Chapter 344 The Walking Witch
Land of Earth, Iwagakure Village.
Under the moonlight, a figure kept shuttling back and forth in the woods.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally stopped on a not-so-remarkable big tree.
He first looked around vigilantly, then skillfully took out a scroll from a hidden tree hole.
By the moonlight, she opened the scroll.
There are only two sentences above.
"The mission in Iwagakure is over."
"Go to the Rain Country quickly."
After reading it, she set the scroll on fire and burned it.
"Finally I can leave."
"But when can I go back?"
Muttering a few words under her breath, she raised her head and looked towards the southeast, which was the direction of Konoha.
Only after the ashes had settled and he had calmed down did Nono turn around and leave.
In order to facilitate movement, she lives in a remote place.
It is a small apartment building, and there is not a single street light on around it at night.
With the sound of the key turning, the door opened.
A card fell to the ground. Nono bent down to pick it up before walking into the room with confidence.
After turning on the lights, the environment inside the house can be seen at a glance.
Apart from the necessary furniture, the interior is really simple.
Nono took off her combat uniform, revealing her curvy figure.
Her brown hair was long enough to reach past her shoulders and her facial features were delicate.
It is more beautiful and charming than a few years ago.
Throwing himself on the tatami, Nono closed his eyes and began to empty his mind.
This is the moment she enjoys most every day.
After about a quarter of an hour, Nono slowly sat up.
He rubbed his face, thinking about how to get out of this situation next.
"I hope the Rain Country is the last stop."
Nono didn't know what mission was waiting for him, so he could only go and discuss it later.
This was not her first time escaping from the ninja village, and she soon had a general idea of the direction of action.
But this time we need to be more careful. After all, the strength of the Iwagakure is not comparable to that of the small ninja villages.
I stood up and opened the closet, intending to pack a few pieces of clothing, but then I decided not to.
Everything is the same as usual.
Early the next morning, Nono reunited with his team as usual.
In order to avoid revealing her identity, she is now just an ordinary Chunin.
The team had just assembled and hadn't had much time to chat.
Then I saw the leading jonin walking towards me with a serious face.
"Captain, why do you look so bad today?"
As the only female in the team, Nono is still very cared for.
"Don't mention it, it's just another scolding."
"What does catching spies have to do with us?"
The captain just had nowhere to complain, so this was a good opportunity.
"The intelligence department is not good enough, but they blame us for not being serious enough."
"This gave the spies from other villages an opportunity."
“Isn’t this just shirking responsibility?”
The captain gestured as he spoke, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied.
“They’re going too far.”
"and then?"
Nono and the captain stood on the same front, but he was cautious in his heart.
"And then, then the Tsuchikage-sama went berserk."
"From today on, we, a bunch of unlucky people, will work with the intelligence department to catch spies."
"Until the Tsuchikage-sama is satisfied."
The captain covered his forehead with his hands. If the professionals couldn’t find it, where could they find it?
"Any clues?"
"We can't just run around like headless flies, right?"
Nono asked the question naturally, with the intention of gathering information.
There is more than one spy in the Iwagakure.
"clue?"
"It would be nice if there were any clues."
Speaking of this, the captain became extremely angry and his emotions became agitated again.
"The intelligence department is a bunch of bastards."
"It is said that there is a female spy who has traveled to several ninja villages."
"It is very likely that he is in our Iwagakure now."
"What's her nickname? The Walking Witch."
"Don't even mention her looks, height or special features, I don't know anything about them."
"But it's not bad."
"At least I know it's a woman."
The captain laughed out of anger after he said this.
With just this little bit of information, they have the nerve to call it a clue.
I really want to thank you all, your ancestors.
“That’s really good.”
Hearing this, the other two team members couldn't help but speak out.
This is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Don't be angry, Captain, we'll just do as you ask."
"Whether you can find it or not depends on your fate."
Nono was still comforting the captain, and he finally felt relieved.
It’s not easy to find yourself.
"let's go."
"Let's take a stroll first."
The captain obviously didn't think their team could find the spy and was just pretending.
I'm afraid he would never have thought that the walking witch was among his team.
Led by the captain, the four ran from one end of the village to the other.
Everyone looks normal and there is absolutely no clue.
"It's not a good idea to run like this."
"Has there been anything suspicious recently?"
The captain squatted on a small stone pillar with a piece of wild grass in his mouth, looking bored.
"The daughter-in-law of the old lady next door gave birth to eight children in one pregnancy."
"Is this suspicious?"
This team member was obviously a funny guy, and when he saw that the captain's mood had improved, he started to joke.
"Fuck you, her daughter-in-law is a pig?"
The captain took the weeds and threw them over, but none of them were reliable.
"There's no direction at all, where can we find it?"
Dodging the weeds thrown by the captain, he also began to complain.
This kind of aimless search is the most boring.
"Forget it, let's go."
The captain looked at the sunset and was too lazy to look for it anymore.
This is only the first day, there is still a long time.
Anyway, it’s not just their team that is slacking off.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
When Nono heard the dismissal, he ran faster than a rabbit.
At this moment, she already had a careful plan to escape.
For several days, Nono's team gained nothing.
Of course, the same goes for other teams.
Ohnoki had lost his temper countless times, but it was all in vain.
In a blink of an eye, a week passed and Nono was fully prepared.
That night, Nono closed the door without any reluctance.
It's time to leave!!!
Following the route that had been explored long ago, Nono safely left the Iwagakure Village.
Then he quickly headed to the Rain Country.
The next day, Nono was still nowhere to be seen.
The captain realized something was wrong, and then several teams reported missing ninjas.
This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.
After Ohnoki's rage, the entire Iwagakure village was placed under martial law.
After a careful search, the ninjas of Iwagakure came to a frustrating conclusion.
The missing ninjas were all dead, but some of their bodies could not be found.
Nono is one of them.
The culprit behind all this is the walking witch.
And through the clues left by Nono, they could only believe the fact that the walking priestess had left Iwagakure.
When this news was reported to Ono Muer, he was furious.
The person in charge was almost beaten to the same height as him.
In the end, Ōnoki announced that he would catch the walking shrine maiden at all costs.
When all the attention and energy of the Iwagakure was on Nono, the other spies were safe.
This is also Nono's greatest contribution since his departure.
Running on the way to the Land of Rain, she was like a free-flying bird.
