"Whew! It's finally time to get to Shuiyun Town! ”

Looking at the familiar town not far away, Qimu Shuohui took a long breath, and his words revealed a relief that could not be concealed.

After a long journey of half a month, during which the two experienced dozens of battles, they finally returned to Shuiyun Town.

"I want to find a bed to sleep comfortably! Even if it's a hard wooden bed like that in a tent! ”

"No ......"

"Who do you say is unproductive?" Seeing that Qimu Shuohui was complaining about himself again, the angry Hinata Qinghua raised her fist and was about to fight, "You have the ability to say it again!" ”

"I say myself! I say myself! ”

Qimu Shuohui still honestly admitted his mistake as usual.

Although Hinata Kiyoka looks hot-tempered and never forgiving when she gets along with Hagi Shuohui on weekdays, the relationship between the two has become deeper with the passage of the four months on the mission.

When facing the threat of the death of Sanshoyu Hanzo before, the inseparability of the two is the best proof.

In fact, the way the two get along with each other is like this, taking pleasure in bickering and making fun of each other.

After all, the journey to Yuyin Village is not only boring, but also lurking in danger all the time, and bickering and ridiculing have become the only pastime along the way.

"Qinghua! Shuo Hui-kun! You're finally back! ”

After receiving a report from the secret sentinel on the outskirts of Shuiyun Town, Orochimaru personally walked to the gate of the town to greet them.

Although Orochimaru seemed quite enthusiastic, listening to his unique hoarse voice, Hachiki Shuohui was still a little uncomfortable.

The unique cold temperament on his body always makes people feel uncomfortable, but Hinata Kiyoka doesn't seem to care.

"Teacher! We've mapped the way to Yuyin! ”

Hinata Kiyoka couldn't wait to take out the scroll with the route drawn from behind her and handed it to Orochimaru's hand.

Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction, and his words were full of praise for the two of them: "Sure enough, you didn't disappoint me. ”

"Orochimaru-sama, what about the other groups looking for directions? Are they back? ”

Suddenly remembering that Orochimaru had already sent three teams before them, Qimu Shuohui asked curiously.

But Orochimaru only showed a regretful expression, was silent for a while, and said, "So far, only you have returned. If nothing else, they may well have died. ”

Hearing this, Hagi Shuohui and Hinata Kiyoka were also silent.

They naturally knew the danger of this mission.

If it weren't for Hinata's strong observation to avoid many dangers, they probably wouldn't have been able to come back.

What's more, in the hinterland of an enemy country, all kinds of unexpected situations can happen at any time.

For example, if they meet a powerful enemy like Hanzo in Yuyin Village, if Hanzo hadn't let them go out of nowhere, they would have died there.

"Alright, now that you're back, that's something to celebrate," Orochimaru motioned for the two of them to go inside, "you guys go back and rest first." ”

On the way back, Hinata Kiyoka happily tells Orochimaru about several thrilling battles that took place along the way.

When he heard that they had actually met Sanshoyu Hanzo, and Sanshoyu Hanzo also released them, even Orochimaru, who had always been calm, showed a surprised expression.

"Sansho fish Hanzo...... I'm going to let you go. Judging by the information, he is not a benevolent fellow! ”

"Hmm...... I don't really know, but I passed out from poisoning... It was Shuo Hui, who took me away. ”

Because he promised Hachiki Shuohui to help him keep the secret of the writing wheel, Hinata Kiyoka could only mention the details of the battle vaguely.

She regretted telling her a little at this point.

Luckily, Orochimaru didn't seem to be interested in the fight that took place between them, and just casually asked a few words and stopped mentioning it.

"Speaking of which, Teacher, I envy you a little bit, being able to fight against a powerful opponent like Sanshoyu Hanzo," Orochimaru walked as he walked, but his eyes became deeper, "When my plan is implemented, I must personally kill this guy who is known as a 'demigod'." ”

The three of them walked slowly all the way, and soon reached the camp where they were resting.

At this moment, a brown-haired young man dressed in green suddenly jumped out of the camp and rushed to the eyes of the three of them.

"Hey! Clear flowers! You don't even call me to perform such an important task! It's so unjust! ”

"You idiot! With you, how is it possible to accomplish this task? ”

"Are you questioning Uncle Ben's strength?"

