164 In the name of pain

Being able to turn a good C-level mission into an A-level mission - even if it turns out that it is just an oolong in the end is not a common thing for Konoha Village.

After submitting the assignment in Class 7 and hearing Kakashi's description, it took him half a minute to digest the message, then sent a sympathetic greeting to his students and son, as well as the other two children he had seen since he was a child, and then let them go back to rest.

It wasn't so strange and surprising that Kakashi and the three children in Class 7 had spared those two traitorous ninjas.

For example, in his opinion, the approach of Class 7 is undoubtedly the most correct choice.

After all, Konoha Village and the Fog Hidden Village of the Water Country don't have much interaction - in fact, in the past three ninja wars, the Water Country has rarely intervened with its natural geographical advantages, and the Fog Hidden Village is also quite mysterious to other ninja villages and countries.

But since the early years, around the time he became the fourth Hokage, he could clearly feel that the strange atmosphere in the Fog Hidden Village had become more and more serious.

The village, which had little contact with the outside world, became more closed, and was replaced by more and more rebels in the Land of Water—many of whom had a lot of backgrounds, either elite shinobi who had long been known for their reputation, or some of the holders of the Blood Inheritance Boundary.

As a result, the title of "Village of Blood Mist" also spread to other countries on the continent through the mouths of those rebellious people.

Regarding the situation in the Fog Hidden Village of the Water Country, the other five powers, including Konoha, were not unaware of it at all - after all, as the country with the strongest comprehensive strength in this world, it was necessary to govern the countryGovernance|||Min |||Sense|||Degrees are indispensable.

In addition to this, it is mainly because the anomaly on the side of the water country is too obvious.

Some people say that this is a problem with the four generations of Mizukage who took office in the early years of the Fog Hidden Village, but after all, they are not from the Land of Water, they are not from the Fog Hidden Village, and they cannot confirm the truth of this statement, but many of the practices of the Fog Hidden Village since the early years are problematic in the eyes of these other ninja villages.

Nowadays, many ninjas have rebelled in the Fog Hidden VillageThe chaos ended in failure, and many of them were betrayedA ninja who failed and escaped from the Fog Hidden Village.

Although the problem of rebellion has existed since the establishment of the ninja village, and most of the villages have adopted an attitude of exterminating the traitorous ninja - but for the rebellion of other villages, especially for the rebellion of other villages that are not allies and have no interests, the five great powers have always taken the initiative not to find fault.

After all, it's a thankless job.

Some traitors—such as the peach land that Kakashiban met this time—if they rashly rounded up, it would only be their own side that would be hurt; And even if they can really kill each other, who knows if there will be another dark force that will jump out and bring the corpse back on the grounds that "this is our country's rebellion"?

It's really not unheard of before to let a ninja from another country be the death squad because his country's rebellion is too strong.

"It's just such a shinobi...... And it's also the famous "Misty Ghost Man...... Is it really so easy to recognize the wrong person? ”

After the seventh class led by his own students left, he looked at the task report they had just submitted with a puzzled look on his face - he was naturally surprised that Momochi, one of the "Ghost Men of the Fog Hidden Sword" and one of the "Seven Ninja Blades", would not become a traitor again.

After all, a talent like this would never be easily lost by several other ninja villages, including Konoha.

But what made him even more unbelievable was that Momochi Zai didn't kill the ninja of Konoha Village, who had established good relations with the good things of Fog Hidden Village, for the pursuers, and after finding out that they were not chasing his own people, he actually released the people again.

- That's a little weird.

Judging from Kakashi's description, the other party's personality doesn't seem to have been misrepresented by the outside world, "He doesn't believe that Momochi, who killed all the graduates except himself, in the graduation exam, will be a gentle character," or does he not want to cause more trouble? ”

Of course, the people who solved Konoha Village will no longer let others know their traces, in fact, many traitorous ninjas do this - but if they kill ninjas from other countries, they will attract unnecessary pursuit, which is also undesirable for these rebels.

Unless they are very confident in their own strength, or are quite confident in where and how they are hiding, they will not take the initiative to provoke too many enemies.

