[Zuo Ming] Bone Eater

"What about other places?"

On the way back to the village, Iruka met other ninjas.

It turned out that because of the extreme shortage of manpower at that time, Tsunade could only let Iruka bring Parker to hunt him down.Later, when he heard that Fengshen and Raijin were also there, Tsunade realized that there were not enough helpers, and immediately put together people to find Iruka, which allowed Iruka and Sasuke Naruto to join the other three ninjas.

It took a lot of effort for the three to find them, because the area where Iruka is now is a little far away from Konoha.Fortunately, it is now rendezvous.After hearing Iruka's question, one of the ninjas sent to pick them up, a Chunin named Okido, replied:

"Most of the escaped prisoners have been arrested and brought to justice. The rest are being hunted down. At present, the village is trying its best to call the ninjas who were sent to perform tasks nearby to return to the village for rescue, and an emergency recall order has also been issued for those who perform tasks at a distance. However , now that the key criminal has been caught, I think there is no need for an emergency recall order."

The so-called key criminals are Mizuki and Fengshen Leishen who are currently being carried on several ninjas.

Having said that, looking at the dying criminals, Da Mutang's eyes were full of admiration: "As expected of Senior Iruka, he was able to catch these people. You must know that these were the three most difficult ones we thought at the time. Where is Anbu? We are discussing a proper capture plan, now..."

But hearing this, Iruka smiled and shook his head: "I didn't catch it."

Da Mutang showed surprise in his eyes.He looked at Naruto who was running aside, with deep suspicion in his eyes.

Naruto glared at him.

Why are you showing this expression that can't be mine...

Although it's not me...

And Iruka didn't let them guess anymore, and said with a wry smile: "It's ashamed to say. My Chunin hardly played any role at the critical moment. This time I was able to successfully capture Mizuki and Fengshen Leishen, thanks to this man named The boy of 'Eight Princes Returning to the Moon'. He defeated them all by himself. I didn't even have a chance to make a move, and I was once at a disadvantage. If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid we would have..."

After saying this, the three ninjas turned their attention to the man on Naruto's left.

Okido looked Sasuke up and down, and said in surprise: "You caught it alone? It's too powerful. But speaking of it, this gentleman doesn't seem to be from Konoha Village."

Naruto immediately took over the conversation: "Brother Guiyue is originally from the Fire Country, and he just came back to the village from outside recently. I have talked to Granny Tsunade about the details. There is no problem with his identity, but he has not yet joined us. team."

"I see."

After saying that, Okitang nodded to Sasuke and said with a smile, "I never thought that there would be such a master in the village. In this critical period, it is really a blessing to have a jounin like you to help us."

"Brother Guiyue is just patient."

Naruto said hey, and the other three heard it and exclaimed, "Impossible!"

Iruka smiled wryly and said, "I also said it was impossible. It seems that Brother Hachioji used to practice in closed doors, did he miss the Jōnin exam? It doesn't matter, there will be an exam soon, and you can take it then."

Hearing this, Sasuke focused on the front and said: "It's not that I missed it, but it doesn't mean much to me whether I participate or not. As for this time, I won't participate either."

After saying this, several people asked curiously: "Why?"

"My level of performance is very unstable. Only when I am for Naruto, can I burst out with all my strength, but not at other times. It can be said that I am the type that cannot explode without love. So the exam cannot measure me normal level."

"what?!"

After saying that, Naruto stared at him with wide eyes, while Iruka and others looked at Naruto in surprise.

Sensing all kinds of surprised sights, Naruto blushed instantly, and waved desperately at several people: "He's talking nonsense, Brother Guiyue likes to joke."

However, Sasuke on the other side waved his hands to several people behind Naruto, saying that he was not joking.

Seeing this situation, the four of them showed subtle expressions in their eyes. ——a look of sudden realization.

Seeing this, Naruto was ashamed and anxious, and shouted: "Brother Guiyue, what are you doing!! Don't let people misunderstand!!"

Sasuke just looked at Naruto innocently.

Seeing this situation, Iruka first burst out laughing.

Naruto was even more ashamed, dancing and yelling, but it made him laugh even more.

While laughing, Iruka looked at Hachioji Guiyue and thought.

