Hayato turned his head and saw that it was a female ninja he didn't know. The girl was about the same age as Hayato, with long blond hair, brown eyes, and a sweet look.

"Something?"

"That's right, my brother and I took over a task, but there is a little shortage of manpower, seeing that you look like a person, I want to ask if you would like to ...... with us" The girl said generously, very sunny and cheerful.

Hayato didn't reply, and glanced at the task wall again, and the dense task books on the wall suddenly made Hayato feel that his choice difficulty had been committed again.

"Hmm...... Well, let's talk about what the task is, and I'll think about it later. ”

"Hmmm! We're on a mission to hunt beasts, let's go, my brother will sit there, and let him tell you specifically. The girl grabbed Hayato's hand and walked to the side.

It's a table in the corner, and there's an older man sitting reading a mission book. The man had short black hair, glasses, and an ordinary appearance, but he had an indescribable temperament that made people feel close.

"Brother! I've got someone......"

The man frowned slightly when he saw his sister holding Falato's hand, reached out to separate his hands, and said, "Hello, my name is Tsuchima Ohira, and I am the elder brother of Koburi, Nakashinobi." ”

"Buried?"

"Uh, haven't you and Xiao Bury introduced ourselves yet? Xiao buried, it's too rude......" Da Ping's words were reproach, but his face looked doting.

…… This is the so-called sister control, right?

Xiao Bury stuck out his tongue at Dahei, and then said to Hayato: "My name is Doma Burying, 12 years old, Shinobi, just call me Xiao Bury!" ”

"Hello, my name is Bo Feng...... Road, just call me the path. I don't know what the mission you are talking about? ”

Da Ping pushed his glasses: "Did Xiao Bury make it clear to you?" We took the task of going to the villages on the border of the country of Kawa to hunt and kill the desert demon scorpion, this is the mission book......"

Hayato took the mission book and looked at it for a while, it was a C-level mission. There is a small village near the Land of Wind, called Yongquan Village, which has recently been attacked by a desert demon scorpion and needs ninjas to hunt it down.

This desert scorpion is not uncommon in the Land of Wind, but it rarely leaves the desert area, and for some reason it leaves the desert to attack Yongquan Village. The danger of the desert demon scorpion is average, and it can be hunted and killed by ordinary ninjas, and the amount of the bounty is ......

"Huh? How can a C-class mission only cost 10,000 yen? Hayato blurted out after seeing the bounty amount, and although he only had a cursory look at it just now, Hayato also remembered that the bounty for C-rank missions was usually around 50,000 yen.

"This ......" Ohira was a little embarrassed.

"We didn't lie to you, this mission is this bounty." Small burial tunnels.

"Didn't say you lied to me, I mean, why don't you take a C-rank mission with more bounties?"

"Ahem...... That's right, the village is relatively poor and can't afford to pay too much......" Taiping cleared his throat and explained.

Hayato glanced at the two of them in surprise, he didn't expect that there were such good people in the gold exchange?

"It's because the bounty is low that it's not easy to pull people, so you can help us!" He folded his hands together and placed them on his chest and prayed.

Fortunately, Hayato doesn't care about the bounty, what he needs is a system task, as long as the task can be triggered, it doesn't matter if there is more money and less money.

"Okay...... Hayato smiled helplessly, agreeing.

After taking the task, the three Hayato rushed directly to the border village.

On the way, Hayato asked, "Ohira, according to the information, the Desert Demon Scorpion can be solved by ordinary Shinobi, why do you still want to find someone to share the already small bounty?" ”

"This is for the sake of safety, in case something goes wrong, it will be much better to have your lower ninja on the side, to be honest, Xiao Bury has just reached the lower ninja level, and he hasn't done a few tasks...... Under normal circumstances, you don't have to do anything, just take care of Xiao Bury for me......"

Was it supposed to be a babysitter? And Hayato actually already has the strength of the elite middle ninja, but the middle ninja exam really didn't pass, so it's not wrong to say that it's the lower ninja.

"Brother, I'm not a child anymore......" Xiao Bury was unhappy when he heard Da Ping say this.

Along the way, several people talked a lot, and Hayato got to know the two of them in general.

