Chapter 57 Sand Ninja Intelligence
The next morning, the sun shone into the residence of Che and his friends.
Che and his friends were ready, and Maruboshi Kosuke even carried the iron pot on his back. After all, they would have to sleep outdoors again in the next few days.
Che adjusted the forehead protector on his forehead and led the group to set off.
Heading west, over mountains and ridges.
The further west they went, the sparser the vegetation on the mountains they passed, slowly changing from dense forests to low shrubs.
On the way, they pretended to look for traces of the rebel ninjas from the Hidden Valley Village, asking for directions in some villages along the way.
In the end, they did ask, and a woodcutter said that he had seen two people who looked and dressed like those on the intelligence map walking west.
This just matched the direction that Che and his friends were heading, so Che stopped dawdling on the road and headed west.
But this made Che think of a possibility, that is, maybe the Hidden Valley Village was not unaware of the movements of the two rebel ninjas, but they did not dare to look for them in the west, fearing that the Hidden Sand Village ninjas would be unhappy.
But it's good this way. Even if the two rebels are in the Sand Village, Che has a reason to wipe them out, and he can also collect intelligence about the Sand Village openly.
Walking all the way to dusk, Che signaled a few people to stop and said: "We will camp nearby tonight and continue on the road tomorrow. Otherwise, we will run to the Sand Village the next day after receiving the mission. The purpose is really obvious."
Baiyun Yeshan thought it was reasonable, so he stopped and began to look for a suitable place to camp.
Gu Jie took down the iron pot and said while holding the pot: "Then I will still be responsible for dinner tonight."
"It just so happens that I bought some ingredients in the village on the road today."
Matt Dai took the initiative to help Gu Jie pile up a simple stone stove on the ground.
Che touched his chin and said: "There is no meat in the ingredients, that won't work, leave the meat tonight to me."
After that, Che turned and ran up the mountain.
The sky gradually darkened.
Baiyun Yeshan found a sheltered cave as a shelter.
Matt Dai set up a stone stove and grill outside the cave.
Gu Jie used the knife on his waist to carve out four sets of wooden bowls and chopsticks, and had already set up a pot to boil water and put the other processed ingredients into the pot to stew.
At this time, the three of them looked forward in unison.
"Captain Che, you..." Baiyun Yeshan was a little stunned, because at this time Che was carrying a huge prey on his back.
The dark fur, fat and strong body, and long nose were exactly a wild boar weighing two or three hundred kilograms.
I saw a kunai stuck in one of the wild boar's eyes, and the kunai was deeply embedded in it, which was obviously the cause of the wild boar's death.
Che, who had just finished hunting, was in a very good mood. He put the wild boar on the ground and said, "Tonight is a big meal."
Gu Jie took up his knife and went forward to check. While dealing with the wild boar, he praised, "This hunting technique is really superb. There is not even a wound on the surface of the wild boar. This complete wild boar skin can be sold for some money."
Che replied as a matter of course, "It seems that my skills are not rusty yet."
Gu Jie skillfully completed a series of actions, bleeding, removing internal organs, dividing and cutting meat in one go.
Soon, a part of the cut meat was put into the pot and stewed with the ingredients in the pot.
The other part was strung into skewers and grilled on the grill, and four pig legs were sprinkled with seasoning and marinated, and then grilled later.
For a while, the rich aroma of food filled the entire area.
Just then, Che said, "Ye Shan, there are a few uninvited guests at six o'clock. Go and deal with them."
Baiyun Ye Shan immediately held the long sword behind his waist with his backhand after hearing this. This is his unique ninja tool Changfeng Sword.
Baiyun Yeshan stood up and carefully checked the movement of the person who was released. As expected, he found something strange and admired Che even more.
At this time, in the bushes dozens of meters behind Che, several men were squatting and peeking at the situation of Che and his men.
"My God, it smells so good!"
"Brother, let's go and rob them. I'm almost starving!"
The man called the eldest brother said seriously: "Ordinary people won't stay in the mountains at night. Be careful. If it's a ninja again, it will be troublesome!"
"Brother, look! That person stood up!"
"Not good, let's hurry..." The eldest brother was about to call his brothers to run away.
At this time, accompanied by a burst of leaves falling from the sky, a voice came: "Since you are here, don't leave."
Baiyun Yeshan suddenly appeared beside him.
Several people were frightened and took out their weapons to chop at Baiyun Yeshan.
A ray of cold light flashed in Baiyun Yeshan's eyes. He dodged a few knives and several bloody wounds appeared on the hands of several people in an instant, cutting off their tendons and veins.
Baiyun Yeshan then dragged several people to Che.
Che said lightly, "It's enough to leave two alive."
Che was keenly aware that the people in front of him were all vicious, so he had no psychological burden to kill them. After all, they were in the wilderness, and they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.
Several people wailed and begged for mercy, but Baiyun Yeshan still executed them until only two were left.
Maruboshi Kosuke looked normal and cooked as if nothing had happened, but Might Dai looked a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.
This shows the difference between the few people. Although Che and Baiyun Yeshan are young, they are both elites of the village, and Maruboshi Kosuke used to be an old-school ninja who could carry out missions with the Hokage.
Only Might Dai has been engaged in low-level Genin missions and is probably not familiar with such things.
The remaining two survivors were scared, and Che only needed to ask casually and they revealed all the information.
It turned out that the few people were bandits from the nearby mountains. They usually hang out in the mountain stronghold and rely on robbing to meet the daily needs of the bandit stronghold.
However, a few days ago, a group of ninjas from the Sand Village came and forcibly occupied their mountain stronghold.
The bandits rebelled, but were slaughtered and only these few people escaped.
I just saw Che and his friends cooking on the mountain. They came nearby because of the smell.
When they were about to start, they were all killed by Baiyun Yeshan alone.
The information of the two people can basically be confirmed to be true by comparing each other.
Che asked about the specific location of the bandit stronghold, the characteristics and number of those ninjas, and then signaled Baiyun Yeshan to kill these two people.
After Baiyun Yeshan dealt with it neatly, he dug a big hole in the ground and threw all the bodies of the bandits into it to bury them.
After dealing with these, Maruboshi Kosuke's feast was almost done, but the grill next to it was still roasting pork legs.
The four people sat around and enjoyed the food.
Maruboshi Kosuke can always create delicious dishes with simple ingredients and seasonings, which is indeed a great skill.
Che was drinking fresh pork and vegetable soup and eating barbecue when Maruboshi Kosuke said, "According to the description of these two bandits, the two rebel ninjas from the Hidden Valley Village should have defected to the Hidden Sand Village. How should we proceed with our mission?"
Che smiled and replied, "Isn't this exactly what we want?"
