" If we were friends, it would be ridiculous if we were always hanging out with kids…But there's a guy called Kigamaru. Ever since he heard that I lived in Naruto's house, he kept pestering me. I don't know why…"
Kogyamaru…
" He's the grandson of the third generation Naruto-"
"Ah?"
"You always say that you want to be Naruto's child, and because you have the same dream as Naruto, you treat Naruto as your opponent! On the one hand, he calls me boss, but on the other hand, he doesn't admit defeat. That child..."
" I used to play ninja games with the third-generation successor, hoping to defeat him. Now, I've lost my innocence…"
"What's wrong?"
"Hehe, don't you know that the third generation was sacrificed in the Kogaha incident a few months ago…Now, no one is a match for Kogaha Maru anymore!”
Aoi fell silent. It seemed that he could understand the sadness and unyielding look that occasionally appeared in Kinoha Maru's eyes.
"Kui, although I don't know what you're thinking, I have to tell you what's on my mind.”
Although my tone was very calm, Kui sat up straight and listened.
"Perhaps you think that life in Hino Village is not exciting, or perhaps you think that living in seclusion is not your pursuit, but have you ever thought about how happy it is to live a peaceful life? Marry a wife, have children, work hard, and grow old together. Such a simple life was something that many people wanted to pursue but could not achieve!”
Shikamaru's face appeared in my mind. His brows were always tightly knitted, telling me his desire for a peaceful life.
"As a ninja, there are too many things you have to bear…Have you ever experienced the helplessness of having your beloved companions die? When you lose something important in your life, that empty feeling will freeze your heart…"
Therefore, I will never let the people around me die! I swear!
"Kui, think about it. Do you really want to be a ninja?”
Sunflower remained silent.
For a moment, my mood became heavy.
She quietly cleared the bowls and chopsticks and took out the chessboard." Come on, I haven't played chess in a long time!”
As soon as he set up the chess pieces, he heard the sharp chirping of birds coming from outside the window.
A messenger bird? Naruto's summons?
She stood up from the chair with a swoosh." Kui, stay at home and don't go out! I'm leaving!"
He hurriedly rushed out of the door and went straight to the Fire Shadow Manor through the rows of roofs.
The Jounin and Jounin of Muye had arrived one after another.
As a Genin, there was no need for me to accept the summoning order. Seeing the strange gazes of the Chuunins, I also felt that I was a little too enthusiastic…
Okami didn't care about this. Seeing that everyone was almost here, he began to speak.
"Urgent mission!" He was always so imposing.
"The Forest Country's daimyo has already submitted a letter of credence to the Fire Country's daimyo, declaring that it will forever be a neutral country that will be dependent on our country. Although it was a neutral country, the agreement had already stated that during wartime, it would not lend the passage to any country other than the Fire Country. Therefore, our country had the obligation to protect the safety of the Forest Country!”
No one had much of a reaction.
"The Hino family, a ninja family that has lived in seclusion for many years in the Forest Country, has announced that they will restore their ninja status. As a symbol and condition of the Forest Country's surrender, they will join the Muye Ninja Village!”
This time, the room was in an uproar.
Although they were all from the same village, there were also interests between different families. Mu Ye was slightly better off. In the other Ninja villages, the fights between the clans were bloody and naked. Therefore, everyone felt threatened by the fact that a new family would enter Muye.
"The people here are the elites of the various races! I will give the Hino family the same status as the original Koba family. No one is allowed to discriminate against or exclude the Hino family!”
Tsunei decisively gave the order. In fact, I also understand that in the upcoming chaotic world, the status and power of the family will be determined by battle achievements.
I understood, and so did everyone else. Therefore, after the commotion, it quickly quieted down.
"Hino's family will be moving to Kiba in the near future. Their village chief, oh, now called the chief, has already asked us to send someone to pick them up. Because they had long been coveted by the various major factions, and there were even people from Orochimaru mixed in, so the journey was likely to be very dangerous!”
"We will now form three ten-man squadrons.”
"Yes ~~ Yes!" Oh my god, why is it on my head?
"In charge of welcoming and escorting Hino and his family back to Kiba.”
"Second group, Kakashi will lead!"
"Yes, sir!"
"In charge of hiding in the dark and repelling the enemies who are following and harassing us.”
" Group three, Red Bean will lead!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Stay in Muye and wait for orders.”
The three of them accepted the order.
I brought Shikamaru and Yoshiji to the 1st Squadron, while Ya and Shino, who were good at scouting, and Sakura, who had mastered healing ninjutsu, were left to Kakashi. As for Iruka, who was still a teacher at the Ninja School, he was naturally assigned to the 3rd Red Squadron.
I'm not familiar with the others!
What a failure! He had been here for more than half a year, but he still knew very few people. Perhaps it was because of the guidance of the ADC, but also because the ninja's life was too dull.
Because he was afraid that the news would leak out (in fact, it was impossible not to leak out), Tsunei asked us to set off as soon as possible.
"In that case, the first team will be given a night to rest and organize themselves. We will gather at the village entrance at sunrise tomorrow.”
In front of Huo Ying Manor, he dismissed his squadron and walked towards his dormitory uneasily. However, she always felt uneasy and finally returned.
