XLVII. Winter Solstice
When the scorching summer and cool autumn have passed, the prosperous Konoha Village has ushered in a cold winter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough it is said to be a land of fire, after winter, it is not a little warm, but it is snowy and frosty.
The people of the village have already passed the legend of cotton clothes and jackets, and when they walk on the road, they often breathe into their palms to relieve the cold.
Today, nothing special, Konoha is still that Konoha is.
The entrance to the village.
'Ding'!
The pass was nailed to the dark department on duty by a pure black kunai. He was taken aback.
As a qualified dark department, of course he will not be frightened by a common behavior that can no longer be common, there are not many people in Konoha who go out on missions every day, but there are always a few ninjas who go out every day and a few ninjas come back.
Generally, there are more people who go out and fewer people who come back.
Whether you go out or will come, you always have to nail the pass to the wall with kunai.
Pure black kunai.
But this time the kunai was very special, and the kunai with the pass card actually drew an arc in the air, perfectly stabbing on the wall in front of him.
This level of bitterness is rare. If it had been a few years ago, the Uchiha's people would have done this sometimes, but over the years, it has been largely invisible.
"It's them."
The dark department took the pass in his hand, looked towards the door, knew it in his heart, said hello to the three people, and let them clear the customs.
In the past few months, he has seen them many times, and every time he sends passes in this way, he has also heard that the captain of this squad has a very high level of forbearance, although it is only a medium ninja, but the actual level is almost no less than any upper ninja. It can be said that he is the strong man of the new generation of Konoha . Someone who will shine in the future.
And most importantly, the other two members of this squad are not weak at all. The dark department has been in Konoha for many years, and I feel that this team should be one of the best teams in Konoha now. He had even heard that the team's mission completion rate was as high as 90 percent, and that it had never failed except for one mission to escort the daimyo who committed suicide due to depression.
He sighed, thinking of his youthful days, and couldn't help but sigh.
The three of them, naturally, are Riki, Rin, and Suzumiya Zhicheng.
Wrong.
It's the pear wood whose lips are pale from the cold.,Warm Rin.,And the upper body wrapped in a towel is still warm.,The lower half of the body is shivering.。
'Ah Qiang'
Riki sneezed.
Very strange sound is not.
Actually, it's not surprising, because there is really no better word to describe Riki's ugly sneezing.
"Captain, why is this happening?" Lianggong Zhicheng's lips were pale.
Limu trembled and said, "How do I know." ”
Suzumiya said, "How does Rin know?" ”
Wearing a white cotton jacket, a white scarf, and white cotton gloves, Rin Hinata smiled faintly and said, "I read the newspaper." ”
In this world, there are newspapers, and they are distributed in various countries. The newspaper of the Land of Fire is called 'Hayashi Bao', a daily magazine, which carries some of the biggest news from all over the world.
Riki thought about it, and it seemed that before leaving, he repeatedly told him every day to wear more, but unfortunately he was practicing kunai to a hearty place, so he forgot about it.
He and Liang Gong glanced at each other, looking extremely depressed.
It started a week ago, and if you want to elaborate, it starts three months ago.
After returning from the Land of Wind, the three of Riki officially began their mid-ninja careers, and Konoha also had an additional ninja team called 'Cocoon'.
I have to say that the strength of the three of them is really good, in all fairness, the strength of Riki and Hinata Rin can be regarded as outstanding in the middle ninja. This is also thanks to the fact that Jiraiya once helped Limu exercise Chakra, otherwise he would not have been able to have the amount of Chakra in such a short period of time because he had poor chakra refining qualifications.
And although Hinata Rin is very soft, but the practice is also extremely hard, plus her talent in all aspects is very strong, the progress is naturally very fast, she used to be able to resist the little dog and the immature girl of the middle ninja head-on, with her white eyes, the soft fist of the Hyuga family and the actual combat in the past few months, it is natural to have the strength of the middle ninja.
Of course, if she encounters a particularly strong and extremely experienced middle ninja, her shortcomings are also easy to expose, that is, without a strong ninjutsu, it is easy to be kite-flyed.
