Chapter 159 Wind Shadow (1)

Border patrols are not easy, not only in peacetime, but even worse in wartime. The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind is hostile, with sandstorms coming at any time, and at their worst they can uproot small trees as thick as a bowl. Add to that the scarcity of water and the dry climate, and it's a tough test for ninjas.

Kakashi lost his former spirit and energy. Not only was his face full of fatigue, but even his hair had become limp, and he looked like his body was hollowed out. Obito was even more exaggerated. He almost cried when he saw Hayama, and stood there aggrieved.

"Tell me what you have gained in the past half month." Ye Shan smiled, like a devil in the eyes of the two little ones.

"I feel like throwing up from patrolling, setting traps and dismantling them every day." Obito felt so aggrieved that he didn't know where to start. He desperately wanted to return to the village. He was willing to eat only coarse food. At least the environment in the village was ten thousand times better than here.

"Then tell me which trap is the most practical."

Obito scratched his head and thought for a while: "I think the most practical one is the double detonating talisman trap. I don't know who invented it, it's too insidious."

The so-called double detonating tag trap is also called the mother-and-child trap. It is often used to warn of enemy tracks and to destroy the enemy in combat. It is indeed very practical. Since its inception, countless ninjas have fallen into it.

The insidiousness of this trap is that it is a double trap. The user usually places a detonating talisman in a position that is easily discovered by the enemy. The detonating talisman is buried in the soil or dead leaves, and a double steel wire is hung on it, one is placed in the open, and the other is hidden in the shadows and is extremely difficult to find. Once the enemy thinks that he has removed the trap and intends to step over the detonating talisman, the steel wire hidden in the shadow will be broken by the weak air vortex, thereby detonating the detonating talisman, giving the self-righteous enemy a big surprise.

Its inventor was none other than the smiling Ye Shan, so it was also nicknamed the Baiyun trap by the village ninjas. It was widely loved by ninjas of all sizes and was considered a must-have trap for murder and robbery. In the past, Ye Shan relied on his superb trap arrangement and the sufficient conditions of Konoha Village's detonating talismans to survive several life-and-death crises.

Logically speaking, Obito should know who invented the trap, because these are compulsory courses in ninja school, and there is no reason for him not to have learned them.

"Are you sleeping during class?" Ye Shan asked with a smile.

"what?"

Obito was a little confused, thinking that his master changed the subject too quickly and he couldn't keep up with his train of thought. Kakashi, on the other hand, laughed in glee. He had always been a good student, so he naturally knew who had created the trap.

Ye Shan said seriously: "All the students in the Ninja School know that this trap was invented by me, why don't you know?"

"..."

Obito was so annoyed that he wanted to slap himself in the face for not paying attention in class and just thinking about how to show off in front of others.

Ye Shan looked up at the sky and estimated the time in his mind: "Okay, I called you here because I have something to say. I will settle the trap account when I come back."

"I will be leaving the camp for a while. You will stay here and continue to perform patrol tasks. During this time, you will follow Uchiha Masato's arrangements for everything. I hope to see a different you when I come back."

Kakashi asked in confusion, "Where is the teacher going?"

Ye Shan said with a half-smile: "It's just to kill one person. Don't worry, I will be fine."

"Of course you're fine, but the person you targeted is in big trouble..."

Kakashi complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, otherwise he would definitely be scolded.

"How long will the teacher take to return?"

"It could be as short as three or four days or as long as a few months, depending on the situation."

It was hard for Ye Shan to say how long it would take. Who knows if Xie was a technical geek who would hide in a dark room and play with statues. But no matter how long it took, he was determined to get rid of this potential threat, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well, fearing that his piglets would be stolen.

"That's it. You two should wait for me to come back as usual."

After saying this, Ye Shan waved his hand and disappeared in an instant under the resentful gazes of the two men, and no one knew where he went.

.......

The national conditions of the Land of Wind are completely different from those of the Land of Fire, and even from all the countries in the Ninja World, because it is a desert country with deserts covering 90% of its land. The special geographical environment has given birth to a political and cultural environment with a unique style.

The armed forces controlled by the Daimyo of Wind Country are the strongest among all the Daimyo. Not only does he have many samurai from the old times serving him, he also has a large cavalry under his command. He has a strong say in Wind Country, and the Daimyo of Fire Country is drooling with envy.

Ye Shan traveled at night and hid during the day, trying his best to avoid inhabited towns and traveling through remote and uninhabited places. Finally, on the fourth day, he arrived at a populous city not far from the Sand Village.

This city stands out in the vast desert. It has a population of at most several hundred thousand, and most of them are merchants.

Ye Shan used the transformation technique to blend into a caravan and entered the city easily. The several Sand Village ninjas in charge of security did not find anything unusual. They just questioned him casually and let him go, looking very relaxed.

Come to think of it, this place is less than 20 kilometers away from the Sand Village, and it is almost instantaneous to get there with the speed of a ninja. For many years, there have never been any trouble caused by ninjas from enemy countries, so the guards naturally became lax over time.

After entering the city, Ye Shan discovered that there was a different world inside the city. There was actually a huge oasis with a large green lake in the center. All the buildings surrounded the lake, forming a city that appeared to be round in appearance.

Before, Ye Shan was wondering how to solve the drinking water problem for such a large population. Now he understood that there would be no shortage of water here at all, even if the population doubled, because Ye Shan suddenly found that there were many cattle and sheep here, dotted in the oasis from a distance, which was quite spectacular.

