This was a rather remote place in the eastern part of the Fire Country. There was a village stationed under a mountain. Logically speaking, such a remote and uninhabited place should be the safest and most peaceful.
Indeed, this village had existed for more than twenty years. It had always been the most peaceful and safe place. Even the second and third War of the Ninja Realm did not affect this place. The peaceful village that had flourished for many years before it was destroyed by natural disasters had been invaded by a group of mountain bandits with the surname Meng Qi a few months ago. They had occupied the village and bullied the villagers, making them work for them for free. In ancient times, they were commonly known as slaves.
The village wasn't very big, with only 40 to 50 houses. The surroundings of the village were surrounded by thorns. Every six to seven meters around the thorny net, there was a bare-chested man standing guard with a machete in his hand.
From this, it could be seen that this so-called leader of the Monchi family wasn't an arrogant and condescending person. He had some intelligence and strategic thinking.
On top of the mountain, there was a towering tree that could see the entire village. On the top of the tree, Moxie was holding a pair of binoculars to observe everything in the village. He counted the bandits standing guard and found that there were about 30 of them. There were also four or five bandits who were acting as lookout guards on the tallest building in the village. Not counting the bandit leader and other bandits, there were at least 40 to 50 bandits in this Meng Qi family's bandit lair.
Putting down the binoculars, Moxie frowned and muttered to himself,""There are forty to fifty of them, and they are scattered in different parts of the village. If we rashly charge in and kill them, although we can succeed, even a desperate dog can jump over a wall, let alone a human. Even though I had the strength to take on dozens of bandits at once, I couldn't just go over and kill them. After all, I couldn't let any of the villagers die in this mission. Otherwise, it would be considered a failure.”
The reason why the bandits had set up the thorny iron net near the village was to show that they had taken the entire village as hostages. After all, how could ordinary people be a match for ninjas? After so many years, many bandit groups had died at the hands of ninjas. They knew that there was no such thing as a corner in the world that could not be vented, but they still insisted on becoming bandits and occupying the village. The leaders of the bandit groups of the new era naturally learned their lesson and wanted to take the villagers as hostages. If they were not afraid of death and hired ninjas to eliminate them, then once they saw ninjas, they would kill every villager they saw and drag them down with them. Therefore, many years ago, C-rank missions had to protect the safety of the villagers. Even if a villager died while the ninja was carrying out a mission, it would be considered a failure.
That was why those idiotic novels where they received a C-rank mission and then rushed into a village occupied by bandits to destroy them were only fantasies.
In this world, once there were groups, it was a cruel world that required wisdom to survive.
"Looks like this is the only way! Transformation!" Moxie once again picked up his binoculars and surveyed the village. Then, his hands quickly formed a seal, and his body exploded like a smoke bomb. A white smoke dissipated with the wind, and a fly flew towards the village.
Just as Moxie turned into a fly and flew towards the village, a figure appeared on the treetop where he had been standing for a long time. It was the Dark Group that had been ordered to protect him in the dark.
" His strength is above all the ninjas in this batch. His outstanding anti-detective ability and now his calm and collected wisdom. Such a genius was actually born in a peaceful era!"”A crisp voice came from the Dark Group. This Dark Group member was actually a woman. After being fooled by Moxie a few days ago, this Dark Group had a whole new level of respect for him. At the same time, they were also curious about him. Therefore, they did not return to their original spot to look for Moxie. Instead, they arrived at the village a few days earlier than Moxie and waited for him to arrive. She had also heard Moxie's muttering to himself just now. After seeing Moxie turn into a fly and fly towards the village, the Dark Group who had been carrying out this C-rank mission immediately understood Moxie's plan.
"Moreover, what a superb mastery of transformation and chakra control!”The Dark Group had been shocked when they saw Moxie turn into a fly. The transformation technique could transform many things, including people and objects. However, it was a hundred times more difficult to transform into something that had signs of life than an inanimate object. This was because the details were very important when you wanted to copy any part of the other party. Especially when you turned into another person, you had to imitate the other party's temperament, gaze, and expression. These were the three most difficult points of transforming into a human.
There were even more difficult transformations for creatures like flies and mosquitoes that were the size of rice grains. Only Medical Ninjas who had a certain degree of control over the chakras could do it.
Moxie didn't know that his transformation technique had brought a strong fear to the Dark Group. At this time, he had already flown into the village and was flying towards a building with an open window.
Mo Xie didn't enter the room immediately after he came to the side of the open window. Instead, he stopped at a corner and looked into the room.
"Mom…I'm so scared. Are we going to be bullied by those bad guys in the future?”A little boy's head was buried in a woman's embrace, making a trembling sound.
"No, child. This kind of life won't last long. Soon, Lord Ninja will come and chase away those bad guys and save us.”The woman patted the little boy's back gently with her hand, then took a basket from the side. It was filled with eggs, and she said to the little boy,"Be good, don't be afraid. In order to ask the passers-by to help us hire Master Ninja, Village Chief has already used up all his savings. We can't forget Village Chief's kindness.”
"Yes." The little boy obediently took the basket and walked out of the house.
At the same time, a fly flew up from the window.
