Land Wind.
Walking on the winding sand dunes, Sasori's young face had a grim expression behind his robe.
Looking towards the distant sky, he muttered in frustration, “There's nothing here too?”
For the past 10 days, he had searched the major cities, black markets, and even some Oases on the commercial routes connecting most of the cities in the Land of Wind, he said, but he found nothing. It was as if the traces of Hyuga Kuroto disappeared just like that.
Ever since he managed to find out Hyuga Kuroto's true identity, Sasori had made plans to take revenge on the bastard!
The only obstacle was that he was unable to track down the boy.
Hyuga Kuroto is a member of Konoha's Anbu Black Ops, so his whereabouts are known only to Hokage and his teammates.
Once he left the village, the boy had to undertake a secret mission under the direction of the Hokage, so his position could not be traced at all.
This time, Sasori finally got some tips from black market informants, and he thought he could finally hunt down the boy so Sasori rushed from the Fatherland all the way to the Land of Wind only to find nothing!
It seemed like the child had long since left the Land of Wind.
“Stay alive while you still can, because lady luck will not always help you!” – after saying these words with a cold snort, Sasori wrapped his robe tightly and walked towards the Rain Country…
…
Land of Fire, in the thick forest…
Kuroto lands on a tree branch from flight and gasps as the Tenseigan's Chakra Mode fades.
Since Kuroto was unable to use all of his Chakras to keep the Kazekage puppet active in the Land of Wind, he only had access to half of his total Chakra Volume. Therefore, he can activate the Tenseigan Chakra Mode for only five-six minutes.
Therefore, he must continue to rest and recover chakra to continue his flight.
Fortunately, Kuroto's flying speed was extremely fast while in the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, so even if he traveled for a short period of time, it was much faster than his normal running speed.
While chewing on the Military Ration Pill, Kuroto unfurled the map on the ground and carefully looked at the route he had followed.
It had been two whole days since he had slipped out of the village, and according to the plan, he should be able to cross the territory of the Land of Fire and immediately enter the territory of the Land of Rivers.
The main reason why it took him so long was because Kuroto chose a route that was too far away for human travel.
Along the way, he had only seen endless forests in sight, including the mountain he occasionally passed by, with a few small cliffs, rivers, swamps, and valleys.
In fact, Kuroto was also helpless, so she had to choose this route.
The mode of the Tenseigan Chakra was too attention-grabbing, and if he did not take the long-distance route, he would definitely be recognized by the perceptual ninjas present in the Konoha Guard posts scattered throughout the Land of Fire.
So, despite being troublesome, Kuroto had to use this way.
A few days later he finally crossed the border of the River Country and entered the territory of the Wind Country.
After entering the desert, Kuroto did not hurry and felt the position of the Kazekage puppet.
As he sensed his position, he suddenly opened his eyes in surprise, “Away!”
The reason for his shock was the Kazekage puppet tracking the survivors of Roran was about 200 miles away from its current position.
Opening the map, he drew a few dots with a pen.
His starting point was the location where he left the Kazekage puppet before returning to the Land of Fire. Using that point as the center of the circle, he scanned the map and finally locked his gaze on an Oasis named ‘Manto’.
Drawing a circle in a certain Oasis, Kuroto muttered softly, “This should be the next stop!”
‘Manto’ is a semi-popular Oasis in the Land of the Wind, and an important detail to note is that the Oasis is located along the main Trade Route, and based on the trajectory followed by the Coran Survivors Caravan, the, ‘Manto’ this should be their next stop.
It takes another 2 days to reach ‘Manto’ after high-speed flight.
In these 2 days, the Roran Survivors also arrived in Manto.
After arriving in Manto, Kuroto did not rush to see Queen Roran but chose to return the Kazekage puppet and restore its peak state.
Wrapping the black robe on her body along with the mask with the demonic look she bought at the market, Kuroto made sure to hide her identity as much as possible.
He did not want to leave any traces that could lead someone to him for stealing the Dragon Vein.
After doing all the preparations, Kuroto waited for nightfall.
With the setting of the Sun, the moon appears high in the sky.
Today many campfires are lit with groups of two or three people sitting around it while doing various activities, such as chatting, dancing, playing games, cooking, etc, in short enjoy a rare free time in the day when they forget all their problems.
Queen Sara did not sit around with the others but took care of her young son alone while humming a lullaby in her private tent.
Under the cover of the night, Kuroto sneaks into the Queen's tent without telling anyone, and whispers in a low voice to attract the attention of Queen Sara who was sidetracked in grief, “What are you thinking?”
Sara was shocked when she suddenly heard the voice, quickly carrying the baby in her arms, she said, he pulled the dagger as he retreated to a corner and looked at the person wearing the black robe and the red devil mask vigilantly, and asked, “A-who Are you!?”
Kuroto looked at the Dagger while thinking, ‘That must be the Konoha Chakra Sword that Naruto left behind!’
But for him, this is fine because he said lightly, “Don't be too nervous, I'm just here to make a deal with you.”
Queen Sara murmured confusedly, “Create a deal?”
In their tribe there was nothing valuable except a few animals, so he could not think of anything that might interest anyone, either, therefore he did not relax his vigilance due to the words of the masked man.
At the same time, he was smart enough not to ask for help, because he understood that someone sneaking here without telling anyone outside could only mean that that person was a ninja.
And if that was the case, then asking for help would only put his people in danger, the fact that this person was here and did not hurt anyone outside meant that he was not here with the intention of killing their entire tribe, so negotiations were still possible, he said, as long as the other party was satisfied, he should not take drastic measures.
The question is, what is he chasing?
Kuroto nodded, “Ya, make a deal!”
Queen Sara wanted to say something, but out of nervousness and panic, she coughed, and her cough did not stop at all, it seemed that she even had difficulty breathing.
Seeing her condition, Kuroto activated her Tenseigan and scanned her body, she was surprised to find many of her blood vessels were frozen; affecting blood flow, then there was also a blockage in her lungs, from the looks of her being seriously ill.
Kuroto frowned when she realized this, “You're sick!”
While trying to catch her breath, Sara said weakly, “I..
Looking around his tent that did not have a very hygienic atmosphere, Kuroto said deeply, “You need immediate medical treatment, otherwise, you need to, your condition will continue to deteriorate and you will not be able to survive even a few more years.”
Gazing strangely at the masked person, Queen Sara asked with a serious expression, “Who are you really? What do you want from me? And why do you care about my well-being??”
“Don't I already say it, I'm here to make a deal with you!”
However, Sara shook her head, “I can't think of anything I can sell!”
“Actually, you did it! You have a priceless treasure in your hands. ” After a short pause, Kuroto continued with a mocking smile, “Only this priceless treasure is actually useless to you and your people!”
When the masked person said this, Queen Sara realized what the stranger meant as she muttered with a horrifying expression, “K-you chased after the Dragon Vein!!”
