Tetsuya accepted the rest of the money and asked Hyōjin to sign the letter of entrustment. Then, he left with the ninja and the guide hired by the ninja.
During the whole process, he didn't say a word. It seemed that he didn't care about Hyōjin's search for the Roran survivors at all.
In fact, in this month of contact, Tetsuya, as a Jonin, had long discovered that Hyōjin, who was under the alias of "Mr. Mu", was a ninja.
After all, an ordinary person who has been running in the desert for a month, even if the body is strong, the spirit will be tired, but Kuroto is the same as them, not showing the slightest sign of fatigue. This alone shows that Kuroto has mastered the method of using Chakra.
As a ninja from a small ninja village, Tetsuya had seen all kinds of strange commissions.
He even received commissions from ninjas from the five great ninja villages to assassinate ninjas from the same village. So, he had long understood that the less he knew about things that had nothing to do with him, the better it was for him.
Hyōjin was very satisfied with the ninja's self-awareness.
If the Kusanagi Shinobi doesn't get to the bottom of the mission, or shows signs of inquiring about the purpose of searching for the Roran survivors, then Kuroto can only kill them.
After sending away the ninja, Hyōjin, who was hiding on the sand dune, carefully observed the Roran survivors in the oasis in the distance.
Soon, his eyes fell on a red-haired woman.
The woman looked about twenty years old, holding a baby in her arms, and her face was full of sadness.
Hyōjin said to himself with some uncertainty, "Is it her?"
In his memory, the last Queen of Roran was four or five years older than Kakashi who was with Four Generations at that time. Hyōjin and Kakashi were in the same generation, so the last Queen should be four or five years older than Hyōjin, which was about twenty years old.
The age matched, the hair color also matched, in the team of two or three hundred people, the only one that met the criteria was the woman, so Suijin finally identified the woman holding the baby as the last Queen of Roran Kingdom.
"How pathetic …"
After sighing with emotion, Hyōjin took out the scroll and summoned the Three Generations of Kazekage puppets.
Now was not the time to come into contact with the Loulan Queen, because if something happened to the Dragon Vein while he was traveling, then it was very likely that the village would suspect him.
Therefore, this two-month trip was just his preliminary preparation. He had two purposes.
The first was to confirm what kind of sealing technique the Four Generations had used on the Dragon Vein.
The second was to confirm Loulan Queen's exact location.
Now that both of his goals have been achieved, he only needs to leave behind Three Generations of Kazekage puppets and let Three Generations of Kazekage puppets lurk and track the convoy of the Roran survivors, so that he can grasp the position of the Roran Queen in real time.
As for himself, he could openly return to the village and clear his name. Then, he could think of a way to sneak out of the village and steal the Dragon's Vein without anyone knowing.
Bang …
Suddenly, a cloud of smoke rose. When the white smoke dissipated, the lazy figure of the One-eyed Venom Snake was revealed.
Hyōjin was slightly stunned.
Only Orochi Maru could send him a telepathic message, and Orochi Maru hadn't contacted him for a long time, so he was very surprised by Orochi Maru's sudden message.
Taking the scroll in the One-eyed Venom Snake's mouth and unfolding it, Hyōjin's face suddenly sank.
"What a lingering ghost!"
There was not much content on the scroll, just a warning message. Orochi Maru told him that his whereabouts had been detected by Scorpion, and that Scorpion was coming to the Country of Wind.
These days, in order to find the Roran survivors, Hyōjin met a lot of people of all kinds. Among these people, there might be someone who saw through Hyōjin's disguise.
But it didn't matter now, because he had achieved his goal and didn't need to stay in the Country of Wind anymore.
After thinking for a while, Hyōjin took out a scroll from his body and handed it to the One-eyed Venom Snake.
This scroll recorded the information of the Anbu members that Hyōjin collected on a daily basis, including the Anbu squad that died in the conflict with Cloud Village.
When he traded the artificial tailed beast scroll with Orochi Maru, one of the two requests made by Orochi Maru was that Hyōjin should use the advantage of the Byakugan to collect information on the Anbu members.
After so long, Hyōjin should also give Orochi Maru an explanation.
After all, this time Orochi Maru's message saved him a lot of trouble, and he had to return the favor.
Muye Village, Naruto's office.
Three Generations were looking at the village outside the window with their hands behind their back. Danzō was sitting on the side, leaning on a cane. Talking to a cripple? Waving.
Apart from Hyōjin, the other three people of Class-11 were standing in front of Naruto's desk with a nervous look on their faces.
After a while, Three Generations turned around and asked the three people of Class-11, "Have you finished looking at the documents?"
Kakashi and the other two nodded.
Three Generations asked, "What do you think, is it possible that Hyōjin did this?"
Guy was the first to stand up and said, "Naruto Sama, Kuroto will never do anything to his companions from the same village!"
Putting the photo of Uchiha's corpse and the relevant documents back on Naruto's desk, Kakashi said, "I also believe in Kuroto."
When he thought about how Hyōjin led his team to return to the valley to face hundreds of Cloud ninjas in order to save him, and how he fought with Cloud's Jinchuriki in the country of hot water for the sake of the village, Kakashi felt that Hyōjin would never betray the village. Even if the Root ninja in the photo was really killed by Hyōjin, he deserved to die.
As soon as Zhishui saw the Iron Sand mentioned in the document, he guessed that the Root ninja must have been killed by Hyōjin, because he saw Hyōjin controlling the Kazekage puppets of Three Generations.
But he had promised Hyōjin that no matter what Hyōjin did with Danzō, he must keep it a secret, so he didn't say anything to the Three Generations.
"Humph!"
Danzō, who was sitting on the side, snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Three Generations sighed and said, "Hyōjin is partly responsible for Uchiha's death, I announce that he will be suspended from his position in the Anbu Anbu."
Kakashi said calmly, "Naruto Sama, Hyōjin is my team member, if he is responsible, then as the captain, am I also responsible?"
Danzō said coldly, "Last time, your Team-11 concealed the truth, and this time your Team-11 members are suspected of assassinating a Ninja from the same village, I suggest that all members of Team-11 be suspended from their positions in the Anbu."
In order to appease Danzō, Three Generations nodded, "All members of Team-11 will be suspended from their positions in the Anbu."
