Ninja World: I’m Not a Human Being!
22. Suspicious client
Mission Post.
"Master Yuan."
As soon as Terumi Mei came here, he found the old man in charge of the task release, and greeted him warmly.
"Oh, it's Terumi Mei, I haven't seen you for a few days."
The teacher named Master Yuan laughed and waved at her kindly, and was very fond of this junior.
The ghost shark stood behind Terumi Mei and looked at the Yuan Shi calmly.
It was an old man of seventy, with bald hair and sparse teeth, wearing a monk-like brown robe and leaning on a snake-shaped wooden staff.
However, it is such a seemingly ordinary old man, but he has almost the same power and status as the three generations of water shadows. All important matters in the village must be consulted by the Yuan Shi.
That's because, in Kiriyin Village, Mizukage is usually the strongest ninja in the village. In addition, the villagers will regard the oldest person in the past as an elder, who is responsible for all the government affairs of the village.
Although the ninja world has been peaceful in recent years, the country of water has been in civil strife for a long time. Coupled with the blood fog policy implemented by the three generations of water shadows, the average lifespan of Kirigaze ninjas does not exceed 30 years old.
Longevity is extremely rare.
Master Yuan, the old man who was born in the Warring States Period and accompanied Wuyin Village through decades of ups and downs, can be said to be the best elder choice, and has always been admired by countless villagers.
"Master Yuan, this is Yu Yuli and I's new teammate-Dried Persimmon Ghost Shark. He is an excellent ninja worthy of trust, and a kind and warm person at heart."
Terumi Mei introduced the ghost shark to Master Yuan, hoping that the ghost shark could leave a good impression in front of the old man.
The ghost shark bowed to Master Yuan and paid tribute to the elder.
After a simple greeting, let's get to the point.
"Let me see what's suitable for your mission."
After Terumi Mei explained his intentions, Master Yuan took out a thick stack of documents and put on his reading glasses to look over it.
When Ringo Yuli saw this, he said eagerly: "Elder, I want to perform high-level B-level tasks this time. Those low-level tasks are too boring and the pay is low."
"B-level tasks require at least two Chunin or one Shangnin in the team to undertake. If I remember correctly, you should all go down."
Master Yuan smiled and looked at Yu Yuri.
"Yuri, don't embarrass Master Yuan, we just need to perform C-level tasks as before," Terumi Mei said.
The ghost shark did not speak.
In Kiriyin Village, the tasks are not divided according to the ability of the ninja, but according to the identity.
The two search and suppression operations that Ghost Shark had participated in before, although they were not the main force in the team, had reached the B level in difficulty.
However, unlike the inferior people like Oni Shark, Terumi Mei and Ringo Yuri are both children of a big family, so it is naturally impossible for them to take risks in the village.
Speaking of which, after the ghost shark joined this team, it was considered to be the light of the two of them, and there was no need to perform those dangerous tasks.
"Let's go to Snow Village."
At this time, Master Yuan raised his head from the pile of documents and instructed the three of them according to Mei Ming.
Snow Village is a village in the country of water that snows all the year round. The scenery is very beautiful. Master Yuan went to that village when he was young and knew the old village chief there, but I heard that the latter passed away unfortunately some time ago.
A few days ago, Sakura Xue, the granddaughter of the old village chief, led a small caravan from Snow Village to Wuyin to sell souvenirs and buy daily necessities.
Now that the heavy snow is about to close the mountain, considering that on the way back, he may encounter hungry beasts going down the mountain to find food, Sakura Xue came to the Water Shadow Building and issued a commission to escort the caravan.
"This mission is not too dangerous. You just need to deal with the wild beasts in the mountains and escort the villagers back to the Snow Village safely."
After Master Yuan said a few words,
He handed over the mandate to Terumi Mei.
"Well, then we'll set off immediately."
Terumi Mei took the power of attorney, bowed to Master Yuan again, and then turned and left with her two teammates.
After half an hour.
The three met their clients outside the village—the villagers of Snow Village.
In the crowd, the most striking was a young woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with very white skin, pure and sweet appearance, and a very infectious smile when she smiled.
She is the granddaughter of the late old village head of Snow Village, Sakura Snow.
"Excuse me, may I ask... is there a mistake?"
When Sakurayuki saw Terumi Mei and Ringo Yuri, she was surprised at first, and then asked cautiously.
She couldn't believe that the ninja sent by Kirikin turned out to be two girls.
Terumi Mei will not say, at most eleven or twelve years old, Yuuri looks younger, obviously a child.
"Hey, don't underestimate people, okay? I've completed more than 20 C-level missions!"
Yu Yuli snorted dissatisfiedly and showed his resume, but did not dispel the other party's worries.
It wasn't until they saw the belated ghost shark that Sakura Xue and the villagers felt a little relieved.
Although the ghost shark is only 12 years old, but with a height of close to 1.9 meters and a burly body like a mountain, it still gives people a sense of security.
"Before leaving, as usual, I have a few questions to ask, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."
The ghost shark looked at Sakura Xue and the others, and suddenly said.
"Excuse me, when you issued the escort 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 went on 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.
