Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 315 Information
At this stage, the burden on Yukimura's heart finally let go. Akiko, Yuto, Taro and Qin, because of their own arrival, became friends with them, traveled and fought together, and even though they had doubts, quarrels and betrayals, but, After all, the few of them still helped each other until now, and he finally brought them to a relatively safe place, Izumo City.

However, they all know that no matter how close they used to be, there will always be a day when they will be separated, and the huge difference in strength and identity will widen the gap between them.

They will gradually separate in this way, each have their own lives, and occasionally talk about the old days, but they will never be together every day like before. After a few months, after Yukimura leaves this world, they will completely lose contact and become each other. A warm and unforgettable memory in each other's life, and then tell it to your children as a story decades later.

This is an inevitable development of fate, and everyone knows it very well in their hearts. Several people bid farewell to each other with tears in their eyes, walked towards their real family, and left with one step at a time.

"Are you a bit sentimental?"

After the banquet, Orochimaru came to Yukimura and said to Yukimura who was looking into the distance.

"Have some."

Yukimura said with a sense of loss, after all, they have been together for a month, and they have established some so-called bonds with each other, so they are really uncomfortable psychologically when they are separated all of a sudden.

"Ha ha."

Orochimaru smiled inexplicably, he didn't know what he thought of, shook his head, looked ahead for a long time, and let out a sigh of feeling.

"Orochimaru."

After a moment of silence, Yukimura suddenly asked again.

"Can I ask you one thing?"

"whats the matter?"

Orochimaru turned to look at him, puzzled.

"Why did you agree to become the second city lord?"

Yukimura asked, although the city lord of Izumo City has great rights, the burden and responsibility are relatively heavy.

Just like the former Hokage, the position of the shadow represents more than just rights. As long as you become a shadow, it means that you must put aside your personal affairs for the benefit of Konoha as a whole and to protect the people in the village. And struggle for the rest of your life, even sacrifice your own life.

The same is true for the Rebel Army. As long as you sit in this position, you must consider the future of the Rebel Army, protect the only remaining seeds in the ninja world, and take on the important task of liberating the ninja world from the rule of Otsuki. General pressure is not something that ordinary people can bear.

In Yukimura's impression, Orochimaru is not such a person. For his own selfishness, he would use the villagers to experiment with the technique of immortality when he was in Konoha Village. He casually took it as a sacrifice, and didn't take human life or his subordinates seriously at all. It's hard to imagine that such a person would lead the rebel army to fight openly and covertly with the empire for hundreds of years.

"No particular reason."

Orochimaru smiled when he heard this, and Yukimura vaguely saw a different color in his eyes.

"If there is a reason, then maybe it's just because I, too, am a ninja."

He said something like a pun, took a few steps forward, his figure flashed, and disappeared into the dark night sky like a puff of smoke.

Only Yukimura was left standing there, watching his leaving back, muttering in a low voice, and at the same time, a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Is it a ninja...just...?"

…………

That night, Yukimura spent the happiest night in Izumo City since he came to this world.

Without the hesitation when he first arrived and the tension later, after spending a month full of crises and finally gaining peace, he slept so deeply that when he woke up the next morning, he almost didn't remember Get up where you are.

"I forgot, this is the city of Izumo."

After waking up in the morning, Yukimura finished washing, stood in front of the tall French windows, looked at the bustling scene with traffic, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

I almost thought I was back in my previous life.

He slandered a few words like this, and then went downstairs to eat.

The residence Orochimaru arranged for him is a high-end apartment in the center of Izumo City. The entire apartment has 15 floors. Yukimura lives on the 9th floor. There are many shops and restaurants on the first and second floors. Ramen, barbecue and even hot pot are all available. Yes, Yukimura found a hot pot restaurant that looked a little more authentic and tried it.

There are not many dishes, but there are various vegetables, meat, fish and shrimp, although I don't know where they got so many tricks.

Compared with Yukimura's time, the taste has been improved a lot, and it is more inclined to the taste of the local people. Although it is not as authentic as it is written on the signboard, for, but for Yukimura who has been sleeping in the open for a long time, this sentence is quite rare. It's delicious, what he ate during this period of time can really be regarded as food, that is, the welcome party of the Inner Wheel Clan that night, the banquet last night, and this hot pot this morning.

Yukimura had a good meal, comforted his stomach that had been suffering for a while, and then went out, intending to take a good look around this strange city first.

But what he didn't know was that while he was wandering in the city, something important was happening in another part of the city.

"Daisuke and Makoto haven't sent a message back for ten hours."

In the northwest corner of Izumo City, in the External Reconnaissance Section of the Ministry of Intelligence, a female ninja wearing glasses sat in front of the computer, checking the attendance records in the database, and said suddenly.

"how is this possible?"

A young man next to him came over and said in his mouth.

"Isn't it stipulated to report every four hours?"

