Hundred Years of Hokage

Chapter 20 The Elderly Ninja Met Again

Because they had to take the president of the Chamber of Commerce with them, Class didn't rush very fast. It took them two days to finally reach the mission destination.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce stood at the foot of the mountain and explained aloud: "This is where we received the goods from the Cardo Chamber of Commerce in the Country of Waves. Before we could transport them to the interior of the Country of Fire, we were robbed by bandits..."

Hatake Kakashi raised his head and looked at the lush mountain peaks: "Although most bandits will surrender when they see ninjas, we can't rule out that there are some extremely vicious guys among them..."

"Wouldn't it be possible to participate in the battle?"

Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists and said disdainfully: "I just want to use them to test the results of my training during this period."

"Well, let's go and take a look first..."

Uzumaki Naruto nodded. Before he finished speaking, a crisp sound of gold and iron suddenly reached everyone's ears!

Hatake Kakashi frowned, flew down on a big tree, and looked towards the overlook where the sound came from and said: "Someone was fighting nearby..."

The expressions of everyone in Class 7 immediately became tense!

However, when they arrived at the battlefield, the battle was already over, and they happened to know the two survivors.

The old man Dazuna, whom Team had met at the entrance of the village two days ago, looked at the old ninja standing in front of him in surprise, with disbelief on his face...

The elderly genin, Kosuke Maruhoshi, who accepted the escort commission, held a ninja sword and looked at the figures appearing in the forest warily. After seeing the faces of Team clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Yeah, it's you. Ah, what a coincidence..."

Two people were lying next to Kosuke. Blood was pouring out of their throats. Looking at the wave shape on their forehead protectors, they came from the Kirigakure Village across the sea.

From the time when the sound of fighting came out to when Team 7 arrived, it took no more than five minutes. Kosuke had already killed two ninjas from Kirigakure Village...

According to the regulations of ninja villages in peacetime, ninjas who are qualified to carry out assassination missions must be at least chuunin level...

"It seems that Fousuke-senpai has received a very troublesome commission!"

Hatake Kakashi scratched his head, looked at Tazuna who stood behind Kosuke with a subtle expression, and said softly: "Senior's client seems to know something. It involves a battle between ninjas, and a chuunin incident has already occurred. Logically speaking, the assassination should be a B-level or higher mission, right?"

"Yes, this is not a mission that a genin like me can get involved in!"

Maruhoshi Kosuke took back the ninja sword in his hand, waved his hand with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I haven't moved my muscles for a long time!"

Kakashi Hatake frowned and said, "Senior, do you mean that you don't intend to give up on your entrusted task?"

"This is a commission that Mr. Iruka specially selected for me, and I haven't carried out a high-level commission for a long time..."

Kosuke Maruboshi turned around with a smile, looked at Tazuna and said: "Although I will continue to carry out your commission, can you tell me who is the person who assassinated you? After all, I am just a genin. ah!"

Dazna nodded with a strange expression: "..."

What is going on with this genin!

When he just saw the two Kirigakure ninjas appear, his heart was almost on the verge of despair!But there was only an old and lame genin beside him!

Who would have thought that this old man, who looked inconspicuous and looked more like a cook than a ninja, would be able to kill the assassin in just a few strokes with his ninja sword!

One against two, a genin hits a chuunin, but it's just like an adult hitting a child!

If the level of Konoha's genin is so high, it seems understandable why they are firmly at the top of the five major nations.

Kakashi Hatake glanced at Dazna, spread his hands and said, "If Kosuke needs help, our team is always ready to provide support..."

"Well, we haven't reached that point yet...ahem..."

Kosuke Maruhoshi withdrew his ninja sword and hammered his old waist: "I hope I can continue to complete this mission with my old bones!"

Class Seven: "..."

If you hadn't looked at the corpses of the two ninjas on the ground that were still cold, and you didn't have any injuries on your body, maybe they would have believed Fousuke's words!

Kosuke Maruboshi and Tatsuna didn't waste much time. The two old men communicated for a while and then embarked on their journey to the Land of Waves again.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that when the old genin left, he was vaguely excited about winning a big prize.

It’s really incomprehensible…

After a little reorganization, the seventh team went up the mountain to search for the bandits' dens.

Uchiha Sasuke was eager for a real battle. When he was a child, he often learned to hunt in the forest with a small bow and arrow, and soon found traces of bandits' actions.

"As expected of Sasuke!"

Haruno Sakura praised loudly, raised her fist and said: "Just rush in like this and defeat them!"

"Hey, hey, hey, please be a little more sensible!"

Even if Hatake Kakashi intends to stop him, in his opinion, this battle is indeed a disparity in power. In addition, with a Jonin as big as him standing here, there should be no accidents.

According to the traces they followed, they soon found several simple houses halfway up the mountain, and the noise coming from them also showed that someone was inside.

The crude village gate outside the house, long knives and daggers can be seen everywhere, and there are even some mountain prey mixed with the smell of blood...

Hatake Kakashi stopped and said: "This should be here. Let's first find out how many people are inside, and then force them to hand over the goods..."

The president of the chamber of commerce next to him smiled awkwardly and said, "Kakashi-sama, they are just a group of bandits. There is no need to care, right?"

According to his point of view, as long as the Konoha ninjas come forward and show off their unique skills, basically these bandits will surrender.

"Any mission must be done with caution..."

When Hatake Kakashi was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed: "Something's wrong. There's not only the blood of prey here, but also human blood..."

As a ninja who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he has already smelled the difference in the smell of blood. There must have been a battle in this place in the past two days!

"It must have been a dispute over the uneven distribution of the spoils among the bandits, right?"

Uchiha Sasuke grinned and chuckled: "If this really happens, our fight will be meaningless..."

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly raised his head, stared at the movement in the room, and said solemnly: "Maybe someone else killed them...with murderous intent!" "

Click!

The entire door suddenly shattered!

More than a dozen figures suddenly rushed out, each holding a ninja sword, and dispersed to completely surround Team !

"Well, can you tell me your identities?"

Hatake Kakasi took out his kunai, held it tightly in his hand, and protected the three little guys from Class behind him: "With my many years of experience in executing commissions, I don't quite I think bandits can have such skills..."

Just looking at the way they jump into the air one by one, it is obvious that they are the habits of ninjas who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and ordinary bandits will never be able to do it!

And even though these people were all dressed in the clothes of wandering warriors and wore masks to cover their faces, the murderous aura emanating from their bodies could not be faked at all!

They responded to Kakashi with only silence!
