Chapter 497 The Unexpected Uzumaki Clan
Since he was not familiar with the Grass Ninja Village, Kakashi first took his team members to visit various places in the main urban area of the Grass Ninja Village to facilitate planning of the route later.
Kakashi did not have the same idea as Mu Yue. First, it was difficult to find the ANBU base, and second, Kakashi felt that there was an easier way to find evidence.
In order to be more invisible, Kakashi asked Obito and the others to use transformation techniques to disguise themselves. Now they are all adult men from the Land of Grass that can be seen everywhere on the streets.
"Kakashi, are you okay? Why do you feel that we have wasted so much time but gained nothing." Obito questioned.
He felt like he was just wandering around, rather than on an infiltration investigation mission.
“Talk less and do more, I am the team leader.” Kakashi replied calmly without explaining.
In order for Obito to understand, he had to explain the cause and effect relationship in detail. Kakashi might be a little leisurely at ordinary times, but during the task he was too lazy to waste time like this.
Obito expressed his displeasure with angry eyes, but he really did not continue to speak.
Because Obito felt that if a quarrel really broke out, he, a member of the team, would definitely be unreasonable. When Nohara Lin spoke up for Kakashi, he would be heartbroken.
By this time, the grass ninjas were already red-faced and drunk.
The other grass ninjas all looked at the stubble grass ninja with contempt. Everyone is concerned about national affairs, why are you pulling your crotch now?
“Isn’t it always like this in these big countries?” The grass ninja next to him said with a sneer.
After discovering a group of grass ninjas drinking, Kakashi took Obito and the others to the table next to them and sat down.
"But the Kusanagi seems to have a lot of complaints against Iwagakure. Is there no cooperation between them?" Kakashi extracted a slightly useful piece of information from the many spam messages just now.
“It tastes weird, does it really taste good?” Obito sniffed the top of the wine glass curiously, and found that it was a little different from what he imagined.
That is to say, they can't be beaten. The difference in strength is too big, otherwise the grass ninja will definitely fight one of them.
Although you are doing a task, you cannot do anything illegal.
“There are wars happening everywhere now. In fact, they are the same everywhere. And wars are not without some benefits. Recently, a lot of new tea with good quality has arrived.” A grass ninja with a stubble said with a smile.
boom!
“Damn Konoha and Iwagakure, they don’t want to fight in their own country, they have to fight the war on our land.”
Obito nodded regretfully, he had an urge to try.
Contempt is still contempt, but if you have good tea, you still have to taste it.
“With its strong military strength, it has never taken small countries like us seriously.”
This was an S-level war mission after all, and Kakashi had already expected nothing to gain on the first day.
He had been observing the Kusanagi with his peripheral vision just now. Obito really couldn't imagine why a group of people were excitedly discussing drinking tea. Could it be that Kusunin Village was still a ninja village with a tea-drinking culture?
In Obito’s impression, good-tasting drinks don’t smell too bad. Correspondingly, most of the bad-smelling drinks don’t taste good either.
“You were really wasting your time just now. Those guys kept discussing tea and didn’t say anything useful.” Obito complained after walking to a place with fewer people.
“You just want to drink tea when you are tired.”
Usually, it is normal for a task of this level to take one or two months.
Kakashi ordered three bottles of sake and several plates of appetizers like an ordinary customer.
Since they border two major countries, the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire, the grass ninjas have been affected by the overt and covert struggles of these two major ninja villages. Therefore, most grass ninjas really have no good impressions of these two major ninja villages.
"I just went to have a drink after returning from the mission yesterday. I heard that there are a lot of new teas in each house. After all, the environment is not easy now. A lot of refugees have come recently," Hu Stubble Grass Ninja shared. own information.
The few people continued to explore the Grass Ninja Village, and gradually came to the place where the Grass Ninja Village dealt with refugees.
"Hey, Kakashi, do you really want to drink? This is forbidden." Obito couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
So drinking is very exciting for Obito, it is simply testing the edge of Konoha's law.
“Just pretend, don’t really drink.” Kakashi replied softly.
Kakashi shook his head slightly in his mind. It was impossible to make a correct judgment with such a little information.
Kakashi frowned, this was not the information he wanted.
Looking at Obito's clear and innocent eyes, Kakashi finally did not tell Obito the truth. It was good to be simple.
And as ninjas, it is not difficult for them to pretend to be drunk and deceive ordinary people and drunk ninjas.
Kakashi pretended to be in the suit and asked everyone to pour wine into the glasses to further disguise himself.
