Puppeteer in Naruto

It was late at night, and entering the mountain in the middle of the night was countless times more dangerous than during the day. The field of vision would be better during the day, but the visibility was very low at night, and Takeda did not dare to light a fire to light the way into the mountain.

If a bandit comes out to look for his companions, lighting a fire will become a guiding light and attract the bandit.Takeda was very anxious, and at the same time, he was also praying, hoping that after discovering the few people, the bandits would come out to look for them after dawn.

Getting closer and closer to the entrance to the mountain, Takeda slowed down his steps and carefully observed the surroundings. He did not see any torches. So it is very likely that the bandits did not dare to come out at night to look for their companions. It was also possible that the bandits were No torches either.

Entering the mountains, Takeda was even more careful, not daring to make any noise, and always paying attention to whether there were poisonous snakes, scorpions, or other poisonous insects around him.

It is very quiet in the mountains and forests at night, so quiet that it makes people feel nervous.Takeda regretted a little, why he ran into the mountains in the middle of the night because he was so hot-headed.If we leave the village and go to other places to avoid these bandits, wouldn't we be able to continue living?

Almost reaching the setting location of the first bear trap, Takeda exhaled a deep breath and arrived safely.Takeda knelt down and was about to pick up the bear trap on the ground, when suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"You kid, why are you out here in the mountains if you don't sleep at night?"

This voice sounded a bit like a child's. It came from behind Takeda, and Takeda broke into a cold sweat.Deep in the mountains at midnight, no matter what you encounter, it is dangerous.

Takeda slowly turned around and saw two people standing behind him, one was taller and the other was shorter. The two people stood behind him without making any sound, but he felt nothing.They had ninja forehead protectors on their foreheads. After looking at the pattern carefully, they saw that they were Konoha's ninja forehead protectors.

Takeda also let go of his nervousness somewhat, because he was not wearing a mask and was not an ANBU. If he was discovered by an ANBU on a mission, he might be killed.The mission ninja without the mask is better. I hope these two ninjas will not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

The seemingly younger ninja stared at Takeda and asked impatiently, "What do you want me to ask you? Kid, what are you doing in the mountains in the middle of the night?"

Takeda wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thought for a moment, and carefully replied to the ninja, "There are bandits in this mountain. Please speak softly. If the bandits find out, they will be killed."

"We are just here to exterminate the bandits. You haven't said what you are doing in the mountains at night?" The little ninja lowered his voice and continued to ask Takeda about the reason for going into the mountains.The little ninja was still really inexperienced, so he just revealed the purpose of the mission.

The taller ninja next to him immediately stopped the little ninja with his eyes.Afraid that he would say more things that he shouldn't have said, he turned to look at Takeda again.

Takeda thought to himself that he must not be able to tell them the real reason. A child was afraid of being killed and secretly went up the mountain at night to destroy evidence.This reason is really difficult to express.

Then the only answer is, "The bandits are sleeping at night. I went to the mountains to look for food. If I were discovered during the day, I would be killed." And he made a scared expression. This expression is serious. , really scared.

Then he looked at the older ninja and said excitedly, "Are you ninja-sama? Are you really here to destroy the bandits? Did the daimyo-sama send you here?"

The little ninja answered again, with a sense of frustration, "I was not sent here by your daimyo. How could we Konoha ninjas obey the orders of your river country daimyo? We only listen to the third generation..."

The big ninja stopped the little ninja from continuing, then looked at Takeda, and continued the little ninja's words, "We heard that there are bandits here, and we came here to help you eliminate them."

Takeda was completely relieved and said excitedly to the great ninja, "That's great, can I go with you?"

Takeda lowered his head and pretended to be sad and said, "Both my father and mother were killed by bandits, and I was kicked away by bandits." Then he pointed to his head and continued to say excitedly, "Everyone here is alive." It’s broken and it’s not healed yet.”

The great ninja shook his head and refused to Takeda, "We are going on a mission, but we can't take you with us. If we take you with us, you will be discovered by bandits, and it will be difficult for us to complete our mission." Then he turned around and looked. He made a gesture to the little ninja and disappeared in a bounding motion towards the mountain.

Takeda looked in the direction where the ninja left and exhaled. Is this considered safe?If the bandits are wiped out, I won't have to recycle these animal traps.

The two ninjas annihilating a bandit den should be a C-level mission, not too difficult, an entry-level mission.It should be easy for ninjas, and there are one big and one small. It should be the master leading the apprentice, and there will be no problem. The bandits are dead.

Want to follow along and take a look?With the innocent little ninja around, the big ninja probably won't do anything too extreme.

Takeda thought about what the little ninja said, "We only listen to the third generation." In this way, the timeline can be determined to be during the reign of the third generation of Hokage.However, the Third Hokage was the longest-ruling Hokage in history.

