Chapter 81: The Red Hair That Spits Gold Coins?
Asuka rested his chin on the back of his chair and asked curiously at the village chief.
"Since those red hairs have become a threat to you.
Why don't you run? Or is it to inform Konoha? ”
"It's... This..."
The village chief pulled his hair, but he didn't say a reason for a long time.
Looking at the village chief's obvious and hidden look, Asuka shrugged his shoulders and spoke.
"Old man, if you don't tell it all, it's hard for me to help you solve your troubles.
And I didn't see you inform Konoha about this, so I knew there was something wrong with my feet. ”
"Alas!"
The village chief hesitated for a moment.
Then he let out a long sigh, pointed to the mountain to the south of the village, and preached.
"One day three years ago, a villager who went up to the mountains to hunt found the group of red-haired monsters in the Nanshan mountain pass.
They ran fast through the woods, their red hair draped over their faces, making it difficult to see their faces, and their hair would move on its own.
Originally, we were going to inform Konoha that we were coming, but in the middle of the night, the monsters came to the door and threatened us from door to door not to tell their whereabouts. ”
Speaking of this, the old man suddenly stood up, and he slapped the table with his big hand, and said excitedly.
"Lao Yu was only 77 years old three years ago, which is the age when he is full of enthusiasm, how can he be threatened by monsters.
At that time, I was going to inform Konoha despite my family's objections..."
Hearing this, Asuka raised his eyebrows.
Recently, the village has not received any news of red hair in three years.
"Old man, get to the point."
"Oh~"
Seeing that the ninja lord was not very interested in his bloody deeds, the village chief smashed his mouth, sat back in his chair, and continued.
"It's a pity that my 5-year-old grandson is holding on to Lao Yu, otherwise Lao Yu would have gone to Konoha three years ago."
"Heh~"
Asuka sneered, not answering the old man's words.
He doubted that if he took it, the old man would be able to pull him for a day.
"When the red-haired monsters knocked on the door, they asked us to provide food.
How could the old man agree to give the food to someone of unknown origin? ”
Speaking of this, he stood up again, pointed to the villagers outside the courtyard, and said with a look of hatred.
"It's all because of these short-sighted guys who haven't seen much money.
When they saw the money given by the red-haired monster, their thoughts of reporting in their hearts faded.
Give the food to the monster, which can not only follow the monster's wishes, but also sell the food at a good price.
It's a bit of both..."
Without waiting for the village chief to finish speaking, Asuka reached out and tapped on the chair, wondering.
"So, you followed that group of villagers and sold it for three years??"
"Nor did it..."
The village chief stroked the two white hairs on his head, then raised two fingers at the bird, and said with a blushing face and a heartbeat.
"Two and a half years... Just two and a half years.
In the last six months, after we handed over the grain, the monsters stopped giving money.
Originally, we could barely make a living with the money given by the monster.
But this time the livelihood is really unsustainable.
The old man was so hungry last night that I even saw my father come to pick me up in a hazy way..."
Asuka nodded, a thoughtful look on his face.
That group of monsters is probably the remnants of the Vortex Clan.
And this group of villagers saw the money, and they didn't report it to Konoha.
But...
He hadn't heard that the Uzumaki Clan still stole children??
Thinking of this, Asuka stared at the old man and continued to ask.
"How did you take those whirlpools... Red Fur got in touch with the lost child in the village? ”
Grunt!
The village chief swallowed his saliva, and his eyes suddenly became frightened.
"Three months ago, after they didn't give money, we weren't going to give food.
But later, the children of several villagers were inexplicably lost.
Isn't this a silent threat?
Then, we gave another three months of food.
For these three months, there have been no cases of loss of the child.
But now, there is really no grain left in the village, and all the wild vegetables have been sent out.
We can only turn to the ninja-sama of Konoha for help now. ”
Until this time.
He finally figured out what was going on.
