Negative Master of Konoha

Chapter 23
Two days later, the caravan arrived at the end of the mission, in a border city in the country of Kawa.

For this mission, because they met a ninja, the mission level was upgraded to B-level. With the mission voucher signed and confirmed by Dalu and Nan and the supplementary mission reward, Xia Shu and the others left.

On the way back, without the drag of the caravan, the speed of the group increased a lot, and it took only a few days to return to Muye Village.

Hinata went to Hokage's office, reported the process of the task to Hokage-sama, and then handed in the task list, which was regarded as the completion of this task.

In Xia Shu's mind, there was also a reminder of the completion of the [Task Novice] achievement. Only the last item [Promote Chunin] was left to complete all the achievements of the [Fresher] sub-item.

According to the information obtained from the uncle, because of the current state of the ninja world, in order to deal with the war that may occur in a few years, Konoha needs to promote a group of backbone talents, so in the next few years, every year Hold a Chunin Exam.

It seems that I need to work harder to practice, and strive to participate in this year's Chunin exam, and successfully pass the exam to be promoted to a Chunin.

After completing the C-level task, Hyuga and Nishiji gave the three of them two days to rest. Xia Shu went to his uncle's house to visit his sister who was hard at work practicing family secret arts. Give them to your friends respectively, some of them are still studying in the ninja school, envious, and one or two who are screaming must work hard to become ninja as soon as possible.

Two days passed quickly, and after supplementing the supplies, Xia Shu joined the daily shift again to start the next task.

Hinata Hinata also chose the C-level mission this time. The mission content was to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a rich businessman from the Land of Fire from a group of robbers.

After accepting the task, Hyuga Hinata got a map with the location of the bandits and a photo of the mission target.

"This task is a good opportunity to exercise. I will not take it unless there is an accident." Hinata Hinata glanced at the three of them, hesitated for a moment, and handed the map and photos to Xia Shu: "Xia Shu, you will act as the temporary captain and be in charge of this battle plan."

Xia Shu was taken aback, he didn't expect Hinata Nizha to teach him the map, he thought he would choose the prudent Nagai Sada as the acting captain, he couldn't help but said: "Teacher Nizha, I'm afraid I don't have enough experience, it's better to let Sada do it Where is the acting captain?"

"No, I believe you can do it. I'm very optimistic about you." Hinata Hideza said seriously, his tone full of confidence in Natsuki.

Nagai Sada was not angry that Hinata Hizashi did not choose him as the acting captain, and also cheered for Natsuki: "Yes, Natsuki, don't shirk, we also believe in you."

"Ahhh~ Xia Shu-kun, you can accept acting captain~" Kawata Yuki smiled at Xia Shu, and said seductively by the way: "Hehe, as an acting captain, you have great rights. How about some interesting things in the plan, how about arranging for my sister to take a bath with you?"

"Only this kind of thing is absolutely impossible!"

Speaking of this, Xia Shu didn't make any further excuses, took the map from Hinata Hinata, identified the direction, and led everyone to set off.A day later, we reached our destination.

"According to the signs on the map, it should be there." Hiding on a big tree with luxuriant branches, Xia Shu pointed to a cottage in the distance and said to the two.

It was a cottage built between two adjacent peaks. It wasn't very large in size, but it could accommodate hundreds of people.

The walls of the cottage are composed of three layers. The inner and outer layers are made of huge wooden fences made of felled trees, and the middle is stuffed with random stones that can be seen everywhere in the forest. There are some gaps between the stone walls and the wooden fence. It is for the shooting holes provided by the archers.

The gate of the village is composed of two wooden doors, half open and half closed, and six robbers in revealing clothes are guarding both sides of the gate.

The road leading to the cottage is only a rugged mountain road, and the weeds on both sides of the road have been cleaned up. It is impossible for ordinary people to approach without being noticed, even for Natsuki and others who are at the ninja level. It is not easy to sneak into the cottage.

It seems that this group of robbers is not composed of ordinary refugees and disaster victims, but rather an organized gang of robbers.

"Xia Shu, what should we do now? Shall we go straight in?" Nagai Sada asked with narrowed eyes.

"Wait a minute, don't worry, see if there is any good opportunity."

Xia Shu stabilized Nagai Sada, if it was just to wipe out the bandits, with the strength of himself and the others, there is nothing wrong with directly killing them.

But to build such a stronghold, I am afraid that its leader is also a very shrewd person. If he acts rashly, the risk of exposure is very high. The robbers inside may kill the wealthy businessman's daughter as a hostage. In this way, even if the robbers are eliminated in the end, they will not be able to achieve this goal. The purpose of saving lives.

Just when Xia Shu was thinking about the countermeasures for sneaking in, he heard a sound of the gate of the village, and then it opened with a bang, and four people dressed as woodcutters with axes in their hands ran out of the village.

The leader was an old woodcutter with white hair. After he stepped forward and said something to the robber guards guarding the gate of the village, the guard waved his hand and let them leave the village.

"Good opportunity, come with me."

Xia Shu's eyes lit up, it was really a good opportunity for someone to send a pillow when he was sleepy, so he hurriedly took Nagai Sada and Kawada Yuki to make a big circle, avoiding the sight of the robber guards, and turned towards The woodcutters who had left gave chase.

After the four woodcutters left the stronghold, they drilled into the nearby forest and came to a dense forest to cut wood.

Xia Shu and the three looked at each other and nodded to each other. Xia Shu separated a shadow clone, and four figures entered the field in an instant, controlling the four woodcutters who were chopping wood.

The woodcutters were taken aback by the sudden appearance of Xia Shu and the others, completely at a loss. The old woodcutter at the head threw the ax and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Master Ninja, please spare me."

Seeing this, the other three woodcutters also reacted and knelt down to beg for mercy.

The three of them and the shadow clone led a woodcutter into the woods beside them, and interrogated them alone.

Xia Shu's body looked at the old woodcutter who was kneeling on the ground and kept shaking, and said in a low voice, "I will give you a chance to answer my question honestly, otherwise, you will have no chance to speak again. .”

The old woodcutter repeatedly shook his head, and replied tremblingly: "Yes, please. Please, Mr. Ninja, I will answer honestly."

"Who are you?"

The old woodcutter quickly replied, "We are villagers from a nearby village."

"Nonsense, don't think I know, you obviously came out of the cottage."

Seeing Xia Shu's unkind expression, the old woodman's expression changed drastically, and he quickly explained: "Master Ninja, please listen to my explanation, we are really not robbers."