So, is it reasonable for there to be such a large oasis in the desert? Obviously not. You know, along the way, even the capital of the Wind Kingdom did not have such a large oasis, which was only about half the size of this place.

But Ye Shan thinks it is reasonable, because the rulers of this world are ninjas, and ninjas are not humans, at least not normal humans. So the question is, can the water produced by water escape ninjutsu be drunk?

You have to know that all ninjutsu is simply against common sense. Chakra, this strange energy body, is blatantly slapping the faces of those so-called scientists in the previous life, the kind that leaves five finger marks with one slap.

As far as Ye Shan knows, the embodiment of the technique can form five forms: fire, earth, thunder, wind, and water, and it has great power. The scorching heat of fire, the tenacity of earth, the violence of thunder, the sharpness of wind, and the impact of water are all sharp weapons to kill the enemy, and are also the only weapons for ninjas to dominate the world. Among them, the water attribute chakra is the most amazing. It can not only create water, but also give water the characteristics of permanence. In simple terms, there is no difference between the water created by ninjutsu and the water in its natural form. They are all water.

Theoretically, as long as Fengying wanted, he could create an oasis overnight, but this kind of oasis could not last long in a dry climate.

So Yeshan was not too surprised when he saw many Sand Village ninjas spraying water towards the oasis. Creating an oasis in the desert is a long process and requires a lot of water to maintain it, otherwise it will turn into a desert again in a few days.

Ye Shan observed everything in the city calmly, especially the places where many ninjas gathered to guard, and then walked through the caravans driving camels and entered a simply decorated hotel.

The agreed meeting time is tonight, and it is still early, so Ye Shan plans to get enough rest before talking.

Time passed quickly and it was late at night. Ye Shan opened his eyes as he stepped on the bed. His eyes were bright and all the fatigue from days of running around was gone.

The moon tonight is big and round, the moonlight is bright, and the shadows are heavy, making the ground look silver.

Ye Shan slipped out of the hotel quietly without disturbing anyone. He was covered in a black cloak and moved towards the city gate like a bat in the moonlight.

The guarding Sand Village ninjas didn't realize that someone had touched their noses, and they actually gathered together to play with money, which made Ye Shan speechless. Sand Village was known as the second strongest village in the ninja world, but now it seems to be just so-so.

After leaving the city without any difficulty, Ye Shan found the right direction and headed towards the location of the Sand Village. Soon, he saw a series of black shadows appear in his field of vision in the moonlight. He knew in his heart that this was the most relied upon line of defense for the Sand Village.

The narrow passage is a true slit in the sky. There is only one narrow passage in the mountain that stretches for nearly 50 kilometers, which is an excellent defensive fortification. According to the intelligence obtained by Konoha, at least one squadron of nearly 100 elite ninjas are defending it to ensure that the village will not be invaded by any foreign enemies.

Theoretically, the defense capability of Yixiantian is the strongest. No matter how many enemies attack, they have to enter the village through the narrow passage. It can be said that one man can block ten thousand men. However, it is not without loopholes. At least Yixiantian cannot block the invasion of enemies from the air.

However, there is only one ninja in the entire ninja world who can fly, and he is the Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village, so there is naturally no such thing as an air raid.

Ye Shan restrained his breath to the extreme, bypassed the entrance to the narrow passage, turned and came to the bottom of the westernmost mountain. Then he saw a swastika mark in the moonlight, and felt slightly happy, knowing that he had found the right place.

The meeting place for the spy assigned to him by Uchiha Keiji is here. All he has to do now is wait until the spy comes to deliver the information.

This method is stupid, and can be described as waiting for something to happen in the ninja world, but Ye Shan has no choice but to do it.

Scorpion's whereabouts are no secret to the senior ninjas of the Sand Village. As long as they are determined, they can definitely find out. But for Yeshan, it is extremely difficult to obtain. He can't sneak into the Sand Village to investigate, right?

Not to mention whether he could successfully infiltrate, even if he did infiltrate, if he was exposed, it would be a disaster. No matter how arrogant Ye Shan was, he didn't think he could fight the entire ninja village alone. Doing so would not kill people but send them to death. Sarutobi Hiruzen wished that he would be sent to the enemy to be killed.

Feeling very depressed, Ye Shan hid obediently in the darkness, lowering his breath and heartbeat to the lowest level, quietly waiting for the spy to come and meet him.

After an unknown amount of time, a burst of noisy footsteps reached Ye Shan's ears, making him instantly alert, wondering what had happened.

He seemed to vaguely hear the Sand Ninjas looking for something anxiously, and one of them even smashed a hard rock with an angry punch.

Then, large groups of Sand Ninjas scattered along the mountain in groups like bees whose nest was disturbed. They looked hesitant and did not even notice Hayama who had sneaked under their noses.

Ye Shan was wavering in his heart. Although he didn't know what these Sand Ninjas were looking for, there was no doubt that something big had happened. In just ten minutes, nearly a hundred ninjas rushed into the vast desert, and their expressions were strange and their movements were panic.

"Has the Kazekage died in the Sand Village? They all seem to have lost their souls."

Things were getting out of control, and Ye Shan decided not to wait any longer, otherwise he would be exposed sooner or later. He immediately formed hand seals and was about to leave in an instant, but the sound of footsteps interrupted his action again.
