Chapter 157 Yugakure

"It's rare for us to come to the Land of Hot Water, so let's play here for a day."

Shikuro waited for Kanpū to return, and said, "This country's hot spring is called the best in the Shinobi World, you should like it."

"Thank you, Shikuro-sensei." Shisui smiled and said.

Yui has no comments.

However, Kanpū was suspicious in his heart. Thinking of his previous speculation, he hurriedly put down the matter of shadow clone, and said earnestly: "Shikuro-sensei, let's go back. It's a time of war now. You also said that Kumogakure may invade this country at any time, so the risk of staying here is too great. What if we encounter Kumogakure's Shinobi? Moreover, there are hot springs in our village, why bother to soak in here?"

After hearing his words, Shisui thought that it made sense, and couldn't help but nod his head.

Yui still has no comments.

Shikuro stopped talking and just looked at Kanpū, but he was wearing big sunglasses, so Kanpū couldn't see his eyes.

However, it must be very interesting.

Kanpū had previously deduced that Shikuro chose this escort mission deliberately. If he went back directly after escorting the client, why would he come all the way to Land of Hot Water?

After a while, Shikuro said: "Did you notice something?"

Seeing that Shikuro wanted him to openly announce it, Kanpū nodded immediately and said with a smile: "At first, I thought that Shikuro-sensei selects the mission randomly. After all, you don't even read the content of the mission scroll. However, the strange thing is that even the quest scroll doesn't mention the purpose of Shirada Shinji's purpose of coming to the Land of Fire, but Shikuro-sensei can directly relate the situation in the Shinobi World, and even the alliance between Land of Hot Water and our Land of Fire and Land of Lightning. At that time, I guessed that Shikuro-sensei already knew the whole story of this mission, so this mission was deliberately chosen for the purpose of coming to the Land of Hot Water in a fair way!"

Shisui and Yui looked at each other in shock when they heard this: 'Is that true? I didn't notice it at all.'

Shikuro did not deny it, and said in a calm tone: "Go on."

"At that time, it was just my guess, but now that we have completed the mission, we obviously can go back directly, but Shikuro-sensei suddenly said that we should go and play in the hot spring for a day, which makes me more sure of my guess." Kanpū said.

Shisui and Yui also looked Shikuro silently.

Shikuro sighed silently and said: "You are smarter than I thought, but…"

"But what?" Kanpū eyelids twitched: 'He wouldn't be so embarrassed that he would let out his insects to bite me, right?'

Shikuro looked at Kanpū, then at Shisui and Yui, and sink into contemplation.

He did come to the Land of Hot Water because of a mission. He didn't want Kanpū's group of three to participate, but since he was seen through, he would give them a chance.

Shikuro smiled and said: "I do have a mission for the trip to the Land of Hot Water this time… Kanpū, since you are so smart, can you guess what my mission is? If you can guess correctly, I can let you guys follow me."

'Does this still have to be guessed?'

Kanpū already knew what the answer is and said proudly: "Shikuro-sensei's mission must be related to the alliance, and there are only two people who can determine the alliance between the Land of Hot Water and our Land of Fire, one is Land of Hot Water's Daimyō, and the other one is the leader of Yugakure! Shirota Shinji represents the Land of Hot Water's Daimyō, so Shikuro-sensei's goal this time is very obvious."

Shikuro smiled and said: "Are you still going to soak in the hot springs?"

Kanpū shook his head and said: "No need."

"Then keep up."

After saying that, Shikuro turned around and left. His destination is naturally Yugakure.

Shisui and Yui followed, and it took a while for them to react.

"Kanpū, from the crisis public relations, I found that you are very smart, but I didn't expect you to be smarter than I thought!" Shisui approached Kanpū and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Shhh..."

Kanpū's face straightened, "Pay attention to your identity, Shisui, you are the strongest genius of the Uchiha Clan. If you praise me so shamelessly, who knows what would your clan think?"

"…"

Suddenly, Shisui had no desire to speak.

As they were walking, Shikuro in the front started to run, and his speed gradually increased. Kanpū's group of three immediately followed, and ate a military ration pill halfway through, but can only barely follow him.

After running for a long time, the group of four came to a steam-laden village.

"This is Yugakure."

After Shikuro stopped, he took out a small water bottle and took a sip, then immediately walked in.

"Yugakure's hot spring is the best in the Shinobi World."

Kanpū looked at the water vapor floating in the depths of the village, and thought of Jiraiya, 'That guy must like to come here to soak in the hot spring very much.'

As soon as the group approached Yugakure, they were spotted and intercepted by a vigilant Yugakure's Shinobi.

"Why did Konoha's Shinobi appear here?" The tone of Yugakure's Shinobi who blocked the road was not very friendly.

"Hokage-sama has a letter to be handed to the leader of Yugakure." Shikuro said, "Please take us to see him."

The Yugakure's Shinobi frowned when he heard this.

Now that Konoha and Sunagakure are at war, Kumogakure also begins to stir. Several waves of Kumogakure's Shinobi have come to see their leader, but now, they didn't expect that even Konoha's Shinobi have come.

If it is not handled well, Yugakure and even the Land of Hot Water may become the next Amegakure and the Land of Rain, and become a battlefield between great countries!

Although he wanted to drive away Shikuro and his group away, this Yugakure's Shinobi knew that he did not have the power and could not afford to bear the consequences, so he had no choice but to take them into the village obediently.

Kanpū followed in a low-key manner. After entering Yugakure, he looked around, and found that the people in Yugakure were exuding a relaxed, laid-back, and peaceful aura, and didn't even have the slightest worry about the friction between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire.

'Their heart is really big.'

It didn't take long for everyone to arrive under a building.

"This is where our leader work, come with me."

This Yugakure's Shinobi brought Kanpū's group of four to a small conference room, and then went to inform the leader of Yugakure.

Kanpū sat for a while, and sighed: "If I knew this is all we do, I would have soaked in the hot spring in the Land of Hot Water's capital."

Shikuro chuckled softly and said, "This is your own choice."

"Then, now that we are in Yugakure, is it okay to soak in the hot spring?" Kanpū asked.

"According to the information, Kumogakure is also trying to rope Yugakure. If you are not afraid of encountering Kumogakure's Shinobi, you can soak in the hot spring here." Shikuro said threateningly.

Kanpū laughed dryly when he heard this.

Shisui suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "Shikuro-sensei, then if we went to soak in a hot spring in the Land of Hot Water's capital, are you not worried about us meeting Kumogakure's Shinobi?"

"Country is against country, Shinobi Village is against Ninja Village, this is the customary rule of the Shinobi World."

Shikuro continued, "Otherwise, the Land of Wind's Daimyō and our country's Daimyō will all face the infinite assassination of the opponent! Therefore, even if you meet in Land of Hot Water's capital, you will only meet the subordinate of the Land of Lightning's Daimyō. At present, our two countries have not started a war yet, and they won't make it difficult for you, after all… Politicians and Shinobi are different."

'And I'll also leave a shadow clone.'

However, Shikuro didn't say these words, lest they do things without fear in the future.

At the same time, the door of the small conference room opened, and Kanpū and the others looked inside, they saw an old man in his seventies or eighties walking in tremblingly with a cane.

"Welcome to Yugakure, I am Yugakage, Komatsu Chiharu." The old man stood still, his eyes are cloudy but kindly looking at Kanpū.

Kanpū is stunned when he saw him: 'This is Yugakage?'

'A Kage of a village?'
