Kiyomi stood at the door of the warehouse, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the kunai on his waist.
At the end of the street, several men in work clothes came pushing a truck. Their pace was very neat, not as casual as ordinary workers.
"Kawaki." Kiyomi whispered.
"I saw it." Kawaki had already put his hand on the ninja bag.
The "workers" pushed the truck past the warehouse door, and one of them raised his head and glanced at Kiyomi.
It was that glance.
Kiyomi saw the killing intent in his eyes.
"Be careful!"
The truck suddenly exploded, sending pieces of wood flying everywhere. Several men in black rushed out of the smoke, holding weapons in their hands.
Boruto reacted the fastest, and Shadow Clone deployed instantly, blocking the first wave of attacks.
"It's these people again!" Boruto gritted his teeth, "It's so annoying!"
Kawaki rushed forward, kunai flying in his hands. He moved quickly, knocking down two men in black in a few breaths.
Sarada and Mitsuki work together tacitly. One uses Monster Strength's fist to smash the ground, and the other uses the snake binding technique to control the enemy.
Kiyomi held the kunai tightly and stared at the man in black rushing towards him.
The opponent was very quick and struck her in the head with a knife.
Kiyomi ducked sideways and stabbed the opponent's wrist with kunai. The man in black let go of the knife and hit Kiyomi in the chest with his backhand.
Kiyomi retreated, but the retreat was blocked by another man in black.
Attack from front and back.
"Kiyomi!" Chocho shouted.
Kiyomi gritted his teeth, and the Chakra in his body began to surge.
The beacon cannot be used. The words Sasuke are still ringing in my ears.
But if you don't use it, you will die.
Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed.
Sasuke appeared next to Kiyomi and cut off the weapons of the two men in black with one knife.
"Back off."
Kiyomi took a few steps back and looked at Sasuke.
Sharingan of Sasuke has been turned on, and Three Tomoe is slowly turning in the eyes.
"Mist Village people?" Sasuke looked at the man in black, "Or the debt collectors?"
The leading man in black took off his mask.
It was a young woman with a scar on her face.
"Uchiha Sasuke." The woman sneered, "I didn't expect to meet you here."
"You know me?"
"Of course." the woman said, "Mist Village's wanted warrant lists a reward of fifty million taels for you."
"So you're not here to collect debt?"
"Debt collection is just a side trip." The woman said, "The real target is you."
Sasuke frowned.
"Fifty million taels is enough for us to eat and drink for the rest of our lives." The woman raised her hand, "Do it!"
More men in black rushed out from the surrounding buildings.
At least thirty.
"So many people?" Boruto stared wide-eyed, "Did they call the entire organization?"
"It's not an organization." Sasuke said, "It's mercenaries."
"Mercenary?"
"A ninja who specializes in accepting bounty missions." Sasuke said, "There is no loyalty, only money."
The woman smiled.
"That's right." She Hand Seals her hands, "Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A water dragon surged up from the ground and rushed towards Sasuke with its claws and teeth bared.
Sasuke raised his hand, and lightning condensed in his palm.
"Chidori."
The lightning penetrated the water dragon and went straight to the woman.
The woman's expression changed and she hurriedly retreated. But Chidori's speed was too fast, and she couldn't avoid it at all.
At this moment, a man in black stood in front of her.
Chidori penetrated the chest of the man in black.
"Trash." The woman said coldly, then turned around and ran away.
"Chase!" Boruto shouted.
"No need." Sasuke put away Chidori, "She is just bait."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an explosion in the warehouse.
"Tanaka!"
Sarada was the first to rush into the warehouse.
Thick smoke billowed in the warehouse, and the goods were blown into pieces.
Tanaka was lying on the ground, covered in blood.
"Mr. Tanaka!" Sarada ran over and checked his injuries.
"Still alive." Sarada breathed a sigh of relief, "But he was seriously injured."
"Where is Yamada?" Boruto asked.
"It's gone." Mitsuki said, "She must have taken advantage of the chaos and escaped."
"Damn it." Boruto gritted his teeth, "This is a trap."
Sasuke walked into the warehouse and looked at the mess around him.
"It was a trap from the beginning." Sasuke said, "Tanaka's debt is real, but the target of the mercenaries was never him."
"Is that you?" Kiyomi asked.
"Yeah." Sasuke nodded, "Someone wants my life."
"Who?"
"I don't know." Sasuke said, "But those who can afford a bounty of 50 million taels are not ordinary people."
"Then what should we do now?" Chocho asked.
"Save people first." Sasuke said, "Kiyomi, you go find a doctor. Boruto, you and Kawaki keep an eye on the surrounding area. Sarada, you help Tanaka stop the bleeding."
"Yes."
Kiyomi ran out of the warehouse and found a clinic on the street.
The clinic is small and has only one old doctor.
"Doctor, someone is injured!" Kiyomi said.
"Where?" The old doctor picked up the medical kit.
"Follow me."
Kiyomi took the old doctor back to the warehouse.
The old doctor checked Tanaka's injuries and looked solemn.
"The injury is serious." The old doctor said, "I need surgery immediately."
"Then let's do the surgery here." Sasuke said.
"No." The old doctor shook his head, "The conditions here are too bad, we must go to a clinic."
"Then go to the clinic."
Boruto and Kawaki lifted Tanaka and followed the old doctor to the clinic.
Kiyomi, Sarada, and Chocho stayed in the warehouse to clean up the mess.
"This mission is really unlucky." Chocho sighed, "It's obviously just a C-level mission, why did it become like this?"
"Because the intelligence was wrong." Sarada said, "Tanaka concealed the debt, which caused us to misjudge the degree of danger."
"Then will he be punished?"
"Yes." Sarada said, "Cheating a ninja is a felony and will result in at least three years in prison."
Kiyomi didn't speak, but silently packed up the scattered goods.
She suddenly felt that there were no simple tasks in this world.
Behind every mission, there are countless secrets and dangers.
At night, in the clinic.
Tanaka was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale.
The old doctor said that the operation was successful, but he needed to rest for at least a month.
"I'm sorry." Tanaka said weakly, "I shouldn't have lied to you."
"It's useless to talk about it now." Sasuke stood beside the bed, "Tell me about Yamada."
"Yamada?" Tanaka was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with him?"
"He disappeared." Sasuke said, "When the explosion occurred, he took advantage of the chaos and escaped."
"How is that possible?" Tanaka's eyes widened, "He has been my business partner for many years, there is no way he could escape."
"Then why is he missing?"
"I don't know." Tanaka shook his head, "Maybe it was blown up?"
"Impossible." Sarada said, "The center of the explosion was behind the warehouse. The location of Yamada station is very safe."
"Then... then where did he go?"
"This is what we want to check." Sasuke said, "He is probably related to those mercenaries."
Tanaka was silent.
"What do you know?" Sasuke stared at him.
"I..." Tanaka hesitated, "Yamada is indeed a little strange recently."
"Why is it strange?"
