Open Treasure Chest Through Konoha

Watching the sky getting late,

Bai Mingyu gave up his plan to find out, and walked down the mountain with Saeki Toshio.

……

That night.

In the guest room arranged by the old village head, several people sat facing each other, and the lights on the low table danced faintly.

Bai Mingyu handed the two marked simple maps to Quan and Junmalu respectively, and said: "I have marked the locations of the traps on the mine, and you'd better write it down and use this map later." Burn the paper to prevent the information from leaking out."

"Ah."

The two nodded, clutching the map tightly in their hands.

"Then, let's assign our respective tasks."

Bai Mingyu tapped his fingers on his knees a few times, and said slowly while thinking: "The three of us, divide into two groups first, and I will be in a group by myself, Quan, you, Junmaru, and Ibrahimovic One group. I plan to bring most of the miners in the village to the mountain to mine ore from tomorrow, so that the village will become empty of manpower. When I am stationed on the mine side, the village will be handed over to you temporarily The two are in charge."

With that said, Bai Mingyu took out a few signal sticks from his backpack and handed them to Quan:

"If there is a situation that cannot be dealt with, use this thing to contact me immediately. After I see the signal from you on the mountain, I will arrive in about ten minutes...During this period, don't act without authorization, be careful into the enemy's trap."

"no problem."

Quan bit his lip lightly, nodded, and then looked at Bai Mingyu with some worry: "Mr. Baiyu, besides those bandits, who else will we encounter as enemies?"

"Ok?"

Bai Mingyu thought for a while, and said: "It's still hard to say... Now that the ore on the mountain has been confirmed to be a chakra conduction metal mine, it is possible for ninjas from other places to target this village.

However, this place is in the Land of Fire, and there should not be many people who know the news about this mine. In a short time, there should not be too many people lurking in the dark. As for the future... we can only adapt to the situation. "

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After discussing by candlelight for a while, sleepiness surged up.

After tidying up hastily, several people went back to their rooms to rest.

The old village head arranged two guest rooms for them. Bai Mingyu and Jun Malu lived in one, and Quan himself lived in one. Although the room was a little crude, it was spacious and clean.

Of course...if Quan doesn't mind, Bai Mingyu thinks it would be a good allocation plan for Jun Malu to live in a room by himself, and for him to share a room with Quan...

……

That night

on the mine.

The night is quiet, the moon and stars are sparse.

There are lush forests on the mountain, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large throughout the year. Once at night, the temperature is often several degrees lower than during the day.Amidst the whistling sound, the cold mountain wind kept blowing in the woods. The miners guarding around the mine had already extinguished the bonfire and returned to their tents to rest.Not long after, snoring started everywhere.

When everyone else fell asleep, a sneaky figure suddenly got up, lifted the tarpaulin of the tent, and crept out.

After looking outside the tent for a while, he turned around, bent over and trotted in one direction.

It ran for about ten minutes.

The man stopped and put his hands in front of his mouth to imitate a few bird calls.

After two or three minutes.

There was a rustling sound in the woods, the shadows of the trees shook a few times, and a group of strong men appeared in the open space.

The leader had a scar on his face and looked fierce.

"Boss Ito!"

shouted the one who had appeared here before, nodding and bowing.

"You still have the guts to come here?"

With a cold face, the man with the scar snorted, and said with a bit of anger in his voice: "I ask you, what happened today! Didn't you say that in your village, there are ordinary Farmers, why did a few such powerful brats suddenly appear, causing us to lose so many manpower...

Marutetsu-sama is furious now, if you don't give us a satisfactory explanation, you don't even think about going back from here today! "

The person in front had a bitter face, and said with an apologetic smile: "Boss Ito, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen... those brats appeared out of nowhere, and I didn't know it beforehand...

But I have already figured out the origins of those guys. The guy in the lead is named Estes, and his two companions, one is Chitong and the other is Qiya. It is said that they wandered from other places. warrior……

But don't worry, there are only three of them, and no matter how powerful they are, they are just a bunch of immature brats. As long as Marutetsu-sama is willing to take action himself, they will be easily killed! "

While speaking, the dark clouds gathered on the moon gradually drifted away.

The bright moonlight fell down, illuminating the two figures on the ground.

Among them, the man with the scar was the leader of the group of bandits who attacked the village this morning.

The young man next to him was wearing ordinary coarse clothes and had a simple and honest smile on his face. He looked like a simple and honest ordinary villager. However, if Bai Mingyu was here, he would immediately recognize his identity. It was Toshio Saeki who led the way before!

