Remnant bones

In the long yellow sand, a white figure surrounded by yellow dust walked slowly towards the east.In the golden ocean under the setting sun, there was a shallow scar that was submerged in an instant.

"It's so hot..." I flicked the dust on the bamboo hat, and I murmured weakly.This damn weather...

Spread out the scroll in your hand, and in the first column of the text, it is clearly written: "Get the unique herb of Shayin Village in the Land of Wind—Biye Luoqi." There is also a delicate color hand-painted drawing below, which is a lifelike introduction. Biye Luoqi's appearance characteristics.

I couldn't help raising my eyebrows. If I remember correctly, this Biye Luoqi seems to be a precious herb that matures every three years on average, and the yield of each mature is less than three plants.The asking price of the underground world is as high as 1000 million... The price is not a problem, the key point is that, except for the three plants that are provided to the royal family of the Kingdom of Wind every nine years, all the herbs are kept by the retired elders of the past generations of the Presbyterian Church in Hidden Sand Village !Even Fengying only has the right to deploy one plant every five years, which is a "not for sale" that "money can't buy" as the saying goes!

Let me just say... That guy Orochimaru is not so "kind"!Rubbing my protruding temples, I suppressed the urge to go back and dismantle his research room.Helpless...

"People have to bow their heads under the eaves." At the time of the "agreement", I did say that "as long as the strength reaches a certain level, and on the premise that there is no threat to life, during the transaction time, Orochimaru has assigned me Kazumaro's right to carry out missions".But...he is so sure that my strength has reached the level where I can go to the upper levels of Shayin Village to "play wild"! ?

As soon as his own air-conditioning surged out, the scorching sun in the sky evaporated the thin ice without any hesitation.Even my desire to be angry was tortured by the temperature enough to cook an egg and disappeared.

I don't believe Orochimaru doesn't know, my constitution is cold!Not to mention this kind of desert area, the temperature is a little higher in summer, as long as I don’t pay attention, I’m prone to heatstroke... Looking at the towering walls that I can vaguely see in the distance, I swear in my heart with a gloomy face, wait When did I go back... I absolutely want to let the "snake nest" of Orochimaru be "exposed"...

Putting away the scroll, I sighed and continued on my way.It's almost getting dark... Hurry up and get outside the village and find a place to rest.Let's explore the road at night... I hope to finish this task within three days.I can't stand the climate here!

——Two days later, the outer edge of the inner courtyard of Sand Ninja Hospital in Hidden Sand Village——

In this desert-like climate, the temperature at night is very different from that during the day.If you feel hot in short clothes during the day, but at night, you'd better not go out without wearing a sweater.Even for me, it is impossible to wear only one unlined garment as usual.

Standing on the roof of a building, I lifted my collar enough to cover half of my face, and saw that under the moonlight, the hot air I exhaled was slightly white.He couldn't help frowning, and shifted his gaze to the dark courtyard not far away.Why do those old people always like to be bored in the ground...

Orochimaru is not too unscrupulous after all, at least when I checked the quest carefully, I found a sub-scroll sealed under the quest.It was a floor plan of Hidden Sand Village. Although there is no layout plan of the most critical inner courtyard, at least I won't waste time looking for its location.To be honest, although I'm not a road idiot, I don't have a good sense of direction. If I don't have a map... ahem...

It took me two days to get into the reference room of Fengying Office Building.That ghostly place is exactly as I expected, there is no one in the year of the monkey, and the dust is as thick as a finger.

The so-called reference room is actually a large file warehouse.Really important documents and materials will never be placed in such a place that is difficult to defend and can be confirmed. However, according to the usual practice, the distribution map of the housing planning and construction of each ninja village is basically piled up here.Although the blueprints of secret agencies and important places would not be placed here, even if they were just ordinary building blueprints, a lot of useful things could be analyzed from those missing parts of the data.

The architectural style of Shayin Village is deeply influenced by the local climate. The roofs are mostly shell-shaped and semi-arc-shaped with fewer edges and corners, and the number of floors of the buildings is not high.I don't have a deep research on this area, and I can be said to be a complete layman, but at least I found what I wanted to know...the basement.

The buildings here are more or less built with basements, three floors deep, one floor shallow, and even a storage room less than one floor.However, the geology of desert areas is not suitable for building basements everywhere after all.Hidden places like the Presbyterian Church, Refuge, and Anbu will never need small projects like two or three floors.As long as the geological conditions in these surrounding areas are investigated, and after a large-scale exclusion, the location of such places can basically be determined.

I can't deduce that the huge amount of information has been "filtered" by me, and there are only five places that meet the target.However, thanks to the fact that I have worked in a research institute, otherwise most people would only have a headache just reading those documents.

It didn't take me much time to check one by one.In the two days, three-quarters of it was spent on sorting out the documents.Soon I determined the location of this mission - located on the sixth floor underground, at the Sandy Hospital under the cliff on the west side of Sandy Village...at least that's what it said on the surface.

It is obviously impossible to get the floor plan of the basement in a short time.I don't want to waste any more time on this matter, after finding out the timetable of the peripheral ninja patrolling squad, Dang even decided to start action tonight!

For the sake of hiding my identity, I changed out of my iconic white kimono and put on my favorite black short-fitting sleeveless shorts, even the belt is pure black.Black sleeves, black ninja shoes, black headband, because I didn't have time to dye my hair, even my long pure white hair was wrapped in black yarn, folded three times and tied into a ponytail.

Don't ask me why I don't use the transformation technique, to be honest... Among the most basic three-body techniques (transformation technique, clone technique, and substitute technique), except for the substitute technique, I... can't use any of them...

