Naruto Arrows

The country of craftsmen.

A small country northwest of the Kingdom of Wind. (As for the location of the Country of Craftsmen, I found a lot of pictures. They are all in the bunch of small countries above the Country of Wind. If anyone has more details, please let me know.)

As its name suggests, the country is a country of craftsmen, and the most numerous people are craftsmen.

Hyuga Neji's only impression of this country came from an old antique who had a scary "skin" and a loud voice but not much strength, and the four ninjas from the Craftsman Ninja Village who resurrected the old antique.

The old antique's name is Qingming, and he is said to be the founder of the Craftsman Ninja Village. Naturally, those who have been trying to resurrect him are the four supporting actors who call themselves the Four Elephants.

However, now that Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, is still alive, it is estimated that the four guys are not very strong and their vision is not much bigger than that of a frog in a well (leaving aside the Nine-Tails in front of them, they only have the power of One-Tailed Shukaku) ), are you still researching honestly?

. . .

As soon as they entered the land of Takumi, Yamato and Tanaka, who were born in ANBU, immediately smelled a familiar smell, a smell of the same kind.

"It's Sunagakure's ANBU."

Yamato moved closer to Yamanaka Haiichi and Hikaru and spoke in a low voice.

"This is Sunagakure's territory. It would be strange if they weren't there."

Aguang, who often comes to the country of Takumi, motioned Yamato not to be too nervous with a noncommittal expression.

After all, they came to the Land of Craftsmen this time to escort Neji to customize bows and arrows, and they did not come with the Hokage's orders to cause friction with Sunagakure. If they were too nervous and vigilant, they would attract Sunagakure's attention. .

But Neji knew in his heart that no matter how harmless they acted, even Sunagakure would not dare to relax against them.

After all, before they came, the Roots, Anbu, and unknown monsters and monsters had all entered the country of Takumi. This power, even if the old antique named Qingming was really resurrected, would probably be enough to completely overthrow Takumi. country.

The Country of Craftsmen has long been on the ground, and it does not matter whether it is subversive or not, but the Country of Wind, which regards the Country of Craftsmen as its back garden, obviously cannot allow this to happen, even if there is only a slight possibility.

. . .

"Damn it, what do these Konoha ninjas want to do?!"

Maki, the future backbone of Sunagakure, is now the head of the Sunagakure ANBU. After hearing the news from his subordinates that another Konoha team had arrived in Takumi Country, even as calm as he was, he couldn't help but become furious.

However, no matter how angry he was in his heart, he knew very well that now was not a good time to stand up with Konoha again.

Just a few years after the Third Ninja World War, Sunagakure Village, which suffered the heaviest losses on the battlefield and had the weakest foundation, was now entirely supported by Kazekage Rasa's "sand sea gold rush". ?

In addition, after the death of the previous Jinchuuriki, Gaara, the successor Jinchuuriki, Gaara, was restless. Shukaku, who was already irritable, would hold demolition and fitness activities to support the real estate industry from time to time. Sunagakure was also in a state of panic. Naturally, He didn't want or dare to go to war with Konoha.

"Maki-sama, we have found out the identity of the Konoha ninja who entered the Land of Takumi this time."

The face of Sunagakure Anbu standing in front of Maki was difficult to see under the mask, but from his body and voice that did not tremble at all, it could be seen that he was not afraid of Maki's anger.

In addition to the fact that Ma Ji just came to power, perhaps more importantly, it is because Ma Ji has been coming here once a day these days and has seen a lot, so he is used to it.

"The leader of this team is Yamanaka Kaiichi, the leader of the Yamanaka clan of Konoha Ino Shikacho. The one wearing a Tang suit is Toshimitsu, who is in charge of purchasing Konoha ninja tools. The youngest one is believed to be the deceased Hyuga clan. Hyuga Neji, the son of Hyuga Hizashi, the head of the branch family, as for the remaining two teenagers and young ninjas wearing ninja vests, as well as the elderly genin carrying a big pot on his back, the information is limited, and his identity is not yet known."

After Ma Ji finished venting his anger and sat down, he once again spoke unhurriedly to report the information the ANBU had investigated.

"Among them, Hyuga Neji is not wearing a Konoha forehead protector. He must have not graduated yet and has not yet become a genin."

"Um?!"

Ma Ji, who originally sat down just because he was exhausted physically and mentally, and still had anger in his heart, couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, with a puzzled look on his face.

During the war, it was not unheard of for the Five Hidden Villages to send seven or eight-year-old children to the battlefield, but it was impossible for non-ninjas without forehead protectors to be sent on missions. This was against the rules.

"Based on their itinerary and their unabashed actions of entering the Country of Craftsmen, they should be coming to the Country of Craftsmen to purchase ninja tools."

After understanding the meaning of Maki's doubts, the Sunagakure ANBU expressed his judgment.

"Don't be careless and continue to closely monitor their every move."

Ma Ji's complexion returned to normal and he ordered.

Of course, this is also impossible.

Previously, due to the setback in Sunagakure's strength, they could only shrink their power. It was not until the ANBU elites led by Kakashi tracked the root ninjas into the country of Takumi that they realized something was wrong. After a joint decision, ANBU was urgently transferred to the country of Takumi to deal with the changes in Konoha.

Although it can be noticed that the country of craftsmen has been "unclean" for a long time, and a large number of people who should not have entered have entered, it is already somewhat difficult to find these people.

In other words, Ningji and his party, who entered the Land of Craftsmen with such swagger, turned out to be the only targets they could monitor at the moment.

The huge Sunagakure Village, one of the five great Hidden Villages, has fallen to this level. It's no wonder that an aspiring Sunagakure ninja like Maki gets angry every day.

. . .

"It looks like we're being watched closely."

After finding a place to stay in Takunin Village, and just walking around outside, Yamato saw no fewer than ten informants of Sunagakure, and as for the suspicious ones, there were undoubtedly more.

"Has something happened in the Land of Craftsmen recently?"

Toshimitsu, who had previously felt that Yamato was overreacting, now also sensed something was wrong.

In the past, when he brought his team to discuss purchasing ninja tools with the Craftsman Country, although Sunagakure Village would indeed react, it would obviously not be as exaggerated as it is now.

Neji and Yamato undoubtedly knew his question best, but obviously, it was impossible for them to tell him about it.

"Captain Yamato, now that Sunagakure is so closely monitored, do we still need to continue to contact Captain Kakashi?"

After returning to their respective rooms, Tanaka couldn't help but asked Yamato in a low voice with worry on his face.

Although he didn't know as clearly as Yamato, according to Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, he was still able to know that Kakashi had arrived in the Craftsman Country a few days ago.

"Don't worry, Kakashi-senpai will come to us."

Yamato, on the other hand, has full confidence in Kakashi.
