Three months later...

Fog Hidden Village, Mizukage's office, there was a heavy knock at the door.

"Sensei Terumi, isn't that rude..."

A thin layer of cold sweat oozed from Ghost Lantern Shuiyue's forehead, and he said to his teacher Terumi with some nervousness.

Different from Junmaro and Shiro, for the ghost lantern Mizutsuki, who has been living in the Fog Hidden Village, the deterrent power of the four generations of Mizukage Yakura is basically the same level as the demon.

And his teacher is banging on the door of Mizukage's office...

"Don't knock..."

"Come in directly!"

A young and powerful voice sounded, but it was not as annoyed as Suzuki had imagined.

"What's the matter with summoning us, Yakura?"

Terumi unceremoniously pushed open the door and called him by his name familiarly.

Yakura sat at Mizukage's desk, his thin body covered by the wide Mizukage's robes, and his young and handsome young face looked even more out of place with the big word "water" on his hat.

"Is Mizukage-sama so young?"

"It doesn't look much older than us..."

Bai asked with some curiosity, under the words and deeds of Meiming in these days, he also unconsciously developed a no-taboo temperament.

"Haha..."Terumi laughed insolently and said, "Don't look at Yakura's appearance, in fact, he has been married for several years." ”

"Huh?" Shiro looked at Yakura's appearance, which was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and then thought of such a thing as marriage, and some impactful pictures suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Ahem!" Yakura's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Ghost Lantern Shuiyue has been frightened by the death behavior of two nervous teammates, his legs are weak and he is sweating, for fear that the iron-blooded water shadow who can stop children crying at night will be angry and send them to the concentration camp in one go...

The office finally quieted down, and Yakura brewed his emotions for a while, adjusted to the grassroots mode of the leader, and asked the three students very kindly:

"How is it, how is life in Wuyin Village these days?"

"It's been more than three months since you became a Fog Hidden Ninja, do you have any difficulties with the mission?"

"Huh?" The ghost lantern Shuiyue didn't react, and he only felt a sense of absurdity when he was caught by Yakura and his brother left.

Bai didn't say a word, this issue is very complicated for him, and he can shoot 300 episodes of family ethics dramas when he explores it.

Jun Malu was neat, looked at Zhao Meiming seriously and said, "Life here is very good. ”

"Isn't it?" Zhaomei sighed slightly, and choked back directly: "You also come to this set in front of me..."

"Don't talk nonsense, get down to business!"

"Ahem..."Yakura, who has become a habit of engaging in political propaganda in the past few months, coughed dryly:

"It's okay to give some respect, I'm a Mizukage!"

"Cut!" Terumi turned her head away disdainfully.

"Alright, alright... Stand down, I have something to tell your teacher. ”

Yakura sent the three shinobi out with an embarrassed face, he had a good friendship with Terumi Ming, and he did a lot of bad things during the illusion technique, so that he couldn't hold his head up in front of his old friends who knew the inside story.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Terumi's tone finally became serious, without the previous frivolity, she knew that since Yakura was going to withdraw her three disciples, she obviously had something to say to her.

Yakura, however, pulled out a piece of paper from a pile of papers on the table and handed it to Terumi.

Zhao Mei Ming received it and glanced at it slightly, it was a mission entrustment letter: "B-Class Mission: Fleet Escort", and at the end of the mission book, Zhao Mei Ming's name was signed.

Terumi said a little strangely: "This is the task we just took over from the next ninja class, is there any problem?" ”

This is the task she chose for her three students, as a guard to protect the merchant travelers going to sea, this kind of task helps the students to get out of the village and become familiar with various information such as geography, people, and climate in the ninja world.

To train the lower ninja, such a task of going out of the village is indispensable.

Yakura didn't explain directly, but pulled out a large stack of thick documents and handed them to Terumi.

Terumi looked at it in bewilderment, and the first document was the mission report sent back by the Upper Shinobi of the Misty Hidden Blood Successor Search Detachment, which roughly stated that a Blood Succession Ninja who had defected to the Land of the Sea had disappeared under their surveillance.