[The Eighth Prince Guiyue is also eighteen or nine years old, the gap between Naruto and Naruto is a bit big, and the origin is not very clear, so I still feel a little worried.However, along the way just now, although his eyes wandered and pretended to be casual, his eyes were obviously on Naruto. This kind of eyes was full of love and concern, which made people feel incredible and gratified... Good skills, but a low-key and sensible person, always I feel that with him by Naruto's side, Naruto will be safe.

Furthermore, thinking about it, it's not good for Naruto to always think about Sasuke.After all, what happened to Sasuke is doomed that his future life will be completely different from others.If Naruto still has that kind of obsession with him, it will be very dangerous for him.If a reliable person appears, it would be great to divert Naruto's attention so that he can start a new life...]

Thinking of this, Iruka took a serious look at Hachioji Guiyue.Sensing Iruka's gaze, Sasuke also looked, but saw some smiles in his eyes.

Some kind of unspoken meaning.

Sasuke didn't respond, nor did he hide.

He just continued to follow Naruto with his eyes, the usual concern in his eyes.

"However, Konoha's employment standards are all assigned according to the ninja level. If you really don't decide to take the exam, you can only accept some ordinary tasks in the village according to the current rating. It's a pity. If you are a ninja, you can send it Go to more distant areas, do some time-consuming tasks, and get more rewards." The ninja named Ito Taiichi beside the big wood hall reminded him kindly. "And if it's just forbearance, others may not be able to give you the respect that matches your strength."

"Junin is going to perform a mission far away?"

"Yeah, don't you know? In the past, you could choose by yourself. But now the village's economy is very tight. In order to increase the income of the village as much as possible, the ninjas are all day and night in the most challenging areas. The task. Although it is harder, farther away, and takes a little longer, the current asking price in our village has also increased a lot, and there will be great benefits."

Sasuke heard silence.

It turned out to be the case.

"It doesn't matter about Jonin or something. I still won't go." Sasuke said.

"Anyway, my level is higher than your Hokage, no... all of you Murakami Shinobi combined are no match for me. I just know it myself."

Hearing this, everyone was speechless, but Naruto's face turned red instantly.He was ashamed of Sasuke and whispered:

"Brother Guiyue, enough is enough for you! Don't just say big things!"

Seeing this, Iruka smiled wryly.

【Looks like it's too early for me to say this low-key...】

***

Soon, the six returned to the village.At this time, because the alarm has been completely spread, the village is full of guards with doors and windows closed.Let alone people, even cats and dogs dare not walk on the streets.Because beware of enemies that may appear at any time.

Da Mutang connected with the ninja in the left-behind village, asked about the situation, and immediately ran to report to Iruka.

"Senior Iruka. The current situation is that, including Mizuki, a total of 450 people have been arrested and brought to justice. There are still 50 people who are at large."

Hearing the news, Iruka was both happy and worried.

The joy is that the threat to the village is much less, and the worry is the 50 people who escaped.

"I think those who will be easily caught are small characters. The rest should have some tricks, right?"

"Yes, Senior Iruka." Da Mutang said with worry, "The remaining 50 people are notorious criminals not only in the Land of Fire, but also abroad. Especially the 30 people from the Special Care Center of the Prison for Serious Criminals. No one was caught."

Hearing this, Iluka said anxiously: "This is troublesome. Don't be afraid of anything else, just be afraid of these 30 people. If they join forces to attack the village... Their destructive power is comparable to that of a medium-sized ninja village." Trespass."

"We think so too. And there are signs that they are approaching. Maybe they have already realized this. But it is getting late, and it is inconvenient to hunt. The most troublesome thing is that there will be a storm at night. The village must be prepared for wind and rain. There is no manpower left to continue the hunt."

Hearing this, Iruka hurriedly asked, "What did Hokage-sama say?"

"Hokage-sama asked everyone to go back to the village first, and take precautions against the storm at night. After that, we will continue with the mission."

After saying this, Iruka's eyes gathered a trace of melancholy: "It seems that this is indeed the only way to go."

Naruto heard it, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Iruka, what, are you going to stop arresting? The longer those people wander outside, the worse it will be for the village!"

