Konoha Thief

Chapter 95 Investigation
Taro was perfunctory away, and several people tidied up and prepared to act according to the original plan.

If the so-called plan cannot be clearly explained to Taro, it will cause certain risks, but in fact it is not an unspoken secret, it is just a routine way to deal with the mission of crusade against bandits.

Of course, although there is a strategy for this kind of crusade mission, it is the first time for the Qingmu team, so it still needs to be arranged.

"Senior Gu Jie squats to guard the village, Xia Shu and Hei Yu follow me to Black Moon Valley to investigate the situation."

After a brief order, the team separated immediately.

Kosuke Maruhoshi went directly to the center of Heiyue Village, jumped onto the roof, squinted his eyes to see all the movements of Heiyue Village, and any disturbance would attract his attention.

But this is obviously a leisurely job. Since there were no villagers colluding with thieves last night, the probability is even lower at this moment.

At the same time, Xia Shu and Kuno Heiyu followed Aoki Gennosuke to the outside of the Black Moon Valley.

Black Moon Valley is arc-shaped as a whole, and only the west side of the valley has a flat entrance and exit. It is not difficult to detect the sentinels guarding it from a distance. Therefore, the way into the valley, after careful consideration, finally chose the cliff on the north side.

Black Moon Valley, the northern cliff.

The steep cliff was bleakly cold and windy, but against the strong wind, the three figures walked upwards while keeping a slanted posture with the cliff.

"This can be regarded as an advanced step in tree climbing training, but it is also a skill commonly mastered by ninjas." Aoki Gennosuke turned sideways, looked down slightly, looked at the completely different states of the two teenagers, and shouted with the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.

This place is halfway up the cliff, and if you don't shout loudly, the sound won't come out at all.

At this time, Xia Shu easily caught up with Gennosuke Aoki, and now that the golden marrow pill is exhausted, his physique is not inferior to that of ordinary adults at all, and his chakra control power is not comparable, and he claims to be better than Gennosuke Aoki, so he is only behind The legs are not as long as the opponent.

"Hei Yu, work harder!" Aoki Gennosuke smiled at Xia Shu with satisfaction, and then shouted to the figure below: "Xia Shu and I are waiting for you here!"

His voice fluttered with the cold wind, Kuno Heiyu's legs trembled, and he gritted his teeth and stared like he was going to the execution ground.

Pushing up step by step, his legs trembled rhythmically with the cold wind, but he obviously didn't dare to keep up with the rhythm, just raised his head and stared, not daring to look down.

Finally, he caught up with Xia Shu.

"Don't be too nervous, Hei Yu." Xia Shu said with a chuckle, "We still have to go down."

After finishing speaking, he patted the stiff Kuno Kuroyu, turned around and chased after Aoki Gennosuke's back, leaving only Kuno Kuroyu trembling alone.

Climbing up the highest cliff, you can have a panoramic view of the Black Moon Valley.

In front of my eyes is a lush and luxuriant forest, in which there is a gurgling stream like a silver belt, winding and winding, flowing eastward from the end of the forest.

A row of houses is built along the stream, forming the appearance of a camp.

Naturally, the bandits started earlier than the villagers, so smoke from cooking houses could be seen curling up above the valley, so this is undoubtedly a good time to sneak in and investigate.

"It's a pity that I don't know how to escape, otherwise, along this stream, I can easily search around the bandit camp." With a glance, Gennosuke Aoki shook his head helplessly, and then put aside this unrealistic idea .

"Teacher Gennosuke, how do we sneak in?" Xia Shu looked at Gennosuke Aoki.

"The team doesn't perceive ninjas. If you still have to complete the reconnaissance mission, then usually you have to infiltrate." Gennosuke Aoki rubbed his chin and said the formulaic response, then smiled again, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a relaxed expression on his face: "Fortunately, this mission is just to hunt down bandits, so we can adapt to the situation later. Of course, this time it's just an investigation, so it's best not to attract attention. If it doesn't work..."

At the end of the paused words, Aoki Gennosuke made a gesture of "killing" with the sword in his hand, and Kuno Kuroyu shrank his neck subconsciously.

After a word of advice, the three of them spent some time going down the cliff, ran through the forest for a while, and sneaked into the camp.

The gurgling water made a slight sound, Xia Shu came to a house, leaned his back against the edge and looked sideways, took a glance and quickly retracted.

"Xia Shu, this way~" Kuno Kuroyu lowered his voice and called out cautiously.

Xia Shu nodded, took out his notebook and drew a few strokes, kicked his feet, and quickly caught up with him.

Kuno Kuroyu grinned, turned over and jumped onto the roof, then poked his head down and whispered: "Everything is normal!"

"Then continue." Xia Shu walked around the house and continued to rush forward.

The stream divided the valley into two sides, Gennosuke Aoki was in charge of one side, and Natsuki and Kuno Kuroyu were in charge of the other side. The main task was to roughly estimate the number of bandits and some details that needed attention.

Maybe it's because the terrain here is relatively low, and there are not many houses compared to the other side. The two of them sneaked and avoided all the way, but it was quite smooth. Occasionally, there were unexpected situations, and Xia Shu's perfect transformation technique relying on glasses was also confused , Finally, as agreed in advance, they came to gather in the forest under the cliff again.

"How is the situation?" When he returned, Gennosuke Aoki was already waiting.

"The number of people is not too many, there are only about forty people, and half of them are not threatening." Xia Shu took out his notebook, closed it, and put it away. "Other than that, there is nothing else that needs attention."

"Well, it's the same on the other side." Aoki Gennosuke said with a relaxed face and a smile on his hips: "Then you can be sure, this crusade mission is worthy of the name. To be honest, it is considered a pure mission after the war. Our luck."

"In that case, Mr. Gennosuke, when will we start the mission?" Xia Shu breathed out and asked.

"Let's go into the night." Gennosuke Aoki didn't hesitate, as if he had already considered this issue.

Hearing this answer, Xia Shu nodded.

Black Moon Valley is dark at night, and it is like a natural stage for ninjas to act. Even though bandits have lived here for a long time to some extent, they are not as good as ninjas with keen five senses.

"That's it, let's retreat first." Gennosuke Aoki waved his hand, and the three of them ran towards the cliff.

Kuno Kuroyu's legs trembled rhythmically, which made Natsuki and Aoki Gennosuke laugh.

It is unimaginable that ninjas are afraid of heights.

Black Moon Village.

In the open space, Kosuke Maruyoshi set up a large pot, put the meat and vegetables in after the water boiled, stewed for a while, added a variety of secret seasonings, and finally put the lid on the pot and waited for it to be fully cooked.

"Familiar fragrance!" With an excited cry, Kuno Heiyu rushed from a distance.

"Zhizhi!" The monkey threw down the firewood and went up to him, and then... came to nothing.

Kuno Kuroyu sat down in front of the stew pot, gulped down his saliva, and looked at Kosuke Maruhoshi with bright eyes, "Uncle Kosuke, is dinner ready?"
