The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

After engraving the mural in front of him deeply into his mind, Madara left the basement of this shrine.

"Rumble..."

Under his control, the strange piece of metal next to him once again blocked the entrance to the basement.

Then, Madara formed a seal with his hands and slapped it on the ground.

The surrounding land suddenly churned, and soon the entrance to the basement was covered with soil.

As long as they don't look carefully, others won't be able to notice that there is a basement with shocking secrets hidden here.

"Okay, let's continue to the next shrine."

Now that everything is done, Madara is ready to go to the next shrine.

Although Madara gained a lot from this shrine, he has no plans to let go of other shrines.

The information he has collected so far is very fragmentary. If he can gain more and connect this information together, it will undoubtedly be the best situation for Madara.

Taking a final glance at the location of the basement, Madara moved his feet and disappeared.

After no one was around, this inaccessible forest continued to maintain its tranquility for hundreds of years.

The breeze blew and the leaves rustled.

From time to time, some wild animals run past.

About an hour later, a figure suddenly appeared on an ordinary tree.

"It seems no one is lurking around here..."

The figure said to himself.

And the red eyes in his eyes undoubtedly showed his identity - Madara Uchiha.

At the same time, another "Uchiha Madara" who had already left the forest and was still running suddenly stopped. His entire body suddenly turned into soil, and then disintegrated into rubble.

Earth clone!

Madara is not a fool either.

Although the information in the shrine left by the Uchiha ancestors does have a certain degree of credibility.

But he learned from Quan Nai that that strange creature was best at sneaking and hiding. It had mysterious and numerous methods, and it also controlled quite a few secrets.

Madara could find this shrine, but what if the creature could also find it, and even tampered with the content of the murals in advance to deliberately mislead him?

If the other party really had this idea, Madara would probably be watching quietly from the side in order to accurately grasp the deception target's reaction and carry out follow-up actions.

In order to prevent being deceived, Madara secretly used his earth clone and pretended to leave, while his real body lurked with the Mangekyō Sharingan open and carefully observed the surroundings of the basement.

Fortunately, the result of the current temptation is that no one is plotting against him.

This also made Madara breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, if Madara can't tell which information is true and which is false when faced with half-true information, then the best way is to completely discard the information just in case.

As a result, this precious shrine basement is completely worthless.

"call……"

After letting out a long sigh of relief, Madara didn't waste any more time and immediately left for the next shrine.

As for whether the other party was really plotting against him, he just didn't notice it.

Madara also considered this possibility.

But in this case, there was really nothing he could do.

But at least, the content of the mural, which was originally only 50% credible, has been increased to 80% credibility in Madara's heart after this trial.

…

Madara was running around hard in the Land of Fire, but at the same time, Hanzo and Kaoru Terumi had arrived at the capital of the Land of Kawa.

It has to be said that although they are both daimyo, the prosperity of Sichuan City is a bit different than that of Fire City and Water City.

The city wall of Sichuan Capital is not very high, and there are city guards at the gate watching over it.

There are no ninja clans or permanent ninjas in Kawano Country, and these city guards are all well-trained warriors.

Because there are no ninjas, the country of Kawakawa has been at peace for a long time. Although these samurai are well-trained, Hanzo can still see the childishness in their eyes at a glance.

These city guards can deal with ordinary bandits and bandits, but once the opponent is a ninja, I am afraid that only one qualified genin can deal with a dozen of them by himself.

Shaking his head, Hanzo didn't think much more about it.

If the Kingdom of Kawa is like this, it is also a good thing for the ninja world of the Kingdom of Fire, which is about to be unified.

Only if it is weak enough, the Kingdom of Sichuan will be able to peacefully act as a buffer country between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire.

Entering the Capital of Sichuan, Hanzo and Kaoru discovered that the customs here, to be honest, are not much different from those in the Land of Fire.

After thinking for a moment, Hanzo suddenly felt that this was normal.

After all, being sandwiched between the two great powers, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire, it is naturally not immune to the influence of both countries.

The natural climate of the Land of Sichuan is very close to that of the Land of Fire. It is expected that over time, the folk customs will become closer to the Land of Fire.

If there is any difference, it is that because of their own weakness, the daimyo of Kawa no Kuni and the nobles of Kawa no Kuni are more timid and low-key.

Comparatively speaking, the citizens of Sichuan City probably live a better life than the citizens of Fire City.

But despite this, relying on the talent of a woman, Kaoru Terumi still happily took Hanzo for a stroll in the commercial streets of Kawanoto.

At this moment, Hanzo once again recalled the fear of being dominated by shopping in his previous life.

Although Terumi Kaoru couldn't really buy anything because she was on a mission, for women, even if they didn't buy anything, they could still spend a whole day shopping on the commercial street in high spirits.

Fortunately, the setting sun saved Hanzo in the end.

It was already mid-afternoon when the two of them arrived in Sichuan Capital. Sichuan Country was not a wealthy country, so there were not many shops in the capital that could open at night.

As night fell, the two of them randomly found a pretty good hotel.

As for dinner, it was provided by the hotel owner.

"Hmm... the food in the Kingdom of Sichuan looks similar to the style of the Kingdom of Fire."

Terumi Kaoru picked the food in front of her with chopsticks and said to Hanzo with a smile.

Hanzo spent half an afternoon walking around. Although he didn't feel tired physically, he was tortured mentally.

Therefore, when the rice was served, he directly picked up the rice and started cooking it along with the vegetables.

Hearing Xun's words, he said in a somewhat unclear voice: "Didn't you see it too? Well... the dishes of the large and small restaurants we saw on the street are similar to those of the Fire Country."

Seeing Hanzo devouring his food, Kaoru, who was originally in good spirits, suddenly felt hungry and couldn't help but eat the food in front of him.

"I'm just looking at those clothes..." Xun whispered.

Speaking of clothes, Hanzo couldn't help but recall the terrifying experience of being used as a wardrobe by Kaoru Terumi in the afternoon.

God knows why Xun shows him clothes when he goes to the store.

"Don't worry about it. Just finish your meal and rest. We have to continue our journey tomorrow."

After a moment of shuddering, Hanzo quickly changed the topic.

When it came to the mission, Terumi Kaoru finally suppressed her feminine instincts and nodded: "That's right..."
