After the bandits who did not rush out of the building and hid behind the wall were dealt with by the sword shadow, the villagers were finally safe.

After informing them of the incident, several people led the villagers to a hiding hole at the bottom of the waterfall.

The process of rescue was not smooth sailing, the thieves in the hostages took a villager as a hostage, and the person who was held hostage in order not to make himself a burden, actually resisted desperately, but fortunately, the sword shadow directly used illusion to make the hijacker hit, so there was no tragedy.

I don't know what happened, the six enemies who left with Mr. Kai have not appeared until now, and Sword Shadow is sure that Mike Kai is not nearby. His current perception distance is one kilometer, and since he didn't find it, it means that the location of these people is beyond this distance.

"Our mission now is to find the teacher, but it's already dark, and this hellish place can't move at night. We'll rest for the night and wait until dawn tomorrow before we set off. ”

He didn't plan to leave his companions here, and along the way, Kenkage didn't feel the aura of other people around him, so it wasn't necessary.

If there really was a perception that the enemy could deceive him, he was even more reluctant to let his companions stay.

The safety of the villagers is guaranteed, those guys caught the villagers but didn't kill them, they must have wanted to get something from them, and they naturally continued with scruples, but they were different from Yongtian.

For a more important reason, the sword shadow asked the villagers why they were captured, but everyone said they didn't know. But it's a pity that although Jian Ying can't directly check people's memories, he still has some eyesight, and there are hundreds of villagers, and there will always be some people who are not good at lying.

Since he didn't say it, Jian Ying didn't want to force them to ask, coercing them to tell the secret could only make enemies, and his identity was not qualified to decide this kind of thing. However, Mike Kay disappeared to save the villagers, and he hasn't returned until now, so he didn't anger them in time, and Sword Shadow didn't want to have anything to do with these guys again.

"Thanks to you just now. If it hadn't been for the fact that the guy was faked, I don't know what would have happened. Thinking of the ninja who pretended to be Kai-sensei, Nagata was a little stupid.

Kenkage doesn't think that finding out that Kai-sensei is wrong from his words is a sign of wit, and the most correct way should be to spread his perception when he enters the village and confirm the location of everyone. "I was careless this time, but it's a good thing that guy didn't do it right away. Hmph, maybe I want to get more information, it's sad! ”

The next day, when it was dawn, the sword shadow set up a bonfire in the depths of the cave, crumpled the dry food, added water, and stewed it on the fire.

Normally, the caves under the waterfall are mostly damp and cold, but this cave is very large, and the deeper you go, the less water vapor there is, and the drier it becomes.

They set off after breakfast, and did not bother the villagers, last night, Jian Ying and the representatives of the villagers talked about Teacher Kai, plus some estrangement between each other, there is nothing to explain now.

Although the speed of the three people was very fast, when they left the waterfall, they still inevitably got water stains on their bodies.

Leaving the valley, Nagata looked back at the waterfall and wiped his hand on his armor.

The waterfall is really large, and even at a distance of four hundred meters, the water vapor here is still very heavy, and there is a lot of dew on the surface of the armor that has just been wiped dry by Nagata.

"I didn't feel Mr. Kai's chakra, you say. Whether to look for it separately or act together. ”

Through his own perception, Sword Shadow probed the surroundings, but unfortunately there was still nothing to do. Furthermore, he felt the need to let Nagata and Aoika slowly get used to it, and take time to ease the feeling of seeing him kill mercilessly.

"Separate. This makes it easier to find Mr. Kai. ”

Seeing that they agreed, Jian Ying took out the scroll, took out a dozen smoke bombs from it, divided them into three parts and handed them to the two, he stretched out a finger and said to the two seriously: "These five blue smoke bombs are used to confirm information, and one is used every ten minutes to mark their own position. Red smoke bombs are used when an enemy attacks, so remember not to leave where you are if an enemy flees, and wait for everyone to converge before considering your next move. ”

The smoke screen is not only used to remind his companions, but also to let Mr. Kai, who is not known where, know the situation of the three of them.

"Is there anything else you need to propose?" With a slightly playful smile, Sword Shadow asked the two of them questions.

Nagata shook his head, his mind was still on finding Kai-sensei, and his mind was recalling the scene yesterday when the sword shadow cleanly stabbed kunai into the bandit who had no ability to resist.

Aoika and Nagata think about similar things, she prefers to inform Kai-sensei of the situation, and in just a few months of contact, Kenkage, the genius of the first grade, shows her a different side from what she sees in school.

