The ninjas in Konoha Village don't have tasks, and when they gather in the village, they don't need to practice and work. Everyone will also go out shopping, eat some food, and soak in the hot springs, and the ninjas' small days can also be very nourishing.

The hot spring street of Konoha is a tourist resort integrating food, inns and hot spring centers, and adopts a multi-small and decentralized combination layout, focusing more on the integration of space and landscape, and many tourists come here all year round. Especially when you soak in the hot springs in spring, you can invigorate qi and blood, and completely open up the body that has been curled up all winter.

Although it is almost noon to choose, there are still many bathers in the hot spring street, such as the female bath swallow in the hot spring, or swimming in the pool, or playing in the water and laughing, and the graceful posture in the dense water vapor, and the lush forest and bamboo outside the open-air hot spring have their own merits. Such a wonderful scenery that even Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, often indulges in it and lingers.

The Uchiha Shizumasa squinted slightly, lazily lying on a massage chair by the pool, which was said to be a new product recently promoted by the underworld. The water at the bottom of the pool continued to surge under the action of the massage chair, impacting her body, like countless small fists hitting each part of her body lightly and gently.

“いいきもち。” Jing couldn't help but scream softly, the fatigue caused by the task suddenly disappeared, and the feeling of comfort was beyond words for a while.

"Uchiha Shizu, Hokage-sama has an order, go to the Hokage's office building immediately." An inopportune voice propped up Jing's eyelids, and she saw a purple-haired woman standing beside her, her tightly covered dark costume, which really ruined the scenery.

Jing winked at Mao Yue Xiyan twice, her cheeks bulged out like a hamster, she covered her ears with both hands, closed her eyes and turned her head without speaking.

"Urgent mission, Ming sent a message and asked Konoha for support." Xiyan couldn't laugh or cry, and helped Jing cover the sliding bath towel, "Pay attention, the three generations of Hokage-sama are looking over here." ”

"What? That perverted old man! Even I want to peep? Shizune hurriedly wrapped up her bath towel and ran to the locker room, and after getting dressed, she rushed to the Hokage's office. She's only 14 years old, and she's just a child! She must settle accounts with the three generations of Hokage, so that she doesn't care if she needs support or not!

Jing rushed into the Hokage's office, in addition to Hinata Takashi, she also saw the medical team's Jianli, and couldn't help but be a little nervous: "Hokage-sama, what's wrong?" ”

"Well, everyone has arrived, so I will begin to explain, this morning I received a message for help from Ming Yong Ninja Eagle, and after the interpretation of the code class, Ming carried the extremely secret information collected by Wuyin Village." Ape Feiri glanced at everyone and continued to explain: "But now there are two teams of the dark part of the Fog Hidden Village, trapping Ming in the country of waves, one of them guarding the main road to the country of fire in the country of waves, and the other team has launched a search in the territory of the country of waves..."

Speaking of this, Ri Slash set aside the crystal ball in front of him, and said: "Wuyin Village has always been closed, and in recent months, the restrictions on the outside world have been suddenly relaxed, and something important must happen in the village." Therefore, the information carried by Ming is extremely important, and the following A-class mission will be issued..."

"Hinata, Uchiha Shizu, Mitachi. You work in groups of three, with Hinata Takashi as the captain, and immediately go to the country of Wave to support Ming and help him bring back the information from the Fog Hidden Village. Hinata took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "In addition, Kakashi Kakashi also took over the mission from the country of Wave a few days ago, so if necessary, you can meet Kakashi first and then return to Konoha together. ”

The country of waves is not far from Konoha Village, and at Jing's normal speed, she can reach it in a day, and since this is a support mission, her speed has increased a bit. Two hours later, the medical team couldn't keep up.

"Jing, slow down a little," the medical squad is still inferior to the combat troops in terms of speed, Xiao couldn't help but remind, "Keep in formation." ”

"I'm sorry, I'll see you." Jing glanced at the last of the team, who was a little out of breath, and slowed down the speed of the march slightly, "I rarely perform support missions with medical ninjas, and I haven't adjusted well for a while. ”

"It doesn't matter. I've heard of Ming, who is a very powerful middle ninja. Jianli shook his head at Jing and signaled that it didn't matter, "Even he is trapped in the country of waves, the situation should be very urgent, I can hold on a little longer..."

"Not necessarily, the country of waves is surrounded by the sea, and there is only one bridge connecting to the outside. If you don't take the bridge, you'll have to rely on boats to go to sea. Xiao calmly analyzed, "So no matter which way Ming chooses, it will be difficult to leave the country of waves without being discovered, and in comparison, it is safer to hide in the country of waves." ”

"But I've heard that the country of waves is very small, and there are no ninjas in the country itself," Miri asked, a little puzzled, "If the other party has a sentient ninja..."

