"There's no problem with the money, it's the same amount."

In a luxury villa in the suburbs, after slowly counting the money, Jiaodu said to the bald man who was trembling and looking at him.

"Of course, I don't dare to get an axe in front of Mr. Jiaodu."

The bald man rubbed his hands together and squeezed a flattering smile out of his face.

The corners are closed with black suitcases full of banknotes, and you can faintly see several precious stones sandwiched between the banknotes.

"That, Mr. Kakudu has come all the way, and he must have been tired and hard, right? Why don't you soak in the hot springs here? For example, I have a good beauty here......"

The bald man continued to rub his fingers as he gestured with his eyes to the two maids standing beside him, slightly lightly dressed.

The two maids also calmly untied half of the kimono on their bodies, revealing their white shoulders, and at the same time, the round snow-white on their chests was also half-hidden and half-visible, and they were shy and blushing, giving people an extreme sense of temptation.

As far as ordinary men are concerned, it is absolutely impossible to resist such a temptation.

It's just that Kakudu turned a blind eye to these temptations, and he just stared at the bald man with his green eyes.

"Ahem, what, does Mr. Kakudu think that two are not enough? If that's not enough, I can call a few more over for adults to enjoy...... No, it's a hot spring. ”

The bald man continued to flatter and laugh.

Ignoring the flattering smile on the bald man's face, Kakudu just lifted the black suitcase full of banknotes, and also chose to turn a blind eye to the maid who was still in her own shyness.

"No, I'm not interested in these things. Next time, remember to repay on time, I am not so polite every time. ”

After Jiaodu finished speaking, he walked out of the room with a black suitcase and walked towards the outside of the villa.

I didn't expect Jiaodu to leave so unexpectedly, looking at his back as he left quickly, the bald man couldn't help but touch the top of his bald head, a little dumbfounded.

"What a weirdo, I've never seen such a guy staring at money."

The balding man complained.

A debt collector like Kakudu who doesn't eat oil and salt is the type he least likes to deal with.

"His Royal Highness the Master~"

The maid's delicate voice came from the side.

So, turning his head to look at the two beautiful maids, the bald man directly forgot his previous unhappiness, like a hungry wolf, suddenly saw his prey, and killed it fiercely.

"The arrears here have been collected, and the next goal is to ......"

Walking to the official road in the suburbs, Jiaodu took out a small notebook and ticked off a name with a pen to prove that the person had successfully repaid the loan.

"Is it this way?"

Jiaodu looked sideways at the direction where the next debt collection target was, and on his black coat hung a solid gold medallion engraved with an aster pattern, which glittered in the sun, which was extremely eye-catching.

"This mission is to expel the wolves wandering around the village, with a level of C, and the reward is 80,000 taels."

The leader of the seventh class went to Shinobi Tenzo, and summoned the members of the seventh class to meet at the main gate of Konoha, including Sakai, who had just entered, a total of four people.

When the members gathered, Tenzo announced the mission he was going to go out to carry out, explaining the content of the mission and the reward that could be shared afterwards.

"Anyway, in the end, I can only get six thousand taels of money."

Naruto said with his mouth curled and dissatisfied.

The reward of 80,000 taels seems to be a lot, but in fact, after the task is completed, 40,000 taels must be taken out and handed over to the village, and then the remaining 40,000 taels will be handed over to the leader of the team.

And the remaining 20,000 taels are the remuneration of the three team members.

Therefore, the average of the three people is only more than six thousand taels.

"You're almost getting used to these things, Naruto." Tianzang smiled and continued, "Moreover, with your current situation, there should be no shortage of money. ”

Having received the inheritance of four generations of the Hokage couple, not to mention those precious ninjutsu and sealing collections, it is difficult to evaluate them with accurate money. Even if the money left behind, it is at least hundreds of millions of taels.

Even if he doesn't work for the rest of his life, it's enough for Naruto to live his life without worrying about food and clothing.

"That being said, I still feel like I can't save my money."

Although he received a large inheritance, Naruto did not use the money stored in the ledger, but continued to use the money he earned from his hard work.

Only when you have enough food and clothing can you feel happy.

You know, indulging too much in material pleasures is a big taboo for ninjas.

