Happy times are always short-lived, and after spending the thirty-sixth year of Konoha with Hikari Uchiha, Uchiha Yan walked towards Hokage's office with a reluctant expression.

At this time, like Yan, Jiu Sinai and Shuimen seemed to be a little disgusted. Obviously, the two of them have had a very comfortable year.

"Happy New Year!" Greeting the two, Yan asked, "How are you doing this year?" ”

"Needless to say!" Rolling his eyes, Jiu Sinai said, "It's almost the same as before, I'm very happy!" ”

"Let's go! Let's start our first mission of the new year! Here, Jiraiya walked up the stairs at the other end and greeted the three of them.

After that, they walked into the Hokage's office together, and the four of them accepted a C-class mission with ease. Task reward, 10,000 taels.

……

"That's it! This task is up to you! Lead the way, ma'am! Here, Sarufei said to an ordinary woman.

"Looking for someone~~!" With a sigh of relief, Yan listened to the Hokage's description, looked at the rural woman again, and said, "We ninjas are professionals in this kind of thing!" ”

"Really?" There was still a trace of sorrow on the woman's face, and she reluctantly said to Jiraiya, "Then I'll leave it to you!" ”

After that, they prepared their luggage to leave the village, followed the woman's steps, and the four of them came to the outside of the village.

"That's right! Ma'am, the person you are looking for is your son. So, do you have a picture of your son? "Here, walking on the road, Jiraiya asked for information about the mission.

"Shine...... Photo? The woman dressed in the countryside was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head and said, "How can we have such a thing there?" ”

"No photos? That's a bit of a hassle to find someone! Hearing this, Jiu Sinai said with a frown.

In this regard, Yan, who had been paying attention to the woman, could clearly feel that when Jiu Sinai said these words, tears began to rise in the woman's eyes.

"Alas~" sighed softly, Yan had to say out loud: "It's a bit troublesome to have no photos, but it's okay to know your appearance, height, weight, and clothing." If you don't have any of that, even if it's the clothes you're wearing, that's fine. ”

"Just clothes?" The woman looked puzzled.

"Yes, to be crossed. We ninjas will raise a ninja beast, and the ninja beast can find others through smell. Yan Zhengsedao.

"Wait! Yan, when did you have a ninja beast? Here, Jiu Sinai asked curiously.

"Is it during the Chinese New Year?" At this time, Watergate also asked.

"Sort of!" Yan Ling said ambiguously: "My ninja beasts are a family of cats, and their noses are very sensitive. As long as the aunt has his son's clothes, I can find him. ”

At this time, with Yan's words, the worry on the woman's face disappeared somewhat.

After that, the five of them stopped and stopped, using the transportation of the Fire Country, and it took them two days to finally arrive at the village where the woman was, the Ugly Cow Village.

"The road is not badly paved!" Taking a step out and stepping on the concrete-paved road, Yan thought to himself that when it rained in this village, the road should not be too difficult to walk.

"In the past two years, the government has been very diligent in building roads, even in a small village like ours, they have built roads here." At this point, the woman explained to Yan. And from the tone of the woman's voice, it can be seen that she is very satisfied with the government of the Fire Country.

Then, walking along the concrete road, a sizable village appeared in the eyes of everyone.

"The living conditions should be good!" Walking into the village, Yan observed the living conditions of the villagers, and drew conclusions in his heart.

"Ninja-sama!" Yan was secretly looking at the villagers, but the villagers were looking at them openly. And, when the group approached, both adults and children greeted each other very politely.

"Huh! Your village is so welcoming! Seeing that the passers-by on the road were greeting them, Jiraiya smiled at the woman and said.

"It's not that everyone is so welcoming...... "The woman explained, "More than a decade ago, there were ninjas from Konoha who passed through our village. At that time, our village happened to be attacked by a gang of robbers. Then, Konoha's ninja defeated the bandits, and we were all grateful and wanted to thank her. ”

However, she didn't accept it, she just said that if she encountered difficulties that could not be solved, she could walk east for ten days, where there was a Konoha village to ask for. Of course, now that it's open to traffic, it won't take more than ten days to get to Konoha. ”

"I see!" Nodding, Jiraiya smiled and asked, "What is the name of that Konoha ninja, do you still know?" ”

"I'm going to think about it......" The woman pondered for a moment in response to Jiraiya's question. In the end, she said: "I forgot it, it's been more than ten years!" If she had appeared in front of me, I would have recognized her. ”

"Father-in-law! Mother-in-law! Then she came to a tall wooden house, and the woman knocked and shouted at the iron gate.

"Squeak~~" It didn't take long for the iron door to open, and an old man with gray hair and a cane opened the door.

"Hello, old man (old man)!" The four of them greeted each other.

"My father-in-law is the village chief of Ugly Cow Village...... here, the woman said.

"Ahh It's the village chief! Hello Village Chief! Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, and then replied.

"It doesn't matter if the village chief is not the village chief. O ninjas of Konoha! You're coming! Here, after seeing the forehead guard on Jiraiya's forehead, the old man excitedly shook Jiraiya's hand.

Then, after some politeness, Jiraiya began to inquire about the details of the woman's son, the old man's grandson.

Before, everyone had learned that the woman's son was called Shan Dalang, and he was the most powerful hunter in Ugly Niu Village. What hand-to-hand fight bears, hand-to-hand tearing tigers and leopards in his hands, are all easy things.

Most of the income of the Yamataro family comes from a variety of precious and intact animal skins. Use great power to kill a tiger with your bare hands, and after the tiger's skin is completely peeled off, it can be sold for a high price of 400,000 taels outside.

"Four hundred thousand taels?" Suddenly hearing this number, Yan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "What kind of ninja am I doing!" If I fight a big tiger, won't I be able to make a fortune quickly. ”

"Give! This is my eldest grandson's clothes, he is missing in the West Mountain, please! Handing over the clothes in his hand, the old man said to the four of them.

"Ah Yan, I'll leave it to you!" After taking Yama Dalang's clothes, Jiraiya, Jiu Sinai, and Shuimen looked at Yan and said.
