Grass Village, Task Center.
A middle-aged woman sat at the reception and asked with a polite smile, “Sir, what task do you want to entrust us?”
Kuroto replied politely, “I want to find someone, the problem is I don’t know her whereabouts, so I am here to entrust a ninja of your village to help me find where she is.”
“Finding someone? No problem, please fill in the information of the person here.” A middle-aged woman said as she passed him a paper.
Receiving the paper, Kuroto glanced briefly at the requirements.
The information to be filled in is only the information about the person he is looking for and the amount he is willing to pay. There is no need to fill in any information about him.
Seeing these, Kuroto nodded in approval.
Grass Village is not one of the Five Great Shinobi Village. If they want to compete with other shinobi villages for task entrustment, they have to relax the task requirements. This is one of the reasons he chose Grass Village.
After filling in the information he knew about the descendants of the Queen of Roran, Kuroto pondered a little and wrote 1 million Ryo as the amount for the completion of Task.
When Kuroto passed back the paper, the middle-aged lady was taken aback by the huge amount, “One-million Ryo? Such an amount is used for A-level tasks and above, will the task involve fighting with ninjas of other shinobi villages?”
Kuroto kept his smile and said, “The person I am looking for is most likely to be in the territory of Land of Wind, so I am willing to pay such amount just in case that ninjas here may encounter shinobi of the Sand Village. I hope you can assign an excellent ninja to accept the task!”
After reading the complete details and listening to Kuroto’s reasoning, the middle-aged lady understood that most likely the task wouldn’t involve fighting, realizing that such a task is a good business opportunity for their village so said with the most pleasant smile, “I understand, please don’t worry sir, the Grass Village is the strongest besides the five great shinobi villages, we have many strong and capable ninjas, and we guarantee to find the person you are looking for in the least amount of time possible.”
Kuroto nodded slightly in appreciation.
Among the small shinobi villages, although Grass Village is not weak, it isn’t strong enough to be called the strongest.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn Kuroto’s understanding, the strongest would definitely be the Rain Village, if not for the location of Rain Village that lies in the Land of Rain that borders the territory of Konoha, Sand, and Rock Village, it would have already been considered the sixth great shinobi village even in the era of Hanzo.
Not to mention now with the presence of Pain, Rain Village may in fact be the strongest of all shinobi Villages!
Kuroto didn’t have to wait too long, as just about an hour later four ninjas with Grass Village’s forehead protector came to him.
One of them analyzed Kuroto and then said, “My name is Yamada, I am a Jonin of Grass Village. I and my team will be responsible for your task.”
Kuroto smiled and nodded, “You all can call me ‘Mr. Mu’, and I am grateful for the four of you for accepting the task at such short notice, and I hope you can help me find the person I am looking for.”
Kuroto was satisfied with the four ninjas in front of him.
Just from the Chakra Level, he can guess that Yamada is really a Jonin Class ninja, and his physique is also quite impressive, indicating his good strength.
Although the other three are mid-level chunin, they didn’t seem too mediocre either.
Nodding in satisfaction, the five of them left the Grass Village.
While traveling, one of the Chunin said to Kuroto, “Don’t worry Mr. Mu, Yamada-San is one of the best ninjas of our village, completing the task under his leadership will be a breeze.”
Kuroto nodded, “It seems I was lucky to be able to hire you all!”
“Of course, I don’t want to scare you or anything, but our Yamada-San has a bounty of ten million Ryo in the Black market! Even if we meet the ninja of the Sand Village, you don’t have to worry about being in danger.”
Hearing the Chunin ninja’s word, Kuroto took a closer look at Yamada, who was at the front of the team. Kuroto didn’t expect that a Grass Village Jonin will have a bounty of ten million Ryo, this amount although not very big but is also not small either.
‘Should I take his head for the bounty after the task completion?’ – thought Kuroto silently.
But after thinking a little, he decided to let go, it’s just ten million Ryo, it would be pointless trouble.
This time Kuroto was really helpless, as he didn’t have any other choice but to go to Grass Village to entrust the task.
After the Roran city was abandoned, the people of Roran lived a nomadic life chasing after oasis, as such they didn’t have any permanent homes. It would be nearly impossible for him to find them in just one-and-a-half months in the vast deserts of the Land of Wind.
Therefore, he came up with the idea of entrusting this task to some shinobi village.
Konoha Village and Sand Village were obviously eliminated by him for this purpose.
As for the remaining, Rock, Cloud, and Mist village was also excluded by him one after another.
Rock Village has strong enmity with the Sand Village.
Mist Village is too far.
And Kuroto just can’t begin to trust Cloud Village.
Then for the small villages around the Land of Wind, there are only Rain Village and Grass Village.
Rain Village is currently the base of operation of the Akatsuki. It is a tiger den’s, Kuroto doesn’t want any sort of trouble by contacting them, so he chose the only other option he was left with.
After disguising himself, Kuroto came to the Grass Village.
By hiring Grass ninja, he will have access to the information network of the Grass Village, as such finding the descendants of the Roran would be much easier.
…
Land of Water
Sasori of the Red Sand sat on a small rock.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTaking out a small water kettle, he took a light sip of water as he looked at the battlefield in front of him.
At this moment, countless bone spears burst out of the ground, making a bone forest covering hundreds of square meters of area, sort of like the bamboo forest.
In the middle of the bone forest was the corpse of the person responsible for creating such a forest.
The corpse was also covered with sharp bone spurs, giving it a monstrous look, but Sasori wasn’t scared by this scene. NO! he wasn’t scared at all… rather he was happy… as he slowly walked towards the side of the corps, and carefully sealed it in a scroll.
By the time he was done another person appeared at his side.
Sasori turned his head and said coldly, “Orochimaru, you are late!”
Orochimaru said with an overcast smile ignoring Sasori’s previous words, “The patriarch of the Kaguya Clan seems to be nothing too special!”
Although Orochimaru said this, in fact, he was quite surprised that Sasori easily managed to kill the patriarch of the fierce and powerful Kaguya Clan.
Putting away the scroll, Sasori stated, “Hm… the people of Kaguya Clan are all lunatics, in my opinion, their strength is also not too bad, if not for the poison, they wouldn’t be so easy to kill!”
Looking at the bone forest around him, Orochimaru said with interest, “You seem to have collected a lot of high-quality puppet materials using the turmoil in the Mist Village.”
Sasori glanced at Orochimaru condescendingly as he stated, “Aren’t you the same? You took away the brat in the Dungeon!”
“Hou… I thought I managed to hide it from you!” Orochimaru smiled indifferently and continued, “It’s about time we leave, the situation of the Mist Village seems to be calming down!”
Sasori shook his head, “Let’s stay a few more days, such a chance to hunt the ninjas with strong Kekkei Genkai is too rare, I need more puppet materials.”
Groaning a little Orochimaru nodded, “Alright fine, just stay for a few more days!”
Orochimaru has found an orphan of the Kaguya Clan, so he no longer has any interest in staying in the Land of Water, however, he and Sasori are partners in the Akatsuki, since, Sasori insists on staying, he also has to stay for a few more days.
As for the reason why Sasori insists on staying in the Land of Water?
Obviously to make up for the loss of Sandaime Kazekage puppet. If he still had that puppet, he wouldn’t be so interested in staying in the Land of Water anymore…
