Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 184 Not a living person
"Heart what do you think?" Ning Ci asked curiously.

He Xin Youyou said: "If there are ghosts, I can't say for sure. Maybe it has nothing to do with them. But if it is a man-made ghost, both Hongming and Meng Zong have problems. Let's go and talk about it. It's hard to guess without evidence now." ."

Kakashi nodded. In the eyes of everyone, the preconceived idea is a man-made ghost. After all, they have never encountered a real ghost.

But as He noted, it cannot be ruled out that there are real ghosts.

After listening to Tian Tian, ​​I was a little scared, and leaned against Ning Ci, but Ning Ci coughed twice and did not speak.

In two or three days, everyone has arrived in the Kingdom of Birds. The lakeside place where migratory birds live is the capital city of Lakeside.

Along the road, there are green grass and flowers, and there are spring-filled lakes everywhere. Birds compete for food on the gentle water, like a peaceful and peaceful picture of spring.

"Let's go see Master Meng Zong. After all, he is the client of this mission."

Qiandao led the way, and the group of people followed closely behind.

After a while, I arrived at Meng Zong's mansion. The building was of a decent size, but it still seemed too shabby if measured by the status of an important minister of a country.

The simple eight houses form two circles of yards. Pay attention to wait for people to watch the house decorations along the way. There are no magnificent paintings, no precious carved stone statues, only natural flowers and plants and birds that stop from time to time.

Judging from the living environment alone, Meng Zong is like an eminent monk.

When we arrived at the reception room, there was only a low tea table, a black and white landscape painting, and a calligraphy that read "If you want to see a thousand miles away".

A fresh and elegant feeling came to everyone. Everyone sat at the tea table first, and Qiandao went to spread the word.

Tiantian looked at him curiously and said, "You really have the demeanor of a master."

"I apologize for keeping you waiting for so long."

There was a loud and heroic voice at the door, and a bald old monk walked in. After sitting at the main seat, he could clearly see that his eyebrows and beard were all white, he had a big nose, a thick face, and kind eyes.

Everyone bent down to pack their luggage, and Kakashi said: "Since Master Mengzong entrusts us Konoha ninjas, we should do our best."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the famous Hatake Kakashi would accept this mission. It seems to be a blessing to our Bird Country. This trouble will definitely be solved this time."

Meng Zong laughed boldly, and Qiandao beside him was also heartbroken. He didn't expect that he had invited such a powerful ninja.

Meng Zong made tea and poured water, and talked eloquently: "This ghost is really strange. When it first appeared, it just scared people. Later, people were killed one after another. It even dared to assassinate me a few days ago. It is really audacious."

"Oh? Master Meng Zong doesn't seem to be afraid of ghosts?" Kakashi asked curiously.

"There is nothing to be afraid of. I walk and sit upright and I am not afraid of these sneaky things. But the people cannot be harmed by it. I have to ask you to help get rid of him."

After saying that, Master Meng Zong prostrated himself on the floor. Although the ninja was respected for his strength, he could not bear the prostrations of an important minister of the country. Kakashi and Hexin quickly went up to help him up.

"Master Meng Zong, we will do our best!"

After a simple reception, Hexin and his party bid farewell to Meng Zong for the time being and went to their room.Everyone placed their luggage and sat together.

"Let's wait for the ghost warrior to appear first. We can only judge after making contact. However, we have to do other work beforehand. I will keep an eye on Lord Meng Zong. Watch out for the three of you to keep an eye on Lord Hong Ming."

Kakashi said, Xin Xin and others have no objection.

After waiting for the sky to darken, the three of them set off for Hongming's mansion. As they approached the mansion, they heard the sound of commotion.

"It's the white ghost!" "There! Catch it!"

In the alleys of Hongming Mansion, many guards were shining here and there with flashlights, making the dark night more noisy.

I saw a tall warrior in white armor flashing past the eaves, but the red ghost mask on his face met He Xin who was hiding on the eaves.

"Catch up first!"

Pay attention to the three of them chasing after the ghost warrior, the whole body of the warrior floated through the air like a still picture.

After chasing for a while, they came to a remote temple. There was a creaking sound of the door opening in the darkness, and the ghost warrior plunged into the door and disappeared.

Ning Ci rolled his eyes a long time ago, his expression was tense, and then he looked incredible, "There is no breath of a living person?"

When Tiantian heard this, his body suddenly felt chilly, and the pores on his arms stood up.

"Follow in and have a look."

Hexin raised his eyes to signal and hid behind Neji. Tenten also held Neji's arm and did not dare to move forward.

Neji forced himself to calm down and led the way forward. The three of them walked towards the open door of the temple one by one. A gust of cold wind blew by, and the three of them immediately hugged each other.

The faint moonlight illuminated the edge of the door, and it was pitch black when you went inside. Ning Ci put his head in, as if he had touched a hard armor, and his head hurt.

"Ah!" Tiantian yelled, and subconsciously threw out the kunai, and the sound of metal hitting metal came.

The ghost warrior reappeared, waving the two red tassel spears in his hands and rushing out of the door.

"What about Neji? Is he a human or a ghost?" Hexin asked.

Ning Ci broke out in a cold sweat and replied, "It's not human!"

The ghost warrior stood in front of the temple, as if guarding his own territory, preventing those in front of him from approaching.

Carefully drew out the black ruler, and stepped forward, as if swinging a sledgehammer, whipping away vigorously.The ghost warrior raised his two spears to resist, but Nai Hexin's swing was so powerful that he was sent flying directly.

Suddenly the armor fell apart and the tall body collapsed. The three people stepped forward and saw that it was empty inside.

"Is it really a ghost?!" Tiantian always had a sliver of reason, but the scene in front of him was really weird.

Looking carefully at the top of the armor, he believed what Neji said, and he was sure that the person in front of him was not a human being, but he didn't feel any traces of chakra flowing, so it could be ruled out that it was due to illusion or other reasons.

But even if it is the soul, he should be able to see it. After all, he is the person who has seen Death. Could it be that the other party doesn't want to see him?
Just as the three of them were frowning, noisy sounds came from behind, and Hong Ming rushed over with a group of guards.

The leading middle-aged man turned his temples over his mouth, and his eyes were sharp, "Who are you? Why are you here!"

Xin Xin put away the black ruler, clapped his hands and said, "We are Konoha ninjas invited by Master Meng Zong to solve the trouble caused by ghost warriors in your country. May I ask who are you?"

"In the country of lower birds, Hongming, hmph! Do ninjas also care about ghosts?" Hongming looked unhappy.

"I can indeed take care of some ghost affairs. I wonder if the ghost warrior just ran away from your residence? Doesn't Lord Hongming need to explain?"

He asked, observing Hong Ming's expression carefully.