Tenzo smiled slightly, somewhat understanding Naruto's thoughts, and then he looked at Sakai and said, "How is it, Sakai, are you still used to the life of the group?" How does it compare to when you were at the root? ”

I didn't expect Tenzo to suddenly mention himself, Sai didn't show panic on his face, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for the captain's relationship, although I'm still adapting to the normal team formation mode, I think I'll be able to integrate it soon." As for the difference with the roots...... It should be a little different. ”

"That's good. After all, you're the Hokage-sama's special person for me to take care of. ”

Tenzo said with a smile.

Sakai nodded slightly, the smile on his face retracted.

He knew that Tenzo had been wary of himself, and this was a warning to himself not to do any tricks in this team.

Unfortunately, he didn't get a mission to Naruto's detriment, at least not yet, his superiors hadn't asked him to do anything in the squad.

"However, if you really fit into this team, I think you will benefit a lot. I can understand some of your thoughts, after all, I have been a member of the Roots in the past. ”

Hearing Tenzo say this, not only Sakai, but also Naruto and Sakura were also shocked.

"Captain Yamato, you ......"

"That was a long time ago, nothing to blame."

Tenzo said with a smile.

"Speaking of which......" Sakura seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked, "I wanted to ask from the beginning, why did you, Captain Yamato, use the Wood Escape Ninjutsu that only the original Hokage-sama did?" ”

Sakura asked the question, and both Naruto and Sakai looked at them with curiosity.

For Sakura's question, Tenzo did not answer, but changed the topic:

"Okay, without further ado, it's time to go on a mission. Although the destination this time is still in the territory of the Fire Country, Konoha is a bit far away, so it is best to arrive before noon. ”

Seeing Tenzo's skillful shift of topic, Naruto cut off unpleasantly, but didn't say anything, followed Tenzo's footsteps, and began to set off.

◎

"This mission is patrolling?"

The Hokage's office, as the eighth class leader Kaminobu Hong, took the task scroll from Tsunade's hand, glanced at the content displayed on it, and frowned.

Seeing that Red was deep in thought, Tsunade nodded unconcerned and said, "Yes, according to the patrol officers of the border troops, a group of unknown forces have entered the Land of Fire. Not only that, after the unknown force infiltrated the Fire Country, a letter came from the Ghost Country, and they wanted to temporarily send some teams into the Fire Country to facilitate their investigation of some things. ”

"Did Hokage-sama agree?"

Hong's brows furrowed even deeper, this matter also involved the country of ghosts, which made her feel that things were tricky.

"No, how could I possibly accede to such a request. In any case, the safety of the Fire Nation should be protected by Konoha himself, not by the hands of people from other countries. For this mission, I have asked Kai's team to set off to investigate first. And the task of your eighth squad is to join forces with Kai's team and use the search ability of your team members to find out this unknown force from the shadows. ”

Tsunade tapped the table and said loudly.

"Don't have a specific goal? And the Fire Nation is so big, if you don't regulate a range......"

Red wants more information.

Only in this way, once the information is obtained, it will be too difficult for them to search for the eighth class within the scope of the Fire Country.

"There's no more, just this information. I know this task is a bit difficult for strong people, but now other squads have their own tasks, and the only team that has spare and is good at searching is your eighth squad. ”

Tsunade replied.

"I see."

"Also, if you encounter someone from the Oni Country, don't clash with them unless you have to. Just drive those unknown guys out of the Fire Country. ”

After a pause, Tsunade reminded Hong.

"Yes, then I'm leaving."

Red nodded heavily, took the quest scroll, and turned to leave the office.

◎

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama has already ordered that except for the necessary people who enter and leave the Oni Country, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter without Konoha documents. If you trespass, you can only annihilate it as an enemy. ”

Stationed at the gate of the Konoha camp on the western border of the Fire Country, a shinobi was at the gate of the camp and intercepted the three people who wanted to enter the Fire Country.

"Can't you be accommodating? We suspect that a dangerous group has broken into the territory of the Fire Nation and may pose a threat to the people of your country. ”

For this Konoha Shinobi's refutation, Aya did not get angry, but continued to understand the reason, moved with emotion, and tried to convince the Konoha Shinobi.

However, no matter what Aya says, this Konoha Shinobu is extremely resolute.

"This is Hokage-sama's order, and we can only do what we are told. Moreover, since you said that there are dangerous elements who have broken into the Land of Fire, that is our Konoha business, and we don't need the help of your Ninja in the Land of Demons. If you understand, please leave. ”

Konoha Shinobu still sternly refused and never let go.

