A group of four walked through the dense forest and entered the town.
The four of them did not attract special attention from the people around them because this was a necessary route from the Land of Rivers to the Land of Fire.
Many merchants passed by every day.
Orochimaru, as a kimono prince, had once again changed into his beautiful kimono.
Mikoto was wearing white clothes, adorned with extremely beautiful patterns, and a black ponytail, which tied up her waterfall-like black hair.
As for Tatsumi, he was also wearing similar clothes.
So this was an outfit with deadly radiation to a certain creature—matching couple outfits.
And Nawaki was wearing a set of simple casual clothes. Of course, that's how it looked in the eyes of ordinary people.
But in the eyes of a ninja of Orochimaru's level, he could see through it at a glance that Nawaki was actually only covering his key positions with a few leaves.
After all, these were just clothes made from leaves using the Transformation Technique.
Because they had been away from people for several days, after entering Rogue Town, Tatsumi and the other two even felt a sense of intimacy looking at the bustling crowd.
Nawaki pretended to be indifferent, but his eyes were looking around. He felt a little anxious inside.
He always felt inexplicably that something was letting the wind in. He looked around for places that sold clothes.
Of course, it wasn't that Nawaki and the others were unprofessional.
This was Orochimaru's request. After entering the town, they were ordinary merchants. If they were still as nervous as before, it would be too conspicuous. It would inevitably attract the attention of others, which would not be conducive to the concealment of the mission.
While walking, Tatsumi saw many travelers and merchants. They were carrying a lot of goods.
But he was a little strange. Since there were robbers hijacking property nearby, why was it still so prosperous?
Logically speaking, these people should also take a detour. Were they all so confident in their strength?
This seemed different from what was said in the intelligence.
The four of them walked into the town so naturally, and then, led by Orochimaru, entered an inconspicuous inn.
Although the inn was not large, the interior was decorated very beautifully. And it didn't feel crowded because it was inconspicuous, so there were very few guests inside.
The owner of this inn was a couple in their forties. After Orochimaru asked for a room, the woman led the four of them upstairs.
The room was quite spacious, and it was no problem for the four of them to live in it.
"You must be from a big city, right?" the landlady asked with a kind smile.
She had been observing travelers for many years and could clearly distinguish whether each customer was rich from the material of their clothes.
The four people in front of her undoubtedly belonged to the category of rich people.
Tatsumi and Nawaki didn't dare to say much, for fear of saying something wrong.
Orochimaru smiled with a hoarse voice and replied, "Yes, we are from the Daimyo's mansion."
"Oh, that's the capital of the Land of Fire. It must be very prosperous."
The woman sighed, and it could be seen that she seemed to yearn for life there.
"When we earn enough money, our family is also planning to move there."
"Are you here for tourism?" Then she asked casually.
"No, we brought some goods to sell in the Land of Rivers. It is said that the things from the Land of Fire are very popular there."
"Of course. The Land of Rivers is not a prosperous country. Things here can be sold for a good price there!" the woman continued.
"By the way, auntie, where can I buy clothes around here?" Nawaki suddenly asked.
The woman was stunned and then replied, "Well, turn left when you go out and walk straight to the end. There is a commercial street there."
"Speaking of the commercial street, there is also a scenic spot there. It is said that a great pirate was executed there. I don't know if it's true or not. You can also go and have fun," the woman introduced enthusiastically.
"Pirate? Auntie, have there been pirates here?" Tatsumi asked.
"Of course. This used to be a very famous tourist attraction."
"Wow! I really want to see it. Are there any pirates or robbers around here now?" Tatsumi showed an excited smile.
"Uh... of... of course not such things," the woman said stutteringly.
"Little brother, our Rogue Town is now a very peaceful place. Under the leadership of the town chief, everyone is living a prosperous life. How could there be robbers?" the woman explained again.
"Hmm! Is that so? That's really a pity," Tatsumi showed a disappointed expression.
After a simple exchange, the woman left.
After the woman left, Orochimaru asked, "Tatsumi, did you find anything?"
Tatsumi nodded, "It's very strange, isn't it? Our mission is to kill these robbers. Rogue Town is not far from Windmill Village. Why did she say that there are no robbers around here?"
Orochimaru nodded, then opened the window, "Alright, the mission will be carried out tonight. In the meantime, go out and buy something."
As Orochimaru spoke, he glanced at a certain part of Nawaki's body, then revealed a contemptuous look.
"We are now merchants going to the Land of Rivers. Staying in the room all the time will easily make people with ulterior motives discover the problem."
So the three of them went out for a while.
The sun had already set, and the sky was gradually becoming gloomy.
The pedestrians in the town were also starting to become scarce. After Tatsumi and the other two went out to buy a set of clothes for Nawaki, they returned to the inn where they were staying early.
After having a simple dinner, the expressions of the three of them gradually became serious.
Tatsumi and the other two sat on the floor, listening carefully to Orochimaru's words.
"The mission target is in Windmill Village. Kill everyone there! Note that it is everyone."
"This is your mission. This scroll contains a map to Windmill Village. I will not take action unless necessary."
"The other party has a large number of people, and some of them are wandering ninjas."
"So you need to use this." Orochimaru directly pointed to his head, but his eyes looked at Nawaki.
"Don't underestimate your own strength and the strength of your teammates. Of course, don't be too arrogant."
Orochimaru glanced at the three of them lightly and said to Tatsumi, "Tatsumi, from now on, you are the captain of the team. Then it will be up to you to command and analyze the enemy's information, and then make targeted arrangements."
"Unless necessary, I will not take action. Remember these words."
"Understood."
"Good luck." After taking out a scroll and throwing it to Tatsumi, he turned and left.
Orochimaru quickly disappeared.