It's better to wait until you hear the sound of fighting before going over.If the ninja's plan is accidentally destroyed or discovered by bandits, the ninja will most likely not save people. Their first goal is to complete the mission.

Takeda waited for a long time and finally heard a cry. He could hear it very clearly in the quiet mountain forest at night.It seemed like they were at war, so it was time to go over and see the result, heading towards the direction of the shouts.

When he arrived outside the stronghold, Takeda smelled the smell of blood and didn't even open the stronghold door.Ninjas never go through the front entrance. Looking at the closed door, Takeda could only stop at the door.

Soon after, someone seemed to be opening the door, and Takeda immediately stepped back and hid in the grass nearby.

The door opened, and three bandits escaped from it, followed by a little ninja chasing them.

Takeda raised his triple pulley crossbow and fired at the bandits. He shot three times in a row and knocked over all three bandits.The little ninja immediately followed up and hit the target.

After killing the bandit, the little ninja pointed at Takeda and said, "These little toys of yours are quite useful. They saved me two steps. But the force is too light and it can't kill anyone." Then he continued. , "I didn't ask him to help, so my task score cannot be deducted."

At this time, the great ninja was elusive again. He stood behind Takeda and spoke, "No fish slipped through the net. The mission is completed. Let's go."

The little ninja nodded obediently and continued, "No points will be deducted." The big ninja nodded, smiled and answered the little ninja, "Okay, no points will be deducted." and touched the little ninja's head.

Takeda looked at the great ninja and asked with a serious expression, "Can I be a ninja?" Takeda has the blood of Senju, so he should be able to become a ninja.As long as his mother's surname is not revealed, he is a civilian ninja.Even if he is exposed, he can still seek refuge with Tsunade.

The little ninja answered for the big ninja, "You are not from the Land of Fire, nor from our village. We in Konoha don't accept outsiders now. There are too many spies. I feel like..."

The big ninja interrupted again, "Konoha doesn't accept outsiders now." Then he looked at the little ninja and continued to urge, "Let's go, let's go."

Still the same as before, the two ninjas, one big and one small, disappeared from Takeda's sight like this, and the forest also returned to calm.

The appearance of the ninja was short-lived, but it also solved Takeda's survival crisis. The bandits were wiped out and Xiaohe Village was safe.But what did the little ninja say that he didn't finish?These are things for the future.

All the bandits in the cottage were killed by the little ninja.Takeda planned to go in and search to see if there were any supplies.

After searching the entire village, except for the corpses of the bandits and some ordinary weapons, they only found some food stolen from the villagers.

Takeda didn't plan to rush back to Xiaohe Village overnight. He went into the mountain twice and was still frightened. Takeda was really tired, so he cleaned a room in the cottage without dead people and slept.

After dawn, Takeda returned to Xiaohe Village and told Katakura that all the bandits had been killed by ninjas, and there was still some food in the village that the bandits had not eaten.

"What? Are you telling the truth? Are all the bandits really dead?" Katakura opened his mouth wide and looked at Takeda in shock.

Takeda nodded firmly and said, "I couldn't sleep last night, so I went to the mountain to see if there was anything to eat. When I heard shouting, I went over to take a look and found that the ninja had killed all the bandits. I slept in the cottage and came back this morning."

"Okay, okay, okay, but don't go out at night anymore. It's not safe outside at night, so you have to stay at home. Do you understand?" Katakura said to Takeda with concern, then turned around and went out, "I'm going to go get it." Let me tell you this good news.”

Katakura was really overjoyed and wanted to go out and let all the villagers know the good news. "The bandits were all killed by the ninjas sent by the daimyo. We are safe." Katakura cheered as he ran and arrived. The center of the village.

The villagers were also attracted by the news. Katakura continued, "Takeda discovered it. Takeda, tell me how you found it."

All the villagers turned to look at Takeda. It was the first time that Takeda was watched by so many people, and he was a little nervous.He told me again about going into the mountains last night to look for food and meeting ninjas to kill bandits.Of course, he would definitely not say that he killed the bandit.

The bandits were wiped out, and many villagers cried excitedly when they thought of their murdered relatives and dilapidated houses.

Takeda was also very excited, his parents' revenge was finally avenged.But thinking that there was still a lot of food in the cottage, he shouted loudly, "There is still a lot of food in the cottage, we can go and move it back."

After Katakura heard this, he immediately gathered his men and went into the mountain together.There were quite a few villagers, and the vast crowd seemed no less numerous than the bandits. They went into the mountains together to move the remaining food in the village, and also buried all the dead bandits.

If we talk about how powerful the bandits were when they robbed villages before.So now, the villagers will not be much worse at cleaning the village.Everything in the cottage that was usable and edible was moved back to the village.

After moving like this for several days, the bandits' den was really empty.Katakura even tore down the gates of the cottage and transported them back to the village to be used as lumber.
