Naruto's Endless Pretense

It has been more than a week since Kakashi and Sasuke left Konoha.In the original work, Jiraiya took Naruto with him to find Tsunade for a week and arrived at Danshu Street while gathering information. However, Kakashi and Sasuke are still some distance away from Danshu Street now.

You can't blame these two people for being lazy, it's mainly because they encountered some problems on the road.

Tanshu Street is a famous gambling place in the Country of Fire. It is located in the north of Konoha Village near the border of Tian Country, and is quite close to the Valley of the End where Hashirama Hatsusenju and Madara Uchiha fought.

Of course, this place is also quite close to the Sound Ninja Village, the home of the immortal madman Orochimaru.

In short, this border area has pleasant scenery, a 5A-level tourist attraction and an integrated area with Las Vegas, attracting a large number of tourists from surrounding countries, and the service industry is prosperous.However, because it is far away from the violent organization of the Fire Country, Konoha Village, public security management is insufficient, and there are many criminal dens hidden under the surface prosperity.

Of course, this does not mean that there are path-cutting thieves everywhere around Tuanchu Street. Even in peaceful times, they would not dare to make trouble in a big way. The mountain is king.It's just that there is a mixed bag here. In addition to thieves and robbers, there are also some powerful spies from other countries and bounty hunters.

But obviously Sasuke and Kakashi encountered a more complicated situation.

"Old man, how many incidents like this have happened?"

In a small village, Kakashi was talking to the old village chief.The old village chief looked very worried and started to talk at length.

"This is the eighth case of such disappearances this month. They all disappear for no reason."

"It's not surprising that someone disappeared. After all, the village is surrounded by forests. A long time ago, there were young people who didn't listen to advice and walked too deep into the mountains and couldn't find their way back to the village."

"However, the recent situation has become abnormal. About three months ago, men in the village would disappear from time to time. I organized a team to go up the mountain to investigate, but there was no trace of anyone going there."

"These men are all young people in the village. Many of them have parents and wives to take care of, including my son Lian. Although the village is not very wealthy, we have also raised funds to dispatch tasks to Konoha Village."

"However, all the people who left the village to seek help never came back. Now the whole village is too scared to go out. If the problem is not solved, we will have to move the village."

Kakashi looked back at Sasuke.

"It seems that this is not a special case. The three surrounding villages all have missing persons."

Sasuke nodded and continued:

"And it's obviously man-made. It's impossible for natural disappearances to be so frequent, and it's probably a group of ninjas who can hide it from the eyes and ears of so many people."

Kakashi sighed heavily.This kind of human robbery is not something that human traffickers can do.Most of the people who disappear first are young adults. Selling such people who have sustenance in their hearts and have the ability to resist is too risky and the actions are too obvious, making it easy for the authorities to detect.

If it was done by a ninja, the situation would be complicated.A bounty hunter would not do such a thing; to capture and take care of dozens or hundreds of ordinary people is not something that a ninja can do. Organized wandering ninjas can do it, but there is no reason; and if it is not the above two, then it must be The number of ninjas can only come from within the Fire Country.

That is Konoha.Is it the root?No, although Danzo's methods are ruthless, he should be able to do it more perfectly with his roots.

"More than three months ago?"

Kakashi rubbed his chin and pondered.

"Well, grandpa, what do you think about this matter? Or are there any strange discoveries in the village?"

Sasuke tried to dig out the ignored information from the village chief.

"What, children, do you want to investigate this matter? I advise you to ignore this matter. Anyone who interferes in this matter will have no good results."

"Huh? How do you say that?"

"Some time ago, several ninjas came over from the west to investigate this matter, but without exception they all disappeared. So this must be a mountain ghost at work. It would be better for us to move away earlier."

Are the ninjas from the west, rain ninjas, grass ninjas or sand ninjas?

"But if you promise me to leave quickly, I can tell you a rumor."

"Okay, we can promise you."

"There is a small lake to the east of the village. Thick fog appears every morning, and those young people lost their way after hearing the singing there."

"singing?"

"Yes, it's a very soft female voice."

Using sound, does it look like an illusion?

He kidnapped a young man, who was good at using illusions of sound. Sasuke couldn't help but shudder as soon as he synthesized the information.

Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's base is not far from here, and conducting human experiments will require a large number of experimental subjects. Among the four sound ninjas under his command, Tayuya is especially good at using sounds to perform illusions.

The culprit that caused all this is probably Orochimaru, or the four sound ninjas under him.

----------

Early the next morning, as the sun rose, a light mist arose on the surface of the lake and enveloped the lakeside. Gradually, the mist became thick enough to make it difficult to see the water surface.Sasuke and Kakashi were hiding in the woods by the lake.

"We are looking for Tsunade-sama. To put it bluntly, we don't need to care about the affairs of this village, and they haven't asked us to help. Do you still decide to continue?"

Kakashi asked casually.

"Ah, after all, there are so many lives, we can't ignore them. And according to the old man, anyone who interferes will disappear. So from the time we asked the first question, isn't it already impossible to leave?"

