As Kato Mitsukaze went deeper into the Country of Rain, the forest around him became denser. The low grass and trees became rarer, and his nose was filled with a damp and rotten smell.
There were more and more creeks and rivers, and the humidity in the air was getting higher. The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and the color gradually turned gloomy.
As Kato Mitsukaze rushed to the Rain Village, it was almost dark. At one point, he thought it was going to rain and that he might be unlucky enough to get wet.
But when Gat arrived at his first destination, the sky was still gloomy, and the ground was very wet. It was obvious that it had just rained lightly in the afternoon.
When Gat Mitsukaze arrived, the rain stopped and prevented him from getting wet.
[As expected of Princess Tsunade's kiss … I hope tonight will continue to bring me good luck. It's up to you whether we can return to the Northwest Stronghold's camp as soon as possible. May my wife bless us!]
Gat Mitsukaze stretched out his right hand and touched one of his eyebrows.
…
He mobilized the Chakra in his body and used the Spirit Breeding Technique to separate his Soul Clone from his body.
Kato Mitsukaze's main body and his Soul Clone began to move separately.
He did not hide his main body like before. Only his Soul Clone was moving around because the two mission locations near the Rain Village were not the same.
If Kato Mitsukaze wanted to rush back to the Western Stronghold's camp as soon as possible and catch up with his old classmate, Hatsuki Shigeru, he was still a little pressed for time.
Kato Mitsukaze's main body's mission target was the wealthy merchant who had defected from the Nation of Fire. He was not a ninja and was just an ordinary person. The guards he hired were also just a team of Rain Chunin.
More importantly, Kato Mitsukaze was confident in his own strength. As long as his main body did not encounter the leader of the Rain Village, Hanzo, he could easily retreat even if he was no match for the other Rain Ninjas.
His Soul Clone began to investigate the surrounding environment and intelligence, preparing to investigate the suspected new type of large psychic beast.
Kato Mitsukaze's main body turned towards the second destination, the hiding place of the rich merchant who had defected from the Fire Nation.
Be it Kato Mitsukaze's main body or his soul avatar, both of them had minimized their soul fluctuations and concealed their own information very well.
This was especially so for the soul clone. Its unique form and the fact that it was able to conceal its soul fluctuations very well, ordinary spiritual beasts or humans wouldn't be able to sense its existence.
If this unknown large psychic beast was the monster that Kato Mitsukaze guessed, Kato Mitsukaze wouldn't investigate too much.
Once it was confirmed, the Soul Avatar would retreat if there was any danger. If it was really captured, the Soul Avatar would self-destruct. At the same time, the Soul Avatar would retreat quickly to ensure its own safety.
Kato Mitsukaze could still bear the loss of a Soul Avatar.
As for the Soul Avatar, it needed to search a larger area. It did not have much of a clue yet, so it was still slowly searching.
On the other hand, Kato Mitsukaze's main body was doing very well.
…
At this time, Kato Mitsukaze's main body, which was some distance away from the Soul Avatar, successfully sneaked into the target, the residence where the rich merchant was hiding.
This place was already relatively close to the core area of the Rain Village. Outside was a street of the Rain Village's commercial district. It was rare for the weather to be clear at this time, and the faint sound of hawking could be heard.
The various materials of the pipes on the walls of the houses on the street were dripping rain, making a "ticking" sound.
When Kato Mitsukaze passed by the commercial street, he also bought a bottle of perfume for Tsunade in a small shop.
According to the merchant who sold it, this perfume was extracted from a kind of vine flower that was half raw with salamander fish. It was very precious and unusual. This perfume was a unique specialty of the Rain Nation.
This vine flower itself was not poisonous, and the smell was very fragrant.
In the legends of the Rain Nation, it was said that it could cure the general salamander fish poison and was regarded as a symbol of auspicious luck by the people of the Rain Nation.
This rich merchant really knew how to enjoy life. The place where he escaped to was also not small. The main building was the unique square tower building of the Rain Nation.
He didn't know how much money the rich merchant had spent in the Fire Nation. How many ordinary people had he plundered, and how many people had he plundered? How could he still enjoy such a good house on the way to escape?
Kato Mitsukaze has already sensed the surrounding intelligence. In addition to the rich merchant and his family living in the innermost side, a group of servants also lived in the periphery.
The team of Rain Chunin hired by the rich merchant had two people on duty, one in the light, one in the dark, and the other one resting in the next room.
Kato Mitsukaze carefully avoided several traps and smoothly sneaked into the rich merchant's room along the horizontal and vertical pipes on the street.
It was not too late, and the mission target had not yet gone to bed. He was doing some adult after-dinner entertainment in bed.
Kato Mitsukaze, who was hiding in the dark of the room, was not in a hurry.
After confirming that he was well hidden, he waited in the dark with peace of mind, waiting for the progress of the soul avatar.
…
Kato Mitsukaze's soul avatar has already searched more than half of the mission site and really found some interesting things.
Recently, Gat Imperial Wind has been in the Wood Leaf Village. In addition to being busy with his own practice and falling in love with Tsunade, he put more energy in the Wood Leaf Base of Spring to treat the "patients" that emerge every day.
