Chapter 312: The Snow Country Suspects (Part 2)
On a cliff in the Snow Country, a group of people wearing white imperial robes stood on the cliff. Because the Snow Country has snow all year round, there is a vast white area around it. In addition, the group is wearing snow-white imperial robes, so it is impossible to find the traces of the group when they cut them from afar. Even if they are close and careless, they will only treat them as snowmen and ignore them.
"Chief, what is this?" Neji asked in confusion while standing behind Naruto. At the same time, he opened his eyes and observed the village below the cliff.
Naruto stood in front, his long golden hair was hidden in the white robe. He looked at the village below and said softly: "Three years ago, when I first came to the Snow Country to carry out a mission, I heard from the Santafu that they were chased by Fenghua Nutao. In order to avoid the pursuit, in addition to the Santafu going to find Xiaoxue, his companions lived in seclusion in this village. However, because I had never been here, I don't know the specific location, and thanks to Neji's rolling eyes!"
"The leader, there is no one, no chakra fluctuation, it is a completely abandoned village." Neji spoke after observing the entire village.
Naruto nodded and said, "I understand. I didn't expect that this place would be completely abandoned in the past three years, but this is normal. After Xiaoxue became Daimyo and the Santafu became Daimyo's assistant, all the people here moved into Fenghua City. Later, in the rebellion of the Avalanche clan, everyone except the Santafu, died, and the place was naturally abandoned." When he said this, Naruto shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's go down and rest first. We are entering Fenghua City tonight. Neji, stay for the end, don't let someone follow us, and clean up the footprints on the snow."
"Yes." Everyone responded, then followed Naruto and jumped directly from the cliff. Neji stopped for a while, rolling his eyes carefully observed behind him. After confirming that no one was following him, he cleared the footprints behind him and jumped directly from the cliff.
Because the entire village had been abandoned for a long time, the group casually found a larger house. It was also the only better house.
After Naruto and his group stepped into the house, their faces changed dramatically. Others turned their eyes to Neji, and Neji's face became extremely ugly, because there was obvious signs of people living in this house. There was a bonfire in the room and a pot on the fire. There was some food in the pot. Although the food had been cold, it did not deteriorate at all. Although the weather was cold in the Snow Country, the food would not deteriorate in a short time, but it would deteriorate over time. It is known that these foods were produced in the recent time. Neji stepped forward and soon found some bandages and some injuries in a hidden place. Look at these injuries and medicines, which are very expensive things. Ordinary ninjas will definitely not have them. Even the Hinnin may not have them. There is also a trace of blood on one of the bandages. Although the blood has dried, the color will definitely not be long.
"It seems that someone has been here before us. I just don't know who it will be?" Naruto took the bandage handed over by Neji and said, "From this bandage and the medicine, as long as this person is still alive, he will definitely come back. We are here to wait for him. We just need to get some news about Fenghua Castle. Yakumo, wait a moment, after we find this person, you immediately use the illusion, and we will catch him first and talk."
Yakumo nodded and said, "Don't worry. Naruto, as long as I want, no one can easily escape my illusion."
Naruto nodded, then looked at Neji with an ugly face and said, "Okay, Neji, don't blame yourself. Everything in your eyes is black and white, and it is normal not to see these. Moreover, the whole village has been abandoned, and there are strips of cloth and bottles and jars everywhere. If you confused them, you didn't find it. After all, your eyes are for chakra, not for finding things." Neji nodded, but his face was still not very good. However, Naruto did not continue to say more. The group found a place to sit down, and then took out the cooked food purchased in other cities and ate it with dry food and water. After all, they were all ninjas. Not to mention cooked food, dry food, even moldy food, the group could eat it. After all, as ninjas, it was already good to eat it in one bite.
"Someone." Naruto, who had just eaten, suddenly spoke. The group was stunned, and then the others also heard the sound of footsteps stepping on the snow. It was very light and probably couldn't hear it. It was just because they were close to each other, so they were heard by Naruto.
The others immediately put away the food. Neji opened his eyes and looked at it, "It's Xue Ninju. He is entering the village from outside the village. There are not many, there are only about twenty people. Well, who is the person in front?" Neji was stunned and then said, "It's Mr. Ai Bu. The beheading sword behind him is very obvious."