"Forget it, it's probably really a weirdo," Bo Fengshuimen pinched his eyebrows, the work of the past few days made him feel very tired, and when he encountered such a strange thing that didn't make sense anyway, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the operation of his brain.

"Anyway, after this kind of thing, they probably won't stay in the country of waves anymore," the country of waves and the country of water are relatively close, and he speculated that the reason why the other party appeared in the country of waves was probably because they stayed in the country of waves after escaping from the country of water and staying in the country of waves for a while.

Originally, it was a frightened bird that was pursued by the Fog Hidden Village, but it turned out that he saw the ninja of Konoha who suddenly appeared in the country of Wave, which was supposed to have no ninjas, so he made a move on Kakashiban in a panic.

That's probably the best explanation.

If you think about it this way, Momochi no longer slashed probably originally used the country of waves as a transit point, and now that it has been discovered by the ninjas of Konoha Village, it will definitely not continue to stay in the country of waves.

Although he was very interested in the boy who used the Ice Escape in Kakashi's mouth, after all, this is also one of the rather rare and special blood inheritance boundaries, but Konoha Village itself is not so keen on the blood inheritance limit, and even now it is not bad for the blood inheritance boundary - it is better to say that the Uchiha clan alone is enough to toss.

So no matter how interested he is personally, he has not reached the point where he has to get his hands on it at all costs, as some countries do.

"Forget it, let's leave this matter at that."

It is impossible for Konoha Village not to kill Momochi - or to say that the ninjas of other countries, including Momochi, do not have that kind of energy, after all, for Konoha, there is a hidden danger that is hidden deeper waiting for them.

If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, or if it is not handled properly, it will be a catastrophe for Konoha - and even for the entire ninja world.

Bo Feng Shuimon casually closed the mission report in his hand, and then put it aside—the mountain of paper where the mission reports of the other groups were piled up, and then he sighed softly as he faced the empty Hokage's office.

But it was only a few seconds later, and he was already tired of it, and then called a name in a somewhat different tone:

"Tenzo."

A figure wearing a dark uniform and a mask of the dark part appeared in the office, standing diagonally behind the water gate, and responded in a slightly deep voice belonging to an adult male, "Do you have any instructions, Hokage-sama." ”

>>>

When Zhou Jianwen received the invitation from Bo Feng Shuimen, it happened to be after she had a good lunch with her adopted daughter and listened to her finish what happened to Bo Zhiguo.

Feeling that someone had passed through the enchantment of the True Zhou family by special means, Zhou Jian Wen happened to be leaning on the soft collapse to read a book, and he was still a little groggy and was thinking about whether to take a nap.

After guessing what was going on, Zhou Jian Wen casually put down the scroll in his hand, and then raised his head slightly and looked at the door that was slightly open to the courtyard, but said casually, "Since you're here, come in." ”

A gray figure wearing the costume of the Hokage's dark part appeared in her room just as she finished speaking, and the person was wearing a special cat face mask of the dark part, but judging from the skeletal shape, Zhou Jian Min could also judge the gender of the other party.

"Watergate is looking for me?"

This is not the first time that Bo Feng Shuimen has sent the Shadow Department to find her—in fact, she already knows what is going on from the moment the other party passes through the enchantment.

The enchantment arranged in the real boat house can't be forced, although the strength of the enchantment is definitely not comparable to the spherical enchantment arranged outside Konoha Village, but if it is forced, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

But that doesn't mean there isn't a way to enter the inside of the barrier from the outside, and one of the boats was handed over to Bo Feng Shuimen.

On the one hand, this can be regarded as a way for the Mafune family to show their loyalty to the Hokage.

Although the population and strength of the Masue family are definitely not as good as those of the Uchiha and Hinata, the Mashu family has a big business, even if it is protected by a daimyo, but to ensure that the family will not arouse the suspicion and suspicion of the Konoha high-level because of other aspects, then it is necessary to let the Hokage himself understand his loyalty.

On the other hand, it's actually a shortcut for Watergate to find her in a hurry, but doesn't want anyone else - mainly to provide a shortcut when the advisory team knows.

Although she will still be found when she goes to the Hokage Building, at least it will not let people know that it is the Hokage who has come to her for something.

