So when Qingyu put away his ninja forehead protector and took the initiative to look for trouble, and followed the scar-faced man into the alley with special cooperation, his goal had been achieved.
One minute later...
Qingyu was like a hard-working little squirrel, raising and lowering his hands on the scar-faced man lying on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face.
The intensity of the scene can only be described as there were men on the left and right, and men on top of each other!
It wasn't until he plundered all the valuables from them that he said in a very depressed tone: "That's it? You are the boss anyway, how come you take your little brother on a long trip without taking any money? Or now?"
Are casino operators and loan sharks already so miserable?"
As early as when Qingyu knocked them to the ground with three blows, the scar-faced man already knew that he was in trouble for 'fishing' this time!
But after hearing that the other party continued to ridicule him after taking the money, he couldn't help but retorted, "My friend, it's okay for you to be a gangster, but it's a bit too much to be so foul-mouthed!"
Qingyu felt very guilty after hearing this. Yes, the other parties are loan sharks and thugs who run casinos. They are all children. How could I do this?
So he wanted to influence the other party...beat these guys again!
One minute later...
"Stop... stop it, big brother, why don't I call you big brother? Why don't you continue to have a bad mouth? It's better to be ridiculed than to continue to be beaten." The scarred man, who is about to swell into a pig's head, speaks a little bit.
The wind is leaking, and tears are about to fall.
He just wanted to collect a debt, but the debtor refused to repay the money, and he couldn't afford to offend him. As a result, he was still being teased while walking on the street. Is it easy for him?
If he could do it over again, he would never choose Li Bai, ah... he would never let a good loan shark go and come to ask for debt.
And after seeing the opponent being so aggressive, Qingyu couldn't bear to fight anymore. After all, they were still... just children!
But just when he was about to take the money to find a guide to go home, he suddenly had another idea, turned around and asked, "Does any of you know how to get to Konoha?"
The scar-faced man hesitated for a moment and did not dare to say anything.
But his younger brother sold it to him right away!
"Boss, weren't you clamoring before to go to Konoha to send out a mission to arrest the 'big fat sheep' who owed money and refused to pay it back?"
"Yes, boss, you definitely know how to get to Konoha!"
The scar-faced man who was suddenly roasted on the fire just kicked their hearts out!
Are there any of you who would betray your boss like this?
You don’t want this month’s salary, last month’s salary, or last month’s salary, right?
Okay, I admit that not being paid for three months in a row is a bit of a jerk.
But this is not the reason for you to betray me with confidence!
Then before he could clear the door, he saw an excited smile suddenly appear on the devil's face...
"You... don't..."
.............
Outside the town, Qingyu took a few dejected guys on the road.
What he thought was actually very simple. The scar-faced man knew how to get to Konoha from here anyway, so why did he spend the unjust money on hiring a guide?
Wouldn't it be nice to save the money and have a nice meal?
And since we have a new tool, if we don’t use it, wouldn’t it be a loss of 100 million!
What?
You ask, what use do these guys have besides lending usury?
Of course I work part-time!
This little travel fee is enough to do anything!
When he got to the next town, he was going to send these guys to work to make money, and then he could pump water comfortably.
In this way, although it is a little slower, it is still much easier than when we came here.
Anyway, he couldn't get up quickly with these oil bottles, and this was the only safest route the scar-faced man knew.
It is impossible to just choose the uninhabited mountains and old forests as we did when we came here, and rely on the high mobility of ninjas to make the journey.
So Qingyu, who was 'forced to have no choice', could only enjoy it with peace of mind.
If you have nothing to do, pet the cat and beat the tool man who wants to escape...
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Konoha, he completely relaxed.
It’s the group of scarred-faced men who have suffered the so-called ‘reform through labor’.
When will this kind of day end?
.....................
At this time, Team Mikawa, who had completed the mission, was reporting the results of the mission in the Hokage's office.
The atmosphere... is extremely heavy!
After listening to the report, Sarutobi sighed heavily when he learned that Qingyu took the initiative to divert the enemy away, so that his whereabouts were unknown and his life or death was unknown.
When he asked the Sanhe team to take over this task, he had no idea that so many changes would happen.
He just wanted Qingyu to calm down and have as little contact with the Jinchuuriki as possible in the future.
At the same time, he was also preventing Danzo from secretly attacking him.
After all, his old friend would not care about the dead Minato.
As for the title of genius, it doesn't even matter.
For his own ideals, Danzo was able to kill even his old friend, let alone a child.
So this is actually a kind of protection and warning in disguise.
But no matter what, plans can never keep up with changes, and it's too late to regret now.
"This time, due to an oversight in the frontline battle, the mission level was upgraded to...a level, and the mission reward was increased to one million taels."
"In addition, I will send another team of people to search for Shinomiya Aoyu's whereabouts until he is found or...his death is confirmed."
Although doing this would waste the few manpower in Konoha at the moment, in order to give an explanation to Team Mikawa, Sarutobi could only do this.
After all, this urgent task was specially given to Mikawa Class by him. Now that there is a problem, he is naturally responsible.
But the people in the Sanhe class were indifferent. They were not happy about having an A-level task in their resumes, nor did they care about the compensatory reward of one million taels.
Compared with money, if there are no people, what's the use?
And this task should not be something they can take on now!
As for sending people to look for him now, they are mostly just for comfort. After all these days, could any miracle still happen?
At most, you can search for a few days in a symbolic way, and then maybe give up...
Team Mikawa walked out of the Hokage Building and disbanded on the spot.
Because of Qingyu, no one is still in the mood to celebrate, and no one is still motivated to complete the task.
Fortunately, Sarutobi also knew how much impact the death of his companion would have on them, so he gave them a long vacation.
When will the Sanhe team be replenished before we can come back to do the mission?
This is not cold-blooded, but death is the destiny of ninjas.
Especially in war years, a large number of people died almost every day.
So there is not much time for them to continue to feel sad.
