Chapter 12: The Pursuit
Chapter 12: The Hunt
(I forgot to say "May Day" happy to everyone, hehe, everyone "May Day" is happy~)
Although after the end of the war, the major countries began to recuperate, and there was a posture of prosperity (among which the country of fire is the most), but as long as people still exist, crime will naturally not disappear, of course, there are ninja zài, the so-called bandits and rogues are all local chickens and dogs, under the ninja clearance, it is impossible to resist at all, this kind of large-scale, criminal team on the surface is rare.
Early the next morning, the four people of the tenth class who had finished preparing gathered in the mission delivery hall of Konoha Village, and Sarutobi Hizashi was not present, after all, as the Hokage, there were more things to do.
However, the people of the seventh class led by Kakashi Hagi also came here to deliver the task at this time, and during this time, the two shinobi greeted each other because they knew each other.
"Morning!"
"Morning!"
The mission required a few days away from Konoha Village, and the four people in the tenth class who were all dressed were carrying backpacks behind them, which made Naruto and the others take a few more looks.
As a self-acquainted Naruto, he had doubts in his heart, so he naturally didn't bother to hide it, although he and Shikamaru were not very familiar with each other when they were in the ninja school, they still approached Shikamaru, pointed to the backpack, and asked, "Shikamaru, what are you carrying the backpack for?" ”
Kakashi, who had been reading a book all the time, finally diverted his attention from this, glanced at everyone in the tenth class, and said to Asma with an "ah" on his face, "Have you started to take on the C-level mission!" ”
D-class missions don't need to leave the village at all, and a few people will come all the way to hire ninjas for tasks such as picking up garbage.
"C-class!" When Sakura heard this, her face was envious, which made Ino on the side complacent, and the current situation of Class 7 obviously greatly satisfied her vanity.
"Kakashi-sensei!" When Naruto heard this, he narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, and ran to Kakashi, putting on a visibly distrustful face, and asked, "Why is Shikamaru already doing C-rank missions in Class 10, and we still have D-rank missions!?" ”
Naruto's tone and complexion were obviously questioning whether the current situation was because of Kakashi.
Kakashi, who began to concentrate on the Intimacy Heaven again, didn't glance at Naruto, but just answered lazily, and said lightly, "I heard that Shikamaru's grades in school have always been the first, and Dingji and Ino have good grades in school, right?" And their performance in the shinobi test is also very good......" Saying this, Kakashi took advantage of the time to turn the page, and finally glanced at Naruto and gave him a fatal blow: "It's not like a guy who is tied to a pillar to watch people eat, and he can't even do D-class tasks. ”
…………
Not to mention the bickering between Kakashi and Naruto, after a while, a stout middle-aged man was brought to Class 10 by the ninja who received him.
After Asma greeted the other party, she began to listen to the other party explain the mission.
This mission,Four felons in a small town prison,Together, kill the jailer,Then escape from the prison,Escape to a deep mountain outside the town,On the way,Kill a few more people,And get a knife,This makes the local officials very angry,But if you search with troops,The cost is not a few,If it's Shikamaru's previous life,,That's the only way,But this world,There are ninjas with supernatural energy,And you can hire it.,This is naturally the best choice in this situation.。
Of course, even if he is an official of the Fire Country, even at the level of the city lord, he is not qualified to transfer a ninja from the Ninja Village, the Ninja Village is only directly subordinate to the Daimyo, unless it is ordered by the Daimyo of the Fire Country personally, otherwise any Fire Country official is not qualified to transfer Konoha Village, and can only use the normal form of employment to let the Konoha Ninja contribute.
This man, a close confidant under the official, was sent to Konoha to issue a mission, but he has always been very polite, in the final analysis, the two institutions are different, and the ninja has more power, so naturally it cannot be humiliated, which is also the essential difference between the ninja of this world and Shikamaru in his previous life.
Shikamaru's previous life, although in modern times after all kinds of packaging, but in essence, did not depart from the ordinary Fan Tao, looking at Japanese history, ninjas have never been an important force to influence the battlefield, and what they did was a ninth-rate business, the ruler naturally did not like to recognize and declare its status, which made it difficult for the ninja to be bound by the so-called "righteousness" such as morality and loyalty in the name, and was excluded and belittled everywhere, unable to grow, and had to continue to wander in the dark realm, falling into a vicious circle.
But in this world, let's just say that the strength of Shikamaru now, if you are bent on killing, unless you are also a ninja to stop it, it is not impossible to slaughter the village and destroy the town, such as the madmen of the Great Snake Pill and the Red Sand Scorpion, it is not that they have not done it without doing it, just ask, people with this kind of power, is it possible to be willing to endure the lowly status and the humiliation of others? What a masochistic personality you have to be!
Because the packing has been completed, the client of this task is actually only responsible for hiring ninjas, and explaining the situation, handing over the map and a letter to the tenth class, and the tenth class can go first, after all, the ninja's foot strength is not something that ordinary people can keep up with, and he must go with him, but it will definitely slow down the hurry.
After the preparation of the four members of the tenth class, they left Konoha under the leadership of Ape Fei Asma.
The pass to leave the Konoha Gate and the likes of Wen Jiàn, as a shinobi, the experienced Ape Fei Asma has already been prepared, so the passage is smooth all the way.
