Anbu Biography

"What nonsense are you talking about? Whether Sansho Hanzo is dead or alive, that's not a character you can deal with right now."

Tsunade frowned. He and Jiraiya Orochimaru once faced the demigod in the ninja world. That battle made the three of them famous in the first battle, but the price was that the entire battlefield except them Except for the three people who survived, all the vitality was completely wiped out.

This was the most tragic battle between Konoha Village and the Country of Rain. Sanshoyu Hanzo and his men won the victory in this small-scale battlefield, but this could not affect the overall situation of the battle.In the end, the battle with the Land of Rain ended with the victory of Konoha Village. Since then, Sanjiao Hanzo has restrained the border of the Land of Rain, and few people can bring the information out of it alive.

During the Zhongnin Exam, there will be Genin from the Land of Rain, but Muye Village, as the strongest ninja village in the five major countries, cannot start with these children.

"It is precisely because the previous intelligence personnel did not send back any useful information that it is even more necessary to send a new Anbu over there."

Qing Yan talked eloquently: "Although I am not from the Zhenger Eight Classics intelligence collection class, I am still a member of the Anbu. This kind of work is not special."

Yes, of course I know... But even if it is her job, she is not willing to watch the ninjas in the village sacrifice in vain in these tasks.

Tsunade frowned: "There must be a reason to enter the Land of Rain, which is different from the Land of Rain. The security of the village of Urenin is heavily guarded, and the daimyo of the Land of Rain fully obeys the instructions of Sanshoyu Hanzo, and The situation in the Nation of Fire is quite different."

In short, some of the people in this country are soldiers.

Konoha Ninja Village and the Nation of Fire are affiliated. As the largest and most reliable military group in the country, Konoha Ninja Village centered on Hokage provides shelter for the entire Nation of Fire, and also accepts the economic benefits of the Nation of Fire daimyo. assistance, but the situation in the Land of Rain is quite different—their daimyos are more obedient to Ninja Village.

This is also the strength of Sanshoyu Hanzo - this land is the main battlefield of countless ninja wars in the past, and the people have suffered and suffered from wars. In this case, they want to ensure their national unity and territory Integrity, a certain degree of military dominance and all people are very necessary.

It is precisely because of this person's thunderous means that the Kingdom of Rain has been able to survive the precarious war all the way to this day.

"Therefore, we need a reason to enter the Kingdom of Rain, which is upright and grandiose."

Kiyohiko smiled slightly at Hokage-sama: "And I just happen to have this reason--I guess Gaara will also help me."

"Anyway, probably for this reason, we are going to the Land of Rain next."

Kiyohiko took off his ninja attire and wore a hunting suit with complicated patterns, and even the folding fan in his hand looked very delicate.If a tall black hat is added, it looks no different from those nobles of the family.

"—The situation is generally understood."

Sai was sitting in the room, maintaining a smiling expression: "It is indeed a very difficult reason to be rejected, Captain Kiyohiko."

That's right, after hearing that Kiyohiko planned to go to the Land of Rain alone, Danzo still forcibly stuffed people in this team-important information can't just be held in Tsunade's hands, he must also have The first-hand source of information, coupled with the fact that the sharingan who has not yet opened his eyes can't be allowed to die in another country like this, so after much deliberation, Sai reappeared in this team.

Fortunately, after a mission, Kiyohiko also had a preliminary understanding of Sai's strength. Since Danzo was willing to give him a tool man, he was of course willing to accept it.

"Then describe my identity again. I am a businessman who intends to go to the Land of Rain, and you are a subordinate who will follow me."

Kiyohiko said: "For this mission, we should avoid confrontation between ninjas as much as possible. If we directly face Sanshoyu Hanzo, neither of us will be able to survive a few tricks from that kind of character."

"Of course, but if you do encounter Sanshoyu Hanzo, please rest assured that even if it costs my life, I will do my best to ensure that you escape safely."

Sai said with a smile: "After all, that's what Danzo-sama ordered."

"...? It really doesn't sound like something that guy would say."

