been at least half a year. I was too focused on guarding against Danzo. I was too nervous."

This hot spring can only be used by senior guests of this hotel. Now there are only three people in the water, so there is no need to worry about others hearing the conversation.

"Yes, then let's take this opportunity to relax first. Maybe there will be a big war later."

Kabuto also said with a look of approval.

At night, Mizama used his clones to set up appropriate warnings, and the four of them had a rare and peaceful sleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, under the leadership of Akimoto Yiming, Mizama and others met the client of this mission.

The name of the country of Tang, the leader of Tangren Village, and the leader of the Akimoto clan, Qiu Yuanfeng.

"Sir Yukage, I am the captain of the Konoha ninja team responsible for this mission, Uzumaki Minama. Please allow me to introduce you to my teammates. They are Uchiha Itachi, Yakushi Kabuto, and Mitarashi Anko."

A dignified middle-aged man in his 40s was kneeling on the couch, with Mizunama and others sitting cross-legged on the table below.

"Mizama-dono and everyone in Konoha, thank you for your hard work. We have compiled some latest information about this mission, please take a look first."

After saying that, a Yu nin sent information to the four people in Mizama.

"It was the traitorous ninja from Yunin Village named Hidan who stole the Bloody March Scythe and the Evil God Spear."

After reading the information, Shuijian began to learn some information from Tang Ying.

"Hey, after the Konoha ninjas helped us recapture these two evil cult sacred objects, we stored them in two places separately and kept them safe.

But two years ago, someone learned about their storage location, and we strengthened the defense accordingly. However, they were still stolen three months ago, and the person who stole them was the traitorous Ninja Hidan. "

Tang Ying sighed and told the story of the incident.

"This Hidan is just an ordinary chuunin. How could he snatch these two things in such a well-defended place in Yunin Village?"

This is where Minazama is a little confused. If the ninjas in Yunin Village were only this strong, they would have had their village wiped out long ago.

"Hey, if he were alone, it would be impossible, but he actually cooperated with the members of the Evil God Cult inside and outside, using the lives of countless civilians as human shields. For the lives of those civilians being held hostage, it is worth letting them take those two things safely. Leave.”

After hearing this, Mizama became a little convinced. Bad guys usually have this kind of routine.

After thinking about it for a moment, he stopped worrying about this matter and asked about another matter.

"Have they found their footing now?"

"After we rescued those civilians, we organized a crusade to encircle and suppress them. Unfortunately, they disappeared without a trace. Only recently were some traces found at the foot of a mountain south of Yuno Country.

"I understand. Regarding this mission, the Third Hokage has given instructions. We will definitely do our best to complete this mission."

"Then I'll leave it to you. I will also send my son, Qiu Yuan Yiming, to lead people to assist you."

"Then thank you, Mr. Tang Ying, for your support."

After understanding the basic situation, the Minama team followed Yu Nin to the mountain range.

It was already afternoon when we arrived. Yu Nin had a camp here, which should be used to monitor the evil cultists coming out of the mountains.

"Your Excellency Shuijian, the mountains here are high and the forests are dense, and the environment is very complicated. We have sent some ninjas into the mountains before to look for traces of the evil cultists, but they never returned."

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the towering mountains in front of him, Qiu Yuan Yiming said helplessly.

"It seems we need to send people into the mountain to investigate first."

After Mizama finished speaking, he began to form seals, creating hundreds of shadow clones in an instant.

"You start from here, search this mountain, don't miss any place. Don't act rashly after discovering the other party's traces, just keep them under surveillance."

Soon, the shadow clones started from the foot of the mountain, spread out in search formation, and walked toward the mountain little by little.

"Okay, Your Excellency Yiming, now let the shadow clone explore the way. We will enter the mountain after we understand the situation inside."

"That's all it takes."

"Your Excellency Yiming, I have a question to ask. I don't know if it's convenient."

"Itachi-kun, please ask."

"Why are you so sure that the other person must be in this mountain?"

"It's very simple. We have stationed people at all the export terminals of Yuno Country to keep an eye on them, and we also organized people to search the entire Yuno Country. Only here are there traces of them."

"So that's the case, but I think too much."

