Naruto: The Legend of Mortal Bone Ninja

Bonfires were lit one after another, and small groups of mercenaries gathered together, drinking and chatting about various interesting topics.

There is absolutely no sense of nervousness, panic or anxiety in the face of the coming war as ordinary people think.

Not all participants in the Ninja World War are ninjas. Whether they spend money or promise benefits, the work of mercenaries will not be cut off.

Recently, the risks and rewards of entrusting Sunagakure Village in the Land of Wind have been the highest. The Fourth Kazekage, who was appointed at the critical moment, was able to hold on and prevent Sunagakure Village from being expelled from the shinobi world. This group of mercenaries who can do anything for money can be said to be a credit. It’s a must.

This is not uncommon in the history of the ninja world. After all, the predecessors of the hidden villages of the five major ninja countries were mercenaries. The difference is that the five hidden villages were successfully remodeled and listed on the market, which raised their social status to a higher level, and these mercenaries also Doing their old tricks.

Among the five hidden villages, only Yunyin Village, which advocates military expansion, thinks highly of itself and disdains to take care of the business of these old guys. The rest have all used mercenaries to do a lot of things, and it is not surprising that they even hired famous criminal organizations.

There were cheers from the camp in the forest. Someone captured a live deer nearby, and three people dragged a monster wild boar as big as a second floor and slaughtered it on the spot. After cleaning it, they directly put it on the fire and roasted it. Soon, it was thick and rich. The smell of blood turned into a strong aroma of oil, which was mouth-watering.

As long as you pay the money, you can go up and cut the meat. If you want to drink, you can charge more or less. It depends on the mood of the owner of the prey to decide how much to charge.After all, they are mercenaries, not merchants, and they are all fools who would sacrifice their lives for a little money.

The atmosphere in the venue has changed from being strangers to each other and becoming warm. No one can stop the birth of a bonfire party!

No one can!

The mercenaries who usually fight each other for profit are particularly honest and well-behaved now. Maybe their mentality is different between the small fights and the big war.

Everyone took out some food to share with each other. An extra large iron pot was summoned by someone using time and space ninjutsu. Everyone took out the good things they had on hand, such as dried meat, cereals, etc., after getting the one who wanted to have a good bite. The mercenary who brought the iron pot with him agreed and put it into the pot. Soon the large iron pot was stewed with a stew of many foods.

As for the military rations distributed by the ninjas of Iwagakure Village who placed them here... dogs won't eat those things.

It also made the ninjas of Iwagakure Village, who were monitoring them and delivering orders, drool with envy. As for stopping these unorganized and undisciplined bastards from causing trouble, it was even more impossible.

Li Zhen held the bowl with great anticipation and waited for the thick soup to come out of the pot. He really liked soup. Li Zhen, who was staring at the blazing bonfire in a trance, guessed that it was almost time, right?

A group of rough men surrounded the iron pot. There was another round of shouting, and a young mercenary who had recently joined the cult organization added new ingredients to the pot after receiving permission.

It seemed to be a relatively expensive ingredient. It is said that the combined value of the ingredients in that pot was not as good as the ingredient that the young man put in. It can be said that the entire pot of soup was sublimated because of this ingredient!

……Um?strip?

pat.

Li Zhen watched in despair as the fish that was said to be extremely noble entered the soup, and the wooden bowl in his hand fell to the ground.

The young mercenary turned his head gracefully and thanked everyone for their praise. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Although he thought he was a low-key person and should act low-key, the feeling of being sought after by others was not bad.

But is there something wrong with that bandaged man who locked his eyes with hatred?If you were seeking revenge, you shouldn't have beaten anyone like this, right?

Li Zhen sighed and sat back in front of the bonfire he raised to keep warm.

The nameless organization has never contacted Li Zhen since the last commission from the Kingdom of Rain, and several strongholds known to Li Zhen also refused to provide services to him.

This is a matter of course. Giving up the commission without authorization and sitting down to eat and chat with the person who should be eliminated is an extremely serious act of betrayal both internally and externally.

There should have been execution troops to clean out this kind of scum, but Li Zhen's relationship with the nameless organization was different.

There is no affiliation between the two parties, it is just a cooperation model in which you contribute money and I contribute effort.

The unknown organization once recruited Li Zhen to formally join, which must be a good thing with more advantages than disadvantages, but Li Zhen refused.

It is impossible to work part-time in this life.

Perhaps deep down, I still hope that one day I will be able to live a peaceful and stable life.

Not every criminal organization in the world must cause a big event and stand at the pinnacle of evil.The nameless organization that completely pursues secrecy has been quietly making a fortune, and has no intention of exposing what it is doing. Even the death of Kazekage is still unknown to the outside world, and it is still reported as missing.

It is not difficult for the nameless organization to crush Li Zhen, a living bug, but it is not in the interests of the organization to crush him.

This simple cooperation model of each taking what he needs is not exclusive to Li Zhen. In fact, informal members like Li Zhen can do whatever they want. Even if they give up the commission, they will no longer cooperate with you for the rest of their lives "depending on the situation." .

Fortunately, the nameless organization judged that Li Zhen was "harmless" based on the situation, so there was no need to deal with him secretly.

He has little retention value, is indifferent to the organization's affairs, and is a ruthless delegation machine.

Thanks to this, Li Zhen, who lost his job, could only do odd jobs. Although he didn't really want to take action against the people of Konoha... However, Iwagakure Village gave too much.

