At night, insects and birds were quiet.
Wuwei slept on the ground, but he couldn't fall asleep.
"Fake, fake, it's all fake! What starry sky? It's simply an unrealistic fantasy! "
"Personal fate may be changed, but the future of the Grass Country has long been doomed! No matter how hard we try, we can only struggle to survive in the cracks of the big countries! "
"But … is it really useless? If I can become a strong man like Hanzo of the Rain Country, maybe I can protect the village! "
"Impossible, my talent may be the strongest in the Grass Village, but any three of Wood Leaf's Genin are not weaker than me. It's impossible for me to become that kind of strong man with such ordinary talent!"
"What should I do?" Wuwei's eyes were confused, looking at the boundless starry sky and talking to himself. "Father, if it's you …"
On the other side, Garashi was resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't be nervous, I'm Yamanaka Inoichi, and now I'm using the Yamanaka Clan's Secret Technique to communicate with you."
"Long story short, that Wuwei seems to be hiding part of his strength. Considering this, he is likely to be an undercover of the Rock Crypsis!"
Silence, one second, two seconds …
Yamanaka Inoichi couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you talk? By the way, you can talk as long as you think it in your heart. "
Asma couldn't hold it anymore, and after knowing the method, he quickly said, "Haha! I already knew he was undercover! "
Yamanaka Inoichi was stunned, "Already knew?"
He was only able to judge based on his rich experience. Since when did Asuma have such a keen eye?
Asuma chuckled. "It's not just me. Even Shushi and Red know about it!"
Yamanaka Inoichi's body outside his spiritual consciousness couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "So, except for him who didn't know he was exposed, all of us knew, and we were all cooperating with him?"
At this moment, he inexplicably felt that the boy named Wuwei was a little pitiful.
Asuma laughed. "Who asked him to treat us like fools and fool us! However, Garashi is still the most overboard, tricking him into a daze! "
Garashi sighed softly. "As long as it's a lie, it will be exposed one day. So, I didn't lie to him!"
However, the truth was sometimes more deceptive than a lie!
Red said worriedly, "Garashi, then you …"
Garashi said, "Don't worry about it. It's because I've wandered around in confusion that I cherish the present even more. I also hope that Senior Wuwei can walk out of the past."
Asma muttered, "You're too kind. How can you treat a spy like this?"
Garashi chuckled. "We still don't know what's going on in the Grass Country, so there's no need to reject a force that can be recruited."
Asma exclaimed, "Wait, even the spies have come out. Could it be that the Grass Nation hasn't been corrupted yet?"
Yamanaka Inoichi said, "First of all, we can't rule out that Rock Crypsis deliberately created the illusion that Kusanagi is controlled by them. Secondly, it's also possible that some of Kusanagi's forces have turned to Rock Crypsis. If we rush to make a judgment, it's likely that we'll push the forces that were originally leaning toward Wood Leaf to the enemy. "
"So, our main task is still to inquire about intelligence!"
"I see."
Yamanaka Inoichi added, "Also, Garashi, you can try to get information from the boy named Wuwei, but be careful!"
Garashi said, "I know what to do."
… …
Two days later, the group finally arrived at Kusanagi Village.
Unlike what Garashi and others thought at first, Kusanagi Village was not desolate, and it even had a sense of prosperity.
This change surprised several people.
"There are so many bandits and robbers in the Grass Country. Why does Kusanagi Village look so harmonious?" Asma asked while touching his head.
"Because those big people don't care about the life and death of ordinary people at all!" Wuwei sneered, "The only thing they will do is to use the interests of the Grass Country to please other countries around them and use so-called diplomatic means to maintain their own rule!"
After that, he shook his head again, "Sorry, I was a little angry. By the way, since you have arrived at Kusanagi Village, let's separate here. "
They didn't ask him to stay, but asked, "Wuwei -senpai, where is your home? We want to invite you to dinner before we leave. "
"You saved me, I should be the one to invite you." Wuwei said with a smile, "As for accommodation, I actually don't have a place to live yet. After all, Gōryū Castle is on a nearby island."
"If you want to find me, you can go to the hostel in the north of the village. I should rest there."
"Then we'll go to hand in the task first, goodbye Wuwei -senpai."
When the caravan left, Wuwei put away the smile on his face, "They don't even know Gōryū Castle. It seems that they didn't come for that matter."
… …
Under the leadership of Kitahara Shigeharu, Garashi and the others came to an extremely luxurious mansion.
"Yamanaka Jonin, the one who ordered this batch of materials from Wood Leaf is the Minister of Finance of our Grass Country. In order to avoid the covetous eyes of those bandits, we had to use the name of a caravan."
Yamanaka Inoichi wasn't surprised, this was something that had been explained before accepting the task.
Walking into the mansion, a middle-aged man with a pair of bright eyes was already waiting.
"Friends from Wood Leaf, it's been hard on you." The middle-aged man invited them into the living room with great enthusiasm, "I'm the Minister of Finance of the Grass Country, Ueno Shin, and the initiator of this commission."
As soon as he came up, he began to pour out his grievances.
"Our Grass Country is suffering, we're really suffering …"
After explaining how "hard" the people, ninjas, and officials of the Grass Country were suffering, he changed the topic and mentioned the deep friendship between Wood Leaf and the Grass Country.
Finally, he raised the topic with tears, "For the peace of the Shinobi World, for the friendship between the two countries, I'm here to ask Wood Leaf to help us with another batch of materials!"
Asma looked at him with "admiration". Arms and materials are extremely important strategic resource reserves.
It's good enough to sell them to you, but this time you're planning to get them for free?
Yamanaka Inoichi tapped the table lightly, "I will tell Naruto -sama about your request. However, I have a proposal. "
Ueno Shin smiled brightly, "Please say."
Yamanaka Inoichi smiled, "Why don't you directly entrust Wood Leaf's Ninja to clean up the bandits? This way, not only do you not have to worry about the materials being robbed, but you can also ensure the safety of your Ninja. "
Ueno Shin's smile froze, and the next moment, he sighed, "No, after all, this is our Grass Country's internal affairs. If we ask Wood Leaf's Ninja to do it, it may be misunderstood by our people! It doesn't matter if we're scolded, but how can we let our allies bear a bad reputation? "
Yamanaka Inoichi didn't insist, "Is that so? It seems that I didn't think about it. "
Ueno Shin smiled brightly, "Haha, Yamanaka Jonin is also thinking about us!"
Yamanaka Inoichi looked outside the door, "It seems that it's getting late. Let's go back to Wood Leaf early …"
At this time, Asma shouted according to the previous discussion, "Yamanaka sensei, let's go back to Wood Leaf tomorrow. It's rare to come out, it's a pity to go back like this!"
"This …"
Seeing that Yamanaka Inoichi was a little embarrassed, Ueno Shin also persuaded, "This little Ninja is very reasonable. It's rare to come out, let's experience our Grass Country's style!"
As he said that, he had already arranged, "Although my place is a bit 'simple', it's not a problem for a few more guests. Yamanaka Jonin, you guys can stay here for the night!"