"Acting captain, since they don't agree, let's go. Anyway, what happened has nothing to do with us. ”

Hisashi Yamazaki put his hands behind his head and didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"Hey, Yamazaki, this is our mission!"

Xiang Ryu glared at him dissatisfied.

"But this is someone else's territory, and they won't let us do anything. If you trespass without permission, it may lead to diplomatic conflicts. ”

Yamazaki glanced at Xiang Ryu and said helplessly.

Cai looked sideways at the two people beside him, and was about to speak, when a voice interjected:

"What's going on here?"

Everyone looked at the person, a man with watermelon hair in his thirties, his jet-black hair shining brightly, and he was wearing a green tight-fitting ninja suit, and he looked like a kappa overall.

This man is none other than Konoha Kamitoshi Maitkai, and behind him, there are two men and a woman, who are his students Hinata Ninji, Li Luo, and Tian Tian.

As soon as Kai arrives, he asks what's going on here.

"It's Kai."

This Konoha Shinobi obviously knows Kai, and judging from the tone of his voice, it seems that the relationship is not bad.

"These three people are ninjas from the Land of Oni, and they are chasing a group of dangerous people who want to enter the Land of Fire to search...... However, Hokage-sama's side issued a death order not to allow the ninjas of the Oni Country to enter the search, and I have sternly rejected them. ”

The Konoha Shinobi explained the situation here, and Kai nodded seriously when he heard it.

That's exactly what they're here for, to investigate a group of unknown people who have broken into the realm of the Fire Nation, and judging from the methods used by these unknown people to hide their whereabouts, there is no doubt that they are a group of ninjas with extraordinary skills.

However, when he looked at the three of them, Kai had a look of surprise on his face.

"I remember you were ......"

Apparently recognized the identities of the three people.

Cai didn't answer, just glanced at Ning Ci, who was looking at him, and a sharp battle intent seemed to flash in the other party's eyes, and he frowned slightly.

His instincts told him that if he continued to stay here, he would get into a lot of trouble.

"In that case, then we will take our leave. I hope that those people will not cause any serious trouble in the land of fire within your borders. ”

Aya had no idea of talking to Konoha's people, and after saying this, she quickly left the camp where the Konoha ninjas were stationed with Karu and Yamazaki Hisa.

Leaving the camp where Konoha was, the three of them came to a clearing more than ten kilometers away, surrounded by dense trees, shading the sky and the sun, even the sun's rays were hidden, so it was still a forest during the day, and it looked as bleak as dusk.

"Judging from the current situation, that group of people has infiltrated the Fire Country, and Konoha has a more resolute attitude and forbids us to enter and search."

Color: Analyze the current situation.

"Can't you learn from them to sneak in?"

Xiang Ryu speaks her mind.

"We are ninjas with a belonging, and our entry and exit from all countries will be strictly censored, especially the territories of the rest of the great powers. These countries have a very strong sense of guarding against foreign ninjas, and they are not on the same level as small countries. ”

Moreover, even in small countries, it is better to report it to local managers to avoid causing trouble outside the mission.

The only group of ninjas who can stay in the Land of Fire for a long time is the wandering shrine maiden and the debt collectors who are responsible for debt collection.

You can sneak in, but if you are caught sneaking in, you will get into a lot of diplomatic trouble.

After all, the Fire Nation has a huge power, at least in its own territory, and will not allow the ninjas of other countries to act unscrupulously.

Aya hates trouble, so the idea of sneaking into the Fire Nation to investigate disappeared directly from his mind.

"However, once their range of activities is determined, it is only a matter of time before they are found. Yamazaki, let's see if there are any other activity groups around, and by the way, tell Mr. Yan that the goal has been found. We just have to wait outside, that group of people can't stay in the land of fire forever. ”

"Okay."

Hearing the order of the acting team leader, Yamazaki did not hesitate, took out the communication tool from his backpack, pulled out the antenna, and began to connect the signals of the surrounding action teams to make contact.

◎

"I didn't expect it to be so troublesome just to expel the wolves, it's almost dark."

Knocking out the last wolf, Naruto touched the sweat on his face, gasped for a moment, and then looked up into the sky, realizing that the sun had sunk to the west, and most of the sky had been plunged into darkness.

