My disciple of Konoha is the savior

night.

Go Nishida's mansion.

Taishi Sato, who had been "busy" all day, followed Goshi Nishida to the lobby, talking and laughing.

"Taishi, Mr. Takeshi Nishida, you are finally back."

A familiar voice sounded beside him.

Taishi turned his head and saw Hirano Nobu, who hadn't come back for several days, looking at him with relief.

"Teacher Nobu!" Dazhi happily walked towards Nobu Hirano, "You are finally back."

In the past few days, a few thieves and wandering samurai who did not have long eyes set their sights on the worthless Takeshi Nishida, but he easily killed them all. He did it with his own strength and did not rely on anyone's strength. .

He felt that such an excellent performance was enough to repay Hirano Shin's trust in him at that time.

He already has the ability to take charge of his own business. It's just a C-level mission, which is completely trivial.

Now he only wants to be recognized by Hirano Nobu, just like a child who has made achievements, wants to let his parents who have been using the children next door as an example to teach him know that he is also very good, no worse than anyone else.

Nishida Takeshi also greeted Hirano Shin with a smile.

"Master Xin, long time no see."

"Mr. Gang, long time no see."

Saying that, Hirano Shin stretched out his hand, put it lightly on Taishi's head, rubbed his hair, and said with a smile:

"You've worked hard these past few days, Dazhi."

Dazhi blushed a little and looked embarrassed. .seven

In fact, he spent most of the past few days visiting various high-end places with Nishida Go and experiencing the life of the upper class. He only felt a little bored when Nishida was discussing business with people because he didn't understand them very well.

Now the clothes he wears are worth more than a dozen C-level missions, and there are still some luxury items in his pockets, especially the Kunai inlaid with a precious gem in his ninja bag. That was the "symbol of friendship" that Nishida bought for him at a sky-high price on the black market.

So there is no talk of hard work or anything like that.

"It's nothing, I'm just performing a task." Dazhi scratched his head, he didn't want to talk about this topic, and asked instead:

"Teacher Xin, where is Quan and that Diao... Xuanyu? Have you found them?"

Hearing this, Hirano Shin shook his head and said, "No, I've searched dozens of miles around this city, but I still can't find them."

Upon hearing this unexpected answer, Dazhi's eyes suddenly widened.

"How...how is it possible? Could it be that they..."

He, who has been paralyzed by countless joys he had never experienced during this period, finally realized that something was wrong.

A ninja, a well-established ninja, would not do something so outrageous as going out for three or four days in a row without passing on news to his superiors.

Generally speaking, when this kind of phenomenon occurs, there are only a few extreme possibilities.

Although he has always looked down on Xuan Yu, and has begun to dislike Quan who has always defended Xuan Yu, this is just a matter of personal likes and dislikes. He does not want anything to happen to them, especially Quan. After all, Quan is fighting side by side with him to survive. The drill officially became a genin's companion.

He recognized Quan's strength very much. Even after being praised so much these days, he still felt that Quan's strength was far above his.

If she suddenly disappeared, Dazhi would not be indifferent.

In the final analysis, what he hates is not Quan as a person, but her protective attitude towards Xuanyu. As a ninja who aspires to become as great as the Fourth Hokage, he really can't stand that his companion is just a procrastinator. The trash mentioned.

Hirano Shin sighed softly, "However, it's not like I didn't find anything."

"Huh?" Dazhi was stunned.

Hirano Shin continued: "There are traces of fierce ninja fighting on the outskirts of the city. Judging from the situation at the scene after the battle, it should be two very powerful masters, and I found a pool of blood on a nearby tree. There are also some women's hair and shredded clothing, I'm afraid..."

goodong...

Dazhi swallowed, "Teacher Xin, what do you mean..."

"They were probably involved in the battle between those two masters, and they don't know if they are alive or dead." Hirano Xin said sadly: "This mission is almost over, I will report this emergency to Master Hokage when I return to the village. "

Although he said he didn't know whether he would live or die, he actually made a judgment in his words.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.

Go Nishida seemed to quickly figure out the whole story. He walked to Dazhi and comforted him.

And just then...

"It must have been caused by the tail of the crane!"

Dazhi suddenly lowered his eyes, a look of regret appeared on his face:

"If it wasn't for that crane tail who has always been lazy and refused to practice, Quan wouldn't have dragged him out to practice together as soon as he got here because he cared about him. If not, how could she have encountered such a thing?"

He tightened his grip and sighed, saying:

"And I believe that with Quan's strength, he will never be affected by the battle so easily. At that time, the tail of the crane must have some messy ideas to let Quan do some dangerous things. Quan likes him so much. If that guy insists, Quan definitely couldn't refuse, alas... Quan was ruined by that guy after all."

His words were full of disdain for Xuan Yu, and it was obvious that after what he thought was the correct idea, he was now so disgusted with Xuan Yu that he was unwilling to breathe the same air with him.

A subtle light flashed in Hiranoshin's eyes. He turned his head inexplicably and looked at Nishida Go, who was also looking over. Then he walked to Dazhi and patted him on the shoulder.

"I really didn't expect that the person Quan actually liked would meet with misfortune. I also failed to fulfill my responsibility as an instructor."

Hearing this, Dashi looked at Nobu Hirano in surprise.

"Teacher Xin, you finally believe my words!"

Hirano Shin's eyes flashed a trace of extremely imperceptible doubts, but he nodded quickly, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"If you had paid attention to what you said earlier and guided them well, maybe there would be no tragedy now."

The topic was slightly inappropriate, but at this time, the instructor fully recognized it, and he was so immersed in joy and excitement that he failed to notice it.

Even an ordinary twelve-year-old boy failed to notice that a large invisible net had quietly come over him, and the shadows in the darkness had quietly poked out their ferocious fangs towards him.

At the bottom of the cliff.

"The limits of blood succession of the Uesugi clan?"

Quan frowned slightly. She thought about it carefully, but she still couldn't remember any information about this family, let alone the blood line limit of this family.

Never heard of it.

Opposite her, Xuanyu, who had recovered a little bit of mobility, leaned against the stone wall, spread his hands and said:

"Isn't it strange and you don't know anything about it at all?"

Quan nodded honestly.

Xuan Yu smiled, and then slowly said the words he had prepared long ago to explain his current strange situation.
