Bai Yun Chapter 7: The mastermind behind the beast’s rampage

In the endless quest, Konoha 51 has arrived.

Anbu's current task is really heavy. Duanmu only stayed home for half a day on the New Year's Day, played with Lihuo for a while, and then ran to the next task non-stop.

The new assignments are especially important.

In the consultant's office on the second floor of the Naruto Building, ninjas from the fifth team of Anbu and above are waiting for the arrangement of the consultant Mito Gate.

This office is smaller than Naruto's office, and it seems very crowded at this time.

Mito Kazuya frowned and said:

"We Konoha have been seeking to sign a truce with Iwagakura, but have been unsuccessful."

"Yesterday, Iwain Village suddenly sent a message saying that it is willing to sign a peace agreement with us again."

Consultant Mito Menyan thought for a while:

"Although we are extremely hopeful for a formal truce with Yanyin Village, I still can't figure out why Yanyin Village's attitude has made a 180-degree turn."

"Since they have extended a peaceful hand, we have no reason to refuse."

"This time, I will take you to Yanyin Village. While signing the agreement, you need to investigate clearly why Yanyin's attitude changed."

The captain of the Fifth Battalion nodded yes.

Now there are only two full-scale squadrons in the fifth squadron, and Duanmu is the captain of the first squadron of the second squadron.

In the case of all the elites of Anbu, the speed of the journey is very fast, and soon reached the border of the country of fire, and quickly crossed the country of grass.

After passing through the turbid river between the land of soil and the land of grass, we came to the Loess Plateau of the land of soil.

Here Duanmu is somewhat familiar, and further north is the Flaming Mountain where the Yagasaki bird lives, and there are craters everywhere.

After five days of trekking deep and shallow on the Loess Plateau, I came to Yanyin Village.

Two mountains and a river, Yanyin Village is located in the valley between the mountains.

The river in the village is not wide, but like other rivers in the land of the land, it is turbid and yellowish.

Along the banks of the river, there are villages built on the hills. The building goes up along the big steps like terraces, and the higher it gets, the more imposing it becomes.

The captain and assistant advisor accompanied Mito Kazuma to one meeting after another.

Two squadron leaders with their respective squads guard the perimeter.

Among them, the first squadron is the main force of the escort, and the second squadron has other tasks.

The people of the first squadron separated the shadow clone, and then changed the shadow clone into the appearance of the second squadron. In this way, the Second Squadron was completely liberated.

Intelligence gathering is not suitable for multi-person operations, so the people of the 2nd Squadron are separated.

Duanmu pretends to be an ordinary traveler and walks the streets of Yanyin Village.

In each Ninja village, many people from outside the village come to commission tasks every day, and often they have to wait in the village for the completion of the task. Therefore, as long as they sneak into the village, it is difficult to identify them when there are so many outsiders.

Duanmu was walking aimlessly on the streets of Yanyin Village, not knowing where to start his investigation.

With nothing to do, Duanmu walked to a bookstore.

"Old man, give me a map of Yanyin Village! I just came to Yanyin Village to entrust a mission, and now I can't find my way. This Yanyin Village is too big, bigger than ours. Well, I have never seen such a big village, and the capital of the land of the land is just like this!"

The owner of the bookstore looks like a young foreigner who has never seen the world. He tells Duanmu about the prosperity of Yanyin Village very enthusiastically. At the same time, with the most sincere smile, he shows fourteen white teeth and sells it to Duanmu A map at five times the usual price.

Oh, profiteer...

Duanmu held the map, just like an ordinary traveler, watching the different architectural styles in Yanyin Village.

The same is true of Yanyin Village and Konoha. The land is limited, and the terrain is uneven. It has been going uphill and downhill, making the layout of the buildings more crowded.

Duanmu had been walking aimlessly until his vision suddenly opened up somewhere.

There are no more buildings here, just a wall made of wooden planks, blocking the view.

On the wall, the words 'under construction' are written.

Simply comparing the map, it was once a dense and prosperous residential area, but now it has been razed to the ground.

Homelessness evokes deep fears that demolition is difficult anywhere. Either resort to violent demolition, or pay huge compensation.

The third Ninja World War just ended, and Yanyin Village also had wars with Konoha Village, Yunyin Village, and Sandyin Village. Duanmu didn't quite believe that Yanyin Village had the energy to carry out large-scale construction at this time. .

You know, now that Konoha Village wants to expand the ninja school, it is crowded and crowded to squeeze out a little bit of resources.

Silently marked the location on the map, and Duanmu was about to leave first.

At night, Duanmu came here again.

Gently flipping through the wall, Duanmu saw a flat land that made him feel very discordant.

