Chapter 26 Intelligence Gathering

The existence of desire will naturally be accompanied by sin.Even in peacetime, there are not a few bandits and bandits.Before the war broke out, if any bandits appeared near the village, the villagers could still hire ninjas to solve their troubles. However, since the outbreak of the Ninja World War, the domestic situation in the Kingdom of Kawa has been turbulent, refugees have appeared in large numbers, and countless people have been displaced. The traces are increasing day by day, and because many refugees have joined in, the number and power of the rogue bandits continues to increase.Since the ninjas are too busy taking care of themselves at this time, how can they still have time and energy to take over the task of suppressing bandits. Most of those bandits are ordinary people. Ordinary people are like ants in the eyes of ninjas. Ninjas who run on the line of life and death every day , let alone care about the life and death of ordinary villagers.

Ninjas cannot be hired, leading to increasingly rampant thieves and bandits. Larger villages are better off, and they can organize the young people in the village to resist when they are invaded. But small villages with sparse populations or remote locations, even if they face bandits, they have to pay the price. The blood and lives of the villagers were lost, but their resistance was ultimately very small.Therefore, bandits have been rampant since the war, and except for a few villages with fierce folk customs, other ordinary villages have suffered greatly.

The place where the teenagers are located is a remote area with very few villages around. The village that Jiraiya told them was being invaded by thieves is the place where they usually exchange daily necessities. It is equivalent to a supply station for the teenagers. If there is no With the existence of that village, everyone really wants to live like a savage.Therefore, whether it was due to the test of suppressing bandits or their own will, the village could not afford to lose.

After a while, the teenagers were ready. Everyone gathered at the door. After checking the ninja tools in their backpacks, they said goodbye to Jiraiya.Jiraiya didn't say much. He nodded and watched the teenagers group up and go on the road.

The teenagers didn't talk much along the way. Although this was a test, it was also the first mission they performed since learning ninjutsu.No one really cares about what kind of vicious gangster the other party is. After a year of study, they have already mastered the power far beyond ordinary people. As long as the other party does not have any ninjas, even if there are more people, everyone will not Fearful, but somewhat excited to try.

Because the teenagers had not yet learned to walk on water, they only slowed down when crossing the river along the way. Like the forest area on the other side of the river, when traveling in the forest, everyone could already reach the level of walking on flat ground.

In about an hour, the teenagers arrived at the target village after walking through the forest.

Originally, the group of four teenagers walking on the street was quite eye-catching, but at this time, there was no one on the village streets. Most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and a cool breeze brought drizzle. It blows through the streets and alleys, bringing a bit of coolness and making the place seem even colder.

Looking at the state of the village, Yuehuaai frowned. The scene here was completely different from the last time they arrived, because the village was small and the population was small. The previous time they came, although the place couldn't be said to be bustling with people, There are not a few pedestrians on the street, but everywhere is dead silent like it is now.

"These bandits are really abominable!" Yahiko cursed bitterly as he looked at this scene. Obviously, the two completely different scenes before and now filled him with anger.

"It turned out like this..." Xiaonan couldn't help but murmured when she saw the scene in the village and thought of the faint traces of fighting that still remained at the entrance of the village.

Nagato didn't say anything, but he bit his lip lightly and frowned.

"Okay, everyone, don't sigh for now. Let's go inquire about the situation here and see if anyone here knows the traces of the bandits!" Yue Huai said to everyone.In fact, the scene like this is quite good. Compared with the villages and towns that were burned to the ground when he fled when he was a child, the villagers here are relatively lucky.The more he saw, the less he felt emotion, and he was too lazy to think too much. After saying hello, Yuehua Ai walked at the front towards a tavern that he remembered.Taverns and hotels have always been the best channels for getting information.Naturally, it is impossible for a hotel to exist in a village like this, but fortunately, there used to be a tavern here.

Of course no one would object to Xiao Ai.In fact, since Jiraiya taught everyone, because of everyone's temperament and character, Jiraiya also let everyone choose specialization when practicing, so everyone also tends to divide the labor when doing things or training in groups.

