Naruto Uzumaki

Although everyone failed to find Sasuke, Naruto still did not give up searching.In the next period of time, each team began to take on various tasks.

Xiaoyi and the eighth class also completed some C-level tasks, and even a B-level task.Due to Sasuke's escape, only Naruto and Sakura are left in the seventh class.Sakura worshiped Tsunade as a teacher and has been learning medical ninjutsu, so Naruto is the only one left in the seventh class.So during this period of time, Naruto served as a special team member and joined several other teams to participate in the mission.

On this day, Tsunade found Xiaoyi, Hinata and Naruto, and gave them a task.

Tsunade: "You guys need to catch a thief this time. It was originally supposed to be done by the eighth team. It's a pity that Shino didn't have time for other tasks, so he added you, Naruto."

Hinata blushed when she heard that she was going to do the task with Naruto.

"You, Xiaoye, will be the captain of this mission. Your mission is to find the thief who stole the famous teapot from the Kingdom of Tea, Wuinch Nail, Wuinch Nail. According to intelligence, Wuinch Nail is currently lurking in the Kingdom of Stone. You guys We need to go there as soon as possible, and then catch him there."

When Naruto heard that he had simply caught the thief, he lost all energy.

Looking at the task book, Xiaoyi always felt that the task this time would not be that simple.And with Naruto present, there is a high probability that the mission level will increase.

"Don't worry, Tsunade-sama. I will bring everyone back safely."

Xiaoyi doesn't care whether he can complete the task, he only cares about whether he can return to Konoha safely, and how much money he can get for doing this task.

After receiving the task, everyone left Konoha and went to the country of stone.

The country of stone is just like its name, most of the places are mountains and rocks.The country of stone is rich in various ores, which are their source of income.Stone Country has few other resources and is generally a poor country.

After a day of driving, we came to a small town in the country of stone.When they came to the town, they found that all the people here were staring at them.It seems that the people here do not welcome their arrival very much.

Xiaoyi also carefully sensed the surroundings and captured the positions of all the ninjas around.There are reward notices on some walls in the town, and their goal this time is also on it.The bounty offered for the Five Inch Nails reached 300 million taels, which is considered relatively high.To get such a high bounty, the stolen teapot will definitely not be easy.

"In that case, let's go ask." Naruto ran into a shop.

"Naruto, don't run around." Xiao Yi quickly followed in, the people here are not very friendly.

The three of Xiaoye walked into the store, and there were many people sitting in the store drinking wine.Xiaoye found that some people had chakra in their bodies, but they were all very weak.Looking at them with swords, they should be samurai.

"Hi, I have something to ask." Naruto asked the boss at the counter.

The boss looked at Naruto sideways: "Since you're not a customer, then get out!"

"Then I can buy something, right? I want ramen!"

"Hahaha! It's really knowledgeable. Someone wants to eat ramen here. Boy, show me clearly that this is a hotel, not a ramen restaurant." The boss laughed.

At this time, Xiaoyi just wanted to drag Naruto away, he didn't want to cause trouble.While these are minor annoyances, they can still be very annoying when glued on.

"Get out of here, little devils." The boss was a little angry.

"If you want money, we have it too." Naruto took out his wallet.

At this time, a tall bald man grabbed Naruto's hand. "It's not safe for a child to take so much money, why don't you leave it to me to keep it. After all, there are bad uncles everywhere in this town. What's the matter? Don't let it go soon?"

"It's you who wants to let go!"

Naruto grabbed the bald man's arm and threw him out.The bald man smashed on the table, and the tables and chairs were smashed to pieces.

At this time, most of the people in the tavern stood up and took out their weapons.

Just as Xiaoyi was about to break through forcefully, a voice came over.

"Boss, have a bowl of ramen."

A young man wearing a hat came out. When he appeared, the audience fell silent. It seemed that everyone was afraid of him.

"Yes, that's good." The boss conjured up a bowl of ramen out of nowhere.

The man brought the side over and handed it to Naruto. "Your ramen, I invite you."

The bald man from before suddenly picked up a big knife and charged forward.The man pulled out the knife in his hand, the light of the knife flashed, and the bald head fell directly to the ground.

