Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

After listening to the third generation's speech, the three finally came out of the Hokage Office alive.

After being baptized by the will of fire, Hong and Hayate looked at their faces with red light, as if they had been given a buff, and the fatigue of the past few days had been wiped away.

Hong suggested that everyone go have a meal together to celebrate the successful conclusion of the temporary team's first mission.

None of them refused, and the young people who had just received their salaries happily headed towards Konoha Commercial Street.

Proper relaxation is also necessary for Shiyuan.

But before eating, he first came to Inuzuka Hana to pick up Kimaru, and also invited Inuzuka Hana to eat together.

After all, in his absence, Kimaru was able to continue to thrive thanks to his care.

Moreover, Shi Yuan also found it quite troublesome to invite others to dinner alone, so wouldn't it be nice to take advantage of this time to solve it together.

……

More than a month has passed since the last mission.

The autumn wind swept across Konoha with a hint of desolation, and the entire village was enveloped in a lonely atmosphere.

After a period of rest and continuous practice, Shi Yuan felt that his strength had improved significantly compared to before.

In a good mood, he came to the mission center again, intending to find some suitable missions to practice on.

With the last experience, he already knew what type of tasks were suitable and most suitable for him.

different from last time.

The mission center was a bit deserted today, with only a few people asking about missions at the window.

Because he successfully completed the escort mission with a final evaluation of A level last time, Shi Yuan currently has a large range of missions that he can receive.

Some A-level and below-A levels are tasks he can access.

Shi Yuan flipped through the task list while thinking about whether the tasks he saw were suitable for him.

He set two rules for himself before coming.

One is not to accept escort missions, and the other is not to waste time on useless missions.

After going through the latest task list, Shi Yuan has temporarily locked several of them.

Holding his chin, he began to weigh the pros and cons of being chosen for the task in his mind.

Mission [-]: Destroy the Lang Ninja organization located somewhere in the eastern part of the Land of Fire.

Mission [-]: Go to Yuyin Village to collect information about Hanzo.

Mission [-]: Chase Shennong who stole the forbidden technique from Konoha not long ago and then escaped.

These three tasks that Shi Yuan values ​​​​are all A-level, and the difficulty is not low among A-level.

In the first mission, the Lang Ninja organization mentioned in the intelligence has nearly ten members, and each of them is at least a chuunin.

As for the second mission, this should be regarded as the most dangerous and underestimated mission among Shi Yuan's three favorite missions.

According to Shiyuan's memory, Amegakure at this period had long belonged to Nagato and Konan.

If you accept this mission and enter Yuyin, the consequences obviously don't need to be thought about.

Therefore, after a little thought, Shi Yuan gave up on this extremely challenging task.

So, now it’s a matter of choosing one or the other.

His eyes were fixed on the last mission involving Shennong.

Currently, he is the only one who knows about Shennong's death, so Konoha officials only think that Shennong is hiding somewhere and does not dare to show up.

This mission about Shennong was because the ninja who went out not long ago brought back information about Shennong, so he planned to send people to try to pursue him based on the known information.

This task, in Shi Yuan's opinion, should be the easiest among the three tasks.

Since the last time he got the ninjutsu developed by Shen Nong, Shi Yuan has become more interested in Shen Nong's research on the physical body.

Therefore, he was wondering if he would have a chance to get what he wanted if he took on this mission.

If possible, he felt that this task would be of great value.

But if you can't, it's better to choose the first mission and go to those wave ninjas to practice your skills and accumulate combat experience and qualifications.

A few minutes passed, and Shi Yuan had the answer in his mind.

Many things were full of uncertainty. Since he was eager for Shennong's research materials and results, he didn't have to think twice.

Hands on the to-do list.

He said seriously to the staff who received him: "I want to take on this task!"

The staff member was stunned for a moment and realized that Shi Yuan seemed to be alone. He frowned slightly and confirmed again: "Are you alone?"

Although there is no requirement that this task must be completed in a team, highly difficult tasks like A-level tasks are usually completed in a team by default.

To complete an A-level mission alone, there are not many in Konoha, but not many.

In this staff member's impression, the relatively unfamiliar chuunin in front of him should not be among them.

Although asking questions like this will make the person being asked uncomfortable, it is also out of consideration for the safety of others, which is one of their responsibilities.

"Yes, alone, I am Sarutobi Tokigen."

Shi Yuan announced his name, and the staff on the opposite side suddenly understood when he heard Shi Yuan's name.

Sarutobi Tokigen was authorized by his superiors to take on missions higher than his own ninja level. He was obviously a powerful ninja.

So he stopped talking nonsense and completed the formalities in a few minutes.

