Chapter 35 Orphanage (Ch 695146468)

The four members of the fifth team followed the mission clues and came to the town where the mission was issued. The person who issued the mission was a local wealthy businessman. The missing person was his only son, named Xiaochun, who was only 4 years old. Because he was his only son, he was willing to spend a lot of money to issue a C-level mission.

It has actually been more than three days since the child went missing, and even the rich businessman himself has lost hope.

Yi Chen and the other three first went to gather information separately, and then met at an entrance of the town.

According to the clues received by everyone, Xiaochun was near this entrance when he last appeared in everyone’s sight.

In the fifth class, Yi Chen, who had chosen this mission against all odds, had to actively perform: “Since Xiaochun was last seen near this entrance, he must have left through this entrance. Whether he left on his own or was captured by someone, we have to follow this path to track him down.”

The other three did not object, so the four of them left the town and began searching for clues on the road.

The traces from three days ago were difficult to find, and the group didn’t hold out much hope. But after searching along the road for a while, they found something.

It turns out that the world outside is not peaceful, and children seldom travel far. This is even more obvious in remote towns like this one.

Therefore, the footprints on the road are mostly from adults, and there are not many teenagers like Yi Chen and his friends.

The footprints of a 4-year-old child were even rarer. But now the four people in the fifth team found such footprints on the road a few miles away from the town. Yi Chen and the other four were immediately excited.

“There were no child’s footprints when we came here, and there were none further ahead. The child must have been held by someone. These footprints must have been left when they were resting.” Yi Chen took the initiative to analyze and circled around the area. “The footprints on the side should have been left by an adult who was resting with Xiaochun. Looking at his footprints, the way we came here and the way ahead are slightly deeper, but this part is lighter. I guess it’s because this person was holding a child all the way. So I suggest that we search for this footprint next.”

Tian Na and Shinohara also agreed with Yi Chen’s analysis, and Huang Tu did not raise any objections, so Team 5 began to track forward. This time they had a clear target and the speed was much faster. Everyone just had to run forward quickly for a while and then confirm that the footprints were still there.

After chasing and stopping for a long time, Yichen and his party finally arrived at a village far away from the town. In order to prevent any accidents, Yichen and his party did not rush into the village. Instead, under Huangtu’s suggestion, Yichen first sensed the situation in the village.

Yi Chen was stunned for a moment, then he realized, yes, I am also dead. Due to the limited perception range, after several people sneaked to the vicinity of the village, Yi Chen hid outside a house and began to perform perception ninjutsu.

The perception speed is very fast. Yi Chen said: “There are no ninjas on this side of the village. My perception limit is 300 meters. I have to go to the other side to perceive it again.

Huang Tu and the other two nodded, and then the four people from Class 5 went around to the other side to sense it.

“There are only a few hundred people in the village, and there are no ninjas. We just checked the other entrances and exits of the village, and we didn’t see the footprints anymore, which means the child should be in the village.” After saying that, Yi Chen looked at Huang Tu, “Captain Huang Tu, what should we do in this situation?”

Huang Tu smiled and said: “We are ninjas, not officials solving cases. We can take some direct measures.” After that, he led the three people into the village openly.

Ninjas are not a particularly popular profession among ordinary people, but the fifth team members all wore the village’s forehead protectors, so the villagers did not reject them. Instead, they guided them to the village chief’s house.

Huang Tu went straight to the point and explained his purpose to the village chief.

The village chief was a man who had seen a lot of things, and since the ninjas had come to his doorstep, he didn’t dare to hide anything and just told them what he knew.

It turned out that two days ago, someone had kidnapped a child and brought him to the village. He lied that he couldn’t make ends meet and wanted to sell the child. It happened that a family in the village wanted a son, so they bought the child directly.

The village chief was at the scene at the time. With his keen eyesight, he could tell that the kidnapper was lying. The child was dressed much better than him, and was white and plump. He looked like a child from a rich family. It was estimated that the kidnapper had chosen the child well in advance before bringing him here. However, the village chief did not expose him. After all, it was not a bad thing to have more boys in his village.

Hearing this, Yi Chen hurriedly asked: “In that case, which family is the child in now?”

Unexpectedly, the village chief said at this time: “The child is no longer in the village. Because the child did not like the food of that family and kept crying. The family had no choice but to ask the kidnapper to return the money, but the kidnapper refused. The two sides quarreled for a while and were deadlocked. Then a young nun came to the village. She said she had an orphanage in Zhuchang Town and she was willing to take in the child. But she didn’t have much money. Later, the kidnapper also returned part of the money, and the matter was over.”

This time it was Xiao Yuan who couldn’t wait any longer: “Village Chief, has the nun left?”

The village chief nodded and said, “They left, taking the children with them. Judging from the direction they were heading, they should be heading back to Zhuchang Town.”

The four of them were relieved, at least Xiaochun was safe. Yichen confirmed the child’s appearance and clothing with the village chief, and after confirming that both were correct, the four of them rushed to Zhuchang Town.

In the evening, the group arrived at Zhuchang Town. Yi Chen could not get to the heart of such a big town, so he did not waste time. He directly asked about the location of the orphanage and went to his destination.

