Chapter 158: Back to the Village
Leaving the grassland, the four figures rushed into the forest.
Successfully returning to the Land of Fire, the likelihood of being pursued drops dramatically, and the four of Xiong and Aoyagi gradually slow down.
"Captain, did you overdo it by lighting up the battlefield at the end?" Aoyagi was a little curious, and if it caused a fire, it would be troublesome. Serious damage to the environment is one thing, but it can also threaten nearby villages and towns. If it caused heavy losses, no matter how bad the grass ninja village was, it would still be a ninja village, and it should take revenge, especially at the moment when the strength of Konoha Village was greatly reduced.
In addition, the fire is likely to spread to the Fire Nation, causing losses to your side.
"There are already Otoshinobi who are going to rush to the battlefield, and with them, the fire will not spread. And that's just the right thing to hold them back. The bear kicked hard and jumped forward, leaving a footprint on the trunk, "In addition, I have controlled the size of the fire, and according to the number of enemies you provide and the time of arrival, they are fully capable of extinguishing the flames." ”
"Will the Grass Ninja Village be held accountable?"
"Without evidence, how can they be sure that Konoha Village did it?" Xiong paused, "Even if they know that Konoha Village did it, they can't prove it without evidence." ”
"There are fewer constraints on acting in the shadows, and that's the benefit of acting in the shadows." Eagle and Aoyagi walk side by side.
"Shadows, that's it. Sometimes, for the sake of the task, some special measures can be appropriately adopted. ”
After repairing in a neighboring town for half a day, they immediately set out on their way home, returning to Konoha Village.
At dusk, under the orange-yellow sunlight, the light and shadow of the entire Konoha Village were intertwined, and the four of Aoyagi returned to the boundary of Konoha Village just before dark.
"Whew~ It's good to be back safely." The fox stretched its body, and its muscles were a little tired and uncomfortable after a long walk.
"Let's go back to base first." Xiong pinned the certificate to the wall with kunai, and the four of them walked through the gate and stepped into the village.
They entered the underground base of the Shadow Division, first handed over the scroll obtained from the spy who was ambushed in the Grass Ninja Village and the body of the Grass Ninja sealed in the scroll, and after registering the completion of the mission, Xiong returned to the surface with the three of them.
Looking at the child in front of him, Xiong's heart was still quite satisfied, and his performance along the way was okay: "Your assessment results will be informed to you tomorrow, so go back and rest today." ”
"Aren't we eating together tonight?" Aoyagi asked tentatively. Eating together is a good way to build friendships, and in the past, the team would often have dinner and chat together after completing tasks, and this is how the relationship was slowly built and deepened.
"The dark side should try to keep private gatherings to a minimum." The bear's voice was still so undulating.
With a chuckle, the fox touched Aoyagi's head: "It's hard to go out on a mission, you little kid should go back to rest early." ”
Eagle clasped his hands on his chest and comforted Aoyagi: "Hahaha, don't mind. The captain is like that, just get used to it. There will be a chance next time. It's your first time on a mission in the shadows, so it's better to rest a lot. ”
Aoyagi's face has a black line, and even according to his physical age, he is not too small in the context of this world.
Although there were repairs along the way, Aoyagi was also very tired from rushing and carrying out tasks for so long, and because of the frequent use of his senses, his spirit was even worse, so it was good to be able to go back and rest early.
The bear has not changed much from before, but the fox and the eagle are not the same as when they were on a mission, so they have been adjusted to perform the mission better?
"Gone."
"Let's go first~"
"Looking forward to working together later."
The three of them disappeared in an instant, each leaving in one direction.
It's really crisp, Aoyagi stood still for a while, and the hunger in his stomach reminded him to eat quickly. Running to a quiet and remote corner of the forest, Aoyagi changed his outfit and changed from a dark person to an ordinary shinobi.
Leaving the forest, Aoyagi ran to a restaurant to fill his stomach. He is very happy with the feeling of fullness that comes from the hot, flavorful food.
When he goes out on a mission, except for repairing in the town, the rest of the time he eats dry and hard dry food, although he is not very picky about food, but it is also torture to eat this kind of thing all the time.
Specifically, it is a tasteless compressed biscuit, at most it has a salty taste to supplement the salt, similar to cold boiled water with a little salt. The compressed biscuits in the previous life at least have a taste to choose from, and the peanut flavor can be considered to be edible, and it feels good to eat it once in a while. But if you change the flavor of the compressed biscuits to a light salty taste, you will feel a little nauseous if you eat a little more. Thankfully, the mission is over.
Walking slowly all the way home, looking at the bustling crowds and dim lights on the street, Aoyagi felt a sense of time confusion.
Until today, during the day, he still lived a dark life where he was sleeping in the open air, mentally tense, and could encounter danger at all times, but now he is in a comfortable and prosperous environment. The difference between the two was so great that he always felt that the first time he was on a mission in the shadows seemed to be a long time ago.
After hastily washing up and returning to the bedroom, Aoyagi fell straight down on the bed, his hands outstretched, and lay on the soft cushion in a large shape. The body feels the comfort and complete relaxation that I have not felt for a long time, and it is really good to be at home.
"Ah————h I was going to lie down for a while and get up to record the situation of the mission and reflect on it, but as soon as I put my head on the pillow, sleepiness and tiredness filled my whole head, and I gradually became dazed and unable to continue thinking.
After struggling for a while, Aoyagi gave up. I don't care about anything today, so let's just sleep like this. Let's talk about it in the mental space.
………………
Sunlight pours into the room, penetrates the eyelids, and stimulates the brain. After the eyelids fluttered a few times, Aoyagi covered his eyes with his hands, and the irritating sensation disappeared, but at this time Aoyagi was also awake.
"Annoying, I forgot to close the curtains last night." Aoyagi had just woken up, and his speech was still a little slurred. After a while of turning on the machine, Aoyagi sat up, her hair messy.
"Alas, I didn't have an alarm clock just to sleep until I was full, but I didn't expect to wake up because I was blinded." Aoyagi stretched, "I can't sleep now, just get up." ”
Pushing open the window and looking out at the courtyard, Aoyagi took a deep breath of the crisp morning air.
What should I do today, I just came back from completing the mission, reduce the cultivation task a little, and find someone else to be there later.
