ninja bandits

After running at high speed for more than ten minutes and finding that no enemy was clinging to him, Kaguya breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be safe for the time being..."

'Pfft! '

A muffled sound of a sharp blade entering the body suddenly sounded from Kaguya Hugh's back, ruthlessly interrupting his words.

Feeling the sharp pain in my back, I recalled the scenes of spending time with each other during this period.

Kaguya tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of confusion: "Why?"

Let go of the kunai, take the initiative to get off Kaguya Hugh's back, and support the opponent's shaky body.

Nanako leaned into Kaguya Kyū's ear and whispered softly: "Because from the beginning, the 'me' that Kyū knew did not exist."

He turned around and stared at his good teammate who stabbed him in the back.

With his vision blurred, Kaguya suddenly realized.

The gentle face of the other party gradually overlapped with that of the blond, round-faced woman in the original novel who wore round glasses and was known as the 'Walking Miko'.

'Is that so? '

The moment when he understood the identity of the other party, it was also the moment when Kaguya completely lost consciousness.

After a while, the ANBU wearing a cat-face mask jumped and landed next to Nanako. When he saw the motionless young man lying on the ground next to him, he frowned and said, "Why don't you get rid of the body?"

Nanako explained without looking back: "There is no time, Kirigakure's support will be here soon."

"Okay." Although the cat-face mask still had doubts in his heart, he didn't have time to study it carefully after hearing the other party's explanation. He mentioned Nanako and began to evacuate according to the established route.

After a few minutes.

The fingers of the 'corpse' lying on the ground suddenly twitched, and the life breath in the body that was close to nothing suddenly surged, returning to the level of a normal person.

"Ahem..." Coughing out the blood stuck in his throat, Kaguya endured the pain in his chest and back and struggled to push himself up from the ground.

"Hiss~ It hurts me so much."

Pulling out the kunai stuck in her back, Kaguya gasped in pain and groaned.

While mobilizing life energy to repair the wounds on the internal organs and back, it suppresses the healing speed of other wounds on the body surface.

Kaguya turned over and collapsed on the ground, staring at the kunai in his hand that was stained red with his own blood, frowning and said: "Did you deliberately spare my life, or?"

After losing consciousness, he was not without the ability to fight back, but the extremely costly technique was not triggered.

This shows that after he lost consciousness, the opponent did not perform a last-ditch attack on him.

Logically speaking, these guys at the root shouldn't be so careless in doing things.

While he was thinking wildly, several ninjas wearing Kirigakure forehead protectors were approaching quickly from behind.

Seeing the young man slumped on the ground in front of him, the leading Kirigakure jounin took out a form to check his identity, turned to the men next to him and ordered: "Inform the clan leader that a survivor has been found here."

"Yes." A ninja next to him immediately took out a flare, pointed it at the sky, and pulled the switch.

Holding the hilt of the knife in his left hand, secretly on guard, the Kirigakure jounin stepped in front of the young man and asked in a deep voice: "What happened in this mission?"

There is no desire to explain, and no intention to reveal Nanako's true identity.

Kaguya said concisely and concisely: "I was ambushed. I will write a mission report and submit the specific situation."

He will return this knife personally!

Sensing that something was wrong with the other party's mood, the Kirigakure jounin did not press forcibly, but said coldly: "Okay, please hand over the weapons and detonating talismans you have on you, and come back to the camp with us."

"it is good."

After handing all the belongings on his body to the other party, Kaguya Xiu turned his head slightly and looked towards the horizon.

That was the direction of Konoha.

"Thank you for teaching me this lesson."

………………

Pulling his thoughts back from his memories, Kaguya took out two porcelain bottles from his pocket.

He poured out two small pills, one black and one blue, and knelt down to feed the flagbearer Reio, who was in a coma.

One of them is the antidote to the poison applied to Jinghua Shuiyue Dao's body.

The other one is a poison similar in effect to 'Shixiang Ruanjin Powder'.

As soon as the drug takes effect, the poisoned person's muscles and bones will become weak and the body will be unable to extract chakra from the cells.

He didn't want a 'commoner' like Flag Bearer Reio to die here.

Otherwise, even if it is later proven that the other party is a spy sent by Konoha, he will get into a lot of trouble.

In addition, there were regulations during the Second Generation Mizukage period.

For every spy from another village who is reported or subdued, a reward of 50 taels can be obtained.

This is equivalent to half a year's funding for an orphanage!

It's impossible for Kaguya to not want it.

Go to the locker next to it, take out a seal scroll and open it.

Kaguya pressed her right palm lightly on it, and a wooden box half a person's height appeared in the room.

Move the wooden box to the corner, throw the flag bearer Reio in, and close the lid.

After taking a look at the blood marks on the ground, Kaguya Xiu quickly began to form seals with his palms.

Use water escape to remove the blood stains on the ground, then use wind escape to dry the ground and ventilate the room.

'Knock-knock-knock——'

After handling the scene, Kaguya was about to return to his seat and call the next applicant in, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Sensing the familiar breath outside the door, Kaguya temporarily lifted the soundproof barrier and said, "Miyin? Come in."

Entering the room, Miyin quickly came to the desk and placed the information in his hand in front of Kaguya Xiu: "Captain, this is the background information of those three people and some information I investigated."

After leaving the orphanage, she separated into three shadow clones and went to the residences of the three applicants to visit and investigate.

The main body went straight home, and with the help of the Minazuki family, obtained the detailed background information recorded on the three people's records.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Putting flagbearer Reio's information aside, Kaguya picked up the information of the other two people and began to browse quickly.

Noticing the extra wooden box in the room, Miyin raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "This box... did the captain catch a big fish?"

"Ah."

Putting down the information he had turned to the last page, Kaguya nodded and ordered: "After the interview is over, you send him to the torture department and get the bonus back."

Immediately afterwards, he formed a seal with his hands again, creating a shadow clone: ​​"Go and call the next applicant."

After receiving the order, Kaguya Kyū's shadow clone instantly transformed into the appearance of Flagbearer Reio and pushed out the door.

………………

The last applicant was named Nakajima Imi.

The rare thing is a woman.

What's even more rare is that the other party is a graceful widow in her early thirties.

Her long black and smooth hair starts from the neck and is tied into a long braid. She is wearing a kimono with white flowers and foundation. Her pectoralis major muscles are extremely developed.

Although his appearance is far worse than that of Mi Yin, he is still superior among ordinary people.

After the other party finished his usual self-introduction, Kaguya said politely: "Miss Nakajima, logically speaking, you should not be short of money. Why did you choose to apply for this job?"
