With a click, You Xia locked the door, then turned around and went downstairs.
The mission to rescue the young master of the Tsuruta family was not something that could be completed in a day, so after meeting up with Red Bean at the izakaya, the five of them went home to pack their luggage. They agreed to meet at the village gate at four in the afternoon.
You Xia didn't bring anything with her other than some simple daily necessities and money, so she packed up quickly. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, it was just 4:45 am. Other than the two ninjas guarding the wooden leaf gate, there was no one else.
"Hey! You Xia!"
Just as You Xia was about to complain about the few of them dragging their feet, an excited yet tender male voice suddenly sounded. He turned around and happened to meet a green little…Li.
Even though You Xia was not impressed by Li's green matching style, she was very appreciative of people who worked hard. She smiled and waved at Li, who ran up to her, and said in a friendly manner,"Li Jun."
"You don't have to be so polite. Just call me Little Li.”Xiao Li rubbed his head. When he smiled, he could see his neat white teeth, which made people's mood instantly improve.
At four in the afternoon, Kel and Red Bean arrived. The four of them stood in a row, and a row of crows seemed to fly over their heads, making a few caws.
You Xia raised her head and looked at the setting sun. She couldn't help but twitch her lips and whisper,"If I remember correctly, we will depart at four in the afternoon. It was our captain…Senior Kakashi who decided to do so?”
Mitarai Red Bean nodded very calmly. She pushed her bangs to the side and said very elegantly,"That's normal. It would be abnormal if Kakashi arrived on time.”
You Xia was speechless.
He had nothing to say. Although he knew that Kakashi would always be late for his missions, it would be very annoying if he were to meet someone. Especially when Kakashi slowly walked out of the door with a copy of " Intimate Paradise " after nearly an hour.
"Ah, everyone's here?" When Kakashi saw the resentment lingering around the four of them, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. With a shake of his hand, he put away the " Intimate Paradise " and cleared his throat."Shall we go then?"
Outside of Muye's village, there was a dense forest. A river that never froze protected the entire village.
Because they had set off an hour late, the sun had already set at the two mountainsides, emitting its afterglow. The forest outside Woodleaf Village was filled with old trees that were dozens of years old. They were densely packed and blocked out the sun. Occasionally, a few wails could be heard, and it felt gloomy.
However, this kind of gloominess did not come from the environment, but…this forest was densely packed with people from the Dark Group! Or perhaps, there were people with " roots."
You Xia opened the mini-map to take a look. There were several squads patrolling the road they were taking. There was also a barrier. It was impressive that the kidnappers could sneak in to deliver the letter.
At the thought of this, he paused and suddenly had a bad feeling. It was definitely not an easy mission to rescue Yoshihide Iwata! However, on second thought, the team still had Kel and Kakashi, these two powerful figures. Even if a Shadow Grade powerhouse appeared, they wouldn't panic.
In that split second, he suddenly realized that he was several dozen meters away from Kakashi and Red Bean. He immediately calmed himself down, and the chakras gathered under his feet increased exponentially as he rushed forward.
Kel tried his best to slow down. Looking at Little Li, who was running with sweat all over his head, he could not help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes. However, it was already not easy for him to keep up with him with his strength. This was youth and passion!
" Li," Kel smiled and said,""You can actually follow us closely. It seems that the results of your usual training are not bad!”
"Teacher Kai! This is all because of your good guidance, allowing our strength to increase very quickly!”As Xiao Li ran with all his might, he even gave a thumbs up to Kel on the right and said,"I believe that under Teacher Kai's guidance, I will definitely become an outstanding ninja!”
Kel said very modestly,"You've worked hard!"”
"No, no, no. Teacher Kai, you taught me well!"”
Kakashi and Red Bean, who were running in front, couldn't help but twitch their lips. Xiao Li and Kel's business bragging really had a hint of 'shamelessness.'
Red Bean couldn't help but turn around and shake her fists. She shouted,""Kel, bring Little Li and follow us quickly! Don't fall behind, we have to hurry.”
Kel suddenly remembered something when Red Bean called out to him. He slapped his head and said to Little Li,"Little Li! Today's cultivation ends here. I'll carry you on my back!”
"Alright!"
Xiao Li stopped, but Kel quickly reacted and scooped him up on his back. He said loudly,"Hold on tight! Now, I want to have a PK between men with Kakashi to see who can reach their destination first!”
“hai!”Little Li became excited when he heard about the PK. He clenched his fists and cheered for Kel."Teacher Kai, you can do it!"
Kel carried Xiao Li and sped up. Kel came to Kakashi's side and touched him, saying,""Hei Kakashi, let's have a competition to see who gets to the mountain array house first! I'll make a move first!"
After saying that, she ignored Kakashi's reaction and ran out with Xiao Li on her back. Her speed almost made You Xia's jaw drop. She was too fast! In the blink of an eye, Kel and Lee were gone.
"Senior Kakashi, aren't you going to chase after them?”You Xia asked Kakashi in amusement.
"Don't worry about them, we'll just keep going at this speed.”
The transaction location mentioned in the letter was in a forest more than 100 kilometers north of Woodleaf Village, in the middle of the Country of Fire. Kakashi brought You Xia, Red Bean, Kai, and Lee over three hours to the nearest town to the trading point--the Alpine Array House.
By the time Kakashi, Red Bean, and You Xia arrived at the mountain array house, Xiao Li and Kai had already found an inn and were waiting for them at the village entrance.
You Xia, who had been traveling for three hours, went to his room to take a shower before hurriedly falling asleep. He had never tried to use his full strength to travel for three hours!
More importantly, Kakashi, Kel, and Red Bean had no intention of understanding him at all!
Early the next morning, the four of them washed up and prepared to leave. Xiao Li was left at the hotel to look after their luggage because of his strength.
Just as the four of them were about to leave, Xiao Li pushed open the window and waved at them excitedly."Teacher Kai, Senior Kakashi, Senior Red Bean, You Xia, I will take good care of your luggage! Teacher Kai, I will also complete the training you left for me!”
