A few minutes later, next to a small flower bed at Konoha Commercial Street.
The sun cast mottled light and shadow through the leaves. Naruto, who was sitting by the flower bed, held an ice cream in his hand and couldn't wait to take a big bite. The cream was stuck to the corner of his mouth without even realizing it.
Menma and Hinata sat side by side, tasting the ice cream in their hands.
Shennong looked at the children with a loving smile and handed the last ice cream to his disciple Amaru.
"Okay, this is an apology to everyone. I hope Amaru can be friends with everyone in the future." Shennong stroked the top of Amaru's head, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were full of gentleness.
If Menma hadn't known that this guy was actually the leader of Soragakure, traveling around Shinobi World countries as a wandering ninja to collect intelligence, accumulate strength, and find a way to restore his country, he might have been deceived by his simple appearance.
"Speaking of which, uncle, where are you from? Why do your skin look a little darker?" Menma took a sip of ice cream and asked deliberately.
Shennong was not suspicious of a four or five-year-old child who seemed to have not even learned ninjutsu yet. He smiled enthusiastically and said, "Oh, Amaru and I are both civilians of Land of Rivers, but because the village where we were born is in the rain forest near the coast, the skin of their clan is a bit darker."
As he spoke, Shennong began to tell how he and Amaru met, and the interesting stories they experienced along the way, with a storyteller-like appeal in his voice.
Naruto and Hinata have never left Konoha, and they were fascinated by the stories told by Shennong.
Menma thought about it and the map of Shinobi World appeared in his mind.
Land of Rivers, also known as Land of Rivers, is sandwiched between Land of Wind and Land of Fire. It borders Land of Rain to the north and the sea to the south, facing Land of Tea across the sea.
As the name suggests, this country has many rivers, and there are many venomous snakes and beasts in the rainforest.
As Shennong told the story of his travels, Menma also recalled some deep memories.
I still remember that the village of Amaru is deep in the rain forest, next to the "Ancor Vantian" where Soragakure used to be.
After Shennong rescued Amaru, he taught Amaru for a period of time as a kind elder, letting him learn some simple Medical Ninjutsu, and Amaru also admired Shennong.
But in fact Shennong was just using Amaru. When the time was right, Shennong sent Sky Ninja to attack Amaru's village and captured the villagers to provide nutrients for Zero-Tails.
Shennong used Body Regeneration Technique to fake death to escape, took control of Zero-Tails, and started a war with Naruto.
Later, Sasuke, who was rushed over, used Lightning Release Senbon to seal the acupuncture points, causing Shennong's Body Regeneration Technique to fail and turn into an old man.
Shennong, who turned into an old man, used the mechanism in the fortress to escape the pursuit of Naruto and Sasuke, merged with Zero-Tails to become Zero-Tails Jinchuriki, activated the giant cannon of "Ancor Vantian", and destroyed a mountain range with one blow.
Finally, Naruto used Nine-Tails Chakra to blow up Zero-Tails, and then used Shadow Clone Technique and Perseverance Rasengan to destroy it.
By the way, how do I remember that Zero-Tails seems to be Sealing Scroll that Shennong stole from Konoha?" As the memory gradually emerged, Menma's brows frowned deeper.
There are also Body Regeneration Technique and Body Activation Technique, which seem to have been stolen by Shennong from Konoha."
"Shennong seems to have a deal with Orochimaru or something. I remember that in the movie version, Orochimaru sent Sasuke to find and capture Shennong."
So, now Shennong is here to steal ninjutsu from Konoha and Zero-Tails Sealing Scroll?
While Menma was eating the ice cream served by Shennong, he was thinking about how to get Soragakure's stronghold from this old guy.
I remember that Soragakure seems to be a group of exiled ninjas, living on ships similar to battleships, cruising on the sea all year round, accumulating the power of revenge. Therefore, after Second Shinobi World War was exterminated and annihilated, it took more than twenty years for Soragakure to reappear in front of the world.
Moreover, they went directly to air strike Konoha, catching Konoha by surprise.
Soragakure's battleship, flying ninja tool and Kunai Launcher are all good things, as well as that Ancor Vantian."
Especially the Kunai Launcher, although it is as big as a light machine gun, it also uses a magazine to feed ammunition and has a fully automatic shooting mode that ordinary people can operate.
If the flying ninja tool is improved, it should be able to look like an airplane.
As for the energy supplied, you can look for Gelel Ore, which contains a large amount of chakra and can also produce energy.
Soragakure's ruins "Ancor Vantian" now also have their whereabouts.
Knowing that Amaru was born in the primitive rain forest south of Land of Rivers and close to the border of Land of Fire, then all we need to do is send Shadow Clone and Mind's Eye of the Kagura to conduct a large-scale search.
Half an hour later.
Shennong stood up, patted the broken leaves on his knees, and said to the three of Menma: "Well, it's nice to meet you today. I'm also going to the hospital to catch up with some old friends."
Although Shennong is a wandering doctor, he often comes to Konoha, and because of his Medical Ninjutsu attainments, he also has some contacts with Konoha Hospital's medical ninjas.
In the plot, when Sky Ninja launched an air raid on Konoha, causing a large number of villagers casualties, Shennong was lurking in Konoha.
Konoha Hospital's medical ninja is also somewhat familiar with him.
"Uncle! Amaru! Walk slowly!" Naruto feels very good about this uncle. After all, he is one of the few people who has no ill intentions towards him.
Shennong smiled and waved goodbye to Naruto.
Amaru stuck out his tongue at Naruto.
Menma and Hinata also stood up and said goodbye to the master and apprentice Shennong and Amaru. At the same time, they secretly marked the chakra characteristics of Shennong and Amaru.
From now on, as long as you are within a certain range of Mind's Eye of the Kagura, you can sense their movements.
Southwest of Land of Rivers, in the forest bordering Land of Wind.
The campfire illuminated Uchiha Hikari's entranced profile, and the half-burnt grilled fish in her hand exuded a burnt smell, which was far from the aroma of Menma's grilling in her memory.
"Sir Wuming!" Five Hoshinin fell beside the bonfire and knelt down on one knee.
Seeing that Natsuhi and Fire Fly were back, Uchiha Hikari put down the grilled fish and looked at the two of them. "How is the investigation going?"
"Jiangcao Gold Mountain is determined to have been controlled by the Kurosuki Clan. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, our people have not approached Jiangcao Gold Mountain for the time being. They are only collecting intelligence in the surrounding villages." Natsuhi raised his head slightly and reported.
This mission was led by Uchiha Hikari. Natsuhi and Fire Fly each led three Chunin who performed well in training to form two teams.
The mission goal is to take away Kurosuki Clan who is entrenched in Jiangcao Gold Mountain and headed by Raiga Kurosuki.
If you really can't take that guy Raiga Kurosuki away, you are allowed to kill Raiga Kurosuki and only take away Thunder Blade Fang and some of the Kurosuki Clan's clan members.
