Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 167 The Sorrel Gold Mine
The mountains in the distance are covered with daisy, and the streams are gurgling.

An old man and a young man were fishing on the river bank.

It's been a long time since I've fished with Gu Jie, an old fisherman, so I'm a bit unfamiliar with his craftsmanship.

However, paying attention to fishing is not about the weather, props, skills, etc., but about whether there are fish in the river. If there are fish, you can take the bait.

The full fish basket shook from time to time, which made Gu Jie blow his beard and stare in annoyance, sighing that he only had fishing skills, but the fish knew people.

When he was preparing to close his pole, "three big fish" floated over from the upper reaches of the river. When he got closer, he found that they were humans.

Hexin and Gu Jie quickly fished the three people to the shore one by one. After noticing that they were still breathing, Gu Jie performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation one by one.

Pay attention to see that these three people are all dressed in coarse cloth and short clothes, with simple and honest looks, like workers on a certain construction site.

"Huhu. Finally saved."

Gu Jie took a complete set of first aid measures, and was panting from exhaustion at this time. He Xin quickly helped him to the side to rest.

After a while, the three of them woke up and looked around. When they saw Zhuan Xin and Gu Jie, they all understood what was going on.

"Thank you! My name is Rokusuke, and these are my coworkers Four Barrel and Gojo."

The man named Liusuke led the other two to stand up and bow quickly.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of effort."

Gu Jie waved his hand, indicating to the three of them that they don't need to be too polite.

"Excuse me, where is this place? How far is it from Muye Village?" Liusuke asked eagerly, his face suddenly becoming anxious.

"It's not far away." Youzhen responded, "What do you want?"

"It's like this, we are the workers of the Sorrel Gold Mine in the Kawa no Country, and we have come to Konoha to entrust the task." Said the four barrels on the left.

"This matter is not a secret. Not long ago, a black hoe family killed our foreman and took control of the entire gold mine. They were very cruel and oppressed the workers wantonly. They would kill people if they disagreed. We were entrusted by all the workers, We hope the Konoha ninjas will help us get rid of the Black Hoe Clan." Gojo on the right said.

"That's right! That Black Hoe Lei Ya likes to kill people, and he even calls them 'funerals'. What's even weirder is that he cries bitterly every time at a 'funeral', as if a relative or friend has died. Before we came, he was giving a funeral Eight is holding a funeral, we need to get to Konoha Village quickly, maybe we can rescue Kanpachi, hurry up! Let’s go!”

At this point, Rokusuke stared with frightened eyes and his body trembled slightly.

Gu Jie heard the name of the black hoe Lei Ya, and remembered that he was the defected ninja Kirigakure, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who managed to escape in the battle with Matt Dai.

"We are Konoha ninjas, be careful, take them to the village to find Tsunade-sama." Gu Jie ordered.

Hexin nodded and walked towards the village with the three workers. In less than an hour, they had arrived at the Hokage's office.

Since this time it involved Black Hoe Raiya, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Heihe also gave a little reminder, explaining how powerful the opponent was and hoping to send a team of powerful ninjas there.

After listening to what Hexin and the three workers said, Tsunade already understood what was going on, and immediately ordered Shizune: "Go find Team Kai!"

Shizune ran out of the office and ordered the ninjas running errands. After a while, she remembered that Kai was not in Konoha at all, "Tsunade-sama, Kai seems to have gone on a mission."

Hearing this, Tsunade rested her chin on her hands, and a pair of bright eyes swept around He Xin's body.

"Young Li, please come back!" An enthusiastic voice came from outside the door. It had only been 10 minutes since Tsunade issued the order to find someone, and Xiao Li had already rushed over. It was conceivable that he must have come at a lightning speed.

"Notice that you are here too? Are we about to go on a mission together? That's really exciting."

After the operation, Xiao Li exudes a more youthful and lively atmosphere than before.

Looking carefully at Tsunade's upturned face, he nodded helplessly.

Then Neji also came to the office, and he said: "I'm sorry, Tenten was injured while training with me yesterday, and I can't come for the time being."

"Well, it doesn't matter if one person is missing." Tsunade stood up and ordered, "This mission is led by Heliang, to help the workers in the Sorrel Gold Mine drive away the Black Hoe Clan. For specific mission details, you can ask Heliang on the way. .

"Wait!" Neji bowed, "I recommend Hinata Hinata to join our team, please note that he thinks so too!"

He Xin was helpless. He didn't expect Neji to be bad at it. I didn't think so at all!

Tsunade looked at Hein, as if asking for his opinion.

Hexin nodded.

Then everyone went to the gate of Konoha to wait for Hinata. Soon Hyuga Takashi escorted Hinata to the door. At the end, he did not forget to ask Neji to protect the eldest lady.

Hinata's face was filled with joy. She was finally able to go out to do a mission, and she was with Hein and Neji. This made her so happy that she felt the wind under her feet while walking on the road.

The Kingdom of Kawa is located between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire. The Oxalis Gold Mine is closer to Konoha. This is why the workers chose to go to Konoha to entrust the task. Of course, there is also the recent turmoil in the ninja world caused by Tsunade. Due to the trend of internal curling, Konoha Ninja is really curled.

After traveling for a day and a night, everyone finally arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Sichuan. Xiao Li suddenly felt sleepy while walking, and his round eyes seemed to be about to close at any time.

"Xiao Li, are you okay?" Hinata couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Li's body swayed and he said, "I smelled a familiar smell, and my body couldn't help but act like this."

Neji recalled an experience that Xiao Li and Kai had told before, and said, "Teacher Kai and Xiao Li had a curry shop they met near the sorrel gold mine."

"That's right!" Xiao Li's eyes were still slit at this time, "Once, Teacher Kai and I ran here for three days and three nights, and finally fainted from exhaustion. It was Granny Sanjiao and Brother Jiezi who saved us. Got me."

"It's close, it's close!" Xiao Li's nostrils were twitching, smelling the fragrant curry smell, he could no longer restrain his body's impulse, and ran forward with his legs like wheels.

Paying attention, everyone hurriedly followed and saw a shop at the foot of the mountain with a sign that read "Curry House of Fate".

"Grandma Sanjiao!" Xiao Li excitedly picked up the old lady and spun her around once he reunited with his old friend.

Grandma Sanjiao saw that it was Xiao Li, and her kind face burst into laughter, "The curry rice was just prepared, you are in for a treat today!"

Everyone greeted Granny Sanjiao and then came to the dining table, already looking forward to the curry rice that saved Xiao Li's life.

But when the black curry rice, which was as hot as gasoline, was served, everyone looked at Xiao Li and couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Li, can you take a bite and let me see?"

"Then I'm welcome!" Xiao Li took the plate with both hands and opened his mouth as if he was going to swallow the whole plate.
