Chapter 45: It sucks
The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the konoha gate, through the gauzy mist, and the golden light was hazy.
Asakura, who had just woken up, felt that the residual sleepiness after he got up dissipated in the moment of the mist, and he was moist and refreshing, making him feel a little good.
At this time, there was a square cypress table at the gate, and the paper and pen of the table had already been prepared, which was used to register the people entering and leaving Konoha.
Due to the current war in various places, the number of refugees and business travelers coming to Konoha is continuing to increase steadily, because Konoha's reputation and strength are obvious to all, and of course, more importantly, stability, which is also something that everyone in Konoha will be proud of.
Due to the number of people, he was also temporarily assigned here after being promoted to Zhongnin, and his job was simple, fixed questions, detailed records, and at the same time paying attention to checking suspicious people, of course, the last point needs to be judged by his own subjective consciousness.
He has been doing this work for almost half a month, and he is familiar with it.
"Takuya senior, early!" Asakura greeted his predecessor politely and respectfully, this Takuya senior had instructed him before, he was very kind and his strength was outstanding, and he was also a ninja who had been on the battlefield of the Land of Rain before, and he didn't know how many times stronger than he was lucky enough to pass the middle ninja test.
"Morning!" The young man smiled with dark circles on his face, but he still couldn't hide his tiredness in his smile.
"Senior, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" Asakura asked strangely.
"Yes, there are too many things to tidy up, and it will be dawn just when I want to sleep, heh~" After speaking, I couldn't help but yawn.
"Then, or, senior, let's go back and rest first, while it's still early, there aren't many people, I'll just do it with Endo, he should be there in a while, if you don't take a break, you'll be even more sleepy in the afternoon when there are more people."
Takuya thought about it, and it was true, but he was still a little uneasy, and he still carefully instructed a few words, and finally patted him on the shoulder, "Then please leave it to you, call me immediately if you have something urgent." After speaking, he pointed to the rest hut behind the duty room.
……
The midday sun in June was already a little scorching.
After recording a morning, Asakura felt that his fingers were about to cramp, so he took advantage of the time when no one was around, put down the pen in his hand that was almost out of ink, straightened his waist and was about to bend down, twisted his sore neck again, and said casually, "Endo, let's go eat ramen at noon!" ”
The chubby man known as Endo stretched out his palm and placed it in front of Asakura, smiled, and said, "No, my family's Rina-sama has already prepared a love bento for me, so you can only eat ramen alone." ”
whispered to his best friend, "Forget what you see." After that, he was also ready to get up and call Takuya-senpai to replace him, and the time was almost just right.
However, at this moment, there was another clatter of clogs not far from the door, and Asakura had to sit back in his seat with a wry smile.
When he got closer, Asakura realized that it was a teenager.
The age looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a well-fitting gray kimono, and a bundle of black hair on the back hangs down to the waist, this kind of dress really doesn't look like a traveler who is out on the road, but if you talk about refugees, it is impossible, the fabric grade of this dress does not look low, this temperament is a bit like those nobles in the country of fire, but faintly he feels a little different, not a sense of luxury on the top, but ...... By the way, it's casual, casual and light.
There is another basis for judging that the other party is not a nobleman, that is, the other party is a person, and there is no retinue that calls forward and back.
But it is precisely because of this that it is more difficult for him to judge the identity of the other party.
This kind of special case is often the object of his greatest vigilance.
Cheering up, he asked, "Hello, please report your name." ”
"Hello, I'm Konoha's Kaminobi, and this is my forehead guard."
"From where...... Well? Asakura was slightly stunned, raised his head, and his eyes fell directly on the Konoha forehead guard in the other party's hand, and his expression became extremely serious for a while.
"Are you sure you're not joking?" Asakura's voice began to carry a hint of coldness, and at this moment, in his eyes, this person has been labeled as a problem!
"Of course."
"Let me ask again, where did this forehead guard come from?"
"Honestly, I really ......"
It's just that before he finished speaking, a handful of pitch-black kunai didn't know when it had been held in Asakura's hand.
When the young man saw this, his face suddenly showed a rather helpless expression.
It's just that in the next moment, Asakura was suddenly surprised to find that the kunai in his hand actually ran to the other party's fingers and began to shake.
How so?
Panic, surprise, and a sense of fear, the difference in strength made him feel a little incredible, who is this person? Also, how dare he make trouble here?
Endo on the side was also stunned when he saw this scene, and immediately stood by Asakura's side.
"You go and call Takuya senior, I'll drag it here!"
Endo nodded, and the chubby figure quickly disappeared from the field of vision of the two of them.
"It's only been half a year since I came back, and no one knows anyone here?" The boy muttered to himself, with a slight look of emotion on his face.
"What kind of person is Your Excellency, this is Konoha, one of the five major countries." Asakura stared at this delicate face as if he were facing a great enemy, in his opinion, this face was very unreal, and it was very likely that it was made of the transformation technique, but he still didn't know the purpose of the other party.
"Honestly, why doesn't anyone believe it?" The boy shook his head and walked straight forward, as if ready to ignore the Konoha ninja beside him.
"Stop!" Although he knew that he might not be an opponent, Asakura resolutely stopped in front.
"Courage is commendable!"
After such a sentence sounded in Asakura's ears, a breeze suddenly swept by his side, and when he came back to his senses, the figure of the other party had already appeared behind him.
For a moment, he suddenly had an extremely terrible thought, and he felt that his life and death seemed to be between the other party's thoughts.
But then what made him feel slightly relieved was that Takuya's seniors arrived.
He is very confident in this senior, because he has seen a competition between the other party and a certain person who is particularly forbearing.
However, what made him a little confused was that Takuya-senpai, whom he respected very much, showed a surprised expression when he saw the other party, and the first sentence he said was, "Captain Tanaka, you're back!" ”
The voice is not loud, and every word is clearly audible.
He calls the other party Captain Tanaka!
Those who can be qualified to be called the captain by Takuya's seniors, there should be no other possibilities other than Shangnin, right, so this young man really didn't lie?
Well, a drop of cold sweat suddenly flowed down his head, and at this time, he suddenly remembered the other party's very helpless tone before, and he interrupted the other party's explanation very rudely, and then shot at him.
It made such a bad impression on a shinobi, hehe, he felt as if he was in a torrential downpour in the wilderness, the sound of gurgling water flooded the whole world, and everything was terrible......
