Konoha: The inherently evil Uchiha

hum-

The corpse-eating beetle flapped its wings and swam freely in the area filled with corpses.

At first, it was also confused by this. It turned out that there really was such a place in the world that was full of its food.

This place is heaven for it!

Although there are a lot of corpses, it still maintains its picky nature and searches for the strongest ones among them during their lifetime through the pheromones hidden in the smell.

Time passes little by little.

The cadaver beetle never gets tired of this. Every time it finds a corpse that satisfies it, there will be another better one that attracts it, forcing it to continue searching.

"Won't it be exhausted to death if it keeps searching like this?" Tamao asked curiously.

As soon as these words came out.

Quan and Nanfeng thought that Tamao asked a good question.

Yinyue's expression remained unchanged as she replied:

"Follow me."

He had no idea how long the insect could live, but this area was indeed too large for it.

Although they were very careful, they still stepped on bones.

Quan was filled with shame and kept muttering, "Sorry, sorry, sorry, everyone."

Fortunately, there were four people in the group. If Quan came alone during the day, it would be fine, but if she came at night, she would really not be able to handle it.

"Sorry, sorry." Tamao also followed suit and said to the people around him.

"..."

Nanfeng did not comment on this, but followed the captain silently to cover the others.

"Has Quan really learned the Impure World Reincarnation?" Yinyue asked.

He had heard Tamao mention this matter in private.

"Well, captain, after studying in the Ninja Village some time ago, I have mastered the Impure World Reincarnation modified by Lord Orochimaru, but... I have never used it." Izumi replied seriously.

It's no secret.

When she talked about her recent promotion, her nervousness was relieved.

"Unfortunately, I have not read much and cannot understand the profound knowledge. I really like this technique!"

Tamayo sighed.

"Don't force yourself. If you can't learn it, just learn other techniques." Yinyue said, looking at Quan: "It's okay, you can use it this time, and the sacrifice won't put any psychological burden on you."

Hearing the captain say this, Quan had no worries. After all, the most difficult thing to cross in this technique is one's personal moral bottom line.

As everyone was talking, they passed by many dark ghost lights and arrived at the heart of the mass grave.

The air here is basically unsmellable.

"Okay, go in here and try to release chakra continuously to isolate the virus in the air."

Yinyue said, taking out four gas masks from the storage space and handing three of them to the three people: "Put this on!"

The three took the masks.

Everyone looked surprised; they didn't expect their captain to be so fully prepared.

This is the mask that Yinyue bought in the Yuyin Village when he went to look for Hydrangea.

It rains all year round in the Hidden Rain Village, resulting in many swamps nearby, which are filled with poisonous gas.

If you want to get involved, you can only prepare a gas mask, and Yinyue bought a mask that can be used for both diving and gas protection.

Similar to the masks worn by the Rain Ninja minions in the original work, this kind of thing can be seen everywhere in the streets of the Hidden Rain Village, so Yinyue bought some.

After putting on the masks, the four of them were able to breathe safely, even though the air still smelled bad.

Yinyue frowned.

Only after experiencing it himself could he understand what the dream-fulfilling master Kabuto went through when he traveled across the ninja world searching for corpses.

In the air, the corpse-eating worms entered the hinterland area, and like humans intoxicated by oxygen, their flying speed was obviously much slower, but they still enjoyed it.

The time came to dawn.

The sky was turning pale.

When the first ray of light pierced the earth like a sharp blade, heaven and earth seemed to be cut apart.

Light replaced darkness.

hum-

After dawn, the corpse-eating beetle seemed particularly excited. It circled in the air several times, dived down, and landed on the surface of a pile of bones.

It waved its forelimbs, digging into the soil and bones, eager to dig out the corpse it wanted below.

This behavior is very impatient.

Obviously found the target.

Tamao and Nanfeng looked at each other, and they took the initiative to step forward and peel off some remaining armor and rags of clothes.

Piece of bone after piece was dug out neatly.

hum-

The cadaver beetle vibrated its wings and landed on a skull. Then, the frequency of its wings decreased until its elytra no longer moved.

"Is this it?"

Tamao said as he lifted the skull from the dirt and examined it carefully.

This sight frightened Tamao, and he said in surprise: "Ah... Brother, it seems to be dead!"

Yinyue had a strange look on his face and went forward to check. Sure enough, the corpse-eating worm's eyes did not move and its limbs contracted, obviously indicating that the worm was dead.

Tamao easily lifted it off the skull, and it didn't resist at all. From all appearances, it was completely dead.

"This... You just found a satisfying meal, how could you die?"

