Hanyu couldn't hear the robbers' unfortunate conversation, but luckily Tsunade couldn't hear it either.
However, Hanyu did not do anything wrong, and even if he did something wrong, the laws of the River Country would not apply to the Konoha ninjas. What's more, the two Konoha ninjas soon left the River Country and came to the Wind Country where sand and dust were everywhere.
Because the country is covered with deserts, Hanyu and Tsunade did not wander around here as they did before, but went directly to Daimyo Castle in the Land of Wind.
The difference in natural environment is sometimes like this. The Kingdom of Wind is a country with severe desertification, while the natural conditions of the small countries around it are much better. In other words, although the Kingdom of Wind has national strength, it does not have high-quality land. Small countries with high-quality land are difficult to annex... It has to be said that the people who laid the foundation for the world pattern many years ago were actually a bit damaged.
Maybe he is not that mean, but his brother is definitely very mean.
After arriving in the Land of Wind, Hanyu and Tsunade's movement speed also increased. After only a day of eating sand, they arrived at the Daimyo Castle in the Land of Wind, which has a very unique architectural style.
After the two of them sneaked into the city, Hanyu's eyes looked in one direction... It has to be said that no matter how unique the architectural style is, the place where the head of a country lives is always particularly conspicuous.
Just look for the largest building in the city.
"Hanyu?"
Tsunade's voice brought Hanyu, who was lost in thought, back to his senses.
"Nothing. Let's go investigate outside the palace first. If the defense level here is limited, then we can find a chance to go inside the palace. Maybe we'll get some unexpected gains... After all, our mission is to collect intelligence. We can't just report a local situation report to the village."
Hanyu said this, and he also understood matters like feelings.
"Palace City... there shouldn't be any problems. The Fire Nation has only had a systematic defensive barrier in recent years, and the Wind Nation is already a bit weaker, so they may not have the spare capacity for that for the time being.
At most, Sunagakure will send some ninjas to guard here, just like our Twelve Warriors."
Tsunade said this, and this judgment is consistent with Hanyu's... She is a ninja who has received the most orthodox education and is not a vase, so it is normal for her to have such judgment.
And if she didn't like gambling, it would be perfect.
After the two of them secretly explored the situation of Daming City, they did not detect any special defensive barriers. So after avoiding the eyes and ears, they successfully sneaked into Daming City without encountering any major difficulties.
In every sense, Hanyu is a person who has a strong affinity with the word "daimyo". However, this time he entered the daimyo's palace in the Kingdom of Wind, not to assassinate the daimyo.
The current world situation is stable, there is no reason for him to cause any trouble, and this is not the way to seek excitement.
Moreover, in various senses, assassinating the daimyo of an enemy country is an unnecessary act. Although the internal affairs of the ninja village and the daimyo of a country are a unified entity, they are actually two systems that retain a considerable degree of independence from each other.
To put it more simply, the death of a daimyo will not have any significant impact on the ninja village, unless the new daimyo can make the decision to completely cut off the ninja village's financial supply, but that is impossible... How did the previous daimyo of the Land of Fire die? This is a vivid example.
Hanyu and Tsunade sneaked into Daimyo Castle like ghosts and stayed there for three days. During this period they did not reveal their identities, but instead found out the locations of the eight Sunagakure guardian ninjas.
As for whether there are other ninjas in secret, Hanyu cannot be sure. After all, this is the Land of Wind. Out of caution, he will not act too recklessly.
And while they were being cautious, who could have thought that two Konoha ninjas would sneak in here.
But for three consecutive days, the two did not find anything valuable here. They just kept wandering around the beams, ventilation ducts and other places of the tall palace.
Tsunade lives a life similar to that of a mouse, is as active as a fat otaku, and has not obtained any special information, so she feels a little tired.
She opened her mouth as if she was going to yawn, but at this moment, Hanyu suddenly covered her mouth and signaled her to be quiet.
Tsunade was startled by his sudden movement, but didn't make any sound. She nodded silently to Hanyu to show that she understood, and then Hanyu let go of her hand.
The sound of conversation came into the ears of the two people from far away.
"Even if we have no special ambitions towards the two surrounding countries, the Kingdom of Rivers to the east and the Kingdom of Birds to the north should be under our control. Daimyo-sama, it's not that we are warlike, but the land of the Kingdom of Winds is too barren. We need more fertile territory."
"But whether it's the Fire Nation or the Earth Nation, they will definitely not allow us to seize the surrounding small countries and expand our territory."
"Yes, once we make such a move, Konoha and Iwagakure will definitely respond immediately, and they may even go to war... The third party will not allow the Wind Country to become stronger."
"War, whether it's economic or military strength, does the Wind Country have enough energy to start a war?"
"In fact, the reaction of Konoha and Iwagakure is secondary. We can take it step by step. If we want to control the small countries around us, we have to take down a hub - that is Amegakure.
The Land of Rain is located in the center of the continent, a chaotic place of four wars. After Konoha conquered the Hidden Rain Village at the end of the Ninja World War, this ninja village has been undercurrents.
As long as we can take down Amegakure first , we will have a certain degree of initiative. Amegakure is the barrier of the small country. Without Amegakure, the country to the north and the country to the east will have nothing to rely on. "
"So the key is to capture Amegakure?"
"To be precise, the key is to capture Amegakure before Konoha and Iwagakure can respond effectively."
Hanyu poked his head out little by little, and then through the air holes left in the ventilation duct, he saw two people below. One of them was naturally the daimyo of the Wind Country, and he actually knew the other ninja... The other person was Chiyo from Sunagakure.
Just as he peeked in, there was a sudden sound of breaking air, followed by a kunai that pierced the bottom of the vent with a puff.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing, maybe it's an illusion or a mouse, Lord Daimyo, please let's leave here for a while..."
He is really very vigilant, Hanyu sighed. However, at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of gray smoke emanating from the kunai.
Hanyu held his breath instantly, but it seemed a little too late...his legs felt a little weak.
Chiyo is indeed an expert in the use of poison.
Tsunade also noticed this thing. At this time, she put her arm around Hanyu's waist and quickly picked out a few medicine bottles from the ninja tool bag on his waist without even looking at them... These things were all prepared by her for Hanyu. She knew much more about what medicines had what effects and what raw materials they were made of than Hanyu.
As the two retreated silently, Tsunade mixed several pills together, and then they each swallowed a portion.
The symptoms eased slightly, and Hanyu nodded.
So the two of them continued to move through the corners of the palace, hiding in a corner where no one could find them.
