This was a simple and easy mission. Even though the bandits were running around everywhere, it wasn't difficult for a jonin like Mikoto to find them.
The Sharingan has extremely strong insight. Although it can't see far, it can see more things in details.
Ordinary Uchiha clan members use this insight in combat, while mature Uchiha clan members can use this insight in tracking and reconnaissance.
In seven days, Mikoto cleared all the traces of bandits mentioned in the commission. But next she planned to relax in the Land of Hot Springs before returning to Konoha.
So, even though the bandits have been cleared out, Mikoto still says that there are still some bandits left and the commissioned mission has not yet ended.
Mikoto asked the other two Genin to team up and look for the bandits, while she acted alone.
While acting alone, she discovered several guys with strange movements.
He was wearing a hooded robe and a mask on his face, concealing his figure in this way. He was most likely a rebel ninja.
The Land of Hot Water and the Land of Fire are adjacent to each other, so there is a possibility that there is a rebel ninja from Konoha.
So, Mikoto followed them secretly, trying to find out the identities of these people.
The behavior of these people was very strange. They would pay attention to the rats that could be seen everywhere on the streets, and then look for large rats in the mountains and fields. When they encountered a few rats that were half a meter long, they would tie a small scroll around their necks and then let them go.
After a few days, on a full moon night, in a valley, three mysterious men in cloaks arrived and waited.
At about midnight, more than a dozen huge rats appeared and surrounded the three men.
"Are you asking to see our rat clan?" one of the big rats suddenly spoke.
This huge rat is not a spiritual rat, but a spiritual rat who is remotely controlling it. Over the past thirty years, the spiritual rats have studied ninjutsu and secret techniques, and now the rat clan has its own unique secret techniques.
"We would like to request to see Lord Mito." One of the mysterious men lifted his cloak, revealing a woman's face and her long red hair.
"My name is Uzumaki Himeko, and I would like to meet Lord Uzumaki Mito and Rat Hermit." Uzumaki Himeko said excitedly.
"Mito? Rat Hermit?... I don't know what you are talking about. If you just want to say such nonsense, then you'd better leave. The Rat Clan does not welcome you." The Shadow Rats knew that their masters, Lord Rat Disaster and Lord Uzumaki Mito, wanted to hide their identities, so they would naturally not expose themselves just because the other party was from the Uzumaki clan.
"...Sure enough, Lord Mito and Rat Hermit don't want to see us." Uzumaki Himeko was a little disappointed, but did not give up.
"If we can't see Lord Mito and Rat Hermit, then we won't leave." Uzumaki Himeko said firmly.
"I said, there is no Lord Mito, and there is no Rat Hermit. Since you want to stay in the Country of Hot Springs, it's up to you. Just don't provoke our Rat Clan." The big rat said this impatiently and was about to leave.
"Please wait, we want to meet your leader." said Uzumaki Himeko.
"Our leader doesn't have the time to see you." replied the rat.
"If you are worried that we have ill intentions, we are willing to wear shackles just to see you," said Uzumaki Himeko.
"Aren't you afraid of being killed by us? Or do you think that we, the rat race, are naturally harmless?" The big rat sneered.
"Of course we don't think so. We even know that the Rat Clan feeds on human corpses. But even if we risk being killed and eaten, we are willing to give it a try." Uzumaki Himeko replied.
Seeing Uzumaki Himeko say this, the spirit rat man in the distance thought for a moment and then agreed.
It asked Shuo Shu to bring handcuffs, shackles and ropes to put on others. It even took off all their clothes to ensure that they did not hide any weapons.
However, these three are all women, and they are very beautiful. I don't know if it is a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement.
Uchiha Mikoto continued to follow in secret and soon came to a cave. She entered the cave and came to an underground cave.
The three girls, Uzumaki Himeko, were naked, with their hands handcuffed behind their backs, shackles on their feet, and ropes wrapped around their necks. The ropes had multiple ends and were held in the mouths of a dozen rats.
"She's quite beautiful." In the cave, the rat man who had previously controlled the huge rat looked at the naked bodies of girls and said greedily.
"Our bodies are dedicated to the Rat Immortal. If you are not the Rat Immortal, please don't defile our bodies." Uzumaki Himeko said coldly.
"Offer to the Rat Immortal?... Let's not talk about whether the so-called Rat Immortal exists or not, what do you mean by this?" The rat man asked vigilantly.
"Stop pretending. We all have no ability to resist. Why don't you be honest with each other? The Rat Hermit is the leader of the Rat Clan, and our elder, Lady Uzumaki Mito, is the woman of the Rat Hermit." Uzumaki Himeko said affirmatively.
"My grandmother once served Lord Mito. She accidentally saw Lord Mito and Rat Hermit... having sex." Uzumaki Himeko said somewhat shamefully.
"Since the Rat Hermit likes human women, then for our purpose, we are willing to use our bodies to serve the Rat Hermit." Uzumaki Himeko said.
"You... are really confident." The rat man was speechless.
First, they were confident in the existence of the Rat Immortal, second, they were confident in the relationship between Mito and the Rat Immortal, third, they were confident that they could meet the Rat Immortal, and fourth, they were confident that they could be accepted by the Rat Immortal.
"Who is it?!" Suddenly, the rat man became alert and looked towards the cave entrance not far away.
Just a moment ago, he felt a fluctuation of breath.
Uchiha Mikoto at the entrance of the cave knew she was discovered, and she fled in a hurry with an excited look on her face. She didn't expect that this accidental trip would lead to the discovery of such important information.
Uzumaki Mito, she knew this person. When the Senju clan went to pick up the bride but the bride was lost, they were severely ridiculed by the Uchiha clan.
Mikoto quickly got out of the cave and fled directly to the outside of Hot Spring Country.
However, just as she was about to escape from the Land of Hot Springs, she was stopped.
Black shadows were floating around Mikoto. An old man in pajamas and leaning on a cane walked out from the shadows and stood in front of Mikoto.