After all, she took the initiative to negotiate with the Hokage, and the nature of the Hokage's initiative to negotiate with her was not the same.

Now it is not the first time that the person who has come to the messenger has come to Mashu's house, and after hearing the customary inquiry of Shujian Min, the dark part also gave the usual answer, "Yes, Hokage-sama, please explain." ”

Zhou Jian Wen was almost tired of hearing this, but she didn't react to anything else, just nodded slightly, and then replied, "I understand." ”

The shadow man left Mashu's house after receiving her response, and Zhou Jian Min also disappeared after his figure disappeared completely. In exchange for his own servants, he changed his clothes.

When he arrived at the Hokage Building accompanied by Veneto, it was already nearly half an hour later.

It's not that the action of changing clothes and dressing up is too grinding, it's just that the distance between the real boat house and the Hokage Building is really not close, and the legs and feet of Zhou Jian Wen are not particularly good, so it usually takes half an hour to reach the Hokage Building after getting the news.

Bo Feng Shuimen also knew about Zhou Jianwen's situation, so every time he saw her arrival, not only did he show an impatient expression, but he even looked like "I came so quickly today", which made Zhou Jianwen not only a little doubtful that he had let go of the other party's pigeons for a few hours.

Approximately...... No, I don't.

Under the leadership of Bo Feng Shuimen, the three of them came to the small tearoom of dialogue, which has been a place for them to talk about business since Zhou Jianwen first talked secretly with Bo Feng Shuimen since he first came to this world.

In fact, the Hokage's office is not impossible, but Zhou Jian Min thinks that since the other party will bring him here, there may be other reasons besides confidentiality.

For example...... Considering the problem that she is not suitable for a long time.

I have always been grateful for the intimacy of Bo Feng Shuimen and his wife over the years, so Zhou Jianwen has a very friendly attitude whether he is discussing business with Bo Feng Shuimen or interacting with them in private.

And this attitude also made the couple take more care of her in many ways.

Therefore, there are contacts between people and the world, and this Taoist ideal came to the Uchiha clan before they completely suffered at the beginning, and I am afraid that they have never clearly understood.

"What is the reason for calling me here today?"

Waiting until the tea is served before discussing business has always been the habit of Bo Feng Shuimen and Zhou Jian Wen when they talk in secret, and in recent years, Zhou Jian Wen has occasionally brought some real Zhou family's pastries as refreshments - after all, sometimes she and Shuimen will discuss for too long, if it is not accompanied by some snacks, just drinking tea is really too boring.

"Mr. Jiraiya sent me a message before," Bo Feng Shuimen said, handing the news from Jiraiya to Zhou Jianwen.

Zhou Jianwen glanced at him, and after getting the other party's nod, he opened the scroll that was obviously specially encrypted and deciphered - the encryption method of Jiraiya was only known to their teachers and students, and Shuimen also told her the decryption method in order to negotiate with her.

And now the news that Zhou Jianwen got from the scroll in her hand made her frown.

"Could the Akatsuki organization be located in the vicinity of the three kingdoms of fire, wind, and earth...... This information from Jiraiya is certainly not easy to come by, but the scope of the search is not small, "I don't know if it was commissioned by Bo Feng Shuimen, Jiraiya has been collecting information about the "Xiao" organization all these years.

Judging from the scroll she was holding, he probably found some clues.

It's just that Konoha really wants to make efforts to search for the headquarters of the "Akatsuki" organization...... Then this information is still not enough, and even more will have to be invested.

After all, there are too many lands bordering the three major countries of fire, wind, and earth.

"The most likely thing is the Land of Rain," Bo Feng Shuimen also felt that what Zhou Jian Min said was right, but it was still good to have a general direction, "The ninja of the Land of Rain you met back then was also a member of Xiao. ”

Zhou Jian Wen nodded, "That's true. ”

To say that Akatsuki's headquarters are in the Land of Rain - this is not incorrect, but the question is......

"The problem is that we can't tell where Xiao's headquarters is based on the origin of one of the members," Bo Feng Shuimen naturally thought of this problem as well—after all, the culprit who created the Nine-Tails Incident back then was the point.

