After rushing for ten kilometers, the speed of the two slowed down.
Even if Waterstop is a genius, he doesn't have the physique of the Uzumaki Clan. After consuming a lot of physical strength in a short period of time, he can't recover so quickly. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Waterstop's body hasn't grown up yet.
Next, the two slowly rushed forward. In the evening, they have rushed for dozens of miles. Seeing that it's getting late, they set up camp next to a stream in the woods.
Waterstop took out a sealing scroll, unsealed it, and took out a tent and some pots and pans.
"You are really well prepared." Cold Wind looked at the sealing scroll with fiery eyes.
This thing is like a space ring, it can hold a lot of things. Cold Wind doesn't have a sealing scroll, so this time, he only brought a handful of kunai with him.
Waterstop smiled and set up the tent with Cold Wind, then washed the pots and pans and put them aside, and said: "Let's go hunting together!"
Looking at Waterstop's sparkling eyes, Cold Wind felt that something was wrong and asked: "Waterstop, you wouldn't … this is your first time out of the village, right?"
Waterstop smiled and said: "Of course not, but it is indeed my first time to go so far."
"Why do I feel that you are not reliable?" Cold Wind said with a look of disgust.
The two took out their kunai and went into the forest. There is still half a month before spring, but there are already many traces of wild animal activities in the forest. The two slowly went deeper and soon found a few hares, pheasants, and in the distant shadows, the figure of a deer flashed.
Whoosh!
Waterstop and Cold Wind almost at the same time, two kunai whistled in the air and killed a hare and a pheasant in the blink of an eye.
The two returned to the stream with their respective trophies, and after cutting open the belly of the prey, they picked up a pile of dry wood, lit it with fire, and began to roast the hare and make chicken soup.
Because of the limited ingredients, the taste of the chicken soup and the roasted hare is very ordinary. The two ate while discussing business.
"Although the possibility of encountering danger is very small, we still need to keep watch at night just in case."
Waterstop said with an experienced expression, "Cold Wind, let's take turns. Do you prefer the first half of the night or the second half of the night?"
Cold Wind thought for a moment. He had the physique of the Uzumaki Clan, so his physical strength recovered quickly, so he said: "I'll keep watch for the second half of the night!"
"Well, then I'll keep watch for the first half of the night. You go to sleep first." Waterstop laughed.
…
The night passed in silence.
The next morning, Waterstop came out of his tent and saw Cold Wind doing strange things by the stream. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Cold Wind, what are you doing?"
"The times are calling!" Cold Wind answered without turning his head.
Waterstop was dumbfounded.
After that, the two of them washed up by the stream. Then, they went to the forest to catch a few early birds and stewed them into soup.
Then, the two continued on their way.
After three days of traveling, the two finally arrived at their destination at noon on the fourth day.
This is a small forest. Not far away, there is a road more than five meters wide, stretching back and forth to the Wood Leaf and the Capital of the Fire Country.
Cold Wind looked at the red bloodstains on the side of the road and asked, "Is this the place where the old thief Fu Jian was attacked?"
"Yes, this is the place."
Waterstop turned his head to identify the direction and then ran straight to the West.
"Waterstop, wait for me."
Cold Wind followed closely and asked, "So, what did the old thief Fu Jian say that made you have to come here?"
"Fu Jian … cough!"
Waterstop was almost led astray by Cold Wind. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Fu Jian said that after the prisoner disappeared, he searched the vicinity and found a village."
"A village?"
Cold Wind's heart jumped, "A Ninja Village?"
"Of course not, according to Brother Fu Jian, the people in the village are a group of old and weak women and children." Waterstop frowned, "But …"
"But what?" Cold Wind was anxious, "Waterstop, can you finish your words in one go? I hate it when you only finish half of your words!"
Waterstop smiled and said, "What I'm curious about is, how can a village made up of old and weak women and children survive?"
Cold Wind was a shrewd person. When he heard Waterstop's words, he immediately reacted, "You suspect that the bandits who attacked Fu Jian are from this village?"
Waterstop nodded.
While the two were talking, they had already run for two miles. Not far away, the terrain suddenly opened up, and a small village with smoke curling up from the chimneys appeared in front of them.
"This village is really small."
Cold Wind looked at the smoke from the chimneys. There were only fifty or so plumes. Then he looked around the village. There were obvious signs of farming, but the cold winter hasn't passed yet, so these fields were frozen like stone. It's impossible to grow anything.
If those bandits are really from this village, then … they should be forced to live, right?
Moreover, Fu Jian killed all the bandits, so the village's labor force has probably been wiped out. When spring comes, this village may not even be able to find people to farm.
Cold Wind's heart clenched when he thought of this.
"Let's go!"
Waterstop took the lead and then looked back at Cold Wind, who was still standing in the same place. "Cold Wind, what are you thinking about?"
"Huh? Nothing. "
Han Feng came back to his senses and hurriedly followed.
As soon as the two entered the village, they saw two little kids who were not much older than them.
"Who are you?"
"What are you doing in our village?"
How could Waterstop be polite with them? He directly knocked them out with a punch.
"Next, we'll change into their appearance and enter the village!" Waterstop said as he dragged the two little kids to a corner.
"You're really a schemer."
As an innocent and naive kid, Cold Wind hated Waterstop's tricks to the core. However, his hands obediently formed a seal: Transformation Technique!
Bang!
With a burst of white smoke, Cold Wind turned into one of the children.
Waterstop also formed a seal and turned into another person.
The two entered the village and looked around at the wooden houses. Through the windows, they could see old people, women, and children eating together. The two walked around openly and found nothing out of the ordinary.
"Waterstop, what do you think?" Cold Wind asked.
Waterstop said, "From their expressions and movements when they eat, the people in this village don't lack food. But without young and strong laborers, where would they get the money to buy food? So, I'm sure that the bandits that Brother Fu Jian eliminated were from this village! "
Cold Wind recalled the scenes he saw before and couldn't help but nod. "I think so too."
"Then there's the disappearance of the prisoner. I suspect that the people in this village hid him and then made a blackmail deal!" Waterstop said.
Cold Wind glanced at Waterstop and continued to nod. "I think so too!"
"And it's impossible for these old and weak prisoners to be able to make a deal with the important minister Yasui Taro. So, there must be a ninja hiding behind this village!" Waterstop said. "But this ninja doesn't dare to meet Brother Fu Jian. It means that he's not strong enough, or he's afraid of the Uchiha clan!"
"I think so too!" Cold Wind nodded with a serious expression.
"Cold Wind." Waterstop suddenly looked at him strangely. "Why do you have an accent?"
"I also … cough, nothing. You continue to deduce, don't worry about me."
Cold Wind said seriously.