Tamao shook his head, feeling sorry for the short life of this insect brother.

"..." Yin Yue said casually: "Take away all the bodies in this pile of bones."

For this corpse-eating worm, perhaps, seeing the corpse of a demigod is like hearing the truth in the morning, and being able to die in the evening.

Of course, he is not an insect, so he does not know the joy of insects.

"Yes--"

Nanfeng took out the scroll and, according to Yinyue's request, sealed all the bone piles centered on the bone pile and some nearby ones.

As the bones gradually became fewer, Yinyue saw a rusty mask in the mud.

It is similar to a diving mask, but has anti-gas measures on the surface and the Hidden Rain Village's forehead protection logo is engraved on the top, making it highly recognizable.

Yinyue picked it up from the ground and took another look at the exhausted corpse-eating worm in Tamohiro's hand:

"That's right. Among these bones are the remains of the Salamander Hanzo. This is the gas mask that the demigod always carries with him."

Quan, Tamao, and Nanfeng looked at the mask in Yinyue's hand and felt it looked familiar.

Of course, they have all seen the appearance of Hanzo the Salamander, it is not a secret.

The mask in the captain's hand at this moment, even though it is rusty, is easy to tell that it is indeed the same mask that Hanzo of the Salamander wore in his memory.

Quan looked at the skull in Tamao's hand, then looked at the mask that fit the skull in Yinyue's hand.

She frowned and asked, "Was that person really dumped here at random after his death?"

This is incredible.

This is Hanzo the Salamander!

The Queen of Ninja Gods, the strongest ninja who is the only one with the title of God, and the top ninja in the ninja world who once bestowed the title of the Three Ninjas of Konoha.

Quan found it hard to accept that his fate after getting old was so miserable.

"Is it possible that he was killed by his enemy, and that preserving his body and dumping it here was considered as mercy on his part?"

Tamao raised his hand and stroked his chin, pretending to think seriously, and said.

“It’s still hard to believe.”

Quan still found it incredible.

"Tamayo's analysis makes sense." Nanfeng sighed, "As a ninja, every time you carry out a mission, you are creating enemies for yourself. Even if it is just a simple mission, you may attract many enemies in the dark, not to mention a ninja of Hanzo's level, who will have many enemies."

The three of them looked at Yinyue.

Yinyue said calmly: "Well, I agree with this point of view."

Because that's the truth, this demigod died at the hands of his enemies and became a stepping stone for a new god.

"Captain, I request that this unfortunate guy be given a proper burial!" Tamao said regretfully while holding the dead corpse-eating beetle.

"I'll leave this matter to you." Yinyue reached out and patted Tamao's shoulder.

"Ok!"

Tamao nodded heavily, then buried the corpse-eating worm in the soil of the previous pile of bones.

He buried the insect carefully and piled up the soil into a grave as big as a fist.

"Eat something delicious in your next life. It's a pity that you died before you could taste the most delicious food." Tamao said, shaking his head and stood up.

Quan and Nanfeng have long been accustomed to Tamao's unexpected actions and are not surprised by this.

"Let's go to the next place!"

Yinyue looked at the rising sun in the sky, thought for a moment, and said, "River area."

Quan was puzzled and asked, "Captain, haven't we found Hanzo's body?"

Tamao took out a separate scroll and contained the skull that was suspected to be Hanzo's.

"Since we're here, this place isn't too far from the river area." Yinyue thought for a moment and continued, "After all, that's the option you arranged, so it must have its unique features."

"..." Quan was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

At first, she put the mass grave at the end and thought that it was impossible for Salamander Hanzo to be buried there.

Who could have imagined that such a noble demigod would actually be piled together with the corpses of the unknown people in the ninja world.

Although it cannot be confirmed for the time being, with the approval of the corpse-eating beetles, this matter is almost certain.

"Okay." Quan cheered up and said with a smile, "I'll follow the captain's instructions!"

"But." Yinyue glanced at the three people who were a little tired after staying up all night, and said, "Let's find a hotel to change clothes and soak in a hot spring to get rid of the rotten smell."

Hearing this, the three of them immediately perked up.

It took some time to leave the mass grave and enter the Hidden Rain Village, and only then did Yinyue and the others' sense of smell return to normal.

As they walked, the rotten smell scared away many passers-by, and the four of them looked as if they had just crawled out of a pile of corpses.

A hot spring hotel.

"I'm staying at the hotel and need hot spring service." Nanfeng came to the front desk to check in.

wow——

His appearance scared away the female waitresses who were receiving guests at the front desk, mainly because his smell was too strong.

