Konoha Hidden Village, early the next morning.

It's already December, and although the weather is good, a round of warm winter sun hangs high in the blue sky, but it can't dispel the chill that is full of wind.

The cold wind blew through it, and Dazner couldn't help but shiver.

Fleeing all the way from the country of waves, he was terrified along the way, and even after arriving in Konoha, Dazna was in no mood to relax, let alone have the energy to take care of himself.

Now Dazna was still wearing the dirty and torn coat he had made when he fled, and his gray hair and beard were messy and black, making it impossible to see their original color.

Coupled with the wrinkles on his face carved by wind and frost and the expression of his sad face, no matter how you look at it, he is a vagabond with a miserable background.

With such a sloppy image, it's hard to believe that Dazna is a person who can come up with a million dollars and release S-class missions in Konoha...

But Dazner knew in his heart that the money was all money from the young people on the island who exchanged their lives for money.

He couldn't help but recall his experience in the past few months:

Cardo, a vampire who has been riding on the heads of the people of the country of waves, suddenly became inexplicably generous one day and began to spend a huge amount of money to recruit long-term seafarers on the island.

None of the people who have lived a poor life in a barren island country can resist the temptation of so much money.

After all, they are fishermen who rely on the sea for food, and instead of staying on the island and being cut by Cardo's soft knife, it is better to fight for a huge settlement fee to become long-term seafarers.

And Dazna's adopted son, Kaisha, in order to give their family a better life, also accepted Cardo's conditions without hesitation, and took a good young man to board the ship of Cardo's sea.

They have not been heard from since.

Later, things were even more cruel, a few days ago in the country of waves, if it wasn't for the luck of getting the help of nobles, Dazna would not have been able to escape at all.

His family and hometown are under the control of the demons, and he fled to Konoha alone for help.

This situation made the old drunkard Dazna not even have the desire to use alcohol to kill his sorrows, but he was stunned and pinned all his hopes on the Konoha ninja he hired.

Kakashi Hachiki, this is the name of the ninja who received the commission from Dazna.

Dazna had lived in a remote island country all his life, and he didn't know much about the ninja world, and he didn't know who Kakashi was at first.

But Dazna just casually inquired on the streets of Konoha and mentioned Kakashi's name, and every passerby praised him and called him a well-deserved Konoha ace.

And Kakashi said that he was not the only one who took over the mission, but there would also be other Konoha ninjas with him.

Perhaps, with the help of these characters, those missing young people and suppressed villagers can be saved, right?

Thinking so, Dazna saw a silver-haired Kakashi slowly walk out from behind the Konoha Gate and greet him.

What about his companions?

Dazna was wondering, and then he saw two imps wearing Konoha forehead guards tightly behind Kakashi...

A black-haired teenager and a red-haired girl looked to be about eight years old.

Both of them are white and tender and very good-looking, but no matter how they look, they look like children who have just gone to school, and they have nothing to do with the word "ninja".

"Huh? Is that old man our client? It looks so sloppy..."

Xiang Lian slightly straightened the red-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and said in a girlish voice:

"I can't tell if it's a guy who can issue S-class missions."

Hearing the childish voice of Xianglian, Dazna's heart sank, this is undoubtedly an eight-year-old girl, right?

Kakashi didn't stop Kakaru's impolite words, but instead asked another question: "What, hasn't Hinata arrived yet?" ”

"Hinata..."Xiang Ryu thought for a while, and said helplessly: "It must be Big Brother Tamu who is in bed again!" ”

"I guess Hinata is tugging at his big tongue at the head of the bed..."

Dazna was again in a state of heartache:

Are there any ninjas who go out on a mission to stay in bed early in the morning?

And what the hell is a big tongue pulling!

"I said—" Dazna finally couldn't hold back, and asked Kakashi, who seemed to be the only reliable one at the moment, with some excitement:

"The Konoha ninja who came to perform the S-class mission, is this kind of little devil who hasn't finished school yet?"

Kakashi wasn't angry at all, just scratched his head with a smile on his face, and finally replied with two words lightly: "Yes!" ”

"You!" Kakashi's laid-back attitude directly choked Dazna to the point of speech.

