MTL - Ninja World: I’m Not a Human Being!-Chapter 18
The ghost shark looked at Sakura Xue and the others, and suddenly said.
"Excuse me, when you issued the **** task, did you apply strictly according to the specifications of the C-level task?"
"Of course."
After being stunned for a moment, Sakura quickly replied with a lovely smile. But the experienced ghost shark keenly noticed that her face was a little unnatural.
So he continued to ask:
"Do you or Snow Village have any enemies? If we are attacked by hostile ninjas on the way to escort, then this task is beyond our ability."
Hearing the ghost shark's question, a trace of panic flashed in Sakura Xue's eyes, but she quickly replied:
"We are all ordinary villagers. How could we possibly provoke ninjas? You think too much."
After speaking, he took a step back, as if he was frightened by the aggressiveness of the ghost shark.
At this time, Yu Yuli couldn't stand it any longer, and ran over to the ghost shark and said:
"Big bad guy, don't ask any more questions, even if you are attacked by ninjas, I promise to kill them all."
She heard that the snow scene in the Snow Village was very beautiful, so she wanted to take a look, for fear that the ghost shark would offend the employer and ruin the task.
Terumi Mei also stepped forward and said:
"Ghost shark, let's talk about it on the way if you have any problems. In case of an emergency, with the strength of the three of us, we must be able to deal with it. What do you think?"
She also felt that the ghost shark was too cautious and thought too much.
"You are the captain, listen to you."
The ghost shark nodded and said no more.
So, the group set off.
a few days later.
In the deep mountains in the northern part of the Land of Water, heavy snow was flying, and the cold wind was howling.
A small caravan of about ten people traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and finally reached a wood in the evening, where they temporarily settled down to avoid the wind and snow.
In the past few days, Sakura Yuki, Terumi Mei and Yuri Yuri, three girls, chatting and laughing along the way, have become very good friends.
Only the ghost shark has been wandering outside the team, spending most of the time alone.
23. Please don't come too close to me
beep.
In the camp, the flames rose, and soon they burned vigorously, driving away the cold.
Everyone sat around the campfire, took out food and bento, heated it by the temperature of the flame, and enjoyed a steaming dinner.
Not far away, the ghost shark held a ninja knife and leaned against the tree, keeping vigilance at all times to guard against possible dangers.
"Mr. Ghost Shark, come and have dinner with us."
At this time, Sakura Snow trotted all the way over and invited the ghost shark with a smile on his face.
She is very concerned about the ghost shark, because from the appearance, the ghost shark is obviously the strongest in this ninja team, and it is the biggest guarantee for the safe return of the Snow Village Caravan.
"I already ate it just now."
The ghost shark glanced at her and said calmly, "Please go back to my companions, they will protect you. Also, please don't get too close to me, I have no interest in making friends with my employer."
When Sakura Xue heard the words, she was stunned for a moment, then she stopped talking, and turned away faintly.
The ghost shark raised his head and looked at the snowy night sky.
Today is February 26, 1945, Konoha. It has been almost half a year since he came to this world.
Next month, the ghost shark will celebrate his 13th birthday.
While recalling the plot and sorting out clues in his mind, he took precautions and planned future actions.
Silent all night.
The next day, the snow stopped, and the warm winter sun shone on the earth.
Taking advantage of this good weather, the caravan set off early in the morning and climbed a large mountain.
From Wuyin's departure to the present, more than half of the journey has passed, and everyone has been very smooth along the way, and almost no accidents have been encountered.
So everyone was talking and laughing and was very relaxed.
But at this moment, the accident happened.
When the group walked halfway up the mountain, suddenly there were several loud noises above their heads.
Rumble.
Several huge rolling stones fell from the cliff above and smashed straight at the caravan.
"Be careful!" Terumi Mei hurriedly reminded, and pulled Sakura Yuki to the side.
The ghost shark lifted a villager with one hand and led them to escape the falling rocks. Then he kicked a boulder with his foot, saving the lives of the other two.
"There are enemies!"
Ringo Yuri, who was in front of the team, suddenly shouted, but she was not afraid at all, on the contrary, she was very excited.
Sure enough, two ninjas who were ambushing on the side of the road rushed out, attacked without saying a word, and threw a large number of shuriken at the crowd.
Yu Yuli picked up Kunwu and rushed up, only to hear the sound of "dangdangdang", knocked all the shuriken flying, and then launched a fierce attack on the enemy with one enemy and two.
"Ghost shark, you protect these villagers."
Terumi Mei told the ghost shark, then quickly formed the seal, summoned a water whip, and also participated in the battle.