It was a group of whirlpool remnants who ran here and exchanged food from this group of villagers, and judging from the fact that they didn't report Konoha, the money given should be quite a lot.
If it weren't for the possible financial crisis of the remnants of the whirlpool in the past six months, it is estimated that this group of villagers would not have poked this matter out.
"Ninja-sama!"
Looking at the bird that suddenly fell silent, the village chief called out cautiously.
He also knew that he was withholding important information in this mission.
If the enemy is a ninja or something, Ninja Village will generally set the mission as a high-priced B-rank mission.
But... They don't have the money to post B-class missions...
"Teacher!"
Hinata Hanahua looked at Asuka hesitantly and whispered.
"The mission seems to be out of scope, do you want to give up?"
"Alas!"
Asuka sighed suddenly, then turned his head to look at Hinata, who was standing next to him, and commanded.
"Flowey, get ready to fight!"
"Huh? Be! ”
"Ninja-sama..."
The village chief looked at the bird who stood up and said with tears in his eyes.
"Are you really going to help us get rid of those monsters?"
Asuka scratched his head, glanced at the whimsical old man, and said speechlessly.
"It's not that I want to expel the monster, it's that the monster has come.
Moreover, your village has been recorded in a small book by me, and it has been blocked. ”
With that, he stood up and walked out the door.
Just now, he had sensed a chakra rapidly approaching the village.
The direction of the chakra came from the south.
If what the village chief said is true, there will definitely be a forbearance in a group of whirlpool remnants.
I brought three lower forbearances with me, and it was really not easy to run.
...
It's approaching evening.
It was getting dark.
In the unlit mountain villages, the darkness is even thicker than elsewhere.
Well?
Hinata, who was staring ahead with her white eyes, stared at the rooftop at the entrance of the village.
There was an extra slender red figure.
Against the backdrop of darkness, the blood-red hair makes people shudder.
"Red... Red-haired monsters. ”
The villagers who were sitting in front of the village chief's house to eat and screamed one by one when they saw the guy with windless hair.
"There it is!"
Hinata Hana stretched out her hand and pointed to the roof there, and after shouting, she threw the kunai out of her hand.
Boom!
Kunai sinked deep into the wooden roofs of the villagers' houses, and the red figure had vanished in place.
In the next moment, Hinata Huahua looked at the red figure that suddenly appeared in front of her, and her pupils shrank.
Bang!
Immediately afterward, she felt an attack on her chest, and the whole person flew backwards.
"You..."
After cleaning up this white-eyed guy, the red figure glanced at Mao Yue Xiyan and Iruka, and then his eyes fell on the village chief, and he said in a low voice.
"You actually called the Konoha ninja."
As soon as the words fell, the red figure disappeared in place again, appearing in front of Mao Yue Xiyan.
The pale palm was raised high and fell down her neck.
Bang!
The moment the palm of his hand touched his neck, a puff of white smoke rose up.
Glancing at the shattered green tree, the red figure swept by, bypassing the stake conjured by the stand-in technique, and appeared directly in front of Iruka.
At this time.
Iruka was shaking as she held Kunai's hand.
This monster is so strong that he can't afford to fight it.
The first time he met an enemy ninja was in Konoha, and he knew that someone would definitely come to his aid after making a disturbance.
But now...
Syllable!
Finished!
Finished!
After muttering twice in his heart, he subconsciously shook his head.
Well?
Good... Seems to be fine?
Thinking of this, he opened his eyes and looked ahead.
Looking at the tall figure standing in front of him, Iruka suddenly said excitedly.
"Asuka-sensei."
Teacher?
The red figure looked at the Konoha ninja who was holding his arm, and his pupils shrank slightly.
What a whirlpool remnant!
Glancing at the other party's red hair like blood, Asuka looked behind him and frowned.
"A group of whirlpool remnants, just come down and you alone?"
When he sensed the chakra just now, he searched the village for her accomplices.
It seems that there is only one person coming down.
