In the courtyard of the hippo's house, Hanyu and Qimu Shuo Mao were facing each other. Unlike Tomoko's nervousness, Hanyu was relatively calm.
It wasn't that the hippo Hanyu was confident that he could dodge Qimu Shuomao's attack. It was just a habit he had developed in his previous life. The more critical the situation was, the calmer and clearer his mind would be. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to command tens of billions of funds.
At least for now, Qimu Shuomao was still satisfied with Hippo Hanyu. After all, a person's fame was the shadow of a tree. Although Qimu Baiya was a hero in the hearts of the Woodleaf people, he was also a killing star. He was cold, heartless, and ruthless. His mission completion rate was 100%, and very few people could face him head-on without changing their expressions.
Muye Baiya's movements were very fast. He could only see a swaying figure, which was dazzling. The most important thing was that the overwhelming killing intent seemed to want to completely drown the hippo Hanyu, causing it to suffocate.
"Lightning Evasion, Thunder Slash."
Hippo Hanyu shouted almost at the same time,""Earth Evasion, Earth Formation Wall." A wall of earth was erected in front of him.”Hippo Hanyu immediately reacted. The place with the weakest killing intent lit up with a white light.
[Earth Evasion, Earth Clone],[Shuriken, Shadow Clone Technique]. Hippo Hanyu used two ninjutsu in a row. After creating an Earth Clone, Hippo Hanyu disappeared. Only a few shuriken could be seen flying in all directions.
Hatsuki Shuohei laughed coldly. The white light shot out towards the shuriken closest to him, and the earth clone was instantly shattered by the white light.
" Bang!" The shuriken disappeared in a puff of white smoke. Hatake Shuoguo's expression changed. It was fake, impossible. He had been locking onto this target all this while. Then, the other shuriken disappeared one after another. They were all clones. Hatake Shuoguo revealed an imperceptible smile. He already understood what was going on.
Hisashi Tomoko was very happy. She had been worried sick just now, but after seeing that they were all clones, she knew that her son was fine. However, regarding the matter of becoming her master...
"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first. When Hanyu comes back, ask him to look for me in the Jounin waiting room.”
The hippo Han Yu, who was drawing the array, was suddenly stunned. He had already received the message from the shadow clone just now. He really didn't expect it! His mother, who looked so unremarkable, was actually the biological sister of Whitetooth Woodleaf.
Hippo Hanyu stood up and placed the scroll into the sealed space. He retrieved all the shadow clones that were outside and quickly rushed back home.
"Lord Qimu, someone is looking for you.”
Qimu Shuomao put down the document in his hand and said,""Let him in."
A 15 or 16 year old young man followed the Dark Group into the office of Qimu Shuomo." Hello, Senior Qimu.”
Qimu Shuomao waved his subordinates away and asked,""Hippo Hanyu?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you come with your true face?”
"If I come in person, others will definitely notice. Besides, I don't want to be a genius in the eyes of others. Geniuses usually have short lives.”Hippo Hanyu said honestly.
"You want to take me as your master?"
"I don't want to." The hippo Hanyu's answer was rather interesting." But my mother wanted me to do this. Although I don't care what others think or think, I have to listen to my mother's advice. However, the decision on this matter is yours, so I have no objections.”
Qimu Shuo Mao looked at him with a burning gaze, as if he wanted to see through him. "Very good. From today onwards, you are my disciple. This is your identity information in the Dark Group. From tomorrow onwards, come to my side and await my orders.”
"Yoshino Shota!" The hippo Han Yu read," Damn it, I actually became a boy."”As soon as he thought of the meaning behind this name, the hippo Han Yu immediately had goosebumps all over his body.
In Naruto's office, the third-generation successor, who was in his prime, looked at the crystal ball in his hand and pondered.
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Lord Naruto." Qimu Shuomao stood upright in front of the third-generation successor." This is the new information from the Dark Group. Please review it."”
"Yoshino Shota." The third-generation successor's gaze quickly landed on the document. This document was extremely simple. Other than the name and gender, the other information was all question marks. "Is it reliable?"
"He is my new disciple. I can guarantee that he is absolutely reliable.”Qimu Shuo Mao said seriously.
The third-generation successor smoked a cigarette and narrowed his eyes at the stack of documents in front of him."Leave these with me for now. Tomorrow, I will go to the Western Front. I will leave the matters of the Southern Front to you.”