"Hmph, do you think you need to bother Marutetsu-sama to do it yourself for such a trivial matter?"

After hearing Saeki Toshio's explanation, the man with the scar was still angry, and said ruthlessly: "Forget it, you don't dare to deliberately design to deceive us... Tell me, what are those little devils capable of killing us? Brothers, I must make them pay in blood!"

"..."

……

Early the next morning.

After a brief wash, after breakfast, Bai Mingyu went to find the old village head.

Regarding Bai Mingyu's proposal, the old village chief hesitated at the beginning, because there were not many young and middle-aged laborers in this village. If all of them were pulled up the mountain to mine, there would only be some old and weak women and children left in the village. A bandit attack like yesterday's might kill the entire village.

After some persuasion, and the fact that both Quan and Junmalu stayed in the village, the old village chief reluctantly agreed to gather a dozen strong young men to go up the mountain to mine ore together.

Although this result was worse than what Bai Mingyu had expected, it was still acceptable.

After breakfast.

About ten o'clock in the morning, the miners' team started to go up the mountain.

A group of Hao Hao Tang Tang.

The route of travel is the same as that led by Toshio Saeki yesterday.

Halfway through the journey that would take an hour to complete, when passing through a forest, Bai Mingyu suddenly slowed down, looked forward as if he had a feeling, then raised his hand and made a stop motion Gesture, "Stop first."

"...Lord Estes, what's wrong?"

Several villagers stopped one after another and looked at Bai Mingyu with some doubts.

"Stand here and don't move, I'll go ahead and explore the way..."

Bai Mingyu gave a casual reminder, covered his forehead with one hand, and looked far away in the direction of the forest.

There didn't seem to be any noteworthy changes in his line of sight, but Bai Mingyu believed in his intuition that he had honed through countless battles. At that moment just now, he vaguely felt something was wrong, as if he instinctively felt that something was wrong .

The source of this feeling seems to be...

So quiet!

It is late winter.

In this season, most animals either go into hibernation or reduce their activities, but there is absolutely no sound in the woods.When I came here yesterday, Bai Mingyu heard a lot of birds chirping along the way, and from time to time I could see some squirrels or monkeys passing through the dense bushes. Now, in the woods a hundred meters away, But not a single sound could be heard.

It was as if the whole forest had fallen into a dead silence.

"Could it be..."

Bai Mingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, a thought vaguely appeared in his mind, but he was a little uncertain.

Is it too soon to act...

A thought flashed across his mind, and Bai Mingyu strode forward as if he didn't know it, and stepped into the woods.

Footsteps rustled.

After a winter, many dry branches and yellowing fallen leaves have accumulated in the woods. When stepping on them, you can still hear a series of creaking sounds. While walking, Bai Mingyu did not squint, but in fact, she opened her eyes silently. Sensing, scanning the surroundings with the corner of the eye, the sound of breathing hidden in the woods or bushes faintly entered the ear.

Sudden……

As Bai Mingyu stepped out with a certain step...

Swish! !

A restraining force came from under his feet, and the noose hidden under the leaves and floating soil tightened instantly between the lightning and the flint, instantly tied Bai Mingyu's ankle, and then violently pulled him up to the tree trunk!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

It's too late, it's too soon.

Bai Mingyu reacted almost as soon as his body tilted. He was in mid-air, he straightened his waist slightly, and then drew his knife out of the sheath with his backhand and wiped it on his back.Sode Baixue's sharp blade slashed across with the slight sound of wind, cutting the rope without hindrance, and Bai Mingyu rolled over in the air and landed.

But then, there was a burst of wind breaking sound!

Deep in the woods.

The sharp arrows were as dense as raindrops, and they shot out from several directions at the same time from the depths of the forest, as if the rain was pouring, and each arrow was covered with bright flames, and it was astonishing that each arrow was ignited rocket!

"..."

Bai Mingyu stepped back.

His movements were not fast, almost as soon as he took a few steps back, the first rain of arrows landed on the spot where Bai Mingyu was standing with the sound of breaking wind, and a sharp arrow nailed On the ground, the flame above the arrowhead burned rapidly, and with the help of dead leaves everywhere, the fire quickly spread around!

In the blink of an eye, it burned into a raging sea of ​​flames.

At the same time, there were two more wind sounds.

It sounds like someone cut the rope or something with a knife.

The next moment, two thick logs fell from the sky with the whistling wind, and smashed down on Bai Mingyu's head with extremely heavy momentum. Almost instantly, they knocked down Bai Mingyu who was trapped in the sea of ​​flames and had no time to escape. On the ground!

Blood splatters! !
