Fortunately, there was no mention of the danger halfway through this mission, and Mizuki was by his side. Neither Yum Shino, Inuzuka Ya or Hinata were too alert and did not notice much of the tracking behind him. Of course, this was also the result of Tenzo and Uchiha Sasuke's excellent strength and excellent concealment ability.

Mizuki actually doesn't care much about these two helpers sent by Tsunade. Tianzang is fine, is Uchiha Sasuke also considered a helper? Well, Chidori's power is still good. He can even kill people by drawing his sword. Maybe he can help, but if he really fights with a strong man of Orochimaru, Mizuki doesn't ask him to help, as long as he can protect himself, it's good.

If you think so, isn't this a bit strange? In fact, it's not unreasonable. Shuimu probably is probably the two of them who are carrying other secret tasks, and helping them may be just a cover.

Mizuki didn't ask too much about Anbu's affairs, nor did he want to care too much. As long as he didn't cause trouble for himself, he would just bring them back safely in the end.

Everyone has their own plans, and Mizuki can understand it. As long as you can successfully obtain the Yaqi technique, it doesn’t matter if you are treated as a cover. As a Konoha Ninja, just follow your orders.

Inuzuka Ya, who hasn't traveled far for a long time, is very happy. It's quite easy to walk on the road to the Wind Country. This season is the most comfortable time. After a while, it may become a little hot.

In early summer of May, this is still a relatively easy task. It does feel good when you are in the territory of Fire. However, after the Kamiktoki Mountain City crossing the border, the climate suddenly changed drastically, and the humidity in the air dropped sharply. The country named after the wind is indeed very different from the rich Fire Country.

The trees and vegetation are extremely sparse, and most places are endless seas of sand. Occasionally, you can see a few yellow thorny vine bushes. In this kind of place, the most are cactus with extremely strong drought tolerance, which is decorated with a little green color in this yellow sand country.

"Teacher Shuimu, does this place really have a country? The Wind Kingdom, one of the five major countries, lives in such a ghost place?"

Akamaru was still young, and his short legs could not walk in the sand dunes at all. After stepping on one foot, half of his legs disappeared. When he touched the softer pile of sand, he couldn't even pull out his feet. Finally, he had to lie on Inuzukaya's shoulder to rest.

"Yes! There are oasis in the desert. This kind of place is like a place that has accumulated the essence within a radius of hundreds of miles, and is also quite prosperous. In addition, there are also many specialties in the desert..."

"I know this," Inuzuka Ya rushed to say, "The Sand Kin of the Wind Kingdom is very famous!"

Shuimu nodded.

"This is just one aspect. In this sea of ​​sand, there are many valuable animals and plants, many of which have hallucinogenic effects and even highly toxic. This is also the source of Sand Hidden Village's expertise in making poisons and its raw materials."

"Poison? What kind of puppet master?"

"It's almost the same, of course there are some valuable things, such as this one..."

As he said that, Shuimu stepped forward with his right foot, and a pile of sand was rolling around. A huge figure appeared in front of everyone in the flying dust.

"Wow, what a big scorpion."

If you hide under the sand and do it hard, you can't bear it.

"Shino, are you interested in this big bug?"

The oily girl Shino shook her head,

“Too big.”

Since this insect-fighter didn't want it, Shuimu took it for granted. This kind of thing that was basically of no value except for a little strength and toxicity, Shuimu was simply easy to capture.

On the next road, the desert wolf spider and several desert giant ants encountered by the team were all taken away by Shuimu.

"It's a great harvest. I didn't expect there were so many big guys in the desert of the Wind Country."

For a ninja who is good at studying biology, some strange biological samples have not been collected, and it seems to be unqualified.

"Some things that are not suitable for human use, it seems that you can try them on these large wild animals."

After making up his mind, Shuimu would try it if he had free time, and simply summoned the psychic beast giant bear Bo Taijun.

"Come on, there is still a long way to save some energy."

This guy didn't know what good things he had eaten recently, and his body became bigger and bigger. In addition to eating all the organic waste, insect corpses, and failed cultivation products from the clones when they were experimenting, Shuimu didn't know what made this guy grow sharply. Not only did he say that his strength increased, he seemed to have become smarter than ordinary bears.

But, the giant bear is not a creature suitable for moving in the desert after all. After walking for a long time, it was so tired that it was too late, and then Shuimu was replaced by a scorpion.

"This big bug seems to be much more comfortable sitting than a giant bear, which is really unexpected."

"The bear has only four legs, the scorpion has eight legs, and two pliers, and a total of ten legs are of course much smoother."

The adaptability of the environment is also far different, which is incomparable.

Although the climate in Wind Country is very uncomfortable, fortunately, it has not encountered harsh sandstorms. If you really encounter such trouble, you will not be able to act at all. You can only stop and dig a sand pit to hide.

It is still unbearable during the day. At night, the breeze mixed with fine sand blows on the skin, making people feel a little cool.

The temperature difference between day and night was too large. When the temperature was suitable and the weather was good, the eighth group and the group stopped after rushing for a while.

In the attention of the three students, Shuimu dug a large basement with soil, and then burned violently with powerful fire, melting the surrounding sand and gravel into crystal-like things.

"Get in, rest in it tonight."

"Ninjutsu is really convenient, but unfortunately, there is no one in our class who is good at Teacher Shui!"

Mizuki glanced at the envious Inuzukaya,

"It's okay to learn, but the homework is very difficult. I won't allow me to give up halfway. If you want to try to learn escape skills, you can come to me at any time!"

It seems that I am not strict enough and my majesty is not strong enough!

