Sasuke and Naruto's secret love recorder
Chapter 43: Bird Country, Cursed Samurai
"The Land of Birds? It's a very remote country." Kakashi read the latest mission list with Xiaorou. "The monsters who transformed into white warriors are appearing everywhere to disturb people. Are they trying to eliminate ghosts?"
"I've already said we don't do this kind of commission. We've already rejected it once." Tsunade recalled with a gloomy face.
The man sat in front of them and begged them to help them no matter what, with a small amount of money in front of him. Tsunade looked at him helplessly.
We in the Bird Country are not very wealthy. This is already our maximum limit.
"It's not about the money, it's about the content of the commission." Tsunade held up a small stack of money. "This little money is not even enough to make a pair of straw sandals."
"I have already made up my mind. Otherwise, I would have no face to go back." The man took out a sharp knife and lifted his clothes. Under the horrified expressions of Tsunade and Shizune, he cut the bandage, revealing a small purse inside. The man poured out all the change. "These are some of the money I saved. It is my personal property. Please help us."
Tsunade was speechless and helpless
"That's what it is."
"Do you want to accept the mission?" Xiaorou poked her head out.
"Alas, but most of the upper chunins are on missions right now. I'm still wondering what to do." Tsunade said worriedly and locked her sights on Xiaorou.
"Kaka... Teacher Kakashi" Xiaorou tugged at the corner of Kakashi's clothes.
Kakashi spread his hands, this is none of his business
So this time, Neji was the captain, and he formed a team with Naruto, Naruto, and Xiaorou to set off for the Kingdom of Birds. The journey was long, and they hiked for many days, crossing mountains, forests, and cliffs. When they were about to reach the border of the Kingdom of Birds, they rested and listened to Chishima's story.
After the death of the previous daimyo, Osagi-sama, something happened. As the eldest son, Sagi-sama and the former strategist, Benname-sama, became the candidate heirs to the daimyo. Benname-sama opposed on the grounds that Sagi-sama was too young, and finally Sagi-sama became the daimyo, and the high monk, Monso-sama, became the daimyo (supervising the behavior of the daimyo). In less than half a year, his twin sister Toki suddenly died. Since then, Sagi-sama has changed, becoming indifferent and always staying in the mansion. Since then, a cursed samurai has appeared, and then rumors began to spread that Osagi-sama might have been assassinated. In the end, the rumor became that the cursed wizard was seeking revenge on the ghost of Osagi-sama.
"Humph, ghosts don't exist in the world." Ningci snorted coldly. "The one who benefited the most from the death of Da Lu was Meng Zong."
"Meng Zong-sama can be considered a knowledgeable and respected ninja," Chishima objected sharply.
"So Hongming is the only suspicious person?" Naruto said
"Maybe he was an assassination daimyo and wanted to become one himself but failed." Tiantian added
"That guy has been holding a grudge against Lord Sagi ever since he became the daimyo. Lord Hongming's words about spreading the curse on the samurai are easy to do."
"I also think there are no ghosts in this world, but these two are not the only ones who are suspicious." Xiaorou narrowed her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Neji asked
"He also said that since Lord Lu's temperament changed drastically and he stayed in the mansion all day, this kind of thing started happening. Lord Lu is also a suspect, and... Lord Lu is the eldest son of Lord Da Lu, right? He took advantage of this chaos to eliminate some enemies who were against him and deliberately led them. He has motives and suspicions. It's easy for him to spread rumors." Xiao Rou held up her chin, "and..."
"Impossible! How could Lord Lu do such a thing? Isn't this just shaking his own foundation? It will do him no good at all." Qiandao stood up and yelled, "How could Lord Lu do this?"
"Well, these are just guesses. So the most suspicious person now is Lord Hongming?" Naruto advised Chishima.
After they finished their midnight snack, they set out again. Ningci walked behind and pulled Xiaorou to his side. “What did you want to say just now?”
"He said it, right? Lord Lu's twin sister. Since they are twins, do they look alike or the same? Considering the big change in their temperaments before," Xiaorou slowed down her pace and said with a little distance from the two people in front.