Frontal battles between ninjas are very rare, especially when it involves life and death between great powers, and there is no room for avoidance.Many young people who performed well in individual battles and team battles stepped onto the battlefield for the first time, and were frightened by the murderous aura that seemed to penetrate their pores from all directions. They were shot all over the place, consuming useless energy. The most common one was being hit by stray arrows that came from nowhere, and they died inexplicably.

These have nothing to do with the mercenaries Li Zhen lives with. Even if they are paid to work for their lives, Yanyin Village does not intend to let the mercenaries go to the battlefield.This is of course not to say that Iwagakure Village has any naive compassion, but that there is a huge difference in quality among the individuals of this group of miscellaneous mercenaries, which can easily affect the performance of the regular army. Once they flee, it will cause unnecessary chaos and there are too many disadvantages. .

The combat quality of large-scale mercenary groups is even higher than that of ninjas, but it is increasingly difficult for such mercenary groups to survive in the world where ninja villages monopolize business.The remaining correct usage of this group of individuals or small teams is mostly in surprise attacks, guerrillas, etc. Just like now Li Zhen is divided into a raiding team running in the forest.

The team was led by a chuunin from Iwagakure Village. After a brief understanding of each other's basic situation and formulation of tactics, the group set out on the road, saying they were going to sneak attack a wounded area in Konoha on the front line.

Does it seem eager and childish?But in fact, the work that these mercenaries are responsible for is not that important, and it is impossible for Yanyin Village to inform and use these outsiders of important attack instructions and plans.

Therefore, this life should be quite easy?

Li Zhen followed the team at the back, thinking quite relaxedly.

Immediately afterwards, the attack team ran into a Konoha team on the opposite side.

This is something that is quite easy to encounter on the battlefield. Two hostile teams with different attack targets are fighting.In the final analysis, the chunin of Iwagakure Village led Li Zhen and the other nine people into action in such a arrogant manner. It was said that the soldiers were very fast, but in fact, they had no intention of using them as bait. This kind of thing... Li Zhen didn't care.

"Ah!"

The two sides stood still, but someone on the mercenary side couldn't help but laugh out loud. For no other reason than the people on the opposite side wearing Konoha forehead protectors were a group of brats who looked less than six or seven years old.

This is also very common on the battlefield. The war history of the ninja world has catalyzed the scene of young children going to the battlefield. Don’t underestimate these little things. Being able to appear here and wear a forehead protector means that they have passed the ninja school. Test, possess the strength of a genin.

The children in Konoha were on alert as if they were facing a formidable enemy. If you look closely, the calves of four of them were trembling. These four were not wearing ninja tools, but were carrying huge scrolls that were half their body height.

"Yeah, it's food and grass."

The chunin of Iwagakure Village said to himself that what they encountered was a grain transport unit.

Since the end of the war era and the establishment of ninja villages, all major ninja villages have tried their best to prevent young children from going to the battlefield. However, once the war started, the ninja villages still sent the children into the quagmire of death one after another.

But this does not mean that a group of crying trash will be sent to the battlefield to cause chaos for one's own side. These brats are indeed rigorously trained ninjas, genin, and have the combat power to kill people.

Times have changed after all. It is no longer the old days of throwing newborn chicks into snake nests without blood or tears. These little devils are mostly responsible for less dangerous tasks on the battlefield, and they will not even let them go when there is no need. They go to kill the enemy, just like this grain and grass transportation unit in front of them.

But usually for such an important job as transporting food and grass, the lowest chuunin would be assigned to lead a genin combat team to escort him. But now there is only a group of brats... They are hiding. No, there should be no spare time. That is to say Has Konoha reached the point where it is so short of manpower?

The chuunin of Iwagakure thought about this for a moment, and without any mercy in his heart, he sentenced these brats to death.The only thing that slightly concerned him was the clan emblem on the back of the two brats' clothes that he couldn't see clearly at a quick glance just now. It seemed to be a fan?Seems to be……

"What's wrong, brats, is the chuunin leading the team dead?"

The chunin of Iwagakure Village used a pretended contemptuous tone to test the reaction of these brats. Ninjas need to be cautious in their actions. From their reactions, the chunin of Iwagakure Village can get the information they want. After all, they are a group of people who have just broken out of their shells. He's just a young bird, everything will be written on his face.

The four Konoha genin brats carrying the scrolls of time and space were not good at fighting, so they were assigned this job. They were ordered to deliver the scrolls to their destination even if they still had a breath. After hearing this, one of them The snot-nosed kid wearing glasses couldn't help but look at the largest companion.

The kid with a slightly curled hedgehog hair style, pulled out the Kodachi sword from behind, exhaled and stood forward.

At only seven years old, he looked fearlessly at the group of tall adults opposite.

"I am the chuunin who leads the team."

Konoha's chuunin said so.

"……Aha?"

"Are you scared out of your mind? Boy, do you think we will go back to find our mother with our tails between our legs if you say this? Hahahahahahaha."

"Put down your knife and let's capture him. We don't want to kill any more people."

"How brave! I love it!"

Ignoring the cynicism from the other side, another black-haired kid stood quietly beside his companion. He was not wearing a forehead protector. It seemed that he was not even a genin?

The Konoha chuunin holding the Kodachi closed his eyes and said in a deep voice to his companions.

"Be careful, Itachi."

"Yes, Brother Zhisui."

When those eyes were opened, a pair of dark magatama appeared in the blood-red pupils.

Sharingan, open.