After making arrangements, Mizama and his party rested in Yunin's camp at the foot of the mountain.

In the evening, a shadow clone sent news that they had discovered traces of the Evil God Cult in the mountains.

"They are actually at the top of the highest mountain."

After hearing the news brought back by the clone, Qiu Yuan Yiming asked with some disbelief. After all, there is only one highest mountain around here.

"Your Excellency Yiming, what happened to the top of the mountain?"

Akimoto Yiming's strange reaction naturally aroused the curiosity of Mizama and others.

"According to our investigation, the Evil God Cult has a secret stronghold hiding some Dongfengxi, but we never know where it is. It seems to be at the top of this mountain."

"That's right. My clone told me that the road up the mountain has been blocked by the Evil God Cult. I'm afraid we can't get up the mountain using ordinary methods."

"then what should we do"

"Don't worry, I can solve this problem. It's getting late now. Why don't we take a rest tonight and start heading into the mountains early tomorrow morning."

"That's fine, but the situation in the mountains is very complicated and it may not be suitable for too many people to enter."

"I have also considered this. Why don't my team and the five of you, Mr. Yiming, go into the mountain tomorrow? The rest of the people will stay at the bottom of the mountain to respond. Do you think this arrangement is good?"

"Captain Mizuma, if there are only five people, isn't it too few? After all, there are at least hundreds of evil god followers on this mountain."

"Your Excellency Yiming, you can rest assured that as long as we can find them, Captain Shuijian alone can deal with them."

Hearing Akimoto Yiming's doubts, Kabuto shouldered his responsibilities as a younger brother very well.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem. Lord Mizama's reputation is well known to me in Yunin Village."

"Okay, since you all agree, that's what we've decided."

After discussing countermeasures and arranging the evening watch, they went to rest.

On the top of the mountain that the clone explored, a large group of cultists were sitting on a flat roof covered with spells. There were countless small blood tanks beside them.

The Bloody March Scythe and the Evil God's Spear are placed in the grooves where the blood grooves and spells extend to the end.

"It is our supreme honor to sacrifice for Lord Evil God, Lord Evil God will protect you."

Hidan, who calls himself the messenger of the evil god, stood on a high platform and spoke loudly to the enthusiastic crowd below.

"Ah, long live Lord Evil God, long live Lord Hidan."

Hidan's words drew bursts of cheers from the crowd below.

"These people are really ignorant. Of course I will be the only one protected by the Evil God in the end."

Looking at the crowd below, Hidan said disdainfully.

Then I saw those believers cutting their wrists in unison and letting the blood flow to the ground.

As soon as the blood touched the runes on the ground, it seemed to be alive. It quickly flowed into the blood groove and converged towards the groove where the Bloody March Scythe and the Evil God's Spear were placed. Finally, the blood was absorbed by the Bloody March Scythe and the Evil God's Spear. The evil god's spear is absorbed bit by bit.

After the Bloody March Scythe and the Evil God's Spear absorbed the blood, it was like the cat seeing a fish. The spells began to light up. The Evil God Cult members found that they were actually nailed there and could not move, only the water that kept flowing out. Blood proves they are still alive.

At this time, even if any of them realized something was wrong and wanted to resist, it would be too late.

After a period of time, all of these evil god followers were drained of their blood without exception.

After the Bloody March Scythe and the Evil God's Spear absorbed the blood of all the Evil God's followers, Hidan walked over, picked up the Bloody March Scythe and cut his own palm. Strangely, his blood was not absorbed. Instead of leaving, they gathered on the ground and climbed up the strange runes.

He used his feet to draw another strange rune on the ground with his own blood, then picked up the spear and stabbed it through his heart.

"For Lord Evil God."

After saying that, Hidan's whole body was shrouded in strange runes at the same moment, and he fell down, no longer alive.

After a long time, there was movement in the pile of corpses on the ground. It turned out that Hidan, who was supposed to be dead, came to life again, and the runes on his body had receded.

"Next, let's sacrifice those pagans to the evil god. Haha"

Hundreds of corpses were piled up on the top of the mountain, and the sinister wind was blowing, just like the Shura field. Only Hidan was laughing wildly.