"After all, the Xiao organization is scattered in pairs, and even the nail I planted has not been to the headquarters for the time being," Zhou Jian Min recalled the news he had recently gotten, "but according to that person, the rhythm of Xiao seems to have slowed down recently. ”

This is the first time Bo Fengshuimen has heard the news, "What do you say? ”

"It's also the news I just got before I went out, saying that the recent behavior of Payne, the leader of the "Akatsuki" organization, seems to be a little unusual, as if it has the intention of temporarily slowing down the operation of catching tailed beasts."

The name "Payne" is not the first time that Bo Feng Shui Men has heard it.

And every time he heard this name, Bo Feng Shuimen always felt that the leader of the "Xiao" organization named "Payne" probably had some kind of trauma in his early years.

- Otherwise, it would not be possible to use the name of pain.

Although he didn't know how and who he buried in the "Akatsuki" organization, the news sent by the nail always matched the information found by Jiraiya.

This is also the reason why Bo Feng Shuimen always believed in the news sent by Zhou Jianwen.

As for who the undercover agent was, Bo Fengshuimen never asked, and Zhou Jianwen never told him.

After all, both Bo Feng Shuimen and Zhou Jian Min felt that it was safe for both parties to know the true identity of the nail on Konoha's side.

Under the deliberate concealment of Bo Feng Shuimen and others, Konoha basically didn't know about the existence and danger of the "Xiao" organization, on the one hand, they really didn't have much information in their hands; Second...... Revealing the situation of the "Akatsuki" organization to the people too early will only cause panic.

"Hearing you say that, the Akatsuki organization probably won't be doing anything in the short term."

Bo Feng Shuimen's gaze moved back to the unfolded scroll in front of him, "Although this also gives us some time to prepare, but when they start to act, ......"

It may be a catastrophe.

"Konoha needs to take advantage of the period when they are out of activity to be fully prepared."

Zhou Jian Min also felt that she also knew what would happen when the "Xiao" organization resumed its activities, but there were some things she really couldn't say clearly, so she could only attack from the side, "I think you should also know what will happen after the "Xiao" organization starts to act. ”

Bo Feng Shuimen nodded solemnly, "I understand, if it is not handled properly...... The Fourth Great Ninja War is about to happen. ”

The Ninja World War is not something to be said to be fun, in fact, before Zhou Jian Min and Jiraiya respectively told him about the "Xiao" organization, Bo Feng Shuimen didn't believe that a secret organization would be such a big threat.

But it turns out......

Never underestimate a group of ninjas who are desperate to make trouble.

Because there's a good chance they're going to make a big deal.

"Speaking of which, I have another thing to tell you," looking at the other side of the river, who was already thinking about what preparations should be made during the period when the "Xiao" organization was silent, Zhou Jian Min's words changed, "There is also news from the Iron Country, and I will leave in five days." ”

Bo Feng Shuimen knew that Zhou Jian Wen was going to the Iron Country, and he didn't ask in detail about what she was going to do, out of trust in Zhou Jian Min, but Zhou Jian Wen left at this time - and he was still going to the Iron Country, which made him a little worried.

There is no other reason than the fact that the Land of Iron is near the Land of Earth and borders the Land of Fire.

It just so happens to be within the scope of the self-demarcation.

"Wouldn't it be safe to go to the Iron Country now?" Bo Feng Shuimen frowned, although he focused on the Yuyin Village in the Land of Rain, which was also very closed, it didn't mean that the surrounding countries didn't have that possibility.

"The Land of Iron is a neutral country, I don't think it's very likely," Even if he doesn't already know the original book, he thinks that the Land of Iron is unlikely to be the base camp of the "Akatsuki" organization, "After all, there are no ninjas there, only samurai, and if there are members of a secret organization of ninjas, you can't hide it in the Land of Iron, right?" ”

Bo Feng Shuimen thought about it and felt that what Zhou Jianwen said was not unreasonable, "But I will still send someone to protect you." ”

"It's just a short round trip this time, so there's no need to make a big fuss," Zhou Jian Wen waved her hand, if she really let the elite shinobi in a group of four be her guards, she might still feel uncomfortable, "After all, the Iron Country is a neutral country, and having too many elite ninjas at once will only arouse their suspicion." ”

Bo Feng Shuimen also knew Zhou Jianwen's temper, he thought about it, and then nodded.

