The bonfire burned fiercely, dispelling the darkness and coldness around it. In the temporary Base, Uchiha Chen and his subordinates gathered together, enjoying the rare silence.
It's just that the moonlight is as frosty and bone-chilling, and the surrounding scenery is a little more desolate than Konoha.
"Wow, Captain, you are so cunning."
Taki Tōru sniffed the aroma of rice in the air like a puppy, and at the same time looked at the hard dry food in his hand with disgust, then looked at Uchiha Chen's extremely rich lunch with envy, and swallowed quickly.
"Captain, you are eating your bento by yourself, and you can't bear to let us eat this..."
Taki Tōru I couldn't think of how to describe the dry food that was as hard as a stone in my hand.
Uchiha Chen shrugged and said, "You blame me?"
Taki Tōru turned his attention to Himeji and said, "Himeji-chan, look at the captain bullying us."
"You are only thirteen years old now, and you are still in the developmental stage. If you eat this kind of thing, you will become a complete airport in the future."
Taki Tōru gestured with his chest slightly and said exaggeratedly.
Himeji was stunned for a while and then said seriously, "It's okay, I'm very confident in this aspect."
Uchiha Chen almost spat out the food in his mouth when he heard this. Could this be a fake Himeji? Where is the promised three-no girl?
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that Hinata's capital is exaggerated, otherwise she wouldn't have become Naruto Uzumaki's concubine. Could it be that the princesses of the Hyuga Clan have abilities far beyond ordinary people in this regard?
Feeling that Uchiha Chen's eyes were staring at him nonchalantly, Himeji raised his head and looked at him expressionlessly.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. Uchiha Chen wanted to explain that he was actually very pure... as pure as his own milk.
But Taki Tōru and Himeji had two words in their eyes - perverted, which made him really unable to interrupt.
I had no choice but to clear my throat and take out a copy of Scroll from my pocket.
"I'm afraid of you. I don't have much left. I can only take care of you for a few meals."
"Wow, thank you Captain."
Taki Tōru quickly took over Scroll and took out four lunch boxes, keeping two for himself and giving the other two to Himeji and his brother.
"I remember this Scroll... was given to you by that Uchiha Clan girl when you were leaving, right?" Taki Tōru asked while eating the lunch box.
"Yes, Mikoto's cooking skills are good, right?"
"Hmm... Actually our Himeji is also pretty good at cooking." Taki Tōru said vaguely with rice in his mouth.
Uchiha Chen raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the eldest lady Hyuga Clan could actually cook. But when you think about her independent and somewhat awkward character, it's not so strange to do something like this.
"Let's not talk about it for now. We will arrive at the main battlefield in two days." Uchiha Chen leaned towards the bonfire.
"The importance of the supplies Transport Corps is self-evident. I must remind you in advance that the Sand Ninja may launch a surprise attack on us in the next time. So you must be careful and vigilant..."
Just before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and a piercing siren echoed in the night sky.
The shaking lasted for tens of seconds before slowly stopping. Several members of the team fully demonstrated their experience on the battlefield. When they took out their weapons, they looked around vigilantly.
Taki Tōru glanced at Himeji: "Is it an enemy attack?"
Himeji, whose blood vessels had burst, shook his head and said, "There are no enemies."
"It seems to be just a simple earthquake." Taki Tōru relaxed.
Uchiha Chen's face became more and more solemn. He had felt this kind of fluctuation on the battlefield, and even had close contact with it.
——The power of Shukaku.
If it is really not an earthquake, that is to say, Shukaku appeared in Land of Rivers. The field of view of Byakugan is only one kilometer, so it is normal that Himeji cannot detect it.
If it is really Shukaku, then it seems that things are not as simple as previously thought...
When he thought of Uchiha Chen, his face became more solemn.
"You stay here."
After leaving these words, he quickly ran towards Orochimaru's tent.
At the center of the transportation unit, Tsunade quickly walked into Orochimaru's tent.
"How's it going?" Orochimaru raised his head and asked hoarsely
"The reconnaissance ninjas sent out ahead have sent back the investigation information, I am sure..." Tsunade said in a deep voice.
"One-Tails Shukaku!"
Orochimaru nodded and pointed to the seat in front of him for Tsunade to sit down.
"It seems that we can determine the location of Third Kazekage." Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice.
Tsunade shook his head. "It's hard to tell about this matter. The reconnaissance ninja did not find Third Kazekage."
Orochimaru chuckled, "With Third Kazekage's strength, it is easy to escape from the detecting ninja. Don't forget that he is a man who can control Magnet Release."
"Then what is his purpose? If Tailed Beast is to be released, then it should be on the battlefield. Why is it in such a remote place? Is it just to attract us there so that we can attack the transport troops?"
Orochimaru shook his head. "This is completely unreasonable. Shukaku is much more important than these materials. There is no reason for him to risk losing Tailed Beast."
Tsunade held his chin and thought for a while, "Then can we understand that Tailed Beast was not released by him."
"Since he didn't put it there, it means that Shukaku appeared here because of its own behavior. This can also explain why Third Kazekage appeared in Land of Rivers for several weeks. He was just looking for Tailed Beast."
Tsunade's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
Orochimaru nodded in appreciation. "You are thinking the same thing as me. Third Kazekage left the village and appeared in Land of Rivers just for Shukaku. So the question is, how did Shukaku appear in Land of Rivers?"
"First, it controlled Jinchuriki and escaped. However, this possibility has been basically ruled out. I have asked Chen about the detailed information at that time. He saw Ebizo strip Shukaku out of Jinchuriki's body, and Seal entered Chagama."
"Second, Shukaku escaped from Chagama's Seal..."
Tsunade shook his head and said, "This is impossible. Scroll in our clan has a record of this Chagama. It is said that it was used by Sage of Six Paths to drink tea. Once it is Seal, the person who is Seal cannot leave unless he takes the initiative to unblock it."
Orochimaru nodded. "Then there is only the last possibility."
"An accident occurred when the sand ninja put Shukaku Seal into the new Jinchuriki's body, causing the death of Jinchuriki. Jinchuriki The death of also caused the death of Shukaku, and for some unknown reason, Shukaku chose to be reborn in Land of Rivers!"
Just like peeling off a cocoon, the two of them restored the whole thing. Although there may be some problems in the details, Orochimaru can be sure that it will not be too different.
Then a new question comes again. Should they rush now to prevent Third Kazekage from re-Seal Shukaku, or should they protect this batch of materials from being transported to the battlefield?
This was really a difficult choice, and the two people in the tent fell into silence for a while.
