The Dreamer of the Naruto World

The old man was buried in the desert.

In the northwest region of the Ninja World, there are many small countries at the junction of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind. These small countries are essentially the borders of big countries, just like the River Country between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. It is a conflict isolator created by big countries to avoid wars between each other, and it is also a battleground when conflicts break out between big countries.

There are many such small countries in the Ninja World, and the Land of Demons is one of them.

Unlike other small countries, the Land of Demons has a witch who can predict the future, and also seals a monster "魍魉" comparable to the tailed beast in its territory. This is a monster created by the witch of the Land of Demons hundreds of years ago, imitating the way the Six Paths Sage created the tailed beast, using natural energy.

The witch of the Ghost Country used half of her soul as a medium, trying to control the aggregate of natural energy. But unfortunately, she used the power of the chakra seed in the process of creating the monster, so half of her soul was eroded by the will contained in the chakra seed and turned into a crazy monster "魍魉".

Realizing that her mistake had created a terrible monster, the witch finally chose to seal "魍魉". At this moment, the soul of "魍魉" is in the Ghost Country, while the body of "魍魉" was sealed in the Swamp Country by the ancient witch. This practice of separating the soul and the body seems to really want to cut off the possibility of "魍魉" resurrecting.

Of course, the truth is definitely not that simple.

As a small country living in the shadow of a big country, it is nonsense to say that the Ghost Country has no independent ideas. In fact, the reason why the witch of the Ghost Country created "魍魉" hundreds of years ago was to protect the Ghost Country from the invasion of the big country. The current situation proves that the ancient witch's plan was successful.

Because of the existence of "魍魉", both the Wind Country and the Earth Country are wary of the Ghost Country. They are worried that the Ghost Country witch will release the seal of "魍魉" and damage the interests of both countries. Therefore, whether it is the Warring States Period or the three recent Ninja World Wars, the Ghost Country has avoided the invasion of war and has become one of the few small countries in the Ninja World that has maintained peace for a long time.

It is also for this reason that the witch has a very high status in the Ghost Country. The Ghost Country's guarding power for the witch is even above the daimyo, and the witches of all generations have been respected by the citizens of the Ghost Country. The civilians of the Ghost Country who enjoy peace are sincerely grateful for the protection of the witch, and many citizens are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the witch.

Of course, since the witch is respected by the Ghost Country, she has naturally become a thorn in the eyes of some people. The reason why Scorpion knows so much about the history of the Demon Country Shrine Maiden is naturally because the Sand Village covets the power of the demons. Among the major forces in the ninja world, the Sand Village is not the only one that covets the power of the demons.

In fact, in the underground trading market of the ninja world, the bounty for the Demon Country Shrine Maiden exceeds 100 million taels, which is nearly three times that of Asuma. Although the bounty is very high and requires the capture of the Demon Country Shrine Maiden alive. But there are only a few forces in the ninja world that can offer such a high bounty.

At this time, Shokuhou Misaki's disguised identity is the rebel ninja "Misaka Mikoto" of the Mist Village. Since she is a rebel ninja, she should naturally do something that is in line with her identity. So on the way to the Demon Country, she first walked into the underground gold exchange of the Fire Country and asked the staff inside for a bounty list.

While flipping through the bounty list in her hand, Shokuhou Misaki wondered if she could find a few interesting targets in it and make a name for herself in her rebellious ninja career. After all, if she remained unknown, "Misaka Mikoto" would not be able to make a name for herself in the ninja world and join the Akatsuki organization.

You don't know until you flip through it, and you'll be shocked when you flip through it.

On this thick bounty list, in addition to Asuma, whose current bounty is only 23 million taels, there is also the Konoha Root leader Hatake Kakashi, whose bounty is as high as 60 million taels. Of course, the bounties of these elite jonins are still relatively small. For Kage-level powerhouses like Tsunade and Jiraiya, the bounties have basically exceeded 100 million taels.

Even among them, Shokuhou Misaki saw her own name.

Shokuhou Misaki: The Konoha jonin who killed the Fourth Mizukage is very likely to become the Fifth Hokage.

Bounty: 150 million taels!

Not bad, my bounty is quite high! After conversion, there are 4.28 Asumas!

No, the current bounty for Asuma is only 23 million taels. So my bounty should actually be 6.52 Asumas!

Looking at the list

, Shokuhou Misaki nodded with satisfaction. Then the staff of the gold exchange next to her reminded:

"This guest, you don't need to pay too much attention to the targets with bounties exceeding 50 million taels."

"Why?" Shokuhou Misaki asked puzzledly:

"Do you doubt my strength and think I can't deal with these bounty-bearing ninjas?"

