Chapter 24: Orochimaru

Red showed the guard the quest card and left the village with Chiba.

On the way, Red kept telling Chiba some precautions.

Since it was the first mission, Chiba studied extremely seriously.

According to Hong, Yoshida Village is not far from Konoha and can be arrived in an hour at most, and after completing the task, he can rush back to eat in the evening.

The two men leaped from tree trunk to tree, speeding toward their destination.

I don't know why, Chiba always has a feeling of unease in his heart.

"I shouldn't encounter any ninjas in a C-class mission, maybe it's the first time I'm on a mission, I'm too nervous." Chiba thought.

No matter how bad it is, he can still turn on the reincarnation eye chakra mode, and ordinary elite Shangnin will definitely not be able to help himself.

Of course, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Chiba must be vigilant at all times.

Soon, the two came to the forest not far from Yoshida Village.

Red suddenly stopped on a tree, looking at a mark on the trunk with a thoughtful expression.

"This is the code used by Konoha ninjas to communicate with each other, and it is generally used in the dark, which means that there is danger in the forest." Red said to Chiba.

Chiba also came over to check the signal, and found that the signal should have been engraved a day ago.

"What is the danger level?" Chiba asked.

"This signal means that there is danger, but the danger is inexplicable, and the level is also inexplicable, probably this is the meaning."

"It seems that it's not just us, there are other ninjas in Konoha Village searching for this place." Red guessed.

In her opinion, this signal should have little to do with the Yoshida Village where they were going to carry out the mission, and the other team of ninjas should be searching for something in the forest outside Yoshida Village.

"Let's go, let's get out of here as soon as possible." Red said.

The forest seemed to be filled with a cold smell all around, which made Red feel very uncomfortable.

She and Chiba picked up speed and finally left the forest and rushed to Yoshida Village.

Yoshida Village is a village with a population of several thousand, and there are inns in the village, and some caravans often use it in the village.

The Konoha ninja is hosted in the village office building, where Chiba and Red cross a street where people are selling something.

"Hey, little ghost, do you want to buy a 'Thor' suit, it's cheap." There are vendors who stop Chiba.

The so-called Thor suit is a black Lei Gong's mouth mask and a black robe.

The black robe is well designed, with dense patterns and ancient characters on it, and it looks like it is on par with the robes of the "Xiao" organization.

"Let's go, that's all a lie." Red saw that Chiba had a hint of wanting to buy it, and was ready to pull him away.

"How much?" Chiba asked.

"Three thousand taels, not expensive." The boss showed his big gold teeth and said with a smile.

Chiba ignored the red and bought it.

"When the time comes, the black clothes are suitable for stealth, and you can use it to find that beast." Chiba explained.

In fact, he just thinks that pulling the wind, in case he encounters a strong enemy, wearing this robe and opening the reincarnation eye chakra mode, not to mention how cool it is.

"Let's go." Red was a little speechless, and pulled Chiba to the Yoshida Village office.

The head of Yoshida Village is an old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face.

There was a long scar on the old man's face, which was extremely conspicuous, and the scar shook when he spoke.

After confirming the identities of Chiba and Hong, the old man said with some excitement: "Two adults, five children have been lost in the village in the past three days, all of them were lost unknowingly at night, and the father of one of the children seems to have found the beast, just shouted, and the result is ......"

The old man looked sad and indignant, and said, "As a result, I was bitten off the neck by that beast......

"Any other clues?" Red asked.

Yoshida Village is surrounded by dense jungles, and it is normal for giant beasts to be infested, but the fact that children are taken away shows that this beast has some intelligence.

In the ninja world, it is common to have a certain amount of intelligence, they can even refine chakra, and they can also sign a contract with ninjas to become psychic beasts.

The village chief shook his head.

"Take us to the site to have a look." Red asked.

So, the village chief took Chiba and Red to the homes of several farmers who had lost their children.

Because several farmers lost their children, when they saw the arrival of the Konoha ninja, they had to kneel down for Chiba and Hong, begging them to find a way.

"Don't worry, we will definitely find out." Red assured.

As the investigation deepened, the red complexion gradually became solemn.

She searched the surroundings of the houses, but found no trace.

The beast seems to be very intelligent and able to hide itself perfectly.

"My lord, the village guards say they heard an explosion in the forest, and then found a hole in the ground, and they have gone in to investigate."

Just when Chiba and Red were clueless, the village chief suddenly ran over and said.

The ninja's instinct told Red that the two things were connected, so she took Chiba with her and immediately rushed to the place where the incident occurred.

It's a dense forest, and civilians don't usually come to this kind of place, except for ninjas.

Arriving at the site of the incident, several villagers were gathered in front of a deep pit and began to clear the landslide of the explosion.

Chiba and Red stopped, and one of them said, "There are enchantment seals around here, and the explosion is also caused by the detonation charm. ”

"So the ninjas built a base here?" Chiba asked.

"It should be that this is an era of war, and this base should be established by other ninja villages." Red replied.

As the villagers dug deeper into the ground, the rocks and dirt at the entrance of the cave were almost cleared, revealing a small cave.

Inside the small cave, there was an extremely cold aura coming from it.

"The owner of this base left in a hurry, and seemed to know that the base would be exposed sooner or later, so he blew up important items." Red analyzed.

"Since it has just been blown up, are we chasing the owner of the base, or are we exploring this base?" Chiba asked.

Red glanced at Chiba, and for a while he didn't pay attention.

If you are in pursuit, then this mission will go beyond the scope of ordinary missions, and you will encounter powerful ninjas.

If you don't chase it, then the ninjas of other countries are likely to have stolen Konoha's information, and it is possible to cause heavy losses to Konoha.

This truth is understood by both Red and Chiba.

At this moment, a terrible scream came from the cavern in the deep pit, followed by footsteps approaching quickly.

Several villagers in the pit were frightened, and they crawled behind Chiba and Red.

I saw a small figure, which should still be a child, with an extremely hideous face, and his whole body was full of the smell of rot, and ran out.

"This is the child of the Iguchi family!" Some villagers recognized it.

Yes!

The child screamed miserably, and his rotten whole body began to surge, and almost instantly, countless white snakes emerged from his body.

The eyes of the white snake are all red, and when they see everyone, they start attacking directly.

Woohoo!

Chiba and Red threw out several kunai and directly pinned all the white snakes to the ground.

The child in front of him seemed to have been eaten by the white snake, and only an empty skin bag with green amniotic fluid was left and fell to the ground.

Although he didn't encounter any danger, Chiba's heart reached his throat, and his heartbeat increased rapidly.

Things have developed to this point, and he finally understands who is behind it.

One of the three ninjas, Orochimaru!

Shout!

Not far away, a sharp sound rose into the air, followed by fireworks exploding.

It's a flare!

"That's a help-for-help bullet from the shadows, they seem to be in danger!" The red complexion changes instantly.