Yahiko has a proactive personality and has leadership skills, so he is usually the captain during operations, and he has the final say in some big decisions.As a captain, of course, he must have the determination and ability to protect his companions, so Yahiko mainly practices close-range swordsmanship in physical skills. Once a battle breaks out, he will be the first to charge forward.

Nagato and Konan actually have quite a lot of similarities in their personalities. Their personalities are relatively calm and their emotions are relatively reserved. Although they are boys, Nagato's personality is a bit more sensitive than Konan's. He is more likely to be attracted by external things. Influence.

Therefore, in combat coordination, Konan is the auxiliary attacker besides Yahiko, while Nagato is responsible for protecting them and providing assists to them.

As for Yuehua Ai, because he has a unique gift of perception and a mature and cautious thinking mode, he usually acts as an intelligence collector, danger detector and plan maker.

Therefore, in this test of exterminating bandits, he is responsible for collecting intelligence and making preliminary plans. After finding the target, he also determines the environment and danger of the battle.It can be said that the role played by Yuehua Ai is the most important compared to others.

No one knows Yuehua Ai's ability better than Yahiko and the others. Although he looks like a [-]-year-old kid on the surface, his strength is not only not weaker than everyone else's, but his thoroughness of thinking far exceeds theirs. .

After walking for a few minutes, everyone turned a corner and found the tavern they remembered.The signboard at the entrance of the tavern only has the word "Pub" on it. A tavern like this doesn't even have a proper name. In fact, after all, there is only such a tavern in the small village, so there is no need to name it.

Everyone opened the door and walked in one after another.

After all, it is a tavern in a small village. The interior decoration of the tavern is very simple. The area of ​​this tavern is really small. There are only four or five tables inside besides the counter.

Yue Huaai looked around and found that the place was much messier than he had imagined, and the tables and chairs here were all empty. Except for the boss sitting behind the counter, there was no one there.

The owner of the tavern is a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s. He is not tall, only a little taller than Yahiko. He has a slight bald head and some fat on his face, but he has no fat on his face. He looks kind-hearted and kind-hearted. He has a big belly, his arms and legs are white and fat, and his figure looks a bit rich.

The tavern owner had been sitting behind the counter, looking listless and decadent. When people got closer, they could still hear him sighing.

br />

When the door curtain was pulled up, the tavern owner moved and raised his head slightly. After seeing clearly that only a few children came in, he paused as he wanted to get up, and then sat down again.

They didn't take the other party's neglect of Yuehua Ai seriously. After all, the village had just encountered robbers, and few people were still in a good mood.Moreover, it was clear from the first glance that they were not here to drink, so their scornful attitude was understandable.

"What do you want?" Seeing everyone coming to stand in front of the counter, the tavern owner had no choice but to ask.

Yahiko and others looked at each other. Yahiko hesitated and was about to say something, but Yuehua Ai took the initiative to speak.

"Boss, I want to ask you about the bandits you encountered here. We are ninjas. Because we received a commission from someone before, we came here to solve the problem here!"

"Uh..." Yahiko and the others felt a bit stunned by Yuehua's intention to show off to everyone neatly.They looked at Xiao Ai and saw that his expression was as usual, and they knew that he must have a reason for being so straightforward.After thinking about it for a while, everyone understood that the most important thing in gathering information is the result, and the process only serves the result. Yuehua Ai seemed to be reckless and revealed everyone's purpose, but this pair of people wanted to know from the tavern owner. The robber's information is the best reason.There was no one else in the tavern except the tavern owner, so the only source of information was. If they were looking for other excuses to make insinuations, he would not match their children's identities at all. Their age had actually restricted them, no matter what excuses they made up. , the other party will not believe it easily, and it may even arouse the other party's suspicion, making intelligence work more difficult to carry out.

Instead of looking for excuses that are full of loopholes, it is better to directly explain the purpose of one's group like Yuehua Ai, and expose their identity as ninjas, which will make it easier for the other party to believe, and it will be more likely to successfully obtain information about the bandits from him. .

