Soon, they arrived at Konoha. There was no tall red wall as they remembered, and the village was not that huge. On the Hokage Rock, there were only two stern-looking portraits.
First High Priest, Senju Hashirama.
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
Looking at the Hokage Rock in the distance, although I have accepted the fact that I traveled through time too early, I still feel a little unwilling.
It is now the eighteenth year of Konoha.
Oh my god, don't even mention Prince Naruto! Even the prince's mother, Uzumaki Kushina, is waiting in some little loli's belly!
However, looking at the village full of vitality, my mood unconsciously improved a lot.
Compared to Rain Shinobi Village, Konoha's environment is really great.
Bright sunshine, cool breeze, lush trees, and unique and beautiful buildings.
And, Eight Inner Gates Technique!
For Rinto, the Eight Inner Gates Technique can maximize the advantage of his immortality.
Unlike Hidan in the original work, Rinto's immortality is even more unreasonable.
His cells are extremely aggressive, and at the same time, have an extremely strong tendency to self-repair and divide, especially when injured;
That's why he was able to reattach his finger without stitches.
At the same time, he can practice without caring about his life, and the more weight he can carry, the better, without having to worry about hurting his body.
Finally, with the addition of the Eight Inner Gates Technique, this blessing will reach an extremely terrifying level.
The most important thing is that Rinto doesn't have to worry about opening the death door and dying.
This is also the reason why he is determined to obtain the Eight Inner Gates Technique.
Thinking about his next move, Rinto took Rie's hand and followed the caravan towards Konoha.
At the entrance of the village, four ninja guards were carefully checking the identities of people entering the village.
Mr. Kato stepped forward, reported the number of people in the caravan, the goods transported by the caravan, and accepted inspection.
Just then, a ninja with a fan symbol tattooed on his left arm pointed at the children behind the caravan and asked.
"What about them? They are also members of the caravan."
Mr. Kato was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"No, they are orphans from the Land of Soup."
"Orphan? Can an orphan walk all the way from the Land of Hot Springs to Konoha?!" The ninja guard obviously didn't believe it.
If you are a ninja, it only takes two days to travel between Yu-no-Kuni and Konoha; if you are an ordinary person, it may take as much as a week.
Looking at the pale and skinny appearance of these children, it is obvious that they cannot be ninjas.
And they didn't have any luggage, so how could they run around for a week without eating or drinking?
The ninja guard suddenly thought of something that happened a few days ago.
In the Land of Hot Springs, a village was massacred innocently. According to news from the front line, the scene was simply horrific.
What puzzled the five major countries was that after the murderers of the village were killed, they all knelt in front of a huge grave with their crimes engraved on their backs.
And the not-so-clever conspiracy of Rain Shinobi Village.
Thinking of this, the ninja guard looked at the children with a wary look in his eyes.
"Mito, go and make an announcement. Tell them that a large number of orphans have appeared at the entrance of the village."
Rinto mingled among the caravan members and watched the actions of the ninja guards coldly.
Although the character he played was also an orphan, he did not need to be examined with the group of children.
As early as in the Land of Hot Springs, Rinto joined the caravan as a clerk. Not only that, he also deliberately got close to the caravan boss Mr. Kato and his youngest son Nibongi, and took this opportunity to tell his forged origins and identity to this colleague in Konoha.
Simply put, Mr. Kato is an undercover agent of Konoha, and he is not a very professional one.
After all, his job only required him to travel back and forth between major countries, do business, and collect some simple intelligence.
Rinto, who had undergone professional undercover training, confirmed Mr. Kato's identity the first time he met him.
Rinto also believed that his information would appear in the hands of Konoha Intelligence Team as soon as possible.
Soon, several ninjas came from the village and took the children away.
I believe that Konoha will come up with a proper solution. After all, this is Konoha!
Rinto had no intention of interfering, and his assistance along the way was only out of interest.
After completing the registration, Rinto took Rie's hand and followed the caravan into Konoha Village.
Secretly, he felt at least ten eyes scanning him and Rie, but Rinto didn't care.
His infiltration plan was perfect.
Because he had no intention of carrying out Hanzō of the Salamander's orders. At most, he would just send some insignificant intelligence every month.
I believe that Hanzō of the Salamander would not really pin his hopes on these children.
After all, he is Hanzō of the Salamander, the demigod of the ninja world! A being that no one trusts.