"You mean, the one who died is not necessarily Toki but..." Ningji frowned, thinking carefully about what Chishima said, there is no lack of this possibility. Ningji walked forward and asked Chishima on Naruto's back, "I have a question, have you seen Heron-sama's sister? Do Heron-sama and Toki-sama look very similar?"
"Yes, they are twins and it is usually difficult to tell them apart, but Lord Toki does not often appear in diplomatic occasions," Chishima recalled.
They met. Ningci and Xiaorou looked at each other and wrote down this important information. They continued to walk towards the village. There was a mansion in front of them, and a suit of armor was floating in the sky.
The four of them chased after him and came to a dilapidated temple. Ningci and Xiaorou opened their Byakugan and there was no sign of any living person.
"There is no human presence here, at least no living person's presence." Neji was a little suspicious. Could it really be a ghost?
"Why do you need to add more sentences at the end?" Naruto swallowed his saliva
"Hush, there's a sound." Tiantian said, and the temple door in front began to slowly open, and the cursed warrior who was being teleported appeared in front of them.
"I want to see what it is." Xiaorou walked forward. Under Bai Yan's eyes, there was a ball of energy inside. Xiaorou didn't move, and the armor didn't move either. With a side kick, the head of the armor was kicked off. White light came out from inside, but there was still no movement. Xiaorou punched the connection of the armor directly, and the armor fell to the ground with a bang.
Several people gathered around and looked at the empty interior of the armor.
"It can't be a ghost..." Naruto was a little nervous
"What do you mean?" Ningci looked at Xiaorou who was lost in thought.
"What a waste of effort!" Xiaorou held a part of the armor in her hand. "Since he escaped and appeared in front of us again, and allowed us to attack him without fighting back, it is reasonable to suspect that he deliberately let us see a moving empty armor and think that there is a ghost."
"What if it's really a ghost?" Tiantian asked back after hearing this.
"If people can turn into ghosts to take revenge after they die, then the world would be in chaos. What's the point of calling it a ninja village? Just call it the ghost world. As long as there is a war, there will be innocent sacrifices. If people can turn into ghosts to take revenge, humans would have been extinct long ago." Xiaorou sneered.
…………
"Is this really Meng Zong's home?" Naruto looked at the somewhat simple mansion.
"I thought I lived in a magnificent and luxurious house"
"You guys are talking too loudly." Ningji said, looking at the two of them and asked, "Where's Xiaorou? Where did she go?"
"Xiaorou said she was walking around," Tiantian whispered
"I hope there won't be any trouble." Ningci sighed. They are all troublesome.
Xiaorou hid in a high place and carefully observed the guards around her. She listened to the guards' conversations and observed everyone's words and actions. Finally, she locked onto a target who was not talkative and did not socialize with others very much. She carefully observed the blind spots of the position and knocked the other person out directly in a relatively small position.
"Transformation Technique" Xiaorou formed a seal and transformed into the appearance of a guard. She found an empty forest and tied him to a tree trunk. She pressed his acupuncture points so that he could not move even if he woke up. "I'm sorry, I will remember you."
Returning along the same route, this person is now called Zhong, serving as the patrol guard of the Omotsuke. Because he is not talkative and is not familiar with others, he is favored by the Omotsuke Mengzong.
"Brother Zhong, where have you been so late?" a man who was also wearing a guard uniform asked.
"Go to the toilet," Xiaorou said without any emotion, "Is there anything unusual in Lord Meng's mansion?"
"No, everything is normal," my wife yawned. "Oh, it's troublesome that I'm on duty today."
"Yeah." Xiaorou nodded and walked towards a location.
"Brother Zhong, aren't you in charge of the side patrol today?" The guard frowned.
"Well, I'll go check the area I'm responsible for this afternoon." Xiaorou didn't stop and continued walking.
"Responsible indeed!" exclaimed the guard. No wonder he was favored by the great master.
