Chapter XXIV
Bang bang!
A loud explosion rang out, and Deidara stood at the top of the granary, looking at the ninjas who were trying to approach, and punched a hache in boredom.
"Scorpion, when is this boring task?"
The Red Sand Scorpion sits on the roof of the barn, swinging its legs, and its ten fingers control the puppet through the chakra line, playing with the ninja who wants to attack the granary, passing the time.
"This incident is not simple, these are just small pawns. Maybe they don't even know it, they are just pawns used by those big men to probe the strength of the granary guards. Look at it! The troublesome people are still to come. ”
The red sand scorpion seems to be indifferent, but its mind is very sober, and it has a clear understanding of the situation.
Deidara pursed her lips and looked at the night in the distance. Tonight, the group of ninjas who attacked the granary seemed to have all retreated.
In the night fog, the ninjas who had just retreated and repaired lay on the ground to rest.
Tonight, not only did they lose their crops, but their own troops suffered heavy losses.
"What's going on with you guys?"
The leader of the ninja force asked suspiciously, looking at the group of ninjas who had returned from a fiasco.
"Lord Firefly, the two ninjas guarding that granary are so powerful, dozens of us went up together, and we didn't even see their faces clearly."
"What!"
Firefly was shocked and asked, "Do you know what force they come from?" ”
"Said to be a ninja from Shikakure Village?"
"The ninja village that was just established?"
The leader muttered, and at this time, a childish voice sounded from behind him.
"Father, isn't it going well?"
The leader looked back at his son, and his face did not have the usual affection between father and son.
"Smaru, didn't you stay in the rear? How did you get here? ”
"I want to do you a favor and do my part for the benefit of the village!"
Looking at Smaru's appearance, Firefly felt a little relieved, but reason told him that the battlefield was dangerous, and it shouldn't be the place for a child of his age.
"There is a food shortage in the village, and the situation is similar in the middle and middle schools of the country. Only 50% of the materials that have been delivered to the village have been delivered to the village this year, and we have to solve the rest by ourselves. This operation is a matter of survival for the village, and there is no room for failure! ”
As one of the few shinobi in the village, Hotaru's face was full of determination, which boosted the morale of his companions. However, Firefly knew very well in his heart that although the large army in the village was behind, led by his wife Summer. However, the ninja beside him is already the elite of the village. As soon as they looked at each other, they were beaten like this by the other party, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to act in the future.
"This is the sorrow of the small country ninja village!"
A mockery was heard. As a Shangnin, Firefly's reaction is not unfast, coupled with the village's ancestral secretary Peacock Magic Method, compared to ordinary Shangnin, his strength is also strong.
Instantly locked the source of the sound, and in an instant, it rushed towards the comer. It's just that before the fireflies get closer, they feel a threat.
In the darkness, almost instinctively, feeling the surge of the other party's chakra, the firefly turned over, and his body dodged the foreign object that came from the attack, and fell to the ground embarrassed, a little embarrassed.
When Firefly saw the foreign object clearly, a pair of eyes were wide open.
"Bone veins? You're from the Taketori clan! ”
The man in the shadows slowly appeared, and the expression on his face looked very crazy.
"Originally, we Taketori clan disdained to fight with you as weak ninjas like you. However, what we are trying to achieve this time is too big. What do you think? Let's join forces! When this is done, you can take your share of the reward. ”
Hotaru looked at the strange man in front of him, and told him intellectually not to have anything to do with the person in front of him, the Taketori clan are all crazy. However, remembering his mission this time, Firefly's heart wavered.
.........
Shikakure Village, Leader Yashiki.
All the ninjas in the village went out on a mission, and at this moment, in the entire Luyin Village, except for some shadows who stayed behind, only Shikamaru was left.
Although the quality of his food has decreased a lot without Xiao Nan Yecang, Shikamaru's ears are rare and clean.
In this era of lack of entertainment, in addition to practicing ninjutsu physical arts, the life of a ninja is actually very boring. Even fighting the landlord, Shikamaru can't get together the head at the moment.
Shikamaru made himself a cup of tea and sat down in the hallway, staring at the night outside in a daze.
"Lord Bird Shadow of Luyin Village is such a young ninja, it's really a little incredible!"
Shikamaru turned around and saw a tall figure appear next to him, motionless.
"To be able to come here without the guard posts I have set up, you must be a great ninja too. What do you call it? ”
For this uninvited guest, Shikamaru did not panic or be afraid, but had a feeling of 'Master TM finally has something to do'.
"Kakuto!"
The ninja reported himself to the door, which surprised Shikamaru a little, how did this money-obsessed bounty hunter suddenly find him? Your own head isn't worth much, is it?
"What's the matter?"
"Cooperation!"
The corners got straight to the point and explained their intentions.
"You mean?"
"The food that your ninjas are guarding at the moment. Someone who can start a ninja village at such a young age will definitely not be incompetent! ”
Kakuto was not despised because of Shikamaru's appearance and age, and since ancient times, it has been common for ninjas to have super strength and mind at a young age.
"So you should know, how muddy is the water you are dripping? It's not just a business for the merchants of the Bird Country. After World War III, except for Konoha, large and small forces were short of food. Although the four generations of Hokage of Konoha are young, their methods are really clever! Just one piece of news deepens the rift between the major powers, which already have a tendency to be united. Several waves of reconnaissance attacks in a row, not only those little-known wandering ninja groups, but even the shadow of the fog ninja are also inside. ”
"So you mean, you want me to order my ninjas to release the water and not get into trouble with those forces, big and small?"
"Of course not!"
Jiaodu's appearance looked quite profound, "I mean, you and I will join forces to get that batch of grain down!" ”
"It's really like a villain's thing!"
But Kakuto continued: "I've observed these days, although I don't know what method you used to hide the ninjas under you, but the number of ninjas under your command is indeed considerable. I can secretly contact the buyer, or you can secretly transfer the food out and light a fire to blame the ninjas who want to steal it. As long as you and I join forces, we can get a huge amount of money. And you, you must have gained more than you have lost. How about this deal? ”
Shikamaru smiled and looked at Kakuto, looking like you were too young.
"According to your plan, I don't need you at all. You also said that now there is a shortage of food in various places, am I still afraid that I will not be able to find my next home? Of course, you would say that those buyers in the black market have their own trading circles, and they can't get in if they are not acquaintances. It's hard to buy and sell privately without being noticed! ”
Jiaodu's eyes narrowed, he didn't expect that this childish city in front of him was so deep.
"That's right!"
"But what does it have to do with me? This batch of grain can not only be exchanged for money, but also the armaments of the country of craftsmen, the technology of the country of snow, the specialties of the country of tea, the mercenaries of the country of iron, and even among the five major countries, I am afraid that there is no shortage of traders! ”
"So, you're not a qualified ally for me!"
Shikamaru looked at Kakuto, as if he was smiling. The atmosphere between the two suddenly became very tense.