"Just like last time, I'll let you meet your guards before you leave," since Zhou Jian Min had said so, he also had an idea.

Zhou Jian Wen didn't think much about it when she saw Bo Feng Shuimen looking so happy - in her opinion, Bo Feng Shuimen's approach would not be much different from the last time, but at most she would only send two or three middle ninjas.

After all, the last time was a long-distance trip, and this time it was just a short-distance round-trip escort, plus now there is no one who needs to travel to get his soul touched, so just a few middle shinobi are about the same.

However, Zhou Jianwen still underestimated the wave of wind and water.

The well-trained servants of the Mashu family, along with a few ship girls around Shujian Min, packed their luggage within three days, and Haruno Sakura, who learned that Zhou Jian Wen was about to go away, also received an assembly order early on the morning of the fourth day.

I originally thought that after accidentally executing a C-level mission into an A-level mission, several children would return to the daily routine of pulling weeds and walking dogs and catching cats, but who knew that less than three hours after the little girl went out, Funajian Min, who was originally making snacks with Fuso in the kitchen, heard the news of Haruno Sakura's return from Sangzome.

And the one who came back with Sakura Haruno also had the companions of Class 7.

Maybe the servants of the Mashu family are not so familiar with Kakashi Hachiki, but for Naruto of the Watergate family and Sasuke of the Uchiha family, the people of the Mashu family are very familiar with it - after all, he is also a young man who has often visited with his parents since he was a child, and now he can be in the same class as Sakura Haruno, and the servants of the Mashu family are also very relieved.

Although I thought it was a bit strange that the other three big men in Class 7 would come back with their own girls, everyone was quite familiar with them, so Zhou Jianwen washed his hands and came out to receive the guests.

As a result, she found that whether it was her own daughter, or the two children who were also considered to be the children she grew up, or Kakashi Hagi's expressions were very subtle.

As soon as he saw their expressions, Zhou Jianwen didn't need them to say much, and he could probably guess what was going on.

She twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, looked at the members of the seventh class in front of her, and then asked in a tone that was as low as possible to irritate them, "Is it possible...... Watergate asked you to come, right? ”

Seeing that her adoptive mother had already guessed the answer, Sakura Haruno nodded happily; Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha looked like they didn't know how to explain, and Kakashi, who was the captain, had to answer even if he didn't want to explain.

Task Number A161272...... The client is Kanwen-sama," Kakashi Hagi felt his heart a little tired.

On that day, Zhou Jianwen asked him to come to Zhenzhou's house to sit when he was free, if it came out of the mouth of others, it must be polite words, and when it came out of Zhou Jianwen's mouth, even if it was really polite words, it was a little creepy.

What's more, Zhou Jianwen was not necessarily polite at that time.

He dealt with it casually at the time, and thought in his heart that even if Zhou Jianwen's baby girl was handed over to him, he didn't have a lot of intersection with the other party.

Who! Think! Arrive!

After many years, he actually sent himself to the door again.

"Huh? Is it an A-level mission? Zhou Jianwen blinked a little blankly, her original task was the highest B-level mission, who knew that Watergate was actually awarded according to the standard of A-level mission.

And...... actually assigned this task to a group of lower ninjas who had just graduated from the ninja school - although this group of lower ninjas now has the strength to be very close to the middle ninja.

What is Watergate trying to do?

Zhou Jian Wen suddenly felt a little strange about Bo Feng Shuimen's motive for doing this.

"Forget it, since it's the meaning of the water gate, there must be a reason for him," this mission actually doesn't have much possibility of fighting between ninjas.

The Watergate Society was issued an A-class mission, which was basically due to her identity, but considering the danger of the mission, it was really not high, and she herself was not as difficult to serve as the princes and nobles who usually lived in the Daimyo City, so it was simply an ideal mission for ninjas with high income and low risk.

He will be handed over to Class 7, probably for this reason.