"With your strength, do you still need me to question it?"

"Damn... You! ”

Hinata Kiyoka was obviously extremely familiar with the young man, and the two of them scuffled together in a few words.

Looking at the miserable appearance of the young man being violently beaten, Qimu Shuohui on the side couldn't help but shed a few drops of cold sweat.

Co-author, this aunt is still merciful every time she fights herself!

"That's it!" Orochimaru was obviously not surprised by the fight between the two, and separated the two with a smile, "Shuohui-kun, let me introduce you, his name is Rope Tree, and he is also my disciple, and he is also Tsunade's younger brother. He had been to Tsunade for a while, and he had just returned. ”

Tsunade-sama's younger brother?

Tsunade-sama is the grandson of the original Hokage Senju Pillars!

So is he?

Can... But the boy in front of him, who seems to be a little second-year, is obviously not very similar to the legendary god of the ninja world who founded "Konoha"!

"Hello! My name is Hagi Shuohui, and I'm a shinobi who just graduated from ninja school for half a year. ”

Although he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he still greeted him very kindly.

Finally escaping from Hinata Kiyoka's clutches, Rope Tree rubbed his face and replied with a grin, "Oh! I know you, you're the younger brother of Big Brother White Fang, right? Although my sister's reputation is not as good as your brother's, I will definitely be more famous than you in the future! After all, I'm going to be the Hokage's man! ”

"Then you're still a shinobi?"

Hinata Kiyoka on the side was worried that she hadn't beaten it just now, and she seized the opportunity to tear down the rope tree's platform.

"You! Isn't Shuohui also a shinobi now! You're amazing! You're a year older than us, and by the time I'm your age, maybe I'll be... I've been..."

"You're already big!"

Seeing that his words were ruthlessly interrupted by Hinata Kiyoka, the rope tree became restless again, and he opened his teeth and claws to break free from Orochimaru's hand.

"That's it! Don't make a fuss, the two of them just returned from a mission and need to rest now. ”

Orochimaru coughed, and his tone was not as kind as it was just now.

Seeing that Orochimaru was a little angry, Rope Tree was also honest, and after glancing at Hinata Kiyoka angrily, he obediently stepped aside.

"However, there is something I announce, and it just so happened that Rope Tree also mentioned it," Orochimaru turned his gaze back to Hachiki Shuohui, "I have already submitted a report to the village regarding your promotion to the rank of Nakashinobi, and when the notice comes, you will be Nakashinobi." ”

"Nakashinobi? I? ”

Qimu Shuohui said with some surprise.

He's only been graduating for half a year, so he'll be promoted to Zhongnin so soon?

And isn't it necessary to take a unified and centralized exam for promotion to shinobi?

Orochimaru smiled, taking in the doubts in Hachiki Shuohui's eyes: "I know what you're thinking. The usual middle ninja exam naturally needs to be tested, but since it is a time of war, the promotion of the ninja rank is based on the tutor's judgment of your strength and your performance in the war. ”

He paused and continued, "This time you can complete this task with Qinghua, it is enough to prove your ability. The credit for this task is enough to promote you to the middle ninja. ”

"I see... Thank you Orochimaru-sama! ”

Although he didn't know why Orochimaru valued himself so much, after all, now that he was helping, Qimu Shuohui still respectfully thanked Orochimaru.

"Do you still call me Lord?" Orochimaru smiled meaningfully, "I reported your name in the name of the teacher!" ”

I'll go! They were waiting for me here!

Forget it, the teacher is the teacher, and I won't lose a piece of meat if I shout.

Thinking in his heart, Hagi Shuohui had no choice but to shout "teacher" to Orochimaru again.

He didn't have any special feelings about himself, and Hinata Kiyoka on the side seemed to be overjoyed.

"Haha, Shuohui! Then we'll be in a class from now on! Three people in one class, alas! It's a pity that there is still a lower forbearance to hold back! ”

"You! ......”

The rope tree on the side was silent, sulking, and suddenly was mercilessly ridiculed by Hinata Qinghua, but he was powerless to refute, so he could only "hum" angrily and leave aggrievedly.

Looking at the back of the rope tree in the distance, Qimu Shuohui couldn't cry or laugh.

This teenager with a bit of a big nerve is quite funny!
