Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 155 How much do you get paid for one time? Why are you risking your life like this?

"What did you say?!"

"Konoha brat! You're asking for death!"

Mikami Yu's words precisely struck at the sore spot of the Grass Ninja. Their village was small and weak, struggling to survive in the cracks of the ninja world, and they were most afraid of being exposed as "opportunists." Two of the three Grass Ninja were instantly enraged, their faces turning red, and the short, fat one even drew his sword and stepped forward.

but----

"etc."

The gloomy young man who had been silent until now suddenly spoke. He raised his hand to stop his companion, then stared at Mikami Yu and said, "Konoha genin, now is not the time to argue. According to the rules, there should be three hostages down here. Each of our teams should take one. There's no need for conflict."

"—Tch, I think you're just scared!"

Obito scoffed dismissively, then looked at Mikami Yu: "Yu, what do you mean?"

'

'

Mikami Yu pondered deeply.

He had deliberately provoked the Hidden Grass Village with his words, intending to create conflict so that he could find an opportunity to "reasonably" bring up the news that the Hidden Grass Village was imprisoning the Uzumaki clan members. He didn't expect that these few Grass Village ninjas would be so calm.

Taking force is certainly not a problem, but how to induce the opponent to reveal information about the Uzumaki clan during the battle is a question that needs to be considered.

After all, Mikami Yu couldn't just make something up. Konoha had a mountain clan that could directly probe the memories of the newly deceased. If they found that his story didn't match up, it would be asking for trouble. But destroying all the bodies of the people opposite him would seem too deliberate.

Now, the suggestion from that grass ninja has given Mikami Yu a new idea.

"Can."

Yu Mikami nodded. "We agree to cooperate."

"A wise choice."

The gloomy young man twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that could hardly be called a smile. "Then, I suggest that each team leave one person outside to keep watch, and the other two go into the tunnel. After bringing the hostage out, each go their own way."

"Reasonable."

Mikami Yu thought for a moment, then turned to Obito: "Obito, you stay up there."

"Huh? Why me?"

Obito was somewhat reluctant.

"Your Sharingan is suited for vigilance. If anything happens outside, or if something goes wrong down there, you can come to Rin's aid immediately. Otherwise, do you really want Rin to be left out alone?"

"----Oh well."

Obito was persuaded by Yu Mikami and quickly nodded in agreement.

On the other side of Kusagakure, the tall, thin man and the gloomy young man exchanged a few words in hushed tones, and finally decided that the short, fat man would stay up there.

"Then," the gloomy young man looked at Mikami Yu, "which side goes first?"

"You guys go first."

Yu Mikami made an inviting gesture, "After all, it was you who proposed the collaboration, so we should at least show some sincerity."

The tall, thin man snorted coldly, but didn't object. He and the gloomy young man walked down the stone steps one after the other, the glow sticks gradually being swallowed by the darkness. After confirming that there was nothing amiss, Mikami Yu gave Obito a wink, then followed closely behind with Nohara Rin.

The underground space was deeper than expected, as evidenced by the length of the stone steps at the entrance. Moreover, it became increasingly damp as you went down, with water droplets seeping from the surrounding walls and a strong musty and rusty smell permeating the air.

Seeing this, Mikami Yu was a little worried that a landslide might occur later, burying him and Nohara Rin underneath. In that case, even the "Substitute Technique" wouldn't be able to escape.

The two grass ninjas walking in front were also very cautious. The tall, thin one would occasionally form hand seals and use some kind of sensory ninjutsu to probe ahead.

After descending about thirty steps, a flat area appeared ahead. It was a stone chamber about ten square meters in size, with faded murals carved on the walls. There were two forks in the path on either side, both of which looked dark and whose destinations were unknown.

"Should we split up and search separately, one person on each side?"

The tall, thin man asked.

"Can."

Yu Mikami nodded, "However, we each need to leave a clone here to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to return upstairs and ambush our remaining team members. Also, after finding the hostage, we'll signal each other by dissolving our clones."

"make a deal."

At this moment, the two two-person teams have separated again.

After entering the fork in the road, Nohara Rin lowered her voice and quietly asked, "Yu, do you think they're trustworthy?"

"Unreliable."

Yu Mikami answered decisively, "But it doesn't matter. Our primary goal is to find the hostages and pass the test. If the Grass Ninja keeps their promise, that's best. If they try to pull some tricks—then let them understand why Konoha is ranked first among the Five Great Ninja Villages."

"Um."

Nohara Rin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The two walked forward in the passage, and after walking for another two or three minutes, a faint light appeared ahead.

A cell-like room came into view. The room wasn't very large, and the iron gate was ajar. Inside sat three people with their hands and feet bound and their mouths taped shut. They were all dressed in ordinary civilian clothes and looked like villagers from Konoha. They were staring at the doorway in terror.

"—So they actually brought a few living people here as hostages?"

How much do you get paid for this job? Why risk your life like this? Aren't you afraid of running into a bloodthirsty ninja who might just kill you?

Mikami Yu thought to himself, not going in immediately, but standing at the door to observe for a while.

The "hostages" all looked terrified, but upon closer inspection, one could see that there was no real panic in their eyes. Instead, they were breathing steadily and there were faint traces of chakra flowing within their bodies, clearly indicating that they were all ninjas in disguise.

Also.

Since living people, rather than puppets, are being used as "hostages," it is obviously better to have well-trained ninjas play the roles than ordinary civilians. Not only is their safety relatively guaranteed, but they can also observe the rescuers' actions as a reference for the final score.

It's just unknown whether there are any spies among these "hostages," since such a situation is quite possible if we consider the actual circumstances.

present.

Yu Mikami left Rin Nohara outside to watch over things, and went into the room alone.

Almost at the same moment his foot landed, the sound of a machine turning suddenly rang out. Then, the floor of the cell was lifted up, and countless shuriken shot out from the pre-arranged mechanisms, instantly forming a dense, rain-like attack!

"Yuu!"

Before Nohara Rin could finish her exclamation, Mikami Yu's short sword was already drawn, flashing with an impenetrable silver light!

With a series of clanging sounds, dozens of shuriken were knocked down and scattered all over the ground.

As the last few clinking sounds rang out, Mikami Yu had already twirled his sword, casually sheathed it, and then revealed a kind smile: "Don't be nervous, we are Konoha ninjas, here to rescue you."
