Chapter XXXVIII

"Let's go!"

With the words of the clouds in the mountains, all four members of the Shanmei team, who were ready to go, disappeared from the gate of the border camp in a flash, and rushed into the dense forest, like monkeys shuttling through the forest, constantly jumping forward.

They will be followed by a five-day daily patrol mission aimed at patrolling the coastal border area.

Of course, in the huge border area close to the sea in the Fire Country, it is definitely not enough for them to patrol alone, so in front of them, there are already several squads set off, and behind them, there will also be several squads set off later, but the departure time between them is slightly staggered, the purpose is naturally to not give the fog a gap to take advantage of.

"Patrols are becoming more frequent."

The clouds in the mountains jumped between the branches, her voice tinged with lingering worry.

"yes."

Nara Mirage sighed slightly, and his heart was equally heavy.

Although Konoha and Kirigakure have not clashed since the death of Hinata Iwafu, both sides seem to be very restrained, but there is an invisible oppressive atmosphere that envelops everyone.

Both sides know that this kind of "peace" will definitely not last long, and the current tranquility is only the calm before the storm, and the atmosphere of slaughter has long been permeating this border, and perhaps the next moment, war will break out.

"I don't know when reinforcements will arrive, with the current ninja configuration in the border camp, it's just peacetime, but at this time, it's a little stretched."

Yamashan Meiyun frowned slightly.

"It should be soon, maybe they will have arrived when they return from this patrol, and I heard that this time it will be led by Orochimaru-sama."

When it comes to Orochimaru, Nara Shinji has a little bit of adoration in his tone.

The current Orochimaru, although he has begun to carry out horrific human experiments for "eternal life", but after all, it was carried out secretly and was not known by the people in the village, so on the surface, he is still that talented genius powerhouse.

Coupled with the title of three ninjas obtained in World War II, he has faintly become the best candidate for the next Hokage, and his reputation is even higher than Jiraiya and Tsunade Hime, as for Bo Feng Shuimen, although he has already emerged, the third ninja war that achieved his "Yellow Flash" title has not yet started, so his reputation in the village is not very high.

In this case, there are naturally many young people and girls in the village who regard Orochimaru as a role model and an object of worship, and there is no doubt that this is the case with Nara Terra.

"Led by Orochimaru?!"

Hearing the news, Sato's new footsteps paused slightly and exclaimed.

For the person of Orochimaru, Sato Shin is frightened and jealous.

I can't help him, this person is really too dangerous!

In Sato Shin's view, Orochimaru is a mad "scientist", and for the sake of "research", he can indifferently regard his companions as grass mustard, and use his companions in the same village as experimental "materials" with peace of mind, which is terrifying to think about.

In a way, Orochimaru is a more dangerous figure than Danzo.

If you fall into the hands of Tuan Zang, your body will not help yourself, and will become a tool in the hands of Tuan Zang, and if you fall into the hands of Orochimaru, it will not be as simple as freedom, he will directly use you as the "material" of the experiment, and conduct all kinds of experiments on your body that make your scalp tingle just thinking about it, and your treatment may not even be as good as that of a guinea pig.

So for the person of Orochimaru, he is as far away as he is, and he resolutely does not let himself have any possibility of contact with Orochimaru, and after hearing that the reinforcement leader this time is Orochimaru, his mood suddenly deteriorated.

In the same camp, it is probably inevitable to meet Orochimaru in the future, although Orochimaru should not notice him, but it still makes him feel like a man's back, like a hare and a poisonous snake eating and living together, although the poisonous snake may not necessarily eat it, but it will still make the hare in fear every day.

"Yes, this reinforcement is indeed led by Orochimaru-sama, what's wrong?"

Nara Shinji glanced at Shin Sato, who exclaimed in surprise, strangely, and then said with a look on his own face.

"Hey, you're also an admirer of Orochimaru-sama, right? I didn't expect the two of us to fall in love, and we are both admirers of Orochimaru-sama! ”

Nara Shinji's gaze at Sato Shin suddenly became a lot more friendly, as if he was meeting a like-minded partner.

"An admirer of Orochimaru? What the hell is this?! ”

Sato Shin's heart has a messy feeling of 10,000 words ***, he is afraid that Orochimaru is afraid to die, but he is mistaken for an admirer of Orochimaru, this is the trouble?

But in order to cover up his gaffe just now, he had to follow Nara Phantom's words.

"Well, I'm also an admirer of Orochimaru-sama!"

"Brother has vision!"

Nara Phantom slapped Sato Shin on the shoulder, and the more he looked at Sato Shin, the more pleasing he felt to the eye.

"Okay, don't say any more, you're about to leave the camp range, be careful!"

At this time, the mountain clouds commanded loudly.

"Yes!"

Sato Shin and the others nodded yes.

At noon, the four of Sato stopped to rest in a high-lying seaside forest.

The gentle sea breeze blows across the sea, bringing a refreshing coolness, and the surroundings are peaceful, except for the rustling of leaves blown by the sea breeze.

Sato Shin came to the edge of the jungle and looked into the distance, this was the second time in his life that he had seen the sea, and it was the first time that he surrounded and suppressed the Wild Water Bay pirates that evening.

Different from the slightly dull color that night, the sea is now bluer, more beautiful and magnificent, looking from afar, it is like a huge boundless blue crystal, lying between heaven and earth, making people feel refreshed, it turns out that the world is so wide!

"Here you go!"

Yamashan Mikumo walked over and handed him a piece of dry food and water.

It is definitely not possible to make a fire when you are out on a mission, after all, it is easy to expose yourself to the enemy's sight, so for the next five days, they will be fed with dry food.

"Thank you, Captain!"

Sato Shin took the dry food and water and ate it, although it was a little hard, but it was just water, and he could barely eat it.

And when he followed Ibika on a mission, he had already eaten dry food, so he didn't find it so difficult to swallow dry food.

"Captain, are we going to be patrolling the coastline for the next five days?"

Sato asked.

"Well, our task is to patrol the coastline to see if there is anything abnormal, and if we find anything abnormal, we must report it immediately."

Mikumo in the mountains looked at Sato Shin and asked.

"What's wrong? Worried about encountering a Fog Hidden Ninja? ”

"Well, I'm a little worried, after all, now Konoha's reinforcements are about to arrive, and if the fog wants to make a move before the reinforcements arrive, now is the best time."

Sato Shin nodded.

"Don't be afraid, our team has been patrolling for nearly a year, and we have never encountered a fog hidden ninja, so you don't have to worry!"

Yamashan Meiyun comforted.

"No, captain, I think Ah Xin's words are very reasonable, this time is indeed different from the past, we better be careful!"

Nara Terrasage walked over and said with a serious expression.

"Well, wait a minute, try to be careful when you hit the road."

Miyun nodded in the mountains.

She didn't understand the meaning of Sato Shin and Nara Fanji, but creating a depressing atmosphere in the team would only make herself mess up, which was even more taboo for the team.

"Well, that's all there is to it."

Nara Shinji nodded, his eyes thoughtful.

As a member of the Nara clan, although his IQ is not as perverted as Nara Shikaku, he is definitely the best among his peers, so he quickly understands Yamashine Mikumo's concerns.

"Alright, let's go!"

Carefully erasing the traces of the stay, the mountain clouds waved their hands, and the team set off again.

This time, Sato Shin was placed in the middle of the team, although in terms of strength, Sato Shin has been recognized by them, but strength does not mean that the ability to respond to emergencies is also strong, at this time, it is naturally experienced veterans who are more trusted.