The orphanage is located in a corner of Zhuchang Town. The house is very simple. Yi Chen used perception ninjutsu to explore the door and found that there were more than twenty children and three adults inside.

Seeing the four ninjas coming, the people in the orphanage became a little nervous and quickly called out their manager.

The person who came out was a young nun with brown hair and a pair of particularly large glasses. She was an extremely beautiful young woman.

When Yi Chen saw this man, his eyes widened for a moment and he almost shouted “Pharmacist Nono”, but fortunately he suppressed it in time.

However, various thoughts kept flashing through his mind, thinking about how to use the identity of pharmacist Nono to gain some benefits for himself.

While Yi Chen’s thoughts were in a mess, Huang Tu’s negotiation with Ye Nou was going smoothly. Ye Nou led a child out of the house, and several other children followed behind him and peeked curiously. When Huang Tu and his friends saw the appearance of the little boy Ye Nou was holding, they knew that it was Xiao Chun they were looking for.

Tian Nai hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xiao Chun over, and Huang Tu also thanked the gentle and beautiful nun.

When Huang Tu was about to say goodbye, Yi Chen suddenly threw a shuriken at a child, who was one of the people who had secretly followed Xiao Chun out just now.

Tiannai and Shinohara were both shocked. Huangtu also saw it. He was able to stop it, but he raised his hand and then put it down again.

The shuriken rushed towards the child at a very fast speed, and then suddenly stopped in front of the child. It turned out that there was a very thin steel wire behind the shuriken, and one end of the steel wire was being pulled by Yi Chen.

Yichen shook his wrist and the shuriken flew back. Everything happened suddenly, and only then did Xiaoyuan curse: “Yichen, who are you trying to scare? What do you want to do?”

Yi Chen ignored him and glanced at Huangtu. Sure enough, Huangtu was no longer as polite as before, but looked at the nun opposite with a serious expression.

The moment the shuriken flew towards the child, the nun’s eyes quickly glanced at the shuriken, and then instantly shifted away. During the whole process, there was no chakra fluctuation, and the muscles of the whole body were not tense at all. Like a real ordinary person, and afterward, like everyone else, she seemed to react and ran towards the frightened child. While comforting him, she looked at the four people of Team 5 warily in the way ordinary people do.

But Huang Tu, as a senior ninja, was the first to notice the look in the nun’s eyes. This was a reaction speed that only a ninja with a high combat power could have. Huang Tu was sure that the other party must have noticed the steel wire behind the shuriken at the first time.

As for the series of disguises that followed, it only shows how terrifying this nun is.

Looking at the messy orphanage, Huang Tu apologized to them, then left with Yi Chen and the other two.

After leaving the orphanage, Yutana held Xiaochun in her arms, and the few of them quickly climbed over the wall of the town not far away.

Then Huang Tu shouted at Yi Chen: “Yi Chen!”

Yi Chen nodded, and squatted down to perform the perception ninjutsu. About a minute later, Yi Chen said, “She’s here.”

In fact, in Yi Chen’s perception just now, Yakushi Nono had no chakra fluctuations until the moment she climbed over the wall, and then he felt something strange. She is indeed a walking shrine maiden, and the quality she showed today deserves this title.

At this time, Tiannai and Shinohara also noticed something was wrong and looked at the town wall together. Sure enough, the nun jumped over lightly. “Is it a ninja?” Tiannai and Shinohara were both surprised.

Huang Tu looked at the other party and said in a low voice: “Your identity.”

Nono shook his head, indicating that he would not answer.

Huang Tu, who didn’t get an answer, stopped talking and rushed towards her.

Nono did not retreat, but faced the enemy head-on. Although her hands were empty, they were wrapped in a layer of green chakra. She used her palms as knives and fought with Huang Tu in physical skills.

At this time, Yi Chen has been maintaining the state of perceiving ninjutsu. He is monitoring the orphanage. If this Nono is a clone, then if the original wants to leave the orphanage, he will definitely be able to find it in the first place. Although the other party can hide the chakra breath, the life breath cannot be hidden. If the orphanage loses a living being, it will definitely not escape Yi Chen’s perception, because the fake person created by the clone technique is different from the real person in the perceiving ninjutsu.

At the same time, Yi Chen can also help Huang Tu confirm that the Ye Nou who is fighting against him will not use deceptive tricks such as the clone technique.

The two were both at the level of a jonin, so it was difficult for Yichen and the other two to intervene, and if they did, they would become a burden. So they all stood guard outside.

The two fought for a while. Huang Tu, who was already stronger, began to increase his offensive in a targeted manner after figuring out Nono’s tactics.

Nonoyu gradually became more and more exhausted, until he was forced to jump into the air by Huangtu’s punch. At this time, Yichen, who had predicted it in advance, growled: “Throw it.”

Shinohara and Tiana threw out four or five shurikens at the same time. Nono, who was in the air, twisted her body forcefully to avoid most of the shurikens, and used a chakra scalpel to deflect the rest.

However, due to this delay, the next wave of Huangtu’s attack had already arrived. Ye Noyu was already at a disadvantage, and was attacked by Huangtu who had seized the initiative. He could no longer hold on. He was soon injured by Huangtu, and after several heavy blows, he could no longer stand up.
