Chapter 569 Finding No Trace

At this time of year, the Land of Fire has already been snowing heavily, and even though the countries further south are colder, snowy days may be rare for several years.

The cold wind hit, Sasuke couldn't help tightening his neckline.

It's been a while since I came to this country, and the rumored mission target still hasn't been found.

This is not a very big place, Sasuke has checked back and forth several times, except for some uninhabited ruins and unfounded rumors, he has never seen any creatures related to monsters or murderers.

If things go on like this, the assessment task that was so hard won this time is very likely to fail. As for the promotion to Jnin, it is naturally impossible.

The original application for promotion to Jonin was criticized. If the mission fails, it is estimated that there will be no such good opportunity for a long time.

Sasuke will never miss every challenge to prove his strength and strength, especially when he thinks that Uchiha Itachi has surpassed him in the same period, the sense of urgency in his heart becomes even more overwhelming.

On the road that man had walked, if he couldn't surpass him, how could he possibly kill this man for revenge?

"Murderer? Don't say that you can't beat him now, you can't even see a shadow, what should you do?"

How can we properly complete the task? At least one good evaluation must be obtained, which is the most basic bottom line. Otherwise, those who want to push him up will not even be able to say good things.

Sasuke, who returned in vain again, had no choice but to return to the town where he was temporarily resting. He used the transformation technique to hide his true identity, and it was too easy for him to deceive these unseen civilians.

Although the mission didn't make much progress, Sasuke was rewarded after these few days of investigation, not finding a very conspicuous anomaly in itself.

You must know that the killing incident that alarmed a country will definitely not be based on false rumors, and the possibility of groundless rumors is very small. Since Konoha can release high-level tasks with real money, it must not be a trivial matter.

But the strange thing is that he was able to evade his inspection, and even Sharingan couldn't find any clues. It was obvious that someone was helping to cover up the traces, so that means...

"It's not a simple irrational killing, at least one or a group of elite ninjas are helping to cover up the truth."

The enemy's purpose cannot be judged at all, but the originally expected clear-cut tasks such as clearing monsters or exterminating bandits are definitely impossible.

"A powerful ninja? It happens to be a good opportunity to test your strength!"

It would be great to have a sufficient amount of the enemy's head as a sacrifice for his promotion to Jonin.

After thinking for a long time, Sasuke took out a pen and paper, recorded the latest progress of the mission, and brought it back to the village with Anbe's unique herald bird.

Although confident in his own strength, Sasuke is not arrogant enough to be stupid. To do such a dangerous and strange task alone, one must maintain the necessary contact with the village. Even if something happens in the end, one can still expect the village to rescue him. How to use all the combat power he can count on is his greatest strength during this time. feelings and gains.

As night fell, Sasuke pushed open the window of the room, and looked at the popular street outside the window with some laziness.

"Huh!"

Sasuke was a little distracted at first, but unexpectedly saw some incongruous phenomena,

"It's getting dark. It stands to reason that all the birds should return to their nests. Why are some still shuttling back and forth?"

As far as the eye can see, several crows and sparrows, which are obviously not nocturnal animals such as night owls, are wandering in this small town.

"Could it be that……"

Sasuke closed the window vigilantly, and after gathering his composure, he opened a crack secretly, opened Sharingan, and carefully observed these suspicious birds.

"Sure enough, there is a problem. Could it be that they followed me?"

Birds have limited IQ. If they are not specially bred Ninja Beasts, they are not sensitive to the differences in human appearance. It just so happens that they have used the transformation technique to disguise themselves.

Although it was a bit disturbing to be targeted by the sight of the enemy that he might enter, at least it was confirmed that the enemy did exist, and it was not a simple thing.

For a ninja, the most terrifying thing is not a strong enemy, but the unknown unknown. As long as there is speculation, no matter how strong a ninja is, after obtaining sufficient information, they can arrange tactical responses, and everything can be manipulated.

"Mr. Mizuki is right. Knowledge is not a bad thing. Learn more knowledge that seems useless. Maybe it will come in handy at any time!"

After a few days of grievances, Sasuke finally relieved, simply turned off the lights in the room, let go of all his thoughts and began to replenish his physical strength. After several days of non-stop action, his body was a little bit overwhelmed.

...

Since leaving the cage of self-restraint, Chongwu can't remember how long it has been.

Except when the curse mark broke out and turned into a murderer, I had been staying in the dark underground cave for shelter, and the sword-wielding boy who was still with me had long since left.

No matter how good your temper is, you won't have the patience to stay by your side when you face a person who ignores you, not to mention that you may lose control and kill him all the time.

Looking at the fearful eyes of the young man who claimed to be a ghost lamp and water moon, Chongwu knew that the other party was not the same as himself, and he would never be able to be the one who clamped down on his out-of-control self like the long-dead Kaguya-kun Maro. Put on the shackles. Therefore, I am not at all interested in this guy with a malicious smile on his face, and I don't want to talk to him.

Chongwu always remembers that day, when a sudden big explosion turned the original base upside down, Chongwu was so shocked that he couldn't control the desire to kill.

The last impression that came into view was a strange red cloud royal robe with a black background. After that, Chongwu rushed up without hesitation, and the development of the next thing was completely unclear. When he woke up again, the ghost lantern Shuiyue who had malicious intentions was already by his side.

It seemed that the young man chattered a lot in his ear, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and couldn't remember exactly what he said. He just followed the instinct of survival and came all the way from the sea to this place.

Shuiyue was still with herself until not long ago, and finally couldn't bear it and left alone.

I am just using my talent to communicate with small animals in nature to detect the movement outside and try to stay away from human habitation as much as possible. As for where to go in the future, I intend to find the Orochimaru I once promised, but I can't find the direction at all.
