Naruto: All depends on Kyuubi C

The group of people traveling in the wind and sand were all wrapped in a not too thick layer of sand robes to block the wind and sand.

The visibility of the yellow sand sky is low. If the sand ninja Maki hadn't led the way, Naruto and the others would most likely get lost on the road.

"It's here, right in front!"

Sand Ninja, who was leading the way, suddenly had his eyes lit up and pointed at the village that appeared in the wind and sand ahead and shouted.

"This is the last village in the plan. If there is no whereabouts of Akatsuki here, they may have left the Kingdom of Wind."

"Is this the end? Are there so few villages or small towns in the Kingdom of Wind?"

Naruto stepped forward and squinted his eyes, seeing the outline of the building complex in front of him, and asked with some confusion.

Not to mention compared with Konoha Village, even the small villages around the Fire Country are larger than the village in front of me.

Like the villages I saw in the Kingdom of Wind before, they were all built under rock walls.

According to Juan's introduction, this can also effectively isolate the surrounding wind and sand, and there is a high probability of water underground.

"Well...after all, you have seen the environment of our country along the way. There are not many villages suitable for living, and they are not as good as your environment in Konoha."

Juan said a little embarrassed.

"It's better to go to the village first. The storms on the road these days are much bigger than before."

Terumi Mei said.

The group of people entered the village, because in the village under the rock and sand wall, the wind and sand could not blow in, and Naruto and the others could finally take off their tightly wrapped coats.

After that, they split up and spent several days investigating and questioning the village.

On the last day, after asking for information, they met in an inconspicuous tea shop.

"How's it going? Did you get anything over there?"

"Same as before, I have no news here, and everyone I asked said they had never seen them nearby."

Hinata said.

"...It's the same everywhere we go."

"Hey, I have been searching for more than a month in the Kingdom of Wind, but it is different from the time in the Kingdom of Water. There is almost no news about the Akatsuki organization, and there is no information about the person I am looking for. It is really not going well."

Naruto sighed, and then analyzed: "I think they probably got the news in advance. After all, the guy Kakashi-sensei dealt with escaped at that time, and they also knew that his companions would be interrogated and the news would come out."

"It is very likely that we have withdrawn from the Kingdom of Wind."

"It seems that this time it was all in vain."

Suna Ninja, who temporarily served as the team's guide, also sighed.

After all, when Master Kazekage assigned him this task, he still looked forward to finding the Akatsuki organization in his tone.

To let him down.

"Speaking of which, didn't your Kakashi-sensei say that he would come over?" As a mature adult, Terumi Mei, who was ordering tea and paying for the tea, said with a smile, "But we have already reached the last stop, and he also No news."

"After all, you are Kakashi-sensei, a late-comer."

Naruto complained.

Investigation-type tasks generally have a time limit. Just like this task, it lasts for half a year from the time Kakashi announced that he would be responsible for leading the team.

They spent close to more than three months in the Kingdom of Water, plus more than a month in the Kingdom of Wind and the time on the road, it was almost the same.

The Kingdom of Wind is located in a remote area, and the villages that can provide daily necessities are not far from each other. It is a stronghold relying on oasis.

In this case, based on the itinerary provided by Maki to Konoha and his party, basically if the target is active in the Country of Wind, it is difficult to miss the news.

After all, as long as you are not a monster and live in an environment like the Kingdom of Wind for a long time, you must have contact with the village if you want to obtain some living supplies.

Unless they can survive in an uninhabited place, such as the endless yellow sand desert.

If this is the case, then they can only rely on the local Sand Hidden Village to investigate on their own. Naruto and the others alone may not be able to search the entire Kingdom of Wind even if they are given five years.

"Then what do you say, everyone, it's rare to come to our country of wind. Why don't you treat it as a tourist to relax and walk around here these two days?"

Looking at the unhappy expressions of several people, Juan suggested.

[This girl is quite kind-hearted. 】

Mei Terumi glanced at Maki. She was sent by Sunagakure Village as a guide to Konoha ninjas and also as a monitor.

The actions of himself and others must be under her sight. According to the normal process, after Naruto and others confirm the results of the mission, Juan should send them back to the border.

However, Juan obviously also saw the blow to Naruto and the others if this operation failed, so he made this suggestion.

"That......"

Naruto was obviously moved.

"You are the captain and you decide."

Terumi Mei picked up the tea and took a sip, thinking that the environment in the Country of Wind was not good, but the water was quite delicious.

"I'll go out and look for it again, just don't forget that thing."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and warned.

"I've been there all along the way... don't worry, I won't forget it."

Naruto finished speaking to Sasuke seriously, then turned to look at Maki and Hinata with a smile: "Then let's go shopping around!"

Of course Hinata would not refuse Naruto, so under the leadership of Juan, Naruto and Hinata went out to visit the customs and customs of the Land of Wind.

Then Juan took Naruto and Hinata to a lively part of the village.

Unlike the villages they visited before, this place was bustling with people.

The businessmen wrapped in wind-sand coats stood in front of their carriages and camels with smiles on their faces, spreading their goods on the ground and waiting for customers to choose.

There are also several signs erected on the roadside, which probably contain information about various material transactions and prices.

Obviously there are many customers coming and going, so it is more concise and efficient to use text to explain.

"You're lucky. They should have caught up with the caravan coming here to bring goods. It's windy and sandy these days, so they stay here. Sometimes you can see a lot of new and interesting things!"

Juan's eyes lit up. As a native of the Kingdom of Wind, she had been looking forward to seeing foreign caravans in the village since she was a child. She could always see some weird and interesting things.

For the Kingdom of Wind, which is somewhat lacking in resources, merchants are also an important profession that converts domestic resources into foreign demand products, and the citizens also have a natural affinity for merchants.

After all, such a large open space in the center of the village was not used for nearby shops, but was instead used by passing merchants, which also illustrates this point.

Everyone gathered here in an orderly manner, some were buying and selling, some were chatting, and some were even playing the piano and singing.

"Wow, so many carriages and camels!"

Naruto's eyes sparkled, clearly interested.

Hinata was also held by Naruto's hand as she walked through various stalls and looked left and right. Occasionally she looked down at the hand that held her tightly, feeling very sweet in her heart.

Seeing this scene, Juan also smiled knowingly, and quietly walked to the stall nearby to patronize.

After all, if you are too unsighted, you will not be lovable.

Soon, Naruto was attracted by the objects displayed by a seemingly large business group.

This caravan even has a red-haired singer who sings on the side, holding a harp and humming softly:

"The light rising from the heights of Loulan,

O glorious sun,

Flowers are flying,

The light inherited on the spiral..."