After Qimu Shuo Mao left, the third-generation successor read again,""Yoshino Shota, maybe he'll be a great person!”How could a person who was chosen by Muye's lone ranger and accepted as a disciple be a simple person?
Knowing that her son was going to leave her for the battlefield, Tomoko Hippo couldn't help but worry. After all, he was only a five-year-old child and had never left home, let alone a dangerous place like the battlefield. However, she had promised Qimu Shuomao that she would not interfere with their actions, so she could only keep reminding them to be careful and be careful. Then, she silently worried in her heart. Even though Hanyu knew what Hisashi Tomoko was talking about, he was still very happy to hear his mother's nagging. He could feel the care from the bottom of his heart and savor this deep maternal love.
It would be a lie to say that Hippo Hanyu wasn't nervous at all. Although in his previous life, he had been playing with his heartbeat, the business world was still very different from the battlefield. However, Hippo Hanyu knew very well that if he wasn't careful, he could die at any time. After all, on the battlefield, even White Tooth couldn't save him. Everything could only depend on himself and his strength.
There were already more than ten elite Jounins gathered in the Jounin waiting room. Among them, Hanyu the Hippo knew of the three ninjas, Lord Kuroya, Orochimaru, Mitarai Shizuka, and the Steel Hands 'lover, Duan.
Needless to say, he was the youngest among the group, and he had the least combat experience. Of course, he was still the most rookie. Although he was very happy to be able to fight alongside such a powerful person, for the Hippo Hanyu who did not want to expose his identity too early, being with them would make him feel a little uneasy.
Half an hour later, the group set off on time. Hippo Hanyu followed behind Qimu Shuo Mao. Qimu Shuo Mao seemed to be testing the strength of Hippo Hanyu as he sped up along the way.
This mission was an S-rank mission, and a newbie like Hanyu shouldn't have been allowed to participate. However, to Hatake Shuohei, the battlefield was the only place where a ninja's strength was tested. Only through battle could a ninja's progress be guaranteed. Moreover, at his current position, it was impossible for him to accept missions below S-rank.
As his disciple, the hippo Hanyu had to get used to this kind of life and death struggle every day. Turning around, he saw that the hippo Hanyu hadn't been shaken off like he had imagined. Although he was lagging behind, Duan was still following him. Qimu Shuomao didn't say anything and continued to advance at this speed.
Because the two countries were at war, the closer they were to the border, the more unstable it was. They often encountered ambushes and traps set by some sand ninjas.
"How is it?" Qimu Shuo Mao asked.
"It's alright!" Hippo Hanyu's answer sounded a little forced. He had been through two lifetimes, and today was his first time killing someone. It was a rather strong chuunin. Originally, he could have dealt with such a small character by himself, but in order to let Hippo Hanyu adapt to it as soon as possible, he deliberately left this tail for Hippo Hanyu.
When he was killing people, the hippo Han Yu didn't think too much about it. However, when he saw the people who died tragically in his hands, he felt a wave of disgust in his stomach.
It was obvious that Hatsuki Shuoguo was not someone who would comfort others. Otherwise, he would not have liked to act alone." If there's nothing else, hurry up and go meet up with Zirai and the others."”Although their main mission was to cut off the Wind Country's supply to Sharen Village, in order to eliminate Sharen's forces as much as possible, Hatake Shuogao and the rest chose to split up and eliminate the hidden sentries on the southern border.
The two of them jumped through the trees at a very fast speed. So far, White Fang's speed was the second fastest among all the Muye Ninja. The first was the blue-blue beast with eight-colored Muye. However, Hippo Hanyu knew that Golden Flash, who was about to join the battle, no, perhaps had already joined the battle, was the fastest person in the future.
"If you continue forward, you will reach the Wind Country. It is a desert and it is easy to get lost. There will be many unknown dangers along the way. You have to be careful.”Qimu Shuo Mao asked with concern.
"Yes!"
"Also, I'll leave the ninjas below to you.”As expected of the cold-blooded and heartless Hatsuki Shuohei! This was his style.
"Yes." Hippo Hanyu didn't say much because Qimu Shuomao didn't like people who talked too much. Furthermore, Hippo Hanyu didn't have anything to say to him. This kind of master and disciple combination was truly a perfect match.