As the Loess Plateau with no three feet of flat land, it is very strange that a flat land like the main venue of the Chunin Exam suddenly appeared.

At the same time, the tactile sensation from under his feet let Duanmu know that this was the floating soil on the back.

Gently scrape away the floating soil with your feet, and there is hard ground below.

After a careful identification, there are traces of stone ramming on the hard ground.

Duanmu took out the kunai and continued to dig down. The ninja's arm strength made this kind of work easy.

Ultimately, Duanmu found that the ground here is backfill soil compacted in layers...

Backfill? Unless there was a big hole here before, backfilling is not required at all.

But the map clearly shows that it used to be a residential area.

In other words, it is very likely that a battle broke out here, and the destruction of the battle caused a big pit in the main venue of the Chunin Exam.

What kind of battle could cause such a loss in Iwahidden Village?

Duanmu carefully restored the planed pit to its original shape.

Finally, Duanmu began to inspect the surrounding houses one by one along the flat land.

Although these houses have been renovated, Duanmu can still see that there are cracks in the walls of some houses.

These repairs were perfunctory and hasty, only the cracks were plastered, and the color of the newly plastered place and other walls was obviously different due to the time difference.

There are various indications that there was a big battle in Yanyin Village. The battle was very brief, but the damage was very large. The large area of ​​the main venue of the Chunin Exam turned into fly ash, leaving only a deep pit.

Also, this battle happened very recently, and the tourist map to Yanyin Village has not been changed.

The harvested Duanmu was in a good mood. He found a pub, drank wine and ate side dishes, thinking about how to conduct the next investigation.

Those teammates of his might still be working towards Yanyin's high-level officials and the confidential archives room.

The pub is the time when people are most relaxed. The wine is strong and cowardly, and what they usually dare not say, they dare to say it at this time.

"Why are we so miserable..."

"The village has been established for decades, and it has not encountered the runaway of Crazy Horse..."

"Shh! The village won't let you say..."

"The war is coming to an end, I didn't expect to be scourged by Crazy Horse..."

"I told you to stop talking..."

"No other Shinobi village has done so much damage to our village, how can Crazy Horse do this..."

Duanmu heard a key word - Crazy Horse?

What is Crazy Horse? What kind of crazy horse can cause unspeakable damage to Yanyin Village?

An idea was formed in Duanmu's mind. Ordinary horses can't have much destructive power. There is only one horse with powerful destructive power in the ninja world, and that is King Mu with five tails!

A tailed beast that looks like a white horse!

So, can it be inferred that the five tails caused the big pit in Yanyin Village that Duanmu is investigating?

In the middle of the night, Duanmu went to the consultant Mito Menyan and the captain, and reported the day's investigation to them.

"Lord Mito Gate Yan, I suggest that our investigation direction should be adjusted to the information related to Iwahide Village's renzhuli."

Mito Menyan was a little puzzled: "Oh? Why?"

Afterwards, Duanmu reported to his two superiors about the big pit in Yanyin Village that he had investigated during the day. Among them, the information related to the 'Crazy Horse' heard in the tavern did not fall.

He is only responsible for reporting the information he has obtained. How to analyze and how to deal with it is not something he can decide as a team leader.

Mito Kazuo thought for a while and said, "Your information is very valuable. Perhaps, Iwagakura Village had to seek peace because of a problem with the power of the people and pillars, resulting in a great loss of strength. If so , then the conditions of our Konoha can be more harsh, and Kiriyin Village has to agree."

Consultant Mito Kazumo turned to the captain and said:

"Arrange and adjust the direction of the investigation to the person Zhuli of Yanyin Village. The four-tail person Zhuli Laozi has publicly defected from Yanyin Village, mainly focusing on the five-tail person Zhulihan."

The captain took the lead and began to mobilize all his brigade.

After various disguises, personnel replacements, and contact with spies, the Fifth Brigade is dispatched!

Outside Yanyin Village, in an ordinary mountain pass, Zhuli Khan, a five-tailed man, was struggling to suppress the seal.

A month ago, he was walking in the village, enjoying the peace after the war.

In the downtown area, a vortex-like distortion appeared in the space in front of him.

A man with a one-eyed mask appeared from the vortex, and just by looking at him, the five-tailed King Mu in his body began to roar wildly.

The seal the village had placed on him began to shatter, leaving him in agony.

In another silent night, the masked man reappeared, this time, it was a cataclysmic tail beast runaway...

Fortunately, the third generation of Metokage was so powerful that he forcibly suppressed the rampage of the five tails.

However, the aftermath of the battle also created a huge pit in the village.