It's ridiculous to say that the most capable of 'fighting' among the three is Rin as a girl.
When it comes to the most capable of fighting, it is necessary to mention the most unbeatable. Riki used to not be able to fight very well, but in the past few months, he has successfully improved Kunai's proficiency to proficient, and with his rich combat experience, hand-to-hand combat is actually quite good. But Lianggong is really weak.
As an illusion-type ninja, while his mental power is strong, his physical strength is much weaker than that of ninjas of the same level, and his own chakra is only at the level of medium ninja, and it is completely useless to fight hard with the enemy.
He relied on the powerful illusion he learned from Miao Mushan and the spirit that was constantly honed and extremely powerful.
A team of three people with decent strength has a high mission completion rate.
Although no one in the ninja world knows about them yet, the ninjas in Konoha Village have all heard of the Cocoon Team and probably know the names of several of them.
And just a week ago, Riki chose a B-rank mission in the country of grass, and the task was to assassinate Taro Mura, the daimyo of the country of grass. They generally don't accept assassination missions, and Konoha is a notoriously peace-loving ninja village, and such missions have an impact on Konoha's reputation.
But Murataro is too famous, because he is a hereditary daimyo of the country of grass, born with a golden spoon in his mouth, extremely amorous, and extremely cruel, even in Konoha, Riki has heard some interesting rumors about Murataro. This adult is a figure who can stop children from crying in his daimyo's mansion.
So they went.
But what I didn't expect was.
In the territory of the country of grass, it turned out to be thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, covered in silver, full of enchantment.
The place of the assassination was in the wild.
I can't go to the back of the village and don't look for a store, I can't buy a piece of clothing if I want to, and finally because of the uncomfortable weather, when Hinata Rin didn't let her shave her eyebrows, and when she rode alone to smash Huanglong and assassinate Murataro, he and Suzumiya were almost planted in the hands of the guards outside Murataro. Fortunately, he has a big scroll, and he put a big move to solve the battle.
In short, miserable.
The three of them came out of the mission center, and after sharing the task reward, they prepared to separate. According to the agreement, in about two days, they will start the next mission.
Liang Gong wants to hone himself in actual combat, Riki wants to complete the task of the Book of Others, and by the way, he uses actual combat to train his ninja level, and Rin wants to become stronger.
The three of them walked to the intersection.
Rin suddenly said, "The day after tomorrow seems to be the winter solstice festival, should we rest for a few days?" ”
Limu was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it already the winter solstice?" ”
Before they knew it, it had been half a year since they graduated.
Rin smiled and bought a hot red bean ball on the side of the road, blew and ate the next one, her smart eyes were full of satisfaction, and she puffed out her mouth and said, "Yes." ”
Liang Gong looked at the red bean balls with blank eyes, thinking about whether he should buy one too, it felt very warm. He said casually: "It seems that yes, captain, let's take a two-day break, it's too cold, and we have to find a time to buy a dress." ”
This year's winter is a bit colder than usual.
Rin looked at Liang Gong's appearance, showed a childish smile, took another stick, skewered two balls and handed them to Liang Gong, the latter was so moved that he wanted to kneel on one knee, bow his head to his ears, be a cow and a horse, and report it in the next life. She continued, "There are many places in the Fire Nation that have a big event and there are discounted clothes for sale. Moreover, Konoha has also allowed ninjas to go out freely for the past two days. ”
She looked like she wanted to go.
Riki thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then, I announce, Cocoon Squad, rest for a week." It just so happened that I also went to accompany Hitomi in a few days, and I haven't seen her for a week. ”
When they landed, the three of them were much more relaxed.
Riki exhaled, frost forming in the air, and he muttered, "Okay, okay, go home and sleep, and help with homework every day, I don't know what the current ninja school is doing, where did we have any homework at that time." ”
Ryokiya ate the hot and sweet red bean balls, and answered, "Now the ninja school, that's it." ”
Rin also looked much happier, and after eating the red bean balls with Suzumiya, the three of them parted from the intersection and walked towards their own homes.
Light snow gradually drifted in the sky.