"Tsk, I'm not worried about that guy, just a few Fog Hidden Village shadows..."Jing pursed her lips, full of indifferent tones, "Jianli, you may not know that Ming once completed a C-level mission..."

——

At 9:20 a.m., 13-year-old Jing had breakfast and walked slowly to the meeting place. Sure enough, Kakashi hadn't arrived yet, and only Akira and Takashi were chatting on the bridge.

"You're late." Seeing that Jing had arrived at the meeting place, Ming stopped chatting with Takashi, "Kakashi-sensei has already been here." ”

"How is that possible? Teacher, he's been here? Are you kidding me? Shizune was startled at first, and then reacted, how could that Kakashi be on time?

"Kakashi-sensei has other tasks on the spot, so this time there are only three of us." Xiao handed the task entrustment in his hand to Jing and added, "In addition, Ming will lead the team in this mission. ”

"Yes, yes, I listened to the captain during the mission." Jing took the scroll with some confusion, "But why is the power of attorney in your hand?" ”

"Because I'm the principal." Ming explained on the side, "Although it is a C-level investigation mission, if we are accidentally discovered, it may also be upgraded to B-class. ”

It is possible to upgrade to B rank, which means that there are ninjas in the target area? Jing looked straight and carefully looked at the task entrustment.

However, the scroll only reads: Konoha ninjas are now entrusted to go to the sorrel gold mountain in the country of Kawanoku to investigate the details of the local black shovel people.

“... That's all there is to it? Jing wanted to throw the scroll in the face of this bastard Ming, "Why did you entrust Kawanokuni with a mission?" And what are the Black Shovel Crowd? ”

"I just went through the process of receiving this task, why should I write down the details?" Ming gestured, signaling that he would talk on the way to talk. The three of them left from the Konoha Gate and headed for the sorrel gold mountain in Kawanokuni.

Two days later, Jing and the three of them came to a life curry for dinner, which was only a few kilometers away from the sorrel gold mountain. On the way, Jing probably also learned the reason, Ming's father was a merchant in the Fire Country, and because he needed a batch of sorrel, he sent a subordinate to negotiate with the local villagers about the purchase conditions.

As a result, this unlucky subordinate had just arrived at the village at the foot of the Golden Mountain of Sorrel, and met a group of people who claimed to be the Black Shovel family, and they were arrested and taken to the mine along with the villagers.

"This group of people who call themselves the Black Shovel Family are actually just a bunch of ordinary thugs." After dinner, Ming opened the shopkeeper's mother-in-law, and began to explain the mission requirements in detail with Jing, "The reason why it's not a crusade against thieves, but just a simple investigation mission, is because not long ago, a ninja was driven out of the Fire Country. ”

"Wandering ninjas in the Land of Fire?" Takashi asked, after all, every year in the Land of Fire there are some ninjas who are exiled and expelled by the government because of their bad reputation.

"No, it's the Land of Water's rebellion, the first batch of black hoes and thunder teeth of the ninja sword seven." Ming took out a map and spread it on the table, drew a route with a pen, and explained: "This is the route that the Black Hoe Thunder Tooth fled to the country of Kawanoku at that time, and it is not difficult to find the last place where he appeared, which is very close to the sorrel gold mountain. Therefore, if it is discovered during the investigation that he has joined the Black Shovel Crowd, we will immediately retreat back to Konoha. ”

"So it's okay to let Xiao take a look with his white eyes?" Jing pointed to a valley on the map, "Xiao, what do you think of this place?" ”

"Yes, at this distance, my eyes can see through the entire mine." Xiao estimated the distance and nodded to Jing, "And this terrain is also more complicated, which is conducive to retreat." ”

"Then I'll start laying out specific tactics. The weather in Kawanokuni is sunny these days, the air in the mountains and forests is humid, and it is easy to fog in the morning," Ming circled an area near the map mine, "At that time, I will use the fog concealment technique to appropriately increase the fog concentration in this area to cover our figures." ”

"Foggy weather is not suitable for mining, and people in the mine do not stay in the depths of the mine. At this time, Yuxiao observed everyone with his white eyes, paying attention to whether there was a large amount of chakra. ”

"As for the quiet, you set up traps in these locations in the valley tomorrow to make sure we have plenty of time to evacuate. After Xiao starts the investigation, you are responsible for recording the situation of the mine, and I will guard the surrounding area. Is there anything to add? If not, rest early today, and we'll leave tomorrow morning at four o'clock. ”

The next day, Xiao, who reconnoitred the entire mine with his white eyes, began to explain the situation: "The captured villagers are concentrated in one place, and the scattered around them should be the Black Shovel family. There were ten of them, and they were located in..."

