the Village Hidden in the Reeds (2/4) (Patreon)

You know it's a big deal when Konohagakure and Sunagakure collaborate on an espionage mission.

Unofficially, of course. Ino had no idea that, when being sent to investigate this mysteriously prosperous village that sprouted up overnight, she would be working with Temari. With all the flash and bang of the Great Ninja War behind them, life has been so sleepy in the rest of the world. Does a would-be Ninja Capital really warrant sending a set of big blue eyes to watch them and make sure that they're not up to anything fishy?

You know, things DO seem pretty strange here. A bunch of fishermen and farmers, suddenly coming into more money than they can stuff into their craws? What could possibly be going on?
