Chapter 74 Changes in the Country of Wind
Since it was infiltrating the investigation rather than assassination mission, Shishui naturally did not wear his very conspicuous, ugly and cute Anbu animal mask.
The two rushed from Konoha to the Land of Wind.
Generally speaking, there are only three ways to obtain information from other ninja villages:
The first method is to send professional intelligence ninjas from the village and lurk in the target ninjas or civilians as ninjas or civilians.
Orthodox intelligence ninjas are generally trained for too long and have high investment costs, so the number is small, which is suitable for long-term lurking. For example, when the pharmacist Nonoyu lurks in Iwai, this is the case.
More temporarily use transformation techniques to replace a key person. This method is risky and requires high requirements for ninja strength. It is suitable for temporary lurking, such as when Orochimaru lurking in Yunyin.
The second method is to use coercion and temptation to instigate the rebellion, or simply use ninjutsu, illusion or medicine to control ninjas in other villages and let him serve himself as a spy.
The third method is to simply grasp the key figure and pry open his mouth with severe torture, or simply use secret techniques to obtain the information he wants from his head.
Yayoi and Shimizu came to Fengzhi Kingdom this time because Konoha learned about the abnormal movement of the Sand Village from the spy lurking in Fengzhi Kingdom.
The spy who came from the news was a civilian in the Wind Kingdom. To be more precise, the news came from several places in the Wind Kingdom at the same time.
These people who came with the news were not even considered professional spies, and they could only say that they were just civilian informants who were bribed by money.
Generally speaking, the information sent by informants of this kind of identity is naturally limited, and they mainly focus on catching wind and shadows.
However, after all, Satsuki was still hostile to Konoha a few years ago, so they still need to be wary of them.
Moreover, the content of the tips sent from different places this time was unexpectedly unified, which made its credibility a lot.
Therefore, although the third generation of Naruto thought in his heart that Sagiri would not pose a threat to Konoha, he still sent Yayoi and Shimizu to Fengyu to investigate.
The purpose of their trip was not only to spy on the basic people's sentiments in the country of Fengyu, but more importantly, they were to connect with a spy ninja lurking inside Sandou, bringing back the real information of Sandou.
...
On the way to Saihiko, Shimiya and Yayoi were also communicating with each other, revealing some information about their abilities to facilitate the cooperation between the two in the mission in the future.
During this period, the two also talked about their opinions on the trip.
As a member of the Animus, Shimizu knows a lot of information from all aspects.
From this information, he also roughly understands the current internal situation of Sai Yin.
As the loser in the Second Ninja World War, although he did not force the signing of any harsh treaties, the recovery after the Sagiri War has not been very good, and there are many undercurrents within it.
For example, the opposition ninja represented by Chiyo's mother-in-law, who is very dissatisfied with the armistice.
If the third generation of Fengying, known as the "strongest wind shadow in history", had not been suppressed strongly on it, there might have been chaos within Sai Yin.
After knowing this information, Shimizu, like the third generation of Naruto, was very optimistic about the situation and believed that Satsuki did not have the threat to Konoha for the time being.
This time the abnormal movement of the Sand Ninjan is probably related to other things.
Yayoi is not as optimistic as Shimizu. As someone who knows the direction of the plot, he knows that the third Ninja World War, which brought heavy losses to Konoha, will take place in the near future!
The abnormal movement of the Sand Ninjan is likely to be the precursor to this war - the disappearance of the third generation of Fengying in the "Strongest Wind Shadow".
During the conversation, Yayoi also noticed one thing:
There is always a sense of confusion about Konoha between the words of Uchiha Shimizu, or a kind of "ownership".
Of course, there is also a hint of pride that the surname Uchiha is generally present.
It gives people the feeling that "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of Konoha," "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", or even "Good the life and death of Konoha, *******", "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell" has been brainwashed.
It seems that the importance of a village is far above your life and even your family.
It's completely different from the ordinary Uchiha tribe.
Yayoi was a little curious about how Shimizu, who was like a loyal dog in Konoha, formed?
Is it the Sharingan's special eye opening mechanism and the spiritual characteristics of the Uchiha tribe that create this?
Yayoi once asked Shimizu indirectly.
Zhishui also talked about his past without hesitation.
Uchiha Shimizu's elder is the "Uchiha Mirror" who once served as the second-generation Naruto Guard.
As a descendant of Uchiha Mira, Uchiha Shimizu joined Konoha Anbu early on, and under the influence of her family, he inherited Uchiha Mira's "Will of Fire" and took reconciling the conflicts between the family and the village and dedicating his life to the village as his life creed.
As someone who knows the ending of Uchiha Shimizu, Yayoi is not optimistic about his personality.
...
After two days and one night, the two had crossed the border of the Wind Kingdom and entered the country of Wind Kingdom.
Most of the territory of the Wind Kingdom is vast desert areas, with shortage of food and water.
Therefore, although the border line of the Wind Kingdom is long, it is only necessary to set up border posts at key water sources and oasis locations, and to station ninjas to guard against most foreign forces from crossing the border.
Of course, for those well-prepared advanced ninjas, the outpost can play a very small role.
As soon as they entered Fengzhi's homeland, Yayoi and Shimizu had already noticed something was wrong.
"No, why are there so few border guard ninjas arranged by Satsuki at these border posts?"
Due to the long-term execution of the Dark Side, Uchiha Shimizu, who had crossed the border of the Wind Kingdom many times, soon discovered something wrong.
Even the layman Yayoi discovered some clues.
There are so few ninjas garrisoned at these border posts!
Just compare Konoha. Even though there are more border posts in the Fire Kingdom, Konoha also stationed at least three squads in each post, that is, nine ninjas, for the rotation of duty and handling some emergencies.
Among the border posts of Sand Ninja, most of them only have one squad, that is, three ninjas!
When there is no rotation, you can imagine the mental state and duty strength of these ninjas.
With this level of vigilance alone, let alone guarding against advanced ninjas like Yayoi and Shimizu, even civilians on the border crossing the border, they may not be able to catch them.
This kind of withdrawal of most border guards usually only happens in one situation, that is:
