Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Vanishing Figure
It rains all the time.
Ever since taking on this ghost mission, the sky feels like a hole has been broken. The pouring rain has never stopped, and the occasional nap is just a breath for God, accumulating more strength for the next time.
After hunting wild boars, the rainy season is coming!
The gradually thirsty earth was washed over and over again, so that the thousand-handed rope tree that played in the water finally realized what the real water escape was, and washed the earth.
At this time, the team of seven people who accompanied them, wearing their own raincoats, walked on the ground of the brown fire that turned up the mud.
The advancing team seems to be divided into three stages, walking at the forefront and leading the way are the two personal grass ninja guards of the ambassador of the country of grass, the ambassador of the country of grass and the mentor Sakumo Hagi in the middle, and finally the trio of the fifth class who are gradually identified as dragging oil bottles by the big after buying one and getting three free.
At this moment, Ambassador Grass Ninja gently tucked the luxurious raincoat on his body, and then walked side by side with Qimu Shuomao.
Sure enough, it felt safer to stand next to this ninja called Hachiki Shuomao, and the ambassador of the country of grass along the way always felt that no matter where he walked in the team, he had a feeling of uneasiness. But only when he can see the face of this ninja who doesn't care about him, he can make himself feel extremely relieved.
Just like the majestic and solemn portrait of Guan Gong posted on the door, you can give yourself a sense of security in the middle of the night. Although the other party doesn't give himself a good face, and he doesn't even have a few words, it's easy to use.
......
Hinata looked at the back of the teacher in front of him, and today's Hagi Shuomao seemed to be back to the moment when he first saw him. It's like when I took over the three of them for the first time in ninja school, I was so cold and unrelenting.
No, there's even something more.
Behind that, the "White Fang Blade", which has been mentioned countless times in anime, is a short blade that resounded in the ninja world with the name of a legendary ninja.
Hinata who was walking behind stared at it for a long time, but he still couldn't understand what was so special about it? Although I don't have a hobby of collecting the "ninja knife" in the legend of the entire ninja world, I am also very curious about what this ninja knife that glows in the hands of White Fang, but is broken in the hands of Hachiki Wugokai.
At this point, the only thing that makes the difference special is its, itsβ
"Short".
It's so short that it can't even be said to be a knife!
According to the accurate calculation of the white eyes of the day difference who was frowning at this time, "The blade of the white fang is 28 centimeters long, and the handle that is now unwrapped and exposed is 11 centimeters long." βγ
In other words, this short blade is a short knife with a "blade length" of only 17 centimeters, which is less than seven or eight centimeters longer than the kunai that is usually practiced for throwing?
What kind of principle is this, so that the day difference at this time is incomprehensible!!
"Mikoto Mikoto, do you think the dagger on the teacher's back is very special??" The Thousand Hands Rope Tree, which gradually couldn't bear the loneliness in the rain, also looked at the short blade for a long time, and then finally came to the fallacy of the "dagger" when the rain was light.
"Well, it's very special, I've never seen a teacher take it. It seems that it is because of this mission that it is specially and specially zoned!! Speaking of this, Mai Koto suddenly became a little nervous, even in the previous task of cleaning up bandits, the teacher didn't bring this dagger, and this time...!!
"I must not let everyone's guard anymore, Hizasa-kun" Mikoto secretly clenched her fists that were weak in the eyes of others, and took a deep look at the suddenly tangled Hiza, "Is he also worried?" βγ
However, at this moment, I don't have too much to worry about the day difference, am I afraid of the father who is open in Qimu?
The reason why he was holding his forehead at this time was tangled: "Sure enough, the bear child finally regarded the blade of the white fang as a dagger, then he TM is a knife, the blade of the legendary ninja with the white fang" and glanced at the short blade that was really not good-looking, and at this time, the day difference was too lazy to correct the fallacy of the thousand hand rope tree.
Well, it's just waiting for itβ
When it is pulled out, see it again!
The short blade stood silently on the spine of Hachiki Shuo Shige's vest, blocking the center of the red vortex symbol of Konoha in the Land of Fire behind him. Unlike all the blades hanging on his body, this blade of white fangs did not shake at all as he walked forward.
Standing, straight.
In the inexplicable guesses of the three of them, the front finally reached the border of the land of fire and the country of grass.
These days, the walk is relatively calm, except that it will be washed by the rain a few times a day. At least no ninja from an enemy country dares to cause trouble for no reason in the territory of the strongest Fire Country, which is equivalent to openly tearing up the peace that is still maintained.
The first shot is never the one who dares to put it if they want to!!
Wearing a raincoat, Rizai also opened his eyes to explore this strange rain!
"Ordinary rain" is nothing special, and it can only be blamed on the fact that this mission has caught up with an upsetting rainy season.
The second time out of the village, because Konoha gave the elite ninja Hachiki Sakushige's task:
"Escort the ambassador of the Allied Grass Country back to the village safely".
The country of grass, Hinata learned from the ninja information before leaving:
It's a small country sandwiched between the two great powers of Earth and Fire, and it has two neighbors that are not weak. Don't be the wild country of rain, and the country of Taki who dared to assassinate the first Hokage Senju Pillar.
This small country that was once destroyed, just like its name - grass fluttering in the wind!!
This small country ninja village, which has experienced the ordeal of a great country, often uses the diplomacy that he has excelled at many years to interpret the movements of a powerful country in advance and take the lead in acting. Like weeds, when the wind blows, he is blown to the strongest side.
"Ah, I'm finally going back to my country! Has Lord Shuo ever been to our Grass Country? The ambassador of the Grass Country, who was close to his own territory, seemed to relax and began to take the initiative to communicate with the representatives of the Fire Country. Along the way, my worries seem to be superfluous, except for the non-stop rain, nothing bad happened, it seems that I am thinking too much.
"Never been." Qimu Shuomao, who went out on the mission, has always maintained a serious attitude, and the "four words" are not at all water.
"Hahahaha, yes, then I will definitely fulfill the friendship of the landlord later!" At this time, the ambassador of the grass ninja was like a hot face on the other party's cold ass, and even the original affectionate title was changed to a respectful adult title.
"Doctor Green, what does the country of grass look like?" Rope tree, who has always been active, really couldn't wait to ask, if it wasn't for the rain that couldn't hear the conversation clearly, he wouldn't have only exchanged the name of the ambassador of the country of grass. Maybe I've already learned all the customs and customs, and I haven't asked about the situation in the country of grass until now.
"O Grass Country, located between the Land Country and the Fire Country" The Grass Ninja Ambassador, who was identified as Midori Doctor, seems to have deliberately emphasized the location of the "Great Powers".
"Our country has abundant rain and a warm climate, which makes it a more suitable country for vegetation than the land of fire. Rich in all kinds of precious herbs and flowers, it is definitely the most beautiful country! "Everybody's description of their hometown seems to be the same, and they're running out of beautiful words.
"yes, then I must have a good look at it!!" The Thousand Hands Rope Tree finally revealed the nature of his wealthy son, and he couldn't restrain himself and was not cautious in the task.
The two talked happily, and the atmosphere of the team became more and more active at this moment!!
At this time, the country of grass also exerted its own natural conditions, and a large number of herbs were planted in ninja battles and national wars.
Small countries but widows but no strength of their own lack of pricing power for resources, just like the waste of "rare earths" in China. But for a small country, such conditions can still make a lot of money for their high-level leaders, and they behave like the local tyrants who sell oil in the Middle East.
......
Walking, a light rain is falling.
The landscape ahead changed rapidly as the pace of progress was made, and the brown soil on the border of the Fire Nation had gradually turned into a verdant meadow after just a few dozen minutes of walking.
While the chakra of the ninja world gives ninjas special abilities, it also seems to affect their different personalities. However, at this moment, it seems to affect the whole face of nature as well. The front foot is still the brown mud of the Fire Country, and the back foot has stepped into the verdant grass of the Grass Country. The day difference also seems to recall the experience of this life and the plot he once watched:
The land in the Land of Fire seems to be red and brown in addition to its earthy yellow;
The land of the land of the earth is obviously gray, and even the color of the building materials is darker and darker;
The protruding stone forest of the Land of Thunder and the adjacent part, the bare part of the leakage, revealing a large amount of earthy yellow;
Not to mention the land of wind, which is biased towards the golden yellow of sand, like an endless desert;
Not to mention the only island nation in the Land of Water, the blue that dominates the main sea surpasses the color of all lands.
As he walked, when the green doctor finally stepped out of the red-rock territory of the Fire Country, he stood on the verdant green grass of the Grass Country.
At this moment, the mood of returning home came spontaneously, and even the light rain that still continued seemed to become smaller!
In this green space, the grass grows and the warbler flies.
The vision in front of me seems to have changed from a light green turf to a vast grassland in an instant, and the changes in the natural environment at this moment have almost made everyone feel refreshed, except for the flag wood Shuomao, who does not know how to appreciate.
The grass on the earth seems to be green and unreal, and the beauty is indescribable.
Hinata enjoyed the scenery that was not available in the 21st century in the haze, and the Thousand Hand Rope Tree in front of him and Mikoto Uchiha behind him, the three of them seemed to have never seen such a natural beauty, and kept following behind the Grass Shinobi Ambassador.
"Very good-looking" is the first time to go abroad to appreciate the natural beauty of other countries, and I can't help but praise the people around me.
People around you!
Who's around?
Like, something touched you?
Hinata jerked for a moment, fiercely controlling his body not to move forward, but the green grassland seemed to suddenly begin to grow wildly. But the three grass ninjas and the Thousand Hand Rope Tree in front of them, who were still admiring the scenery, seemed to have disappeared from view in an instant, and they were lost in the vast grassland!
The beautiful scenery made them obsessed, lingering, cheerful, and excited, and even wanted to lie down on this grass and take a nap with Mai Koto doing nothing.
Mai Trin!
Where is it?
He twisted his neck with difficulty, but he couldn't turn back as if there was something beautiful in front of him.
When the day difference finally turned his head in a daze, the teacher Qimu Shuomao was no more. Mai Trin, who was also a few steps behind, was reaching out to herself and calling, as if she had touched herself?
"~~~~" Mai Trin is desperately shouting something, but she can't hear it clearly?
Hinata raised his right hand with difficulty, mobilized the strength of his whole body to control his body and grabbed Mikoto's hand, but he could only see Mikoto in front of him, who suddenly didn't know what to drag and flew back, leaving him little by little!
Hiza chased after her desperately, straightening his right hand and grabbing it.
The coldness of the tentacles!
Finally touched her hand, but he couldn't catch it and slipped out and slipped through his palm.
Then, the beautiful woman faded away in front of the sunset and gradually disappeared into the green whirlpool!!
At this time, when the heart-wrenching day difference looked up again, the scenery behind was still the vast grassland. The brown dirt of the Fire Country, which has not been two steps forward, is no longer there?
He raised his right hand, which touched Mikoto, as if he had been drenched in something.
On that wet right hand!
"Rain".
