Chapter 165 Time flies!
The morning light rose slightly in the distance, and a brilliant light of pale golden color fell from the cloudless sky.
The khaki sand waves are bordered with a layer of gold.
Two figures wearing robes and turbans walked in the desert, like two travelers.
These two people are Deidara and Uchiha Hikaru. After searching for the dragon veins for another half a year, they have been wandering around and are almost becoming natives of the Wind Country.
"Deidara-kun, can we still make it to the next supply point alive?" Uchiha Hikaru asked weakly.
At the same time he began to climb onto Deidara's back.
"Come down, come down quickly... I'm almost exhausted, I can't carry you anymore!"
"I don't care. I can't walk anymore. Tell me, if we die together, will we be blown away by the wind and sand? Otherwise, how about tying a red string on our hands so that our bodies can be close together after we die?"
"What the hell! Come down, you stink of sweat..."
"do not want!"
Uchiha Hikaru tightly hooked Deidara's neck and wrapped his legs around his waist, hanging on Deidara like a koala.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The physical fitness of ninjas is very strange. Even if they are strong enough to become super shadows, they still need to eat and excrete like ordinary people.
She is not immune to the extreme heat and cold winter, so Uchiha Hikari is not deliberately acting like a spoiled child, but her girlish physique has reached its limit.
Deidara couldn't do anything with her, so he had to endure the scorching heat and continue moving forward.
It was hard to even see a ghost in the desert. As time went by, the light became more and more familiar to him, and the sense of boundaries had become so blurred that it was comparable to a late-stage kaleidoscope...
"Deidara-kun, there seems to be someone ahead..."
"Where is it? Why can't I see it?"
"It seems to be my parents..."
"..."
It seems that Guang has really reached its limit. He can even see Jingtu's parents. In order to prevent her from falling, Deidara clapped his hands together.
"Wood Style: Lianzhu Family Technique!!"
Deidara doesn't know this technique, but he can use his great strength to perform miracles. He directly twisted the trees together to form a tall and thick tree hole house.
The giant black and blue tree looks a little weird, but with the shade of this tree, it is much cooler than the shadow of the big clay bird.
In an instant, both of them felt their minds clear.
Too high a temperature would indeed make one feel dizzy, and now that it had cooled down, Uchiha Hikari could no longer see her parents.
Since they were all resting, Deidara simply made a more comfortable bath.
He first dug a large hole in the sand inside the tree hole, and then used Wood Release to carve out a large bowl-shaped bathtub that just filled the sand pit.
Finally, let Samehada use some water jutsu so that you can take a simple cold bath.
The bath was separated by a wooden wall so that Deidara and Uchiha Hikaru could both bathe at the same time.
"Uh-huh~"
Deidara entered the water and made a mysterious sound, "It seems like it's not bad here, ki mo ji..."
There is nothing more comfortable than soaking in cool water in such a hot desert environment.
"Hmm~kimo..."
Even Uchiha Hikaru felt so comfortable that he couldn't help but imitate Deidara and made strange noises, which made little Deidara on the other side of the wall stand in awe.
After soaking for about an hour, the two ate some food to replenish some energy and water, then packed up again and prepared to set off again.
As for the big tree that was born from the Wood Release, Deidara did not destroy it. During his time in the desert, he left hundreds of trees in various places.
Although these trees will eventually dry up and die due to the desert environment, at least they can provide a shade for travelers before they completely decay.
And there is also special bath water to drink. It is a bit unethical, but it is good enough to survive...
Just as the two were about to walk out of the tree hole, they heard hurried footsteps outside. It was the rustling sound of sand unique to the desert, and it could be heard that there were at least two people outside.
Immediately, the two of them stopped.
And the sounds from outside also came in.
"Shram, this is definitely a mirage. How can a big tree appear in the desert? There are no plants or ponds around, let alone a single tree."
"I don't believe it. Just look at it. Besides, this tree doesn't look like a desert plant. It's unlikely to be a mirage."
Tread.
When the two were about to enter the tree hole, Deidara coughed twice, making some noise to remind them that there were other people here.
To avoid being startled when he comes in and then drawing his sword against you if there is a disagreement.
But even so, the two men were frightened and drew out the kunai from their waists while retreating.
"who?!"
Deidara walked out slowly and said, "I'm just a traveler passing by. Don't be nervous, ok!"
The two men didn't completely believe it and just looked at each other.
It seemed that they were discussing whether to advance or retreat. Seeing this, Deidara said, "We will leave here soon. If you want to rest in the tree, just go in, okay!"
The ninja named Shamon stepped forward, protecting his companion behind him, and then asked, "We are two ninjas from the Sand Storm Clan, responsible for investigating the large number of mysterious giant trees that appeared in the desert. Let me ask you, do you know how this tree appeared?"
The appearance of giant trees in the desert was no longer a secret, so Shamen could tell his mission without any worries.
Deidara raised his hand and responded positively, "I did it. What's the problem?"
The Shamen was startled at first, then immediately said respectfully: "Our clan leader is looking for the reason why the giant tree appeared. If you made it, can you come with us to the Shalan clan? Our clan leader would definitely like to meet you!"
Deidara looked at Uchiha Hikaru beside him and asked, "Hikaru, are you going?"
Uchiha Guang's little head was almost filled with afterimages: "Go, go, our food and water are almost gone, it's a good time to replenish them!"
So Deidara turned to look at Shamon, "You heard it, no problem, we can go back with you, yeah!"
"Oh... OK, this way please!"
The monk was stunned for a long time, as if he had never seen anyone agree so readily.
You have to know that this is going to a completely unfamiliar territory, but he can agree so readily. Such a person is either stupid or too powerful and fearless!
Shamon was more inclined to believe that these two were the latter, even though they looked to be only in their teens.
But what teenager can roam the desert alone?
Moreover, these two people are suspected to be the ones who created the giant trees. This ability is unprecedented. Those who can create giant trees in the desert are definitely not ordinary people!
Then the team of four set out again. Thanks to the shadow of the big clay bird above their heads, the Samantabhadra and his companions were able to continue moving forward.
However, Deidara still noticed that his companion's steps were a little unsteady, and it was obvious that he was injured.
"By the way, I haven't met you yet. My name is Deidara, and this is my friend Uchiha Hikaru. What about you, huh?!"
The Samana supported his companion and replied, "My name is Samana, and he is my companion, whose name is Flint."
After a pause, Shamen asked hesitantly, "Uchiha... Uchiha is from the Uchiha clan, the great ninja clan of the Land of Fire, right? How did you end up in the Land of Wind?"
At this moment, Shamen felt vaguely that his decision might have been hasty.
He did not expect that the other party would be a member of the Uchiha clan. It seemed not a good idea to bring him into the clan territory rashly. However, if he chased him away after they had already set out, he would die faster.
Forget it, let them wait outside the clan territory for a while, and he will go in and inform the clan leader first!
"We are here for tourism, no need to be nervous! Yeah!"
"Ha ha……"
It would be strange if Shamon believed it. The Fire Nation is almost going crazy, how could they allow one of their people to travel to the Wind Nation? They are probably planning a retreat after being defeated.
The monk felt that he had guessed the truth.
But he didn't say it out loud, for fear that the other party would get angry and start fighting.
