In the land of the Thousand Hands Clan, Masahiko's expression was a little disappointed, and he didn't get the news he wanted.

It has been nearly a year since Rope and Mai Koto got married, but Mai Koto still shows no signs of pregnancy, and the "monster" that Masahiko is looking forward to is far away.

"Mikoto's original book can give birth to Itachi and Sasuke, which proves that she should be fine, it can't be a rope tree...... right" Masahiko guessed maliciously in his heart.

"Grandpa Gao, you drink tea." It was Mikoto who spoke, and after marrying Rope Tree, his name for Masahiko also became Grandpa Gaozu.

Masahiko nodded, and glanced at the rope tree that was playing with Nagato Konan, and felt that the scene was somewhat familiar.

"At the beginning, I and Tsuruma were like this." Mito's voice came from the side, making Masahiko suddenly.

"The rope tree and the pillar are really similar, no matter how they look, or ...... personality," Masahiko sighed, and Mito nodded with a smile.

The peaceful days lasted for a few days, and Masahiko spent another New Year in Konoha, and the time came to the thirty-ninth year of Konoha.

As soon as the New Year passed, Masahiko took his three children to find Hizaki, but the result was not very satisfactory.

"No A-class missions?" Masahiko had a look on his face that you were teasing me.

Hizai smiled bitterly, "Elder Masahiko, the New Year has just passed, and there are not many missions to be released, and there are no A-level tasks. ”

"Isn't there a backlog of tasks from last year?"

Hinata shook his head, "Now Konoha has fewer missions than ninjas. ”

Masahiko was stunned for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully, the current Konoha is much stronger than in the original book.

"Why don't you take them with you for another two months?" Hizai then spoke.

Masahiko hesitated and shook his head. In just over two months, it will be the time for Kakashi to enroll, and he is afraid of missing it. Although he can use a shadow clone, he always feels that the shadow clone can do more things than the main body, so he doesn't want to use it easily.

"You don't have a mission here, so there's always a dark part, right? Like scouting other ninja villages or something? ”

Ri was stunned, "Yes, there is, but this kind of task is not suitable for ......"

"It's okay, you're still not at ease if I'm leading the team?"

Ri Chop smiled bitterly, and almost said: I am not at ease if you lead the team.

Eventually, Masahiko gave the three children a mission to find out about the Kusa Ninja Village, and it is rumored that they seem to have been in contact with the Sand Ninja Village a lot lately.

"I don't think I taught you how to detect and counter-detect, right?" On the way to Kusanoshi Village with his three children, Masahiko reacted.

"Probably not, teacher." Nagato replied.

"It's too late to teach now, you ......" Masahiko just wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't investigate and counter-investigate.

"I don't need anything like that......"

Masahiko glanced at the three children waiting to be taught, and sighed helplessly, he couldn't tell them that he didn't know, right?

"You first find the patrol team of the Grass Ninja Village, then attack them, and then use the transformation technique to transform into their appearance, and just sneak in to investigate." Masahiko began to teach indiscriminately, and anyway, with him not far away to protect, nothing would happen.

Nagato and Xiao Nan nodded again and again, but the fifteen-year-old Jiu Sinai was not so easy to deceive, so he secretly rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "You still have to rely on yourself." ”

Masahiko also heard it, but it was really embarrassing, so he could only pretend not to hear it.

Spent all the way in Masahiko's indiscriminate teaching, and came to a place about five kilometers away from Kusa Ninja Village.

Masahiko glanced at the surroundings and explained to the three children, "The rest of the journey depends on you, I'll retreat first." With that, he sank into the ground.

The three of them glanced at each other, and the side of Sister Jiu Xinnai's head was reflected, and she waved her hand, "Be careful, follow me." ”

The three of them hid their bodies and advanced, and after about three kilometers, Kushina signaled them to hide and found the patrolling ninjas of the Grass Ninja Village.

"Sister Jiu Sinai, shall we do it?" Nagato spoke innocently.

Xiao Nan tugged at his sleeve, "Don't, I don't feel right about the teacher's method." ”

Underground, the corners of Masahiko's mouth twitched slightly.

Kushina glanced at Xiao Nan, looking like you still have some future, and carefully observed the patrolling ninjas in the Grass Ninja Village.

"They seem to be carrying something?"

Masahiko's two disciples also observed carefully when they heard this, and Nagato hesitated to speak, "It seems that it was the box that we shipped out last time." ”

Jiu Sinai was stunned at first, and then happy.

"So, the Grass Ninja Village and the Sand Ninja Village have frequent contacts, is it that the Sand Ninja Village resold our detonation charm? Mission accomplished, we can go back! ”

Nagato and Konan hesitated, looked at each other and nodded, ready to leave.

Underground Masahiko sighed, I didn't expect such a coincidence, where is this an A-level mission, I'm afraid that the D-level is like this.

"No, this doesn't have the effect of exercising for a few children at all, and I have to make it more difficult for them to run for nothing."

As soon as Masahiko stared, a stone floated up and hit the forehead of a ninja in the Grass Ninja Village with flying speed.

"What people!"

The shouts came, and as soon as the three children were nervous, they immediately revealed their figures.

"Sister Jiushinai, how did they find out about us?"

"Leave that alone, let's run!"

Masahiko smiled, doing good deeds without leaving a name. looked at the ninjas of the grass ninja village who were chasing, one upper ninja, three middle ninja, and six lower ninja.

"This lineup ......" Masahiko pondered and nodded, "It should be evenly matched, I'll just take a look at it from the side." ”

The three children were really caught up, after all, they were still young, and although their ninjutsu abilities were very good, their physical strength was still not comparable to that of adult ninjas.

A fierce battle ensued, and as Masahiko had expected, the two sides were close in strength.

The ninjas of the grass ninja village were not in a hurry to attack, after all, the village was very close, and a ninja would soon arrive, and even used words to delay time.

"Three little ghosts, it looks like they should be from the Vortex Country, what do they want to do sneaky?"

To Masahiko's relief, the three children could see at a glance that the other party was deliberately delaying time and did not talk nonsense with them.

"Fire escape-fire extinguished!" Nagato's wide-area fire escape attack has been used very skillfully.

Jiu Sinai showed the demeanor of the eldest sister, and stopped the upper ninja of the grass ninja village alone.

Although Nagato doesn't have much actual combat, it is still a lot stronger than the middle and lower ninjas in the grass ninja village, and with the assistance of Xiaonan, he quickly gained the upper hand.

The battle lasted for ten minutes, and the Shinobi of Kusa Ninja Village had been completely wiped out, and the three children were also slightly injured, but Masahiko endured it and did not make a move.

The Grass Ninja Village has already discovered the battle here, and some of the ninjas are hurrying in.

Masahiko frowned underground, and said secretly in his heart: "It's almost." ”

As soon as he concentrated, the remaining four ninjas of the Grass Ninja Village broke their feet at the same time and were successfully killed by the three children.

The three children were stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to their senses and fled in the direction of Konoha, while Masahiko was responsible for adding some chaos to the ninjas of the Grass Ninja Village who were tracking, adding some "barricades".

In the end, the task that was forcibly increased in difficulty by Masahiko this time was finally successfully completed.
