Rescuing the Hostages! Mission Accomplished!

"It's obvious that the people lying inside are all people without chakra. It seems I was right. The old place is the morgue, "Shiyu said to Mei.

"Damn it! They actually put all the captured people in the morgue. Shouldn't they treat the hostages well?! How are they?" Ming asked worriedly.

"Their chakra is extremely disordered; it seems they've all been affected by Genjutsu. However, they're still alive, just very weak. The temperature in the morgue is very low," Shiyu said, frowning.

Shiyu and Ming walked to the door of the secret door, but were immediately stopped by the guards.

"Hmm? Kakuzu? Is there anything I can help you with?" asked the person guarding the secret door.

Seeing that Kakuzu hadn't captured any prisoners or corpses, he also became suspicious.

"I'd like to go in for a bit, is that alright?" Shiyu asked directly.

"Oh? That's against the rules. Even if you are Kakuzu, you don't have the right to enter after submitting your mission unless you can complete a new one." The man was very stubborn and wouldn't move aside.

"Since that's the case, I have no choice but to use my magic on you." Shiyu then unleashed her pale blue Mangekyo, and the powerful Genjutsu instantly froze the person in front of her in place.

Because the commotion wasn't very loud, it didn't attract anyone's attention.

"Let's go." Shiyu and Ming easily entered the morgue of the underground bounty agency.

"It stinks! The smell here is even stronger than outside!" Shiyu couldn't stand it either, and Ming couldn't stand it even more.

"Let's finish this quickly! Let's get out of here!" Ming said.

"Didn't you wear a mask?" Shiyu said.

"It's just a face mask, not a filter." Ming was speechless.

"Let's change back first! Don't scare them." Shiyu then deactivated the Transformation Technique with Mei.

Then Shiyu pulled open the levers holding the corpses one by one, and the people inside were pulled out.

"It's her! It's her! My mission is to rescue her!" Ming saw his mission target.

Suisen. Shiyu also saw her mission objective.

"Their chakra is extremely disordered, they're under Genjutsu and their body temperature is very low. Mei, quickly find something to burn." After giving the Shiyu, Shigure immediately said to the two, "Release!"

After the Genjutsu was dispelled, both of them opened their eyes.

"It's so cold. I'm freezing to death."

You are... You are Shiyu

Shiyu immediately stopped the two from continuing, saying, "Stop talking. Conserve your energy and body heat, or you'll freeze to death."

"By the way, let's unleash your potential! That should make things more comfortable." Shiyu directly absorbed a portion of their bloodline power, drawing out some of their potential.

Their expressions immediately improved considerably.

"Thank you

Mei somehow managed to procure some firewood, piled it up, and then Shiyu used Fire Style to ignite it, instantly raising the surrounding temperature considerably.

"My Fire Style is very powerful and hard to extinguish. We can hug them, get closer to the fire, and warm their stiff limbs." Shiyu then hugged Suisen, while Mei hugged another blue-haired girl for warmth.

Suisen was slightly stunned; it was the first time she had ever been so close to another boy.

"Shiyu, I never expected it would be you who came to save me," Suisen said softly.

"I'm Jonin Konoha, and my mission completion rate is 100%. I'm the most likely to rescue you," Shiyu said confidently.

"Really? Are you alright? How's Xiao Xing? I haven't heard from you in so long," Suisen said weakly.

"Even after all this, you're still thinking about others? As you can see, I've become Jonin, and Xiao Xing can extract chakra normally now. You were captured, but Xiao Xing has become a student at the Ninja Academy and will become a ninja sooner or later. I believe she can take care of herself."

"Really? I really envy Xiao Xing for having a brother like you. This time, I've really troubled you and your friends. "Suisen said, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Who's his friend?" Ming also denied it.

"Hey! There's no need to sabotage me!" Shiyu was also speechless.

"By the way, let's get down to business. Who brought you here, Suisen?" Shiyu asked.

"He... he's terrifying. He killed all those guards with ease, and even the Konoha Chunin squad was killed in a single encounter," Suisen said with some fear.

"Easily killed? I shouldn't be talking about Jiamu!" Ming immediately realized.

"The man not named Jiamu merely abducted me to him, intending to use me to exchange for the children's chance to live. However, that enemy was the most terrifying; he easily killed Jiamu and the others, and then captured me and brought me to this place. After that, I know nothing more."

Shiyu also analyzed, "Because you were under Genjutsu, you don't know anything. That makes sense. Jiamu was indeed a scapegoat. The enemy wanted to cut off the trail cleanly, or were they just bounty rivals? For the bounty, they waited until someone else succeeded before launching a surprise attack? How insidious!"

"And you?" Ming asked the blue-haired girl.

"My situation was similar. I was kidnapped first, and then all those people died. I was captured alive by another person. But I probably arrived earlier."

"So, the murderer is the same person!" Shiyu and Ming were absolutely convinced.

The fire in the bonfire finally went out, and the two men's body temperatures returned to normal, meaning they were no longer in danger.

"Next, we need to escape," Ming asked. "But how are we going to escape? The outside world is full of so-called bounty hunters."

"Don't worry, I already left the Flying Thunder God mark at the entrance. Just hold on to me." Shiyu said quite reliably.

"Alright!" The group grabbed Shiyu, and with a whoosh, they found that the scenery around them had changed, and they had arrived outside the bounty office.

"Amazing!" Ming exclaimed in admiration once again.

However, those who had obtained the bounty underground naturally noticed the anomaly, and they all came out to search for Shiyu and the others.

"They'll never find us again." Shiyu then used Flying Thunder God repeatedly, instantly leaving those people far behind.

"This Ninjutsu is amazing! It can actually move four people at the same time!" Everyone was very surprised.

After a while, Shiyu and the others had run quite far away.

"Although we can't relax yet, at least we can catch our breath. This mission can be considered a great success!" Shiyu has successfully completed the mission of rescuing the hostages.

"It's a pity we have to part ways," Ming said very quietly.

"What!?" Shiyu asked, equally surprised.
