Chapter 32: Hino's Return
"It's ridiculous to talk about friends and to be with children...... However, there is a guy named Konohamaru who has been pestering me since he heard that I live in Naruto's house, and I don't know why......"
Konohamaru......
"He's the grandson of the three Hokagesβ"
"Huh?"
"I'm always conceited that I want to be the Hokage's child, because I have the same dream as Naruto, so I think Naruto is my opponent! On the one hand, he called the boss, and on the other hand, he did not admit defeat and behaved himself, that kid-"
"In the past, I used to play ninja games with the three generations, trying to defeat the three generations, but now, I have lost the innocence of that time......
"What's wrong?"
"Hehe, don't you know, just a few months ago, in the Konoha collapse incident, three generations have already been sacrificed...... Now, there's no one to be Konohamaru's opponent anymore! β
Aoi was silent, and it seemed that he could understand the occasional sadness and unyielding expression in Konohamaru's eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Aoi, I don't know what you think, but I have to tell you what is in my heart."
Although my tone was flat, Aoi sat up straight and listened.
"Maybe you don't think life in Hino Village is passionate, or maybe you think that seclusion is not your pursuit, but have you ever thought about how happy it is to spend your life in peace? Marrying a wife and having children, a man ploughing and a woman weaving, growing old together, such a simple life is something that many people want to pursue but can't get! β
Shikamaru's face came to my mind, and that perpetually frowning brow spoke of his desire for a peaceful life.
"There's so much to endure as a ninja...... The inevitable death of your cherished companions around you, have you ever experienced that feeling of powerlessness? When you lose something important in your life, that empty feeling can make your heart freeze as well......"
So, I'm not going to let anyone around me die! I swear!
"Aoi, think about it, do you really, want to be a ninja?"
Aoi was silent and did not speak.
For a moment, my heart became heavy.
Silently put away the dishes and chopsticks, took out the chessboard, "Come on, I haven't played chess for a long time!" β
As soon as the chess pieces were set, I heard the sharp birdsong outside the window.
Messenger Bird? Hokage's summoning order?
He got up from his chair, "Aoi, stay at home and don't go out!" I'm leaving! β
Hurriedly rushed out of the door and went directly to the Hokage Mansion from the rows of rooftops.
Konoha's middle ninja and upper ninja have arrived one after another.
As a shinobi, I didn't have to accept the summoning order, but seeing the strange eyes of the middle ninjas, I also felt that I was a little too positive......
Tsunade didn't care about that, and when he saw that everyone was almost in line, he began to speak.
"Urgent mission!" Always so imposing.
"The Daimyo of the Mori no Kuni has submitted his credentials to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, declaring that he is a power dependent on my country as a permanently neutral country. Although it is a neutral country, it has been stated in the agreement that in times of war, it will not be used by any country outside the country to extinguish the fire, so Japan has an obligation to protect the security of the forest country! β
There was not much reaction.
"The Ninja Family, the Hino family, who have lived in seclusion for many years in the Mori no Country, announced that they will resume their ninja status and join the Konoha Ninja Village as a symbol and condition of the Mori no Kuni's surrender!"
This time, the room was boiling.
Although they are all from the same village, there are also interests between different families. Konoha is a little better, in other ninja villages, the fights between families are bloody and naked. Therefore, everyone feels that there is a threat that a new family will enter Konoha.
"Here, they are all elites of all races! Listen on behalf of your family, I will give the Hino family the same status as the original Konoha family, and no one will discriminate against or exclude the Hino family! β
Tsunade decisively gave such an order. In fact, I also understand that having said that, in the coming troubled times, it will be the military exploits that will determine the status and strength of the family.
I understand, and everybody understands, so after a while, the noise quickly fell silent.
"The Hino family will be moving to Konoha in the near future, and their village head, oh, now called the patriarch, has asked us to send someone to pick it up. Because they have been coveted by major forces for a long time, and there are even people from the Great Snake Pill mixed in it, I am afraid that there will be a lot of dangers along the way! β
"Now form three ten-person squadrons: the first group, led by Youyou!"
"Yes~~ Yes!" Dizzy, why did it hit me?
"Responsible for greeting and escorting the Hino family back to Konoha in Akira."
"The second group, Kakashi leads the team!"
"Yes!"
"Responsible for repelling enemies who stalk and harass along the way."
"The third group, red beans lead the team!"
"Yes!"
"Stay on standby in Konoha and be ready to be in the middle at any time."
All three were commanded.
I brought Shikamaru and Ninji to the first squadron, and Ya and Shino, who are good at scouting, and Sakura, who has mastered the healing ninjutsu, were left to Kakashi, and Iruka, who is also a teacher at the ninja school, is of course assigned to the third team of Red.
I'm not familiar with any of the others!
What a failure! It's been more than half a year since I've been here, and there are still very few people I know, of course, because of the guidance of AB, but also because the life of a ninja is too dull, right?
Fearing that the news would leak out (in fact, it would be impossible not to leak it), Tsunade asked us to leave as soon as possible.
"Then, the first team, give a night of rest and tidying up, and gather at the entrance of the village at sunrise tomorrow, and disperse!"
In front of the Hokage's house, he disbanded his squadron and walked to the dormitory with anxiety. However, I always felt unsure, and finally turned back.
"Tsunade-sama, why did you make me the captain? It's abrupt! I'm just forbearing! β
"Shinobi?" Tsunade didn't answer my question directly.