"Master Tsunei, why did you make me the captain? It was very abrupt! I'm just enduring!"
"Genin?" Okami didn't answer my question directly.
"I just thought that you would be more familiar with the people of Hino Village. If you were in charge of welcoming them, they would feel more at ease.”
"Alright, go and prepare!"
Just as I turned around, Tsunei called out to me again.
"Hey, speaking of which, I forgot to ask you about the purple lotus flower last time. He wondered how it was going.”
If Tsunei didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about it…I haven't seen it for almost a month…
"Ah, Lord Tsunete, the last time I went there, it had already sprouted…I used a special cultivation method to try to grow a black lotus as soon as possible…Then, I'll leave first!”He hurriedly slipped away.
I first ran to tell Kui that Kakashi and I had accepted a mission and would be leaving the village for a period of time. At the same time, I took away the shogi that I had left at his place. Then, I ignored the darkness and ran to the herb garden.
She knocked on the door of the greenhouse in embarrassment.
"I'm really sorry! Qingshan!"
As he said that, he ran to the shelf and started to take out the crystal water. He took out everything from the bag and felt that it was not enough, so he made more. As he made the water, he explained,"I suddenly have to go on a mission. If I come tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time for the gathering. I can only disturb you at night.”
"Please don't say that. However, it's true that you haven't come to see the lotus for a long time! Didn't you notice anything different?”
"Eh?" Could it be…I immediately put down the crystal water in my hand and ran over to take a look.
"Ya! Ah! It's blooming!"
Although it was only a flower bud, the bright colors on the green leaves immediately made a difference!
Unfortunately, they were all purple!
"Then, remember to cross-pollinate after the pollen is ripe! I'll leave everything to you!"
It was almost midnight when he returned home. He kept thinking about the mission and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Seeing that it was almost dawn, he decided to go to the village entrance and wait.
Although it was already spring, it was still cold in the early hours of the morning. Summoning Spike, he hugged it and leaned against the village gate. He actually fell asleep just like that.
"Hey! Captain Youyou?"
Who's screaming…I felt the thorn in my chest move and opened my eyes unwillingly.
What was this? It seems to be the Mystic Moon Clouds? Although he didn't have many scenes, she could feel that he was a gentle and sensitive person. Moreover, he looked very handsome! It looked very comfortable!
Ah, he was still thinking nonsense. How embarrassing. As the captain, he fell asleep here.
She quickly stood up and tidied up her appearance.
"Uh, the Yun Nation, have you been here for a long time?”He looked at the sky." It's not time to gather yet?”
Fortunately, no one else saw me.
"I came with the second team. They've already set off!”
Gosh, that means the second team saw me…
"When Lady Youyou is sleeping soundly, she looks so peaceful and beautiful. She really doesn't look like a ninja!”Mystic Moon Out of Clouds seemed to have noticed my awkwardness.
"Ah ~" I blushed at his words. Fortunately, the sun had risen at this time.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The members of the first team appeared one after another.
I, Shikamaru, Ningci, Mystic Moon Out of Clouds, Gangzi Tie, and the others…I can only apologize.
However, they all looked like gentle people. Such a team was really suitable as a welcoming team! However, other than me, everyone else is in the Chuunin formation... Without the assistance of the second team, it's hard to say if we can safely return to Kiba.
Anyway, let's go!
The last time I went to Aomori, I spent five days on the road. This time, I was in a hurry. Other than arranging for Ning Ci and another Chuunin to take turns to guard, I was very free as the team leader. After all, there was still the hidden Kakashi team. Being on guard was just for show.
However, he had secretly asked Shikamaru about possible problems. How could he abandon such a talented person with such a high IQ!
The rest of the time, he mainly introduced the situation of the villages near Aomori to the team, the terrain, the industries, and so on. He also introduced the specialties of the Hino family, blood successors, and so on. They listened very seriously.
Nothing happened along the way. We arrived at Hinomura in three days. Village Chief Masao had already received a report from the scouts and was waiting for us at the village entrance.
"Miss Youyou! It's really you! That's great!"
"Village Chief Zheng Xiong, we are a family from now on.”
There were only 30 to 40 residents in Hinura. It could be said that all the people were training their own people as soldiers. Moreover, there were many traps, so it was very safe as long as they did not leave the village.
"Then, have a good rest tonight! We are ready to leave with you at any time.”
"Then, I'll leave it to you tonight!"
Our people are indeed a little tired from the continuous journey.
I'll go find Shikamaru after helping Chief Masao arrange the team members.
"Shikamaru, which faction do you think is most likely to attack us?”
"Teacher Youyou, actually, after careful analysis, our trip should be very safe. Yin Yin and Yin Xue were no longer interested in the Blood Successor and the secret arts. The only country that needed the help of Dawson's Country in the War of the Ninja Realm was the Country of Thunder. However, the Country of Thunder was still close to Muye. Therefore, once an enemy comes, it will definitely be someone we don't understand and are unfamiliar with.”
"The more you talk, the more worried I am…"
"Hehe, how can there be a foolproof plan in this world? We'll just have to improvise when the time comes.”
"Yes, I am. That's right, plans didn't change as quickly as changes!”He casually said the catchphrase from his previous life.
" Teacher Youyou's words are really insightful…" Shikamaru nodded with a frown.