Naruto frowned slightly: "Are you Buzen and Yukien? Humph, it seems that you should have encountered trouble if you Buzen. It seems that you cannot live here. Neji, is there anyone behind them?"
Neji made a little seal, stared in one direction, then moved to another direction, and finally shook his head and said, "Not yet."
"Oh, in this case, we can leave calmly." Naruto said, "Let's go, let's welcome Zabuzai." Naruto and his group walked out of the room. Soon Zabuzai came with more than 20 Xuenin. However, Zabuzai was tied with bandages on his body, and blood was constantly on his chest, although it was just a small wound. The more than 20 Xuenin behind him were all pale and thin, looking shaky, and were wearing prison uniforms. Because they supported each other, they could follow Zabuzai's back.
Seeing Naruto, Zai Buzhan was stunned at first, and then stopped in front of Naruto, as if he wanted to see if Naruto was pretending to be a transformation technique. Then when he saw the others behind Naruto, Zai Buzhan immediately knew that Naruto was definitely not a fake. Zai Buzhan immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I have seen the leader by Zai Buzhan."
"I have met the prince." More than 20 Xueren knelt down when they saw him and refused to kill him again, so he immediately knelt down.
"Okay. Forget these silences." Naruto held Zai Buzhan who wanted to kneel on one knee and immediately found the wound on Zai Buzhan's chest. He frowned slightly and said, "Treat your wound first. Now it seems that this place is not safe. Let's leave here first. Let's talk about what's going on on the way?"
"Yes, leader." He responded again and pointed at Xue Nin behind him and said, "However, the leader, when he went to rescue Xue Nin who was imprisoned in a prison, he was ambushed. Thanks to one person, he just led the enemy away, so he was able to retreat back to this place so quickly. I want to ask the leader to wait for that person."
"Huh?" Naruto was stunned and puzzled, "That person? Who is he?"
Zai Buzhan shook his head and said, "I didn't have a deep communication with him, so my subordinates don't know his name, but I can be sure that he is helping us."
"Is that?" Naruto responded, but his deep frown did not soothe, because from Naruto's perspective, he had to consider the safety of others present, and thought about it for a while, "Okay, I understand, let's wait here for a while. Take advantage of this time and don't kill you. You should treat your wound first. Neji, you should always pay attention to the surroundings. If you find someone approaching, please notify me immediately."
"Yes." Zaibuzen and Neji responded at the same time, and then left. Naruto said to the other Xuenin, "Okay, let's go into the house first. You can rest first and eat something. I have some cooked food and dry food here." As he said that, Naruto and the other Xuenin stepped into the house. Then Naruto took out a storage scroll and handed it to one of the Xuenin. Then Xuenin hurriedly thanked him and took over the scroll, then opened it, and a large amount of cooked food and dry food appeared in the scroll.
In the room, Zaibuzhan began to bandage the wound with Naruto before, and at the same time began to tell the story of what he had happened after he came to Xuezhi Country. It turned out that Zaibuzhan had left Uzumaki City and rushed to Xuezhi Country. Because Zaibuzhan was anxious to question Baogu, he did not hide his whereabouts in time. Shortly after entering Fenghua City, he was found by Baogu. However, Baogu was not here to fight, but to apologize, and only Baogu was the only one who came. So Zaibuzhan relaxed, but he didn't want to be attacked by Baoguzhan and was cut in his chest. However, Baoguzhan might underestimate him and didn't expect that he would escape in this situation. Although Zaibuzhan had been hiding before him.
In the village that the country accidentally discovered while patrolling, he then searched for possible information every night. Until today, he heard that Shui Wuyuebai and Twenty Xueren betrayed the Prince of Snow Country and killed the prince, so he executed him. When Ai Buzhan heard that this was a conspiracy to attract his own conspiracy. But Ai Buzhan had no choice but to save him. As expected, the other party was prepared. Ai Buzhan was sneak attacked by a ninja pretending to be Bai, but was rescued by a young man, killing the ninja, and then saving the more than 20 Xueren and leaving. Later, when he was chased by the pursuers, the young man took the initiative to attract all the enemies, so he returned to the village safely without killing the group.