"It's not that I doubt the guest's strength." The staff shook his head and said:

"The actual reason is that the bounties exceeding 50 million taels are basically false bids by major ninja villages. Those major ninja villages just want to use this bounty method to guide the guests to eliminate the ninjas of their hostile ninja villages. For example, the 'Shokuhou Misaki' you see now, the person who bounty her is the ninja of the Hidden Mist Village. But in fact, the internal Kirigakure is in a mess now, and it is impossible to come up with 150 million taels."

"That means even if I kill Shokuhou Misaki, I can't get the bounty?" Shokuhou Misaki said with some dissatisfaction:

"Then you Isn't this bounty list a scam?"

"It's not that we intentionally deceive, but we can't afford to offend the ninjas who offer these bounties!"

The staff member said helplessly:

"Our underground gold exchange is, after all, the border between black and white. It is essentially just a trading platform. Ninja villages and daimyo place bounty missions at our gold exchange, and the rebel ninjas wandering in the ninja world perform missions through our platform and earn bounties."

"Our existence is the result of a compromise between various forces in the ninja world. So if the five major ninja villages want to place bounty missions at our gold exchange, we can't refuse at all, even if these ninja villages don't even want to pay a deposit. What we can do is to remind our guests not to lose their lives for meaningless missions."

In fact, according to common sense, the staff of this gold exchange would at most remind Shokuhou Misaki not to pay attention to the list of bounties exceeding 50 million taels. As for the specific reasons, these staff members are not interested in patiently explaining. The reason why this staff member said so much in front of Shokuhou Misaki was that it was the result of Shokuhou Misaki's intentional guidance.

After hearing the whole story from the staff member, Shokuhou Misaki sighed helplessly:

It's not easy to be a traitorous ninja! Who would have thought that the bounty amount could be faked.

Flipping through the list in front of her, Shokuhou Misaki asked:

"Are there no reliable bounties in such a thick list?"

"Targets below 50 million taels are basically more reliable. But I still have to remind the guests not to easily go against the ninjas of the five major ninja villages. Otherwise, even if you get the bounty, you may not live to spend it."

"What about targets above 50 million taels?" Shokuhou Misaki said.

"Basically, they are all false bounties. Those employers who post tasks prefer to kill the clients directly rather than pay bounties."

The staff member said this, and then thought:

"However, if the employer who posts the bounty is not from the five major ninja villages, but is simply a wealthy man or a businessman, such a bounty may still be rewarded. However, due to the principle of confidentiality of employer information, I cannot disclose which employers of tasks are not from the five major ninja villages. So I'm sorry, customer, you should choose your target from less than 5,000 taels!"

This staff member was hypnotized by Shokuhou Misaki unknowingly, and his words were already somewhat inconsistent at this time. After all, according to the principle of confidentiality, he should not tell Shokuhou Misaki that the high bounty targets of the gold exchange office are mostly false bounties from the five major ninja villages. The reason why he emphasized this point at this moment was just that his inner vigilance subconsciously reminded him.

However, this vigilance is not worth mentioning in front of Shokuhou Misaki's ability. Shokuhou Misaki just smiled slightly, and the staff member obediently marked the targets on the bounty list who were worth more than 50 million taels and who might be paid a bounty. Among these targets, Shokuhou Misaki saw Miroku, the contemporary priestess of the Land of Demons, at a glance.

"The bounty for the priestess of the Land of Demons is actually over 100 million taels? Is that true?"

"In fact, according to the market, the bounty for the priestess of the Land of Demons is only 60 million taels at most. But because this bounty mission requires the target to be captured alive and sent to the relevant place in person. Compared to assassination, the difficulty of capturing alive is naturally higher, so the bounty will be increased to 100 million taels."

The staff member answered honestly:

"The person who issued this mission is Victor, a big businessman in the Land of Valley. He has accumulated a huge fortune by relying on medical equipment and is not short of money. So when the mission was issued, the full amount of 100 million taels was handed over to our gold exchange. As long as the customer

If you can meet his requirements, capture the shrine maiden of the Demon Country alive and hand her over to him, you can receive a bounty of 100 million taels from us. "

Victor? This name sounds familiar. Is he a character who appeared in the original work?

"Since the issuer of the bounty has handed over the bounty of 100 million taels to the gold exchange office, why don't you find a way to find someone to complete this task? I think with your connections in the gold exchange office, you can find a few powerful rebel ninjas and kidnap the shrine maiden of the Demon Country! When the task is completed through cooperation, you can share the bounty of 100 million taels!"

Faced with Shokuhou Misaki's question, the hypnotized staff member said honestly.

