"Our mission target went to this place, but we don't know where the Valley of Hypocrisy is in the ninja world, so we can only come to you for help."

"Well, it's okay to tell you. The so-called Valley of Hypocrisy is actually a refuge village."

"A refuge village?"

Kakuzu's words made Insect Man and others frown.

"That's right. A group of boring guys established a village. It claims to be a pure land away from the troubles of the world. Simply put, it is a place like the ideal hometown of mankind."

Kakuzu's tone was quite disdainful.

"Where is this valley of hypocrisy?"

"That place is difficult to find. It is said that the entrance has also changed a lot. If there is no one inside to guide you, it will be difficult to enter from the outside. But you are in luck."

Kakuzu looked at the darkening sky and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Valley of Hypocrisy is within the Kingdom of Valley, and the next debtor I am looking for also happens to be in the Kingdom of Valley."

◎

Valley Country.

It was already two days later that the five members of the Xuan Yuan clan and Jiaodu arrived here.

“Is this the valley of hypocrisy?”

It is surrounded by mountains and vast forests.

Insect Man looked around such an environment and was a little surprised.

It doesn't look like it is inhabited by humans. Apart from the fragrance of wild flowers, there is only the residual smell of poisonous insects and beasts on the road.

"It's not wrong. Although I have not actually been to the Valley of Hypocrisy, people I have known before have been there. Moreover, I can still judge some things."

Kakuzu said pointedly.

The insect man and others were puzzled by what he meant. Kakuzu did not explain, but continued to walk forward until he stopped next to a tree stump.

The corners are pointed at the tree stump, and the cut there is as flat as a tabletop.

"These are traces of artificial excavation."

Chong Man and others judged it.

It is absolutely impossible for a wild beast to make the cut of the tree stump so smooth, it is obviously done manually.

"That's right, and judging from the traces of the incision, it happened recently. The nearest small village is more than ten miles away from here. It's impossible for someone to come to a place like this to log wood."

That means that in this mountain forest where only wild beasts and poisonous insects live, there are still humans living there.

There are many tree stumps like this around, some left over from the past, and some very new ones. The large number of tree stumps proves that someone has cut down trees extensively and built quite a large complex of buildings here.

However, the building complex cannot be seen now, and it is obviously hidden.

Bug Man released his surveillance bugs and let them fly in the sky, looking for targets from the sky.

Even if special methods are used to hide it, such a huge building complex cannot be easily hidden, and there will definitely be flaws.

Half an hour passed, and the surveillance bug flew back from a distance and landed on the insect man's fingertips.

"How's it going, brother? Have you found the entrance?"

Shadow Man asked.

"No, nothing was found. Everything within five kilometers has been checked, and there are no traces of human activity."

The insect man shook his head in disappointment.

"Farther away?"

"No, this is unlikely."

"Then I'll use earth escape to have a look."

The earth man's body merged into the earth and disappeared, looking for the entrance to the Valley of Hypocrisy.

Another hour passed, and Tu Nan seemed to have disappeared and did not come back, which immediately aroused the high vigilance of Chong Nan and others.

"Have you been caught?"

This is the only possibility. If he hadn't been caught by the enemy, it would have been impossible for Tu Nan to come back after so long.

Insect Man sighed, the Valley of Hypocrisy... is such a dangerous place.

Worst of all, they don't even know where the entrance to the Valley of Hypocrisy is.

"Let me help you look for it, the Valley of Hypocrisy... things seem to be getting interesting."

Kakuzu said at this time.

With that said, he left alone.

Insect Man looked at the remaining three people and took action, starting to look for the entrance to the Valley of Hypocrisy.

They searched every area carefully, but found nothing.

Apart from encountering wild beasts on the road, there was no sign of human activity at all.

There has also been no news from Tunan at all, and the situation can be said to be developing in an unfavorable direction.

About two hours later, Kakuzu took the lead in gathering at the meeting point agreed upon in advance.

Looking at the deserted land, Jiaodu frowned and said nothing.

It was not until dark when Insect Man and others did not return that Kakuzu realized that something was wrong.

The situation is not as simple as serious, but very serious.

Like the native men, the insect men may also have encountered some troubles.

Although he was confident that he could be stronger than any of the five insect men, but being able to subdue the five insect men silently... Kakuzu knew that this was not something he could handle.

The enemy may have used some special means, but if you don't know the means, you may also be tricked.

Or maybe... I'm already being watched.

Kakuzu thought of this and immediately ran towards the outside of the mountain forest, leaving here as fast as possible.

Although I was wondering why the enemy only attacked Bug Man and the five of them but not him, now was not the time to wonder about this.

The only purpose now is to escape from here.

Without understanding the enemy's ability and quantity, choosing to fight against enemies in the dark is undoubtedly a very stupid choice.

Not long after Kakuzu escaped, there were shadows moving in the darkness.

One of them stared at the direction where Kakuzu fled, with a look of confusion and confusion in his eyes.

"Strange...why didn't this guy get hit?"

So far, the traps laid here have never failed. As a result, Kakudu has always ignored the traps here, which made him feel extremely puzzled.

"I remember that guy is the Immortal Kakuzu... Forget it, leave him alone. If he doesn't fall into the trap, we won't be able to attack him. He is a defector ninja on the same level as the village chief."

Another person said this, revealing his helplessness.

He knew about the immortal Kakuzu.

He is one of the top bounty hunters in the underground black market. He is a powerful and S-class defected ninja from Takigakure Village. It is better not to mess with such a guy.

Being able to escape from the trap they set here shows how unique the Undead Cape is.

The country of ghosts.

In Shiraishi's office, he welcomed a long-lost guest, Kakuzu.

Kakuzu narrated to Shiraishi what had happened in the Valley Country before, especially the disappearance of the Xuanzu people, which was a big problem.

"In other words, when you were tracing the Valley of Hypocrisy, did all five of Bug Man and the others disappear?"

Shiraishi rubbed his brow.

I didn't expect that just assisting Yagura to exterminate the remnants of the Blood Mist Sect would cause so many things.

The Xuan Yuans are undoubtedly a rare force in the military of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and there is no room for failure.

They disappeared in the Kingdom of Valley, and this matter must be investigated thoroughly.

"Yes, it should be the fault of people in the Valley of Hypocrisy."

Kakuzu said.

“Where is the Valley of Hypocrisy?”

Shiraishi asked.

It seems that there is no such place included in the intelligence system of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Shiraishi is not surprised by this. There are so many hidden secrets in the ninja world, and it is impossible for him to know them all.

"The village known as the Pure Land has unknown access methods. It is only known that it is in the large forest of Valley Kingdom, but the specific location is not certain."
