The bonfire burned fiercely, dispelling the darkness and coldness around it. In the temporary station, Uchiha Tatsu and his subordinates gathered together, enjoying the rare silence.
It's just that the moonlight is as frosty and bone-chilling, and the surrounding scenery is a little more desolate than Konoha.
"Wow, Captain, you are so cunning."
Toru Toru sniffed the aroma of rice in the air like a puppy, and at the same time looked at the hard dry food in his hand with disgust, then looked at Uchiha Tatsu's extremely rich lunch with envy, and quickly swallowed it. saliva.
"Captain, you are eating lunch alone, and you have the heart to let us eat this..."
Toru Tohru didn't think of how to describe the dry food in his hand that was as hard as a stone.
Uchiha Tatsumi shrugged and said, "You blame me?"
Toru Toru turned his attention to Himeji and said, "Himeji-chan, look at the captain bullying us."
"You are only thirteen years old now, and you are still in the developmental stage. If you eat this kind of thing, you will become a complete airport in the future."
Tohru Toru gestured with his chest slightly and said exaggeratedly.
Himeji was stunned for a while and then said seriously: "It's okay, I'm very confident in this aspect."
Uchiha Tatsuya almost spat out the food in his mouth when he heard this. Could this be a fake Himeji? Where is the promised Sanmu girl
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that Hinata's capital is exaggerated, otherwise she would not be the crown princess. Could it be that the princesses of the Hyuga clan have abilities far beyond ordinary people in this regard
Feeling that Uchiha Tatsuya's eyes were staring at him vaguely, Himeji raised his head and looked at him expressionlessly.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and Uchiha Tatsu wanted to explain that he was actually very pure... as pure as his own milk.
It's just that there was one word in the eyes of Toru Toru and Himeji - pervert, which made him really unable to interrupt.
He had no choice but to clear his throat and take out a scroll from his pocket.
"I'm afraid of you. I don't have much left. I can only take care of a few meals for you."
"Wow, thank you Captain."
Toru Tohru quickly took the scroll and took out four lunch boxes, keeping two for himself and giving the other two to Himeji and his brother.
"I remember this scroll... was given to you by the girl from the Uchiha clan when you were leaving, right?" Toru asked while eating his lunch.
"Yes, Mikoto's cooking skills are good, right?"
"Hmm... Actually, our Himeji is pretty good at cooking." Toru Toru said vaguely with rice in his mouth.
Uchiha Tatsumi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan could actually cook. But when you think about her independent and somewhat awkward character, it's not so strange to do something like this.
"Let's not talk about it for now. We will arrive at the main battlefield in two days." Uchiha Tatsu leaned towards the bonfire.
"The importance of the material transportation team is self-evident. I must remind you in advance that the Sand Ninja may launch a surprise attack on us in the next time. So you must be careful and vigilant..."
Just before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and a piercing siren echoed in the night sky.
The shaking lasted for tens of seconds before slowly stopping. Several members of the team fully demonstrated their experience on the battlefield. When they took out their weapons, they looked around vigilantly.
Multi-track Toru glanced at Himeji: "Is it an enemy attack?"
Himeji, whose blood vessels had burst, shook his head and said, "There are no enemies."
"It seems like it was just an earthquake." Duoguitou relaxed.
Uchiha Tatsumi's face became more and more solemn. He had felt this kind of fluctuation on the battlefield, and even had close contact with it.
—The power of Shukaku.
If it really wasn't an earthquake, that is to say, Shukaku appeared in Kawa no Kuni. The Byakugan's vision range is only one kilometer, so it is normal that Himeji cannot be detected.
If it is really Shukaku, then it seems that things are not as simple as previously thought...
When he thought about it, Uchiha Chen's face became more serious.
"You stay here."
After leaving these words, he quickly ran towards Orochimaru's tent.
... ... ... ... ... ..
At the center of the transportation unit, Tsunade quickly walked into Orochimaru's tent.
"How's it going?" Orochimaru raised his head and asked hoarsely.
"The reconnaissance ninjas sent out ahead have sent back the investigation information, I am sure..." Tsunade said solemnly.
"One-tailed Shukaku!"
Orochimaru nodded and pointed to the seat in front of him for Tsunade to sit down.
"It seems that we can determine the location of the Third Kazekage." Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice.
Tsunade shook her head: "It's hard to tell about this matter. The reconnaissance ninja did not find the Third Kazekage."
Orochimaru chuckled: "With the strength of the Third Kazekage, it is easy to evade the detection ninja. Don't forget that he is a man who can control magnetic escape."
"Then what is his purpose? If the tailed beast is to be released, then it should be on the battlefield. Why is it in such a remote place? Is it just to attract us there so that we can attack the transport troops?"
Orochimaru shook his head: "This is completely unreasonable. Shukaku is much more important than these supplies, and there is no reason for him to risk losing the tailed beast."
Tsunade held her chin and thought for a while: "Then can we understand that he did not release the tailed beast?"
"Since he didn't release it, it means that Shukaku's appearance here was his own behavior. This can also explain why the Third Kazekage appeared in Kawa no Kuni for several weeks. He was just looking for the tailed beast."
Tsunade's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Orochimaru nodded appreciatively: "You are thinking the same thing as me. The Third Kazekage left the village and appeared in the Country of Kawa just for Shukaku. So the question is, how did Shukaku appear in the Country of Kawa? "
"First, it controlled the Jinchuriki and escaped. However, this possibility has been basically ruled out. I asked Chen about the details at that time. He saw Ebizo stripping Shukaku out of the Jinchuriki's body and sealing it. In the teapot."
"Secondly, Shukaku escaped from the teapot's seal..."
Tsunade shook her head and said: "This is impossible. The scrolls in our clan have records about this tea cauldron. It is said that it was used by the Immortal of Six Paths to drink tea. Once it is sealed, unless it is unsealed on its own initiative, the sealed person will Impossible to leave."
Orochimaru nodded: "Then there is only the last possibility."
"An accident occurred when the Sand Ninja sealed Shukaku in the new Jinchuriki's body, causing the death of the Jinchuriki. The death of the Jinchuriki also caused the death of Shukaku, and then for some unknown reason, Shukaku chose to stay in Kawan. The country is reborn!”
Just like peeling off a cocoon, the two of them restored the whole thing. Although there may be some problems in the details, Orochimaru can be sure that it will not be too different.
Then a new question comes again. Should they rush now to prevent the Third Kazekage from sealing Shukaku again, or should they protect this batch of supplies from being transported to the battlefield
This was really a difficult choice, and the two people in the tent fell into silence for a while.