After teaming up with her, Jian Ying is no longer withdrawn and cold in school, no longer a superior genius, more playful and indifferent and neurotic, and yesterday's killing made her shatter the concept she had just established, the kind of eyes when she killed, the silence in it made her feel cold, Aoi Xiang didn't know if such eyes were normal, but she hated or feared this kind of look from the bottom of her heart.

Getting a unified answer, the three of them dispersed in three directions.

"It seems that it is impossible for Mr. Kai to hand over the secret technique to me in a short period of time, I don't know if Nagata can adapt to himself in the future."

The lone ranger in film and television dramas always has the momentum of being cold and cold, lonely and awe-inspiring, but no one likes a lone ranger in real life, and Jian Ying is not a lone ranger, there will always be something to remember in his heart, and the bonds in his heart can make him stronger.

Ten minutes, even ordinary people can run a few kilometers on the plain, although it is impossible to reach such a speed here, but once the smoke screen bomb launched next cannot be seen by his companions due to the terrain barrier, they have to turn the direction, they are going to find Mr. Kai, not to put themselves in.

"Damn the rainforest, it's no wonder that the Sky Ninja Village can control the entire country, and if you want to move freely here, you really can't find a better way than to fly."

The reason why the Kunin Village was able to control the country during World War II was precisely because they had the most convenient transportation, and compared to them, even the lords in the strongest cities were far behind in terms of mobility and troop deployment.

Plants in the rainforest grow very fast, and once you jump into the air, you have to deal with the branches and vines that resemble fishing nets, and the extremely dense foliage in the middle layer that blocks the view. It is not easy to find a foothold to continue to climb up, and the location that is a good foothold for people is the same in the eyes of plants, and other creatures cannot be allowed to intervene.

After the scheduled time passed, Sword Shadow found a high ground to fire smoke bombs, and as the blue smoke column rose, signs of smoke bombs also appeared in the other two places.

"Okay, go ahead ......"

There was no gain, and when the three of them met again, they had disappointment on each other's faces.

Unlike Nagata and Aoika's frustration, Kenkage was worried in his heart, Kai-sensei's strength was indeed very strong, but it was probably dangerous to face Orochimaru directly. That kind of curse mark sword shadow will not admit mistakes, and Sasuke will also have this curse mark in the future, but the two sides are at different levels, and the curse mark of the avocado herdsman is more like a new experimental variety, and it is also a type with a very high probability of failure.

"What is there here that is worthy of Orochimaru sending someone over, it stands to reason that the current Orochimaru is either in Xiao or has already established Yinyin Village. No matter which outcome it is, it is impossible to come here in person, but you are not afraid of 10,000 just in case! ”

The last time Akimichi Nagata and Mitsuki Aoika watched Mike Kay defeat dozens of desert bandits, that kind of strength had built a solid fortress of confidence for the two of them, so they couldn't feel the anxiety of Sword Shadow's actions.

At noon, the three of them had lunch by the river, and were about to continue their search, when suddenly, the pupils of the sword shadow constricted suddenly, and he got up from the stone block where he was sitting and shouted to the two Nagata: "Teacher Kai has appeared, follow me!" ”

It was not easy to find Mr. Kai, and the only thing Sword Shadow had to do was to confirm that Mike Kay was safe and sound.

"What? The teacher is back. ”

Nagata was stunned, then looked delighted and hurriedly followed the sword shadow. After that, it was Aoi Xiang who rushed up, and the one who was the most looking forward to Mike Kay's return among the three was the weak March Aoi Xiang, and the search in the morning almost made her desperate, she didn't expect God to make such a joke.

A few minutes later, the sword shadow saw Mike Kay, but he was a little embarrassed at this time, with a white bandage on his shoulder, and there were still red blood stains on it.

"Teacher, you're hurt!" Aoi took a few steps forward, wanting to check on Mike Kay's wound but didn't know how to do it, and was at a loss there.

Sword Shadow stepped forward and pressed his palm against Mike Kay's injured shoulder. The moment Chakra was injected, he knew the condition of the wound: Mr. Kai's wound was a penetrating wound, and it was not a sharp weapon like a sword that pierced his shoulder, but a blunt weapon like a hammer and chisel.

As he recovered from Mike Kay's wounds, he wondered who had hurt the teacher, and then a man's name popped into his head.

"Could it be him?"

Taketori-kun Maro, at the last moment of his life, he almost killed Iairo by the power of his will alone. It is far from the time when he is sick, that is to say, Jun Malu during this period of time can use his strength wantonly.

But Kenkage didn't believe that Taketori Junmaro alone could hurt Kai-sensei, and he was confident that even if he really injured Mike Kay alone, Junmaro himself would have to pay a huge price, even death.

