Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Because among the three Kirigakure Jōnin who were attacked and killed, Minazuki Aoba was attacked near the Country of Demons and the Country of Numa, so Uchiha Shisui took a turn on the way to the Country of Wind. Ghost Country took a look.

Compared with the ruins and devastation after being ravaged by monsters two years ago, the Ghost Country has gradually regained some vitality two years later. Although the large number of people massacred by the ghost army could not recover for a while, resulting in many Small villages with decent land are still vacant, but at least in towns and larger villages, people can clearly be seen carrying out production activities.

What surprised Uchiha Shisui even more was that the once-destroyed Demon Country had not only returned to its original state, but also had the signs of several restaurants that he had seen and tasted in Kirigakure Village. Using the Sharingan's vision to look carefully from the outside in, one can also see many passing merchants wearing costumes from different countries, feasting in these restaurants that were obviously newly opened recently.

"This is what the Yondaime calls...cultural export, right?"

Watching a businessman wearing Earth Kingdom costumes, under the kind and patient guidance of the restaurant waiter, he finally learned how to use tools to open the crab that was almost as big as his face plate, and showed surprise after tasting the crab meat. Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but shook his head at the scene of his expression, remembering that at first he was faced with a table full of seafood and had no idea what to do, but now he could tell the difference in how to eat them like a treasure trove.

"Let's go to the miko-sama and ask if there is any relevant information, and then go to the Kingdom of Wind to find the reinforcements that the Yondaime told me before leaving..."

With this thought in mind, Uchiha Shisui turned into an alley that no one was paying attention to. After a few blinks, he arrived in front of the newly rebuilt palace of the Miko of the Demon Country, and then sneaked in quietly.

As the religious and national leader of the Kingdom of Ghosts, the daily affairs of the witches of the Kingdom of Ghosts are still busy, especially when the country has just experienced the chaos of monsters and monsters, and the whole country is in a state of being in a state of waste, and it is also related to the water. When the country reached a new trade agreement and began to introduce some things that the country of ghosts had never had before, the workload of the miko has reached a level that is almost the same as when Rei Kaguya first took office.

This caused Uchiha Shisui to quietly appear in front of Miroku and take the initiative to say hello to her. Miroku was stunned for at least three seconds before he finally realized the fact that someone was calling his name.

"It seems that the work of the miko-sama is quite hard..."

After stopping Maitreya's belated and excessively delayed call for help, Uchiha Shisui said to her helplessly.

"You should work harder. After all, the Kingdom of Ghosts has been ravaged by monsters, and part of my responsibility is part of it. If we can make the Kingdom of Ghosts prosper again, it doesn't matter if I sacrifice a little."

Miroku shook his head, then looked at Uchiha Shisui and asked curiously:

"But why did Shisui-kun suddenly come to our country of ghosts? If I remember correctly, you should be a junior whom the Fourth Mizukage pays special attention to, right?"

"It's because he values ​​me so much that he always lets me perform these troublesome tasks."

After Uchiha Shisui complained a little about Kaguya Rei's oppression of him, the conversation turned to the main topic. After hearing Uchiha Shisui's intention, Miroku showed a pensive expression and remained silent for a while. After a while, she said with some hesitation:

"Sorry, I haven't had much contact with the Minazuki Aoba Jounin. Regarding the disappearance of him and his team, the Demon Country really doesn't have much information to provide... However, one of my guards, However, I once reported a very strange piece of news, I don’t know if it will be of any use to you.”

"What's the news?" Uchiha Shisui sat upright and asked very sincerely.

"That is, the guard's hometown is located on the border of the Land of Swamp and the Kingdom of Ghosts. When he went home to visit relatives that day, he saw a very unusual dark cloud appearing in the direction of the Kingdom of Swamp."

Miroku's words made Uchiha Shisui frown slightly, "Dark clouds? Abnormality? Can you describe in more detail where the abnormality exists, Miko-sama?"

Maitreya tried to think back for a while and said uncertainly:

"Due to the distance, the guard couldn't see very clearly. When he reported, he said that he saw the strange dark cloud changing into many different forms in a short period of time, and then changing suddenly. Disappeared again...

I'm not sure whether what he saw was a real scene, but Shisui-kun, since you mentioned that the place where Minazuki Aoba Jounin disappeared is on the border of Oni Country and Numa Country, then this is The only clue we can provide here. "

Miroku bowed and apologized to Uchiha Shisui with some regret, which frightened Uchiha Shisui who was thinking so much that he immediately stood up and returned the greeting. After repeatedly emphasizing several times that Kirigakure did not mean to blame the Demon Country, Uchiha Shisui finally It was under Maitreya's gaze that he began to analyze the information she provided.

Assuming that what the guard saw was not false, then the dark clouds that can change shapes many times in a short period of time and disappear as soon as they disappear are obviously an abnormal scene caused by the ninjutsu launched by the ninja. There are not many ninjutsu at this level, and considering that the poisonous needles and remains of the puppet were left in the place where Aoba Jonin disappeared, then there is almost only one answer left -

The blood inheritance limit of Sand Hidden Village can control the magnetic escape of iron sand.

But in the current Sunagakure Village, it seems that the only person who can use magnetic escape to escape the blood succession boundary is the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and Rasa himself is not a puppet master. If Minazuki Aoba and his party are kidnapped, If the attacker is really a ninja from Sunagakure, then the lineup headed by the Fourth Kazekage would be a bit too exaggerated...

"If Minazuki Aoba disappeared in the Kingdom of Wind, it would be somewhat logical for Sunagakure to send this kind of lineup to capture him, a ninja with the limit of Ice Release Blood Succession, but the place where he disappeared is the Kingdom of Oni. On the border of the Country of Numa, the distance from the Country of Wind and Sunagakure Village is a bit too far..."

Because of Kaguya Rei's reminder, Uchiha Shisui knew that Sunagakure Village was most likely not the mastermind behind the capture of Minazuki Aoba, but judging from the traces left intentionally or accidentally by the real murderer, he was A ninja who is absolutely inseparable from Sunagakure Village...

"Is the murderer a ninja from another village who has a huge hatred against Sunagakure Village and wants to divert trouble to the east...or is he a rebellious ninja who once belonged to Sunagakure Village but left Sunagakure Village for some reason?"

From all indications, Uchiha Shisui is more inclined to the latter answer.

But having a guess does not mean that he is really close to the answer. He needs more intelligence and clues to support him before he has a chance to find the murderer who may be the Sunagakure rebel and bring him and the organization behind him Catch us out of the darkness together.

I still protected my perfect attendance...