At midnight, Xiaorou keenly sensed that someone had entered the mansion. She lowered her hat brim and quietly opened her eyes. It was a ninja, Xiaorou thought secretly. She looked at the direction they were going, which was the main courtyard of the mansion. She quietly hid in the bushes and made a seal. Hinata appeared in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Hinata was originally playing in the Hidden Mist Village. He was suddenly summoned and could only look at Xiaorou, who was disguised as a guard, and asked in a low voice.
"I'm doing a mission. Go and eavesdrop on the ninjas in front of you. After you finish listening, just cancel it yourself and I'll absorb your memory." Xiaorou pointed in the direction of the people inside.
"What? You want me to be the first to speak out again?" Hinata muttered but still followed.
"How is the situation?" Meng Zong asked while sitting in the main seat.
"Hongming has been arrested," someone replied, "There is no chance for him to turn things around this time."
"Well done, next is that kid's turn." Meng Zong sneered, "Okay, step back and keep an eye on him."
Hinata stared at the room with his eyes wide open. Several ninjas on the roof were hanging upside down to report to Meng Zong and had their clones removed.
"Huh, so that's how it is." Xiaorou looked at the memory transmitted back.
The next morning, Xiaorou passed by Ningci and the others when they left.
The few of them returned to the house where they were staying temporarily, and Ningci unfolded the note in his hand.
The word Meng is circled and an arrow points to the name, an exclamation mark is drawn after the name, and an eye is drawn next to the word Temple.
"What does this mean?" Naruto looked at the note that Neji took out.
"The guard who passed by us today should be Xiaorou," Neji said holding the note, "It probably means that there is something wrong with Meng Zong, and the target is likely to be the daimyo. There should be relevant clues in the temple where the samurai appeared last night."
"No way, Xiaorou has infiltrated the enemy without our knowledge?" Tiantian was surprised. No wonder she hadn't been seen in the past few days.
"Okay! Then I'll go investigate the temple." Naruto excitedly rushed out of the house and met Chishima who had just arrived and asked Naruto where he was going. "Of course, to investigate the truth."
...............
It was the smell of blood. Xiaorou walked to where the guards were tied up, thinking to herself, "Oh no, they were not killed." She quickly stepped forward and saw Qiandao covering his wounds. "It was Meng Zong who betrayed Lord Lu. Go and tell Lord Lu to save Lord Hongming."
"You go find Lord Lu," Xiaorou treated Qiandao's wound, "I'll keep an eye on Meng Zong, the Cursed Knight of Vengeance, right? That person will definitely go find Meng Zong, I just need to wait and see."
"Please," Qiandao bowed to Xiaorou
"Damn it! Lord Heron is the Cursed Samurai!" Ningci and his companions supported each other as they walked out of the secret passage, somewhat worried.
"Xiaorou actually guessed it" Tiantian was a little surprised
"What's going on?" Kaka asked, leaning against the door of the ruined temple.
"That guy Heron gave us a blast," Naruto said angrily, "and now I don't know where he has gone. It's really despicable."
"Don't blame the inner master. Maybe the inner master is both that master and not that master." Hongming was a little sad. "He is obsessed with revenge for his father and sister. This may be the soul of the deceased daimyo Dairu."
"Maybe Lord Lu went to find Meng Zong. Meng Zong has ninjas under his command, and I was injured by those ninjas." Qiandao recounted what happened when he met Xiao Rou.
"Maybe... Lord Heron is really not Lord Heron." Ningji suddenly remembered the last sentence Xiaorou added, "Oh no, Xiaorou is in danger, talk as you walk."
Kakashi walked ahead to Meng Zong's mansion and listened to Neji's narration, "So, the current daimyo may be her sister Toki, and the one who really died is Sagi-sama?"
Can you grasp the key points of a conversation and roughly guess the truth based on just a few sentences?
As expected... Xiaorou stood on the roof, watching Meng Zong spit out a fireball from his mouth to knock Lu down. Lu threw away the burning mask and stabbed Meng Zong with a spear, but Meng Zong just jumped lightly and stood on the tip of the spear.
