Chapter 117 Missing
Walking out of the bustling streets, Tomoko Uzumaki looked at the pedestrians coming and going on both sides with envy, and couldn't help but sigh.
Konoha's peace made her long for it, but she quickly calmed down.
"I can't cause trouble for Kushina, I must leave as soon as possible. As for Young Master Shisui's order, I'll apologize to him after I go back..."
As he said that, Tomoko Uzumaki clenched his fists: "There is that guy Jue... I must not let him continue to bewitch Master Shimizu! The young master is obviously so kind, but he has been ruined by him! I must go back and tell the young master that he can't let him go any further! The plan for Konoha is too dangerous..."
Thinking of this, Uzumaki Tomoko followed a caravan and hurried out of Konoha gate.
After all, she is not a ninja, and the village does not have that strict constraints on civilians.
Looking back at this quiet village, Uzumaki Tomoko bit her lip. If she had come to Konoha earlier, she and Kasumi would have lived in such a village, right?
But now, I can no longer look back! For Xiangphosphorus, even if I sacrifice my life, I have to go on together!
Uzumaki Tomoko lowered her head and hurried to the place she agreed with Uchiha Shimizu.
However, before she went far, she suddenly felt an uneasy breath, and someone was following her! Even if she was not a ninja, the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan also allowed her to sense the crisis. It was precisely because of this faint feeling that she could survive alone in this war-torn world.
Uzumaki Tomoko stopped quickly and looked ahead nervously.
Soon in front of her, a ninja in black with an iron face quietly turned from behind a giant tree.
He didn't make a sound, but Tomoko Uzumaki felt a deep darkness and murderous aura in him. This was a person who seemed to fall into hell, and was a little terrifying.
Uzumaki Tomoko took a step back and said vigilantly: "You...who are you? I am just an ordinary person, why should I follow me?"
"Ordinary people?"
The iron-faced man's voice was hoarse, and every voice was like a rusty iron saw: "Ordinary people from the vortex clan are also precious treasures. You understand, how can you give up the wealth brought by that bloodline? So don't struggle, it's not worth it if you lose your life."
Uzumaki Tomoko's face changed drastically: "Who are you? Why do you know..."
"Why..." The iron-faced man walked over step by step, and said slowly in a harsh voice: "You can call me Kaoru, I am a bounty ninja. The price of the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan has always been high on the black market; so you should understand that I will not let you go..."
"Kaodu? Not sent by Konoha..." Uzumaki Tomoko retreated step by step, her hands hiding behind her back.
"Oh? Konoha? Woman, do you think Konoha will also peek at the bloodline of his former allies?" The Iron-faced man paused and continued to approach: "No need to say so much, hurry up and surrender! With my strength, you will definitely not be able to escape. Remember my name, my name is Kaoru..."
“…”
Uzumaki Tomoko was silent.
As the iron-faced man gradually approached, she suddenly turned around and ran away.
However, how could an ordinary person compare to the speed of a ninja? In just a moment of kung fu, the iron-faced man instantly landed behind Uzumaki Tomoko and hit her back with a palm.
Uzumaki Tomoko's eyes turned dark and she fell forward.
With a "pop", Uzumaki Tomoko fell to the ground. The Iron-faced man had no idea of pitying the fragrance and had no support at all.
He just turned around and stared at the empty forest on the side, and kept staring blankly for a long time.
It was not until a leaf slowly fell that he turned around and turned around, bent down and twisted the vortex torch and carried it on his shoulders, and disappeared in an instant.
When the iron-faced man left, a human figure dressed in a black cloak and covered his hair turned around from the branch of a big tree not far away.
"Uruy...teacher?"
...
"What did you say? Uzumaki Tomoko, isn't in the hotel?" Hatsuki Mizuto was a little surprised.
Hatsuki nodded, and pointed at Uchiha Itachi again: "When Itachi and I went, Aunt Toko was no longer in the hotel. Then we searched nearby for a long time, but we didn't find her. Father, do you think Aunt Toko would quietly leave without saying goodbye to us?"
Naoki Mizuno lowered his head and pondered for a while: "This kind of thing is hard to say! But the vortex bloodline...so Tatsuya, what do you want me to do?"
Hatsukita also rolled his eyes: "Is this more important? Of course I'm sending someone to find him! No matter from the perspective of relatives or identity, it's impossible for Aunt Tomoko to leave like this, right? How dangerous should she be when she is an ordinary person who is not even a ninja? And don't we, Konoha, have the responsibility to protect the Uzumaki people? Just because of this reason, as Naruto, we can't watch something happen to her!"
Hatsuki Tatsuki also said a lot, and Uchiha Itachi beside him was a little stunned.
Hatsuki Mizumi looked at her son with a smile, patiently waiting for her son to wipe her saliva and explain, then she said softly: "Tatya, calm down. How do you know that Tomoko Uzumaki did not leave Konoha voluntarily? You said just now that she checked out on her own initiative and was not coerced."
"Hey! This is not like what Naruto should say!" Habukita also narrowed his eyes.
Naoki Mizuno couldn't help laughing: "Haha! Don't worry! When Uzumaki Tomoko left the village, I had already received news. How could I not care about the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan? So don't worry, I have sent Kaneko Ichi and Izumi Izumi to secretly protect it. They are the new Zhongnin I appointed by me, and they are also an excellent partner; the two of them work together to protect Tomoko, and there is definitely no problem escorting Tomoko home."
"So... it turns out that you already knew about Aunt Toko leaving the village!" Bo Fengda also grinded his teeth fiercely.
Why didn't you tell him earlier? Do you know how hard it was to run away with him and Itachi looking for people everywhere? I always thought that Tomoko Uzumaki was hiding by Shimura...
‘Dongdong’
The office door was knocked, and a middle-aged ninja in Chunin uniform walked into the room. He came to Habukitaya and knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Sir Naruto, something happened."
Natsuki Mizuno's eyes narrowed. This ninja was his confidant and would never lie about military affairs.
"Is something going on? Dai."
The ninja named Dai turned his head and looked at the two little ghosts, Habukita and Uchiha Itachi next to him, and the meaning was very clear.
Naoki Mizuno smiled: "Dai! I can re-recognize you, thanks to Tatsuya! If Tatsuya hadn't told me that he saw that there was an excellent ninja in the village who was very powerful but did not show off but was just to protect Konoha, maybe I would really ignore you."
"So this is Master Tatsuya who recommends me to Lord Naruto?"
Mike's eyes lit up, showing a very exaggerated surprise expression. He turned around and thanked Hatsukita, but he soon thought of serious things, so he didn't consider whether Hatsukita needed to avoid it. He just said in a deep voice: "Sir Naruto, I found Kaneko and Izumichi on the side of the road near the village. These two children were knocked unconscious and hung on the tree on the side of the road. I guess this must be because the enemy had sneaked into the village..."
Before Mike Day could finish his words, he saw the awkward and gray face of Mizuno.
