Like the country of grass, the country of Kawa is located between the two kingdoms, and both of them border the country of fire, and because there is no ninja village, the interior is relatively chaotic.

That's why a wealthy businessman would spend a lot of money to hire a Konoha ninja to protect him, and it was obviously the standard for a C-level mission, but he directly reported a B-level mission.

In order to show the importance that Konoha attaches to the country of Kawanoku, the three generations sent Hachiki Shuomao, who had recently been idle at home, and three shinobi to form a team.

Kai was on a high-level mission for the first time, and the whole person was extremely excited, and although he made some low-level mistakes, he listened attentively after Hagi Shuomao's correction.

The same is true for Obito, who has been thinking about how to show his might in front of Sakakibara Toru, and even talks a lot less.

In order to take care of the client's speed, they trimmed up halfway, and Kaicai brought mushrooms, brought a local fire, and Sakakibara boiled a pot of hot mushroom soup.

"Delicious!" Wealthy merchants feasted on delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long, and occasionally ate ordinary food with a unique flavor.

Kai ate it with enthusiasm, and didn't forget to give Sakakihara a thumbs up while crying, "Tou, you're too powerful!" ”

Obito also took a bite curiously, his face changed suddenly, and his face flushed, "This ......"

Oh no, this taste is really good, Sakakihara this guy is almighty!

Sakakiwara Toru was stirring the food in the pot with a spoon, and his appearance was about to brighten up when he was bathed in holy light, and the three people who were drinking mushroom soup at the moment directly succumbed to this person's feet.

What a virtuous person!

When the client fell asleep in a luxurious sleeping bag not far away, Sakumo Qiki put down the bowl he was holding and smiled on his face.

"The smoke is so big, there may be an enemy attacking, let's decide the order of tonight's vigil."

All of a sudden, the silence became even quieter.

"Why didn't you say it sooner, Captain White Fang!"

Qimu Shuomao said helplessly, "I thought you knew, didn't you all understand?" ”

"Well, I sensed that someone was following us, so that's why I did it." Sakakihara nodded.

It's basic to go on a mission without revealing your whereabouts, but if you don't use this method to lure enemies out hiding in the shadows, their escort mission will be difficult to complete.

This is a very clever lurker, they can't be in a state of nervous tension all the time, so they can only make this decision.

Kai quickly raised his hand, "Then it doesn't matter, our task is to protect the client, so I'll keep watch for the middle of the night!" ”

In front of the task, Kai was very sober, and he didn't need to be reminded by Sakumo Hagi, he could already understand, and for the first time showed his sensitivity to the task.

The hindsight took the soil and patted his chest, and there was some pride in his movements, "Then I will keep a vigil in the second half of the night, so leave it to me with confidence!" ”

Qimu Shuomao's expression was pleased, "I made a decision so happily in the first half of the night with Kai, and the second half of the night with Touhe. ”

Of course, Sakakihara has no objections, in fact, it doesn't matter if Kai or Obito is there, he is not interested in either of them, especially Obito, don't forget that there are a pair of eyes watching it below.

In the first half of the night, there was nothing to do, saying that it was to let Sakakihara Toru keep vigil with Obito, but Hachiki Sakushige did not climb into the sleeping bag, but just slept lightly against the tree.

Even if he trusts Toru Sakakihara, he can't put everyone's lives in the hands of the two children, and he must be responsible for this mission.

Beside the fire, two figures swayed left and right under the reflection of the firelight.

Obito stared at the flames in front of him in a daze, this is a state that wants to open his mouth but doesn't know how to speak.

Because the surroundings were too quiet, Sakakiwara felt that he was not too harsh on a child, so he took the initiative to ask, "Obito, I heard that you like to help grandma, is there any special reason?" ”

Obito was stunned for a moment, he scratched his face with his fingers a little shyly, "Actually, grandma said that my life was exchanged for the lives of my parents, so I can't live up to them, and I have to help others to do it." ”

"Well, it seems that your grandmother is a good elder." Sakakibara pondered for a moment, and finally uttered the words.

"Sakakibara, I've always wanted to ask you something."

"What?"

"It's ......" Obito twisted at this time, like the nervousness before confession, wanting to say it, but also afraid of losing something important.

Sakakibara looked at him expressionlessly, "It doesn't matter what you say, I'm not someone who will be affected by other people's words." ”

Looking at the other party's calm gaze, Obito gradually calmed down, and he mustered up the courage to ask, "Are we friends?" ”

That's it?

Sakakibara revealed a familiar smile that shone in the moonlight.

"What are you talking about, Obito, haven't we been friends for a long time?"

Obito pulled down his goggles and covered the expression on his face, "Oh. ”

The corners of Qimu Shuomao's mouth rose, this is his companion.

"And ......"

Just as Obito was about to say something more, a sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly came.

Immediately after a crackling sound, before Obito could react, black thousands of books appeared all over the ground.

No, black is not the original color of a thousand books, and what is painted on it is poison!

"It's the enemy!" Sakakihara Toru held the black knife in his hand and blocked it in front of Obito.

Fortunately, the enemy's main target was Hagi Sakushige, and Sakakihara Toru and Obito only attracted a little firepower.

Fortunately, Hagi Shuomao did not have a poisoning needle, and he shot down Chibon from all directions in an instant, and he had the experience of fighting with puppet divisions in World War II, and this action has formed a reflex.

Kai dragged the sleepy-eyed client and protected him behind him, an act that made Sakushige Hagi look at him appreciatively.

A red-haired boy in a black robe appeared in everyone's sight, he was wearing a sand hidden forehead guard, and his eyes revealed Sen Sen's killing intent.

It's almost certain that the person in front of you is the sneak attacker.

"Why assassinate us?"

The scorpion didn't answer, but just looked at Qimu Shuomao viciously, "Konoha White Fang, I finally got a chance!" ”

The faces of a couple flashed in his mind, and Sakumo Hagi reacted, "You are Chiyo's grandson!" ”

There was a slight expression on the scorpion's face, "I've been waiting for this day since Mom and Dad died, and I've rehearsed the scene of killing you countless times. ”

"Finally, the day of vengeance has come!"

"Are you trying to provoke a war?"

Hachiki Shuomao's expression was solemn, and if there was a conflict at this juncture, it could easily become the fuse of war.

Yun Yin, who has been eyeing him all the time, will definitely take advantage of the situation, and Sha Yin will not let go of the opportunity to go to war, not to mention Yan Yin, they themselves will smell blood.

The scorpion has a world-weary baby face, but it is not soft at all, "I only know that I want revenge." ”

The ninjas he used to get the report from Konoha were all sacrificed by him, and what else would he care about? It's just war.

Qimu Shuomao's words were earnest, and his eyes were firm, "I don't want to kill you, but if you insist on this, I can only fight." ”

"Hehe, you think you can kill me easily?"

"It's a good show, but I don't want to watch it." Sakakihara Toru is ready to run away with a few people, and he will not prepare the antidote to the poison, and will come to pick up the corpse after the battle.

Suddenly, several more sand ninjas sprang out of the grass.