"Old man!" It was Sasuke who had been speaking in a cold mode, but there was a bit of age-inappropriate coldness in his slightly immature voice: "Don't think of us as those little ghosts of civilian families..."

"We're very strong!" A somewhat dangerous smile appeared on Xiang Li's face, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her crimson eyes.

These two little ghosts look a little weird...

Dazna was inexplicably stunned by the two little children

Half a year after becoming a shinobi, the three children in Kakashi's class are already veterans who have seen blood on their hands, and it is not difficult to deter a mediocre old man with his momentum.

But after a while, Dazner regained his composure, and became more and more annoyed:

"Are you going to be a trick on this mission?"

"Cardo's kind of guy can't be solved by a few imps!"

"What an unpleasant old man!"

A dull voice suddenly came from behind them.

When Dazna turned around, he saw a fat black-skinned toad more than two meters tall standing straight in front of him, with a long wide tongue that was bare outside the bloody mouth, constantly shaking.

"Monsters!"

This kind of shape directly frightened Dazna, and as soon as his legs were weak, he couldn't help but retreat, and staggered to the ground.

"Haha..."

A chuckle like a silver bell rang out, and Dazna saw clearly that on the big head of the toad monster, there was a cute little girl with pink carvings and jade bricks, covering her mouth and laughing softly.

"This, is this guy also a ninja of Konoha?"

Dazna was stunned, and pointed to Tam's tall, chubby body.

"Cut... Haven't you heard of the Connected Spirit Beast? Xiang Ryu also laughed disdainfully, "It's a shame that you still have the courage to be angry with us just now!" ”

Chan still unrelentingly ridiculed Dazner:

"How did you manage to escape from the chase alone with such guts?"

Dazna's expression darkened, and this sentence made him immediately recall the villagers who were captured by Cardo that night...

"Let's talk more about it..."

"I want to know what that day was like."

Tam picked up the subject, he really wanted to find out what kind of combat power Cardo's side was showing.

The information in the original book is probably useless at all, but Tamu knows that if he doesn't cut it, he will still endure it in front of the fog...

Dazna's expression became more and more sad, and then he said slowly:

"On that day, I took hundreds of family members of the missing people to block the door of the Cado company, trying to ask for an explanation."

"But not only did Cardo ignore us, but even sent people to arrest our family members."

"There are a lot of us, and the other side didn't succeed for a while."

"But then, the ninja hired by Cardo intervened..."

"Hire a ninja?" Kakashi was a little wary, "How's the strength?" ”。

Dazna twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Very strong! ”

Kakashi suddenly couldn't find any other adjectives for this kind of uninformed civilian, except that he could speak strongly.

He then asked in detail, "What ninjutsu did they use?" ”

Dazna thought for a moment and said with some trepidation: "Before I fled, I only saw a ninja who could open his mouth and spit out raging fire, and his momentum was amazing. ”

It's so powerful, isn't it just a fire escape...

The three children were speechless.

"In more detail, let's say how big is the fire he spits out?"

Kakashi had no choice but to further reduce the IQ of the problem.

"That fire dragon is at least dozens of meters long and two or three meters thick, and even the stone will be burned when it hits the stone."

"And he can spit out three fire dragons at once, and he traps us all in an instant..."

Everyone was silent for a while, and such a fire escape showed that the opponent was at least at the level of elite forbearance.

"Wait..."Tam was a little strange: "If the opponent is of this strength, how did you escape, an ordinary old man?" ”

Kakashi also reacted: for an elite shinobi, hundreds of civilians can't even be called a rabble, and it is impossible for them to slip through the net.

Dazna shuddered, "It's because other ninjas showed up and saved me..."

"Other ninjas, which village are they from?" Kakashi asked.

"Foggy..."

As a resident of the small countries surrounding the Land of Water, Dazna no longer knew enough to recognize the forehead guard of the Blood Mist Ninja, and he added:

"I haven't seen them since I escaped, though."

"Because the name of the blood mist is too scary, I don't dare to go to the land of water for help, so I crossed the sea and came to Konoha..."

"Mist Ninja?"

Tam thought of something, Yakura happened to inquire about relevant information in the chat group before.

I'm afraid that the ninja who appeared in the country of waves is the one he sent out to investigate...
