At dusk, in the grove behind the ninja school.

Ningci's team is assembling.

Since that competition with Shino, Ning Ci has set the meeting place in this place, and speaking of reasons, this is also the place that is least likely to be exposed.

Because the intelligence department's mission is concentrated at the time when the ninja school is in session, this is simply the best place to hide.

"These ...... That's all. ”

Ino scattered the task scrolls he had sorted out on the ground.

Shino and Xiao Li picked them up one by one and analyzed.

"There are 4 D-class missions and 10 C-level missions, so if we act together, I'm afraid it will take two days......"

Xiao Li pouted, looking a little embarrassed.

Shino said, "Just now the captain said that there is a temporary task that needs us, but these basic tasks must be completed, right?" ”

Ino polished his eyes and thought to himself, "Why don't we go on a separate mission?" Anyway, it's all C-level or below missions, so it's sure to be fast! ”

Ning Ci looked at them with a determined expression.

But Ning Ci knew in his heart that what he had to do was to unswervingly move towards his goal.

And they just follow themselves, and this mentality is certainly different.

"Instead of complicating things, it's better to keep things simple, you guys go and get some rest from now on, this mission may be a bit dangerous. Now I will talk about the content of the task, and those who are afraid can quit. ”

Ning Ci's sudden seriousness made several people a little puzzled, and they looked at it one after another.

After pondering for a moment, Ning Ci said, "The mission goal this time is ...... Go to Orochimaru's stronghold and scout the information. ”

Then, there was the sound of the silent wind.

Several people didn't even dare to turn their heads, and except for Ino, the other two almost stopped breathing.

But, no one asks why.

"Go."

"Well, so am I."

Both Shino and Xiao Li seem to have made a lot of determination, and during this time, Ning Ci broke all doubts as a captain and made indelible contributions to almost every mission.

Several people believed in Ning Ci more and more.

"But this time, since you're going to such a dangerous place, you'll definitely be completely prepared, right? For example, the Ministry of Intelligence sent a few Shangninas to go with them...... "Xiao Li said as a matter of course.

Ino explained, "That's not the case, Lee. This mission is a mission planned by Ning Ci, and it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Intelligence. Very dangerous. ”

Xiao Li was stunned, and glanced at Zhi Nai, such a task...... No one dares to take it!

"But since it's the captain's mission, how can we, as team members, escape? Right? Shino chuckled.

"Hmm!" Xiao Li also expressed his support, although his palms were already full of sweat.

Ning Ci got the answer, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Then, you go back to rest and prepare, and give me these task books." ”

"But Ningci, you have to come on, even if you shirk it, my father may not agree! He's always been strict. Ino said with a grin, she thought that Ning Ci wanted to push all the tasks back.

However......

After a busy night, the next morning.

Ning Ci slept a little late this time and did not do morning exercises.

The Ministry of Intelligence, Ning Ci will complete all the tasks together.

"It's ...... Isn't that the task of the week? Why did it all take only one day? Hai Yi's face was full of surprise.

"Of course, it's for our own cultivation." Ning Ci chuckled.

"It's really hard work, Ning Ci, your team will definitely become an excellent team in the future!"

After Ning Ji left the Intelligence Department, he quickly headed towards the entrance of Konoha Village.

At the gate at the entrance of the village, the three figures had already brought their ninja bags and were ready to set off at any time.

Ning Ci rushed over alone, saw three familiar backs, and suddenly felt a burst of warmth in his heart.

"Are they all here? Is there really no one holding back? ”

"Nope!" Ino responded.

Ning Ci exhaled and stopped talking nonsense.

"Well, this is the place, a small town in Konoha's neighboring country."

Ning Ci took out a map, which clearly marked one of Orochimaru's strongholds.

This is the last time he fought against Jiraiya, and Jiraiya gave him information about the Orochimaru's stronghold in order to know his true identity. Since it will be given to itself, then the information that proves the stronghold in this place has been basically eliminated.

So it's hard to meet Orochimaru himself again, otherwise he wouldn't have released information so easily. But this location...... It's right near Short Book Street.

"Let's go."

Several people nodded to each other, and in a corner where no one was paying attention, they left Konoha Village and moved quickly!

……

The midday sun was scorching.

Short Book Street, behind the sparsely populated wall, is the opposite battle of Orochimaru, and Tsunade.

"It's you! After so many years, the figure is still so full, and Baihao's technique has not given up......"

Orochimaru's deep voice was slightly hoarse.

Tsunade's expression was wavering.

"You said that if I promised to help you heal your men, you would resurrect them both, didn't you? The two of them ......"

Tsunade gritted his teeth, and his heart was pulled to a longing thought.

"Broken, rope tree."

She took a deep breath, helpless in her heart.

"Ah, but only if you do good things for us first." The pharmacist beside Orochimaru took out the kunai in his pocket, full of vigilance.

Because of the silence behind Tsunade, he was always ready to attack.

"Tsunade-sama, are you really ready to work with them? They just did it to Konoha! Shizune gritted her teeth, obviously, she and Tsunade didn't agree on the same page.

Tsunade, on the other hand, took a few steps forward and stopped in front of Shizune.

"Don't worry, I've drugged Jiraiya. I sincerely want to cooperate, and now ...... Just let me look at the two of them now, and I'll promise you! All right? ”

Out of the corner of Tsunade's eyes, tears flashed.

And Orochimaru lowered his head and sneered a few times.

Hero, never do that kind of idiotic trade.

Orochimaru didn't say anything, but instead took a few steps forward, lifting the kunai up, and the chakra blade was released from his hand, swaying in the air.

"Please don't take an inch, otherwise, even if you use a strong method, we will let you go with us."

Tsunade was startled and took a step back.

At this moment, a figure jumped down.

"Hey, Tsunade, did you give me this medicine just to meet Orochimaru? Just let you go back to Konoha Village to be the head of the medical department, and you are so resistant? ”

Jiraiya gritted his teeth and spoke, sneering, his forehead already covered with cold sweat.

"Ahh It seems that our Konoha three ninjas have already gathered? Do you want to reminisce about the past, or do you want to start fighting? ”

Orochimaru's words made Tsunade and Jiraiya feel cold!

……

On the other side, outside Orochimaru's stronghold, outside the hole of the century-old tree.

This is a wild forest with all kinds of jackals, tigers and leopards, and the Ningci team has been circling around this cave for a long time.

"This is it, there is nothing too dangerous within five hundred meters here, this stronghold is obviously an abandoned stronghold, and there will be no danger for the time being. So...... The three of you are here waiting for me, and I'll be back soon. ”

Ning Ci arranged them here and planned to leave.

"Where is the captain?" Xiao Li asked.

Ning Ci only said: "Just stay here, investigate the surrounding forest conditions, and I'll go back when I go!" ”

Then, he headed in the direction of Short Book Street!