"But there are also provisions that, in case of an emergency, the reporting interval can be extended."

Another young man spoke up.

The rebel army and the empire have been two regimes that have targeted and opposed each other since their establishment. Just as the empire tried everything possible to find traces of the rebel army, the rebel army also valued the empire in every possible way.

For hundreds of years, the Rebel Army has developed countless intelligence personnel in the empire, some are reconnaissance, some are spies. These people are scattered throughout the ninja world, providing the rebel army with various information about the empire.

Among them, some people even have their memories sealed, and they are scattered under the rule of the empire. If it is not necessary, they may not be used in their lifetime, but as long as there is a need, they will become a spear piercing the heart of the empire at any time. tusks.

It is because of the silent dedication, sacrifice and struggle of these people that the rebel army has been lurking under the eyes of the empire for so many hundreds of years and developed safely.

For safety reasons, there is no specific regulation on the time for spies to transmit information, but reconnaissance is different. According to regulations, unless there is a major change, they must report at least once every four hours.

Therefore, this unusual situation has alerted the intelligence community.

"Even if there is a sudden incident, ten hours without contact is too long."

Five minutes later, in the office of the investigation section, the bearded head of the investigation section analyzed.

"Generally speaking, even if there is an accident, seven or eight hours is enough."

He said that if an accident happens to the dispatched scouts, even if there is no chance at the time, they will definitely try their best to contact the base afterwards. Whether it is to convey information or seek assistance, contacting the base camp is the safest way. Twelve There is no news for an hour, which is very unusual.

"What is their mission?"

He thought for a moment and asked the assistant next to him.

"Their target should be the old residence of the Inner Wheel Clan. After the Inner Wheel Clan disappeared, the secret legion that was originally used to monitor them got a new order to start deploying. This is not a small force, so we must send them purpose is clarified.”

The assistant next to him gently flipped through the notes in his hand and said in his mouth.

"The Inner Wheel Clan..."

The bearded man gritted his teeth. Of course he knew what the name represented. Besides Uchiha and Sharingan, it also related to the prince of the empire and a very important person.

At this time, something unexpected happened there.

"Could it be that……"

His eyes flickered for a moment, and his eyes gradually became serious.

A very dire possibility occurred to him.

"Let's do a blood contract check."

After pondering for a while, he raised his head and ordered solemnly.

"Chairman..."

The female ninja next to her hesitated for a moment, feeling a little unnecessary.

The so-called blood contract inspection is a way to test the status of the expatriate personnel through the special connection method of the blood contract.

Every expatriate who leaves Izumo City will sign a hidden blood contract before leaving. In order to ensure that the secret will not be leaked, and the enemy will not trace back to Izumo City according to this blood contract, This kind of blood contract can only be activated by other parties in the city, and can only be activated once. The purpose is to convey the physical state and location of the signer of the blood contract to the intelligence department in the city, so that the intelligence department can quickly learn the specifics of the expatriates. information.

If necessary, it is also possible to unilaterally physically destroy the investigator's brain through the Blood Pact.

All these measures are to protect the secrets of Izumo City from being leaked to the empire.

However, it is precisely because of this extremely high level of confidentiality that in order to prevent outsiders from reconnaissance to Izumo City through the blood contract, the blood contract can only be used once. Once triggered, there is no way to re-sign the blood contract next time. Used it again.

There's only one chance, so generally speaking, they only use this last resort in times of real urgency.

"But, that's only during special times..."

The female ninja is still a little hesitant. Because the location of Izumo City is secret and there is an extremely strict barrier protection outside, not only the people in the city cannot go out easily, but it is actually not easy for the liaison officers outside to communicate with the city. Things, so if there is a delay in something or you can't find an opportunity, it is not uncommon to be delayed for a few hours.

Generally, they only initiate the blood bond check after 24 hours of the expatriate's disappearance.

"Also, since Daisuke and Makoto are together, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Another ninja also said that these two are veteran ninjas in the city. Not only are they experienced and distinguished, but they also master special ninjutsu. But not many.

It is precisely for this reason that the two of them were chosen to be sent to the former Inner Wheel Clan for surveillance activities.

Therefore, the few people present did not think that anything would happen to the two of them.

"Now is a special time."

However, the bearded man didn't think so. If it was in the past, it would not be a big deal if he disappeared for only an hour of gathering, but now is an extraordinary period, and any slight disturbance may be a precursor to the storm.

He frowned tightly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt a terrible sense of crisis. He ignored other people's thoughts, stood up, found a scroll from the bookcase next to him, and spread it out on the table. Make a mudra with both hands, and then press hard on it.

Ninja and Spirit Summoning
With a burst of red light on, the entire scroll seemed to be suddenly burned by flames, and gray traces spread rapidly from the center to the surroundings. In an instant, the entire scroll was burned into a ball of white ashes.

What also turned pale was the sudden change in the faces of everyone around when they saw this scene.