Qingyan's expression was a little surprised: "I'm really grateful that he worried about me... But don't worry, as the captain of this mission, I won't let this happen—"

"I don't think Mr. Danzo is worried about you."

Sai smiled with a confused expression: "You should know that he is only writing for sharing eyes, why do you still say that?"

Qingyan: "...that's fine, it will be annoying to talk about it."

... Isn't he being polite! !Don't expose things that everyone knows in their hearts so bluntly!

As a merchant's entourage, Sai also had to change his clothes.The boy who grew up at the roots obviously didn't like this kind of clothing that was not very active. Neither the wide sleeves nor the clogs were suitable clothing for him, but they were required by the mission after all. He didn't have a single complaint about it.

"Playing a businessman? This is indeed a new challenge for me."

Sai put the paper and pen that he never left in the package to ensure that even if he didn't have Kunai and shuriken at hand, he could maintain his fighting power anytime and anywhere.The same is true of the sketch book that never leaves the body, which is properly placed in his luggage.

This time, it was easy to be alerted by carrying a sword that was too obvious, so Kiyohiko only brought two daggers for body protection.The swords and swords in Honmaru also urged them in every possible way, and Aizen Kunijun patted his chest confidently: "This time, my lord, leave it to me!"

"We will do our best to protect the general's safety!"

Shinano Toshiro also made a serious promise to everyone: "During the time we are traveling, I will leave this pill to you!"

"It's on us!"

The newly summoned Hotaru prolonged his tone: "I'm really envious——I also want to be used as a saber by the lord, but because Master Kiyohiko is not very good at using Odachi, he always asks us to fight by ourselves."

"Because the most important part of a ninja is to hide his whereabouts. If you fight with a big sword, it is easy to be seen by others."

Kiyohiko reached out and touched Yingwan's head: "If there is a chance to fight a huge enemy, the Odachi will have an advantage over other swords-of course, if I have a choice, I actually don't want to face it. It's a dangerous situation."

Hotaru nodded sensibly. Of course, safety is the most important thing. In fact, if it is not the requirement of the government of time, as swordsmen, they hope that their lord can sit in the rear rather than face the danger on the front line.

Seven years have passed since then.

"Then just like countless times in the past—"

The swords and swords solemnly blessed: "May the lord, the martial arts prosper."

Before leaving the village, Kiyohiko waited for Kakashi in disguise at the entrance of the village.

Freelance reporter and writer Skye smiled harmlessly: "I heard from Tsunade-sama that you are going to the Land of Rain. Is there anything worth writing in the news report?"

"The Land of Rain has a detailed method of checking chakra. If there are too many ninjas going in, there will be no harm but no benefit."

Qingyan shook his head, and rejected the other party's plan to accompany him: "And if the other party is Akatsuki, you are bigger than my goal."

Although most people could be fooled, Qingyan didn't think that this kind of camouflage would be [-]% effective against those monsters.Just like facing Danzo, it may be more useful to cautiously assume a cooperative attitude than to have excessive hostility from the beginning.

——Of course, such an organization may not be able to listen to people.

"Then at least take some backup measures."

Kakashi seemed to have known for a long time that his first proposal would be rejected, and took out a scroll: "This is a scroll of reverse spiritism. I sealed a shadow clone in it. It should be able to provide combat power at critical moments." , and when the avatar dissipates, it can also pass on information."

"My next mission happens to be in the land of earth, where the preparatory work for the Chunin exam is going on, although this time there is no jinnin that I am directly responsible for, but if there is no accident, I will be one of the accompanying jinnin. "

The Land of Rain is located at the junction of the borders of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, and it also directly borders the Land of Wind to the southwest. If something unexpected happens, it should be too late to come to rescue from the Land of Earth.

"To be honest, from my personal point of view, I don't want you to go to such a dangerous place at all."

Kakashi stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek, with a rare expression of embarrassment: "But I always feel that you are so determined to go to the Land of Rain, and you must have your own purpose."

Everyone is a ninja, and they are all ninjas who came from the war. If you say that you will not perform the mission because you are worried about dying in the mission, it will make people laugh out loud.But based on a certain secret thought, Kakashi really didn't want this guy to risk himself—maybe it was because Kiyohiko held some kind of technology and knowledge from another world that he didn't know, or maybe it was simply because , unwilling to have his teammates sacrificed.

or……

For a while, he couldn't completely tell which one of them this idea was based on. The identity of "Skaia" was much more free than that of "Kakashi". At first, he even wanted to use this identity And the idea of ​​going to the land of rain.

But reason stopped him.

——Ninjas must not be afraid of missions. If you try to join the mission team rashly just because of some unidentified danger, it has violated a ninja's original intention and heart.Of course he can choose to help Qing Yan in a certain mission, but it is impossible to do this every time-after all, in this world that is too dangerous, if there is not enough self-protection power, then no matter whether you want to simply survive Or intend to realize the dream, it is nothing but nonsense.

"Ah Ching."

In the end, countless complicated thoughts turned into a scroll that sealed the shadow avatar. Of course, Kakashi also understood that such an approach was a bit self-deceiving. After all, facing an enemy of the level of "Akatsuki", whether it Bo Weasel or Kisame Kisame, neither is a dangerous character that I can fight against with my shadow clone, but...

"You must not die."

...?

Qing Yan showed a surprised expression: "What are you playing..."

Different from the expression belonging to "Kakashi", the identity of "Skaia" seems to be a product that is deliberately cut from his own personality.The little reporter wearing a scarf had a very serious expression, as if it wasn't the copy ninja who was so famous and shocked the entire ninja world, but came here early as an ordinary friend to see him off.

"--I promise you that."

The young man in hunting clothes stood at the entrance of the village, his expression was first shocked, then thoughtful, and finally fixed into a smile: "I will live to the age of three generations at least—if I finally see the beautiful side of this world, but Wouldn’t it be too much of a disadvantage if you couldn’t enjoy it by yourself.”

"Moreover, there is no way to transfer my wish to you. That is something that only I can do."

I promise you, I will not entrust you with my wishes and then die like those in the past.Kiyohiko smiled knowingly. At that moment, Kakashi even felt that the other party had seen through something deeper in him that even he himself was reluctant to touch—or this kind of thinking was just It's just my own illusion.They are all deep-minded guys. Since Qing Yan returned to this world, they have tried each other for several rounds, but no matter what, this guarantee really hit somewhere in his own heart.

——Obviously there is no Sharingan, but it is really amazing, Uchiha clan.

He turned sideways to make way for Kiyohiko and Sai.

"Next week is Asma and Hong's wedding, come back in time to attend."

"Of course!"

The Land of Rain, as the name suggests, has constant rain almost all year round.

Kiyohiko and Sai took the empty road on the kite hawk with the super beast fake painting, and stopped at the end of the forest on the border of the Kingdom of Fire.

"From here onwards is the boundary of the Kingdom of Rain."

Sai said: "Afterwards, I can no longer use ninjutsu. I can only walk to the inside of this country with my feet. Speaking of Captain Kiyohiko, what reason are you going to use to sneak in? Some seniors tried to sneak in before, basically It all ended in failure.”

Danzo and Sanshoyu Hanzo are basically old rivals. They each have victories and losses, and their thoughts are equally deep. They are the kind of existence that "will do whatever it takes for their own village".After learning that the recently active gold exchanges are almost all around the country of rain, Danzo immediately dispatched root members to monitor, but unfortunately no useful information was sent back, probably Because of this, Danzo is determined to let Sai go out again to follow Kiyohiko on missions.

"—to reiterate, not 'infiltrate', but 'into'."

Kiyohiko shrugged: "I have a valid reason. If I came to purchase things, the name of the Land of Rain will not prevent normal business activities anyway, right?"

"That's right, but..."

Sai stroked his chin: "If it's not big enough to impress the interests of the Land of Rain, but just an ordinary business operation, letting two ninjas into the village is not the style of Salamander Hanzo."

