Chapter 55: Departure, Hokage's decision
"Huh?"
Xuan Yu was still surprised by this sudden task, and suddenly his heart jumped, as if he felt a malicious gaze, but when he turned his head to look, there was no one in that direction.
"Delusion."
Hyun Woo didn't think much about it, and then approached the map and looked at it carefully.
Because he knew that since it was a designated task, there must be no room for refusal.
So he decisively began to memorize the information on the map in earnest.
In fact, he already knows something about such a large-scale collective task.
For example, the time to protect the scene of the actual combat drill is actually a task of this nature.
Designated tasks are usually given by the Hokage, and then the shadows draw up their own execution lists.
The next step is to notify the designated members of the Shadows to complete the mission.
On the map, information is mainly displayed in the rain country.
The Land of Rain is located in the middle of the three great powers of Earth, Fire, and Wind.
For a long time, it has been the site of frequent battles between the three great powers.
The enemies that may be encountered in this mission are likely to be the ninjas of Iwa Ninja Village in the Land Country.
Ninjas of the Land of the Wind, and Ninjas of the Land of Rain.
Xuan Yu knew that it seemed to be a very free mission, but the danger had long been hidden.
Since the war has not yet started in full swing, there have been some skirmishes between countries.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that a real war is inevitable, so even Konoha Village, which has always advocated peace.
Now, for the sake of peace in the village and to reduce casualties in wartime, it is necessary to gather information in advance.
According to the information on the map, Hyun Woo also roughly decided on a route of travel.
Since he is still a reserve member, according to the man just now, it means that tomorrow he will act alone, without a team member.
Hyun Yu couldn't help but feel a little weird, but he couldn't say the specifics.
If he is alone, although it will be much easier to move, there is no need to run in with his teammates.
But if anything happens, I'm afraid there won't even be anyone who can help him.
"It seems that we have to be more prepared this time."
Hyun Woo's eyes flickered, and after jotting down the information that should be remembered, he left the shadows directly.
Then he went back to the house and put away the clothes of the dark department, and then went to find a ninja shop on the street.
In addition to replenishing the basic ninja equipment, some other things have been purchased in case of emergency.
Then he found a wooded area and familiarized himself with his new purchases.
When he returned to the Thousand Hands Residence again, it was already night, and he didn't go to the two girls to talk about it again.
Anyway, Xuan Yu is not going to go deep into the Land of Rain, and he decided to explore the edge of the mission this time, so he should not be in any danger.
During this time, he also became more familiar with the two of them, and learned that Kushina now lives in the same room as Tsunade.
Kushina once complained to him, saying that Tsunade sometimes liked to sleep with her.
When she slept with Tsunade, she said that she always felt suffocated in the middle of the night, as if something was covering her face.
Xuan Yu didn't react when he heard it for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately swallowed his saliva, as if he had thought of some strange picture.
Somehow, I couldn't help but feel a trace of envy for Jiu Sinai in my heart.
Early the next morning.
After Hyun Woo prepared all the things, he still chose to leave a note before leaving.
After all, this time is estimated to be a long time, and he is also worried that Kushina and Tsunade will find out that he has not returned for too long.
However, what Xuan Woo didn't know was that two days after he left, Tsunade and Kushina realized that something was wrong, thinking that Xuan Woo had never returned.
It wasn't until the two of them saw the contents of the note that they knew that Xuan Yu had gone to the dark mission again, and it was estimated that it would take a long time.
Kushina was just very worried, but Tsunade thought of something wrong in his heart.
After that, he even found the three generations of Hokage to question, and the ape flying sun slash became more and more of a headache.
……
A moment later, Xuan Yu came to the gate of Konoha Village.
Hyun Woo didn't choose to put on the dark costume directly, but walked out in ordinary clothes.
The ninja guarding the door saw that it was Xuanyu, and he didn't stop it, after all, he was also a shinobi at this time, and it was very normal for him to go on a mission.
At this time, in the shadow on the side of the Konoha gate, a figure slowly walked out, looking at the back of Xuanyu leaving from a distance.
On his body, he was wearing the clothes of the Konoha Guard, and after confirming the direction of Xuanyu's departure, he quickly dodged away.
At the same time, behind a wall far from the two houses of the Konoha Gate, a member of the Hyuga clan was slowly retracting his eyes, and then he also dodged away.
……
A few hours after Hyun Woo's departure, the Hokage Building in Konoha Village.
Ape Fei Ri was reviewing the documents, and a figure suddenly flashed behind him at this time, but he didn't panic, and asked in a deep voice, "Shuo Mao, what happened?" ”
"Hokage-sama, look at the list of dark performers for this mission in the Land of Rain."
Instead of answering, he handed over a document.
Hearing this, Ape Feiri frowned, his face looked a little puzzled, and then he stopped what he was doing and reached out to catch it, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
Before he could finish reading it, his brows furrowed, and he said sternly: "Huh? Why is Hyun Woo's name on the list? He's just a reserve member, who arranged it? ... Don't? ”
Qimu Shuomao was silent for a moment, and then nodded with a cold face.
"It looks like it's really a group collection... This should have been done by the people he arranged for the roots, hmph, I thought he had converged a lot recently, but I didn't expect..."
Ape Fei Ri's face also became a little ugly, he picked up the pipe on the table and took a hard breath, and then continued to ask, "How long has Xuan Yu been gone at this time?" ”。
"Since the mission time was set for early in the morning, I asked the ninja on duty guarding the door, and he should have been gone for hours." Qimu Shuomao said in a deep voice.
"Have you even calculated the time... It seems that it can't be recovered..."
Hearing this, Ape Fei Ri couldn't help but get up, walked to the window and looked into the distance.
"Hokage-sama, what should we do now?" Qimu Shuomao asked in a deep voice with a cold face.
Ape Fei Ri's expression looked a little complicated, he thought about it, and then said with a serious face: "Now I can only hope that Xuanyu will not go too deep into the country of rain, although Tuan Zang has done this kind of thing, he should not dare to directly send someone to deal with Xuanyu." ”
Ape Fei Ri Chop also knows Tuan Zang very well, and the other party is not completely sure, so he will not do it himself.
Then, he continued to say in a cold voice: "By the way, investigate all the people involved in arranging this list, and find out that as long as it is the root, all of them will be recorded, if there is anything unexpected to Xuanyu..."
Sarutobi didn't continue to finish, but Hachiki Shuo Shigeru also understood what he meant.
Although he admired Xuan Woo very much, he also knew that as the Hokage, the ape flying sun.
It is impossible to choose to break the situation in Konoha Village just for the sake of Xuanyu, a genius who has not yet fully grown up.
What's more, now is the time when war is about to break out, and any move may affect Konoha's safety.
If Konoha himself messes up first, it is very likely that he will be devoured by other people who are eyeing him, which is what Sarutobi is most worried about.
Sakumo nodded in response, his eyes still showing an imperceptible hint of disappointment, and then retreated into the shadows and disappeared.
Ape Fei Ri Chop has been standing in place and silent, and suddenly sighed, looking at the prosperous scene of Konoha outside the window, his expression was very helpless.
