The Land of Water is an island nation surrounded by seawater on all sides, but it has a special topography with many mountains.
In addition, the large and small islands surrounding the main island also have various different customs, and there are not a few islanders who live according to the customs.
And the Hidden Mist Village is located in the deep mountains of the island, and its territory is covered by thick fog all year round. It is a ninja village completely isolated from other countries.
When Shinji and his group stepped on this land, their first impression was dirtiness, chaos, and lifelessness.
Before they had walked even a hundred meters, five or six pairs of malicious eyes were staring at them, but in the end, they didn't act, seemingly out of fear of the weapons they were carrying.
Logically speaking, the Land of Water at this time should have already ended the turmoil of the 'Bloody Mist Village' and entered a period of recuperation.
But the arrival of the Cursed Spirit chaos instantly broke the country's rare peace and dragged it into the quagmire again.
Order and rules were being severely tested.
"What are you looking at? Do you want to die?!"
Hidan was very unhappy. He was the one who treated others as prey and sacrifices, when was it the turn of these trash fish to dare covet him.
"Senior Hidan is mighty, Senior Hidan is domineering! Did you scum hear that, if you dare move your eyeballs again, we'll kill you all!"
Tobi didn't know what his purpose was, but he was still fanning the flames there.
He was a typical busybody who didn't mind the trouble.
But Hidan just ate this, and gave Tobi a look of 'kid, you're very sensible', and patted him on the shoulder appreciatively.
Encouraged, Tobi worked even harder to pull aggro for Hidan.
His performance of pretending to be powerful with borrowed authority was so realistic that he could be called the first generation of veteran actors.
So gradually, more and more people gathered around, and their eyes were very unkind.
Shinji rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.
He really didn't know now whether Tobi was tricking Hidan, or deliberately provoking a conflict between them and the Land of Water.
After all, Obito was at least more than half responsible for the suffering that the Land of Water, or rather the Hidden Mist, was suffering now.
Just as Hidan was smirking and preparing to take off his weapon and send all these guys to see Lord Jashin, shouts came, driving away the crowd.
"What do you want to do? Are you trying to rebel?!"
"Disperse, all of you disperse!"
"Don't think that just because Lord Chojuro has left, there's no way to deal with you bastards!"
"This country is now undergoing the most difficult test, and even Mizukage Terumi Mei is tirelessly driving away monsters and protecting everyone day and night."
"You, as citizens of the Land of Water, even if you don't dare to fight monsters, do you still want to cause trouble everywhere and continue to drag the country down!"
Many people were reprimanded until their faces turned red, and they left with their heads down on the spot.
Obviously, most people still had a conscience, but were forced by life to be helpless.
But there were also some people who were bad to the bone and didn't care about what they had just said at all, but had to disperse because of the military deterrence of these security guards sent by the Daimyo.
Shinji couldn't help but take a high look at this upright official.
It was easy to sabotage during a national crisis, but it was extremely difficult to stand up voluntarily, strictly discipline yourself, and also stop others.
However, when it was their turn to face this upright official, they would know just how troublesome and difficult the other party was.
"Where did you come from? What are you doing here?"
"We are wandering ninjas, and we heard that there is a great need for manpower here, so we came. This is our proof of completing commissioned tasks in the Land of Waves before."
This time, Shinji was well prepared, or rather, Mira Peng had arranged it very well.
Their identities could completely withstand investigation.
The other party took the proof and other items and looked at them, and his expression immediately softened a lot, no longer so serious. After all, the Land of Water really needed these people's help now, even if it was just a few wandering ninjas.
Many grains make a mountain, and they could still solve many problems.
"On behalf of the Land of Water, I thank you for your assistance."
"I happen to have an urgent task here that needs manpower to complete, and the reward is generous. Please come with me."
The official seemed to have remembered something and said hastily.
Shinji didn't expect to be drafted as soon as he arrived in the Land of Water, but since he was here, he might as well settle down. He couldn't abandon this identity on the surface yet.
"Can you tell me about the task? If the task is too difficult, I'm afraid we can't complete it with only three people."
"Of course, our Land of Water will not issue tasks that send people to their deaths, nor will we let friends who come here to help us through the difficulties become cannon fodder. You can rest assured about this. If you have any friends you know who have a certain strength, you can introduce them with confidence. I believe the rewards will definitely not disappoint everyone!"
First, he patted his chest and assured them, and then gave an advertisement, and then the other party talked about the main thing.
"This emergency task is actually not difficult. There is a village 9 kilometers east of here, and there is a cave near the village. The people in the village reported that someone accidentally entered the cave while cutting firewood, and then bumped into a ghost inside, shouting something about letting him out, he wanted to get out, but the strange thing is that no one was seen inside. After the woodcutter went back frightened, he told the village chief about it."
"Afterwards, the village chief took people to explore again, but found nothing. It was empty inside, and there was nothing, let alone sounds like 'let me out'. So the village chief suspected that the woodcutting villager had misheard, and mistook the sound of the wind for a cry for help. Although this kind of thing was rare, it had occasionally happened."
"But the woodcutting villager, although afraid, firmly believed that he had not misheard. The village chief was also worried about whether some monster had run out of the cave, so he reported it to me."
"So your task is to investigate the truth of this matter. If it's a misunderstanding, then forget it, but if it's really a monster causing trouble, evacuate immediately and hand over the information to me. You don't need to risk your lives."
"We will then estimate the strength of the target based on the information you investigate, and then send someone to eliminate the monster."
"Of course, if you are very confident in your strength and determine that you are stronger than the other party, then you can also directly eliminate it, and then come to me with the body to settle the reward. We will definitely satisfy you."
"That's the general situation, are you willing to take on this task?"
Shinji thought about it, anyway, he had to kill Cursed Spirits to earn Cursed Soul Points, and with the help of the Land of Water's intelligence network, he would definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
So he nodded, "No problem, leave this task to us."
"Great, this is the proof of receiving the task, I have registered it for you. Take care, goodbye!"
"."
Why did he suddenly have a feeling of being tricked?