"This man is a wanted criminal, so I'll give it to you, the boss. Just treat it as ramen and the money wasted in the store!" After speaking, the man walked out of the tavern.

"Wait a minute!" Naruto followed.

Xiaoyi wanted to stop Naruto, but Naruto ran too fast.Xiaoyi suddenly realized that he, the captain, didn't seem to be able to play a big role, but there was nothing he could do, who made him an older brother.

"Uncle, who are you?" Naruto ran over to ask the man.

"I'm a bounty hunter, Lian."

"Uncle, your move just now is really cool! It's so fast, you can't even tell when you drew your sword."

Hearing Naruto's flattery, the man was very happy.

"I've been practicing sword drawing for quite a while. We bounty hunters are always in danger, and we have to draw our swords before the enemy at any time."

"What the hell is a bounty hunter?" Naruto asked as he followed Lian forward, completely ignoring the two people behind him.

Lian began to explain: "Well, well. Some people will offer rewards in order to catch bad guys, and bounty hunters are the ones who catch bad guys and collect the rewards."

"Uncle, so this guy is also a wanted criminal, right?" Naruto took out a photo of the five-inch nail.

When the man saw the five-inch nail, his expression changed.

"Why are there so many bounties? Isn't he just a thief?" Naruto was very puzzled.

Lian: "He's not just a thief. This guy has killed dozens of people for the purpose of stealing. He is a Super A Grade bounty wanted criminal."

"Why?" Naruto was a little surprised when he heard Ren's words.

"This is not mentioned in the task book given by Master Tsunade!"

Lian looked at Naruto: "Mission?"

"Yeah, we came to this village to catch five-inch nails. We are Konoha's ninjas." Naruto spoke out about this mission at once, and revealed his identity.

It stands to reason that Xiaoyi is qualified to slap Naruto to death, but Xiaoyi feels that it doesn't matter even if he says it.And there seems to be something wrong with the Lian in front of him, maybe he will make a move soon.

"So you guys are ninjas, hahahaha. Interesting, can you brats also be ninjas?"

"What do you mean? Don't look down on us." Naruto hated people saying that he was not worthy of being a ninja.

"Okay, don't be angry, I'm sorry. Let me treat you to dinner. Do you want ramen? Next."

"Then I want to have ramen too!" Hinata decided to eat the same food as Naruto, it's really a husband and wife.

Everyone followed Lian, and gradually moved away from the village and came to the suburbs.

"Since I can't find a ramen shop, the agreement to invite you just now has been cancelled. I'm sorry, I have to let you die here." Lian suddenly turned around and said.

"Uncle, what do you want to do?" Naruto suddenly became vigilant.

"It seems that you know that Five Inch Nails is in this town, right?"

"So what?

Lian: "The Five Inch Nail is my prey, I can't give him up to you."

"Since that's the case, isn't it good to go forward with our own goals? Why do you have to get rid of us?" Xiaoyi stood at the front.

"That can't be done. Although you are still little devils, it's a different matter if you are Konoha's ninjas. The less competition, the better!"

Lian quickly rushed towards them.Xiaoye pulled out Kunwu to block Lian's knife.Lian's speed is indeed fast, and his attack style is also very sharp.If you fight him with Kunai, Xiao Yi will suffer a lot.

"The technique of shadow clone." Naruto also reacted quickly.

Although this uncle wanted to treat himself to ramen just now, if the other party wanted his own life, he would not let it go.

Naruto rushed towards Lian, and all the shadow clones were cut off.

"The Art of Darkness."

Xiaoyi blocked the opponent's vision with the technique of walking in darkness, but Lian still slashed at Xiaoyi.

Although the technique of walking in darkness can make the opponent lose their vision, the samurai's sense of hearing is very strong, and they can lock the opponent's position without using their eyes.Xiaoye immediately threw two Kunai tied with detonating talismans to the left and right of Lian, and then detonated the detonating talismans.The loud noise made it impossible for Lian to use his hearing to judge the positions of Xiaoyi and the others.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiaoyi pulled Naruto and Hinata away quickly.