Iruka smiled bitterly and said, "I know that too. But every time a storm comes, a lot of manpower is needed to prepare. Otherwise, I'm afraid casualties are no less than an attack. Besides, the key criminal, Mizuki, has been caught. This is Our main purpose... Naruto, you have worked hard today. Rest at home tonight and wait for orders tomorrow."

Hearing this, even though Naruto felt unwilling, he had no choice but to admit it.Furthermore, hearing that Mizuki could be interrogated, his attention also shifted to him.

"Iruka-sensei, when can I get news of Orochimaru from Mizuki?"

"The interrogation will take place tonight, but you will have to wait until tomorrow to get the news. Everyone must prepare for the storm tonight."

"So that's it, I understand." I was really unwilling, but there was nothing I could do.

"By the way, does Hokage-sama know about Hachioji-san capturing Mizuki and Fengshen Raijin?" Iruka asked Oki again.

Da Mutang shook his head and said with a smile: "Hokage-sama is currently busy with a meeting with several Jnin representatives to discuss the escape. For the time being, I just know that Mizuki was arrested and brought to justice. I will explain it to Hokage-sama later. Brother Hachioji, please follow me to the meeting room and so on. Capture Mizuki and the others is a great achievement, I think Hokage-sama will reward you."

"No need."

Before Okitang could finish speaking, Sasuke supported Naruto's shoulders, and said to several people: "Naruto and I are going home. There is no need to expressly convey it."

"Ah, hello, Brother Guiyue, this is a good opportunity." Naruto said immediately. "If Granny Tsunade knew, she would definitely promote you.

But Sasuke just shook his head, and said to Iruka and the others, "Just say that Mizuki was caught by you."

"what?"

Seeing this, Naruto asked anxiously in a low voice, "Why, Brother Guiyue?"

Sasuke also whispered to him: "Didn't you hear what they said just now? If it's Jonin, they will be sent to remote areas to perform time-consuming tasks. Brother Guiyue doesn't want to be too far away from you to do those annoying jobs. Besides, have you forgotten? I still have to look for my lover’s coffin, so I don’t have time to spend it on unnecessary things. It’s good to be nearby. Besides, I’m not short of money.”

What, it turned out that it was only for this reason...

Naruto covered his head, speechless.

"Brother Guiyue!"

But Sasuke patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go home. Wouldn't it be better for you, Teacher Iruka, to make meritorious service? He can't be a zhongnin for ten thousand years, right?"

"But!"

No matter how Naruto persuaded him, Sasuke was unwilling to meet Hokage with Okido, so he finally had to give up temporarily.

When I got home, the sky was filled with dark clouds as expected.By this time, however, there were still 50 desperadoes fleeing outside the village.However, due to the requirement to prevent meteorological disasters, no one has carried out the capture plan outside.

Before the strong wind, the street is very quiet.The so-called calm before the storm.

But in this humid air, there is a subtle smell permeating.

It is an arrogant signal that the black rain is coming, and it seems to be a warning of some kind of danger.

Heavy clouds covered the air, and the rose-colored snake-shaped electric fire bared its fangs before rushing towards this area, flashing the scales of its body fiercely, clamoring for rage and hunger...

In this tense atmosphere, it always makes people feel that something will happen in this heavy rain.

Is it an illusion?

The author has something to say: Happy New Year everyone ^_^ Thanks to mine, I accepted four of them in one go, are you giving me red envelopes, haha, so happy.

Because I can't find the name, I won't write it here for the time being.Make it up next time. ╭(╯3╰)╮Thank you.Love you guys.

Then, the computer tragically crashed.Now the screen can only be opened to about 35 degrees, and writing is very difficult.The speed is much slower than in the past, please forgive me orz

Then, it is precisely because of this that it is too late to write an article, and it is difficult to reply all of your messages in time for various reasons (especially * seems to be stuck again), so I can only reply a little in a day, please forgive me.But I will reply as soon as possible ^_^

This article may be estimated at about 25 to 30 words.After thinking about it, it turns out that there is only one book for Qian Ai, and I can’t write that long (wry smile), but I will work hard to create it. ^_^ I hope you will support me a lot in the future.
