Chapter 59: The Mission of Jiusen Village
Uchiha Yu did not rush into the village, but hid in the mountains near the village, and waited until dawn to confirm that there were no sand hidden ninjas, and then found the village chief who issued the mission.
After showing the mission book and forehead protection to prove his identity and intention, and dispelling the village chief's fear of strange ninjas, the old man introduced the mission to him.
Jiusen Village is a small village that makes a living from the logging industry, and the daily life of the villagers is to go up the mountain to cut wood and then weave it into wooden rafts. When the water flow in the valley is at its smoothest, the villagers push the rafts into the river, and the strongest people are responsible for releasing them down the river to sell them at the mouth of the river.
The money from the sale of wood buys grain, salt, cloth, iron tools, etc., loads them into small boats, and hauls them back to Jiusen Village by pulling fibers to meet the living needs of the villagers. Because the slopes around Jiusen Village are all slopes that slope more than 30 degrees, the village can only sit on the mountainside, and there is no land for growing food at all, so the grain purchased is necessary to maintain the survival of the village.
But this year, there is a problem with the river water, the amount of water is too small, and there are at least a dozen passes along the way, and the wooden raft cannot cross.
The villagers went up the river and checked the river for more than a hundred miles, but they didn't find a problem, but if they went upstream, they exceeded the villagers' ability and had to turn to the ninja for help.
Although Jiusen Village is remote, the villagers have money and knowledge, so they sent people to the southern estuary and found the Konoha Village agency to issue a mission.
But this task is actually problematic.
Because you don't need to fight against ninjas, the mission level is only C-level.
Although the task reward has reached the top 50,000 taels of C-level tasks, the goal of the mission is not only to find the problem, but also to solve the problem, and the difficulty of the final goal cannot be determined, and even if you want to find the problem, the scope of exploration is very large, and the final time required is completely uncertain. If you add the round-trip distance, it may take more than ten days to complete the task, and the average mission income is too low.
Not to mention that high-level ninjas can't look down on it, even newly graduated lower ninjas can't look down on it, going out for more than ten days, running thousands of miles, and earning 50,000 taels, which is not cost-effective at all.
It's even better to do the simplest tasks in the village, and you can earn several times as much money in a dozen days.
This quest hung up for several days, and no ninja claimed it, and was finally picked up by Yu Uchiha, who was bent on sneaking out of the Fire Country.
In fact, he didn't pay much attention to this task, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out and went to the cat castle first, and it took nine days to come to the mission location.
But in front of the head of Jiumori Village, Uchiha Yu was still very professional, Konoha's forehead guard board was directly on his forehead, the mission book was neat, and the information asked was also extremely detailed, including when the water level began to drop, what the villagers found in their exploration, whether there were dead fish or other animals, and whether there were special plants falling.
It turned out that the problem was really solved, six days before the water level dropped, there was a slight earthquake, and then there was a slight flash flood, which was small but exceptionally turbid, with a large number of branches with green leaves.
Although no field investigation has yet begun, the Uchiha has already guessed that 80% of the reason for the decrease in water volume is a landslide, and that one of the tributaries of the river is blocked by a landslide, resulting in a decrease in water volume.
It is difficult to say whether the problem can be solved at this time, it depends on the specific situation of the terrain change, if it is a landslide that forms a dammed lake, as long as the dammed objects are carefully removed, the problem will be solved.
But if the terrain changes and the mountain shifts, he won't be able to solve the problem.
After all, moving mountains is one of the great supernatural powers that reach the heavens and the earth, second only to chasing stars and taking the moon, and it is a great supernatural power that Uchiha Yu can't even think of.
If he really mastered such supernatural powers, he would still run the three caves, calculate the Uchiha to stop the water, and plan the three generations of Hokage?
He, it shouldn't be him, and in the next second, he will let the three generations of Hokage know that he is not actually Uchiha Yu, his real name is - Motherland Yu.
……
The unrestrained mind let the Uchiha know that his heart ape was doing something again, which forced the Uchiha to build a shelter after leaving the village of Kumori and heading north along the river.
When he carefully handled his wish, defeated the baboon that turned into a golden-haired and blue face, and turned it into spiritual nourishment that nourished his soul, it was already the early morning of the next day.
Miwa Masashi was worried and reminded: "Yu, you have been dealing with the heart ape for longer and longer, but the interval is getting shorter and shorter, will there be any problems?" ”
The refreshed Uchiha Yu comforted the tanuki cat: "Don't worry, I have chosen the path of pure natural energy as the method and chakra as the technique, and this is the ordeal I should endure." ”
"Besides, the restlessness of the heart ape is also the source of my progress, the more frequent the rebellion of this dead monkey, the greater the strength, it means that the better the effect of my foundation building, just wait until this hurdle is passed."
"Well, hurry up and meow, you're so scary like this now."
"Thank you for your blessings."
"Let's go, it's a bit of a waste of time, we'll have to speed it up next."
"The task is not in a hurry, why are you so nervous all of a sudden?"
"According to the intelligence, the target of this mission may be a newly formed dammed lake, which is very likely to be a natural disaster from time to time."
A dammed lake is a unique disaster in the mountains, where the original river channel becomes a new lake due to landslides or mudslides, when the original river channel is blocked and water accumulates.
If the dams that block the river are monolithic, the lake can be long-lasting, creating a beautiful waterfall at the other end.
But this is rare.
Generally speaking, the dam is a debris such as rocks, gravel, sediment, trees, etc., and the degree of solidity is not guaranteed at all, and the water level of the lake rises to a certain level, and the dam failure is inevitable.
The accumulation of river water, mixed with debris from the dam failure, can form a more terrible impact than any flash flood, and the impact of the flood will affect otherwise safe places, often causing severe casualties.
Uchiha Yu was a little worried that his employer would be wiped out by the flood before his mission was completed.
He didn't care about the 100% mission completion rate, but because of his own delay, he caused the death of dozens or hundreds of innocent people, which is different from killing the enemy who endangered him.
What's more, Uchiha Yu is now facing a demon in his heart, and the ghost knows if he will create a third heart shape in advance because of guilt, or if the heart ape will degenerate into a demon ape.
Intuition tells Uchiha that it is very dangerous.
The Uchiha didn't dare to waste any more time, and jumped into the deep valley with his legs, and ran up the river heading upstream.
"Ahhh——,h
"Meow?" Miwa Masashi tilted his head and suddenly said: "I remember you said: the heart has a desire, so there is greed, greed and uncontrol, and hard work. ”
“……”
"Isn't that a meow?"
"You're right, I'm too greedy, it's because I'm greedy for more, and I try to do everything at once, which is why I got into my current predicament."
"I've done the job, and I'm going to slow down anyway."
"Miwa Yashi, when the task is completed, let's play a lap and then slowly return to the village."
"Good meow!"
In just three hours, the Uchiha traveled nearly 260 kilometers up the parched river to find the source of the problem that caused the water to halve.
