the last contractor

Chapter 7 Footprints
One after another, the villagers packed up their things and came out.

Everyone's face is covered with war-torn winds and frosts, and many people are sallow and thin. In this age, it is a blessing to be able to fill their stomachs.

Lu Ning tied the short knife around his waist. He counted the number of people, and after confirming that there were 19 people in total, he nodded and walked out of the village wearing a bamboo hat.

Protect the villagers.

At least three people are required to survive.

This task is difficult to say, and it is not easy to say that it is simple. If there is no internal response from the Nightmare Space, it is bound to run into three ninjas head-on on the third day. Let alone protecting the villagers, even self-protection is almost impossible.

"I'm not an insider."

The voice of Nightmare Space interrupted Lu Ning's thoughts inappropriately.

Lu Ning said blankly: "Can you not read my thoughts?"

Nightmare Space is also very innocent, it doesn't want to read Lu Ning's messy thoughts, but the contractor is left with only Lu Ning, and it has nothing else to pay attention to besides Lu Ning.

……

The rain was pattering down, as if there was no end to it, and the dense cloud was always suppressed in the sky, and I don't know how many years it would take a chance to clear up.

According to the direction guided by the nightmare space, Lu Ning led many villagers on a long journey, and finally arrived at the canyon ten miles away.

This canyon is not very steep, but it is very large and stretches to the end of the line of sight.

When Lu Ning found the cave hidden in a blind spot, someone in the village suddenly let out a surprise, showing a thoughtful expression.

"It turned out to be here."

"Have you been here?"

Lu Ning looked at the man strangely.

The man nodded and said: "I came here when I was very young, but the memory is very vague. You brought everyone here, and I remembered that there is such a place."

Hearing his words, Lu Ning couldn't help thinking.

Could it be said that the correct way to complete the mission is to first gain the trust of the villagers, and then communicate and discuss with the villagers. In the end, this person remembered that there is a cave to hide in, and then everyone came here to hide?

"It's roughly the same as you think."

The voice of Nightmare Space rang in Lu Ning's ears, "But this is only one of the ways to complete the task. The more in-contractor style is to eliminate the incoming ninjas."

Lu Ning rolled his eyes and said, "It's not like you don't know that I can't beat you."

The mechanized voice of the nightmare space sounded: "Fighting head-on, you fight against the lowest fighting ninja, the winning rate is 3%, the escape rate is 12%, and the death rate is 85%."

"The analysis is good, go back and add a chicken leg."

"..."

Lu Ning led many villagers into the cave. The cave has a large space in the shape of a gourd, enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people to hide here.

After setting up the villagers, Lu Ning came to the entrance of the cave and looked out.

"What if it's not a frontal battle, but a sneak attack? With your help, I should be able to directly determine their exact location and route."

For the side mission of killing a ninja, Lu Ning still does not intend to give up, because such a side mission is probably one of the least difficult missions in Naruto World.

Not to mention.

He also has Nightmare Space to help, and once he completes the side missions, the rewards are basically within a certain range, and he can choose whatever he wants.

"The winning percentage will be higher, but not by much."

"why?"

"Because ninjas are much more vigilant than ordinary people, and their reaction speed is also much faster than ordinary people. Even if your speed is not slow, if you want to sneak attack, you will at most catch the opponent by surprise. If you cannot seriously injure or kill the opponent with one blow, your chances of winning Big."

Nightmare Space continued to analyze.

Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Then what if we use a digitalized body?"

Nightmare Space read the thoughts in Lu Ning's mind, fell into silence, and seemed to be analyzing, and it responded after a few seconds.

"Most of the contractors, in the first few missions, almost used their digital bodies to win. Now you are finally close to the lowest level of the contractors."

Lu Ning: "..."

……

noon.

The sky is still cloudy and rainy.

In the pattering raindrops, three figures were running in the wilderness. They were wearing the forehead protectors of Hidden Sand Village, and they were the ninjas of Hidden Sand Village!
However, the figures of these three people are a little embarrassed, as if they have experienced a battle.

"There's a village ahead."

While running, the person running at the front suddenly had a flash in his eyes. He looked up and saw a piece of scattered buildings appearing in his sight.

"Do you want to go there?"

One asked in a low voice.

The leader said in a deep voice: "Go, since there is a village, there is food to eat. We may encounter Yuren and Konoha's ninjas at any time, so we must replenish our strength as soon as possible."

They are the ninja of an army of Sain. After a battle three days ago, the whole team was completely broken up. Now they are out of contact and have no supplies.

"Where are the villagers?"

"Get rid of them all, so as not to cause complications."

The three ran quickly, and soon came to the village.

however.

The three of them searched around the village, but they didn't even see half a person!
"Not right!"

"There's a problem here."

The three of them searched around, and after meeting up, their expressions were a little serious.

"It doesn't look like a place that hasn't been lived in for a long time, and it's still tidy. It seems that the whole village left together, and it took no more than five days."

"How is this going?"

Apart from the dignified expressions on the faces of several people, they were also a little confused.

To avoid them?

This thought was wiped away by the three of them in just a split second, because it seemed that the villagers had been gone for at least three days in this village.

Three days!

It was two days ago that their team was broken up and completely lost contact, so the villagers in this village must have left because of other things.

"How to do?"

one person asked.

Yura, the leader, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Jisa, search this village carefully to see if there is anything to eat and other information."

The ninja named Hisa nodded.

Yu Liang turned to look at the third person again, and said, "Nakata, go out with me and see if you can find anything."

"it is good."

Nakata nodded and followed Yura out of the village.

After the two came to the outside of the village, they split up and searched one side.

Because the country of rain is rainy all the year round, the outskirts are always wet and muddy, and things like footprints appear intricate and can be seen everywhere.

And as time goes by, these footprints will gradually become blurred under the washing of rain.

Just when Nakata and Yuliang started searching, Lu Ning, who was closing his eyes at the entrance of the cave in the canyon ten miles away from the village, suddenly opened his eyes.

A reminder from the Nightmare Dimension came from his ears.

"Sand Shinobu found the footprints left by you and the villagers."