"Then we can only take one step at a time. It's useless to plan too much before, but in short, let's try to make the other party interested as much as possible."

Kiyohiko shrugged and took out an umbrella: "From now on, don't call me 'Captain' anymore."

"Okay, Master Kiyohiko."

Sai followed behind him obediently, and also raised an umbrella.

The two walked into the border of the Kingdom of Rain in such a tandem.

The showers continued, washing the ground.The rainwater sprayed one after another on the ground, and finally gathered in the sewers in the streets and alleys.

There is such a legend circulating in the Land of Rain: It is said that these continuous heavy rains are the eyes of the local rain god, and anyone who lives here will appear in the eyes of the other party.Sai has also heard such rumors. After all, among the roots, some people have indeed raised the idea of ​​"whether there is chakra in the field of perception in rainwater", but unfortunately, so far, most of the roots that have sneaked into the country of rain have lived and died. Unknown, the lucky ones who come back occasionally only bring vague information, and it is said that they were discovered at the very beginning of entering this country.

But such a large-scale wide-area perception technique is not Sanshoyu Hanzo's forte.

Many people on the street wore the forehead protector of Urenin, but some people blatantly drew a horizontal line on the forehead protector, which meant that they would no longer obey the instructions of Sanshoyu Hanzo.Kiyohiko and Sai exchanged glances, and the ninja of their own village grandly stated in the Land of Rain that they were no longer willing to obey the leader's instructions, which meant that the chaos in the Land of Rain was even more outrageous than they imagined.

Qingyan stepped into the door of a small restaurant calmly.

"Boss, please excuse me for two bowls of tea and rice."

"okay!"

Soon, the hot chazuke was served in front of Kiyohiko and Sai, and the shopkeeper arranged the bowls and chopsticks neatly, and asked "inadvertently", "You are a stranger, are you outsiders?"

"Yes, from the Land of Fire."

Qing Yan has no intention of hiding it: "Your place is the first decent restaurant we have seen since we entered the territory of the Land of Rain. Do you have any local specialties to recommend?"

"Haha, a small place like ours..."

The store manager stroked the back of his head and said pleasantly: "How can it be compared to the five great countries? If it is a distinguished guest from the country of fire, it is estimated that they will not like our things here."

"Then add another grilled fish, don't put chili on the grilled eggplant, thank you."

Kiyohiko looked at the menu, and there were indeed ordinary dishes on it: "Sai, is there anything you want to eat?"

"Ah I?"

Before he could react for a while, Qingyan suddenly called his name: "I can do it, Qingyan... my lord."

At the last moment, he braked to change his words, and didn't call out "Captain Qingyan".

The store manager still looked warm and welcoming, turned around and left with a new order.

"You know that? He's a peripheral intelligence officer."

Sai lowered his voice: "There are also some ninjas stationed in the inns on the border of Fire Nation. Characters from major families who are not very good at frontal combat are often placed in such places. Once he leaves, our intelligence will definitely Sent to his superiors."

"Even if it wasn't like this, the former intelligence personnel would have returned home or died here directly."

Qing Yan shrugged: "Since this is the case, it means that the other party has intelligence methods that we don't know about, so it's better to take the traditional route."

After finishing speaking, he raised his chopsticks, as if the conversation had never happened—the owner put the grilled fish in one hand and the eggplant in the other and put it on the table: "Your order is ready, how about you?" Look up to your appetite!"

The combination of eggplant, oil and minced garlic exudes a tempting aroma, and the grilled fish is also just right, with neat scratches on the skin, and the prepared spices are evenly sprinkled on it, steaming hot ——Regardless of whether this store is used for intelligence gathering or not, the food provided is of good quality.

"Speaking of which, we are businessmen from other places, so we don't know much about the situation in the Land of Rain."

Qing Yan suddenly said: "Excuse me, who is responsible for these water pipelines and sewer systems in your country? We want to purchase this kind of water pipeline... Which craftsman should I contact for this?"
