New faces and Old Faces

Naruto and Sirius continued their journey to Web Valley. Naruto planted a few light particles when he attacked Basil and after doing this job, he is going to tend to that.

It's been over a month since Naruto left his Guild and started doing jobs. He did them continuously without going back to Fairy Tail. He would send Makarov a word of his whereabouts from time to time to keep in touch.

"Looks like we have reached the location," said Naruto, looking at the job request. According to it, they should meet their client at the entrance of Web Valley.

"Hey, who are you?" Asked a man. Naruto and Sirius turned back to see a young man.

He has amber eyes and dark hair that reaches just past his jaw. His attire consists of a grey long-sleeved shirt underneath a white sleeveless top as well as a pair of dark pants and short boots.

He also wears a pair of glasses with light frames. He looks more feminine than a male. Naruto coughed and to get himself back to the present.

"We are here on a job," said Naruto. The man had a confused look on his face and after a second, realisation struck him and his face lightened.

"Yes, that job request. My name is Kain. My brother was the one who sent it, but he went missing as well" he said sadly.

"Don't worry, we'll find him, Kain" assured Naruto.

"So can you tell me what happened?" Asked Naruto.

"It started suddenly. One of the experienced guides took a group of visitors to show the valley. The valley being naturally made up, makes a wonderful tourist attraction, days passed and they didn't return. People started hearing weird noises after that. I don't know what they are as my brother didn't allow me to go in, but they all said the same thing, the voice would come out of nowhere and silence follows. After that, the person disappears. My brother had become one of the victims in recent days. After posting the request, he went to bring some wood for fire and I heard a scream, but he didn't return after that. I got worried, but couldn't get in myself" he said in a bitter and sorrowful tone.

'Ok, so people are disappearing, but they don't know why and even our client disappeared. Hmm, what a unique case' thought Naruto. He looked at Sirius and the young Jaguar was looking at him expectantly.

"Ok, man. We'll scout for any clues in the Valley. You stay here. Don't worry, we'll return after we find your brother and others" said Naruto and made his way into the entrance.

"Wait! Are you sure you can handle this?" 

"Dude, I'm a S-class mage. So don't worry" said Naruto and walked into the Valley. The moment he stepped in, he felt his surroundings disappear as if they were merged. All the hills look alike and to new visitors, it is easy to get lost.

"Interesting, there is something here. This Valley is large and difficult to traverse across" said Naruto, calculating things in his mind.

"That may be to anyone, not us," said Sirius confidently. Naruto nodded in confirmation. He sat in a cross-legged position and concentrated.

"Earth Dragon's: Secret Art: Earth Plate," said Naruto. This technique allows the user to sense anything within a large area. Naruto can cover all the Web Valley with this technique easily.

It could not only show directions but also pick life forms within range. This technique also measures the distance between the user and other life forms as well.

"Interesting," said Naruto.

"What's going on?" 

"It looks like someone is playing their cards here. Nearly 30 Km from here in the northwest there is a base. There were at least 100 people there. If my guess is correct, then all the missing people are captives there" 

"100 people huh, from what that guy said, the missing people account for 60 people, so at least 40 men are guarding them" concluded Sirius.

"Yes, and all of them are low B-class and one of them is High A, and it seems a small barrier is surrounding making it hard to find out" said Naruto. Generally, B-class are not much of a threat. But if they are in a group, that's a different matter entirely. In this case, all these people pose a Low S-class threat, but that is not a big problem for Naruto.

"Let's take rest here. I'll send my clones and see what else is going on" said Naruto and 20 Clones popped into existence.

"You know what to do, move out," said Naruto. With a 'Hai' they left in Shunshin.