"The carriage of the Mashu family will leave the village at half past nine tomorrow morning."

After the maids of the Mashu family served the tea—after all, they didn't know that the foursome had come for the mission when they were preparing the tea—and explained the route of the Mashu family to the Kakashi clan as he had told Kakashi and Itachi Uchiha.

Kakashi Hachiki nodded, "We'll meet you at the entrance of the village." ”

With that, he glanced at Sakura Haruno and then at Minu Funakami.

Haruno Sakura and Zhou Jian Wen naturally did not miss his gaze, and after understanding what she meant, Zhou Jian Min, who was reluctant to let her adopted daughter run to the gate of the village to wait for the others, did not shy away from replying, "Sakura will go to the entrance of the village with me." ”

- Well, that's the answer I've guessed a long time ago, anyway.

Since Zhou Jian Wen said so, Kakashi naturally didn't go online, saying that a ninja must look like a ninja - his past experience had clearly taught him how stupid it was to face Zhou Jian Min's mouth cannon.

"This is the road map to the Iron Country," Zhou Jian Wen marked the road map that had been prepared, including where he would stay.

Although many ninjas sleep in the open when performing escort missions, that is mostly the case of C-level and B-level missions; Most of the escort objects above the A level are high-ranking officials and nobles, don't look at Zhou Jianwen who lives in Konoha Village all the year round, but her background and value are not low.

With her physical condition and background, if she was the subject of the escort, then it was absolutely impossible for her to sleep outside.

Not to mention that the name of Zhou Jianwen who has always valued Zhou Jian is reluctant, and even Bo Feng Shuimen will not allow it.

Kakashi Hachiki, who had already experienced the habit of traveling with Minu Funakami, didn't make sense of this, and Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who were performing A-rank missions in the first real sense, compared them to the C-rank missions they had just received......

Suddenly, I found that I had taken good care of them since I was a child...... It seems to be really an incredible character.

Come to think of it, if you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't be able to be marked as an A-level mission.

Zhou Jianwen looked at the children with different faces in front of him, and suddenly understood the intention of Bo Feng Shuimen - if it was a group of shinobi who had obviously just graduated from ninja school to carry out this escort mission, I am afraid that no one would have thought that she was doing it in the car.

This is the same reason as the person she used to make Kakashi and Itachi disguise as the real boat family.

After explaining the itinerary after that, Funakami looked at Kakashi Hagi as the captain and asked him, "Do you have any questions about the itinerary?" ”

Kakashi shook his head, the itinerary of the Mashu family was as meticulous as ever, and he couldn't find any problems at all.

"Then for the next few days, please take care of me."

The rest of the people who stayed in Class 7 had lunch at Mashu's house, and then the other three went back to their respective homes to prepare for the next mission; As for the Haruno Sakura who stayed at Mashu's house, after sending Funaka Minu to take a nap, she also prepared the necessary configuration for the mission to start tomorrow.

Although it is labeled as an A-class mission, it is only because of the status of the boat and not its danger, which is clear to both Kakashi Hachiki and the parents of the three families.

Seeing that Zhou Jianwen was being escorted, he had no opinion on the escort staff, and the parents of the other two families also felt that it was good for their children to go out to see the world.

After all, it is not often seen to be labeled as an A-level mission, and it is not often encountered to do things that are B-level or C-level tasks.

"It's going to be the middle ninja exam soon, and the water gate is probably thinking about that," Zhou Jian Wen didn't forget about the middle ninja exam, but seeing that Orochimaru is still concerned about Konoha now, he wants to come to this middle ninja exam probably won't have any moths.

And for Zhou Jianwen himself, it would be good if his children could accumulate more experience.

It was in the thoughts of Zhou Jian Wen that the carriage of the real Zhou family and the seventh class, which had just graduated from the ninja school for just over a month, set off towards the land of iron and snow.

The children of the three families probably learned about the situation in the Iron Country from their parents, so they brought some cold clothes and cloaks with them - although most of the time they sat in the carriage of the Mafune family, there was always a time to go out.

- And the carriage was not completely airtight.

Just like back then, Kakashi and Kaga sat outside to catch the car, while the three children sat in the car with Minu Funake, Veneto, and Akagi.

