Chapter 146
Ino looked at Afei with some suspicion, and decided to believe what her friend said for the time being.
Haruno Sakura quickly pulled her to Shikamaru and interrupted her questioning.
She looked at the two of them and said, "I haven't asked you why you came here yet?"
This place is full of pirates, it's not a good place.
It stands to reason that these rookie Genin who have just started out for a short time will not accept such a high-risk mission even if they have a teacher to lead them.
However, the three of them are still short of one person, and just now she vaguely heard them mention Choji, so she probably guessed something.
Shikamaru looked at Haruno Sakura, and before he could say anything, Afei raised his hand and came over like a treasure.
"Ah, just now I wanted to say, Sakura-senpai, as your most lovely partner, you are not going to introduce Afei to your friends?"
Afei's words, coupled with his childish and funny movements, immediately shocked Ino and Shikamaru.
Neither of them expected that this big guy would be in this style, which was a bit eye-catching.
Sakura Haruno glanced at A Fei. He was so quiet just now that she almost forgot about this guy.
But she was not interested in pretending to be a heartless person who cut off ties in front of him. It was meaningless.
Because Bai Zetsu was there, they must have investigated her interpersonal relationships very clearly, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.
Sakura Haruno pushed A Fei away directly, "Go away, don't disturb us!"
Ignoring A Fei's obvious pretending to be aggrieved, she looked directly at Ino and Shikamaru, motioning them to answer the questions just now.
Ino and Shikamaru watched Sakura Haruno treat this strange masked man "completely", and they felt a little tired for Sakura Haruno.
Ino looked at A Fei with doubt in her eyes. Would such a partner who seemed to have a low IQ really be of any help to Sakura?
Shikamaru looked at A Fei with some strangeness. He always felt that this guy named A Fei was a little weird.
Shikamaru turned his gaze to Haruno Sakura and said, "We are actually here to look for Choji."
Haruno Sakura was not surprised, "So Choji is in the carriage just now?"
Shikamaru seemed to have regained some of his composure at this time, and he looked a little listless and unmotivated.
Shikamaru sighed helplessly and nodded, "It's a long story."
Ino saw that he looked unmotivated, and quickly took over the conversation and said:
"Let me tell you! This has to start with an escort mission we took on. Our mission is to escort the client to the Land of Water."
"But after we got on the ship, we encountered pirates robbing us, and those people seemed to be coming for the client."
"Originally, Asuma-sensei and we quickly controlled them after fighting with them."
"But two strange ninjas suddenly appeared behind us, and they are very powerful , but for some reason, the two men just rescued the people and covered the pirates and left. "
"But when everyone came to their senses, they found that Choji had been captured."
"Asuma wanted to find someone, but the client seemed to be frightened and refused to let Asuma leave. "
"So Shikamaru and I had to follow the pirate ship all the way to this island. We searched here for a long time last night before we found the traces of the pirates."
Haruno Sakura was thoughtful after listening. Why did the people the pirates in the eye of the storm look so subtle!
Ino seemed to remember something strange, and added with a tangled look:
"Those two strange ninjas seem to be wearing the same outer robes as you! Is this kind of ninja outerwear popular now?"
Shikamaru looked at Haruno Sakura and Afei. They were indeed in the same style, but he thought it was unlikely that they would wear the same clothes.
Ah Fei finally found the opportunity to speak, and quickly stuck his head out and said, "Hey, are those two seniors here too?"
Haruno Sakura glanced at him, and Ah Fei quickly shut up and squatted aside to plant mushrooms.
She turned to Ino with some helplessness and replied:
"The two people you saw should be my colleagues in the same organization. Now I have joined an organization, and you will know later, but it has to be kept secret for now."
I just don't know if she will be abandoned by her friends and relatives after the Akatsuki organization is exposed in the future, and whether her friends are willing to believe her.
Now she is a little exhausted just thinking about the future situation. But now is not the time to think about these things, and she has to solve the problems in front of her first.
"None of these are important, your top priority should be to rescue Choji!"
She and Choji are not close friends, but they can be regarded as childhood playmates, so she is not so bad as to watch them die.
But there is still a problem before thisShe wanted to know, so she asked directly.
"Do you know why those pirates went after your client?"
It was only after she asked that she realized that this question seemed to involve the secrets of the mission, and the ninjas of the ninja village seemed not to be able to disclose the client's information at will.
Ino felt that there was nothing she couldn't say, since they didn't know anyway.
"We don't know either, and the client didn't say it, but they looked like they wanted to force the client to ask something!"
At this juncture when the treasure map was revealed, Eric felt that what he wanted to know urgently was related to this.
Haruno Sakura put one hand on her chest and touched her chin with the other hand, with deep thought in her eyes.
After a long time, she said, "So your client has something to do with the descendants of the Siren?"
Hearing Haruno Sakura say this, Shikamaru frowned, and he seemed to have thought of something.
"You are not talking about the famous Siren of the Pirate King in history, right? Why did you mention him?"
Ino grabbed Haruno Sakura's Akatsuki robe and reminded her, "Sakura, aren't we going to talk about saving Choji? Don't get sidetracked!"
Haruno Sakura came back to her senses after being pulled by her.
It's not that she doesn't care, but she thinks that Choji will probably be fine in such a short time.
When she checked before, she found that the people in the carriage were fine, but they were in a coma.
"Ino, relax! Even if it's for a good price, Choji won't be in any trouble for a while."
And an auction can't be carried out immediately. There must be preparation time, and publicity is needed to maximize the benefits.
Ino's anxiety dissipated a lot when she heard Haruno Sakura say this.
"But let's put the client's matter aside for now and discuss it later. It's really important to save Choji now."
Shikamaru certainly had no objection, and he nodded in agreement.
Haruno Sakura glanced at Shikamaru and felt that he had already thought of a solution. She had to admit that this guy had the smartest brain among them.
"Shikamaru, you should have thought of a way to save people, right? Tell me about it!"