Although the opponent does not know ninjutsu, his actual strength is almost that of a ninja.Xiaoyi can indeed deal with Jnin with special ninjutsu and sealing techniques, but he is much weaker against samurai.

After Lian regained his vision, he found that Xiaoyi and the others had disappeared, and he didn't chase after them.Lian's goal this time is Five Inch Nails, he just needs to make sure Xiaoyi and the others don't hinder him.

On the other side, Xiaoyi brought Naruto and Hinata to a safe place.

"Naruto, are you okay?" The opponent's sword technique was very fast, and Xiaoyi was worried whether Naruto was injured.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Naruto was very energetic, and it seemed that he was not injured.

"Naruto, the opponent is really strong, can we complete the task this time?" Hinata was a little worried.

"I don't know what Tsunade-sama thinks. The dangerous task of capturing the five-inch nail is actually a C-level. Through the previous rewards, we can know that the five-inch nail may have the strength of a ninja, at least a B-level task.

But now it's all like this, the task can only continue.We can't deal with five-inch nails recklessly, we can only outsmart them.Since Lian just now also has to deal with Five Inch Nails, let's follow behind him.If Lian can solve the Five Inch Nails, our mission will be completed indirectly.If there is no way to solve it, we will take another shot. "

At this time, Xiaoyi could still perceive Lian's position, and everyone quickly chased after him.When the three of Xiaoyi caught up with Lian, he had already fought Wuinch Nails once.Lian completely lost to Five Inch Nails and was injured all over his body.

Lian: "Don't chase, you are not his opponent."

At present, there is too little information about Five Inch Nails. Since this Lian fought the opponent once, there should be some information.Xiaoyi has already locked on the Chakra of Five Inch Nails, and it will be easy to find him later. Now it is easier to deal with him by obtaining some information first.

"Naruto, let's take him to a safe place first!"

Everyone brought Lian to a broken house.Xiao Yi took off his clothes and saw the wound on his body.These wounds seem to have been pierced by nails. It seems that Wuinch Nail's trick is the same as his name.

"Be patient, it may hurt."

Xiao Yi used Chakra to pull out the nail in Lian's body, and then used the healing technique to treat him.Lian's wound will heal soon.However, many parts of his body were injured by nails, and he couldn't move for a while.

At this time, Xiaoyi suddenly felt someone coming from outside, and the other party didn't have any chakra on him, so it didn't look like a ninja.

Xiao Yi gestured, and the three immediately hid in a corner.When the opponent came in, Naruto rushed up and knocked him down with a punch.Seeing that something was wrong, the other party immediately got up and ran away.

Xiao Yi found out that he was just an ordinary warrior, so he didn't care about it anymore.

"What is this?" Naruto picked up a piece of paper from the ground.

Naruto looked at the paper: "This seems to be a wanted warrant. The man named Daoji is a felon who killed a family of three."

Everyone suddenly discovered that the man named Daoji above was Lian who was lying on the ground now.Xiaoyi had realized that something was wrong with this Lian before, but he didn't expect him to be a wanted criminal!

Everyone rested overnight in the cabin.At dawn the next day, Xiao Yi, who was resting, suddenly felt movement.

"Where do you want to go, Mr. Lian? Or Daoji?"

Lian understood that Xiaoyi and the others already knew his identity, and was about to draw out the knife beside him.

Xiaoyi pushed his knife back with one hand and grabbed Lian's arm.

"Mr. Lian, what else do you want to do with your current body?"

The muscles involved were aching, and Lian also knew that he had no fighting power, so he put down the knife.

"Uncle, what's the matter with this arrest warrant?" Naruto asked.

Lian sat on the ground and relaxed: "I didn't kill people."

Xiao Yi: "Then how do you explain this arrest warrant?"

It was made of five-inch nails. He killed an innocent family of three while stealing.At that time, I went to check the situation and had a fight with Five Inch Nails, but he escaped.I was the only one at the scene of the murder, so everyone thought I was the one who killed it.No one was willing to believe me, so I ran out, and ended up being a wanted criminal.So I also made up my mind that I must seize the Five Inch Nails and avenge my wrongdoing.In order to find as much information as possible about him, I became a bounty hunter while pretending to be a wanted criminal.So is it okay to give him to me? "

Naruto said suddenly: "We are ninjas, and we must complete the mission when we receive it. If he escapes again, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Let's go!" Naruto walked out first.

