Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

Chapter 366 Hunting

At the entrance of Konoha Village, more than 300 archers have been divided into several teams according to their preferences and specialties. The dozen or so people in front of them are the first group of people leaving the village, hunters, or animal hunters.

Hunters are responsible for sweeping out bandits, robbers, etc. within the Fire Country in order to achieve their goal of killing them, while beast hunters are responsible for capturing summoning beasts that can be contracted.

"Is everyone here?"

"We are all here, Captain Kazama."

"Check the equipment."

"Yes."

"In addition to the necessary ninja equipment, archery equipment, and camping equipment are especially important. We will hardly take the main road along the way, and we will not have the opportunity to resupply. All food and survival supplies need to be obtained by ourselves. So, now, check the equipment again and then set off."

Among the five major countries and many small countries in the ninja world, the Land of Fire is the largest and richest, but even so, there are still endless bandits and robbers. This puzzled Fengjian. Does the daimyo of the Land of Fire not care about the security of his country except collecting taxes? Or is it just to keep the enemy for their own safety? Every year, a large part of the tasks of the graduating Genin are to eliminate bandits.

This time, Feng Jian went out of the village and cleared all the tasks of dealing with bandits in the village. He wanted to see if there was any support from the Fire Country Daimyo or nobles behind this as imagined in the fan fiction. If there was, then... Let's wait and see the results.

"How's the investigation going?" A group of people were lying or sitting behind the mountain to rest. Only two people came out of the woods in a disheveled state to report the results of the investigation.

"Captain, these bandits are all ordinary people. There are about 34 of them, all young and strong. There are no old, weak, women or children."

"Probably?" Fengjian frowned. Reconnaissance is about obtaining accurate information as much as possible. It is better not to use the word "probably".

"We're not sure if there are people going out, so we can only give an approximate number." The person who made the report heard the hidden meaning and gave an explanation decisively.

"Okay, now it's your turn. I ask that you don't make any loud noises and kill everyone quietly without leaving any alive."

"No one left?"

"has a problem?"

"Don't need to catch some tongue or something?"

"Since you reminded me, I'll keep a few of them and bring them back if they're disabled."

"Understood." The good thing about the archer team is that they are all experienced middle and lower ninjas. Their hands may not be stained with blood, but at least they have experienced blood. They don't need psychological counseling like the newbies.

The rookies stared with a pair of white eyes. As long as they were within the shooting range and within the reach of the bow and arrow, they could basically guarantee a one-shot kill. This was also a requirement in their daily training. They would design the vital points as much as possible. After all, the trauma caused by arrows was relatively small and not fatal. The enemy would have a great chance of maintaining mobility and maybe cause some unexpected trouble.

"Captain Fengjian, we have brought back the bandits' brains and several backbones. Do we need to interrogate them?"

"Of course I have to interrogate him. I just happen to need some intelligence support."

Looking at the leader who was tied up, kneeling in front of him, with a fierce look in his eyes, he said, "Tell me your name, origin,..."

"I'm already a bandit, so what other origins do I have? I'm just a villager who couldn't survive and I became the king of the mountain. Kill me if you want. I won't beg for mercy." After all, he is the leader and he has some backbone.

"Come here, take these guys away for interrogation, and leave this guy to me." Fengjian pointed at the others, signaling the rookies to take them away.

"You won't tell? Do you think other people will tell?"

"I believe them." A hesitation flashed in the leader's eyes, and then he disappeared randomly. At this time, there was no better way than to trust his subordinates.

"Very good, let's do this, you give me the information, I will let you go, after all, I am only here to complete the mission, your village has been destroyed, we have completed the mission, you give me some information, I will deliver it, basically it's done, it's good for both of us. To show my sincerity, I will give you some benefits first?" After saying that, he casually cut the rope that bound the leader with a knife, and took out some food and wine. Don't ask why there is wine, damn it, Kazama is not far from adulthood, what's wrong with drinking some wine, not to mention that there is Tsunade who is the leader, it's not too much for Kazama to learn to drink a little.

The leader, with suspicion written all over his face, rubbed his wrist, said nothing, and did not touch the food and wine in front of him.

"Are you afraid that I will poison you? I can just kill you directly, so why would I need to resort to such tricks as poisoning?" He spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he had the power of life and death in his hands.

As if he felt that what Fengjian said made sense, he sat cross-legged in front of the wine and food and began to eat and drink.

"You've eaten and drunk, it's time for you to show me some sincerity." When they had almost finished eating and drinking, Fengjian interrupted the leader who was eating and drinking.

The leader greedily swallowed the last bite of meat with a sneer of disdain on his face: "You think I will believe you? Your ninja's methods are incredible. I don't think I am a match for you. But you think that I will betray my friends just for a little wine and meat. You underestimate me too much."

"Betrayal? No, no, no, it's not betrayal, it's just an exchange, exchanging your life for information. No matter what your ambitions and ideals are, you have everything when you are alive. When you die, you are just a pile of dirt, nothing. Don't believe in what others say about honor, reputation, and fame. These are all false. Only when you get them in your hands and eat them in your stomach, they are yours. People have to think about themselves. The people you are loyal to, aren't they doing it for themselves? So, if you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth."

“…” The leader stopped talking, with a thoughtful expression on his face, changing from cloudy to bright. Fengjian’s words must have an effect, but how far it can go remains to be seen.

"The reward is not enough." After a long while, the leader blurted out. Feng Jian's eyes lit up, there was a chance.

"Tell me your conditions, but remember to be tactful. Ninjas are not rich people. Don't mention conditions that I can't meet."

"Not only must you let me go, you must also protect me as I leave the Fire Nation and give me some money. You ninjas make a living by taking missions, and protecting me is your profession, it's not too much, right? As for the money, it's enough to make a living, that is, the commission for this mission, so that I won't starve to death before I get established." The leader's face was shining with wisdom, he was very confident that such conditions were definitely not excessive, if the ninja in front of him really valued his intelligence enough, then this condition could be said to be worth it.

"The conditions are not high. I agree. Give me your information."

"For the sake of secrecy, your teammates must stay away, as well as their Byakugan. They should be the Hyuga family. I have heard of their names. Tell them to stay away. I can only tell you the information."

"Okay." Fengjian waved his hand, signaling the rookies to step back.

"My name is Miyamoto Shichiro, and I come from the Land of Fire. Before, I was..." As Miyamoto Shichiro began to explain, the distance between the two people became closer and closer, as if Kazama took the initiative to move closer and wanted to whisper to them.

"Boy, you've been fooled." The leader put his arm around Kazama's shoulders, embraced him, and performed a naked choke. He controlled Kazama's legs with his feet, making him unable to move.
