(I forgot to tell everyone about Happy May Day, haha, everyone is happy about May Day~)
Although after the war, all the major countries began to recuperate and show signs of prosperity (the Kingdom of Fire being the most prosperous), as long as people still exist, crime will naturally not disappear. Of course, with the existence of ninjas, the so-called bandits and bandits
They are all local chickens and dogs. They are completely unable to resist the ninja's suppression. Such large-scale and overt criminal teams are rare.
Early the next morning, the four prepared members of Team 10 gathered in the mission delivery hall of Konoha Village. Hiruzen Sarutobi was not present. After all, as Hokage, he still had more things to do.
However, the members of Team 7, led by Hatake Kakashi, actually came here to deliver the task at this time. During this period, the two teams of genin greeted each other because they knew each other.
"Morning!"
"morning!"
The mission required leaving Konoha Village for a few days. The four members of Team 10 who had finished preparing were all carrying backpacks behind them, which made Naruto and others look at them a few more times.
As a familiar person, Naruto had doubts in his mind, so he was naturally too lazy to hide them. Although he was not very familiar with Shikamaru and the others at the ninja school, he still approached Shikamaru, pointed at his backpack, and asked, "Deer
Maru, what are you doing with your backpack on?"
Kakashi, who had been reading a book, finally turned his attention when he heard this, looked at everyone in Class 10, looked like he suddenly understood, said "ah", and said to Asuma: "You have already started to receive C-class
Mission accomplished!"
D-level tasks do not require leaving the village at all. It is said that some people will come all the way to hire ninjas for tasks such as picking up trash.
"C-level!" When Sakura heard this, she looked envious, which made Inochi beside her feel proud. The current situation of Class 7 obviously greatly satisfied her vanity.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto heard this, narrowed his eyes, pouted, ran to Kakashi, put on an obviously distrustful face, and asked: "Why Shikamaru and the others?"
Class 10 has already started doing C-level missions, and we still have to do D-level missions!?"
Naruto's tone and expression were clearly questioning whether the current situation was because of Kakashi.
Kakashi, who once again began to concentrate on watching the lovemaking paradise, didn't even glance at Naruto. He just responded lazily and lightly hit him: "I heard that Shikamaru has always been the first in school.
Choji and Ino's grades in school are also good? And they also performed very well in the genin test..." At this point, Kakashi took advantage of turning the page to finally glance at Naruto and give him a fatal blow.
: "It's not like a guy who is tied to a pillar and watches others eat. He can't even do D-level tasks well."
…………
Not to mention the quarrel between Kakashi and Naruto, after a while, a sturdy middle-aged man was brought to Team 10 by the receiving ninja.
After Asuma greeted the other party, he began to listen to the other party's explanation of the mission.
This mission involved four felons in a small town prison who worked together to kill the jailer and then escaped from the prison to a deep mountain outside the town. On the way, they also killed several more people, and
The knife was obtained, which made the local officials very angry, but it would cost a lot to search with troops. If it was Shikamaru's previous life, that would be the only way, but in this world, there are ninjas with supernatural powers who can be hired.
, which is naturally the best choice in this situation.
Of course, even if they are officials of the Fire Country, even at the level of city lord, they are not qualified to mobilize a ninja from the Ninja Village. The Ninja Village only directly reports to the daimyo. Unless the Daimyo of the Fire Country personally orders it, no Fire Country official can
If you are qualified to mobilize Konoha Village, you can only use normal employment methods to allow Konoha ninjas to contribute.
This man is a close associate of the official. He was sent to Konoha to issue tasks, but he has always been very polite. After all, the two organizations are of different affiliations, and the ninja is more powerful. Naturally, he cannot be humiliated. This is also the ninja of this world.
It was fundamentally different from Shikamaru's previous life.
Although the ninjas in Shikamaru's previous life have been packaged in various ways in modern times, in essence, they are not separated from ordinary people. Looking at Japanese history, ninjas have never been an important force that controls the battlefield, and they have done low-level things. The rulers
Naturally, they do not like to recognize and announce their status, which makes it difficult for ninjas to be bound by so-called "righteousness" such as nominal morality and loyalty. They are marginalized and belittled everywhere, unable to grow, and have to continue to wander in the dark realm, falling into a vicious cycle.
But in this world, with Shikamaru's current strength, if he is bent on killing, unless he is stopped by a ninja, it is not impossible to massacre villages and towns. It is not impossible for crazy people like Orochimaru and the Red Sand Scorpion to destroy countries and cities.
Having done this, let me ask, is it possible for a person with this kind of power to be willing to endure a low status and the humiliation of others? What a masochistic character this must have!
Since all the luggage has been packed, the person responsible for this task is actually only responsible for hiring ninjas, explaining the situation, and handing the map and a letter to Class 10, so Class 10 can go ahead. After all, the ninjas are not strong enough.
It's not something that ordinary people can keep up with. It's okay if he must go with him, but it will definitely slow down his speed.
After the four members of Team 10 were ready, they left Konoha under the leadership of Sarutobi Asuma.
As the jounin and experienced Sarutobi Asuma had prepared all the passes and documents for leaving the gate of Konoha, the journey went smoothly.