Just as the eighth squad was resting in the temporary underground room, Sasuke was also envious of Tenzo's wooden escape in the small house built by wood.

"The power of wood escape, I didn't expect that there was such a hidden thing in the village. The first generation's unique skills did not look as unique as the rumors. They were still too naive before."

Only after being promoted to Zhongnin and joining the Anbu, all kinds of worlds that were never known before gradually revealed their true appearance in front of them.

...

Early the next morning, Shuimu led the eighth squad to start rushing early. Before the weather got hot, you could take a few more steps. What surprised Shuimu was that in the early morning, some cold-blooded animals, such as desert venomous snakes, poisonous lizards, etc., were lying on the sand to bask in the sun. Because their body temperature was not high enough, their movement ability was very weak, and they had no ability to resist at all, and they were picked and picked by Shuimu to get a lot of them.

"Teacher Shuimu, what's the use of collecting these things?"

"I don't know either!"

Mizuki shrugged and replied,

"Maybe it will be useful in the future, and maybe it will come in handy at any time. Even if it is useless, it will be good to eat it after roasting. For example, the kind of wolf spider, do you know, it tastes good when roasting it."

"Hey, these are all edible?"

"How is your outdoor survival course qualified? As long as you live, there is nothing you can't eat. It depends on whether you dare to eat!"

"But, Teacher Shuimu, isn't it better to use military food pills?"

"Well?"

As expected, these children from rich families couldn't tell the same thing as Shuimu, and they didn't know what thrift is...

While Shuimu and his students were chatting while moving forward, suddenly, several chakras in front of him reacted into Shuimu's perception range.

"Stop!"

Mizuki waved his hand and waited for the ninja in front to approach.

"Don't be nervous, it's not an enemy!"

A moment later, a Sakumi Kanin came with a few subordinates. The leader was Maki, who was familiar to Mizuki. The female ninja with a huge folding fan on her back was Temari. As for the others, Mizuki didn't recognize her. Judging from the chakra's reaction, her strength could barely reach the level of the Chunin.

"Mizuki Shangren, long time no see!"

"It's been nearly half a year, Maji Shangren. It's a bit strange if you didn't lead the Zhongren exam a few months ago?"

Ma Ji raised his eyebrows and exposed his shortcomings when they met. His mind was too bad. Who doesn’t know that the struggle for power and profit within the Sand Village? Fu Yi and Ma Ji thought about it. They each had a group of supporters fighting for it. There were other stubborn members with their own opinions and made trouble. This is the reason why the Sand Village couldn’t choose Fengying for the first time.

"I am not the only one who can lead the team in Sakai Village. Fu Yishen Ninja is also a powerful and respected senior. It is not wrong to represent Sakai Village."

"Is that true?"

Shuimu just casually said that the destruction of the Sand Village was too lazy to care about a ninja from outside the village.

"Dear guests from afar, please follow us to Sahien Village. The village has been waiting for a long time."

"It's a labor!"

These literary words are really tiring. I would have known that I would have applied for a civilian assistance from Tsunade. Mizuki, who is a native of a rustic hat, is really not familiar with the things in these scenes.

Half a day later, under the leadership of Maji and his group, Shuimu and his three students finally arrived at the destination Sand Village.

...

That night, Shuimu met a group of bureaucratic ninjas from the Senate Council, which temporarily replaced Fengying's power in the Sakai Village. After meeting Shuimu on a formal exchange occasion, some of these people were curious, some flattering, some disliked, and even some unknown guys wanted to try their strength.

Well, the weaker the person is, the more he can't recognize his correct position. The original strength of the Sand Hidden Village, the elite ninja policy has created a series of powerful people who are terrified. Now it seems that except for Maki and others, there are all a bunch of wine bags. No wonder Deidar rushed into the village alone and captured Gaara, a person from the five major ninja villages. He has never seen other ninja villages as so embarrassing.

Mizuki obviously didn't want to waste time with these guys. Chiyo and Hae Laozang didn't show up. The person who really had the final say was not there, and it was not worth wasting saliva with these guys. During this period, when Maki and Fu Yi came forward, Mizuki exchanged a few greetings with these two acquaintances.

After exchanging the formal documents, Shuimu refused the invitation from all parties on the grounds that he had to rest on the journey.

That night, in the room prepared for Mizuki in the Sand Village, Tenzo, Sasuke and Mizuki were discussing the details of the next task. A huge map was spread out and placed on the table in front of him. In Mizuki's eyes, of course, it was a bit funny, but at least most of the information was expressed in full.

"Can you be sure Orochimaru hasn't left yet?"

Tianzang replied in a deep voice: "This kind of thing is definitely not confirmed, but it is very likely that it will still be there!"

"I'm really confused and confident. Where is the general scope?"

Tianzang walked closer and drew a rough range on the map.

"Our allies are more familiar with the terrain here than we do, and the intelligence is much more reliable than we do!"

"That means, is it entirely up to Sand Hidden Village to help us find Orochimaru's location?"

"There is no way to do this. Now we can only trust them. After all, they are allies, so I guess they won't deceive us in such matters."

"That's right!"

Orochimaru not only ruined the Satsumaru, but also directly killed the fourth generation of the four generations of Fengying Rasa and pretended to be him to issue orders to the Satsumaru. This humiliation made the Satsumaru hate Orochimaru to the core. He was unable to solve this enemy, and he could also expect to get rid of Orochimaru with the help of his ally Konoha Village.

"Starting tomorrow afternoon, I will find an opportunity to check the nearby terrain myself. No matter what, I can't rely entirely on others!"