Except for the loss of Uchiha Itachi back then, the addition of Naruto Uzumaki and Itachi's younger brother Sasuke, the situation in the carriage now does not seem to be much different from that back then.

It's just that the delicate little girl back then has now become an excellent ninja.

Just like the actual level of this mission that everyone can understand, from the time they set out from Konoha Village to their destination in the Land of Iron, the group did not encounter any danger - not even if they saw the carriage and thought that it must be a rich man or a bandit who wanted to rob it.

"It's so cold......"

Among the group, the only people who came to this land of iron for the first time were Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who had never seen such a big snow before, and they were stunned as soon as they arrived in the territory of the land of iron.

Kakashi and Kaga, who were sitting outside the car to catch the car, put on the cold clothes handed out by Akagi as they were about to arrive at the border of Iron Country.

Returning to the Land of Iron again after many years, Kakashi Hachiki, who had already been frozen to the point that the tip of his nose began to turn red, did not fluctuate in his heart, but he wanted to snot a little.

As for the inside of the carriage, there was no charcoal fire - although the people of the Masushi family were not unprepared, but after considering such and such problems, everyone still unanimously decided to rely on clothing and shaking to keep warm.

So after finally arriving at the inn, not to mention the other people who were already calm, even the lively and active Naruto shrunk into a ball, holding the ginger soup with both hands, revealing that although he felt that it was unpalatable, he had to drink it.

"Let's rest here tonight," Zhou Jianwen, who had shaken off a little snow from his cloak before entering the house, also held hot tea to keep warm, and the snow outside the house never stopped, even if other countries have now entered summer, this place is still icy and snowy.

Kakashi Hagi wasn't particularly surprised by the icy situation in the Land of Iron - after all, he was an elite ninja who had traveled to many countries and seen a lot of scenes, not to mention that he had already been here once many years ago.

But not being surprised doesn't mean he's not frozen out.

After all, ninjas are human beings, too!

Now hearing Zhou Jianwen say this, he nodded without hesitation while sitting at the other end of the charcoal fire.

Looking at Kakashi, who seemed to have no opinion on her proposal, but in fact had been frozen stupid and had to hold on, Shujian Min only felt a little funny.

However, she didn't debunk Kakashi, who seemed to be having a harder time than when she was in the dark department since she took the seventh class, and just asked Akagi on the side to see how the store's lunch was being prepared.

Akagi, who had gone to the kitchen to check on his lunch, hadn't come back yet, but Naruto, who had also been frozen a little hard and was about to become a living fossil, seemed to be alive again.

He stood on tiptoe, his hands on the windowsill as high as the tip of his nose, looked out at the white expanse of the world through the glass window, and then, as if thinking of something, turned his head to his companions who were still drinking tea on the fire in the room—

"Let's go out for a snowball fight!"

Kakashi on the side had just recovered from the blizzard baptism in the Iron Nation when he heard the proposal of one of the best bear children in his class, so his right eye, which was already a little godless, directly turned into a dead fish eye.

He thought that Naruto should be glad that he was his student and the only son of his mentor - if there was such a bear member in the shadows back then, he would definitely press the other party directly into the snow so that he could have fun with these gifts of nature.

It's just that people with such a lively temperament probably won't enter the shadows.

Kakashi, who felt a little tired when he thought about it, waved his hand and directly said that he was not involved, and then got Naruto's "Kakashi-sensei, why are you like an uncle".

Graduated from ninja school at the age of five, promoted to a middle ninja at the age of six, and is now twenty-six years old - a ninja who has been a ninja for a long time and is on his way to Benzo Kakashi has no room for refutation of Naruto's just right complaints.

Uncle is uncle, anyway, he has never been as young and enthusiastic as his companion Kai.

Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha weren't interested in Naruto's proposal either, and they just wanted to stay in this warm room, drink warm hot tea, eat a warm lunch, and then rest for a while.

Seeing that no one echoed the cold water that was colder than the northwest wind outside, Naruto felt a little bored.

And just as the three children sat down around the charcoal fire again, the lunch that they had been waiting for for a long time was finally delivered.