Brother Tsuchima Ohira, 21 years old, a native of Kawanokuni, it is said that ninjutsu was taught by his deceased parents, and he is at the level of a ninja, and he is an out-and-out sister control, and he is a little overprotective of his sister. Since my sister has just become a shinobi and has begun to accept tasks, Ohira has recently taken on missions with a low degree of danger.

Sister Tsuchima buried, 12 years old, of course, is also a native of the country of Sichuan, ninjutsu is taught by his brother Dahei, under the ninja level, cheerful personality, very easy to get along with.

……

……

But it was said that Hayato and his party of three came to Yongquan Village. It is a small village with a total population of less than 100 people, very poor, and every family has thatched huts. It seems that 10,000 yen is really the limit of this village.

"Did you issue a mission to hunt the Desert Demon Scorpion?" Ohira asked as he took out his assignment book.

Seeing the three Hayato, a gray-haired old man said excitedly, "Finally, a ninja has taken over the mission of our village!" Thank you! ”

It seems that this task has been released for a long time, but no one has taken it. Considering the price, except for these two kind-hearted brothers and sisters, I'm afraid no one will take it.

"The old man is too polite." Da Ping hurriedly supported the old man who was about to kneel on the ground to thank him, and spoke.

"Grandpa, you can leave it to us with confidence! I'm going to beat those monsters away! ”

"Who is the village chief?" Hayato didn't want to waste his time, so he asked directly.

But I saw the old man speak: "The old man is the village chief." ”

"Then let's get down to business, where is the demon scorpion?" Hayato asks the question he cares about most.

"The old man doesn't know this very well...... It would come to the village every night, and at first it would only attack the livestock, but not long ago it attacked a villager, and the whole family of three was eaten......"

"So we just have to wait in the village until the evening to meet the scorpions?"

"It should be."

"By the way, Daping, have you ever seen a demon scorpion?" Hayato asked.

"Well, I killed one a few years ago. It's about the size of a cow, and it's easy to hunt as long as you watch out for the stinger on your tail. ”

"A few ninjas, the scorpion ......" The old man seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't help it.

"Oh? What do you want to say? Ohira was a little concerned.

The old man's eyes flickered, and he refused to say it explicitly, but kept saying, "You will understand when you see it......

Hayato asked again and again, but the old man gritted his teeth and refused to reveal any extra information, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Ohira, I feel a little wrong. This old man is clearly hiding something from us. Hayato pulled Koburi and Ohira aside and discussed in a whisper.

Daping pushed his glasses and analyzed: "I also noticed that it may be that in order to save commission costs, they did not explain the truth, or in other words, did not tell the whole truth. ”

"Angs...... Is that old man lying to us? But doesn't he look like a bad guy? "After all, the small burial is not deeply involved in the world.

"Well, I just don't know what I'm hiding, what does Ohira think?" Hayato hopes that the experienced Ohira can analyze something, and he looks like he has a good mind.

"Hmm...... There is too little information to analyze. I guess there may be more than one demon scorpion, or simply a monster more powerful than the demon scorpion, and the old man is probably afraid that he will run away after we know the truth, so he is reluctant to say it. "The head of Ohira's analysis is Dao.

"Well, I guess it's about the same, but it's a pity that it's going to get dark soon, otherwise you can go nearby and see the traces of the monster's movements, so it's easier to judge." Hayato had some regrets.

"Didn't the old man just say that the monster attacked a villager? Shall we go over there and have a look? Xiao Buri suggested.

"I've already seen it, and the old man said it was too bloody, so he burned down the whole house...... In general, everyone will be careful, I will take the lead, Xiaolu you take care of my sister, if the situation is not right, we will retreat. Ohira looked at Hayato and ordered.

"Rustling ......" the sound of something crawling, and a dark shadow swaying in the distance.

Hayato raised his hand and threw a shuriken with an initiating charm, looking at Dahei and Xiaobury called it a waste, you know, a detonation charm is worth 1,000 yen, and their mission this time is only 10,000 yen, if you cast ten detonation charms, the task is done in vain, and this is not counting the money for the shuriken.

With a bang, the detonation charm exploded, and with the light of the explosion, Hayato saw the monster clearly: "Ohira, is this the desert demon scorpion you said...... It's very different from what you said! ”