With the stamped procedures in hand, Shi Yuan went to the Hokage's office for a brief report, and then went through the procedures for leaving the village.

Everything was well prepared, and it was time to say goodbye to Kimaru again.

Throwing the Kimaru to Inuzuka Hana, Tokimoto immediately left the village with his ninja tools and supplies.

Intelligence showed that a ninja suspected of being connected to Shennong appeared in a town hundreds of miles away from Konoha, so the mission requirement was to follow this line to find Shennong who had escaped from Konoha Village.

Of course, capturing Shennong is not within the scope of this mission. The scope only includes reconnaissance and collection.

After spending more than a day, Shi Yuan appeared at the place mentioned in the intelligence as night fell.

This place is called Waka. It is located in the east of the Land of Fire. Its prosperity is not that of some cities in the hinterland.

So when the source came here.

The lights are as bright as daylight, and pedestrians are everywhere.

Shi Yuan found a place to rest and ate some food nearby. One night, Shi Yuan did not immediately launch an investigation.

Early the next morning.

Shiyuan took off the Konoha forehead protector from his forehead, and then wandered on the street like a normal person.

Since Shennong escaped from the village last time, Konoha's upper echelons have not given up investigating him.

If they were just ordinary spies, maybe they wouldn't continue to entangle, but some new discoveries were made about Shennong's identity during the investigation, plus the other party actually dared to conduct taboo experiments inside Konoha.

Therefore, Shennong is on Konoha's must-kill list!

Although Konoha is very interested in Shennong, since he escaped from Kakashi, he has disappeared as if he has evaporated from the world. Konoha has not made any effective gains in the past few months of searches.

However, a week ago, a Jonin who returned to the village to deliver a mission provided some information.

It was mentioned that there seems to be a ninja force in the east of the Fire Country that does not exist in the village records.

After their first encounter, he originally planned to investigate in depth, but because he had more urgent tasks, he gave up at that time.

So after returning to the village, he immediately reported the information, hoping that the village would find out the situation.

After the village got this and combined it with the information they had, they determined that the unknown ninja force mentioned by the jounin should be the resurgent Kong Ninja!

So, this task immediately appeared.

Most of the day passed quickly, and Shi Yuan was at a loss what to do, so he frowned and planned to find a place to finish his lunch.

At this moment, several suspicious figures came into his sight.

The temperature was not low, but I was walking along the wall wrapped up like a mummy.

Isn’t it obvious to tell others that I have a problem?

Suddenly, Shi Yuan was no longer hungry, his legs were no longer sore after walking for a long time, and the sadness on his face disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"How long are we going to stay here?!"

Three suspicious people walked to an alley, and one of them asked his companion in a low voice.

"Silence! Don't talk casually outside. Have you forgotten what happened when you were discovered by Konoha Jonin last time?!"

The man walking in the middle tilted his head and scolded, then quickened his pace and walked deeper into the alley.

"Isn't there no one around?"

The person who spoke before was still a little angry and muttered.

The companion who was half a step ahead immediately stopped and put his face in front of him: "How many times do I need to say this?! Huh?! Are you a pig?!"

The atmosphere froze, and the two got closer.

Seeing this, the man who had been silent until now stretched out his hand to block his burning companion, and separated the two.

"You're still outside, let's talk about it when we get back! If the adults see you like this when you come back, I think you should know the consequences!"

After the man finished speaking, the other two people immediately separated.

"Um?!"

The ninja who had just separated his quarreling companions suddenly noticed something strange.

Before he could react, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.At the last second of consciousness, he saw his two companions falling to the ground.

Shi Yuan appeared next to the three fallen people, glanced outside the alley, and then continued to attack calmly.

Originally he just thought these three people were a little suspicious, but the words he just heard confirmed his suspicion.

Without hesitation, he immediately took them down.

……

When Sanwu woke up from his coma, he realized that he had been tied up and his eyes were blinded.

The pain coming from the back of his head reminded him that his situation was definitely not good at this time.

The surroundings were quiet, but the sound of dripping water could be heard in the middle of the night.

"Can you tell me your identity?"

Just when he felt strange, a strange voice sounded in his ears.

"Who are you?!"

Sanwu was still calm and asked after swallowing.

"I'm asking you now, do you understand?!"

The unfamiliar voice continued to sound, and a touch of coldness also appeared near his exposed neck.

A layer of goosebumps made Sanwu swallow what he planned to say.

Oh!

The stinging pain came from the skin, and Sanwu was no longer calm.

"Whatever you want to know, I will tell you!"

He shouted in a hoarse voice, no longer calm at all.

"very good!"

Shi Yuan stopped what he was doing and raised the corners of his mouth to smile.