"A traitor, missing in the land of the sea?"

Zhaomei was beautiful and frowned, and she had already smelled something unusual:

Not far from the country of water, the country of the sea is a small country on the sea, which can basically be said to be the back garden of the fog.

It was a bit inconceivable for a blood ninja with poor strength to want to disappear silently under the surveillance of the misty upper ninja.

"It's not just him, but the stack of documents in your hand is full of reports of missing people from neighboring countries around the Land of Water."

"Except for the first one that implicated our Mist Ninja, the rest of the missing people are all civilians, and the victims are all from those small countries at sea."

"Oh?" Terumi was interested, and after a little flipping, these documents were indeed reports of missing persons from several small countries around the Land of Water.

This kind of thing has nothing to do with Fog Hidden Village at all, but Yakura took great pains to collect them, and there must be a secret behind it.

Yakura continued, "The disappearance of these people all started after I dismantled the illusion. ”

"I went out of my way to investigate the archives of our Fog Hidden Village, and in fact, during the time I was in control, there have been people missing in the Water Country, and the situation is even worse."

"However, the request for help document from the Land of Water to Wuyin Village was blocked by the traitors of the Xiao Organization at that time."

"What do you mean? Behind the disappearance of these people is related to the Xiao Organization! ”

Terumi understood something, in the ninja world, population has always been a scarce resource, and putting it in the hands of an underground terrorist organization like the Xiao Organization is a way to make money.

In addition, for Frankensteins such as the Red Sand Scorpion and Orochimaru in the organization, high-quality living people are indispensable experimental materials.

Terumi suddenly thought of something again, and couldn't help asking:

"Wait... And what is the connection with our mission to get off the ninja class? ”

Yakura's face became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "During the period when I was under control, the smuggling of the population was directly through the channel of our Wuyin Village, and it was silently transported out of the Water Country. ”

Terumi couldn't help but be depressed, what that organization did to her hometown can be said to be too much to write.

"So, what now?" Terumi knows that the latter is the point.

"After I got out of control, the enemy cautiously withdrew completely from the land of water, and the disappearance of our people that had lasted for years came to an abrupt end."

"But as you can see, almost at the same moment, the disappearance of the men of those small maritime nations began."

Terumi can understand that those small countries basically don't even have a decent ninja organization.

And the trivial matter of the disappearance of civilians will not be paid attention to by those in power, let alone by the big country Ninja Village.

Yakura's tone became solemn: "If it weren't for the search force I sent to pursue the Blood Succession Ninja in the Sea Country, maybe I wouldn't have noticed these things at all. ”

"And most of the whereabouts of these missing people point to a shipping company."

"Shipping companies?"

"Yes, many of these missing persons have been seen on ships belonging to that company."

"And, in recent months, the company has suddenly started recruiting long-term seafarers with extremely high salaries and placement costs."

"You know, the owner of this shipping company, Cardo, turns out to be a well-known stingy ghost..."

Terumi raised her eyebrows: "The helmsman of a big force, suddenly his temperament has changed greatly?" ”

"It's a familiar plot..."

Yakura smiled and said, "It just so happens that you have taken over the task of escorting the fleet, and you will pass by the country of Waves, Cardo's old nest. ”

"Leave the task of investigation to you a teacher with three shinobi, and you won't be surprised."

"Besides, you're one of the few people in the know, and you're strong enough."

"I see!" Terumi nodded seriously, "I'll start investigating!" ”

"I'll leave it to you!"

Yakura sighed, feeling a little depressed as he thought back to the people who had disappeared in the Land of Water during his misstep.

Terumi said goodbye, turned around and pushed the door out, and her solemn face suddenly changed back to her original lazy appearance.

"What, does Mizukage-sama have anything to do with the teacher?"

After waiting for a long time for the teacher to come out, Bai asked with some curiosity.

"It's not a big deal." Terumi hid a touch of light in her eyes, and said meaningfully:

"Let's go, it's time to take you to the real ninja world!"