"This time...... Looks like I'll have to spend the night in this village, and I'll go back tomorrow morning. ”

Tenzo also glanced at the sky, thinking that it was somewhat inconvenient to travel at night, and at the end of the day, he was also a little tired.

There is nothing big going on in the village now, so there is no need to rush so much.

"Well, what do you two think?"

Tenzo looked at Sakai and Sakura.

"I'm fine."

Sakura shook her head.

Sakai also smiled and said, "I'm okay with that." ”

Tenzo got the answer, nodded slightly, and led the three of them back to the village where the wolves needed to be expelled, and discussed with the village chief, and got two empty rooms from the village chief very smoothly.

"Sakura has one room for one person, and three of us have one room. There's no problem with this distribution, right? ”

Stopping in front of the two empty houses, Tenzo turned around and asked.

"Three men crammed into one house......"

The corners of Naruto's mouth twitched as he looked at the cramped house.

Also, this is not a place for people to live at all, but a small warehouse or something.

"Don't pick and choose, if you're a girl, it's not that you can't be given preferential treatment."

Tenzo patted Naruto on the shoulder.

And Naruto is thinking about something else, as long as it's a girl, it's no problem?

"If so, why don't you give it a try?"

For example, use tricks like the art of seduction.

"What to try?"

Sakai asked, turning his head.

"Ah, nothing, I didn't say anything! Sakai, you heard me wrong! ”

Naruto quickly covered his mouth, and his intuition told him that if he used the seduction technique here, he would definitely be beaten badly by Sakura.

"Really? Naruto, you're such a strange person. ”

"You're not qualified to speak of me, in my opinion, you're a weirdo."

Hearing Sakai's words, Naruto responded with some dissatisfaction.

No, not at all.

Maybe it was the lack of a common feeling, and he felt that he couldn't work with Sakai.

It's the same with the mission, you can't see him as a being like Sasuke.

If it's Sasuke...... Thinking of this, Naruto's face was a little lonely and he sighed.

Sakai noticed Naruto's sigh and didn't say anything.

Night soon came, and in the remote village, surrounded by silence and darkness.

In the cramped warehouse, Naruto and the three of them were crammed into it.

Because it is so backward, there is no place for electricity in the village, and it is lit by candles and kerosene lamps.

"Captain Yamato, don't you have the conditions to connect to electricity in this village?"

Not to look down, Naruto just said what he really thought in his heart.

In Konoha, he is accustomed to a convenient life and the use of electricity, and suddenly living in such a place where there is no connection to electricity, it is inevitable that he will be a little uncomfortable.

"You're really naïve, do you think that every place in the Fire Country is Konoha?"

Sakai laughed out loud at Naruto's innocent remarks.

Maybe he didn't mean to discriminate himself, but to Naruto, it sounded full of mockery.

"Sakai, don't say a word."

Tianzo glanced at Sakai helplessly, this guy still doesn't have the spirit of teamwork.

Then, he turned his gaze to Naruto and said;

"This kind of thing is actually very common, and as Sakai said, a prosperous place like our Konoha is very rare in the Land of Fire. Basically, only a few large cities in China can compare. And all of this is also thanks to the hard work of the Hokage of the past generations. ”

Tenzo told Naruto something in general terms.

"Is that so?"

Naruto tilted his head, looking like he didn't quite understand.

"It's pretty much the same, every task is an accumulation of experience and cognition. Maybe you'll understand when you see more things one day. ”

Tenzo smiled.

Naruto crouched there in confusion, not knowing what to think.

"Alright, rest early, and we'll have to hurry back to the village early tomorrow morning. Good night. ”

Tenzo yawned, leaned his back against the wall, closed his eyes and began to rest.

"Good night."

Sakai also said goodnight, looked for a clearing and began to lie down on his side.

"What, I went to bed so early, I'll go first."

Naruto felt very bored as he saw that both of them went to bed so early, so he cautiously walked past the two of them and walked out of the warehouse.

The night air was cool, the moon was exceptionally white and bright, Naruto shivered, and walked towards the woods not far from the storehouse.

Naruto whistled in the open woods as he unzipped his pants and began to untie his hands.

Halfway through the liberation, suddenly there was a whooshing sound in the woods.

"Who!?"

The urine that was released suddenly flowed backwards, causing Naruto's body to slap a spirit.