Anyway, Rinto treated this undercover mission as a simple public trip.
With a relaxed and happy mood, Rinto bid farewell to Mr. Kato and the reluctant Nibongi and walked towards the center of Konoha.
He planned to take Rie to the Hokage building to register, otherwise, he would have to stay in Konoha for a short time like the others in the caravan.
But! This also means that he is likely to be interviewed.
The busy street was crowded with people. Rie, who had never been so far away, was like a curious baby, wanting to see this and taste that.
"Just be patient for a while. I'll buy it for you once I've finished my business!"
Hearing this, Rie nodded obediently, her big eyes full of anticipation.
Soon, the Hokage Building arrived. It was a magnificent three-story circular building with flame-red exterior walls.
"Stop! Kid, this is the Hokage building."
As soon as he finished speaking, three figures instantly appeared in front of Rinto, all wearing black vests and animal masks. They were obviously the Konoha assassination tactics special forces founded by Second Generation.
Hearing this, Rinto stood still and said, "Sorry to bother you, is this where I can apply for Konoha Village citizenship?"
"Yes!" Anbu, who was standing in the middle, nodded and then asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"Uh..." Rinto's eyes twitched and he complained in his heart.
Nonsense, of course it's to apply for identity, is it just for show? !
Without showing any emotion, Rinto explained expressionlessly, "I am indeed busy. I need to apply for a Konoha identity."
"Tugou, take these two brats to the intelligence squad."
Local dog...Rinto Khan, what a unique nickname.
However, Anbu, nicknamed "Dog", didn't think anything of it. He waved to Rinto and Rie and walked into the gate.
Soon, the two were taken to the Intelligence Squad on the first floor of the Hokage building.
Rinto was not curious, nor did he look around, fully portraying the appearance of a precocious boy who had experienced great changes.
On the contrary, Rie touched and looked at everything carefully like a curious baby.
Four years old and seven years old, although there is only a three-year difference, but in the world of Hokage ninja, there is a world of difference.
During the Sengoku period, a seven-year-old child might have to go to the battlefield, but a four-year-old child didn't, and that was the biggest difference.
Likewise, Konoha, which had been out of Sengoku for less than twenty years, was much more defensive against Rinto than against Rie.
"You go in and wait here with me, I..." Before Tugou could finish his words, Rie had already hidden behind Rinto and screamed.
"No! I don't want to leave my brother. I won't go to Rie's place. I will just follow my brother!"
It can be seen that she really doesn't dare to stay with strange men, especially adult men. After all, that incident hurt her too much.
"I'm sorry." Rinto protected Rie with an apologetic look on his face. "My sister is in a special situation. Can I let her come with me? She's only four years old."
Hearing this, Tu Gou looked at the brother and sister, who were not even adults yet, and shook his head mercilessly.
"Sorry, that's the rule!"
Seeing this, Rinto sighed, took Rie's hand, turned around, and was about to leave.
The role he plays now is a precocious boy who takes on everything for his sister. If his sister is separated from him, his character will be ruined.
Moreover, he didn't want Rie to stay with the local dog, not because he was worried about Rie's safety, but because he was worried about her mental state.
Over the past week, he racked his brains, asking Rie to give food to the orphans and teach her all kinds of knowledge, just to help her get rid of the psychological trauma she had before.
Now, there was no way he could let Rie recall her previous fear.
"In that case, I'm sorry to have wasted your time. Please take us out!"
Tugou didn't expect Rinto's reaction to be so big.
Although the seven-year-old boy still looked indifferent, he was really surprised that he left without saying a word.
This boy, doesn't he know that Konoha Village is the safest village in the ninja world? Can't they just be apart for a while?
And Rinto's answer is: No!
Although Rie's mother's original words were: My little girl Rie, please give me your orders!
But when it comes to Rinto, it automatically becomes: Rinto, I'm leaving it to you!
Seeing Rinto was about to leave, Tugou was silent for a moment, and did not dare to violate the rules, so he led Rinto away.
At this moment, a steady voice suddenly sounded at the end of the passage.
"Dog, let them in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with black hair and a neat hairstyle walked out.
"Lord Sarutobi." The dog stood up straight.
Sarutobi?
Which Sarutobi? The only Sarutobi who can freely enter and exit the Hokage building and understand the title of Anbu at this time is probably Sarutobi Hiruzen, the disciple of Second Generation Senju
