Damn it...... That group of waste, can't even handle such a stolen person?

When he saw Goyuki and Noriaki return to the camp, Shinji knew that their mission had actually failed.

In terms of strength, although he is a little stronger than this female shinobi, but this young man who suddenly appeared gave him a feeling that it was not easy to deal with, if it was two to one, Shinji might not be able to defeat them even if he used his real strength.

After a pause for a second, the figure of the captain of the "Akabane Clan" soared into the air, so fast that Goyuki couldn't even try to control the "Kaguyahime" to intercept it!

So fast! This guy ...... Isn't the speed at all below Prajna?

"We'll meet again."

While leaving such a sentence and flying away, Shinji suddenly formed a seal on his hands!

After seeing this scene, both Goyuki and Red couldn't help but prepare for defense, but when Shinji's seal was finished and the figure disappeared, they realized that nothing seemed to have happened.

Nothing happened? No, the moment he completed the seal just now, the chakra in his body did show signs of decreasing, right, what did he do......

"Huh! What's going on! ”

But at this moment, there was a shout of surprise from Mr. Noriaki under the tree not far away, and the two of them immediately ran towards it, but they saw a terrifying scene.

Under the dim moonlight, the team leader who had just been tied to a tree by Yuxing and was about to extract some information for a while was foaming at the mouth and tilting his head and fell down.

"I see, these team members all have curse marks on their bodies, and the seal that guy made before taking it away is to avoid leaving a living mouth......

After sighing, Goyuki turned his head to look at the battlefield not far away, because under the power of this curse, even the last two men in black who were fighting with Tooth and Shino fell to the ground.

"Huh? You fell before I could help? ”

At this moment, Ya looked at the enemy in front of him who suddenly fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth with a puzzled gaze, and touched his head with some embarrassment, as if wondering when he had practiced this invincible spell that could shock people to death with momentum.

Since the assassin died and fled this time, and the battle was over, Hong glanced at the battlefield and hurriedly said: "Anyway, let's clean up the battlefield first and then leave with Mr. Dianming, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time." ”

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of Teacher Hong, the members of Class 8 hurriedly swept away the traces left by themselves as quickly as possible, and after putting away the items in the camp, they left with the protected object overnight.

Soon after, in a dry cave dozens of miles away from the forest where the conflict had just taken place, a bonfire was rekindled, but the crowd had long since lost their sleep.

Can you explain? Mr. Nomiaki? The group of assassins just now are obviously coming for you, but it stands to reason that the C-rank mission you applied for should not contain a part that conflicts with ninjas. ”

Although the campfire could bring a burst of warmth to the cave, Sunset's tone was a little cold, because it was clear that the client did not seem to tell the truth when he commissioned the task.

The cost difference between different levels of missions is huge, so occasionally some clients will lie about the mission situation in an attempt to reduce the cost, but this can actually pose a huge danger to the ninjas who carry out the mission, because the preparation and vigilance are completely different in advance.

If she knew that there would even be a ninja-level opponent in the mission, Sunset Red would never have taken her eighth class over to take the risk, after all, they had just graduated, and it was too risky to participate in such a high-level battle right away.

"Sorry, strictly speaking...... I did deceive you, but I did not know that such a terrible pursuer would be invited, and that is true. ”

At this time, Mr. Dianming's face had long since lost the frivolity he had when he disguised himself as a fisherman, but instead had a serious and calm expression, and even the tone of his speech had changed dramatically.

Is it finally not disguised...... After listening to the troublesome client's words, Yu Xing said with a smile: "You seem to have told me that you were suspicious of something just now, and are you still suspicious?" ”

"You're right, I was really just suspicious of that before, but now I'm pretty sure of it...... Anyway, could you please listen to me before you think about whether you want to continue with the mission? For the sake of more than a dozen lives. ”

Knowing the rule that the ninja who accepts the mission can terminate the mission at any time when lying about the mission, Noriaki's tone at this time is very sincere, although it is true that he has done a little less authentic in this regard.

A dozen lives? When he heard this, not only Yuyuki and Hong immediately changed their expressions, but even their big teeth couldn't help but open their mouths wide, with the exception of Shino, of course, because no one could see what his expression was.

"I'm not a fisherman, I'm technically a Ph.D. in oceanography and specialize in the ecology of the ocean, which is why I often live in a small fishing village near the south coast."

"A small fishing village? Is that the location you're going to take us to? ”

"Yes, it would have been a very peaceful village, like a paradise...... At least that was the case a year ago. ”

"A year ago?"

"Yes...... Since a year ago, people have disappeared from the fishing village intermittently, and at first the villagers thought that they had accidentally fallen into the water or had some kind of accident, but later they found out that it was not the case at all. ”

Speaking of this, Dian Ming took a deep breath and continued: "There is an isolated island about two miles from the coastline, which should have been an uninhabited place, but once the residents of the fishing village accidentally picked up a bottle containing a strip of cloth from the sea, and the words "island, base, help" were written on the strip of cloth in the bottle, and ...... It's written in blood. ”

When he mentioned this incident, it was obvious that the old gentleman was still a little apprehensive, but in a way this was not all bad for the residents of the fishing village, because it meant that the disappeared villagers might still be alive.

It turns out that it is likely that a group of unknown people took over the island and kidnapped some of its inhabitants.

Hearing this, Red also almost understood the true nature of the matter, but she then asked, "But if this is the case, you can legitimately issue a B-level or higher mission to Konoha to ask for support, right?" Why ...... Ah, is it a question of funding? ”

Halfway through speaking, Hong realized why Mr. Dianming would lie about the mission, after all, the reward for the "C-level mission" is only 30,000 taels to 100,000 taels, but the "B-level mission" is 80,000 taels to 200,000 taels, and if it is higher, it will be more expensive.

The cost of hundreds of thousands of taels may be a little reluctant for a fishing village in a remote area that has relied on fishing for generations, so Hong thought so.

But before her words fell, Mr. Dianming immediately shook his head and said: "That's not the case, although the amount of hundreds of thousands of taels is not a small amount, but the people in the village can't make it up, what really worries me...... It's a pattern drawn on the back of the strip of cloth in the bottle. ”

"Pattern? Is it the message that the imprisoned people are trying to convey to the outside world? What exactly is the pattern? ”

This pattern is ...... "clover rattan pattern". ”

"What!" The moment she heard this word, Sunset's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, which showed what a huge impact this word that ordinary people were not very familiar with.

"What? Is there anything special about this "clover rattan pattern"? Represents a very powerful ninja? After seeing that Teacher Hong, who had always been calm, was so surprised, Ya hurriedly asked.

After being stunned for a moment, Sunset Red said slowly: "This doesn't mean a certain ninja, because the "rattan pattern" is a family crest, which represents the power of a daimyo, and the "three-leaf rattan pattern" represents the daimyo of the current fire country...... His Royal Highness Yuan Xiuguang. ”