Jing squatted beside Hyo's side and marked the location of the black shovel on the map with a pen. After Xiao finished reporting, Jing handed the map to Ming and asked, "Ming, Xiao didn't find the existence of the suspected black hoe Thunder Fang." They are still sleeping, do you want to take the opportunity to raid? ”

"Didn't you? Hyo-first guards around, I need to determine the route of the raid first. Ming took the map to check the location of the Black Shovel Crowd, and made an attack plan in less than two minutes, "Let's split up, Jing you start from here, take this side of the mountain road, and be responsible for the raid... Filial piety! At three o'clock, someone is approaching at a very fast pace! ”

"How is that possible? I didn't see anyone in that direction. Hyoda, who had been guarding the surroundings with his eyes open, was surprised, but he believed in Ming's ability to perceive. However, being able to perceive it clearly means that the person who came is already very close to them.

"The other party quickly broke through the trap area that was quietly arranged, and should have a certain level of perception, judging from the speed of the other party, it is too late to evacuate now." Ming quickly made a judgment, dropped the map and began to seal, "Since we can avoid the sight of the white eye, then the fog is no longer our cover... Once the wind escapes, the typhoon passes! ”

Jing only felt a gust of wind blowing, the reddish morning mist was taken away, the delicate morning sun in the distance became clear, and the morning star quietly faded. At this time, the sky changed rapidly, and the sky in the direction of three o'clock was dazzlingly white from beginning to white, and a figure in the haze was rapidly attacking.

Soon, Jing saw clearly. The man had long black hair, thick eyebrows, a bandage on his upper body, a black vest on the outside, and what appeared to be a sleeping bag behind him. Jing took out kunai and shuriken from the ninja pouch and waited for it.

"I wanted to take advantage of the fog to clean you up, but I didn't expect it to be very clever." Seeing that the three of them did not flee, the visitor grinned and showed his sharp teeth. "I can't bury you, but I'm going to let you die. Thunder Tooth! ”

The black hoe thunder tooth used the thunder knife to send the thunder chakra to the sky, a dazzling electric light illuminated the sky and the earth, and the dark clouds quietly gathered with the electric light, obscuring the morning sun for a while, making the sky gloomy. Thunder Fang then unfolded the thunder knife, and a large area of lightning attacks struck towards the Jing people.

"Obviously blowing away the fog, it can actually attract dark clouds, the ninja is really the biggest enemy of the development of physics." Jing's ears came from Ming's voice without panic, and she really wanted to hit Ming when she heard it.

The thunder and lightning were about to slash in front of her, and she was busy looking for a gap in the attack with her writing wheels, but this guy was fine, but instead of giving instructions in time, she was still saying some strange things over there.

"Psychic Magic: Mourning Darkness!" If it encounters other ninja sword seven, Ming may still be afraid, but Lei Ya is mainly based on a wide range of lightning attacks, but it is not difficult to deal with. As the Ming Knot Seal was completed, a huge metal beckoning cat appeared in front of the three of them, blocking all of Thunder Tooth's attacks.

"What mourning? Such a domineering name, but it turns out to be such a cute thing from the psychic? "If Jing is a Tucao star, then the Tucao energy is estimated to be enough to kill Thunder Tooth in seconds," Why is there such a long silly hair on the top of this beckoning cat's head? ”

"What's the dull hair? That's called a lightning rod. Ming made a few more seals, and channeled several chains to fix the beckoning cat to the ground. Then he took out an insulated wooden stick from the scroll and said to the two: "B formation, I'll go to face the Black Hoe Thunder Fang, and you two will support from a distance..."

"Are you crazy?!" Jing pulled Ming with a stunned face, although the three of them often use the tactic of one person to test first and two to assist in attacking, but..."The other party is a ninja sword seven, an elite shinobi like Kakashi-sensei!" ”

"I'd better go." Xiao felt a little guilty at this time, his own side was in the current situation, all because his white eyes failed to detect the enemy in time, resulting in the inability to retreat according to the original plan, if you want to carry out a dangerous temptation, then...

"Do you know how to play with sticks?" Ming looked at Takayo with a puzzled expression, "Or are you going to show us an empty-handed white blade?" That's a thunder knife. ”

Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, as if... What's going on? Among the three, he is not good at using weapons, and Jing's writing wheel eye shuriken technique is inseparable from the conductive steel wire, and it is true that only Ming remains, but he always feels that something is not right?

"It's my judgment to stay to meet the enemy, and it has nothing to do with the white eyes being restrained, don't think too much, help well." Ming Teng patted his filial piety with his hand, and said seriously: "The black hoe thunder tooth does not have the ability to shield the white eyes, it should be related to the person behind him." And the person behind him is my winning point. ”

"I believe that you and Jing can cover me, so you should also trust my judgment." After saying that, Ming bypassed the Mourning Darkness and Darkness and faced the black hoe thunder teeth that rushed over.
