An hour later, Sunichi stopped in an open space with sore steps.
He looked at Gong Yi, who was neither red nor out of breath, with a grave expression.
This rookie was stronger than he had imagined. He was indeed worthy of being the First Seat who had defeated the Chuunin and graduated early!
Even Kakashi, who had been his teammate, did not seem to be much stronger than Gong Yi.
A minute later, Ogawahara rushed over, panting heavily and sweating profusely.
"Captain, why are you running so fast?”
"Huff huff, I'm exhausted. I'm afraid I'll die before the mission starts.”
Facing Ogawa's complaints, Iga Kawaji smiled. His smile was a little gentler than before.
He was already gradually getting used to the identity of the captain.
"We're still in the Fire Country, but we'll reach the border if we hurry. It won't be safe then.”
"Now, rest on the spot! Replenish physical strength, recover chakra, and be prepared to face any danger!”
Ogawahara gulped down a large mouthful of water and did not have the strength to speak. He sat at the side to rest.
It was the same for Hyuga Chenzo. However, he was good at physical techniques and was a member of the Hyuga clan. His situation was much better than Ogawahara's and he was not in a very bad state.
"Gong Yi, it looks like you still have some strength left. You know what to do when you meet an enemy, right?”
Gong Yi nodded and disappeared into the forest.
Seeing this scene, Sunichi's pupils constricted.
"He's indeed very strong. Not only can he keep up with Captain Iga, but he even has the strength to spare!”
Iga Kawaji leaned against the tree, playing with a bitter sword in his hand. When he saw the expression on Hinata Senshu's face, he suddenly smiled and said,"
"Qian Zong, you're quite strong. After this mission is over, I think you can apply for the Chuunin assessment.”
"Thank you, Captain!"
Thanking Ri Chenzong wasn't a simple gesture. In the village, ninjas of different levels were treated differently.
The higher the level of the ninja, the higher the basic salary and the better the benefits.
Furthermore, he had an advantage in accepting missions.
Genins were not allowed to apply for B-rank and above missions. Only Chuunins were qualified to participate.
Although this was an A-rank mission like intelligence gathering, the actual danger level was only C-rank. They could endure it and barely get involved.
Moreover, this mission was led by Igawa, who was at the Jounin level. The three of them were just assistants.
The captain affirmed his own strength, and Hinata Chenzo had an idea in his heart.
Once he became a Chuunin, his status in the clan would be higher and he would be valued more.
"Captain, captain, what about me?"
After resting for a while, Ogawahara felt much more energetic.
Now that he heard Iga Kawaji's comments on his team members, he was looking forward to it.
"Yuan, you're younger than Qian Zong, so you'll need to train for another two years."”
"Oh."
Ogawahara was not discouraged. Instead, he scratched his head and giggled.
This was the brilliance of Igawa Kawaji's words.
Even though Ogawara was indeed very weak, he did not say it directly, as that would strike a blow to the young man's confidence.
He only said that Ogawa Hara was younger, so it was only natural that he was weaker.
Seeing Ogawahara's silly smile, Chiumo Hinata shook his head gently.
The young man who was guarding them was much younger than Ogawa!
call
A breeze blew past, followed by a heavy landing.
"Captain, I'm back."
Gong Yi's expression was indifferent. The sunlight shone through the leaves and onto his face, making him look a little dazzling.
"How does it feel to be on alert for the first time?”
"I don't feel anything."
Igawa Kawaji shrugged." It's good that you don't feel anything. If you feel anything, we won't be safe."”
Iga Kawaji looked at the three of them.
"We've rested enough. Now, let's continue!”
......
After the Second War of the Ninja Realm, the various Ninja Villages had been peaceful for many years.
Even though the situation was tense and some small conflicts kept appearing, overall, it was still under control.
This was especially true for ordinary civilians, who would not notice anything.
The Country of Rain, a war-torn country, had recuperated for many years and recovered a certain amount of vitality. The commoners lived and worked in peace and contentment, much better than before.
The sky was gloomy, and it was drizzling. The atmosphere was a little gloomy, and it even gave people the feeling that black clouds were pressing down on the city.
At this moment, on a street in the Country of Rain, four figures in black raincoats were slowly walking forward.
The four of them entered a noodle shop and ordered four bowls of noodles before sitting quietly in a corner.
"Ninja squads are usually made up of three or four people. Therefore, if we move together, it will be too eye-catching!”
Iga Kawaji said in a low voice. Miyazaki and the others listened attentively to him.
"The Country of Rain isn't big. There's only one big city and three small cities protecting it.”
Ogawahara, who had been to a few big cities in the Country of Fire to complete missions, was a little puzzled. He then asked in a low voice,""So small? Then why does it still exist?"
Yihe frowned as Gong Yi explained softly.
"It is precisely because it is small that it can exist.”
"Eh? I don't understand. Gong Yi, why are you keeping me in suspense?”
This teammate of his was a little stupid!
" There will be constant friction between the big countries once they are connected," Gong Yi said helplessly." That's why we need a buffer zone." The countries in this region could not be too strong, as it would be easy for them to turn the tables. The Country of Rain was not big and weak, so it could act as a buffer zone.”
Ogawahara still didn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask further and pretended to understand.
Iga Kawaji looked at Miyazaki with admiration and continued,""I've already investigated this town last night. Therefore, only the city and the other two towns were left. I will investigate the distribution of ninjas in the big cities of the Country of Rain. The one in the east."
At this point, Iga Kawaji looked at Hinata Chenzo and Miyazaki awkwardly.
The three team members were divided into two groups. Naturally, there would be two and one.
Logically speaking, Hyuga Sensei had a pair of eyes that were particularly effective in scouting, so he should be in charge of one area alone.
However, Gong Yi was obviously stronger than him. Even he could not figure it out. If Gong Yi acted alone, the effect would definitely be better.
However, it was Gong Yi's first time on a mission, and he was obviously favored by Lord Naruto. If he still distributed it like this, then…
Just as Iga Kawaji was feeling troubled, Miyazaki spoke up.
"I'll be in charge of the small town in the east alone!”
"Uh…"
"Gong Yi, what are you talking about, you little rookie? At this time, Qian Zong and I will definitely be the ones to do this.”
Ogawahara snorted. He had the pride of a senior, but he also wanted to take care of Gong Yi.
Iga Kawaji had the same thought. After all, Miyazaki was still a newcomer.
" Qian Zong's eye-roll detection is very effective," Gong Yi said lightly." But he's just a Genin. He needs someone to protect him when he opens his eyes to detect." Besides,"
At this point, Miyaichi whispered to Iga Kawaji,""The various Ninja villages have been eyeing Mu Ye for a long time, captain!”
Iga Kawaji's expression suddenly turned solemn!
He quickly realized the pros and cons of rolling his eyes.
Although it was effective to let Hinata Senshu act alone, it would be even more troublesome if something happened.
Even if the Hyuga Chishiro who had rolled his eyes was just a Genin!
But then, he looked at Gong Yi worriedly.
Gong Yi raised his head confidently, his eyes bright.
"Captain, I'm a genius who defeated a chuunin. Please believe me!”
