Konoha Ninja Samurai

Chapter 48 The Village
After accepting the task, Tokugawa Yukimura wanted to ask about the situation of his two teammates, but was told that they were performing another task.

"Cleaning up wild beasts is a C-level task. Even if ninja beasts appear, they have just reached B-level. Although ninja beasts are intelligent, they are not as troublesome as ninjas. You can complete this task by yourself," Chongsuke said.

After preparing the required items, Tokugawa Yukimura set off excitedly. He is very interested in ninja beasts, "Wouldn't it be great if I could get a psychic beast?"

It's a pity that he, who was immersed in fantasy, never imagined that he didn't have a psychic scroll, and secondly, he didn't know the art of psychic communication. He was obviously thinking too much if he wanted a psychic beast.

The country of iron is originally in the north, and Tokugawa Yukimura's mission location is in the north of the country of iron. The severe cold weather here can be imagined. It is winter for more than half a year. For the residents in the north, the reindeer is very important. Their importance is self-evident. Reindeer are the source of meat for the northern peoples, and their fur can also be used to make clothing.Reindeer are good at traversing various terrains and are the main means of production and transportation, so this attack by wolves on herdsmen's reindeer has attracted attention.

Three days later, against the bone-piercing snowstorm, Tokugawa Yukimura finally came to the village at the foot of the mountain.The scale of the village is small, and there are only a few hundred people at full count. However, there are rich mountain and forest resources here, and every household raises reindeer, adding up to tens of thousands of reindeer, which not only meets their own needs, but also supplies other places in the Iron Country.

After a brief inquiry, Tokugawa Yukimura found the village head's house who reported the situation.After knocking on the door, the person who came out to open the door was a somewhat stooped old man.In this era, it is not easy to live to this age, and age represents experience and wisdom.

After knowing his identity, the old village head trembled and wanted to bow down. To him, warriors were all great figures.

Tokugawa Yukimura stopped the other party's movements with some dumbfounding, and said: "Old man, don't be too polite, let's talk about the situation we are encountering now."

Speaking of the wild wolves attacking the deer herd, the old man was even more angry, and said: "Those damn wolf cubs, there were a dozen or so deer stolen and eaten in previous years, and we are used to it, but this time, in just one More than one hundred reindeer were bitten to death every month, and what's even worse, most of the reindeer were just bitten to pieces and not eaten, this damn beast is just taking revenge on us!" Speaking of the excitement, the old man couldn't help but use The cane hit the ground.

Tokugawa Yukimura touched his smooth chin, thinking about the current situation.Generally speaking, wild beasts are hunted just to feed their hunger, and few are hunted for the sake of killing. Could it be that it was really done by a wise ninja beast?
Next, Tokugawa Yukimura inquired about the situation of the victimized families in detail, and found that the targets of the wolves were completely irregular. Not only a few families on the edge of the village, but even the breeders in the center of the village were attacked.

"If it's really what Ninja Beast did, then this guy is really brave." Beasts are generally afraid of humans, and even wolves will stay away from the village if they make mistakes. It was they who took the initiative to provoke humans, even if they first awakened wisdom.

The information obtained from the old village chief's description is limited, and it is necessary to observe it on the spot. Tokugawa Yukimura made this request to the old man.

"The old man is already unable to walk. If you ignore the needs of adults, I will ask Sasaki to show you around. He is the leader of the hunting team in the village. He also caught several wolves with his own hands during several huntings this year." The old man suggested. .

Stepping on the compacted snow, accompanied by creaking noises, Tokugawa Yukimura followed the guides to the door of the leader of the hunting team in the village.The hunting team is spontaneously organized by the village to prevent the invasion of wild beasts, and the captain Sasaki has a high prestige in the hunting team, and he even says what he says.

After the door opened, a middle-aged man appeared in front of him.He was tall, estimated to be six feet, close to two meters, with a short hair, and the scars on his face added a bit of aggressiveness.His sharp eyes stared straight at the stranger in front of him, as if he wanted to scrutinize him thoroughly.But Tokugawa Yukimura had seen dozens of murderous desperadoes, so he didn't care about this momentum at all, and instead looked at each other with interest.

"Who are you?" Under the cover of a huge figure, Sasaki asked.

"Brother Sasaki, this is the samurai sent by the higher authorities to capture wild wolves." The young man leading the way subconsciously bent down and introduced.

"I'm Tokugawa Yukimura. I heard from the village chief that you know the situation better, so let me ask." Tokugawa Yukimura said.

"Then come in and sit down," the strong man nodded, and then said to the young man who led the way, "Xiao Lin, you go back first, and pay attention to patrolling, that beast will come anytime."

"Yes, Brother Sasaki!" The young man replied, turned and left.

Walking into Sasaki's house, Tokugawa Yukimura looked around and found that the house was surprisingly simple, except for the normal tables, chairs and benches, there was only a small fireplace emitting a warm fire, but the next moment, Tokugawa Yukimura's gaze was caught by the wall hanging Attracted by the huge wolf fur.

The silver-gray fur glowed under the firelight. From the size of the fur, it can be estimated that the shoulder height of this wolf was more than 1.5 meters, and the body length including the tail could reach four to five meters. This is almost two times the size of an ordinary wild wolf. Three times the size, such a guy, even without chakra, is enough to pose a threat to lower-level warriors. It is hard to imagine how such a beast was hunted down by this ordinary person. Perhaps this is the reason why Sasaki's prestige is so high.

"Sit down, I'll make you a cup of tea." The man of few words said, then turned and left.

"Hey, big brother, are you a warrior?" A crisp childish voice came.

Tokugawa Yukimura looked around, only to find a small dot at his feet, with a red face full of curiosity, and a hat that looked like a reindeer on her head, and the antlers swayed little by little as she swayed. is cute.

"Yes, big brother is a samurai." Tokugawa Yukimura smiled and hugged the little loli on his lap, hey, why did my hand move by itself?
"So are you as good as your father?" Little Loli compared Tokugawa Yukimura with her father, thinking that the thin and small him must not be as good as her father, "Daddy can catch such a big and fierce wolf. "

"They are all powerful, and your father is also very powerful." Tokugawa Yukimura smiled. In the eyes of children, fathers are always omnipotent.

Sasaki, who returned to the living room, saw his daughter, showed a rare smile, and said, "Sorry for the trouble."

"No, I like this child too." Tokugawa Yukimura put the little loli down and let her play by herself, then turned to Sasaki and said, "Tell me about the situation."
