Chapter 16: The Same Path

Mishino's words sent Hanyu into a long contemplation. There is a very simple truth that Hanyu has refused to think about and admit before - as an outsider, since he is out of step with this world, then all he can do is change himself to adapt and fit into this world, rather than asking the whole world to work with him.

How is that possible.

The reluctance to change himself in order to fit in with the world has exposed the conservative side of Hanyu's personality, but this is not right, and Hanyu has realized that it may be time for him to make a change...... At the very least, he should have more youthful vitality in him.

"Lord Sanshino, the enemy is the people of Iwakuin, and this time they are going to carry out the usual infiltration and sabotage operations, including but not limited to harassing the rear, sabotaging supplies, fixed-point smuggling and other conventional tasks of war, and they do not contain special purposes." Soon, the Uchiha Kagami finished interrogating the captives, and he found nothing to care about from the enemy. In a sense, this is good news, indicating that Iwakure has no special intentions for the Fire Nation for the time being.

No one would ask what was going on with those four enemies, because everyone knew their outcome.

"After Konoha and Yunyin were hit hard, Iwakuin seems to be very active." After hearing Uchiha's report, Mishino said. However, the activity of Iwakure can be said to be an inevitable result. In war, when we are weak and the enemy is strong, they will naturally take more frequent actions...... Taking advantage of the loss of the leader of Konoha and Yunyin, Iwakure, as an old enemy, will of course take the opportunity to gain an advantage in the war.

"Recently, most of the conflicts on our defensive line have broken out with Iwain, and I have to admit that now they have gained the initiative on the battlefield and even in strategy." Mito Menyan said, and his face could see the worry about the current war situation.

"So we are here to minimize the number of our enemies and solve some of our worries." Mishino said.

In the current war situation, Iwakure's main offensive direction is Yunyin and Konoha, and it takes a defensive posture in the direction of Sand Hide; Sand Hide is mainly attacking Konoha and Iwakuin; The Fire Country Konoha Hidden Village in the center of the continent has begun a comprehensive strategic contraction, and has adopted a stubborn posture after thwarting Yunyin's invasion; Yun Yin's original attack direction was Iwakuin and Konoha, but they had just lost the Thunder Shadow and had to learn Konoha to shrink their forces; The lonely Fog Hide is dealing with Yun Yin and Iwakuin further away, and they have no intention of making a big move against Konoha in this ninja war.

Coupled with the small ninja village in the middle of the big country, the whole world would have been in chaos, so there would be many people like Hanyu who had their homes destroyed by the war.

Of course, Hanyu couldn't interject about this kind of topic about the world situation, and after what had just happened, he didn't have much of the heart to speak. But he didn't feel sleepy, so he lit the fire again, hoping to dry his wet clothes before dawn.

There was a bright light in the night, and then the younger ninja sat down next to the campfire, and saw him untie the hood on top of his head and throw it into the fire, and then his gray hair, which was conspicuous in the night, was naturally revealed.

He saw Hanyu looking at him with some surprise, so he explained, "It's no longer usable to stick to the bloodstains, otherwise it will be easy for the enemy's scout ninjas to find out." ”

It's just that he doesn't know that the place he explained is not the same thing as what Hanyu was surprised about.

"Ahem, thank you for saving me just now, I haven't asked for advice yet...... What do you call it? Hanyu retracted his gaze, seemingly asking only out of courtesy.

"Qimu."

"What's the name below?"

"Kiki Shuomao."

“…… Then I get it. ”

"What?"

"Nothing." Of course, Hanyu couldn't say that he understood why the other party was so good at cutting people at such a young age.

Merely...... Is it true that the so-called geniuses can emerge at such an age, how do you say a word?

That's right, it's called standing out.

"There's a question, how do you do that kind of body movement at your age?" Perhaps to hide his attitude, Hanyu asked.

The physical skills and swordsmanship that Qimu Shuomao showed just now are clearly actual combat techniques that can only be obtained after countless life-and-death battles, but where did he get the fighting experience at his age?

Qimu seemed to be a little uncomfortable with this kind of compliment, he was a little embarrassed to reach out and touch the back of his head, and after thinking about it seriously, he said, "It's nothing special, just practice and practice." ”

“……”

The preface was withdrawn, and this person didn't seem to have any "embarrassed" thoughts. Listen, practice and practice, is he talking about human language?

"What about you, why are you suddenly able to use the Water Escape Ninjutsu, and it's also a B-level high-level Escape Technique? I heard that you only woke up Chakra for a long time. Qimu asked rhetorically.

Hanyu opened his mouth to speak, but found that he didn't seem to be able to explain, and after thinking about it, he had to reluctantly say, "I'll practice too." ”

This answer caused Hachiki to clapp his hands, and then looked at Hanyu with a "isn't that what it is" look.

However, can this be the same, whether it is to become a ninja or use the water escape, Hanyu is thanks to the second generation of Hokage, this is an acquired factor, and it is not the same thing as someone with a different talent like Hachiki Shuomao.

"Maybe I'll soon learn the art of escape as I practice." This child is so blessed and said without knowing the blessing.

Hanyu glanced at this guy, and then shook his head imperceptibly, a young man is a young man, after all, Qimu is not the Konoha White Fang later, he is a little insatiable.

Hanyu really wanted to ask him what he was doing with the art of retreat, and what was the use? No matter how gorgeous the ninjutsu is, can it stop his sword?

Amid the worries of the elders about the situation and the ignorance of the world among the young, the night passed quickly, and when dawn came, the well-rested ninja squad set off again.

It's just that the fatigue on Hanyu's body has not been eliminated, and his chakra has been in the process of continuous consumption since yesterday, especially after releasing a B-rank water escape ninjutsu. His chakra hadn't recovered much so far, but he still had to grit his teeth and follow the crowd.

Since they were not on a combat mission this time, but a more significant diplomatic and political mission, when crossing the border, the ninja squad did not make contact with Konoha's frontline troops, but deliberately exited the country through a secret route where there were neither their own people nor enemies.

"Here it is...... Tanokuni? After leaving the Land of Fire, the geography around him became familiar to Hanyu, as he had lived here for a long time...... Their current course of action is very similar to the route that Hanyu used to leave Tanokuni after meeting the second Hokage, and it can even be said to be the same.

"Sound familiar? This time, we didn't choose the nearest route from the Iron Country to the south, so we passed through here, and then you led the way...... You have placed the body of the second Hokage, but you haven't moved the enemy's body, right? Hopefully they're still there now. As the forest grew thicker, Mishino said to Hanyu.

"Find them, that's the best bargaining chip for us to negotiate with Yun Yin."

Hanyu still remembers this path, even if he only remembers a rough idea, as long as he finds the burned-out tree, all the locations will be clear.

As a result, his position was shifted to the front of the line.