"In fact, our organization has been looking for rebel ninjas to do this, but because Mr. Kakuzu, who has been cooperating with us for a long time, has recently chosen to fade out of this circle, we have always been short of manpower. It can only be said that there are too few excellent rebel ninjas in the current ninja world! Especially those who are honest, trustworthy, and powerful like Mr. Kakuzu. "

It can be seen that Kakuzu has a good reputation in this circle. So much so that the hypnotized staff member would subconsciously address Kakuzu as "Lord Kakuzu" when talking about Kakuzu. "

Thinking this way, Shokuhou Misaki turned to hypnotize the person in front of her more deeply, making the staff member feel that the Mist Hidden Ninja "Misaka Mikoto" played by Shokuhou Misaki is the right person to replace Kakuzu. Although the staff member only met "Misaka Mikoto" today, he felt that "Misaka Mikoto" was very reliable, both capable and honest.

Seeing that everything was ready, Shokuhou Misaki unravelled the hypnosis of the staff member. And everything was just as Shokuhou Misaki expected. Although it was their first meeting, the staff member said to Shokuhou Misaki attentively:

"Isn't this Lord Misaka! We have a very profitable task here. Are you interested? "

Then the staff member told Shokuhou Misaki the details of the mission of the Demon Country Shrine Maiden:

"According to the latest intelligence, the Demon Country Shrine Maiden Miroku has a premonition that her death is approaching, and is preparing to pass her position as Shrine Maiden to her daughter Shion in a month. The Shrine Maiden's inheritance ceremony is undoubtedly the most lax moment in the defense of the Demon Country. So we have found several outstanding ninjas to complete this 100 million tael bounty mission together."

"Misaka-sama, you are also an outstanding ninja recognized by our Gold Exchange. Are you interested in participating in our mission? You know, this is a mission of 100 million taels. Even if three people share it equally, each person can get at least 30 million taels! ”

Shokuhou Misaki was originally planning to approach the witch of the Land of Demons as a rebel ninja. Now that the exchange office has a similar mission, she is naturally willing to take a ride. So she naturally agreed to the staff's request, and on the afternoon of the next day, under the guidance of the staff, she found the partner of this mission. What Shokuhou Misaki didn't expect was that the identity of her partner this time actually overlapped with her disguised identity.

"It's a coincidence! The three people present are all ninjas from Kirigakure!"

The staff of the exchange office looked at the same style of forehead protectors on the foreheads of the three people in front of him and chuckled.

And Shokuhou Misaki looked at the two people opposite and smiled:

"I didn't expect to see two senior ninjas of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen here. The driver of the beheading sword, Biwa Juzo-senpai. And the driver of the thunder sword, Kuro-ho Raiga-senpai. It's really fate!"

"Fate? "Biwa Juzo was wearing the robe of the Akatsuki organization, and there was only a sneer on his face wrapped in bandages:

"Compared to fate, I would rather say this is a kind of sadness!"

"Yes!" Kuroki Raiga, who was also bandaged, showed a mouthful of sharp teeth and gave a strange smile:

"There are only five major ninja villages in the ninja world, and the number of rebel ninjas in our Kirigakure is more than any other ninja village. Even if the other ninja villages are added together, they may not be more than the rebel ninjas in our Kirigakure! So much so that in the basement of this gold exchange, three rebel ninjas from the Kirigakure Village can be gathered at once... Hehehe, is there any ninja village as ridiculous as Kirigakure in this ninja world?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this, Raiga." Biwa Juzo stopped Kuroki Raiga's sigh and said to Shokuhou Misaki in front of him:

"Kid, what's your name, and why did you leave the village? "

"My name is Misaka Mikoto, and I left the village because of a failed mission." Shokuhou Misaki said.

"The mission failed?" After hearing Shokuhou Misaki's answer, Biwa Juzo did not continue to ask, but sighed:

"What a coincidence, the reason we left the village is the same. We both didn't want to return to the village to accept the mission after the mission failed.

punishment, so he simply chose to wander in the ninja world. After all, everyone knows that the Fourth Mizukage is a lunatic, and it is better to defect than to face him! But who could have thought that such a terrible lunatic like him would actually die, and die so miserably! "

"I think he deserves it!" Kurochi Raiga sneered:

"He was so arrogant before he succeeded to the throne, and he was even more arrogant after he succeeded to the throne. People who don't know him would think he was so great! Who would have thought that he was actually calculated by a teenage kid in Konoha, and the dignified Mizukage was killed in public. Then he was dragged by the other party to parade his body and burn it, and finally his body was gone. Haha, I didn't even have a chance to bury him! "

Obviously, neither Biwa Juzo nor Kuroki Raiga had a good impression of Yagura. If it weren't for Yagura's tyranny, they wouldn't have chosen to become rebel ninjas. After all, judging from the original animation, the personalities of these two people are still very good among ninjas. If they were not forced, these two people should be the backbone of Kirigakure.