…………
On the afternoon of the third day, the four members of Class 10 finally arrived at their destination.
Before the setting sun set, its lingering afterglow coated the surface of the distant building with a layer of red light. Although the sky was getting darker, Asuma breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and walked with Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji.
Enter the town.
They were just a few fugitives, and they had already fled into the mountains, so they did not have much impact on the town, which was still prosperous at this time.
If you were an ordinary person, you would naturally need to find a place in this town to clean up before visiting the town officials. However, as ninjas, Asuma, Shikamaru and others came here to help deal with fugitives, so to do this
It was only superficial, but it was not good, so he rushed to the official's mansion as soon as possible.
After the visit, he handed over the letter from the person who entrusted the task to the official. Although he did not appear to be cheerful and enthusiastic, the person treated the four people with great courtesy and asked them to stay in the mansion for a night's rest before arresting them tomorrow.
Capture criminals.
Asuma wanted to refuse, but seeing the tired looks on Ino and Choji's faces, he had no choice but to nod in agreement. Ino and Choji were not in good condition and had no experience. They were fine during the day, but at night, they were careless.
There might even be a sneak attack next time.
…………
Early the next morning, Shikamaru got up, washed up, and began to carefully inspect the ninja tools. Although his opponents were just ordinary people, this habit should naturally be maintained.
The rooms of the four of them were connected. Shikamaru, who was arranging his ninja tools, listened carefully and noticed a sound coming from Asuma's room next door. He guessed that the other party had already gotten up.
Sure enough, a moment later, a sleepy Choji knocked on Shikamaru's door and asked Shikamaru to gather in Sarutobi Asuma's room.
It was still early in the morning, and although there were servants in the mansion who had already gotten up to clean the courtyard, it was generally very quiet. Occasionally, a few early birds landed on the trees or on the eaves, croaking, and Shikamaru took a deep breath of sober air.
I just feel that my spirit has been lifted a lot.
Shikamaru and Choji came to Asuma's room door. After knocking, they opened the door directly. Ino had already arrived at Asuma's room first. At this time, he was yawning and looking miserable.
She didn't have the usual vitality. She opened her mouth slightly. When she saw the door opened, she quickly reached out to cover her mouth. She was afraid of damaging the girl's image. Her panic movements made her look a bit coquettish. However, if she looked carefully, she could see that she was as energetic as Choji.
It's not that bad. I probably didn't sleep well last night.
After getting over the initial excitement, Ino and Choji still had some guesses, which is why they are what they are today.
After Shikamaru and Choji took their seats in the room, the three genin looked at Asuma together, quietly waiting for each other's instructions.
"Put this on." Asma, who had been sleeping with her eyes closed before, now opened her eyes and took in the performance of the three people. Without saying anything, she just took out four radio walkie-talkies and matching headsets from her backpack.
, after keeping one for himself, he handed the rest to the three people and ordered: "The four targets escaped into the mountains outside the town. Our mission is to track their traces and then hunt them down."
Although these four fugitives killed several people, in terms of strength, they were not even a match for Choji and Ino alone. Naturally, there was no need for any complicated plan. After Asuma finished giving instructions, he walked out of the room first.
The guide sent by the officials was waiting outside the door. After the four members of the seventh team were ready, they led them to the place where the prisoners fled into the mountains. Although the mountains were not high, they looked lush with trees and there were a few traces of people.
, if it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to hunt down, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources to do it.
The guide stood with his hands down and stopped talking. He would not be needed next, so Asuma waved to him and asked him to go back to the mansion.
After the guide left, Asma squatted down and looked at the traces left on the ground. The footprints were messy. It was obvious that the four prisoners were in a hurry at that time and therefore did not have the energy or time to deal with the traces.
Shikamaru also stepped forward at this time and observed carefully. Tracking was something that the Ninja School also taught, so Shikamaru was no stranger to it.
"Shikamaru, lead Ino and Choji and follow them along the way." After seeing the traces, Asuma stood up, lit a cigarette, waved his hand to disperse the smoke that spread in front of his eyes, and spoke lightly
Shikamaru ordered: "I will wait for you at the foot of this mountain."
In this inaccessible mountain, the whereabouts of four people with no training and little supplies were obvious to ninjas, so it was not difficult for Shikamaru to track them.
But when Ino heard Asuma's calm words, she couldn't help but frown and questioned: "Asuma-sensei, aren't you with us?"
"I am your instructor jounin, not your nanny," Asuma Sarutobi glanced at Ino and Choji expressionlessly, and said coldly: "You have all learned tracking in the ninja school, and if you even four
If you can't defeat an ordinary person, you have no qualifications to be a ninja."
Asuma, who had always been kind, suddenly spoke to herself in such a tone, which made Ino a little uncomfortable. She bit her lower lip lightly, but still looked at Asma stubbornly: "That's not what I meant, Asma.
teacher."
"That's best," Asma took a deep breath from the cigarette, then exhaled a cloud of smoke, her face looming behind it, and her expression could not be seen clearly: "But I advise you not to have unnecessary weakness and sympathy for the enemy.
If you are killed, do not imagine that you will receive awards and honors - as ninjas, if you are killed by ordinary people, ridicule will accompany your corpses in the grave."dd
