Naruto: I have shed my snake skin and become a dragon!

"But... forget it, I can't speak to you."

Shan Zhongye turned his head away in frustration and stopped talking.

Lu Ye also smiled when he saw her like this and stopped talking.

It’s been a long time since I’ve performed a mission, so it’s normal to be a little excited, and that’s certainly understandable.

Even Lu Ye himself was a little excited.

But using too much force is bad.

The three of them traveled very quickly and did not encounter any emergencies along the way.

Arriving at a small village very smoothly.

This village is quite large, almost half the size of Konoha Village, but the main gate is closed at this time.

The outside is full of rejected horses.

There were also people standing guard on the watchtower holding bows and arrows.

When he saw Lu Ye and others, he immediately raised his bow and arrow.

"Who are you!"

"The ninjas of Konoha Village are here to eliminate bandits. I hope you will cooperate and explain the situation on the mountain."

The sentry put down his bow and arrow when he heard this.

He had just taken a closer look and found that these were indeed the costumes of the Konoha Village ninjas. It was thought that the bandits would not be able to obtain the Konoha Village ninja uniforms and impersonate them.

"You guys wait a moment, I'll call the village chief over."

Then, the man left the watchtower.

"Why does this feel a bit familiar? The last time I went to kill Ronin, it seemed to be the same process."

Qi Yuan smiled when he heard this: "The guard capabilities in these ordinary villages are limited, so they must be more rigorous. This is normal."

The status of ninjas in Konoha Village is quite high. Although these villagers are employers, they dare not disrespect ninjas.

Not long after, a gray-haired old man walked out of the village, followed by a group of strong men armed with spears and bows and arrows.

"Hello, three Hokage-samas, I am the mayor of this village. I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I have brought you here."

Lu Ye took a step forward with a smile on his face: "Old man, you know our purpose of coming. Tell us what you know."

"Hey! Okay, ninja-sama."

Then the village chief waved to a strong man behind him: "Murata, come and talk to the adults."

A strong man named Murata walked up to the village chief: "Ninja-sama, a group of brothers and I went to that mountain to kill bandits once, but there were too many of them and we ran away because we couldn't defeat them."

This was unexpected by Qiu Feng. It was good enough for ordinary people to stay in the village, but their village actually gathered people and horses to fight up the mountain.

This shows that the seemingly old village chief still has some courage.

"It doesn't matter. Just tell me the information you know. How many people are there on the mountain? Are there any ninjas?"

Hearing this, Murata immediately nodded: "There are ninjas! There are definitely ninjas! We fought together with the two surrounding villages. Everything was fine at first, but later we saw the flash of lightning and knew that there were ninjas. They were all scared away.”

"They have about twenty or thirty people. Let's kill some of them. It is estimated that there are almost twenty people left now. I don't know how many ninjas there are."

Lu Ye nodded upon hearing this, this was already pretty good information.

Knowing the approximate strength and number of the enemy will prevent them from being defenseless.

"Next time, remember to go directly to Konoha Village to post a mission. You may be thinking of saving some money, but what's the use of money if your life is gone?"

"It's better to leave this kind of thing to the ninjas."

Qu Yuan advised him like a life mentor.

After hearing this, the village chief nodded immediately and said, "My lord, fortunately no one was injured this time, otherwise I would be guilty."

"You killed more than a dozen bandits, but no one died? You're pretty strong."

Murata sighed after hearing this: "Hey, sir, the people who died are all people from the other two villages. We were originally following them up the mountain. Because of this incident, the other two villages have some complaints against us."

"If it weren't for the fact that all the money for this mission was provided by our village, they would have severed ties with our village."

Lu Ye nodded after hearing this. This is only right. Bandits have killed people no matter what. Their bloodiness and cunning are not comparable to ordinary people.

If he really killed a dozen bandits without being injured at all, then there would be no need for the ninjas of Konoha Village to eliminate the bandits.

"Okay, we already know the specifics. We will kill all those bandits and ninjas. You can go up the mountain with confidence in the future."

"Thank you, sir!"

Just when Lu Ye and others turned around to leave, Murata suddenly said: "Sir, let me lead you. The road on the mountain is a bit winding, and you can easily get lost if you are not careful."

Murata nodded after hearing this: "Indeed, Murata is right, let him lead you."

"Okay, then lead the way. When the time comes, hide in a safe place and don't let anyone get hurt."

Murata held a spear in his hand: "Don't worry, I am a man after all, and I still have some strength. One or two bandits can't do anything to me."

Lu Ye is not really worried about Murata being hurt, but he is worried that he will become a burden. If he is besieged by bandits or captured, do you think he will save him or not?

Fortunately, under Luye's repeated urging, Murata gave up the mentality of being tough with the bandits.

Afterwards, the four of them set out on the road together. Under the leadership of Murata, the four of them took a small path and quickly reached the foot of the mountain.

This place is much higher than Mount Nara, and the vegetation is more lush.

The most important thing is that there is no serious way up the mountain.

They all rely on small dirt roads made by villagers digging wild vegetables or hunting.

Fortunately, it hasn't rained in the past few days, so it won't be extremely slippery.

"Sir, there will be patrols when we reach the mountainside. Please pay attention to kill them."

"it is good."

At this time, the long sword in Qiyuan's hand has been unsheathed, and a faint blue light can be seen flashing on the sword, which is a manifestation of the infusion of chakra.

The group of people moved forward vigilantly, relying on Murata's guidance and avoiding many traps and detours along the way.

We reached the halfway point of the mountain very smoothly.

As expected, there are traces of active bandits here.

There are many footprints on the ground, which look quite neat. They must be patrolling.

Luye immediately turned on his perception function, and he could clearly sense all living things within a range of twenty-five meters.

But there were no bandits.

The shadow snake crawled out of the shadow, came to Lu Ye's hand and kept spitting out the letter, always ready to attack.

Murata was a little curious when he saw Kano releasing ninjutsu and wanted to see it up close.

But when he saw the shadow snake, he retreated angrily.

There should be some shadow towards snakes.

"Stop! Someone is coming."

In Luye's perception, two people were slowly moving towards them from the west.