…………
On the afternoon of the third day, the four members of the 10th class finally arrived at their destination.
Before the sun set, the afterglow of the swaying glow coated the surface of the buildings in the distance with a layer of red light, and although the sky was getting darker, Asma was relieved to see this, and walked into the town with Shikamaru, Ino, and Dingji.
It's just a few fugitives, and they've fled to the mountains, so they don't have much impact on the town, and it's still thriving.
If it is an ordinary person, it is natural to find a place in this town to clean it first, and then visit the town officials, but Asma, Shikamaru and others, as ninjas, are here to help deal with fugitives, and it is not good to do this kind of superficial work, so they rushed to the official's mansion as soon as possible.
After the visit, he handed over the letter of the person entrusted with the task to the officer, and although he did not look cheerful and enthusiastic, he also treated the four men with courtesy, and kept them to rest in the mansion for one night, and then arrest the prisoner tomorrow.
Asma wanted to refuse, but seeing the tired look on the faces of Ino and Dingji, he had to nod and agree, Ino and Dingji were not in good shape, and they were inexperienced, they were fine during the day, and if they were at night, they might be attacked by carelessness.
…………
The next morning, Shikamaru got up, washed up and began to seriously inspect the ninja equipment, although the opponent was just an ordinary person, but this habit should naturally be maintained.
The rooms of the four of them are connected, and Shikamaru, who is arranging the ninja equipment, listens attentively and notices a sound coming from Asma's room next door, and it is speculated that the other party has already gotten up.
Sure enough, a moment later, a sleepy-eyed Dingji knocked on Shikamaru's door and told Shikamaru to go to Sarutobi's room to meet.
It's still early in the morning, and although there are servants in the mansion who have gotten up to clean the courtyard, on the whole, it is still very quiet, occasionally a few early birds stop on the trees or eaves, and the probe chirps, Shikamaru takes a deep breath of sober air, and only feels that his spirit is much more uplifted.
Shikamaru and Ding Ci came to Asma's door, knocked and then opened the door directly, Ino had already come to Asma's room first, at this time was yawning, looking sad, far from the usual vitality, small mouth slightly open, seeing the door open, hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, afraid of destroying the image of the girl, panicked movements, it looked a little coquettish, but if you look closely, you can find that it is the same as Ding Ci, the spirit is not very good, I am afraid I didn't sleep well last night.
After getting through the initial excitement, Ino and Ding Ji still had some conjectures, which is why they are what they are today.
After Shikamaru and Dingji took their seats in the room, the three shinobi looked at Asma together, quietly waiting for each other's instructions.
"Put this on." Asma, who had been closing her eyes and pretending to sleep before, opened her eyes at this time, took the three people's watches into her eyes, and didn't say anything, just took out four walkie-talkies and matching headsets from her backpack, kept one for herself, handed the rest to the three people, and ordered: "The four targets fled into the mountains outside the town, and our task is to track their tracks and then hunt them down." ”
Although these four fugitives killed a few people, they were really not the opponents of Ding Ji and Ino alone, so naturally they didn't need any complicated plans, and after Asma finished giving the order, he should go out of the room first.
The guide sent by the official was waiting outside the door, and after the preparation of the four people in the seventh shift, they led them to the place where the prisoners fled into the deep mountains, although the mountain is not high, but the forest is lush, and there are a few people, if it is an ordinary person, it is indeed difficult to pursue, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to do it.
The guide stood with his hands down at this point, and no longer spoke, so Asma waved at him and told him to return to the mansion.
After the guide left, Asma crouched down and looked at the marks left on the ground, the footprints were messy, and it could be seen that the four prisoners were in a hurry, so they did not have the energy and time to deal with the traces.
Shikamaru also stepped forward at this time, observed carefully, and tracked down one, the ninja school has also been taught, and Shikamaru is no stranger.
"Shikamaru, you lead Ino and Dingji to track along the way," After seeing the traces, Asma stood up, lit a cigarette, waved his hand, spread the smoke that spread in front of him, and lightly instructed Shikamaru: "I'll wait for you at the foot of this mountain." ”
In this inaccessible mountain, the whereabouts of four people who have not been trained and have no supplies are obvious to the ninja, so it is indeed not difficult for Shikamaru to track.
But when Ino heard Asma's calm words, he couldn't help frowning and questioning, "Asma-sensei, aren't you with us?" ”
"I'm your mentor Shangnin, not your nanny," Sarufei Asma swept over Ino and Ding Ji with an expressionless face, and said coldly: "Track you all learned in the ninja school, and if you are not even defeated by four ordinary people, you are not qualified to be a ninja at all." ”
Asma, who has always been kind, suddenly spoke to herself in such a tone, which made Ino a little uncomfortable, and bit his lower lip slightly, but still stubbornly looked at Asma: "That's not what I meant, Asma-sensei." ”
"That's best," Asma said with a deep puff of her cigarette, then exhaled a cloud of smoke, her face looming behind her, unable to make out her expression, "but I advise you, don't have unnecessary weakness and compassion for your enemies, and if you are killed, don't have the illusion that you will be rewarded and honored - as ninjas, you will be killed by ordinary people, and ridicule will accompany your corpses to the ground." ”
