Konoha Thief

Chapter 94 "Guarantee" for the mission

Whether the chamber pot is an antique or not is impossible for Nongfu Taro to verify, but what is certain is that the ninja sent by Konoha to carry out the mission is really here.

In Black Moon Village, in a spacious wooden house.

Dozens of villagers have arrived at the scene, and the people surrounded in the center are of course Xia Shu and the others.

In small villages, it is not possible to set up light poles and cables like Konoha Village. The lighting in the house is entirely dependent on candlelight. The orange candlelight flickers slightly, reflecting the shadows of people in the house.

At this time, the figures slowly parted from the outside, giving way to a path.

"Village Chief, you are finally here!" The burly farmer named Taro's eyes lit up, and he glanced at the ninja-sama quietly.

"Hmm." The village head is an old man with a hunched back. After seeing Taro, he nodded slightly, then walked forward, and handed back the mission book with both hands respectfully, "I hope Mr. Ninja will forgive me, what happened a few days ago really frightened the village No end, what an offense, forgive me, forgive me!"

"It doesn't matter, just after the war, it always takes some time to return to calm." Aoki Gennosuke shook his head with a smile, expressing his indifference, and put away the task book casually.

"That's good, that's good." The village chief thanked him again and again.

"Village chief..." someone urged in a low voice.

In fact, most of the villagers gathered here are very anxious. According to the past practice, the bandits from Black Moon Valley will come again soon.

"En." The village chief nodded, and then looked at Gennosuke Aoki expectantly, "Master Ninja, the bandits in the Black Moon Valley will be out of the mountain in a few days to mobilize them. The ninja stole all the money in the village, and if there is no money in exchange for a way to survive, the bandits will definitely slaughter the village!"

Speaking of this, the village head was so excited that he even knelt down and said sadly, "Master Ninjas, please save everyone!"

The moment the voice fell, other villagers gathered here also followed suit and knelt down.

Kuno Kuroyu, who had never experienced such a battle before, suddenly felt like sitting on pins and needles, and his expression became anxious, but he still knew that this place was not a village, and Aoki Gennosuke should be the main one, sitting in the distance with his back tensed.

Xia Shu also looked at Gennosuke Aoki, waiting for the person in charge to speak, although even if he didn't say anything, he had already expected the result.

"This is our task." Gennosuke Aoki nodded calmly, not at all moved by the village chief's miserable words.

Tasks can be abandoned, even if the words are never spoken, but it is a fact of existence.

This crusade mission is only C-level, but after all, the war has just ended, and there may not be any remaining ninjas scattered in the land of fire. If it happens that the bandits in the Black Moon Valley are disguised as ninjas from the enemy country, then it may not be impossible to give up the mission.

Of course, the probability of this is pitifully low, unless his team is overwhelmed by bad luck.

It seemed that he didn't hear the hidden meaning in Aoki Gennosuke's words. After hearing the firm words, the village hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Ninja, the old man can feel at ease now!"

After getting a positive "guarantee", the village chief dispersed the villagers and greeted them.

"Dinner is ready. The house here is the place to live. You can rest here after you are full." The village chief suddenly coughed weakly twice, shook his head with a wry smile, and said with difficulty, "The old man is old and tired." Hey, Taro will be next...cough cough cough!"

"Village chief, you can go home and rest, leave it to me." Taro supported the village chief, then patted his chest and promised.

"Okay, okay." The village chief looked at Taro with relief, and then left.

Taro took the four of them to the hut where dinner was prepared, had a full meal with them, and told some things about the past. Xia Shu listened carefully, but shook his head secretly, because there were no noteworthy details.

Taro left with a full belch, and Natsuki and the others also went to rest in the house. Naturally, they had checked everything before to make sure there was no problem.

In the house, a bean candle light.

"There seems to be no problem." Kuno Heiyu folded his arms under the candlelight, with a serious expression on his face.

"Wouldn't that be great." Xia Shu saw through him at a glance, and joked with a smile: "You don't have to become a headless black rain."

"Yes!" Kuno Heiyu nodded solemnly, and grinned happily.

However, he felt something was wrong when he smiled and smiled. How could he be exposed so easily for his serious disguise? !
His dull and stupid appearance, even the monkey named Xiao Zhi couldn't bear to look directly at him, and quickly covered his round eyes with his small hands, um, the kind with gaps.

"Ah! Natsuki, you're threatening me again!" Kuno Heiyu suddenly became exasperated, and rushed towards Natsuki to fight, and then was pressed on the soft bed by his back-scissored arms.

At night, a slight snoring sound came from the opposite side, Xia Shu routinely filled the hole, opened his eyes and vaguely saw Kuno Heiyu's sleeping posture stretched out.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, this guy's sleep quality is excellent, and it's impossible for headless black rain to appear in his dreams.

Then his eyes moved slightly, and a figure leaned against the wall in front of the small window, looking sideways.

"Teacher?" Xia Shu called out in a low voice, then approached lightly, through the narrow window, only the dim but quiet night could be seen.

Such a quiet scene really doesn't seem to be uncertain, maybe this time is a pure C-level crusade mission.

"Yeah." Aoki Gennosuke seemed to think so, "Go to sleep, it's enough to have my shadow avatar standing guard outside."

"Then teacher, good night." Xia Shu nodded, lay down on the bed again, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

There was no wave all night.

The next day, while having breakfast, Aoki Gennosuke stopped serving vegetables, and a piece of rabbit meat fell from the chopsticks into the bowl.

"It's okay." Seeing the young man staring at him, Gennosuke Aoki tilted his neck, shook his head and said, "The chakra of the shadow clone has been exhausted, and the exhaustion has been suppressed all of a sudden. It's just a little uncomfortable."

"Oh." Xia Shu nodded clearly, and continued to deal with the food in his bowl.

Taro came from not far away at this time.

"Brother Taro, let's eat together!" Kuno Heiyu greeted, teasing Xiao Zhi to jump up and down with the meat in his chopsticks, only caring about laughing and refusing to give Xiao Zhi, finally the little monkey ran to a corner to draw circles in anger.

"Thank you, Brother Ninja, but I've already eaten." Taro scratched his head in embarrassment. He ate a lot of dinner yesterday, and he was reprimanded by the village chief just now.

"The village chief asked me to ask some of you, when will we enter the Black Moon Valley to exterminate bandits?" Taro then asked seriously.

"According to the usual practice, when will the bandits from Black Moon Valley arrive?" Gennosuke Aoki asked without answering, and glanced at Taro, without stopping to deal with the food in the bowl.

"About five more days." Taro answered silently with downcast eyes.

"That time is enough." After the words fell, Gennosuke Aoki put down the bowl.