These "patients" came from a variety of strange sources, but they all have a disease related to Mokuton.
Although Gat Imperial Wind mainly treats the poor "patients" from the soul aspect, he also wants to study Mokuton Ninjutsu, not to study and learn Mokuton Ninjutsu, but to understand the various characteristics of Mokuton Ninjutsu, so that he can better and more conveniently treat the poor "patients".
In the Spring Base of Spring, there are all kinds of materials piled up in the room, not only various experimental records, but also some characteristics of Mokuton Ninjutsu and so on.
Kato Mitsukaze's soul clone was in a corner of the forest. He found something similar to the vines left behind by some of the "patients" in Base of Spring after their outbreaks.
In a dense forest, it was normal for there to be something similar to a vine.
However, Kato Mitsukaze has seen something similar in the Wood Leaf Base of Spring, and the Spring Base of Spring is the base for the study of the First Hokage Senju Tokuma Cell Transplant. It is the secret base of Wood Leaf to cultivate the new generation of Mokuton Ninjutsu.
This place is somewhere in the Land of Rain, and now it's the 35th year of the Wood Leaf, and there are rumors of large psychic beasts in the vicinity, and the nearby residents have heard a huge shrill and terrible roar.
With so many coincidences added together, when Kato Mitsukaze's soul avatar saw something similar to a vine, he determined that this should be the hiding place of a great person.
Now that he has found the trace, it's easy to follow the vine all the way to the melon, and now the soul avatar has found a hidden cave entrance.
This cave entrance is quite hidden, on a high hillside, behind a boulder.
Around the entrance of the cave, there is a circle of the same vine that he just found, but the difference is that the vine here is not dead, but alive.
Kato Mitsukaze's soul avatar carefully sensed that there is a faint Chakra fluctuation on these vines, which should be a kind of precautionary Ninjutsu.
This cave entrance is not big, just enough for an adult to crawl out, and it's quite steep, it can be said to be straight up and down.
Obviously, it's not a cave for people or large creatures to come out, it should be some kind of vent.
Kato Mitsukaze's main body and soul avatar are communicating in real time, and now it's basically confirmed that there is a 95% probability that this should be the hiding place of that great person.
So what should he do now? Should he let his soul avatar take the risk and enter the cave to investigate the specific information?
Kato Mitsukaze's main body and soul avatar discussed for a long time, and decided to take the risk and enter the cave to investigate.
However, Kato Mitsukaze's main body first let his soul avatar hide and wait for him for a while, he has to deal with the rich merchant first.
Even if he decided to let his soul avatar take the risk, he has to make some more preparations.
…
In the hiding place of the rich merchant of the Land of Fire, in the bedroom of the rich merchant, Kato Mitsukaze's main body was forced to eavesdrop for a short period of time.
Before, when he saw the entertainment foreplay of the rich merchant, he thought that the real play would also be very exciting, but who knew that when the real fight started, the rich merchant surrendered after a few rounds. It's really a waste of the woman, who cooperated with him so much.
In order to get justice for his ears that were polluted by the noise, Kato Mitsukaze decided to immediately send the rich merchant to the arms of the Sage of the Six Paths.
Kato Mitsukaze, who was hiding in the dark of the room, mobilized the Chakra in his body and used the Wind Release Great Breakthrough.
There was no strong wind like when an ordinary ninja uses the Wind Release Great Breakthrough. Under the subtle control of Kato Mitsukaze's Chakra, a weak wind blew in the room, and the wind caused by a normal person walking is stronger than this gust.
The difference is that this weak wind is mixed with Kato Mitsukaze's poison.
After a while, the breathing of the two bodies in the room returned to normal.
The poison used by Kato Mitsukaze is not a lethal poison. Ordinary ninja will faint after coming into contact with it, and without the antidote, they will be unconscious for a long time.
Not to mention that the rich merchant who betrayed the Land of Fire is an ordinary person.
Kato Mitsukaze waited in the room for a while, focusing on sensing the movements of the two Rain Shinobi outside the door, one in the light and one in the dark.
There was no abnormality, no movement.
Kato Mitsukaze didn't waste time and came out of the hiding place, ignoring the young woman.
Taking out a short ninja sword from the ninja bag, he cut off the head of the mission target and sealed it in the seal scroll.
Then he simply dealt with the wound on the rich merchant's neck to ensure that the smell of blood will not spread out of the room in a short time and be noticed by the guards outside the door.
After dealing with the matter properly, Kato Mitsukaze checked again to make sure that he didn't leave any traces behind.
Following the original path, he returned along the pipeline, avoiding the traps, and left the place.
Kato Mitsukaze's body, after leaving the hiding place of the rich merchant, identified the direction and used the Wind Release Lightening Technique on himself.
A light wind blew, and Kato Mitsukaze's figure disappeared from the nearby streets.
The gloomy dark clouds in the night sky above his head appeared even darker at this time, and the moon that revealed a little bit of moonlight was completely covered.
The various materials of the pipes on the walls of the houses on the street were still dripping with the sound of rain.
It looked like it was going to rain again.
"Damn it, it's raining, it just cleared up."
A villager of the Land of Rain complained in the distance.
