Chapter 54: Bonds
Two days later, the group of four finally returned to the village.
"Eh, after this mission, you must have a good rest, and go to the bathhouse in the commercial street, where you can ...... Hey, hey, hey."
Yu Kimura giggled vigorously, and Ling and Kirito ignored him directly, speeding up and distancing themselves from him, indicating that we didn't know each other.
Xia Sheng also looked disgusted, and threw him a look like a fool.
"Hey, what do you mean, don't you...... Do you want to go to the bathhouse with me? You'll have to pay for it! You had a serious look on his face.
The corners of Ling's mouth twitched in front of him, but the grimace mask blocked his expression, "They won't really...... I feel that this team is not reliable. ”
"Idiot!" Xia Sheng let out a low snort, and quickened his pace to keep up with the two in front of him.
Soon several people came to the underground base of the dark department.
"Okay, you guys wait a moment, I'll go report to the squadron leader." Kirito spoke, and entered another dark room in the mission hall.
Ling was not idle, and when he came to the task panel, the tasks of a few days ago had disappeared, and it seemed that they had been picked up or completed by other dark teams.
A few new missions have been added to it, but there are far fewer than a few days ago.
"Hey, Ling, the mission will be updated again tomorrow, it's useless to read it now." You on the side reminded.
"Oh, I see, but I see that there are a lot fewer tasks on the board, what are we going to do if there are no new tasks?" Ling was a little puzzled.
"Hey, you just joined, you don't know that." You had a smug look on his face.
"Ahem." Xia Sheng on the side couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted:
"This is because the war has just ended, and there are a lot of things to deal with, so the task is a bit heavy, and it won't be for a while.
At that time, there will be other arrangements in the village, such as village defense, border guard, intelligence inquiry, and so on. ”
Yu Kimura, who pretended to fail in the coercion, looked at Xia Sheng angrily, but was ignored by the other party.
"Eh, I'm back, you ......" A voice sounded, it was the captain Kirito.
"Hello, can't you live in peace? Why are you doing something again. ”
"Captain, I'...... But...... It's not ......" you want to cry without tears.
"This mission was well accomplished, and we also captured a senior intelligence officer of the other side, and we added an A-class mission record to each of us."
He then said, "But we'll be busy for the rest of the day. ”
"Huh? What a mission, didn't the war just end, and it should be much easier next. You's doubts were already written on his face.
Kirito didn't whet everyone's appetite either, and explained directly: "Hokage-sama has decided to clean up the surrounding rebels, starting with the border of our Fire Country, followed by the Country of Grass, the Country of Rivers, and even further. ”
"I see." Ling's face was sudden, it seemed that the three generations had already made up their minds, and they thought they were just talking.
"Huh? Ling, do you know something? Kirito asked when he saw Ling's expression change.
"Oh, that's the case......" Ling said in a low tone, recounting his previous mission and the situation of the rebellion in Iwain Village.
"Damn, these rock shinobi are so shameless!" Yu of the big nerve also gritted his teeth a little.
"Ling, don't worry about it, these things are in the past, it's time for them to pay the price." Kirito comforted.
"It's okay Captain. Don't forget to have dinner together in the evening and meet at the entrance of the building. Ling waved his hand.
"Got it, you won't be late."
"Alright then, let's disband. Yo, if you want to go to the bathhouse, hurry up, there will be few opportunities after today. Kirito reminded.
"Okay, I'll go now, Xia Sheng, you......"
……
At night, Konoha Commercial Street.
Unlike during the war, when there was a curfew in the village, the shopping street is now bustling with people even at night.
Inside the Ichiraku Noodle Restaurant.
"Ling, it's so delicious, compared to ramen, the barbecue is really not worth mentioning."
You's face was excited, and he shouted loudly.
The other guests on the side cast disdainful glances at him.
"You guy, you can't stop you if you have anything to eat." Xia Sheng sneered on the side.
"We know every corner of the village, but we didn't expect to miss such a good place."
You said with some regret and killed another bowl.
"Uncle, five more bowls." Ling shouted inside.
"Good. Ling, is this your companion? Uncle Yile asked with a squint, his tone as charitable as ever.
"Yes, I just joined the team, and I'll come to my uncle for a treat in the evening, and my uncle must give me a discount."
"Of course, since it's Ling, then it's no problem." Uncle Ichiraku responded with a smile.
"Ling, do you come here often?" Kirito asked.
"Yes, I've been here to eat ramen since I was five years old, and my uncle is very good." Ling explained with a smile.
"Oh, Ling, then you are so blessed to be able to enjoy such delicious food so early."
You on the side solved a big bowl and shouted.
In this way, in a dull day, Ling, You, Xia Sheng, and Kirito all know each other a lot.
Although Yu is a nervous look, his childhood was not wonderful, he was a war orphan, and he was picked up from outside the village. However, his grades in school were not bad, and he was out of the ranks of war cannon fodder and had the honor of becoming a dark department.
I have to say that Konoha has an extremely strong cohesion towards the villagers and ninjas, and although Yu looks like a child all day long, his love for the village is not much worse than that of the native Konoha ninja.
Well, a very ordinary ninja, this is Ling's evaluation of him, but because of this, he attaches more importance to feelings and bonds.
Hinata Natsusheng is a ninja who splits the Hyuga family, and his talent is not bad, not only can he use the Bagua Sixty-four Palms, but he has even learned the empty palm.
Like those ninjas who split up, being able to join the Shadows is also a family arrangement, to be precise, an arrangement of the clan, after all, joining the Shadows means power.
He is only seventeen years old this year, and he already has the strength of a special forbearance, and it is not a problem to grow up to become an elite forbearance, but it is a pity that he cannot control his own destiny.
As for the captain Koga Kirito, he is a family ninja, and the Koga family, Ling has not heard of it, and it seems to be a small family.
However, Kirito's talent is still very good, and because of this, he can get the guidance of "White Fang", and he is still young this year, and he may be able to go one step further in the future and become a quasi-shadow powerhouse and become the pillar of the family.
After a mission and a meal, a fragile bond has been established between the four of them, and in the next few years, they will face difficulties together, face life and death, and struggle together in the ninja world.
If Ling had no ambitions, no ideals, and lived like an ordinary Konoha ninja, maybe everything would have continued.
However, he is not a person who is happy to be comfortable, and a short period of peace will only make people gradually decay, if there is no ideal, what is the difference between him and salted fish.
What's more, there will be annihilation in the future, and there will be a big boss, as an Uchiha, he can't escape these, and he doesn't want to escape.
Instead of passively bearing it, it's better to take control of it all yourself!
has the advantage of crossing, if you can't change everything, you can't reach the top, it's a pity.
This is his way of forbearance!
