Chapter 40 Employment
"My name is Miyamoto Musashi, and I'm a wandering samurai." Yuzo said his current identity: "Hehe, I should help you, those two guys were not very polite to me just now, and the famous Konoha ninja, I have always longed for that place!"
Saying such things can be regarded as being in line with the identity of a wandering samurai. In this world, the wandering samurai and the wandering ninjas, as well as the ninjas of the small ninja villages, have similar feelings towards the five ninja villages. Aspire, or want to be one of them.
However, if you want to join, it is not only the strength requirements, but also the background and other requirements are also very strict. It's not unheard of for people from other villages to join the Five Great Ninja Villages, but it's basically a long time ago. Because in such an event, the probability of the appearance of a character like a spy is terrifying.
"You're Miyamoto Musashi? Really! Naruto was the first to react and asked with a look of surprise.
This made Yuzo a little surprised, what? Their disguised name is already known to them? I still look more understanding. I've done that with this name before...
Is this being noticed by them?
Then Kakashi's explanation made Yuzo suddenly realize that it was because of Rush's relationship with Orochimaru that Naruto and they noticed him as a samurai.
After Sasuke's defection, Naruto was very interested in the mission related to Orochimaru, the guy who abducted Sasuke, in addition to constantly practicing to increase his strength. And the mission they left Konoha this time was to track down the matter about Orochimaru, that is, the clue to the source of Orochimaru's human experiments.
As for the origin of this clue, it comes from the shadows, from Konoha's intelligence network.
Naturally, Kakashi didn't say much to anyone other than his fellow villagers, except that they had been tasked with eradicating a group of bullies, and that bullies were naturally Rush's group. When they arrived at the place, they found that Rush and his gang had been killed, and rumors circulated in the town that a guy named Miyamoto Musashi had eliminated the gang.
Naturally, they were curious about such a person. And now they have actually met the main owner, and they are really lucky. Of course, this is a superficial statement, and in fact they have also traced it. In a sense, they just tried their luck and didn't expect to find it. In addition, he also encountered an enemy who was related to Uchiha Itachi.
There is no need for Kakashido to say, Yuzo can guess the process. Naturally, it was impossible for them to give up the task directly because of this change, after all, it was about Orochimaru. Naruto Kakashi and the others must have done some research in the town, and then it is likely that they were eyeing the clues he left behind.
Yuzang's disguise is not without flaws, he actually didn't put too much effort into it, just like playing.
If he really wants to hide it completely, he doesn't have to be a foot merchant wandering around the town, just find a place to hide so that no one can find out and wait for his body to recover alone. But he really didn't expect that things would be so coincidental, just after killing a group of people just to get some money, he got involved with Naruto and them again.
This is an unexpected accident that makes Yuzo feel the wonder of cause and effect.
Knowing Amazo's identity, Kakashi somewhat removed some of his guard. In his opinion, since he would do that kind of behavior similar to "eliminating harm for the people", even if there are some doubts, it should not be a bad person. Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and the most he can do is not always on guard against Yuzang and do something unfavorable to them.
The kind of distrust between strangers is still there.
Kakashi began to ask about various details about Rush, nominally to give an account of their own mission, but Yuzo understood what it meant. He told the story of killing Rush 1510, and he also said that he was for the purpose of money, without hiding a trace.
"You're saying that Rush later entered a strange state, and some black lines appeared on his body, and his strength increased greatly?" Kakashi asked when he heard Rush use the spell mark one, he needed to make sure of this, if it was really the spell mark, it meant that there were no problems with the intelligence clues of this mission, which was very accurate.
"Yes..."After describing the process in detail, Yuzo looked at Kakashi's deep thinking and said to himself, are they going to continue to investigate? Isn't it a little too little for these people. If Orochimaru is really found, Kakashi alone will not be able to deal with it.
However, Yuzang's worries are obviously redundant.
"So did you find any documents or letters or anything like that?" Kakashi asked.
After a pause, Yuzo pulled out a scroll from his bosom, "I did find something similar in the place where Rush kept his money, and this is it. It's not useful to me, but it's a kind of gain, and I might be able to use this kind of information to pay it back. ”
"Well, I think Konoha can take some money in exchange for this scroll of yours." Kakashi said after a moment's deep thought.
"That couldn't be better!" Yuzo happily handed the scroll directly to Kakashi.
After getting the scroll, not far from the money exchange, Kakashi stepped aside and quietly discussed it with Shikamaru. He still trusts Shikamaru's wisdom and strategy, and the Nara clan basically never disappoints, in this regard.
"According to this Miyamoto Amazo's description, Rush's group should be the offline line of Orochimaru's collection of human experiments. And it will be the more important one, even if this Rush is just a lowly guy, it can be regarded as important if he has a curse mark. Kakashi said, "I've just looked at the scroll, and it has information about where and when they turned over their population, and it's clear that we've found an important clue."
