Demon Fox Sovereign Lord Group:
He didn't find anyone in the first wooden house. He continued to enter the second and third wooden houses, and the situation was still the same.
The entire village was empty!
"What is going on?" Xiao Ying's face was filled with surprise. How could she not find a single person in such a huge village?
Sasuke Uchiha pondered for a while and frowned,""Could it be that he was captured by those bandits?”
"It can't be?"
A hint of panic appeared on Xiao Ying's face as she said worriedly,""If it was really those bandits, then why did they capture these villagers?”
"I'm not sure." Sasuke shook his head.
Naruto was deep in thought. Seeing that Kakashi's expression was calm and did not seem to have any intention of expressing his opinion, he immediately asked,""Teacher Kakashi, shouldn't you tell us the objective of this mission?”
"Hmm? Didn't I tell you?" Kakashi was stunned for a moment before he scratched his head.
"No, I haven't."
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura shook their heads firmly.
Kakashi replied with an 'oh', then immediately scratched his head and laughed dryly."Sorry, sorry, I forgot about this.”
" What?!"
Sasuke and Sakura's faces immediately turned red. They gritted their teeth and said,""We always thought that you were carrying out some secret mission, so you didn't tell us first! So you just forgot!"
"Ahaha, I have no choice. There have been a lot of things to do these past two days.”Kakashi immediately pretended to be careless and paused for a moment before saying,"This C-rank mission was entrusted by a man in this village. However, as soon as he entrusted this mission, he immediately fainted. He was sent to the hospital for a check-up, but the result was that he went into shock due to overwork.”
"So this client didn't come with us?”Naruto murmured softly, then looked up at Kakashi and asked,"What about the specific mission?"
"Save the villagers of this village." Kakashi said with a solemn expression.
Naruto and the other two looked at each other, waiting for Kakashi to continue.
Kakashi continued," There were originally four or five villages around the Precious Pine Mountains. However, two months ago, a group of bandits arrived and began to capture the people of the villages. They ordered the people of the villages to find a tree and kill them if they could not find it within half a month. Three villages had already been killed by these bandits. According to the time, tomorrow…would be exactly two months!”
"Ah?"
Xiao Ying covered her mouth and cried out. Her pretty face was filled with shock that could not be concealed. She gritted her teeth and said angrily,"For a tree…you killed…the entire village? Isn't this too hateful!"
"Find a tree?" Sasuke asked with a frown on his cold face. He had been paying attention to what Kakashi had said earlier. Those bandits seemed to be very interested in a tree, and were even willing to slaughter the villagers one by one. "What kind of tree is worth it?”
"I'm not sure. The villager fainted before he could explain the exact details.”Kakashi spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.
"In other words, the purpose of our mission this time is to save the residents of the last surviving village?”Naruto looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi nodded lightly.
However, they still had no clue about this matter. They didn't even know where the bandits 'lair was or where the villagers were locked up.
Just as the four of them were discussing, the window of the small wooden house next to them let out a click.
"Who is it?"
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura shouted at the same time. They turned around at the same time and became wary of the wooden house in front of them.
The three of them looked at each other. Sasuke walked forward cautiously, grabbing the door handle.
The moment the door was opened, three black figures suddenly rushed out.
"I'll kill you bunch of evil bastards!”
Sasuke gently moved to the side and dodged the three black shadows that were charging at him.
"Ouch!"
The three black shadows missed Sasuke and staggered before falling to the ground.
Under the moonlight, the three shadows revealed their true forms.
It was actually three little kids who were six or seven years old!
Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke surrounded him.
Xiao Ying's eyes widened as she saw the faces of the three little fellows clearly. Her pretty face could not help but reveal a hint of surprise."A child?"
"Hmph, you despicable scoundrel. Let our parents go home immediately, or I won't forgive you.”The three children, two boys and one girl, stared at Xiao Ying and the other two with fear on their young faces, but they still stubbornly clenched their small fists.
Xiao Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Could it be that they still didn't understand their situation? They were clearly the ones who were surrounded by them.
"Deng!"
Xiao Ying immediately waved her hand and knocked three times on their heads.
"It hurts!"
A child was still a child after all. With a small bump on her head, her eyes were immediately covered with a layer of mist. One of the girls said with a sobbing tone,"Ugly freak!"
"Aiya!" Xiao Ying was furious. She placed her hands on her hips and was about to transform into a tigress.
At this moment, Naruto suddenly said,""Alright, Xiao Ying, don't scare them.”
Xiao Ying pursed her lips. She was very uninterested in these little ghosts.
Naruto smiled at the three little fellows.""Don't be afraid. We are Muye's ninjas, not bad people. Not only will we not hurt you, but we will also help your parents get back.”
"Do you think you can lie to us? We've long seen through your true colors!”One of the little boys was holding a wooden stick in his hand.
"That's right, we won't be deceived by you!”Hearing this, the other boy and girl also looked wary.
Naruto smiled." It's because you're smart and can see that we're good people, so we don't dare to lie to you."”
"What? Is that so? Then there's nothing I can do. It seems that you guys are really good people.”The three little fellows scratched their heads, and a cute look of embarrassment appeared on their faces after being praised.
The three little fellows were obviously inexperienced. They did not have any schemes, and their hearts had not been polluted. They were so pure that they believed Naruto without thinking much.
The corners of Sasuke and Sakura's mouths twitched." Even if these three little devils were sold by Naruto, they would probably still help him count the money!