After patrolling around for a week and finding it pitch black, Naruto swallowed his saliva and his voice trembled:

"Is it Sakura? Or Captain Yamato? Sakai? ”

I called the names of three people in a row, but there was still no response.

Then suddenly there was the sound of salsa in the woods, the sound of a light wind blowing the leaves.

……

In the warehouse, Tenzo opened his eyes in an instant, and after Sakai slowed down, he also opened his eyes.

The two of them who opened their eyes, after glancing at each other, rushed out of the warehouse without saying a word, and came to the place where Naruto had just relieved.

All that was left was dampness, and Naruto had disappeared from it.

Not only that, but in the bushes next to them, two shadow ninjas who fell to the ground and passed out in a coma were also found, incapacitated.

Tianzang's face was serious, and he knew that this was a big deal.

Naruto is missing.

"Sakai, call Sakura, I-"

Before Tenzo could finish speaking, Sakai's figure had already disappeared from the spot, chasing him alone.

◎

"Hehe, Konoha's little mouse, it's really chasing after you."

The short-haired boy who was running in front looked at Sakai, who was chasing after him relentlessly, and sneered.

I saw that he was holding a strange blue three-pronged sword in his hand, looking at Sakai, who was constantly approaching him, full of confidence.

"Ninja Law Super Beast Pseudo-Painting!"

Sakai didn't get the slightest anger at the short-haired boy's ridicule, and drew with a brush on the scroll very calmly, and in an instant, the two fierce tigers let out a tiger roar, rushed out of the scroll, and opened their teeth and claws to bite the short-haired boy.

Seeing this, the short-haired young man's face remained unchanged, and he clenched the blue three-pronged sword in his hand and shook it gently.

Three long swords like long snakes immediately pierced through, piercing the silence of the night sky and piercing directly through the chests of the two fierce tigers.

The fierce tiger, which was under onslaught, turned into black ink and spilled from mid-air.

And the remaining 'long snake' shot very flexibly at Sakai, who was rushing towards him.

Sai's complexion changed slightly, and his body rolled out on his side, dodging the enemy's attack in embarrassment.

"Telescopic sword? But this attack range ......"

The distance between himself and the short-haired boy is at least ten meters or more, that is to say, on the premise of having a flexible attack, the three-pronged sword in the opponent's hand also has a long-range attack ability.

And......

Sakai glanced around, but found no sign of the rest.

And the short-haired teenager didn't carry the missing Naruto, and his face couldn't help but sink.

Bait?

"It seems that you almost understand that your companion is not on my side, and you have been tricked. And you, too, will die here! Use this forbearance tool of mine, the Dragon's Eye Tooth Separation Hidden Knife, to give you a ride in person! ”

The short-haired boy laughed viciously and instilled the chakra in his body into the three-pronged sword.

The three-pronged sword suddenly underwent an astonishing change, and the three-pronged sword body, which was originally like a telescopic sword, immediately transformed into three blue water dragons, like a living creature opening its eyes and grinning at Sakai in mid-air.

"Die!"

Swinging the three-pronged sword that turned into three water dragons, the short-haired boy seemed to see Sakai die miserably in front of him, and the smile on his face became more and more hideous.

Bang!

The hideous smiling face is frozen under the moonlight.

The straight light pulled out of the air flashed away.

Then, in that instant, the short-haired boy's head exploded to the ground like a watermelon that had been cracked open with a stick.

The headless body swayed weakly twice, and fell to the ground.

Sakai was also shocked, and without thinking much about it, he retreated directly, covering his body with the help of trees, and carefully looked around.

On the trunk of a tree seven hundred meters to the west, Aya gently put down the sniper rifle that was set up in mid-air by herself, and her arm was a little numb, but this paralysis quickly disappeared from her body.

"Really, if you continue to stay in the Land of Fire, you might be able to live a little longer. In this way, the Four Heavenly Elephant People in the Craftsman Ninja Village have gone to one of them. ”

He exhaled softly, pointed into the radio communicator placed next to his mouth, and began a conversation:

"Yamazaki, you should be in the sky right now, right? One of the objectives has been solved, and you go over and bring the corpse back. The next step is to hunt the remaining three. ”

"Acting Captain, is it okay to bring the corpse back?"

Yamazaki said in an uncertain tone.

Cai responded unhurriedly:

"It's okay, isn't there instructions from above? All but the boss had to do was bring back their corpses. ”