I haven't done it before, the ninjutsu of the three generations of Metokage is so domineering, not only was the five tails directly suppressed, but all the surrounding buildings were also turned into dust.

The villagers in that block also turned into dust. This makes Han wake up with nightmares every day. It seems that the countless dust floating around are the villagers who turned into fly ashes...

Since then, there have been rumors in the village that can't be suppressed no matter what, and the terrifying tailed beasts are being told everywhere.

As a last resort, he applied to Sandaimu and went out of the village to hide for a while.

Suddenly, Han sees someone approaching!

Is that the masked man again? A tyranny can't be suppressed in my heart at all!

The members of Konoha's 5th Brigade, before they could see the five-tailed man Zhuli, found that the red and unknown chakra erupted into the sky in the front of the mountain.

Such an unstable human column force is already on the verge of running out!

The captain froze in his heart, what the captain said was right!

"Withdraw!"

Without any hesitation, the brigade leader wanted information, not a battle with the runaway tailed beast.

And, with this person, there is no possibility of victory.

However, it's too late...

Half-tailed beast, a man in a red chakra coat stomps on all fours and rises into the sky!

The horse-shaped appearance fully demonstrates what a crazy horse is, a crazy horse with four corners on its head!

Duanmu turned and ran away without waiting for the commander's order, taking Tejiu and Zhishui to the distance.

Miyake-sensei once said that if you encounter a situation of certain death, you can run away before the order, and you can't miss the only chance to survive.

No one will hold you accountable afterwards, because those who run slowly are already dead.

Anbu Fifth Squadron suffered heavy losses. Duanmu's Second Squadron was crippled again. Except for Duanmu Squadron, the other two squadrons and Squadron Leader Rang died on the plateau of the Land of Earth.

Although Anbu has paid a heavy loss, he has confirmed a piece of information for Mitomon Yan consultant: Iwagakura's renzhuli is now on the verge of running out and can't take care of himself!

Konoha signed an armistice agreement with Iwayin Village on relatively favorable terms.

After this agreement is sent to the daimyo of the land of fire and the land of earth, it will have a stronger binding force. The daimyo who have lost a lot in the war will ensure that the two countries will not start the war again for the time being.

On the way back to Konoha, Mito Gate Yan looked at the tragic situation of the Anbu Fifth Brigade and felt a little sad.

When will the Konoha ninja stop sacrificing.

During a break, Mito was due to:

"The Second Squadron has been crippled, let the First Squad Leader Kong be promoted to Squadron Leader."

Duanmu hurriedly thanked him: "I just entered Anbu soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it!"

Mito Menyan said in a relaxed tone: "Sora, you remind me of your master, equally astute and equally reliable."

Duanmu knew that the consultant Mito Gate Yan must have seen his file, knew who he was, and remembered his teacher Miyake.

Mito Gate Yan knew that Duanmu was from the fourth generation, and continued: "I will write a recommendation report for the fourth generation when I go back. The two of us jointly recommend you, and your official appointment will be down soon."

Duanmu hurriedly thanked him.

After returning to the village, Duanmu came to the backyard of Shidaimu's house again in the middle of the night, and reported the trip to Yanyin Village to Shidaimu.

For such a major event related to the peace agreement between the two villages, the fourth generation must understand every detail.

If the diplomatic advisor was the fourth generation, there would be no such unnecessary worries, but unfortunately the fourth generation does not have that kind of strength.

In addition to the information related to the agreement, Duanmu finally found the opportunity to express his worries to the fourth generation:

"Lord Shidaimu, I checked the information collected by Anbu recently. I suspect that there is a force that is planning to create fear in the villages of the tailed orcs."

"The first tail of Sandyin Village, the fourth and fifth tails of Yanyin Village, and the eight tails of Yunyin Village have all been rumored to run wild recently."

Duanmu guessed that the ultimate goal of Xiao's organization is to collect tailed beasts, and it is too difficult to capture the strict tailed beasts that are protected by the villages.

This is the reason why the tailed beast keeps running wild. This is a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster. It is a man-made disaster created by the Xiao organization.

"Lord 4th generation, one accident is an accident, and several accidents are inevitable. There is a force in the ninja world that is attacking the people of each village, and it has to be guarded against."

"I suggest that we need to greatly improve the guard power of the people of Konoha Village!"

The fourth generation nodded and agreed with Duanmu's suggestion.

When Duanmu returned home, he sighed inwardly, he did everything he could. Tell the information of the fourth generation of Obito, reminding the nine-tailed person that Zhuri has been targeted by a mysterious force.

I hope that the fourth generation can survive this crisis with their destiny.