"Then what we need to think about now is whether or not to go immediately." Shikamaru analyzed: "If you continue to delay time, a long time has passed, Orochimaru's side may have known about this matter now, or it may not know yet, the more time is delayed, the more likely it is to miss the opportunity!"
Kakashi was a little worried: "The problem is, our manpower..."
"It's up to you to decide, and the most I can do is ask for help from the village and send some more people over." Shikamaru said calmly, as the leader of the team, the powerful relationship is already in front of him, and it is time for Kakashi to make a decision.
After thinking for a while, Kakashi instead asked, "What do you think of this Miyamoto Musashi?" Shikamaru. ”
"Him?" Turning his head to look at Yuzo Shikamaru, who was sitting under a tree and fiddling with a katana, he replied, "It's quite a strange person, if it's a wandering samurai, the swordsmanship is average or poor. But his physical fitness is very unreasonable, such a guy either has the inheritance of a real former samurai and deliberately behaves like a swordsman to hide it, or he is a samurai of the Iron Country and has chakra. ”
"What about character? I mean, is it possible to work against us? ”
"It's hard to say, but based on what I've seen so far, he's acting like a normal wandering samurai, doing things for money, like killing Rush and selling us scrolls. I can only say that there should be no hostility towards us, right? Shikamaru said uncertainly.
Kakashi took a deep breath, then ordered as the leader of the class shinobi, "In this way, send a message to the village asking for help, and we will continue to follow this clue, and... Hiring this Miyamoto Musashi in the name of Konoha will definitely not be easy for his strength, so that he can also have more strength to fight against emergencies. ”
The biggest hidden danger of this mission is the possibility of directly hitting Orochimaru, although this is the worst-case scenario.
When Kakashi announced his decision, Naruto chatted with Yuzo, which was actually a one-sided question, and everyone knew his character...
When it came to hiring Yuzo, several people didn't object. Even if Ino always felt that this Miyamoto Musashi looked at her a little strangely, she had to admit that the strength she showed in the short encounter just now was not weak. It is very beneficial to have one more person in the next task, or a samurai with good strength.
Naruto showed a happy expression and smiled, "Haha, this time I must find out that old guy from Orochimaru and give him a little color!"
Only Naruto would say such big things, and Kakashi on the side could only secretly slander this guy in their hearts and didn't consider the issue of strength comparison, and only thought about finding Orochimaru to bring back Sasuke.
Ino is a little uninterested in Orochimaru's problem, the reason why she formed a team with Naruto is that Sakura has become a disciple of Tsunade to learn medical ninjutsu and no longer team up with Naruto to do tasks, but also has some expectations for whether she can meet Yuzo. During this time, she also continued to practice, studying illusion and her family's secret arts, hoping to quickly improve her strength.
It's just a matter of luck, though.
Ding Ci's guy also went to practice with the old man in the family, and it will take a while to come back. Naruto was the only one left in the seventh class, and it was only natural for Ino and Shikamaru to be combined.
Their Asma teacher has been busy with other things lately.
As Naruto suddenly began to shout that he was hungry, the group immediately put themselves in place to prepare for dinner.
Yuzo watched them take out dry food and nibble like a marginal person, and the only thought was that it was a little distressing for Ino to eat this. But at present, it is still in the middle of the mission, and it is not the time when the mission has ended, even Naruto has no intention of wasting time to catch some game, at most he will take the fire to roast a dry and hard food, and boil a little hot water by the way.
Yuzo also took out the rice balls, and to be honest, he didn't have a few left, this thing was not easy to keep after all.
Sitting under a tree and watching them replenish their food, ready to eat and immediately start heading towards their destination, Yuzo couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, as if he had returned to the days when he was still in the shadows and one of the few missions he carried out with his teammates.
Watching Shikamaru and Ino nibble on jerky and dry food, Yuzo had the idea of giving Inono his leftover rice balls.
But at the moment they are not "familiar", and it will seem a little abrupt to do this kind of thing.
At this moment, Yuzo remembered a song.
One of the lyrics sung in it probably means that the most beloved person is in the farthest place, so far away that it makes people desperate...
Looking at Ino, he didn't know what kind of thoughts this girl had about his own affairs, and she was disgusted with him for betraying the village and leaving Konoha? Still don't want to believe it? Ino, who grew up in Konoha since he was a child and became a member of the Konoha Ninja, how does he feel about himself...
What made him happy was that Ino was still wearing that hairpin, at least he wouldn't treat him as a life-and-death enemy when they met again, right?
Humming the song softly, Yuzo experienced this indescribable complex emotion.
The song here is Lost my music I don't know if there are like-minded book friends, this music anime, is my first life. In addition, I would like to thank you for 100 prizes of blank blank children's shoes.
