Chapter Twenty-Nine: Moving Forward
Chapter Twenty-Nine
At dusk, Chiyo holds the map in her hand and carefully studies it for hidden details.
Such a laid-back behavior caused Moth's displeasure, and she stopped what she was doing, "Hey, Chiyo, can't you come over and help us?" ”
"I've already told you, it's training you so that you can be independent."
Seeing that Chiyo didn't even raise her head, she wrinkled her nose, obviously dissatisfied with this explanation. Then his eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something, "Then give us a hint." ”
"Hint?"
"Yes." She clasped her hands together and said in a much more tactful tone, "I know that Chiyo is for our good, but if you are not good at it, you are not good at it." Rather than wasting time here, it would be better for you to mention it a little, and I promise that I will always remember your teachings in the future. Isn't that both convenient and effective? ”
Looking at Dai again, he obviously also heard the conversation between the moth and Chiyo, and when he saw Chiyo's gaze looking at him, Dai immediately followed the appearance of the moth, clasped his hands together, and he also bent over ninety degrees, and his attitude was much more sincere than that of the moth.
"Do you want a hint?" Chiyo thought about it in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that this was a roundabout solution. So he said, "The hint is what the team leader said" abnormality. What do you think would be called an anomaly? ”
"Where?" The two men in front of them tilted their heads together.
Chiyo looked at them for a moment, "Okay, I'll change the question." Do you think the places you're looking for are "anomalous"? ”
"Huh? Isn't it just on the trees or on the ground, can those scrolls be hidden in the sky? ”
Chiyo shook his head, then he looked at the sky, "You guys just think about it here, I'm going to get dinner." One thing to tell, this should be my last solo action. ”
"Huh? Why? ”
"Because we're almost close to the junction."
With that, he jumped up the tree and vanished.
After leaving the moth's field of vision, Chiyo controlled the chakra to seep into the muscles, and then accelerated violently.
This was indeed his last solo operation, so in addition to hunting for food, he had to get the Book of Earth to collect all three scrolls. That way, he can train the moths without any stress.
Because of this, Chiyo is now heading to the junction of the forests.
……
In the monitoring room of the Hokage Building, Yamashiro looked at a notice in his hand. "Is this Hokage-sama's order?"
Standing in front of him was a dark man, who nodded when he heard Yamashiro's question.
Fold the paper in his hand, Yamashiro said, "I understand." ”
Returning to his seat, Bai Zhu next to him really came up. Yamashiro simply and decisively told him what happened.
"Huh? Two more shadows are coming, and you want us to keep an eye on them at all times? ”
"We? Well, in that case, two people should be spied on two people. Very good, since Bai Zhu is so active, then the short man's dark part will be handed over to you! ”
Seeing that he still wanted to refuse, Yamashiro grabbed his shoulder in advance, and then looked at the other party with a "kind" face: "Think about the favor I helped you before." You shouldn't refuse, right, Shiratake? ”
"Well, hehe, but I'm interested in the Shinobi I'm observing."
As he was speaking, Bai Zhu felt the hand on his shoulder squeezing tighter and tighter, so he quickly changed his words: "But! I think I still have free time. When you think about it, it doesn't matter if you observe one more. ”
"Very well, then it's decided." Yamashiro said and looked at the screen in front of the other party, "Which one are you interested in?" ”
"Here." Bai Zhu's finger pointed to a small area on the big screen, "The one with black hair, the one with a knife on his back." ”
"Huh? He's too fast! ”
"That's why I'm interested in him. Don't you know, guess what I saw yesterday at noon? Speaking of this, Bai Zhu was obviously excited, and his tone was gloating: "I saw a dark part, he was secretly observing this child at that time, and guess what?" He was spotted red-handed by the kid......"
After that, there was a "hahahaha" sound.
……
In the evening in the forest, the light from the sky becomes very dark. When a person sits on the ground, he will find that only the tree in front of him is still colored, and the rest melts into the darkness.
There is no wind in the forest, especially in this large forest with unusually dense foliage. For a certain ninja squad on the ground, the atmosphere should be silent at this time, and everyone sits around the tree, silently eating dinner. Due to their close proximity to each other, they can even hear their teammates chewing.
That's how it should be.
But the situation suddenly changed, at first the default squad leader of the team stopped eating, and looked in a certain direction in the distance suspiciously.
The other two people also turned their heads when they saw this, and then found nothing. Before they could turn back, the three people sitting here opened their eyes wide and narrowed their pupils at the same time.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and I saw a figure speeding past the distance above, its body almost parallel to the ground.
As he passed by, he happened to put his foot on the tree directly above the ninja team, and as he exerted his strength, a footprint of the same shape instantly recessed into the landing place.
The above process was only a matter of a moment, and when the figure disappeared completely, the three people below reacted. They immediately threw away what they were holdings, took out their weapons, and quickly dispersed before looking around with a wary face.
Unfortunately, they didn't find anything, just waited for the gust of wind that followed the figure.
The wind was strong, not only its range, but also the speed and sound. The cone-shaped air, mixed with green leaves and ash from the ground, whistled past the ground and swept away the surrounding ground. It was accompanied by a loud noise, and the captain heard the sound that was coming from the wind that was still in the distance at the time.
When the wind disappeared, there were only three people left on the ground. They squinted, and although they were disgraced, they remained vigilant.
The air was quiet for a moment.
After a long time, the captain foamed at the mouth, and then gradually straightened up. "That guy should be gone, okay, it's okay." With that, he removed the leaves from his hair.
The other two also loosened their tense nerves after hearing this, and at the same time spat and foamed, and the woman wiped her face.
"What's the situation?" One of the team members asked the others in some surprise, and they looked at each other, unable to speak for a moment.
"Could it be a candidate passing by?" The woman said tentatively.
"Are you sure it's a candidate?"
Then there was silence.