Nanfeng didn't mind. He took out a stack of Yuyin Village currency from his arms and placed it on the counter.

Seeing how arrogant the guests were, the waiter didn't show any disgust at all and immediately invited Yinyue and the other three to check in.

Tamao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter where you are, it's good to have money!

Two hours later.

The four of them soaked in the hot spring to remove the odor from their bodies, and then got together to have a seafood dinner before setting off.

During this time, Yinyue drank the green medicine to enhance her physique and strength, and her spirit returned to a full state.

The four left the Hidden Rain Village again.

The river area on the map is located in the eastern part of the Rain Country, and there is a swamp nearby that does not belong to the Hidden Rain Village.

It is also a restricted area for ordinary creatures.

Out of the Hidden Rain Village.

Yinyue clapped his hands, "Spiritual Communication Technique!"

bang——

Smoke and dust exploded.

A giant snake appeared. It was red all over and its body was as huge as a mountain.

"My dear master, you finally remembered your faithful servant!"

Xinya spoke in a muffled voice, respectfully lowered the king snake's head, and crawled in front of Yinyue.

Its appearance scared the pedestrians entering and leaving the Hidden Rain Village.

But soon, passers-by discovered that the giant snake was carrying several humans and was heading east at an incredible speed, disappearing out of sight.

...

Xinya snake head.

Quan had changed into an Uchiha clan skirt, standing gracefully, following behind Yinyue.

She asked curiously, "Captain, where did you get these three intelligence maps?"

Drinking Moon explains:

"The old subordinates of Salamander Hanzo."

"That's it."

Quan suddenly realized.

No wonder they were able to find the demigod’s corpse; the captain was extremely well prepared for this.

With Xinya as a means of transportation.

The group soon arrived at the river area marked on the map.

This place is no different from any other river area. The river flows smoothly, and the trees on both sides are lush and green. There is nothing wrong at all.

"Brother, are we using that kind of bug this time?" Tama Xiong asked.

Yinyue shook her head and said:

"No, just that one, and we have found his body."

Quan looked around and shook his head.

"This doesn't look like a burial place. If the real body of Salamander Hanzo was really buried here, it would have sunk to the bottom of the river long ago."

Yinyue nodded and said to Xinya, whose body was sinking into the river, "Walk around here and see if there is anything unusual."

"Yes, master!" Xinya crawled forward along the river excitedly.

Its body was completely wrapped by the river, which caused the flow of the river to be completely cut off and overflow to both banks.

I walked back and forth and also wandered around the nearby forest.

No one, including Yinyue, found anything unusual here.

"It looks like everything is normal here!"

Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment.

Xinya suddenly said:

"Master, this river is normal, but I smelled a familiar scent in the swamp ten kilometers away."

Quan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Was it really such a coincidence?

If you say unexpected, there will be an unexpected thing.

Yinyue's spirits perked up, and he said, "Let's go over there and take a look."

"Okay." Xinya nodded slightly and then moved forward at full speed.

As they got closer to the swamp, Xinya narrowed his single eye and said solemnly:

"Master, I know what is hidden in this swamp."

"Oh?"

"You've probably heard of Hanzo, the Salamander?"

"Well, our trip is to find his legacy."

"Then you have come to the right place."

Xinya hovered in front of the swamp, staring at the purple gas that was gradually getting more and more confused in the distance, and retreated slowly.

It said in a deep voice:

"Under this swamp lurks the summoning beast that Hanzo used to trust the most, the Salamander Ibushi!"

Hearing this, Yinyue became interested, because that was the origin of the prefix of the name of the Salamander Hanzo.

It was precisely because of this huge salamander with a highly poisonous body that Hanzo was able to lead a small ninja village like the Hidden Rain Village to gain a foothold in the ninja world, and eventually reach the top, becoming one of the protagonists of that era.

Now, although Hanzo is dead, the summoned beasts are still wandering in the ninja world.

I didn't expect it to be hidden here.

“No wonder people think this is the burial place of Hanzo.” Quan said, “Maybe after he died, this spirit beast appeared nearby.”

Yinyue nodded and asked Xinya:

"You recognize it?"

Xinya replied:

"Well, there were only a few summoned beasts that could dominate the ninja world back then. In front of the Salamander·Ibushi, Bunta, Manabu, and Living Slug all had to bow down to him."

Yinyue asked curiously:

"Can you beat it?"

Xinya shook his head and said:

"It's hard to say. It's very good at using poison. I've never fought it, but for you, my master, I can take action against it!"

Anyway, whether we can win or not, Yinyue will back us up.

When it comes to fighting, Xinya is afraid of nothing.
