"There are tails following us."
Shinji pretended not to know anything and hummed softly, "It should be people from Sunagakure, obviously the other party isn't so easy to fool."
"Find a chance to just get rid of them?"
"No, let's keep them for now. We'll take action after the others from Sunagakure have gone far away."
"Hopefully those two guys are right behind us, and didn't leave with the others."
Hidan muttered, he didn't have a broad mind, and was vengeful by nature.
Because this village was built in an oasis, it was relatively rich, and many people traveling to and from would choose to stop here.
And since the end of the last ninja world war, Sunagakure had reached an alliance agreement with Konohagakure, so trade between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire was also very frequent.
He hadn't seen it before when there was such a big commotion, but now that the commotion had subsided, many people had come out of the shelters, making this place regain its vitality and life.
In addition, Shinji also noticed a small detail.
That was that the natives living here were very adaptable. Although they had just experienced some very terrible things, they had almost calmed down at this time and were doing what they should be doing.
On the other hand, those outsiders, merchant caravans, etc., all looked frightened and pale.
"Sure enough, the harsher the environment, the more it can hone people's character."
Shinji sighed a little.
But if he had a choice, he would definitely choose to live the most comfortable life.
Nonsense, if there was a choice, who would give up delicacies and run to eat corn buns for the rest of their lives?
Wasn't that just making trouble for themselves!
"Welcome to our small shop, sir~"
"Two rooms, and send some local specialties."
"Okay, two distinguished guests, please come inside~"
Finding a clean and hygienic hotel, Shinji and Hidan checked in.
As the saying goes, if you have money in your hand, you won't panic.
Shinji naturally didn't need to treat himself badly. If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few small tails that hadn't been dealt with, he would have really wanted to experience the 'Shamat-style massage' introduced by the boss.
He just didn't know what this Shamat was...
Unknowingly, the night was deep, and the whole village became quiet.
In order to prevent accidents, Nonota had already led people to return to Sunagakure village overnight.
And Kōshō, Kōtsuki, and the other two who were left behind were hiding around, secretly monitoring the movements of Shinji and Hidan.
"Damn it, they're just two wandering ninjas, I don't think there's anything to monitor, just knock them unconscious and take them back for interrogation, and everything will be clear at once, why waste time here."
Kōtsuki looked displeased. In his opinion, the two useless guys were eating and drinking under his nose, and then sleeping peacefully.
And they had to gnaw on dry food and freeze in the cold night.
Naturally, he felt unbalanced.
Kōshō also had similar thoughts. More importantly, he had lost face because of these two guys he looked down on, and had been reprimanded.
So he really wanted to get back at them and make those two guys beg for mercy on their knees!
So after changing shifts, Kōshō didn't hide his thoughts and directly talked to his brother Kōtsuki, and the two hit it off.
"But the problem is that the mission we received doesn't allow us to take action privately unless we're sure that these two people really have a problem."
The two frowned. If it was just the two of them, it wouldn't matter if they acted first and reported later.
However, there were two other companions who were invisibly hindering them, making them unable to mess around recklessly.
"Why don't we tell them? Everyone is from the same village, presumably they wouldn't fall out with you and me brothers just because of two outsiders."
After hearing this, Kōshō shook his head, "This is a mission assigned by Lord Nonota, even if they don't stop us in person, if they 'talk nonsense' when they get back, then you and I will be too passive."
"Then give them some benefits and drag them into the water together?"
"There's no need for that, it's not worth it. How much oil and water can you squeeze out of two wandering ninjas? If I couldn't swallow this breath, I wouldn't be feeding mosquitoes here."
"This won't work, that won't work, then what do you say we should do?"
Kōshō thought carefully, a fierce look appeared on his face, "Since we've decided to take action, then let's just go all out and confirm the two guys' identities as spies!"
"I'll go set up the scene in a while, and then you go lure them over. Then we'll catch them red-handed, and there will be no evidence to the contrary. We can also earn a sum of money along the way, how about it?"
Kōtsuki's heart skipped a beat, "You mean..."
Kōshō nodded hard.
After the two reached a consensus, they immediately separated and acted.
Not long after, a figure was lying outside the window.
The window was quietly pushed open.
In the darkness, Shinji immediately opened his eyes.
Tap tap tap!
Three kunai shot straight at him in a triangular formation.
Shinji was about to block, but his eyebrows rose, and he found that the position of these three kunai was a bit off, as if they were worried that he wouldn't be able to dodge.
After throwing the kunai, the person outside the window turned and ran, and also deliberately made a lot of noise.
As if to say to him, come on, come chase me!
"How stupid would someone have to be to fall for such an obvious lure?"
Shinji shook his head and was about to go back to sleep when he heard a noise from next door, and then he saw a familiar figure chasing out under the moonlight.
Okay, whether it's stupid or not, Lord Duan said so!
"This idiot!"
Shinji couldn't help but curse, then picked up the Kubikiribōchō and chased out as well.
Since the other party wanted to die so much, then he might as well fulfill them!
Kōtsuki, who was pretending to escape in front, was originally worried about what to do if the people inside didn't fall for it, but he found that he had overestimated them.
So he sneered and deliberately pretended to be panicked and controlled his speed, very worried that the other party wouldn't be able to catch up and would give up.
But before long, he found that the speed of those two wandering ninjas was not as slow as he had imagined, especially the guy carrying an exaggerated sword, who was obviously the last to chase out, but was quickly closing the distance.
This wouldn't do!
Kōtsuki gritted his teeth and couldn't care about anything else, and immediately increased his speed to the fastest.
But when he looked back, his heart suddenly skipped a beat!
That guy was actually only ten meters away behind him.
"How is he so fast?!"
He was really panicked now, and threw all kinds of kunai and shurikens in a flurry.
Shinji, who was chasing behind, was speechless when he saw the other party's performance.
He was just trying to give this guy a little pressure and test him out.
But was that all there was to it?
If he didn't know that this guy still had companions, and was planning to take them all out, he would have killed this guy long ago, why would he need to hang him here leisurely.
Of course, Kōtsuki didn't know that this was the result of Shinji holding back, he was still trying...
Trying a little sadly.
