Konoha's Strongest Empress

The middle-aged man, who was chatting with the villagers, greeted the villagers after seeing Qi Ying and others coming, and walked over slowly.

There was an obvious scar on the right face of the middle-aged man, which seemed to be left by a sharp weapon. His unkempt hair was somewhat similar to that of a samurai in the Warring States Period, and his walking posture seemed to be limping crutches, with a cane in his right hand, looking very vicissitudes.

But the eyes of the middle-aged man are full of deep meanings that cannot be seen through. They are both godless and divine, making it impossible to guess what he is thinking.

And this person is an intelligence dealer who is in frequent contact with Xiaoxue, and he is quite well-known in the ninja world.

His real name and life experience are secrets that no one knows. The only thing that can be known about him is that others call him "Xiao".

He has a huge underground black market force in his hands, and has formed many hired legions mixed with civilians and ninjas.

It can also be regarded as a small city lord.

"I didn't expect that Sakura-hime would actually come to visit me in person. Where is the girl I always had?" Xiao asked with a half-smiling expression.

"She is dealing with the affairs of Sakura Country. I happened to pass by here, so I came to visit you." After Qi Ying replied lightly, her eyes scanned Xiao Xiao's whole body.

From the appearance, Xiao Xiao is no different from the villagers in this village, he is a very normal and ordinary civilian, but the ninja's intuition tells himself that this man is not simple.

And all this time, I have never personally visited this man named Xiao, and it was Xiaoxue and Aoki who established contact with Xiao, so it can be said that they met for the first time.

After Owl glanced at Zabuza and Haku, he murmured in confusion: "Why is the famous Sakura-hime with two rebel ninjas? Could it be that she led them to collect the bounty?"

"I don't need this little money, Xiao, I didn't come to you to chat, I came to buy information." Qi Ying crossed her hands on her chest, looking at Xiao Xiao's expression of not smiling.

As expected of an old man who has been around for many years, this smile

"Ah, regarding this, the girl has already paid the full amount, and I have also told her all the information about the traitorous ninja. Is there anything missing?"

"Except for the nearby places, the information you gave is relatively complete, and the information is very vague in places a little farther away from the country of Sakura, and only ghosts can find it." Qi Ying curled her lips and said angrily, then looked at Xiao Xiao.

"Let's set a price. What I want is a rebel ninja with at least a wanted order of A level or above. I don't need those miscellaneous soldiers. Also, tell me the information about a rebel ninja named Deidara in Iwagakure. "

"There are so many requests, it's a bit difficult to handle," Xiao said with a reluctant expression and sighed, but when he saw Qi Ying's serious expression, he helplessly spread his hands.

"But it's not impossible, but the money is fine. I want you to do me a favor. If you can help me solve the problem, I will tell you."

This guy even mentioned conditions

Although I was a little unhappy, I could only accept it.

After all, you can't deal with him the way you deal with some ninjas. Using illusions won't work. If illusions can easily get out of the mouths of information dealers, then there will be no such thing as information dealers.

And judging from his expression when explaining, he probably encountered something difficult to solve.

What could be the one thing that even the tycoons with such great power cannot solve?

"Okay, I will try my best to help you complete it, but I can't guarantee it. It depends on what you said first." Qiying nodded, and then said: "Say it here?"

"No, come with me." Xiao Xiao waved his hand before turning around and walking into the village.

Along the way, people in the village looked at Qi Ying with astonished expressions. After all, Qi Ying's appearance was considered a very rare "existence" in the ninja world, and it was normal for the villagers living in the mountains to have such a reaction.

And when they saw Jiraiya carrying a big sword behind Qiying, their expressions became a little more frightened.

After arriving at Xiao Xiao's house, the four of them sat down one after another.

This is a very simple house, and the furniture inside is also very dilapidated. There is only a bed, a set of dishes and cleaning tools for daily use.

Such a scene is completely unimaginable, the owl in front of him will be someone who has a huge intelligence network.

"Go ahead."

In the following time, Qi Ying also figured out the problem that puzzled Xiao Xiao.

It's a very strange thing.

In recent days, many people under Xiao Xiao's forces have disappeared inexplicably. Most of the missing people are ninjas, and a small number of missing people are civilians. They all lost contact without warning.

And there are also many ninjas who are not under his own hands, and ninjas from the five major countries have also disappeared.

Although the five major countries have sent troops to investigate this matter, there is still no progress.

What's even more strange is that some members of those missing ninjas once appeared suddenly, attacked the investigation forces of the five major countries, and even kidnapped the villagers of many villages. Until now, the truth of the matter is still very vague.

The incident first happened during the period when Qi Ying went to the Five Kages meeting. Until now, many people are still missing.

What Xiao Xiao said reminded Qi Ying of the incident that was solved not long ago.

The disappearance of the Uchiha clan created by Uchiha Luo.

At that time, Uchiha Luo was instigated by Orochimaru to abduct the people of the Uchiha clan. I thought it was a good thing that Orochimaru did, but after seeing the sharing eyes on Danzo's arm, I knew what was going on. It's not that complicated.

If it is said that Danzo and Orochimaru planned this matter, it is justified in terms of time.

But it's normal for Danzo to fall in love with the Sharingan, but would he do such a thing as kidnapping civilians and other village ninjas?

No, in the final analysis, it is still a question of whether this matter has any connection with Orochimaru and Danzo.

"Xiao, according to the information you know, have any of our villagers in the Kingdom of Sakura disappeared?" Qiying suddenly asked after thinking about it.

"No, I have not obtained such information for the time being. It seems that the civilians living near Sakura Country are in a safe condition. I guess this news has not reached you yet." Xiao Xiao shook his head and smiled: "Maybe it's fear. Sakura-hime's name, or "

"or"

After Xiao Xiao let out a strange laugh, he looked at Qi Ying with meaningful eyes: "Or it may be that you people from Sakura Country did what caused these things."

After hearing Xiao's words, Qi Ying didn't feel any displeasure and anger, but snorted coldly.

"Stop making cold jokes, just tell me all the information you have so far."

"I see."
