That night.
The young craftsman Shinobi closed the workshop, and left with a frown.
All the way home, he always felt uneasy that something big was about to happen.
At the same time.
In the craftsman's workshop with the door closed.
Kanpū's shadow clone, who has gone back inside at some time, slowly showed his figure, but at this time, the shadow clone has used Transformation Technique to become the young craftsman Shinobi!
Even if there are any surveillance methods here, only the young craftsman Shinobi will be discovered here!
The shadow clone fumbled around to turn on the light, then removed all of the more than fifty sword blades on the wall without any expression, then took out the sealing scroll and spread it out on the ground, pressing his palm onto the word 'seal' on the scroll, poured some Chakra to open the scroll, and then stuffed all the sword blades into it.
There's still a bit of room to spare inside the scroll.
The shadow clone remembered the explanation of the main body, frowned slightly, hesitated, and finally kicked open the back door violently and turned on the lights in the back room. The shadow clone saw a row of shelves on the left and right side of the walls, and there are about a dozen colorful ores on the shelves, which looked very fancy.
As for the ground, there are baskets of iron ore, and paper is attached to the outside of the basket, and the quality of the ore is marked on the paper.
The shadow clone glanced casually, and then put his attention on the ore on the two shelves.
Because there is only a little space left in the sealing scroll, the shadow clone can only take one or two more ores at most. After looking around, the shadow clone can't tell the quality of these ores at all, and in the end, it can only rely on its vision and chose a fist sized silver ore.
After that, the shadow clone put away the scroll, kicked open the locked door outside violently, and quickly run away.
...
After returning home, the young craftsman Shinobi was feeling restless. After a while, he really couldn't sit still anymore, so he got up and walked out. His walk turned into jog, and then the jog turns into run, but when he arrived at his workshop, it was already too late.
Looked at the broken door of his workshop, the young craftsman Shinobi's complexion changed greatly. He immediately sounded the alarm, and then entered his workshop with a sullen face.
Turn on the light, the young craftsman Shinobi found that the two walls were bare, and all the sword blades hanging on the walls have disappeared!
"Damn it!"
The young craftsman Shinobi's face darkened. The sword blades on the wall are all his masterpiece of the past five years, but they are unexpectedly…
'Damn!'
The young craftsman Shinobi gnashed his teeth in anger and then entered the place where the ore was stored. After some inspection, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The thief finally had a bit of conscience and didn't steal all the ore on his shelves.
However, a precious silver ore is still missing.
This ore can transmit Chakra perfectly and is one of the best materials for making excellent Ninja Tools!
He has had it for a long time and was not willing to use it!
The young craftsman Shinobi held back tears in his eyes.
It didn't take long for several craftsmen Shinobi to hear the alarm here and quickly rushed over. After learning about the theft incident, they immediately reported it to everyone. And soon after, the leader of the Craftsmen Shinobi Village personally ordered the blockade of the Craftsman Shinobi Village, and strictly checked all outsiders!
But no matter how much they checked, it is impossible to find Kanpū.
After the shadow clone came out of the gate of the Craftsmen Shinobi Village, he ran wildly in the direction of Konoha.
But after running for a while, the shadow clone discovered something was wrong.
He stopped and looked at the ground beneath his feet.
This is the trace left by the Shinobi that are running so fast, and the trace should have been left a few hours ago.
When Kanpū and the others left, because they are escorting Kikuchi, they couldn't move faster.
Therefore, this trace must be left by other Shinobi!
'Is someone following the main body?'
The shadow clone cautiously walked forward for a certain distance, and sure enough, some traces were found. These traces are very shallow, because of the night, if he didn't look closely, he won't be able to find it at all!
The shadow clone realized that the situation was serious, and no longer hesitated. He dug a hole nearby to bury the sealing scroll, and then dissipated himself.
At the same time.
Fifty miles ahead.
Kanpū, who had already camped and started barbecuing, suddenly have a lot of memories flooded into his brain.
When he calmeddown, his face suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?"
Shisui, who was sitting next to him, looked at Kanpū in confusion. Since leaving the Craftsmen Shinobi Village, Kanpū's expression has been very strange, and from time to time, he smiles lewdly, which makes people palpitate.
Kanpū didn't know what Shisui was thinking, otherwise, he would have hit him.
"After leaving the Craftsmen Shinobi Village, just in case, I deliberately left a shadow clone behind!"
Kanpū said solemnly, "Just now, my shadow clone found traces of Shinobi activities, right behind us!"
"Shinobi?"
Shisui's face condensed, "Are we being followed?"
"It's very possible!"
Kanpū nodded, then gave Shisui a vague look.
Shisui realized what Kanpū's eyes meant when he saw it.
Then the two looked towards Shikuro at the same time: 'This bearer of bad luck star … Sure enough, something happened again!'
Shikuro was roasting the pheasant at the moment, and was not anxious at all. Seeing the two pair of eyes fell on him, he said: "Kanpū, I didn't expect you to find it out first. It really surprised me."
"Could it be that Shikuro-sensei have already found out about this?" Shisui's eyes lit up.
Shikuro nodded and said: "Not long after we left the Craftsmen Shinobi Village, my insects
were detected. The reason why I haven't reminded you is because I want to see your vigilance."
Kanpū looked at him blankly: 'Even if you praise me, you can't cover up the fact that you are a bearer of bad luck star!'
"Shikuro-sensei, which village is the Shinobi following us from?"
Shisui calmed down and asked, "How is their strength?"
Shikuro saw that the pheasant was cooked, so he opened his mouth and took a small bite. The taste was a little light, but very fragrant.
After chewing for a while, Shikuro said: "The other side is the Shinobi from Iwagakure. There are three people in total. According to their Chakra's aura, they should all be Chunin."
"Three Chunin?"
Shisui nodded slightly when he heard this, 'No wonder Shikuro-sensei is not impatient or anxious. For him, three Chunin can be solved quickly, but judging from Shikuro-sensei's expression, it seems that he does not intend to take action.
'This is troublesome.'
At this time, Kikuchi was already nervously covering the two scrolls in his pocket and said: "Everyone, those Iwagakure's Shinobi didn't come for my Ninja Tools, right?"
"They must be here for your Ninja Tools!" Kanpū hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, "Kikuchi-san, just think, our Shikuro-sensei is a Jōnin, so if Iwagakure's Shinobi is coming for us, how could it be possible for them to send only three Chunin over?"
After Kikuchi thought about it, he could not help but sigh silently.
With Shikuro here, he doesn't need to worry about his safety, but…
'If we encounter a sneak attack from Shinobi during the mission, the Mission Rank will rise from C-Rank to B-Rank!'
The mission commission will also change from 100,000 to 200,000!
Kanpū is so active in explaining this matter, and naturally it is also for the commission.
After all, he has spent 600,000 ryō to build his new sword, Moonlight. Right now, his net worth is less than 50,000 and he needs fund injection urgently!
After that, Kanpū remembered the sealing scroll.
The clone found a random place to bury it… What if it was discovered by a passing merchant?'
Kanpū can't wait to directly summon a shadow clone to take care of this matter, but considering that this matter still needs to be kept secret, Kanpū thinks it is better to deal with it in a low-key manner.
