Chương 65: This is the Foggy City

When leaving the gold exchange, the abbot personally saw Jieluo off at the door with a bright smile, while the ninjas waiting outside looked on in astonishment.

I've rarely seen this guy smile so brightly. What, did he find a fortune?

The abbot bowed and scraped as he saw Jieluo off, his eyes filled with excitement.

That's truly incredible intelligence; we've found a huge sum of money. Thirty million is still too cheap.

But that customer wasn't someone who cared about money.

"Boss," the ninja monk asked, "Is the intelligence definitely true?"

"It's true, Musashi." A fierce glint flashed across the abbot's face as he said, "If it's this woman, it will become true even if it's not. Her goal is probably to create chaos in the ninja world. Even if it's just a rumor, we must spread it."

The monk seemed to be deep in thought.

"Who is this woman, boss? Do you know?" In the brief encounter, Musashi could only be certain of one thing: if he made a move, he would die.

The abbot, with a mysterious smile, said, "Ghost Princess, the number one dangerous individual ranked first in Konoha's Anbu Assassination Manual. Just a few days ago, she gave Konoha a taste of her own medicine. From top to bottom, from the God of Shinobi to the Ninja World, no one in Konoha could do anything about her. Soon, the entire shinobi world will know about Konoha's joke and this woman's name."

"Information of this level..." Musashi wondered, "Wouldn't Konoha block such information? Who leaked it?"

Even if everyone in Konoha saw it, it would be difficult to keep the news under wraps.

"It's strange who leaked it, isn't it?" The abbot laughed.

"Hyuga, they're looking for the whereabouts of the Demon Princess. Hyuga Tennin, who was humiliated, won't easily swallow his anger."

"Is the ninja world about to descend into chaos again?" Musashi swallowed hard.

"Musashi, don't be so attached to appearances. There has never been a day when the ninja world is not in chaos, not even during the era of ninja villages. Peace in the ninja world is just a pipe dream."

After leaving the gold exchange, walking through the misty mountains, Jieluo beckoned with her finger, and a moment later, a jet-black butterfly fluttered and landed on Jieluo's fingertip.

"Hyuga Tennin, huh...?"

I was wondering why the bald man looked at me with such a strange expression, and why he was so smooth in admitting defeat.

It turns out it's about getting to know yourself.

As for the main family, it would be necessary to make a show of it. Unexpectedly, the move of sending them back to Akitsu yielded unexpected gains.

Previously at the gold exchange, in addition to selling information, Jieluo also bought some information, mainly about Wuying Village.

To be honest, Jieluo's understanding of the Mist Village is quite limited, unlike his knowledge of the Leaf Village, which is almost complete.

Byakuren, the first Mizukage of the Mist Village, was a very shrewd old man who seemed like a kind old man to outsiders. However, that was only true to his external dealings. His methods were extremely ruthless internally. The Mist Village's later devastating state was inextricably linked to the policies and structure he established.

In order to establish the village, Byakuren began his arduous journey during the Warring States period. The first to join him were the Hozuki clan. To outsiders, the Hozuki clan seemed to have great ambitions, but unfortunately, their strength was insufficient. Logically, establishing Kirigakure would require a difficult and protracted war to wipe out the large number of rebellious ninja clans. However, the turning point came with the God of Shinobi.

Under pressure from the God of Shinobi, many ninja clans changed their minds and rapidly expanded the strength of Byakuren's forces.

Currently, the Land of Water is still embroiled in a fierce civil war. Many ninja clans do not want to join Kirigakure, and the Yuki clan, which has been entrenched on Yukikaze Island for many years, is particularly difficult to deal with.

Among them, the most vocal and vocal was the Kaguya clan, who had migrated from the Ninja World continent to the Land of Water. If the Kaguya clan easily bowed their heads, they would no longer be called the Kaguya clan.

Many ninja clans unwilling to fight began to retreat to the ninja continent, such as the Tsuchigumo clan.

The current situation is that on Asagiri Island, Kirigakure has basically unified the territory, and there are still a small number of anti-Kirigakure elements resisting. The troublesome thing is the large ninja clans entrenched on the other islands. If this trend continues, many ninja clans will not live to see the ninja village era and will disappear as a whole. Even if they live to see the ninja village era, they will perish one by one.

It can only be said that death was inevitable either way, and there were some clever people among the ninja clan.

Therefore, Kirigakure is currently short of people, and anyone who joins will receive Kirigakure status.

At noon, Yura and Lucy officially arrived at Kirigakure.

Located deep in the mountains, surrounded by rolling hills, I looked at the misty gate and walked towards it.

"Halt!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a kunai shot to the ground, and two ninjas carrying ninja swords landed instantly. They looked Lucy up and down, and seeing that she was a pretty girl, asked irritably, "Where's your headband? Are you a village ninja? Then come in!"

Lucy looked at Jiro.

Jieluo gestured for her to do as she pleased.

"Um, I'm here to join the village," Lucy said.

"Aren't you going to welcome me?"

The two ninjas exchanged a glance, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Come with me to register, stay close to me, and don't wander around the village."

They easily entered the village, following behind the cold-noodle guy, and Yura looked around at the buildings of Kirigakure.

Many of the buildings are brand new, and there are quite a few villagers living in them. The cylindrical bluestone buildings stand against the mountain, some as short as bunkers and others as tall as chimneys. They have windows, and you can see the huge round, disc-shaped building standing on the hillside in the distance with a large sign with the character "water" on its wall.

This is the Water Shadow Building.

Along the way, there were many bridges and slopes, either going uphill or downhill. What looked close in the distance could not be reached in a long time. As he walked, Jieluo became somewhat disoriented.

Although there are still few buildings, this is the mountain town that Jieluo knows best...

This is the foggy city!

It inexplicably gave Jieluo a sense of familiarity.

Looking up at the more than a thousand steps of bluestone steps, Jie Luo lifted his foot and stepped onto the steps with a happy heart.

Relying on the undulating and steep mountain terrain, the ninjas of Kirigakure built many stone bridges as main roads and side roads. At intervals on both sides of the stone bridges, there are stone steps that serve as passages to get off the bridge. The stone bridges are interconnected and run through the whole village. The central point where they converge is the location of the Mizukage Building. Below the Mizukage Building is a huge arched bridge.

The bridge arch is at least 100 meters high, forcibly creating a flat area in the rugged mountains. Together with the massive Water Shadow Building on it, it looks like a huge small mountain from a distance.

It's called a bridge, but it's more like the Great Wall winding along the mountains.

The Water Shadow Building cannot be described as a building; it is more like a vast fortress with a function of warfare.

After climbing onto the bridge, the ninja saw Lucy looking at the archway and said, "That's the square where the villagers usually relax. It's very comfortable to cool off in the summer under the archway."

Lucy nodded as if she understood, but seeing so many bridges made her genes stir.

"Thanks..."

"You're welcome. From now on, we're all from the same village." Although his face was cold, the young man said in a somewhat simple-minded way.

Are they fellow villagers?

Jie Luo smiled faintly.
