Chapter 34: Ryuta Hiraoka III

Although Hakata Town is not close to Konoha Village, due to the time limit of the mission, Tomohiko and his party arrived in Hakata Town on the morning of the third day.

Looking at the caravans coming and going on the streets of Hakatacho, Baisha couldn't help but say: "No wonder that Taka Hiraoka wants to be a bandit here, I will choose here if I change it, seeing that there are many caravans, there must be a lot of oil and water." ”

"It's because there's a lot of oil and water, so the mayor of Hakata Town is rich, please let's find out about the surrounding bandits, this kind of thing, it's all one and the same. ”

Peng Yan glanced at Sakai, who was following the three of them, and then said, "Time is limited, so I won't delay." Baicha, Xiaonan, we will disperse in a while, and we will go separately to collect information about Hiraoka Ryuta's gang of bandits. Then, whether there is a harvest or not, when the sun sets, gather here. Action!"

............

Walking alone on the commercial street of Hakata Town, his eyes swept over the people around him from time to time, and Baicha was a little melancholy.

As one of the most prosperous cities in the Land of Fire, Hakata Town's population is far from comparable to that of Konoha Village. After the three of them entered this Hakata Town, it was like three water droplets entering the sea, and with a "boom", there was no trace. Trying to find a clue in such a situation is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"It's time to find it like this, damn the mission, there's no useful information at all, and there's still a time limit. ”

Baicha scolded and scolded, and couldn't help but sigh. In the final analysis, the ability of the three of them is too weak.

For example, if the three of them have a flying psychic beast, then if you go around the neighborhood, you can basically determine the location of Ryuta Hiraoka. Or, if one of the three of them knows the S-level ninjutsu of "multiple shadow clones", then asking for directions is not a matter of minutes?

Shaking his head, throwing these unnecessary things out of his mind, Baicha began to carefully look at the people around him again, ready to find a kind-looking person and go up and ask.

At this moment, suddenly two people sneaked up on them, attracting the attention of Baicha.

Not far in front of Baicha, two sturdy men were hurrying forward with packages on their backs. From time to time, they would stop and look around to make sure there was nothing wrong before moving on.

Seeing this scene, there seemed to be a bright light in Baicha's heart. After thinking about it carefully, Baicha cautiously followed.

The more he tracked these two people, the more he was sure that there was something wrong with them. Because these two people stopped and stopped, they seemed to walk a long distance, but in fact, they never left or right from this commercial street. And their frequent change of direction is actually just to get rid of the tail that may be in the back.

Finally, after going around for a long time, as if to make sure that they were not being followed, the two walked into an inconspicuous shop on the corner with the package on their backs.

Seeing the two of them enter the store, Baicha looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he suddenly turned over and ran up to the second floor of the store.

Seeing that a little guy was hiding in the corner and sleeping, Baicha did not alarm him, and tiptoed to the stairs, listening to the sound coming from downstairs.

"Boss, do you accept things here?"

"Then we'll have to see what it is. ”

"Porcelain made of gold, rice made of silver, katana made of brass. ”

"Oh, these are rare objects. Objectively, how are you going to sell it?"

"It's easy to say, as long as the price you give is right, I can spare you porcelain and rice, but this katana can't be sold cheaply. ”

After saying what seemed to be an incision, the shopkeeper's expression changed, and he said in a condensed voice: "Isn't it time yet, why did you come over?"

"The boss got the news that someone had posted a bounty on his mission in Konoha. One of the two men said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but exclaim, "What!? Did the ninja of Konoha take it, what is the mission level?"

"It's not clear what to do. However, the boss estimates that the wind will be tighter in the near future, so he sent the two of us over in advance and handed over the last batch of goods to you. The man said, handing over the package he was carrying.

Instead of opening it to check, he directly put the package away, and the shopkeeper nodded and said, "No problem, leave it to me." Is there anything else the boss has to give me an account?"

"The boss instructed that this batch of goods should not be in a hurry, it must be stable. Also, if there is good fine iron on the market, you might as well charge more without attracting attention. ”

"Jingtie, what does the boss want to do with this?" the shopkeeper asked suspiciously, I didn't hear that the boss had plans to recruit people, could it be that there were not enough weapons on the mountain?

"I don't know, anyway, the boss told you about it, you just have to remember it. It's nothing, we're leaving. ”

"Oh, bring these things back with you. ”

However, the man shook his head and said, "We don't go back, the boss told us that we have something to do." Remember, if you have the chance, charge more fine iron. ”

After speaking, the two men left in a hurry, leaving only the shopkeeper alone, sitting on the seat and frowning and pondering: "Jingtie, strange, this kind of thing, it's not easy to take it over, what does the boss want to do with this......"

Seeing that the target had left, Baicha retracted his body, thought for a while, and jumped off the wall to leave.

............

At sunset, the three of them met again.

I only heard Tomohiko say: "I asked, and I can only determine the stronghold of Ryuta Hiraoka, as given in the information, probably in the direction of the east of Hakata Town." Because all the caravans that were robbed were attacked on the road to the east, but the exact location could not be determined. What did you get out of it?"

Xiao Nan shook his head and said, "It's similar to what you asked, the caravan was attacked in a variety of locations, and the distance between different locations is quite long, so it's difficult to determine the specific location of Hiraoka Ryuta. ”

"Well, what about Baicha? How are you there?" Peng Yan is a little strange, Baicha, this guy, isn't he usually the first to stand up and speak, why is he still lagging behind today.

"There are some gains. ”

"Oh, let's hear it!" Peng Yan was overjoyed, it turned out that he had goods in his heart.

"Today, I met two people ......"

Listening to Baicha tell the two of them about today's experience, Xiao Nan said hesitantly: "But the 'boss' they are talking about must be Ryuta Hiraoka." ”

"You can't be wrong. Tomohiko deduced: "Didn't Baicha say that they mentioned 'someone issued a mission in Konoha', and the 'boss' in their mouth is likely to be Ryuta Hiraoka." ”

Baicha also agreed and said, "That's right, and now that time is pressing, we can't take a closer look." ”

"Okay. Hearing the words of the two, Xiao Nan also had to admit that Peng Yan and they were very thoughtful.

"Alright, tonight, let's go meet the shopkeeper!"

Tomahiko made the final decision.
