Konoha Sheriff

Quan was attacked by a rebel ninja during his mission?

Is this an experience she has had in the original work, or is it the butterfly effect caused by her intersection, or... is the higher-ups in Konoha trying to use her as bait to lure him into taking the bait?

Countless thoughts flashed through Beichen's mind at this moment.

These thoughts all turned into one voice in the end... You have to go and see it for yourself!

If Izumi had such an experience in the original novel, then it stands to reason that she should be able to avoid danger now.

But if it was because of her appearance that Konoha's senior officials were eyeing her, wouldn't she be pushing Izumi towards her death if she didn't go?

Thinking of this, Beichen immediately stood up:

"Where did you meet the traitorous ninja?"

"It is said that it was on a barren mountain more than ten miles northwest of the village. It was originally a mission to suppress bandits. It turned out that there was a powerful Jonin hiding in the bandit's lair. We already have a team of brothers under our command. Rushing that way... Minister Beichen?"

Uchiha Satoshi didn't know Beichen and Izumi's previous acquaintance. Seeing Minister Beichen rush out without waiting for him to speak, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. After a long while, he sighed:

"Minister Beichen really cares about the safety of our clan members."

…………

On a barren mountain in the northwest of Konoha, after a root ninja wearing a colorful mask treated the injury on his hand, he angrily kneeled Izumi on the back.

In the previous action, he was responsible for controlling Quan head-on.

Originally, things were progressing smoothly, but I never expected that this little girl actually forcibly upgraded the original single Magatama Sharingan to a double Magatama Sharingan after witnessing the death of the temporary team leader and teammates, causing him to almost overturn, and his hand It also left a deep scar visible to the bone.

"Uh-huh!!!"

Quan, whose hands were cut behind his back by a rope and his mouth was stuffed with a ball of rags, looked around angrily at the masked root ninjas, feeling shocked and angry.

She didn't understand. The people around her were clearly dressed as ANBU ninjas. Why did they suddenly attack them who were also Konoha ninjas in the middle of their mission?

In addition, why did they kill their temporary teachers and teammates, kill the tribesmen who came to support, but left themselves alone... What did they want to do by keeping themselves?

When Izumi was asking a question in her heart, the root ninja took the initiative to answer her doubts:

"Remember to cooperate with us when Uchiha Beichen comes over later, otherwise..."

The cold kunai hung in front of Quan's neck, and the threat in it was self-evident.

Minister Beichen? !

Hearing Uchiha Beichen's name, Izumi's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Originally, Minister Beichen was their target... So, were they using themselves as bait?

I don't know why, but at this moment, Quan suddenly felt like he was in a state of confusion.

How should I put it? When she first heard what the other party said, she felt that those people opposite her were not normal.

Minister Beichen has so many things to do all day long. How could he abandon the affairs of the police force and come to save him just because a little girl like him, who has only met her twice, is in trouble?

But then, she unconsciously developed an ambivalent feeling of expectation and worry in her heart.

She vaguely expected that Minister Beichen would fall from the sky to save her from danger like he did at the training ground of the police force.

But then he quickly condemned himself in his heart.

If Minister Beichen really came to save him, wouldn't he be in a dangerous situation?

The root ninja who was responsible for holding Quan hostage saw that she didn't make a sound for a long time and thought that the little girl was frightened by him.

As everyone knows, Quan just fell into an unprecedented entanglement at this time.

I'm afraid that Beichen won't come, but I'm also afraid that Beichen will come randomly...

This complex ambivalence filled her whole mind, so that she didn't even notice that the figure that she was thinking about had quietly changed from Itachi to Beichen at some point.

In the midst of silence, one of the root ninjas suddenly spoke:

"coming!"

Hearing this voice, the surrounding Root Ninjas couldn't help but perk up. After looking at each other, they dispersed and concealed their own figures, waiting for Beichen to fall into the trap like a lost prey.

…………

In the past three years since time travel, Beichen has only visited the village a handful of times, but because he has been observing the map of Konoha and even the map of the entire Fire Country in the police force all year round, he is not too familiar with the roads outside the village. familiar.

Rushing along the northwest direction, the speed of a taijutsu-type jounin exploded. It would normally take more than half an hour for a chuunin and genin to reach the end of the road, but Beichen only took less than two and a half hours to reach it. Came over in minutes.

As soon as he set foot on the barren mountain, a vague smell of blood floated faintly along the breeze, causing Beichen to subconsciously slow down his pace and a solemn look appeared on his face.

I cautiously went up the mountain and saw the bodies of many bandits along the way. It seemed that Quan and others had indeed been engaged in the work of eradicating bandits.

Because he had been prepared in his heart, Beichen cautiously sensed it before reaching the top of the mountain.

He is not actually good at perception, but the insight bonus provided by Sanmagatama allows him to discover many unknown details of smiles.

"The only traces that can be found are about eight people. The actual number should be more than this..."

After making corresponding psychological preparations in his mind, Beichen put away the three magatama, put on all the eagerness, and hurried up to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, there was an artificially excavated platform. There were several corpses scattered on the ground, including four members of the police force. Quan was gagged and pinned to the ground. The middle-aged man held a kunai across Quan's neck.

"Um!"

Seeing Beichen's appearance, Quan, who was being pinned down, immediately became excited. She struggled hard, and at the same time tried her best to signal Beichen that there were people around her with her eyes.

"Be honest with me!"

The middle-aged man grabbed Quan's hair to prevent her from continuing to struggle. At the same time, he looked at Beichen fiercely and said:

"If you want her to survive, throw away all the weapons you have on you."

Contrary to the middle-aged man's expectation, Beichen did not do as he said in a panic, but said with a look of disdain:

"Have I ever told you that your kidnapper role was very unprofessional?"

What?

These nonsensical words made the middle-aged man stunned for a moment. Beichen wanted this effect. Taking advantage of the middle-aged man's daze, he suddenly activated the skills he had drawn from the system last month. ——Lava shield!

In just the blink of an eye, a red scorching shield suddenly appeared around Quan's body.
