I write Hokage in Konoha

Chapter 24 Mission Continues
The three stood silently under the setting sun for a long time.

quite a while.

"understood."

Naruto looked at the sun that was about to disappear in the distance, and said helplessly.

"Then tomorrow, the two adults will have to work hard.

Because of this incident, the villagers dare not go out to fish, but fishing is all the source of income for our village. Without money, everyone can't live.

So I ask the two of you to finish fishing the fish in the reservoir first, and then investigate this matter.

Or the two of you can go back to Konoha City first, and then let Jonin handle this matter. "

Dahe looked embarrassed, and said this unfeeling request.

"Ah."

Naruto didn't think too much, just nodded in agreement.

"I'm really sorry, I can't leave the two of you to rest at home tonight. I'm sorry, the fishing boats and nets have already been prepared, and you will work hard tomorrow."

with a sigh,
Dahe turned his head to look at the courtyard where the cries kept coming.

"Understood, let's go."

Naruto pondered for a moment, and after agreeing, he directly called Chu Ran to leave this place.

"Please! Please solve this strange incident. On behalf of all the villagers in Xiahe Village, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you two!"

Dahe spoke sincerely.

After speaking, he bowed deeply to the backs of the two of them.

until the two disappeared.

On the road.

It was the first time Chu Ran heard Dahe's request to continue the fishing mission, and he could still follow his logic.

But the more I think about it later, the more I feel that this guy is cheating.

Because his words have already explained that after this incident, the young people in the village who were supposed to go fishing together will not participate in this harvest.

Then tomorrow, I will go fishing with Naruto alone?

What if the workload is huge?If there are hundreds of tons of fish.

Just two people, that won't make it to next year.

Alas, but who asked the other party to pay, it was the boss who issued the task.

Chu Ran sighed silently,
Follow Naruto and move on.

"Do you want to go to a villager's house to rest?"

Chu Ran asked suddenly, but he had his own thoughts in his heart.

"Tonight, don't stay in the village."

Naruto turned his head and looked at Chu Ran.

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and immediately understood each other's thoughts, chuckled together, and then followed the field path when they came, picked up Chakra, and rushed towards the dam.

Have to spend the night in the open air tonight.

Moreover, he had to go to the place where the mute woman fell into the water that Dahe said, and go to investigate the scene.

Chu Ran thinks so,
Coincidentally, Naruto does too.

The whole thing is too mysterious.

Although there are all sorts of strange ninjutsu in this world, there is nothing like what Taiga said.

The caster glared, and the caster controlled the caster as well as the time of life and death.

Samsara eyes can't do it either.

the only explanation,
There is only one.

An unknown monster lurks in the dam and even the entire river area, probably a mutant.

But the villagers mistook it for ghosts and gods, so they didn't dare to make any noise.

Naruto and Chu Ran know that there will be no pure ghosts in this world.

This time.

Naruto didn't intend to rest in the cemetery where he came back, instead he chose to go to the other side of the cemetery, which is the hill mentioned by Dahe.

into the forest.

The two jumped onto the branches.

Start to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

Chu Ran has even been able to roughly draw the entire Xiahe Village into a map in his mind.

Dahe Village is surrounded by rivers. At the head of the village is the dam that regulates the water flow. There are two natural forests on the left and right. In the middle, apart from the area where the highland residents live, there is also the area developed by the villagers. The two Chu Ran Live reservoirs for farmed fish that have not been seen yet.

If someone was trapped in such an island-like village and wanted to escape, it would be almost impossible without calculating the arrival time of the pier boat.

Soon.

The two came to the hill on the other side of the grave forest.

Standing at a safe distance of one meter from the shore, Chu Ran squatted down and looked at the soft-looking cliff in front of him, thinking.

The highest part of the hill is about five meters from the water level of the dam. At this height, when the dam is releasing water at night, if a woman falls down with no strength, the chance of her surviving is close to zero.

Because it happened half a month ago.

Therefore, there will be no traces left near the hills or on the edge of the cliff.

Even if they had a fierce fight here, the soft land has recorded the answers Naruto and Chu Ran wanted.

But these traces will also be erased bit by bit by the humid air and splashed water over time.

The bold and cautious Naruto walked towards the cliff after picking up Chakra on the soles of his feet.

Chu Ran couldn't stop it.

After all, this kind of loess cliff bank that has been eroded by river water all year round is no better than a cliff full of huge rocks. If you are not careful, landslides and landslides are likely to occur.

at this time,

Naruto stood on the edge of the cliff.

Just one heel in the air.

He squatted down slowly, using his palms to shake the weeds and soil on the edge of the cliff.

Chu Ran couldn't help but sweat for him in his heart.

However, Chu Ran soon breathed a sigh of relief, and he realized that with Naruto's control over Chakra, he can fall into the water as if walking on the ground, and he must not die if he falls.

"There are traces of a small landslide on the cliff here, here, and here, and here."

Naruto moved away half of his body, pointed to several irregular grasses on the cliff bank, and said to Chu Ran, but he didn't say the reason, like a teacher told the students the answer to the question in class, and then stood aside , expecting students to answer the question-solving ideas.

And Naruto really wanted to pass on what he had learned to Chu Ran.

"Grass roots, soil color, uneven land."

Chu Ran was awakened instantly, and expressed his opinions one by one.

"That's right, find a place to rest and act again at night."

Naruto walked back from the cliff carefully, looking at the little brother he brought out with satisfaction.

When meeting for the first time against the silt mutants.

Naruto felt that this young man was very keen in observing details, and his physical condition was not to be said. If he didn't waste his youth and cultivated it, he would definitely become a powerful ninja in the future.

The two left the hill.

In the end, Chu Ran chose the edge of the forest on the other side of the cemetery, where the river is parallel to the ground, with the forest in front and the open space behind.

Naruto also agreed with this decision.

This area has a wide field of vision, and it is easy to observe the general situation of Xiahe Village.

The main reason why Chu Ran chose this place is because it is close to the water surface, far away from the dam, the water flow is gentle, and the waters on the shore are crystal clear.

Practice water body here,

It just couldn't be more suitable.

Throwing the backpack behind him under the nearest big tree, Chu Ran excitedly took out the scroll of [Water Escape·Single Water Body] from the ninja bag, and walked towards the shore.

"Chu Ran, what's in your backpack? It's quite heavy?"

Naruto cleared an open space under the big tree, leaned against the root of the tree, picked up Chu Ran's backpack and asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, this kid Chu Ran has been walking forward with heavy loads. Naruto looked at his casual beach attire again, and suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Originally, Naruto had brought some belongings in his shoulder bag, but unfortunately they were all gone.

"A few sets of clothes, and in order to prevent things like this from happening now, I brought a lot of snacks, some nutritious fruits and two bottles of 300ml purified water."

Standing on the shore, Chu Ran, whose seal was interrupted, turned back to explain, and added another sentence by the way: "If you save some food, it will be enough for two people to survive in the wild for three days."

"Hey, then I won't be polite!!"

Without saying a word, Naruto put his paws into the backpack.
