Intelligence!

Entering the River Country, according to Konoha's intelligence, Shuichi Hoshita and his four companions found a cave on a mountain, where people had lived before.

"Looking at the traces, it was at least a month ago."

Uchiha Shisui said.

Shuichi Hoshita looked at the cave, and then took the initiative to say: "Teacher Minato, I'll go outside to check it out."

Namikaze Minato nodded: "Sanyo, you and Shuichi go together."

Kurama Sanyo immediately nodded: "Yes, Teacher Minato."

So Shuichi Hoshita and Kurama Sanyo left the cave and checked nearby.

Soon, Shuichi Hoshita came to the top of the mountain and looked south.

He raised his eyebrows, then took out a monocular telescope from his backpack and looked down the mountain: "There is a village..."

"There are many people, but the farmland seems a little deserted?"

Shuichi Hoshita frowned slightly. He only saw women and old people busy in the farmland, and no young and strong men.

Looking inside the village, there are children playing and occasionally young men can be seen.

Too lazy?

Hiroshita Shuichi put away the telescope, found Kurama Sanyo and reunited with Namikaze Minato, and told him what he had found.

After hearing this, Namikaze Minato said: "Shuiichi, do you suspect that there is something wrong with this village?"

Hiroshita Shuichi nodded: "The village did not give the information about this base without purpose. This is most likely a base for wandering ninjas, but it has been abandoned."

"But there happens to be a village at the foot of the mountain. In fact, this is a good base."

Kurama Sanyo said: "From the traces nearby, someone has indeed lived here for a long time."

Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, in just a few months, it is impossible that there are no traces, unless someone has specially cleaned it up, but obviously not.

Everyone understood what Shuichi Hoshita meant. Assuming that this base was owned by wandering ninjas or bandits, then the village below was likely to have belonged to the sphere of influence of wandering ninjas or bandits in the past, and it was necessary to offer sacrifices.

Then we can get information from it.

"The village is indeed a good place to get information."

Minato Namikaze immediately made a decision: "Then start investigating from the village."

Kurama Sanyo said: "The easiest way is to bring someone back and interrogate him with illusion."

Both he and Uchiha Shisui have this ability.

Rough, direct and simple!

Shuichi Hoshita suggested: "Perhaps we can use a more secretive way to get information."

Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha both knew Shuichi Hoshita's subconscious intention, which was to worry about other situations in the village and external forces.

After all, it was previously speculated that there was a high probability of traces of the Sand Village.

Uchiha Shisui said: "If you want to collect intelligence secretly, then it is best to wait until night."

If you enter during the day, it will be easy to be discovered by using the transformation technique.

After all, you have to get information and do it secretly.

As for going directly to the village to inquire, it will alert the enemy, and strangers entering the village will immediately arouse vigilance.

Sneak in at night, in the dead of night, there will be few traces left by using illusions, and most of the villagers will regard it as a dream.

Namikaze Minato immediately decided: "Then wait until night to sneak into the village."

And Hoshita Shuichi immediately suggested: "Teacher Minato, maybe we can use a simpler way to get familiar with the village first."

Namikaze Minato and the other two immediately looked at Hoshita Shuichi.

Hoshita Shuichi smiled, and the next moment, he turned into a black cat.

Namikaze Minato immediately recognized it as the wild cat in the team's first mission a few days ago.

Uchiha Shisui's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Shuichi's method is indeed very good. A wild cat appearing in this place should not attract attention."

Namikaze Minato smiled and nodded: "Indeed."

Hoshita Shuichi was secretly a little strange at this moment, because he triggered another entry.

[Transformation Master]

Obtaining conditions: Transformation types reach 100 and meet the requirements.

Entry effect: Ever-changing, bird can fly, fish can swim.

The effect is a bit explosive, but the difficulty is also amazing.

Humans are one type, and cats are another type.

He has met the requirements for the human type, but cats have not.

Although there are no defects in appearance, but if Shuichi Hoshita does not master some habits of cats, it is easy to reveal flaws.

But in fact, just 100 types are amazing.

After removing the transformation technique, Hoshita Hideichi looked at Uchiha Shisui and smiled: "You should be more familiar with cat Shisui."

Namikaze Minato also looked at Uchiha Shisui: "Shisui, then this task is handed over to you."

"Understood!"

Uchiha Shisui nodded.

Namikaze Minato immediately said to Kurama Sanyo: "Sanyo, you are responsible for supporting Shisui."

Kurama Sanyo hurriedly said: "Yes, Minato teacher."

Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo took action immediately.

However, Uchiha Shisui, who turned into a wild cat, did not immediately enter the village, but shuttled through the mountains and forests, and quickly found a group of raccoon cats.

So Uchiha Shisui immediately turned into a raccoon cat, and mingled with the raccoon cats for a while, letting himself be contaminated with the smell of wild raccoon cats.

Ordinary transformation techniques have too many shortcomings. Not only chakra, but also smell is difficult to change. It can only be compensated by other methods.

When Shuuichi Hoshita saw all these, he secretly gave a thumbs up.

He learned it.

If he wants to get the term "Transformation Master", animals will be a big choice for him.

…

In the cave, Shuuichi Hoshita practiced the use of Senbon, and time was noon in a flash.

Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo came back together.

"Teacher Minato, Shuuichi's previous speculation was completely correct."

Uchiha Shisui was quite shocked, and then reported the information he had collected.

Although it was just some fragments of chat, it was confirmed that there were two wandering ninjas in the village at the foot of the mountain, and they were also the leaders of the bandits.

And the young and strong men in the village were almost all their subordinates.

At the same time, the two wandering ninjas do have a source of intelligence, and tonight is the time to meet.

And there will be a dispatch tomorrow.

After the intelligence report came out, there was a silence in the cave.

The village is a den of bandits, causing considerable damage to the Fire Country.

Revenge is imperative.

But that is a village.

Should we kill the young and strong who participated in the robbery in the Fire Country, or cut off the roots?

"What a fucked up world..."

Hiroshita Hideichi sighed secretly.

I have heard a lot of similar things in my previous life, but if he were asked to go to the village for revenge, would he feel burdened if he killed everyone or only the young and strong?

Namikaze Minato glanced at the three people and said immediately: "Don't worry about the village at the foot of the mountain. Now we will split into two groups and keep an eye on these two wandering ninjas."

"Yes, Minato-sensei!"

Hoshita Shuichi and the other two gathered their thoughts and responded in unison.

So, Hoshita Shuichi and Namikaze Minato were in one group, and Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo were in another group, and they began to closely monitor the village at the foot of the mountain.

This was a long process.

It was not until late at night that the two wandering ninjas walked out of the village and went west.

Hoshita Shuichi and the others immediately followed and hung far behind.