It's embarrassing to say, but it's indeed a common problem for Taijutsu ninjas to be incapable of ninjutsu.The technique of using ninjutsu that I have developed requires a part of myself as a medium.Substitution technique is okay, but for avatar technique, props need to be prepared in advance, it is more like puppet technique if it is called avatar technique.And the transformation technique... seems to belong to the category of illusion, and my talent in illusion is "zero".There is no need to count on the transformation technique... Well, let's get down to business.

The forehead, as a sign of a ninja, is undoubtedly the biggest leak of identity in my opinion.It's not a problem for me, though, and I'm not even a ninja, strictly speaking.Likewise, I have no intention of using the identity of a ninja to complete the mission.Therefore, as the main weapon for carrying out the mission, I put my own bone blade - "Bai Ji" into actual combat for the first time.

As a bone blade, "Bai Ji" is not like Jun Malu's bone knife, which can be seen as a bone at a glance.After I compress and change it for a long time, its appearance is a pure white katana sword, which looks no different from ordinary swords except for the color and texture.But the middle part of the blade is hollow, very thin, and it is composed of the disassembly and reorganization of my right arm bone.

Because of the current height, the entire blade is only less than one meter in length, which is very similar to a Taidao, but according to my vision, it is obviously still a long way from meeting my requirements, but it is barely enough.Anyway, I'm not tall now...

Saber Ronin, also known as wandering samurai, is my current identity.

Checking my equipment again, I raised my collar, squinted my eyes, and the white pupil of my right eye turned into a light golden snake pupil. Suddenly, many large and small orange spots appeared in my field of vision.

Under the faint moonlight, that little bit of light gold shone with emotionless indifference, and a ray of madness was fleeting in his eyes.I really miss it... Let me make this place a "turn upside down"...

"The game...begins." The indifferent whisper was blown away by the midnight wind...

——Inside the secret hall of the Presbyterian Church, the sixth basement floor——

"Master Chiyo, please wait!" A middle-aged Anbe wearing a sand ninja forehead, with an ugly complexion, followed a petite figure, and asked to stay: "The matter of 'Shouhe', Kazekage-sama hopes that you and Elder Ebino..."

"That's enough, I'm not an elder anymore." Mu Ran stopped, and the old woman called Elder Chidai said impatiently, "I had already declared it when I was implementing that 'plan'! This kind of blasphemy of life...they will definitely be condemned by God! Those arrogant and ignorant juniors, hmph..."

"But Chiyo-chan... the former elder..." Just as he was about to persuade her, the middle-aged Anbu was startled by the other party's stare.Immediately realizing his slip of the tongue, he changed his words abruptly and said: "Master Qiandai, you presided over the turning seal of 'Shouhe' at the beginning, Lord Kazekage hoped that you would think of a way to see if there is a turning point." After all, the mental state of Renzhuli is obviously not normal. I don't know if it is a problem with the seal..."

"You shouldn't ask me about this matter, go ask your 'honorable' Kazekage-sama!" Suddenly interrupting the other party's words with an angry face, Chiyo's mother-in-law flashed a trace of unseen sadness and remorse, and said in a mocking tone. Said: "When the seal was performed back then, I reminded him that this technique has serious flaws! The only remedy is to guide it correctly in the acquired environment... That is his own son! He is a 'father' 'I can't do it, what can I, an 'outsider' do!"

"But...I love him..." When it comes to that "Renjuriki", even the middle-aged Anbe himself can't help showing a little fear.However, even after hearing the meaning of chasing customers in the other party's words, out of his own responsibility, he still persisted in persuading him.

Seeing the flash of fear in his eyes, Granny Qiandai's expression softened, but the sarcasm in her eyes became deeper and deeper.From the beginning, the birth of this "plan" was wrong... Even the executor's attitude is so one-sided and extreme, how can it succeed... The only victim of this "error" is that child... …

The corruption of the Presbyterian Church, the timidity of the high-level officials, and the ignorance of the adults have even deeply affected the children of the next generation.The moment she stepped down from the position of elder, she had already seen through the "truth" of all this.Or in other words, the person who is least qualified to say that... is actually herself.

As one of the culprits of this "tragedy", all she chose was to "escape"...

"Needless to say." After giving the other party her final answer for the last time, Grandma Chiyo looked at the other party contemptuously with the impatient expression she had at the beginning and said, "Tell the fourth generation 'what you did, and clean up the mess yourself.' Now... is the era of 'young people', we old guys who are about to sink into the soil, can't help..." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

"Master Chiyoko..." The middle-aged Anbu was about to try to persuade him again, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks when he saw the person in front of him.

"Which 'little mouse' is hiding there!? Come out for me!" Mu Ran turned her head to look at the crossbeam of the stone pillar at the left rear, and Grandma Qiandai scolded with sharp eyes.What a great secret technique!If she didn't use the "compound eye technique", it would be difficult for her to detect the existence of the other party...

What followed was an eerie silence.

Because of this inexplicable call, Anbu, who was stunned by the side, couldn't help being suspicious, really... someone?Why didn't he feel CKL at all?No matter what he said, he is also a ninja...

Angry because of his doubts, Grandma Qiandai raised her right hand, moved her index finger slightly, and a blurred shadow quickly flew in another direction.The rock wall at that place was blown into dust: "Come out for me!"

When the smoke and dust dispersed, the middle-aged Anbu still didn't see the figure, but he only felt that his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.From the beginning to the end, he didn't even notice the existence of the enemy, and the splashed blood stained the floor under his feet red.

Seeing Gulu's head rolling to her eyes, Grandma Chiyo frowned slightly.Such a fast speed...not an easy little guy!