Hinata glanced at Five Inch Nails and followed Naruto.

Xiaoyi watched Naruto leave without authorization, shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to follow.Xiaoyi felt more and more that his captain was just a decoration.

Naruto: "That guy from Five Inch Nails, I must catch him. Uncle's injury hasn't healed yet, so we have to act. Xiaoyi, can you still feel the chakra of Five Inch Nails?"

Xiaoyi shook his head: "The distance is too far, and I can't find anyone. But I roughly know the direction in which they disappeared. If I chase them from that direction, I should be able to perceive them again."

"If that's the case, let's go."

Xiaoyi squinted at Naruto, he always felt that Naruto was the captain of this mission.But that's fine, as the captain, you have to bear a lot of pressure.Now Xiaoyi only needs to ensure the safety of Naruto and Hinata.

Everyone followed the five-inch nail and came to another small town in the country of stones.This one is much better than the previous ones, this one is more like some place in the Fire Nation.There are tons of people walking the streets and lots of places to buy things.But there are many monks on the street, and there are temples everywhere.

Xiao Yi looked in one direction: "I can feel the Five Inch Nails are nearby."

"Then let's go!"

Xiaoyi found the location of the five-inch nail, and then quickly rushed over.When everyone rushed here, they found that Wuinch Nail was stealing a golden bell from a temple.

"Haha, you brats, have you followed up so quickly?"

At this time, the four subordinates of Five Inch Nail surrounded him.These guys are only at the level of ordinary people, and they were easily solved by the three of Xiaoyi.

"Everyone be careful." Hinata rolled her eyes, and found the nail rising from the ground.

"King Kong blockade." Xiao Yi jumped up, and the two diamond chains quickly swept away all the flying nails.

Wuinchnail immediately chose to run away when he saw it.

"The technique of shadow clone." Naruto and his shadow clone chased after him.

"Where to run!"

Five Inch Nail suddenly turned around and formed a seal: "Ninja method? Flying Nail Wu Chong!"

Five Inch Nails spat out a lot of tiny nails, piercing Naruto's shadow clone.

"King Kong blockade."

Xiaoyi controlled two diamond chains to wrap the five-inch nails.The vajra chain that can entangle the tailed beast is naturally not something that the Five Inch Nails can get rid of.

When everyone grabbed the five-inch nails, Lian also rushed here.

"You guys caught him!" Lian was a little surprised, he didn't expect Xiao Yi to grab the five-inch nail so quickly.

"Can you give it to me? I need him to clear my name."

"That can't be done, the five-inch nail is the goal of our mission." Xiao Yi directly rejected Lian.

After 1 minute, Xiao Yi continued: "But it's not impossible to give him to you. After you prove yourself, you must give me the reward of 300 million."

Xiao Yi had absolutely no intention of taking the five-inch nail back to complete the task.The mission reward this time is 10 taels, barely reaching B level.Compared with the five-inch nail's bounty of 300 million, it was much less.Taking the five-inch nails back is not only less expensive, but also very troublesome.

"Thank you so much, don't worry, I will give it to you after I get the bounty." What Lian cares about is not the bounty, but whether he can prove his innocence.

"Okay, when the time comes, you can just find a way to send the money to Konoha."

After talking with Lian, Xiaoyi and the others decided to go back.The task of the mission of the country of stone went very smoothly. Although it was not completed, it got 300 million.Of course, out of the 300 million, 50 will be given to Hinata as remuneration, and a few thousand taels will be given to Naruto as living expenses.In addition, at least 100 million taels must be given to Tsunade as a hush money.

When Xiaoyi returned to Konoha to talk to Tsunade about this matter, Tsunade naturally accepted the 120 million taels that were finally negotiated.Xiaoyi knew that 100 million would never satisfy Tsunade's appetite.As for the quest of the Daimyo of the Country of Tea, since the Five Inch Nail has been captured, this quest is automatically invalidated.As for the mission record file, Tsunade, who received the hush money, will naturally resolve the follow-up matters.