The ghost shark obeyed Terumi Mei's instructions, and while watching out for other enemies that might appear, he glanced at Sakurayuki from the corner of his eye.
Her expression was indeed wrong, as if she expected someone to attack.
The encounter did not last long.
The two enemies who attacked the caravan were both Chunin, but for geniuses like Terumi Mei and Ringo Yuri, the mere Chunin was naturally not a strong enemy.
Snapped!
Terumi quickly seized the opportunity and whipped the enemy's weapon with a stream of water, entangling the opponent's body.
Water Escape Water Flow Whip, not only powerful, but also able to restrain the enemy, is a very comprehensive water escape advanced ninjutsu.
"Rainyuri!"
After Terumi Mei controlled the enemy, Qing snorted.
Yuuri understood it, and immediately used the thunderbolt ninjutsu, which he was good at, to transmit the dazzling electric light to the enemy along the water whip, causing him to die on the spot.
The other person saw that the situation was not good, and turned around and tried to run away.
But he didn't run a few steps away, and as Yu Yuli completed the seal again, a thunderstorm fell from the sky and hit the man directly, causing him to fall off the cliff with a scream.
Terumi Mei and Yuri Yuri looked at each other and smiled after the two enemies were dealt with cleanly.
"Amazing."
When Sakura Xue saw this scene, her eyes lit up, and she looked at the two girls with admiration.
If it were them, Yukino Village might... be saved.
She was looking forward to this in her heart, but the voice of a ghost shark came from her ear.
"Are these two ninjas coming for you? You should know that this is not the scope of a C-level mission."
His voice was cold, and he questioned Sakura again.
"I... don't know them."
Sakura Xue's face changed, subconsciously defending himself, and insisted that the other party was a bandit or an exiled ninja.
The country of water is always in civil turmoil, and there are indeed many ninjas wandering around, doing the activities of robbing families.
"It's really boring. These two enemies are too weak for me to fight. Just a little more."
Yu Yuli came over at this time and showed off, looking like he was not enjoying himself.
Terumi Mei heard the conversation between Oni and Sakura.
She stared at Sakurayuki, who gave her a look of help.
Terumi Mei finally relented, and said to the ghost shark and Yuuri:
"Although they encountered unexpected enemies, these villagers are simple and kind people. Let's send them home safely as agreed."
Although she also noticed something strange, she didn't want to give up this task easily.
After all, the deceased old village chief of Snow Village is the old ancestry of Master Yuan. Master Yuan deliberately entrusted this task to her, and Terumi Mei naturally wanted to do her best.
So, after a simple rest, everyone set off again.
On the way, Terumi Mei walked to the ghost shark and whispered to him:
"Sakura Xue may be out of pocket and can't afford the B-level task, so he released the C-level task. But even if it's a B-level task, Yu Yuri and I can do it, you don't have to worry."
"I hope so."
…
Another day passed.
"Climb another mountain and you will arrive at Snow Village. There is a steaming hot spring in our village, where you can take a beautiful bath."
Sakurayuki said to the three.
At this moment, the howling of wolves suddenly came from around.
"Ow."
A group of skinny wolves rushed down from the mountain and surrounded the group.
"Sure enough, there are beasts going down the mountain for food."
Terumi Mei looked at the wolves and flashed the water whip again. Without the **** of ninjas, these ordinary villagers in Snow Village would definitely be buried in the belly of a wolf.
After a fierce and short battle.
Most of the hungry wolves were killed or injured, and those who survived caught their tails and were driven away.
However, just when everyone finally relaxed and prepared to take a break, a sudden change occurred.
shhhhhhhh!
The rain of shuriken flew out from the woods in front of the sky and fell towards everyone.
In an instant, except for the three people in the team and Sakura Xue, who was better protected, none of the other villagers survived and fell under the shuriken rain.
And the real crisis has just arrived.
24. The Iron Duo
crunch. crunch.
A sound of footsteps stepping on the snow came from the woods.
"The two waste Chunin sent out really failed to complete the mission."
"In the end, it's still up to our two brothers to do it in person."
Under the gaze of Ghost Shark and others, the two figures sang and appeared from behind the tree.
Those were two tall men, the same height and size as a ghost shark. They have inch hair, bronze skin, and thin clothes, and they don't seem to be afraid of the cold at all.
The ghost shark noticed that although the two men did not wear forehead guards on their foreheads, the words "steel" and "iron" were tattooed on their right shoulders.
Cloud Shadow Ninja?
In an instant, he preliminarily determined the identity of the other party.
In Yunying Village, high-level ninjas usually have shoulder tattoos, such as "thunder", "gold", "silver", and "iron", which are a symbol of strength and status.
