Chapter 38: The Wolf
Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Wolf
In general, the dark department will carry out tasks in small groups. So the day after bidding farewell to the former captain, Chiyo was assigned to another squad.
In the afternoon, according to the instructions of the Hokage, he came to the meeting place.
It was the top of a five-story building, and in the dazzling sunset, four masked men were waiting quietly. The warm light slanted down on them, casting long shadows on the golden ground.
Glancing at these future teammates, he only found that one of the members of this team was from the Nara clan.
Because Chiyo didn't deliberately hide it, the sound of jumping off the railing obviously alarmed these people, and they all slowly walked over, naturally forming a small arc as they approached. Take the one in the middle as the divider, with two on the left and one on the right. Apparently waiting for Chiyo to introduce himself.
"My name is Tsuru, and I will be your teammate from now on, following the Hokage's instructions. Through the mask, Chiyo looked left and right, and finally said to the person in the middle.
"I'm Eagle, the leader of this squad, and welcome to you. ”
Judging from the voice, this is a middle-aged male in his thirties, and normal dark troops grow up at this age.
"I'm a dolphin, please advise. ”
"Please advise."
He replied to the other party. The young man stood alone on the right, his voice sounding a little silly.
"I'm Tiger, welcome to join. ”
Young male, with a gentle voice, seems to be very easy to get along with.
"I'm a wolf. ”
The last Nara was a woman, a young man, and her voice sounded cold and unfluctuating, and because she was wearing a mask, it was not clear whether she was a "beauty" or not, but the "iceberg" was almost certain.
One step to the right, Chiyo and "dolphin" are tied.
At this time, the formation was symmetrical, but the position of the two people standing opposite each other seemed a little delicate to Chiyo.
Although the "wolf" is also standing next to the "tiger", the distance seems to be closer, and the position of the iceberg station is slightly behind, and it looks like the "tiger" is the main backbone. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but the shadows generally only have contact when doing tasks, and the private contacts are not close or even non-contactive, plus the voices they have at the same age, Chiyo prefers to believe that these two may have known each other before joining the shadows, and they are still classmates.
Interestingly, the female Nara seems to have taken a liking to the "Tiger" next to her, on the grounds that the distance between the "Tiger" and the opposite "Dolphin" is the same as that of the captain, which indicates that the shortening of the distance was done by the "Wolf" on his own initiative.
Under what circumstances would a mild guy let a woman do this? That's it: a crush. The woman, Nara, just silently liked him in her heart, and for various reasons, he didn't know that she liked him.
Combined with the unique intelligence of the Nara family, the reason can also be roughly speculated: because of the deliberate concealment of this female Nara.
This may explain why she behaves coldly in some ways: she likes someone but can't say it, and she is inevitably a little flustered, so her temper is naturally not very good.
When a smart person is determined to hide something, it is difficult for the person who is concealed to find out, because there is a saying in this world that "the right medicine is prescribed".
She only needs to grasp the balance according to some details of the other party, such as his habits, personality, intelligence, etc. It's like drawing a magic circle for the other party, as long as the circle is proportionate, and there are no accidents or outsiders to disturb you, then the people in the circle will never be able to detect the abnormality.
But Chiyo, as an outsider, is relatively less difficult to find.
In fact, without his perverted powers of observation and the leisure to observe a stranger, and the knowledge on which speculation depends, no one else would have discovered this "subtlety".
Of course, speculations like this become more and more inaccurate the further you go, but Chiyo is still interested in continuing to think about why his female teammates are reluctant to say her affection directly.
Is it because of shyness?
……
After introducing each other, it is time for the captain to say a few words, mainly to introduce the situation in the team.
While thinking about interesting things, Chiyo listened to the captain's introduction.
"According to Hokage-sama, you're a medical ninja?"
He nodded, "My medical skills are quite good, and my combat skills are also good, and I don't need special protection under normal circumstances." ”
"Oh, you're pretty confident."
"You've met your peers, Tiger, so it's up to you to ask our new members. ”
"Captain, you're joking, I just know a little bit about medical ninjutsu."
Chiyo is a little curious about the fact that "Tiger" also understands medical ninjutsu. Because in the introduction of the captain just now, the "tiger" is the main combat member, and in general, the combat effectiveness of medical ninjas is not very good.
The other party lowered his head and looked over, and by the way, Chiyo is twelve years old this year, short in height, and his teammates look at him from above.
"You're curious, aren't you? About why a medical ninja would be in charge of fighting. Actually, my situation is a bit special, strictly speaking I don't belong to the medical ninja, to be specific, the ninjutsu I use is very special, and you will understand these when we carry out the mission. ”
Due to the mask covering, the "tiger" couldn't see Chiyo's face, and he didn't notice the unfluctuating expression, so the other party also deliberately explained.
Then he asked, "Then regarding your medical ninjutsu, I would like to ask "Tsuru" what level of injury can you treat?" ”
"I don't have too much chakra. Therefore, almost all injuries can be treated within the limits of the amount of chakra allowed to be treated. ”
After Chiyo finished speaking, the other party should have been flustered. The other teammates also looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that such a thing could happen.
However, this is true, after two years of study, he has mastered the basic medical knowledge, which is enough for Chiyo to be familiar with the structure of this world, so it is no longer a problem for him to perform surgery.
There is no need to hide this fact. The more they get to know each other, the more rational the assignment will be, so as to minimize unnecessary casualties.
You know, the phrase "the most important thing for a squad is teamwork" is not something that ninjas use as decorations.
The captain was also there, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while he asked, "Crane, what is your chakra level?" ”
"I'm twelve, and the average amount of chakra for a ninja at this age is where I am now."