Mike Kay had multiple scars on his body, the one on his shoulder was the largest, and after being treated by Sword Shadow, Kai's face was much less cautious.

Nagata saw that Mike Kay's injuries were stable, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Teacher, what happened?" Why did you leave without saying a word. If it weren't for the shadow of the sword, we would have been attacked yesterday, and you should have given us a hint even if you left. ”

Aoika's attention was focused on another place, with the teacher behind, her mood was much more stable, and there was no eagerness in Nagata's voice: "How did you hurt the teacher, and can anyone hurt you?" ”

Sword Shadow began to treat the scratch on Mike Kay's calf, which was caused by a sharp object cut, and it seems that there were many people who attacked him.

Kai moved his arm, and after finding that it had no effect, he said to the two: "Don't worry." Now it's no problem, a few more ninjas came after you left yesterday, and the five new arrivals were more troublesome, and one of them actually saw through my hiding place, and finally had to start a war with them. ”

He didn't say anything about the specific course of the battle, I don't know if there was something else hidden or if he simply didn't want to tell them.

In fact, the battle process was really thrilling, and the five people who appeared later were the guys who were the future of the Otokure Four led by Taketori-kun Maro. Coupled with the top six guys in strength sent by the seven people in the wooden bar, Mike Kay is already very proud to repel the enemy in a day with a pair of eleven. Not to mention that not only did he kill two enemies, but he also wounded one of the four of them.

After Sword Shadow had healed all his injuries, Mike Kay stood up and said to them with a serious face, "Sword Shadow, Nagata, Aoika." Now, as Konoha Shinobi, I will hand over this C-rank mission to you to complete. ”

"Huh? What about you, teacher? Aoi Xiang was surprised.

Mike Kay said apologetically, "Because I found something yesterday and I have to report it to the village, I have to go back to the village, but don't worry, those people are gone and won't cause you any more trouble." I believe that ordinary bandits will not be able to deal with you. ”

"Okay, we'll do the rest of the work. But teacher, when you return to the village, will you come and join us? It can be seen that Mike Kay is very cautious, and Jian Ying no longer thinks about letting Mr. Kai stay.

"It depends, I'll come here again, you guys go first. I have to go back to the village. ”

"Yes."

Mike Kay may have discovered a great secret, and after telling him what he needed to pay attention to in his mission, he turned and left.

Aoi Xiang watched Mike Kay disappear into the mountain road, her little face was bitter: "Why did the teacher leave like this!" Sword Shadow, do you think we can accomplish this task? ”

Sword Shadow held the task scroll in his hand and said casually, "No problem, I don't want to have one more unfinished C-level task on my resume." ”

He changed his expression and said to the two of them, "The teacher has promised that there will be no other ninjas to cause trouble for us in the next mission, what are you worried about?" ”

"I'm not worried about anything else. I just hope that this situation will not happen again, hey, I was looking for a place to sleep, where did I think of such a thing. "What Nagata said was weak.

Jian Ying and Aoi Xiang empathize, after walking in the rainforest for so long, they originally wanted to find a village to rest in, but they didn't expect to find trouble.

However, Sword Shadow's depressed expression was a happy expression, and the energy of thirty-five points had added a lot of help to him. The Blood Essence Stone's ability to repair ** and its ability to restore chakra allowed him to devote more time to cultivation.

When she set off, Aoi Xiang proposed to go to the waterfall to say goodbye to the villagers, but Kenkage didn't want to go back. In addition to the fact that the other party concealed his secrets, although he saved many people yesterday, he still died a dozen or so, and his morale would not be very high, even if he rescued them from the bandits, these people had no intention of taking them to walk a hundred kilometers in the mountains.

In the end, everyone found the right direction and rushed straight to the destination, the road was hard, but no one complained, everyone held their breath, intending to arrive at the destination as quickly as possible, and return to Konoha in the fastest way after completing the task.

On the evening of the fourth day, the three of them found a lot near the river and decided to take a good rest. According to their speed, it is expected that they will be able to reach the small town in the mission tomorrow, and they don't want ordinary people to see their embarrassed appearance, so it is inevitable to clean up their bodies and change their clothes.

But just as Jian Ying was squatting on the bank of the river to get water, suddenly, the whole person was like a wooden stake, and he poured straight into the water.

Seeing this scene, Nagata didn't even have the heart to shout, so he jumped directly into the river and picked up the sword shadow and brought it to the shore.

Aoi Xiang, who ran over, was shocked, the sword shadow always looked like she hadn't slept enough in the past few days, listless, and now she fainted again, she didn't know what to do, whether to continue the mission.
