After hearing what Deidara said, everyone subconsciously looked towards the distance. They saw that this place happened to be a high slope. Looking down from the high slope, they found that the shrubs and grass in the distance began to become sparse. Looking further away, there were only large stretches of gravel Gobi.
In the gravel desert, there were several ninjas wearing Sand Ninja costumes, looking around boredly.
Looking at the rocky desert in the distance, Lu Yu frowned and immediately raised his right hand and made a fist to indicate a pause.
Everyone stopped subconsciously and looked at Lu Yu speechlessly.
After spending time together for a while, they became somewhat clear about the leader's temper. Most likely, the big boss made this gesture to...
"Ahem, everyone, please pause for a moment and listen to me."
"The opposite side is Land of Wind. Although there is Gobi in front of you, if you go further, you will see endless yellow sand."
"As we all know, Land of Wind is a desert country. If we travel during the day, the desert will reflect the sun's rays and cause irreversible damage to our eyes, so I decided to travel at night."
Desert reflects sun rays?
Chief, we brought a magic mirror...
If you dislike the heat and don't want to move, just say so...
Lu Yu looked at the suspicious expressions on everyone's face and coughed twice:
"Okay, okay, at least the environment here is pretty good. Now let's find a good place to rest."
After saying this, Lu Yu led everyone to a mountain forest that he had already seen.
There are mountains, water and streams here, which is most suitable for salted fish like Lu Yu to enjoy life.
After finding a temporary station, Lu Yu winked at Naruto, Sasuke and everyone else.
Sasuke and Naruto looked at Lu Yu's eyes and started working like a conditioned reflex.
I saw the Naruto body immediately starting to set up a pot and looking for wood.
Sasuke, on the other hand, took out the big fish and wild boar caught not long ago from Sealing Scroll, and began to work skillfully.
Akatsuki everyone saw this and got busy in a tacit understanding. Angle and Hidan began to tie the hammock to the tree, while Weasel and Kisame began to follow Lu Yu's instructions to look for medicinal materials or wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Deidara rode the giant bird and scorpion towards the depths of the forest, looking for new prey.
If Pain were here and saw this scene, I would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.
None of these people in front of them is a strong one, and they are at least Kage Level in strength. At this time, they are willing to lower themselves and do such inconspicuous things.
Lu Yu, Hinata, and Ino begin to tell the history of Land of Wind.
"... Precisely because the environment where Land of Wind is located is harsh, they are the country that most hopes to launch a war. Only through war can they obtain fertile land and improve the people's living standards."
"So, when Master First Hokage distributed Tailed Beast to various countries, the first generation Kazekage would rather not have Tailed Beast, but also choose supplies. This is the reason..."
The two women listened to their sweethearts talk, and the history of Land of Wind was explained in detail. For a moment, their eyes were filled with little stars.
Lu Yu enjoyed the admiration of the two women. He felt ready for a moment and announced with a wave of his hand:
"Come on, come on, I'm happy today, I'll cook it myself!"
After saying that, Lu Yu came to Naruto and Sasuke in the eyes of everyone and said cheerfully:
"Okay, you two have a day off today, I'll do the surgery."
Looking at the fire that Sasuke had lit in front of him, Lu Yu took out an oversized pot and hoisted it to the shelf above the fire.
Then fill half of the pot with water, put in the tenderloin of several giant snakes caught on the road, then add the native product of the forest - pheasant, then add less than salt and cooking wine, as well as various seasonings picked from the forest, and finally cover the pot.
After completing this, Lu Yu grinned at everyone who looked at him curiously.
"This is the legendary dragon and phoenix soup. I'll give you a feast today. Well, there are a lot of people. Let's get some grilled fish!"
With that said, Lu Yu took out a dozen wooden thorns handed over by Naruto, then put the fish Sasuke had killed on them, spread the seasoning on them, and placed them around the fire to roast.
Grilling fish is much faster than cooking meat. It only took ten minutes to bake. Everyone couldn't help but smell the aroma coming from the grilled fish.
Kisame Shark's face is full of shock:
"Hmm... As expected of a leader, he can even make a simple grilled fish so tempting. Then what will the so-called dragon and phoenix soup taste like..."
Lu Yu smiled and passed the grilled fish to the guys who were swallowing their saliva. At the same time, he took out the raw fish and spread the seasoning on it and continued grilling.
Deidara took the grilled fish and couldn't help but take a bite. His eyes widened instantly and he couldn't help but sigh:
"The taste, the texture, the control over the heat... it's amazing!"
After saying this, Deidara didn't care that the freshly grilled fish was burning his mouth, and wolfed it down in a few bites.
Naruto, Sasuke and others looked at the shocked expressions of Deidara, Kisame and others with smiles, and thought with a smile, it must have been the same when they ate the grilled fish cooked by the boss for the first time.
By the time everyone had finished eating the dozens of grilled fish, the fish that had been put on the table were ready to eat again.
Lu Yu While roasting, everyone ate, and when they had time, they added a few pieces of wood to the fire under the pot. After a while, the pot began to emit an attractive aroma.
Smelling this aroma, Lu Yu immediately opened the lid of the pot, and an extremely fragrant smell spread out instantly. Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva just by smelling this smell.
When they looked at the white broth boiling inside, and the "dragon and phoenix meat" that appeared from time to time, they were filled with the sound of "gugu" swallowing.
Lu Yu looked at everyone with a smile:
"Well, the dragon and phoenix soup is ready. Let me explain in advance that the correct way to eat it is to drink the soup first and then eat the meat. This thing is a great tonic..."
