Chapter 133: Infiltrating the Mist

Che sailed to the north of Dalang Island, the Kingdom of the Sea, where Tian Jingchou's home was by the sea.

Che stopped the boat on the shore and tied it to a wooden stake on the shore with a rope to prevent the boat from being washed away by the waves.

Then Che walked towards Tian Jingchou's home, which was a dilapidated hut with a small reclaimed field in the stone-walled yard, where some vegetables were planted.

Land suitable for cultivation is a scarce resource on this island, just like fresh water.

So Tian Jingchou could only plant this small field in the yard.

Che came to the door and a woman walked out of the house.

The woman's skin color was a healthy wheat color, she was dressed simply, and her hair was simply tied behind her. She looked pretty and was a simple rural beauty.

This was Tian Jingchou's wife, Ogura Ai.

"Chou, you're back!"

Fishing is actually a very dangerous activity, so when Tian Jingchou fishes, Ogura Ai would worry and pray for her husband.

Che saw that Ogura Ai didn't seem to find anything, so he felt relieved.

"I'm back. I've caught a lot these days!"

It's normal to stay at sea for a few more days when fishing, so Xiao Cang Ai believed it after hearing this explanation.

According to the intelligence, Tian Jingchou would give Xiao Cang Ai a hug every time he came home.

Che thought to himself: "I'm sorry, I'll just act."

Then Che strode forward and hugged Xiao Cang Ai into his arms. The smell of a mature woman floated into Che's nose.

However, what Che didn't expect was that Xiao Cang Ai suddenly pushed him away.

"What's wrong?"

Che asked.

Xiao Cang Ai said vigilantly: "You... are not Chou..."

Che was a little surprised and planned to continue pretending, "What are you talking about, Xiao Ai, I am Chou."

Che thought to himself where there was a flaw. There should be no problem with his appearance and voice, and his behavior was the same as described in the intelligence. Could it be the smell or something like that?

Ogura Ai asked, "What did you do to Chou?!"

Che saw that Ogura Ai was so sure, and took off his disguise and asked curiously, "How did you find out?"

Ogura Ai said, "I didn't find it at first, but I just felt a little strange..."

"But you didn't even look at the vegetable garden from the time you entered the door until now... So, you are not him."

Che shook his head and smiled. He didn't expect that he was exposed because of this detail.

I'm afraid Tian Jing Chou himself didn't notice that he would pay attention to the vegetable garden when he entered the door, so it was not written in the intelligence.

Che stopped pretending, and released the transformation technique, revealing his true appearance.

"It's actually a child? You are... a ninja!"

Ogura Ai was surprised to find that Che was just a thirteen-year-old boy, and then she exclaimed when she saw the Konoha forehead protector on Che's forehead.

The Kingdom of the Sea is a small country without a ninja village, and its usual tasks are entrusted to the Hidden Mist Village in the neighboring Kingdom of Water.

Ogura Ai has rarely come into contact with ninjas, so she hesitated for a while after seeing the forehead protector before reacting.

Ogura Ai covered her mouth and said sadly: "Has Chou already..."

Che saw that Ogura Ai was overthinking, so he explained: "Don't get me wrong, your husband is still alive and he will come back."

Ogura Ai wanted to ask something, but Che didn't want to waste too much time here.

With a glare, the illusion took effect.

The effect of the application is to ignore her existence and forget what just happened.

The condition for lifting is to see her husband again.

When Tian Jing Chou was released by Konoha, Che must have completed the task, so it doesn't matter if the illusion is lifted at that time.

After applying the illusion, Che walked into the house as if nothing had happened and found the clearance document.

He took the document and passed by Ogura Ai who was carrying water to water the vegetables in the yard, and shook his finger in front of her to confirm that the illusion was effective.

"If this illusion falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions, it may cause harm to the people."

Seeing that his illusion was so effective, Che couldn't help but sigh.

After confirming that Ogura Ai ignored him, Che returned to the boat with the document and sailed to the Land of Water.

On the sea, Che used the transformation technique again and turned into Tian Jingchou's appearance again.

This time, Che went directly to the customs port in the south of the Land of Water.

The port of the Land of Water is even busier than that of the Land of Fire.

After all, the Land of Water is a maritime country, and all foreign trade is completed by sea transportation.

"Over there! Dock, dock! Bring me the documents."

A paunchy customs official came over arrogantly.

After landing, Che took the documents ashore and handed them to the official humbly.

The customs official took the documents and flipped through them, then looked up at Che.

"Nothing else?"

Che took out a few banknotes and put them in the documents.

The customs official smiled, "You are quite sensible."

The customs official took the banknotes into his arms and looked back at the same time.

Some Mist Ninjas were stationed in the back.

Che had already observed them with his six eyes, and judging from their strength, they were just some middle and lower ninjas.

Customs officials and Kirigakure ninjas belong to two different systems. Customs officials are officials of the Daimyo Prefecture of the Land of Water, while those ninjas belong to Kirigakure.

So those Kirigakure ninjas noticed the corruption of customs officials but did not do anything about it.

Che got permission, rented a carriage at the port, and drove a cart of fish to Kirigakure.

That afternoon, Che arrived at Kirigakure.

Kirigakure is different from Konoha. It is shrouded in white fog all year round, so it got its name Kirigakure.

Most of the buildings in the village are built with hard blue-gray stone, which can prevent them from being rotten and corroded by the humid environment.

Che successfully entered the Hidden Mist Village and pulled the cart to the seafood market.

Fish is the most commonly consumed meat by the residents of the Hidden Mist Village. After all, other meats are more expensive than fish in the Hidden Mist Village.

So the seafood market is very large. Che pulled the carriage in and put up a sign that it was freshly caught from the Sea Country, and he immediately dumped a lot of it.

There were also some other merchants who came to Che to wholesale a lot of fish.

Che didn't want to stay in the seafood market for too long, so he didn't bargain or anything, and sold out all the fish in the car directly.

Che then hid in the toilet, made a seal to separate a shadow clone, and let the shadow clone continue to disguise himself as Tian Jingchou.

He rushed out of the window and left the seafood market.

Che used the transformation technique to transform himself into an ordinary middle-aged man, pinched his collar and smelled it.

"Hmm, a fishy smell."

Che decided to take a bath to get rid of the smell.

Just now, in order to avoid being discovered, Che closed the Unlimited Art, so he was stained with fishy smell.

Che took a comfortable bath and then looked at the tavern sign on the street.

The tavern seems to have always been one of the sources of intelligence.

Che walked into the tavern, ordered a beer and sat down, but did not drink a sip.

After all, Che hated drinking, so in order not to attract attention, Che sat in the darkest corner and paid attention to the conversation of a table of Mist Ninjas.

This table of Mist Ninjas was the most valuable target in this tavern.

"It's better to go back to the village. Finally, we don't have to fight with the Sand Village. Those guys are just crazy among crazy people."

"But such a good day won't last long. I guess we will be sent to fight Konoha again."

Che raised his glass and pretended to drink, but actually poured the wine on the ground along the outer layer of Unlimited, paying attention to the conversation of the three Mist Ninjas.
