Konoha: Archers of the Hyuga family

Gugu~

The sound came from Kakashi's belly.

Yes, he didn't eat anything at noon, but he couldn't let go of the restraint brought by that mask... Originally Hinata Kumikawa had planned to take a look at her beauty, but this kid was so stubborn.

The young Kakashi's face didn't change, and if it did, it couldn't be seen because of the mask.

"I'm going to ask other people in town. Maybe someone has seen the cat."

Sarutobi nodded in agreement.

"Xing, you and Kakashi go together to collect intelligence. Kumokawa and I will team up. We will conduct a blanket search of the town. Move quickly, otherwise we will all stay here tonight."

"clear."

"Okay, let's start."

……

Using white eyes to find a cat is, in a sense, overkill.

But the difficulty is not low, it is much more difficult than finding someone.

Because... this town covers an area of ​​almost [-] square kilometers, with tens of thousands of households, various hotels and restaurants... and even a cat cafe, but Hinata Kumikawa only has one unclear photo.

"Is this this one?"

The mayor's warrior shook his head, "The dark hair under the left eye is almost there, it shouldn't be this one..."

Hinata Kumokawa closed his Byakugan and began to restore chakra.

At this time, the sun has returned home from work and the moon has come to work. During this period, a total of 27 Ragdoll cats with similar appearances were found. Half of them were employees of cat cafes. Most of the remaining cats had owners. Only two or three stray cats were identified and did not meet the requirements. .

The entire residential area and trading area were searched, and then there were only two places: the port and the warehouse.

There were no residents nearby, and few people sailed out at night, so the entire port was deserted at night.

Moreover, the port is far away from the mayor's mansion. It stands to reason that a pet cat cannot run that far. Moreover, there are many workers coming and going during the day, and it is very noisy. It is not a place for a timid pet cat to stay.

Hinata Kumokawa was already prepared to make this trip in vain.

"Ok?"

"Have you found anything?"

"...Is it really just a cat we are looking for?"

Hinata Kumokawa turned to look at the samurai following the two of them.

"of course."

The samurai answered in the affirmative.

Hinata Kumokawa closed his eyes and looked at Sarutobi Ryuu.

"On that cargo ship, there were five ninjas. There was a girl locked in the cargo hold at the bottom. The cat was in the girl's arms. The pattern was exactly the same as the photo."

It was obviously a kidnapping, and the cat was probably a gift taken from the girl when she was kidnapped.

According to the task classification regulations, D-level tasks are non-dangerous but tedious daily tasks, and the commissions are mostly between 500 taels and 1 taels, with no upper limit.

If a battle may occur in the mission and the enemy is not a ninja, the starting level is C. If the opponent is a ninja, the mission level will be upgraded to B. The minimum commission will be increased to 5 taels. When the opponent has more than ten ninjas or there are senior ninjas (referring to chunin) above), the task is upgraded to Level A.

In the current mission, if the cat on the ship is the mission target, there is a high probability that a battle will occur during the mission, so the mission is at least B-level.

If the employer originally knew the situation and the task description was inconsistent with reality, the ninja who performed the task according to the regulations could immediately leave the task, and the village would ask the employer for a certain amount of compensation to make up for the time wasted by the ninja who took the task... …

Sarutobi Ryuichi naturally knew what Hinata Kumikawa meant.

"This mission is over. Please tell your employer that after the mission is adjusted and re-released, the village will send a suitable ninja team to handle it. We no longer have the ability to handle this mission."

"Is this how you ninjas handle missions?"

The warrior was instantly angered, and veins popped out on his forehead.

It seems like he knows the truth...

Hinata Kumokawa ignored him, closed his eyes, patted his butt, and prepared to find a place to have dinner. After lunch, he ran all the way here, hurried all afternoon, drank a few sips of water when he got there, and started looking for the cat. It was now midnight All...

Although I didn’t get the first pot of gold.

But it's not like leaving empty-handed. Huitou Village will at least give you a few hundred taels of compensation, enough for two good meals.

As for the samurai next to him...

As we all know, samurai are the servants of rich people.

He was understandably angry at the two for abandoning their mission so easily out of loyalty.

But the relationship between a ninja and his master is just an employment relationship, not even an employment relationship like between you and your boss. The status of both parties is completely equal. How could they risk their lives for a rich man they just met three hours ago...

Sarutobi Ryuichi also automatically ignored the existence of the samurai.

"Kumokawa, find Kakashi and the others, we will return to the village immediately."

"...Teacher, how about we find a place to eat first?"

Hinata Kumokawa rolled his eyes and waited for his chakra to recover.

TNND, use your Byakugan as a flashlight, right? Turn it on when you want, turn it off when you want. A seven-year-old kid has only a little more chakra. Turning on full power like this continuously for 10 minutes is the limit. Find someone now. I have to see it myself...

ah~

Teacher Long Yi, what do I need from you?

……

……

"There is no information, and there are so many cats, how should I find them~"

Yuan PingXing complained while holding an octopus ball in his mouth.

Kakashi and the two of them walked around several nearby streets and found a lot of ragdoll cats, but none like the ones in the photos were found, and most of them had owners.

In the end, no information about the cat was obtained.

I have heard a lot of intelligence from people... It refers to some residents in the town complaining about the mayor, saying that he owns a fleet of ships and uses his position to collect "entry tax" from other caravans. He is also stingy and unworthy. They say they never pluck a dime from an iron rooster and often deduct wages from workers.

It was completely different from Yuanping Yu’s first impression.

Of course, it has nothing to do with how their employer behaves. Ninjas work with money and have no personal emotions...

So, the two of them walked around the prosperous area of ​​the town. They passed by a food street for a late lunch when they set out, and had a late night snack when they came back.

It seems that the shops on the snack street are about to close and have become deserted...

"Ouch!"

When passing by a gambling house, someone suddenly jumped out and fell to the ground, almost hitting Yuanping Yuki.

"If you still don't pay the money next month, don't blame me for selling you to the Kingdom of Water as a coolie!" The man stood at the door and said two harsh words. He glanced at Kakashi and Harahira Yuki, and returned to the gambling house with a snort. Inside.

The man who was thrown out grabbed his waist and got up, ready to get out.

Suddenly, Kakashi flew up and hit the man's knee with his foot. His knees softened and he immediately fell to his knees. When he was holding his hands on the ground to prevent him from grabbing the ground with his head, Kakashi stepped on the back of his hand again.

Yuan Pingxing was shocked.

"Kakashi, what are you doing?"

Kakashi replied, locking eyes with the man.

"Take out your wallet!"

"You...are ninjas hired by the mayor!?"
