The courtyard is not large, the snow has been swept up to the walls, and there is a bonfire burning in the middle of the courtyard.

The warm flame shone on everyone's face, turning the face red.

Kakashi was tossing the grilled fish, and Rin gave Kakashi a hand, turning his head from time to time to look at Obito. And Shuo Mao and Yan were touching the fish, waiting for Qi Cheng.

Obito was bragging to his little brother of his clan, "When I was fighting Kakashi...... If it weren't for me...... I kicked him in one kick......"

This little brother was unilaterally recognized by Daitu, and he thought that he was four years older than Zhishui, and he should take care of Zhishui.

The reason why so many people are gathering at the Hagi house is because Mizumon has a mission, and it is an extremely dangerous S-class mission, and this level of mission is not something that Kakashi and his group of shinobi can participate in.

If the leader of the team is not there, the team will not be able to take over the task, so Shuimen asked Shuo Mao to take care of the team for him for a while.

At this moment, a dark figure wearing a crow mask appeared on the courtyard wall of Shuomao's house.

"Lord White Fang, Hokage-sama has an order, ordering you to take the Kakashi team and go to Loulan immediately."

After speaking, the shadow threw a scroll at Shuomao, and then left in an instant.

"Loulan! Isn't that where Mr. Watergate carries out his mission? Could it be that there is something dangerous about Mr. Watergate? ”

As soon as he heard the dark department say "Loulan", Obito immediately rushed over. Lin also stepped forward with some concern, but she grabbed Obito first.

"Obitu, don't worry, Teacher Watergate is so powerful, nothing will happen."

"That's right, wait for my father to take a look at the information in the mission scroll, you still can't learn to calm down first."

Shuo Mao opened the scroll, took out the Hokage's warrant from it, put it away, and then flipped through the mission scroll.

After a few moments, Shuo Mao said, "Our mission is only to pick up the water gate, and they are in trouble, but there shouldn't be much danger. As long as the water gate wants to leave, the person who can stop the water gate has not yet been born. ”

And behind Shuo Mao and the others, Yan pulled the stop water that he was trying to avoid, and whispered in his ear. Then the two turned around and quietly left the courtyard.

After confirming that all the information had been memorized, Shuo Mao put away the task scroll and said solemnly, "Kakashi, immediately lead your team to pack up your things, and in two hours, we will meet at the entrance of the village." ”

"Yes!" X3

From the beginning of the mission, the identity of the three Kakashi trio is that of Hachiki Sakushige's subordinates, and ninjas make it their duty to obey orders.

The three of them didn't say much, obeyed the order, and immediately left the courtyard in an instant.

When Shuo Mao turned around and was about to say something, he found that Yan and Zhishui were gone. Shaking his head, he returned to the house, pinned the White Fang Short Knife to his waist, took out a mask from the drawer, hesitated for a moment, and put it into the ninja bag.

Leave Hagi's house and head towards the vicinity of the Hokage Building.

An hour later, Shuo Mao walked out of a nondescript building, and when he reached the entrance to the village, he found two unexpected people.

"Yan, stop the water, why are you here?"

Yan pulled out a Hokage's warrant with his backhand.

"Lord White Fang, I just went home and asked my father to take me and Shisui to meet the Hokage, and I managed to convince the Hokage-sama. In this mission, Zhishui and I will also be involved. ”

"So, from now until we return to the village at the end of the mission, we will be temporary shinobi and belong to your team."

Shuo Mao wanted to say nonsense, but in a blink of an eye, he knew the strength of these two children, and coupled with the Hokage's warrant, the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back by him.

Don't worry about the strength of these two children, the only thing that may be lacking is some experience, I think Hokage-sama thinks the same thing, and wants to train these two children in advance.

But the first time I went out of the village to do a mission, it was this kind of high-level task...... Alas, forget it.

Hokage-sama must have had his considerations in mind when he did this.

Shuo Mao glanced at the five people, the thick winter clothes had all been taken off, and there were only thin combat clothes on his body, and every breath carried a burst of white mist.

"Well, since it's Hokage-sama's order, then you guys should join this mission. But since you're the first to go out of the village to do the mission, Kakashi, you come and explain the precautions to them. ”

"Yes." Kakashi nodded.

"The information of the mission, I will tell you on the way, now, let's go!"

When everyone came to the entrance of the village, Shuo Shige showed two warrants from the third Hokage, and was allowed to leave the village. Ninjas are soldiers, and anyone who leaves the village without the permission of the Hokage is considered a defector and becomes a wanted renegade.

The Land of Fire has four distinct seasons, but after leaving Konoha and moving further in the direction of the sand hide, the temperature gets higher and higher. It didn't take long to see the snow, the air was getting drier and drier, and the cold on everyone's bodies was getting less and less, and then I could already feel a trace of heat.

"According to the information sent back by the Water Gate, there is a dragon vein sleeping in the ground of Loulan, and the dragon vein is a huge amount of chakra underground. According to preliminary surveys, it is even larger than the chakra of the tailed beast. ”

"Loulan is actually controlled by a minister named An Lushan now, and the specific information of this person, Shuimen, has not been detailed, and we will not know until we see Shuimen."

"Furthermore, there are a large number of puppets in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and there are almost no living people. They searched Loulan for many days, but they still didn't get anything. The first thing we did on this mission was to send supplies to the Water Gate, I had just gone to the Dark Department to collect the supplies, and after handing over the supplies, our task was to assist the Water Gate team and explore Loulan. ”

"We have very little intelligence, and the unknown means danger, so we are absolutely not allowed to act alone! Especially the derivation and water stopping, understand? ”

"Understood!" Yanhe Zhishui replied seriously.

After Shuo Mao finished explaining the information, Kakashi began to explain the process and some precautions of the mission out of the village to Yanhe Shisui.

For example, after leaving the Fire Country, you have to remove Konoha's forehead guard and hide your identity.

It took a day for everyone to leave Konoha and come to the border of the Fire Country, and the dense forest gradually thinned out until it disappeared, and in front of everyone was an endless desert.

The sun is always shining, and the endless desert where you can't see even a bit of greenery.

Zhishui couldn't help but mutter, "Is this the world beyond the Fire Realm?" ”