After saying this, Lu Yu glanced meaningfully at Hinata and Ino. The result was that Hinata fainted in embarrassment, while Ino secretly pinched him hard.
After finishing all the hundreds of fish caught yesterday and adding a large pot of broth in one go, everyone held their overstuffed bellies and staggered towards the hammocks that had been tied up.
Afterwards, everyone struggled to climb onto the hammock, covered their faces with sun hats, and rested without Bian...
I slept for a long time, and when everyone opened their eyes again, it was already night time.
Night had already fallen, and the weather that was originally sultry suddenly cooled down. Feeling the change in the outside temperature, the corners of Lu Yu's mouth suddenly turned up.
Everyone felt the coolness of the night and couldn't help but give Lu Yu a thumbs up:
"I have to say that the leader has the foresight. Such cool weather is perfect for traveling."
"And the meal during the day was so delicious. The dragon and phoenix soup is truly the best in the world."
Lu Yu looked at the group of members who were starting to go astray and couldn't help but smile and said:
"Okay, okay, I'll let you guys say a few more words before I drift off. Let's take advantage of the cool weather and get rid of Land of Wind tonight."
After a day's rest, everyone's mental state has undoubtedly reached the best state. When they heard Lu Yu say this, their eyes suddenly opened and they were as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Everyone had been idle for almost a month. At this time, the leader personally said that it was time to take action. It was impossible not to be excited.
Anyway, the leader said that to deal with an enemy like Land of Wind, you should be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Just throw a big move and be done with it.
Nodding with satisfaction at everyone's reactions, Lu Yu looked at Deidara and said:
"Xiao Di, get us seven giant birds and launch a night attack tonight."
"Yes, leader!"
Watching Deidara start to make the giant bird, Lu Yu looked to Hinata aside:
"Hinata, use your Byakugan to see where Sand Ninja is."
"Yes!"
Hinata nodded, immediately closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then quickly concentrated chakra in his eyes.
"Byakugan!"
The next moment, Hinata's vision became clear, he pointed to the west and said to Lu Yu:
"There are quite a few Sand Ninja over there."
Lu Yu nodded and said:
"Naruto, you ride the giant bird to the west. After bypassing Sand Ninja, you will definitely encounter the desert. Then use Shadow Clone to explore the path. There is no need to hide your whereabouts. Come back after you are done."
"Yes, boss!"
Naruto heard the words and agreed, then rode the giant bird and flew towards Land of Wind.
Because he was flying at a very high altitude and the visibility was relatively low at night, he was not discovered by the Sand Ninjas guarding the border.
However, Naruto soon became lost.
In front of you is an endless desert, and you don't know where to go.
The characteristics of the desert are such that even if someone walked through here not long ago, they will completely disappear when the wind blows.
Faced with this situation, Naruto remembered Lu Yu's words, immediately lowered the flying altitude, and raised his hands Hand Seals:
"Boss is really clever. In this case, I'm afraid the only option is to use Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu."
You must know that the biggest feature and advantage of Shadow Clone is that when it disappears, everything it sees will be conveyed to the main body, which is very practical in investigation.
Bang!
The next moment, countless Naruto jumped off the giant bird and started looking for directions in all directions.
"Everyone search ahead. If you find anything, please notify me immediately!"
"Okay!"
Under Naruto's instructions, Shadow Clone set off in a fan shape and soon disappeared into the distance...
Naruto While Land of Wind began to work hard to explore the road, Lu Yu had already started dinner...
Everyone watched eagerly as Lu Yu grilled meat leisurely, smelling the rich aroma of meat from the barbecue. Their stomachs, which were not too hungry at first, suddenly felt unbearable.
Akatsuki No one could have imagined that this leader, who usually had salted fish at home, could cook so deliciously. They instantly felt that today was so happy.
Not only can you feast your eyes on it, but you can even have a good fight later.
Twenty minutes later, everyone eagerly took the barbecue handed over by Lu Yu, took a bite, and almost shed tears...
A simple roasted wild boar is made Lu Yu crispy and fragrant. When you bite it, it not only tastes good, oily but not greasy, but also the meat is full of elasticity. The aroma of the roasted meat combined with the seasonings greatly increases everyone's appetite.
Then, everyone enjoyed eating wild boar meat and drinking the soda they brought comfortably. Many people recalled that when they and others went on a mission, they instantly felt that one was in the sky and the other was on the ground.
In the past, when traveling on missions, I had to be careful and cautious, and visit places in advance to collect information...
Now we are doing a mission. A dozen Kage Level strong men are acting at the same time. There is even a boss who seems to be almost invincible. They are traveling around the mountains and rivers all the way. They can even enjoy such delicious food before going on a mission...
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but sigh:
This task is really too comfortable...
Seeing that everyone was full, Lu Yu leaned against the tree trunk and happily told Hinata and Ino all kinds of strange stories that they had never heard before.
As they talked, the two girls happily fell asleep leaning on Lu Yu's shoulders, while Lu Yu surrounded the two girls with a satisfied look on their faces, yawned lazily, leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes and took a nap...
I don't know how long it took, but Naruto finally came back.
At this time, Naruto looked embarrassed. Obviously, this investigation trip was quite difficult.
Naruto came to Lu Yu in a few steps and said excitedly:
"Boss, I already know the terrain of Land of Wind, and there is a direct route to Sunagakure."
Lu Yu nodded, looked at Deidara and said:
"Xiao Di, the giant bird is ready, everyone's target - Sunagakure, let's go!"
