Chapter 72 - Capturing Missing-Nin (1/2)

”Calm down. We don't know that yet. We will stick to the original plan and see if we can go inside the village.” Mei ordered.

”No, I highly doubt that. As we went scouting, I realized Suna seems to be searching for something in the village. They weren't let anyone enter the village. At most, they surely won't let us go with these numbers.” One of Kiri scout spoke.

”Then, we will split our numbers. No matter what, we have to enter the village to know the location of the bandit hideout. I will take only 3 people with me: Ringo, Kudo, and Hajo.

The rest of you will hide in the mountain and try searching bandit base until we get back.” Mei issued another quick order.

This time, everyone agreed to Mei and split their force. 11 Kiri Shinobi immediately departed to the mountain while Mei and her 3 guards headed to the village.

Not long after they reached close near to the village, they were stopped by Suna shinobi.

”Stop! State your name and purpose to visit this village!”

”Hello, Shinobi-san. My name is Tsuko. I am a rice merchant and here to sell rice in this village. These 3 people with me are my bodyguards. I heard bandits here are quite notorious.”

Mei introduced herself and others while showing off her sėxiness. Suna shinobi were stunned by her beauty and sėxiness but still managed to wake themselves up.

”Sorry, lady. I am afraid you can not pass this area. Please go back!”

Seeing this, Ringo got angry and shouted at Suna shinobi.

”Hey, you first asked our names and purpose to here and telling us to go back instantly? If you gonna send us away, why bother asking my info, you fuc...”

Of course, Ringo has been immediately put down by the other two Kiri shinobi, and Mei quickly apologized to Suna shinobi.

”I am really sorry he is just hot-tempered. Shinobi-san, is there any way for us to enter the village? Honestly, this village is a bit isolated and far away from the next towns. We almost out of money, and this is our last batch of rice to sell.”

Mei winked at them, trying her best to persuade them to enter the village. Suna shinobi felt pity for Mei. They hesitated and decided to ask Pakura for her order.

Not long after, Pakura arrived and got the current sad and fake situation of Mei. Two beauties in one place sure made blessings in males' eyes.

Pakura raised her eyebrow in suspicions. She checked all Mei's belongings

Mei and others thought Pakura would reject them no matter what. But unexpected for them, Pakura agreed to let them enter the village.

”I got your situation. We Suna shinobi are not that cruel to ignore the weak merchant's plea. But you all can stay at most 2 days and leave the village. Also, don't interrupt our investigation, or else I have to lock you all down. Got it?” Pakura spoke to Mei.

”Ahh... Thank you very much, shinobi-san. Yes, of course, we won't stay there for more than 2 days. We will do our best not to get in your way, shinobi-san. Let's go, you guys.” Mei thanked Pakura and ordered others to follow her.

But when Ringo and her two Kiri bodyguards were about to pass, they were stopped by Suna shinobi.

”I forgot to mention, please leave the weapons here! That's the only way we can let you pass. You can fetch them back when you leave the village.” Pakura explained before Ringo fight back.

While Mei's bodyguards were okay, but Ringo wasn't. Her weapon is one of seven swords of Kirigakure, Kiba. It's one of the most precious weapons in this entire world.

”No way! This weapon is our family heirloom. I can't let it apart with me. Besides, I don't trust you all, Suna shinobi!” Ringo spoke as expected.

”Then I am afraid you can't pass,” Pakura spoke as it wasn't none of her business.

Mei quickly hinted Ringo to give up on her swords, so they can pass. If she sends Ringo back now, Pakura and Suna shinobi would be hella suspicious of them.

Seeing her superior order, Ringo had no choice but to submit her weapon to Suna shinobi and follow Mei and others to the village.

--------------

After Mei and her bodyguards are gone, Pakura gestured her face to Suna shinobi to follow Mei.

”They are a bit suspicious. Follow those people closely. They might be related to Jukan, that traitor.”

”Pakura-san, if they are suspicious, then why did you let them pass?”

”Jukan has the unique ability to hide from any sensory skills, which is why I didn't bring any sensors. Huge mistake on my part.

It is already incredibly hard to find him as he went to hiding now. If they happen to be related to Jukan, I wanted to use them to lure Jukan from hiding.”

”Ahh, as expected of Pakura-san. I will do as you say.”

(Bandit base)

I was very proud of my students to overcome the fear of killing. They have successfully managed to kill every bandit except the leader who I captured.

They still had nasty feelings, but I was sure they will get used to it soon. As a reward for their bravery, I promised them to teach one forbidden jutsu when we get back to Iwagakure.

Their tension rose up a bit after hearing my promise. Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan were all tired from battling with bandits, and the night was coming. I told them to go rest at their hiding spot.

After sending them back, it was time for torture and interrogation. I tied up the bandit leader and started questioning him. He was quite brave at first, but after experiencing some real shit pain and torture, he soon became an obedient dog.

”Alright, so did you ask Kirigakure for help?”

”Yes. Please don't kill me! I don't want to die here!!”

”Now, now, I will let you live if you answer every question. So how did you find out there was chakra metal mine in this mountain?”