"Let's go take a look elsewhere." Kakashi was ready to explore outside the main city.
“You’re a very energetic guy. You’ve been so busy with tasks recently and you still have such thoughts.”
Although they who have graduated and become ninjas can receive the task of killing people after their genin protection period, drinking by minors is strictly prohibited in Konoha, and selling alcohol to minors is illegal.
Because many adult ninjas like to drink, Obito feels that wine may be a delicious drink, but some of its ingredients are harmful to minors, so minors are not allowed to drink.
Seeing that he could not get any useful information, Kakashi gave the team members a look and led them out of the tavern.
The Kusanagi drank the sake in the cup in one gulp, the blush on his cheeks deepened a little, and he slammed the glass on the table, accusing the two major ninja villages who were fighting a war on the territory of the Country of Grass.
"Which store has the new tea? Have you tried it?" the slightly drunk grass ninja asked in a low voice.
Kakashi gave Obito a roll of his eyes. It would be too suspicious to come to a tavern without ordering a drink.
Kakashi led the team into a tavern that looked quite lively. Kakashi scanned the entire tavern as if choosing a location, but in fact he was looking for any ninjas from Kusanagi Village in the tavern.
The Ninja Village will not fall out with each other because of a little dissatisfaction, and they usually cooperate when there is a profit.
Kakashi and the others saw a crowd gathering over there from a distance, and then a ninja wearing a grass ninja forehead protector shouted loudly to maintain order.
"If you want to have food, just register honestly. Write down what skills you have and what skills you have. Ninjas can register first. If you perform well, you can become a ninja in the Grass Ninja Village." The Grass Ninja shouted loudly to maintain order.
The Kusanagi Village itself is not very wealthy, so it is definitely impossible to support the war refugees for free. The useful ones can be kept to work, and the useless ones can be kicked out.
As for what will happen to the people who are kicked out in the future, that is none of their business. After all, some of these people are not even from the Country of Grass.
Kakashi fell into deep thought as he watched the seven grass ninjas controlling thousands of refugees.
Although there is no problem in controlling public order with the superhuman strength of ninjas, in terms of work efficiency, with so many people, it would take more than ten or twenty ninjas to be efficient.
"The mission is high in intensity, but there are few ninjas..." Kakashi vaguely caught a hint of inspiration.
Then Kakashi shook his head again. There was still too little known information to draw a conclusion. "Xiao Lin, look, there is a red-haired person there." Obito glanced around randomly, suddenly discovered a rare hair color, and quickly told Nohara Lin.
There are many hair colors of various colors in the ninja world. Among the people Obito has seen, black hair is the most common, while red hair is the least common. The only person Obito has seen with natural red hair is Kushina.
"Yeah, and the color is a bit similar to Kushina-sister's." Nohara Rin nodded and said.
Hearing this, Kakashi also set his sights on the red-haired figure Obito mentioned.
“Could he be a survivor of the Uzumaki clan?” Kakashi thought subconsciously.
Red hair is a major characteristic of the Uzumaki clan. If you have red hair and strong chakra, you are probably a member of the Uzumaki clan.
Kakashi quietly moved closer and opened the transparent world.
With the blessing of the transparent world, the body of the red-haired figure changed in Kakashi's eyes, and a large amount of chakra in his body was exposed to Kakashi's eyes.
Kakashi looked surprised.
The Uzumaki clan all have red hair. This does not mean that redheads are members of the Uzumaki clan. There are also ordinary people who are naturally born with red hair.
But coupled with powerful chakra, it is basically a stone hammer.
"Name, age, specialties, please tell me quickly. If you don't tell me, just stand on the left side." The registration grass ninja said with an impatient look.
Even if it is a job you like, you will get bored if you keep doing it, let alone repeating a certain step boringly. If it were not for the fact that this was a task issued by the leader of the grass ninja, the grass ninja would have already started fishing.
"Karin, twenty, can sewing be considered a specialty?" Uzumaki Karin asked carefully.
"Stand to the left." The registration grass ninja said in a commanding tone without answering Uzumaki Karin's question.
With only this ability, it is obviously impossible to make a living in today's Cao Ninja Village. He even thinks that Hua Ling has no strength to move bricks.
Upon seeing this, Karin Uzumaki had no choice but to stand in the queue on the left, feeling a little confused.
The team on the left will be driven out of the Grass Ninja Village. There have been several waves in front of them.
But there is no way to stay in the Grass Ninja Village, so where can she go? The war has made the Country of Grass chaotic and dangerous, and the Grass Ninja Village is already one of the safest and most prosperous places in the entire Country of Grass.
