The Second Shinobi War has been over for a long time, but the skirmishes show no end in sight.

Attached to the five major countries, there are countless effects and blood families, they are weak and cannot shake the status of the great powers, but they can set their sights on equally weak existences.

Nibby, plunder, or sheer desire.

Whatever the reason, the strife between small countries has never stopped, and they seem to be creatures in nature, survival of the fittest.

~~~~~~

The power indicator of this world is ninjas, but the rules of this world are set by politics.

Therefore!

The ninja village is attached to the big country, the big country has the existence of a daimyo, and the ninja village also has the existence of the Hokage, all of this is not accidental.

However.

There is always darkness in politics.

So!

The big countries and the ninja villages, which have begun to pay attention to the cultivation and recuperation, sit back and watch the collision between small countries, and do not interfere on the surface, but secretly let the ninja villages take over the tasks and make profits, and the big countries can also take the opportunity to show the power of the regime and obtain unexpected benefits.

The Land of Fire and Konoha, which were the biggest beneficiaries of World War II, have received similar missions from various countries based on the general recognition of their great strength.

The New Year had passed, and they had enough time to rest for the winter night, and it was almost time to start completing the task again.

Because Hinata Snow and Mitarai are children of the family, there is not much time that can really be used for practice, and more time is spent on maintaining relatives within the family.

For them, the experience of completing the mission and the possible battles will undoubtedly help them adapt to their rusty bodies more quickly.

Compared with the simple ideas of the two of them, Winter Night is a little more utilitarian.

Although there is also the idea of absorbing actual combat experience, but more still.

After graduating from the ninja school, there is no pension to receive on a winter night.,Although the usual needs of life are not urgent.,But.。

After a thousand words, money is still very important, and the completion of the mission is undoubtedly the only way for him to get paid as a ninja.

Because of different and the same reasons, the three of them gathered together very tacitly, and the time and place were set before the New Year.

The two who arrived early were Fuyuya and Mitarai, the scene where the discussion first began.

And the Hinata snow that came next, for her, it was naturally impossible to be late.

She just did her usual work in advance before meeting the two.

~~~~~~

"The Grey Country?"

"I don't seem to have been there before."

While muttering to himself, he stretched out his hand to express nature, took the scroll from Winter Night's hand and looked at it in its entirety.

"Really?"

Obviously a ninja, but Winter Night doesn't have too deep memories of the places he has visited, as he never retains the responsibility of remembering the tasks he has completed for too long.

"Nope."

The concurring opinion came from the only woman.

"Is it just a B-class mission? Obviously, I still want to show my skills. ”

"But is this time also a guard mission?"

Before, I had only glimpsed a little information from the side of the winter night, but at this moment, Mitarai, who had finished watching the task in its entirety, said with a tone of surprise after a depressed and turning point.

"Even if we become a middle ninja, the highest task we can take on is only B-level."

"If there is a problem, you can solve it with the third generation."

Hearing Mitarai's complaint, Hinata Xue naturally responded, maybe she guessed the other party's reaction in advance.

The most intuitive effect of the ninja hierarchy is to limit the range of tasks that can be taken, which is also to minimize unnecessary deaths and injuries of ninjas, and improve the accurate distribution of ninjas.

The middle ninja generally takes B-level and C-level tasks, and the tasks that exceed the ninja strength requirements are generally released, and they will be explained by the three generations of Hokage himself, of course, in most cases, there is the right to refuse.

"You didn't mean to?"

"I thought you were ······"

He didn't get angry, rather, he had a strange expression on his face, and then immediately after realizing a certain reality, he deliberately became pretended to be profound.

"Any questions?"

"Or are you scared?"

Squinted eyes saw Mitarai's weird smile, Hinata Xue's inevitable slight poisonous tongue, and the means of agitation were subconsciously used.

"Don't you think it's a coincidence?"

"The first task of the new year."

"B-class, escort caravan, Orochimaru-sensei."

Obviously enjoy the process of solving the mystery like a detective, but at the most perfect and climax, the words are snatched!

Be rendered speechless?

No, it's worse than that.

The Adam's apple, which was barely stretched again, swallowed saliva far more than a minute long in that moment, and the rich sorrow was enough to disrupt the physiological cycle, and all this, this vicious thing endowed.

That feeling!

That kind of despair!

Like going to the toilet without tissue?

And then!

It is conceivable that the psychological shadow area of Mitarai at this moment!

It's not the worst thing, it's the most unbearable.

It is obviously the party who has done such a [vicious] thing, but his face is quiet with a faint pain, and he seems to have no sense of all this.

"Rukawa-senpai, you mean."

"Did Orochimaru-sensei take us on the initial mission?"

"Indeed, on the surface, they are all similar."

Hinata Snow is not a stupid person, and from the clues that she gathered, she also got the truth she knew.

Then, as if she had seen through the vanity that had been swollen in her heart for a moment before Mitarai, she deliberately and clearly showed her disdain.

"Isn't the first mission of the new year and the previous [first] mission very memorable?"

"Our first B-level mission, when I think about it, there was Orochimaru Teacher at the time, and it was really reassuring."

"Even though one of them almost died."

Subconsciously ignoring the gray memories of a certain period of time, Mitarai.,The former sentence is still obsessed with memories.,The latter sentence immediately reveals his true intentions.。

"yes, I almost killed you at the time."

"It's really a little scary to think about it now, after all, without you, there won't be enough people to participate in the Zhongnin assessment."

Winter Night's nod of approval, it seems that after some careful thought, the words that came out went straight to the essence, making Mitarai's face flush, which belonged to the range of annoyance and anger.

"It feels like everything was just experienced not long ago, and it's already a middle ninja."

"If you want to praise yourself for becoming a shinobi in a short period of time, I also thank you for complimenting me."

Hinata Yuki also rarely wants to experience good memories or something, but the dead Mitarai has just provoked the winter night, so he immediately aimed his gun at his true [mortal enemy]!

~~~~~~

"I'll contact you for the caravan, and I'll tell you when the departure time is confirmed."

"I'll leave it to you."

After the quarrel, the three of them talked about serious things, Hinata Xue generously took over the complicated things, and the other two were used to not refuse.

The team without Orochimaru is unstable, and it is Hinata Snow who coordinates all this, from the selection of accepting the task and the report of the mission afterwards, it is basically her one dragon, and the other two are only responsible for fighting.