Seeing the looks in other people's eyes, Yuehua Ai knew that they understood something of her meaning.In fact, what Yahiko and the others thought were indeed what Yuehua Ai had considered. However, compared to their considerations, Xiao Ai considered a little more at the beginning, that is, the gangsters were all ordinary people.

When dealing with ordinary people, collecting intelligence is naturally not that particular. If his target is a ninja, he will never be so reckless. You know, ninjas will not reveal their identity easily when asking for information, because they do not know their own information at all. The source, whether it is a minion specially arranged by the other party.

Bandits and robbers are already despised by young people. When asking for information about them, it is natural not to be cautious, but simple and rough is the most suitable for the current situation.

"Ninja!?" The tavern owner's squinted eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at everyone's foreheads and then elsewhere, only to find that the teenagers were not wearing forehead protectors.There was a trace of surprise in his eyes. Although he was a little doubtful, he still chose to believe it.

Because when he saw the faces of the teenagers, he knew that none of them were from this village. Because the village was so big, it was impossible for there to be children that he had never seen before.And he found that the demeanor of these young people was different. Even if they were just standing, they were filled with strong self-confidence.

Seeing the change in the boss's expression, everyone knew that he believed most of it.They didn't continue speaking, just waiting for each other's answer.

Sure enough, the tavern owner was surprised and then spoke out the information the teenagers needed.

"I don't know the origin of the group of bandits a few days ago, but I think they were made up of some refugees. You also know that in this world, people are fleeing everywhere anyway. There are some people with bad intentions among them, and they will naturally become He became a bandit and bandit."

Everyone nodded at what the tavern owner said, he was indeed right.Naturally, there are people of all kinds among the refugees. In order to survive better, some people form gangs and start robbing families and homes.In fact, even they have done some bad things. You must know that they did a lot of sneaky things in order to survive before. But that was also because they were just children at the time. In order to survive, they had no ability to survive, so they could only do this. Generally speaking, what they did in the past was excusable. Compared with those guys who fell into trouble and worked together, they were much better.

"In the past few days, villagers from several nearby villages have come here to inquire about information, and I also learned something from them. We are in a relatively remote area, and the villages are relatively scattered. If you want to meet other villages, It still takes a long time to travel, so I guess this group of bandits is probably based nearby."

"According to recent rumors, the other party seems to be plundering in a circle. There are only a few villages nearby. After they have robbed a circle, they may come again soon." The tavern owner raised his head and sighed, "I have been I'm just thinking about this matter when I'm in a daze here. If it weren't for the fact that there are only a few of our villages in this area and other villages are too far away from us, I really want to move away immediately. This kind of life, ugh... ..."

After saying that, the tavern owner sighed.

Listening to the other party's complaints, everyone was not dissatisfied.

"If the other party wants to stay active in this area, do you know where they are most likely to be stationed?" Through the boss's words, Yuehuaai thought a lot.

"This... I'm actually not too sure. However, if I were to guess, they are probably stationed on a mountain in the north. That mountain is not big, and it is in the center of several of our villages. , and the mountain has a special terrain, and there is a large cave there. Earlier, it had been a place where villagers took refuge during wars."

Regarding the boss's words, Yuehuaai nodded. The other party's guess was very good, and it seemed that there was only so much information that could be obtained from him.

After Xiaonan expressed his gratitude to the tavern owner for his help, everyone left the tavern. Although they got a lot of information here, they still wanted to inquire from more people.

Just when everyone turned around and was about to open the door and leave, the slightly trembling voice of the tavern owner rang out again,

"Are you...are you really ninjas here to deal with the bandits?"

"Of course!" Yahiko turned around and grinned, showing half of his shining white teeth.

"Well, then, then, you should be careful!"

"Definitely!" Everyone responded, waved their hands, and pushed out the door without looking back.

Suddenly, only the wealthy tavern owner was left in the tavern, but his state at this time was completely different from the weak one at the beginning. He was still sitting quietly behind the counter, but at this time he had his hands clasped together, and he just His eyes were no longer dull, but shone with a brilliant light called hope.