"By the way, there are some things I haven't figured out yet." Kuroki Raiga looked at the Akatsuki robe on Biwa Juzo and said:

"What are you wearing, man? Did you join that Akatsuki Village? And where is your beheading sword? Why did I hear that the beheading sword is now in the hands of Zabuza? Did you actually lose to Zabuza in the duel?"

"It's not the Akatsuki Village, but the Akatsuki Organization! "Biwa Juzo sighed:

"The days of rebel ninjas are not easy, so I joined this mysterious organization in the Land of Rain and began to perform various tasks under the protection of this organization. I didn't expect that when I was performing intelligence gathering tasks in the Land of Water, I actually met that guy Yagura. Although I escaped from his hands in the end, the beheading sword was lost. "

"So now I am no longer a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!"

"It is for this reason that I have also been marginalized in the Akatsuki organization. Now, in addition to doing some intelligence gathering tasks, I also perform some bounty tasks in the gold exchange office to collect funds for the organization. And even this little role will be replaced by Kakuzu. After all, Kakuzu's business is getting bigger and bigger now, and he has gradually looked down on this small business of tens of millions of taels!"

"Tens of millions of taels, still a small business?" Kuroho Raiga said in surprise:

"Is this Akatsuki organization developing so well now?"

"Yes! "Biwa Juzo nodded, and then said to Kuroki Raiga:

"Why, are you interested in joining this organization?"

"To be honest, the leader of this organization is pretty good. Last time, I failed the mission because of Yagura, and he didn't make it difficult for me. In short, this is a person worth following. The only disadvantage is that there are a lot of secrets within the organization. Of course, if you don't care, you can just eat and wait for death in this organization like me, provided that the tasks assigned by the organization are completed with all your heart."

"Is that so? It sounds great!" Kuroki Raiga was obviously a little moved, and then looked at Shokuhou Misaki and said:

"Hey, kid, what about you? Are you interested?"

"Of course." Shokuhou Misaki said as a matter of course:

"I didn't want to be a rebel ninja in the first place. It would be great to be able to join an organization with two seniors from the Hidden Mist Village in the organization! And now that the Akatsuki organization has been incorporated into the Akatsuki Village, it can be considered a formal organization. If you can have a legitimate identity, who would want to be a traitor!"

"That's right, who would want to be a traitor!" Kurochu Raiga sighed and said:

"After completing the mission in the Land of Demons, each of us three will have a bounty of 30 million taels, and we will go to join the Akatsuki organization together. At that time, Misaka Mikoto, right? As a senior, I will take good care of you. At least if you die one day, I will dig a beautiful grave for you!"

Seeing that both of them are interested in joining the Akatsuki organization, Biwa Juzo was relieved and reminded:

"Let me say in advance that the Akatsuki organization has very high requirements for the strength of ninjas. Formal members basically have to have the strength of elite jonin. If you don't have the corresponding strength, even with my introduction, you can only do odd jobs on the periphery. "

As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure, Kuroho Raiga naturally has the strength of an elite jonin. So what Biwa Juzo said was more of a reminder to Misaka Mikoto. It's not easy for a teenage girl like you to join the Akatsuki organization. At least, you have to think about whether you have the strength of an elite jonin!

After confirming that they would join the Akatsuki organization after the mission was completed, the three of them focused their attention on this mission.

"Ghost

Is she a shrine maiden from the Land of Demons? How strong is she? As a shrine maiden, she should be able to use chakra to perform special ninjutsu, right? "Kuroho Raiga asked, and Biwa Juzo said: "I heard that the shrine maidens of the Land of Demons of all generations have the ability to predict the future, and as they age, their ability to predict the future will continue to grow stronger. But what's interesting is that the shrine maidens of all generations basically do not live beyond 40 years old. And the stronger the shrine maiden's ability, the shorter her life span. For example, this Miroku, who just turned 30 this year, has already foreseen her own death." "So, this shrine maiden's ability should be very strong!" Kuroho Raiga said with a headache: "Damn it, let alone other abilities, just the ability to predict the future is already tricky enough! Because with this ability alone, the shrine maidens of the Land of Demons are invincible!" "Yes! "Biwa Juzo nodded and said:

"So my idea is to target the daughter of the Demon Country shrine maiden, that is, the next generation of shrine maidens. Compared to her mother, this little girl named Shion is only 9 years old this year. Even if she has certain abilities, she is not very strong. Anyway, the target of our mission is the shrine maiden of the Demon Country, and it is not said that this shrine maiden must be Miroku as the mother!"

Regardless of Shokuhou Misaki, Biwa Juzo and Kuroku Raiga just communicated on their own. Obviously, the two seniors did not take "Misaka Mikoto" as a junior seriously at all.
