Capítulo 18: 18 Speculations
Swish!!
Through the dense forest, under the setting sun jumped out four figures, landing on the dusty ground.
"It sure is scary!"
A few meters ahead of them, was a huge deep ravine, quite wide as well, Sayuri finding it quite scary.
On the other side of the ravine, a huge wall could be seen, a big tightly shut wooden door carved into the wall, also on the other side was a bridge standing tall, bounded by chains.
On top of the huge wall stood two figures, swords hanging down at there waists, though both of them looked wounded, white bandages all over their bodies.
"That wooden gate is the entrance, but to even reach that side unless you are a ninja, it's impossible"
"The only way for civilians to cross is through that bridge on the other side, but during the night the bridge is pulled upward and it is only possible to do so from the other side"
"The bandits attacked during the night and successfully infiltrated the town which should have been impossible unless...?"
Danzo didn't complete his words and turned to look towards the three, leaving the next for them to think.
"Unless someone from the town helped them!"
Said Sayuri quickly, guessing what Danzo wanted to say.
"But what if the bandits had sneaked into the town during the day disguised?"
Questioned Shinku suddenly, to him it was too early to conclude someone from the town was helping them.
"During the day, at the entrance whether it's civilians or business men, they are thoroughly checked, same goes for the stuff they bring, weapons are not allowed in the town"
"Even if bandits had disguised, how did they take weapons inside?, during the attack all of them were armed according to the information!"
Said Danzo to the question of Shinku, he had already thought about this aspect, right know he was just testing the intellectual ability of his students.
"I guess we can also rule out the possibility of sneaking weapons in with a ninja scroll, if everything was searched, they should have seen it as well"
"Without revealing the contents inside, it's probably not allowed in, so we can come to two possible outcomes"
At this time Naoki spoke up as well, after thinking thoroughly and reviewing every aspect according to current availability information.
The other immediately focused on Naoki, Sayuri especially waiting for the his analysis, both her teammates seemed quite good at using there brain as well.
"If they did sneak in during the day, then obviously someone from the town provided them weapons"
"And if they attacked during night, then it's again obvious someone lowered the bridge for them"
"In any of these two cases, it's clear there is a hidden enemy, we better watch our backs"
Said Naoki in a serious tone, his first task as a shinobi was turning out to be quite something, they haven't even met the client yet and it had gotten so dangerous already.
"Really a brain frying task!"
Sayuri had similar thoughts, she was expecting at least the first mission to not to be this tough, already requiring her to think so much, with so much still left to figure out.
"Exactly, for a ninja the earlier he develops a sense of danger, the better, being always at guard is necessary"
"Now let's go in"
Saying that Danzo stepped forward and arrived at the edge of the ravine, eyes on the two figures on the wall.
Eyeing the two, Danzo rummaged through the ninja bag on his waist and took out a scroll, opening it as next moment he faced it towards the two figures, lifting it high.
The two figures seemed to have long noticed them, though at the actions of danzo one of them took out a telescope and focused at him.
Next moment, he put it away and said something to his partner, the distance making it unable to hear anything.
"Thwack!!
Both the figures soon disappeared from the top of the wall, and the suspended bridge on the other side began to lower down.
The bridge in a few seconds lowered completely, connecting both sides as the four of them stepped on it, successfully crossing the ravine.
"Glin!"
By the time the four reached the other side, the huge wooden door was also pushed open completely, a few figures walking out, leading them a bald old man with long white beard.
"Ninja -Sama, you have arrived finally!!"
Arriving before them, the old man spoke up in a loud voice, his tone full of relief, hope.
"You must be the town chief, I'm a jonin from leaf village and these three are genin under me"
"We'll be taking the task, so we would like to hear everything that occurred in details first before we look for clues to rescue the mission target!"
Danzo didn't waste time and went straight to the main topic after a brief introduction.