Sasuke opened his Sharingan and stared ahead carefully.

"Besides, since you're out of the village, you should stretch your muscles as much as possible!"

Chen-Chou-Mao, the art of Water Release and Water Turbulence!

Without warning, Sasuke suddenly spit out a huge stream of water forward, apparently sensing something hidden behind the thick fog.

However, Sasuke's Water Release Fire was obviously not good enough, and he was crushed by the opponent's unknown ninjutsu.

Seeing this, Kakashi also pushed the forehead protector covering his left eye flat, and quickly formed dozens of complicated seals with his hands.

Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique.The ninjutsu performed by Kakashi used the water of the lake to form an unusually large water dragon that pressed forward.The huge water pressure formed a huge whirlpool on the lake.

"Sasuke, don't be impulsive, the other side is also a ninja."

"Oh, I see."

Sasuke answered Kakashi while forming the fire release hand seal.

The one who shattered the water chaos just now should have been a wind release ninjutsu, probably a ninjutsu with strong attack characteristics such as Kazukiri or Thousand Faces Wind.Fire defeats wind, just try this trick.

The modified ninjutsu of the evasion of the Go Fireball Jutsu, the evasion and pyrotechnic technique!

I saw a huge golden fireball exhaled from Sasuke's mouth, grazing the water surface and penetrating the thick fog like an arrow, causing a huge explosion on the lake surface, causing waves of water splashes.

"What an amazing power. Is it the Fire Release of the Uchiha clan?" Kakashi was secretly shocked.

Fire Release penetrated the thick fog and made the view ahead clear. Within two seconds, it caused more water vapor, and the visibility suddenly became even lower.

Sasuke cursed secretly, it was really a mistake, he was still inexperienced in combat.

But his worries soon disappeared.

"Ah! You're so tired of hiding, let me find you. Feng Dun·Da Lian Weasel!"

The strong wind blew away the thick fog on the lake and blew countless small wind blades towards Sasuke. Sasuke had no choice but to use the water wall to resist.Kakashi on the side frowned.

Sure enough, he is still too young. If he uses B-level ninjutsu without knowing the number of enemies, he may soon run out of chakra.

Poor Konoha's [-]-year-old didn't know that Sasuke, who had cheated on the system, had a chakra level comparable to his.

"Kakashi, it turns out to be you. I thought I was being attacked by an enemy."

The fog dissipated, and the figures were revealed. Opposite them were a middle-aged man with a scarf covering half of his face, and a blond girl of thirteen or fourteen years old carrying a huge fan. Both of them were wearing Suna Ninja forehead protectors.

"Ah, is it Marky? Why are you here in the Fire Country?"

The visitors were Maki, a Jonin from Suna Ninja Village, and Temari, who had just graduated from Ninja School two years ago.At this time, Suna Ninja and Konoha were still allies, and the two sides immediately stopped fighting after figuring out their identities.

After some exchanges, Sasuke also knew the purpose of Maki's visit.It turns out that the one who disappeared here before was a passing Suna ninja. This time, Ma Ji brought his apprentice on a mission to investigate the missing ninja.They had heard rumors in the village before and planned to come to the lake to investigate, but they didn't expect to bump into Sasuke.

"Now that the fog on the lake has been blown away by Temari's Wind Release, I think this is the end of the day."

Maki knew that Kakashi's purpose was the same as his own, so he couldn't help but look at Temari reproachfully.

"You can't blame me. I didn't know they were from Konoha. It's very dangerous to fight in the mist."

Temari turned her head and looked unconvinced.

"Not necessarily, Mr. Markey. It seems that the matter is not over yet. Right, Mr. Village Chief."

Sasuke pulled out his sword and pointed it behind Maki, where a small piece of linen was exposed between the woods.A figure came out after hearing the sound. It was the village chief whom he had met the day before.

"Ah, little brother, I just came to the lake by chance to see if any young people were lost. I had no other intention."

Sasuke laughed disdainfully.

"Old man, you pretend to be the same, but you really can't lie. From the moment I asked you, I felt that there was something wrong with you. Now that you appear here, it seems that you are the mastermind of the missing persons incident."

"Brother, did you misunderstand something? It's really just a coincidence that I came here." The village chief tried his best to defend.

"You said there are rumors in the village that singing here will cause people to disappear. If what you said is true and everyone who hears the singing disappears, then how do you know that the singer is a woman with a sweet voice?"

"You looked like you wanted to drive us away, but in the end you told us this rumor just to lure us over to investigate so that you could take action. And..."

Just as he was about to continue speaking, Sasuke suddenly felt a noisy clicking sound next to his ears, like a thousand birds chirping. In the blink of an eye, Kakashi's right hand had penetrated the old man's chest.

It's Kakashi's famous stunt, the weapon he dreams of showing off, Thunder Release Chidori.

"Also, your aura is so perfect, there are almost no flaws. It wasn't until just now that I found a chance. However, it was this chance that ruined you."

"If you lose, just go ahead and capture him, Orochimaru!"