"I just think that you and the people of Hino Village will be more familiar, and if you are responsible for greeting them, they will be much more psychologically stable."
"Alright, let's go down and prepare!"
As soon as I turned around, Tsunade stopped me again.
"Hey, speaking of which, I forgot to ask you about the Purple Lotus last time. I don't know, how is it going? β
If Tsunade hadn't said it, I'd have forgotten about it again...... I haven't been to see it for almost a month......
"Ah, Tsunade-sama, the last time I went, it had already sprouted...... I used a special cultivation method to try to cultivate the black lotus as soon as possible...... Well, I'll go first! "Hurry away.
First I ran to tell Aoi that Kakashi and I had taken the task and were going to leave the village for a while, and by the way, I took away the shogi that I had forgotten with him, and then I ran to the medicine garden despite the darkness.
I was embarrassed to knock on the door of the greenhouse.
"I'm so sorry! Castle peak! β
Saying that, I first ran to the shelf and began to dig out the crystal water, took out all the contents of the package, felt that it was not enough, and made a lot, and explained while making water: "I suddenly have to go out on a mission, if I come early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the gathering, so I have to take the liberty of disturbing at night, I'm really embarrassed!" β
"Please don't say that, but it's been a long time since you've been to see the lotus! Don't you notice a difference? β
"Huh?" Did I immediately put down the crystal water in my hand and ran to the ground to see.
"Yikes! Yikes! It's blooming! β
It's just a bud, but the bright colors that adorn the green leaves are immediately different!
It's a pity it's all purple!
"So, remember to cross-pollinate when the pollen is ripe! Please! β
It's almost midnight when I get home, and I can't sleep after thinking about the task constantly, so I can't sleep after tossing and turning, so I'll see that it's almost dawn, so let's go to the village entrance and wait first.
It's already spring, but it's really cold in the early hours of the morning. Summoned a thorn, held it against the village gate, and fell asleep.
"Hey! Captain Yoyo? β
Who's calling...... I felt the thorn move in my arms and reluctantly opened my eyes.
This is? It seems to be Kamizuki Izumo? Although there are not many scenes, you can feel that he is a gentle and sensitive person, and he looks very handsome! Very comfortable look!
Ah, I'm still thinking about it, it's a shame, as the captain, but I'm asleep here.
Quickly stand up and tidy up.
"Uh-Izumo, have you been here for a long time?" Look at the sky, "It's not time yet?" β
Thankfully, no one else saw me.
"I'm coming with the second team, they're already on their way!"
Dizzy, so to speak, the second team saw me......
"Yoyo-sama is sleeping soundly, so peaceful and beautiful, I really don't look like a ninja!" Izumo Kamizuki seemed to see my embarrassment.
"Ah~" I blushed when he said it, but fortunately, the sun also rose at this time.
Whoosh, members of the first team appeared one after another.
I, Shikamaru, Ninji, Izumo Kamizuki, Gangko Iron, and others...... I can only say sorry.
But they all seem to be gentle-looking people, so it's perfect for a team like this! However, except for me, they are all in the formation of the middle ninja...... Without the assistance of the second team, it is difficult to say whether it will be safe to return to Konoha .
In short, let's go!
The last time I went to Aomori no Sato, it took me five days on the road, and this time I was in a hurry, in addition to arranging for Ninji and another Nakashino to take turns on guard, my captain was also very idle, after all, there was also the Kakashi team in the shadows, and the vigilance was nothing more than a show.
I secretly asked Shikamaru for advice on the problems that might arise, how could someone with such a high IQ discard it!
The rest of the time, the main thing is to introduce the people in the team to the situation of several villages near Aomori no Sato, the terrain, the industry, etc., as well as the specialties of the Hino family, blood tsugu, etc., and they listen very carefully.
Nothing happened all the way. We arrived at Hino Village in three days, and the village chief Masao had already received a report from the scouts and was waiting for us at the entrance of the village.
"Miss Yoyo! It's really you! That's great! β
"Village Chief Zhengxiong, we will be a family from now on, hehe."
Hino Village actually has only thirty or forty residents, so it can be said that all the people are training their own people in a soldier's style, and there are many traps, so as long as you don't leave the village, it is still very safe.
"So, let's have a good night's rest today! We're all ready to go with you at any time. β
"Well, please, tonight!"
Our people are in a hurry, and we are indeed a little tired.
Assist the village chief Masao to arrange the team members, and I will go to Shikamaru.
"Shikamaru, which side do you think is most likely to be attacked if attacked?"
"Teacher Yoyo, in fact, after careful analysis, our trip should be very safe. For Yin Yin and Blood Yin, the Blood Inheritance and Secret Techniques they were interested in were no longer here; For the countries that need to borrow the country of Dawmori in the ninja war, the only one who needs to be attacked by the country of the forest into the country of fire is the country of thunder, but the current daimyo of the country of thunder is still close to Konoha. Therefore, once the enemy comes, it must be something we do not understand and are not familiar with. β
"The more you talk about it, the more worried I become......"
"Hehe, how can there be a foolproof plan in the world, just adapt to the situation when the time comes."
"Hmm. That's right, the plan hasn't changed quickly! "I casually said the buzzwords of my previous life.
"Yoyo-sensei's words are really incisive......" Shikamaru frowned and nodded.
