Konoha: The strongest god-level choice

Only then did he grasp the key point. Although Tang Country is a small country, it is still a country after all. Why do you need to hire ninjas from other countries for even a simple investigation task?

While Hanekawa was wondering, Shizune asked the question with a serious look on his side.

"With all due respect, why would your country hire us if it was just a simple investigation?"

Sugiyama Tomoya didn't show any emotion when he heard this, and responded very calmly, "Actually, it's not that we don't want to send ninjas to investigate the matter about the Bear Ninja Village."

"But regarding the attitude of the Bear Ninja Village, we in the Country of Yu are divided into two opinions."

"The daimyo wanted to investigate the bear ninja village. However, the other officials believed that there was no basis for investigating the bear ninja village. They were afraid of the bear ninjas' retaliation, so they objected. This is why the current situation has occurred."

"Oh, by the way, this is the information from the Bear Ninja Village. Then we will wait for the good news from Tsunade-sama. There are still some things for me to deal with in Yuno Country, so I won't disturb you all."

After saying this, Sugiyama Tomoya quickly stood up and left before a few people could be polite.

"Why do I feel like...we've been tricked?"

Hanekawa picked up the information about the Bear Ninja Village and couldn't help but said.

Shizune also nodded, but Tsunade seemed to be drowsy because she drank too much just now.

...

Early the next morning, Tsunade and her party had already left Baiquan Village.

On the way, Tsunade looked puzzled and held Hanekawa's head under her arms. Unintentionally, Hanekawa felt as if his face had touched some soft...part.

"Why are you following me here again, you little brat?"

"I, I, I, I have no money, I don't even have a place to live, where will I go if I don't follow you."

Hanekawa gave a reason that even he didn't quite believe, but after hearing this, Shizune felt guilty and helped Hanekawa.

"Tsunade-sama, he is quite pitiful, and his injury has not healed yet, so let him follow first."

Tsunade, "Humph~"

"Kid, don't try to play tricks, otherwise, huh~"

Tsunade held up a pink fist and showed a menacing expression.

"No, no." Hanekawa responded quickly. After receiving this reply, Tsunade let go of Hanekawa's head.

On the way, Tsunade murmured while looking at the information given by Tomoya Sugiyama.

"The corpses of ninjas from many countries are missing and are suspected to have been stolen by the Bear Ninja Village..."

"Interesting, there are actually people who steal corpses."

Tsunade didn't pay too much attention and went to the Bear Ninja Village according to the guide map in the information.

【after an hour】

"Shasha~~~"

"do not move."

Tsunade held down the heads of Shizune and Hanekawa, and the three of them lay low on a small hill with their breaths hidden. Not far away, a group of people dressed in animal skins and dressed like bandits escorted two large carriages.

The top of the carriage was covered with withered grass and it was difficult to see what was being escorted.

"It smells of blood." Shizune said, staring at the motorcade not far ahead.

When Tsunade heard the word 'blood', her expression became slightly unnatural.

"You guys go up and have a look."

‘You’ naturally refers to Hanekawa and Shizune.

Seeing this, Shizune and Hanekawa took action together. Shizune first used the teleportation technique to reach the top of the convoy, and then quickly removed the straw covering the carriage.

As far as the eye could see, the ninjas who died in the battles of various major ninja villages were wrapped up and put into mummies with only their heads exposed and placed on the carriage.

"Who is it?" After the bandits reacted, they drew their knives one after another and surrounded Hanekawa and Shizune.

Hanekawa formed a seal with his hands, "Earth..."

"Uh, forget it, I'll leave it to you, Sister Shizune."

Shizune didn't reply. Wearing work clothes, Shizune didn't feel sloppy at all. She swept her two slender legs and knocked out the bandit who was escorting the carriage with two flying kicks.

"ah!!"

"not good!"

"Quickly retreat!"

"retreat!!"

The bandits were fleeing in all directions, Hanekawa swept his eyes and focused on the bandit who had just given the order.

"Sister Shizune, don't let him escape."

Shizune followed the direction of Hanekawa's fingers, made a hand seal with her hands, and then lowered herself to the ground with one hand.

"Earth Release: Heart Beheading Technique!"

The ground was soft, and the bandits who had not run far in the distance instantly fell into the ground.

"Help!"

Seeing this, the rest of the bandits completely ignored the call of the bandit leader.

"Don't just run away, save me!"

No matter how much the bandit shouted, no one looked back at him, just like a frightened bird.

The two ignored the fleeing bandits and walked toward the bandit leader who was unable to move.

"You...what are you going to do..."

"What's going on with all these bodies?"

Hanekawa knelt down and picked up a knife dropped by a bandit, placed it on the bandit leader's face and gently slid it.

"Yes, the leader of the Bear Ninja Village wants it. One ninja corpse can be exchanged for one thousand taels."

The bandit leader told what he knew without hesitation and did not dare to hide it at all.

"A thousand taels for one body? What does the leader of the Bear Ninja Village want these corpses for?" Hanekawa asked again.

"I don't know about this either." After saying this, the bandit leader saw the doubts on their faces and cried and howled, "I really don't know, I really don't know."

"Okay, okay!" Hanekawa interrupted the bandit leader impatiently, and then ordered: "All your men have run away. Now you pretend that we are your men and take us into the Bear Ninja Village. There is a problem.

What?"

"No problem, absolutely fucking no problem!" the bandit leader said, making him vomit and immediately agreed without even hesitating.

"Yo yo yo~~"

At this moment, another voice sounded familiar to Hanekawa.

"With so many ninja corpses, it seems we can still make a small profit."

A masked round-eyed ninja came to the carriage without paying any attention to Hanekawa and Shizune.

"You are... Kakuzu." Hanekawa looked at Kakuzu with an ugly expression.

He couldn't understand why Kakuzu came to Yuno Country again?

"Haha, you actually recognize me. If this is the case, I would like to be kind and get out of here!"

Kakuzu was attracted by the corpse of the ninja on the carriage, but then suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Haha. We meet again."

Hanekawa tried his best to remain calm, drew the sword with his left hand, endured the severe pain in his body, and attached fire attribute chakra to the blade.

Seeing Hanekawa using chakra, Shizune was about to stop her, but she saw Hanekawa interrupting Shizune with a silent gesture.

"This feeling!!"

Kakuzu turned his head sharply. When he saw Hanekawa holding a sword in one hand, his face immediately looked ugly under the mask, and his dark green eyes were almost squeezed together by frowns.

"you again!"

Hanekawa didn't say anything and sneered, raised his sword with his left hand, blinked at Shizune quickly and shouted.

"Master, see if my sword skills this time can meet your requirements."