Another place that is equally safe and rich is the capital of the Country of Grass, but it is impossible to survive without money in that place. In a sense, it is more difficult to survive than the Kusanagi Village.
In fact, there is a way for Uzumaki Rei to be accepted by Kusakunin Village, because her greatest specialty is not sewing, but her special Uzumaki physique.
But Uzumaki Rei did not dare to expose it, because she knew that the entire ninja world now has deep malice towards the Uzumaki clan, and Uzumaki Rei never dared to say her last name outside.
Uzumaki Rei wants a stable and peaceful life. If she exposes her abilities, she will not be able to enjoy a peaceful and stable life. This contradiction makes Uzumaki Rei finally choose to hide it.
“Try your luck outside.” Uzumaki Karin sighed in her heart.
She has no great ideal in her heart to restore the Uzumaki clan. She just wants to live a stable life until old age and death. Even such a simple wish is a luxury in today's ninja world.
"Take them out." The leader Kusanagi saw that the team on the left had almost accumulated enough and ordered the Kusanagi next to him.
Kakashi began to retreat, preparing to separate his shadow clone and let the shadow clone follow.
Although this unknown Uzumaki clan has nothing to do with the current mission, the Uzumaki clan is the closest ally to Konoha after all. If the other party has difficulties, Kakashi is willing to help a little.
“Wait, what’s going on?” Tsutomu Yokokawa, who came to inspect, asked casually when he saw the crowd walking towards the entrance of the village.
He was worried that the people of Grass Flower would notice the flaws if his men were not doing things well, so he came to take a look.
"Chief, they are all people who cannot contribute to the village of Kusanagi. We are about to send them out of the village." Kusanagi explained with respect.
Yokokawa Tsutomu nodded, not feeling anything wrong.
“Hey, that red-haired man, stop.” Tsutomu Yokokawa, who was about to go back, showed an interested expression.
As the leader of the Grass Ninja, Tsutomu Yokokawa is not as knowledgeable as ordinary Grass Ninjas.
Uzumaki Karin's brain suddenly shut down when she heard Yokokawa Tsutomu's voice, and she realized that someone might have seen something.
However, as a person who has not practiced ninja training, she will definitely not be able to escape among several ninjas. Uzumaki Rei stopped honestly.
Feeling the envious and jealous eyes around her, Uzumaki Karin sighed in her heart, this was not a good thing.
Uzumaki Rei had no choice but to control her facial expressions and pray in her heart that no one would discover her identity.
Yokokawa Tsutomu walked up to Uzumaki Rei, condensed chakra and activated the secret method to sense the opponent's chakra.
His secret method of sensing has a short range and is of little use during combat. However, it can be used to detect chakra in normal times.
"You can stay." Sensing the chakra in Uzumaki Rei's body, Tsutomu Yokokawa smiled. He did not expect such an unexpected surprise.
With the characteristics of a member of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Rei was sacrificed to the Bliss Box, one of which can hold up to a hundred ordinary ninjas.
After saying that, Tsutomu Yokokawa gave Kusanagi a few words and left.
The next batch of corpses is coming soon, and he plans to dispose of Uzumaki Rei and the ninja corpses together.
Yokokawa Tsutomu's arrival disrupted Kakashi's plan. In order not to affect the mission, Kakashi did not act rashly.
He was going to report the information to Mu Yue and let Mu Yue decide whether to contact the survivor of the Uzumaki clan.
In the evening, the Kakashi team returned to the hotel after completing the day's investigation.
"We did nothing except walking around today. We must be the group that gained the least. Kakashi, you have to be responsible as the team leader." Obito tried to put the blame on Kakashi.
Kakashi glanced at Obito speechlessly, "If you talk less, others won't think that our team has not collected intelligence."
Every time he wanted to take a high look at Obito, Obito would speak.
“Okay, Teacher Muyue and the others seem to have returned. Let’s go there quickly.” Nohara Lin smiled helplessly and acted as peacemaker.
Seeing Nohara Rin speak, Obito no longer cared about Kakashi's taunts and followed him towards the room.
ˆ PS: Sorry, there may be less updates in the past few days because Xiaoju is adjusting her body.
I will definitely continue to post updates after my eyes recover. Some time ago, I even typed until four or five in the morning. Do you think I am the kind of person who doesn’t want to type?
Updates mean money to the author. The more you work, the more you get. Xiaoju is short of money and definitely wants to earn more, but his health really doesn’t allow it recently. Please forgive me, brothers.
