Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

It was sunny on March 6.

After another half month of watering the ground, catching cats, and cleaning up the river, Class [-] finally ushered in the second C-level task:

Investigate and solve the "Shenyin Incident" in the Kingdom of the Sea.

"The Kingdom of the Sea is located in the border waters and consists of many islands of different sizes."

It’s the branches in the woods again...

By the way, if some experts from the past life saw this, they would probably have to give them an "expert opinion" saying that "running like this is bad for the knees" and "frequently stepping on tree trunks can easily damage the environment", right?

"The so-called 'Shenyin Incident' means that a person suddenly disappears without a trace. No matter whether he is alive or dead, he can no longer be found. It is as if he has completely disappeared from the world."

"Then...could it be that he fell into the sea and was washed away by the sea?"

"probably not."

Nara Shikaku immediately shook his head without hesitation after hearing this.

"The residents of the Kingdom of the Sea rely on the sea for their livelihood, and the only means of transportation is boats. People like them who deal with the ocean all day long should not make mistakes like falling into the sea and being washed away..."

"What's more, the Kamigakure incident is not an isolated incident. It has become so common that the lords of the Kingdom of the Sea have to go to Konoha Village to seek help. To say that so many people were all washed away by the sea and there was not even a corpse. I can’t find it, so this statement is too far-fetched no matter how you think about it.”

"Oh."

Quan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Unlike riding in a car in the previous life, it was very boring for the ninjas to travel.

Moreover, we had to cross two countries this time, so most of the time they kept silent in order to save energy, and only chatted a few words during the break.

"Teacher Shikaku, the information says that the Kingdom of the Sea has signed a military contract with the Kingdom of Water, and will pay a large sum of money to it every year. Then why don't they go to the allies for help, but come to Konoha even further away? Where is the village?”

"This problem... may be related to Kirigakure Village's policy of isolation from other countries in recent years. As a result, even as an ally, it is often difficult to deal with them smoothly."

Regarding Izumi's question, Nara Shikaku only pondered for a moment before answering. It was obvious that he had given it serious consideration.

"Of course, it may also be because the Kingdom of the Sea cannot prove that the 'Shenyin Incident' is an act of war, so it cannot be used as a reason for the Kingdom of Water to send out troops."

"Oh……"

We took a short rest and replenished some energy - actually just stuffing a few dog food into each person's mouth, and then continued on our way.

In fact, the other three people were okay, they just had to hurry. The hardest part was for the young man from the Hinata family. Not only did he have to roll his eyes the whole time, at least he had to observe the situation in front, back, left, and right from time to time.

"Teacher Shikaku, there's a situation ahead!"

"!"

When Nara Shikaku heard the sound, he immediately stopped and raised his right fist.

This kind of stopping method from extreme movement to extreme stillness...

How should I put it? The physics teacher just wanted to commit suicide after seeing it...

"what happened?"

Others immediately gathered over, and all of them looked at Hinata Tokuma.

"In the open space about two kilometers ahead, there is a group of people who seem to have been hijacked."

The Hyuga guy didn't waste much time and opened his Byakugan again, observing and reporting the situation ahead:

"Looking at the situation, one side seems to be a caravan, and the other side has a smaller number of people, but everyone has chakra in their bodies!"

"Hijacking a caravan... If everyone has chakra, the probability of wandering ninjas should be higher..."

"What should we do? Do we need to go around?"

The teacher did not make a decision, so Hinata Tokuma could only keep staring at the situation ahead.

Logically speaking, a team like them that goes out on a mission should avoid accidents as much as possible.

'But……'

He looked at his students. Whether it was Koizumi, who was in trouble, or Tokuma, who asked whether they should go around, the expressions on their faces hinted that they still wanted to save them...

On the other hand, Senju Maysuki, who had had a similar experience, looked calmer and did not have any emotions because of hearing such empathetic things.

"How is the opponent's strength?"

After thinking about it for a while, Nara Shikaku still felt that if he was alone, he wouldn't say anything. If he wanted to save, he could save him. If he didn't want to save, he could just leave.

But now there are several underage children around. Even if it is just for their psychological growth, if it is not too troublesome, it is best to try to save them.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard him ask this question, the faces of the two little guys, Izumi and Tokuma, suddenly showed a little joy.

As for Senju Mayuki, who looks the calmest...

Good guy, I reached out and pulled out an ice arrow~

'This kid... is he playing the role of me, his teacher?'

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind that made him feel dumbfounded, but his attention was immediately diverted by the content of Hinata Tokuma's report:

"In terms of chakra content, there is only one person who is almost the same as Shikaku-sensei, and there are two others with less chakra. The remaining 11 are almost the same as me."

"That is to say, it is very likely that there will be one jounin, two chuunin, and 11 genin..."

Nara Shikaku's brows couldn't help but frown slightly. Such an opponent was undoubtedly seriously overachieving for a team of students who had only graduated three months ago.

Even though there were only two more chunin and a few more genin than the group of people we met last time at Mount Katsuragi, the difficulty could be said to have risen several levels!

"We'd better go see the situation first before making a decision."

At this time, Senju Mayuki suddenly stood up and suggested.

Nara Shikaku looked at him, and then at the ice arrow suspended beside him.

"Yes~"

I almost forgot about Xiao Zhenyue's move!

He has seen the power of this little thing before, and if he seizes the opportunity well, there is no chance of winning!

"Then everyone should stay hidden and let's go!"

Now that he had made his decision, Nara Shikaku was not unambiguous. He took the lead and fell to the ground, hiding his body and touching forward.

"!"

A distance of more than two kilometers is basically just a pee for a ninja.

After arriving at a certain bush, the leader Hinata Tokuma suddenly made a gesture. Upon seeing this, the following people immediately slowed down and squatted down.

Outside the bushes, there is an open space not far ahead. Even the carriages and people gathered in a large crowd, there must be hundreds at least.

And the only people who circled them like chickens were the dozen or so people on the outside.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Why don't I give you money? Don't hurt my people..."

An old voice suddenly came out from the crying and noisy crowd. It sounded like these businessmen were all from the same ethnic group.

"Hahaha...Old man, what are you talking about? If I kill you, won't all the money belong to us?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The more they beg for mercy, the more excited the thieves who control their destiny become.

"You can't do this~ Aren't you just doing it for money? How can you do this..."

The old man was still talking to them with his last hope, but Nara Shikaku and others had already observed the positions and movements of all wandering ninjas.

'I! '

He first pointed at himself,

'?'

Then he pointed at the most awesome-looking ninja outside the crowd, and then made a grabbing gesture from underneath.

After finishing, he looked at Senju Mayuki again, pointed at the genin in the outermost circle holding various weapons, then looked at the ice arrows beside him, and finally gave him a questioning look--

Are you confident that you can handle these little bastards?

However, in response to his proposal, Senju Mayuki shook her head slightly.

It's not that it can't be done,

But looking at the group of wandering ninjas outside who thought they had the overall situation in hand and had various misfortunes, he already had another more efficient idea and tactic in his mind!
