Chapter Twenty-Six: The Assessment of Leading the Team to Shinobi
Early the next morning, Hinata Kaede and Megumi came to the classroom again, waiting for the leader of the team to show up.
But it wasn't until the students of the same level in the classroom were taken away by the Shangnin, that their leader Shangnin had not yet appeared, which made Hinata Megumi, who was waiting in place, a little impatient, and complained:
"Kaede, we led the team to Shinobi to be late, he won't be an unreliable guy like Obito, right?"
"Don't worry, maybe you're in trouble......" Hinata Kaede didn't seem to care too much, but still put down the book and frowned slightly.
He's not impatient, but he also hates ninjas who waste his time on punctuality, even if it's a shinobi from the village.
But after thinking about it, Hinata Kaede vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
According to his speculation, his leading shinobi should be from the family, and only in this way can he ensure that his white eyes are not taken away on the way to the mission.
And those upper ninjas in the family, whether they are clans or separate families, give him only the impression of tradition and conservatism.
Not to mention deliberately delaying time, even being late is very rare, and it will definitely not be like this, so can it be said that the upper ninja who was assigned to him is not from within the family?
Thinking of this, Hinata Kaede quietly opened his eyes and swept around.
Due to being in a ninja school, Hinata Kaede deliberately narrowed the scope of her vision, and soon found clues in the big tree outside the window, where there were inconspicuous chakra marks.
Stepping on the window and jumping up the tree, Hinata Kaede followed the traces of the chakra and looked up in the direction of the rooftop.
I saw a figure standing on the side of the railing of the rooftop, and the other party seemed to be aware of his peeping, and his figure disappeared directly in place.
"Kaede, is it an enemy?"
"It's not." Hinata Kaede shook his head, then looked at Megumi, who rushed over, and said, "If the judgment is not wrong, our leader Shangnin may have come a long time ago, but he has been hiding in the shadows to observe our reactions. ”
"Then we'll find him out right now!"
As she spoke, Megumi Hinata gathered Chakra's eyes, and green tendons bulged out on both sides of her eyes.
Hinata Kaede stretched out his hand to stop Megumi and pointed to the trunk of the tree at his feet, where there was a line of inconspicuous chakra writing, if it weren't for their keen perception, I am afraid they would have directly ignored the past.
Seeing these words, Hinata Megumi sighed with emotion: "Is it testing the ability to gather intelligence and crack it?" It seems that it is not easy for us to lead the team. ”
Hinata Kaede smiled and began to carefully observe the line of writing on the trunk.
The above recorded a high school difficulty math problem, as long as you can get the answer to the math problem, you can also successfully find the whereabouts of the leader of the team.
For ordinary shinobi, this question is difficult, but for Hinata Kaede, it is nothing.
In less than three minutes, Hinata Kaede calculated the result, and immediately looked at the location recorded in the information, frowning and falling into a deep groan.
In terms of the difficulty of deciphering information, the need for his own team to lead the upper ninja is not an ordinary ninja, but a ninja school graduate with the strength of the middle ninja, so that the identity of the other party is higher than imagined.
A few minutes later, Megumi Hinata also came up with an answer, looked at Kaede who was lost in thought, and wondered, "Aren't we going to find the whereabouts of the shinobi?" ”
After being reminded, Hinata Kaede reacted, nodded, and jumped on the roof of a nearby house to hurry.
Not long after, the two of them came to a relatively remote training ground in the village, and a Konoha Shinobi wearing a vest stood in the open space of the training ground.
As if sensing the arrival of the two, Shangnin slowly turned around.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in the bushes, one in front of the other and one in the back, and the scythe and short sword in his hand directly split the upper ninja in half, and the blood-spattered grass was everywhere.
And the two 'other country' ninjas who killed the upper ninja, licked the blood on the side of their mouths, and looked at Hinata Kaede and Megumi fiercely.
Seeing this scene, Hinata Kaede's face changed drastically, and then he hugged his abdomen and began to retch violently, Megumi also began to study in a good way, and after taking a few steps back in fright, he fell directly to the ground.
When the two 'other' ninjas approached, Megumi jumped up and struck the ninja directly in the abdomen with a soft fist.
The two ninjas who were hit froze for a moment, and then turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared, Hinata Megumi turned around directly, looked at the figure that suddenly appeared behind him, and showed a helpless smile on his face:
"Mr. Shangshinobi, don't you worry that we will fall into the shadows from now on by playing these with the students who have just graduated..."
Hinata Kaede also got up from the ground, revealing a palpitating look, he actually found out about Mr. Shangnin earlier than Megumi, but he didn't show his head rashly, he always only showed the right strength.
"I don't need cannon fodder to be my subordinate, I would be disappointed if you were really a simple shinobi, but now it seems that you have passed my assessment.
However, this does not mean that you can take it lightly, and it is better to give up being a ninja sooner. ”
"It's really cruel, Mr. Shangnin......"
After a pause, Hinata Kaede continued: "But when you say this, please ask the teacher to show her true colors, we all have white eyes." ”
Mr. Shangnin smiled, and then lifted his disguise, revealing a pair of snake eyes and a sickly white face.
The moment he saw this face, Hinata Kaede lowered his body and said respectfully: "It turns out that our leading teacher turned out to be Orochimaru-sama, I am really flattered." ”
"I didn't expect you to recognize me."
Orochimaru smiled, and then said: "I am also very surprised that the old man arranged you to come to me, one of you is a new star of Konoha Hospital, and the other is a genius of the Hyuga family, I have heard about it for a long time." ”
What Orochimaru said sounded good, but Hinata Kaede wouldn't believe it completely.
Although he and Megumi are geniuses in their respective fields, the geniuses who have not yet grown up are just geniuses, and Orochimaru has grown from a genius to a well-known powerhouse in the ninja world.
At this moment, Orochimaru changed his words and said slowly: "But those are all things in the past, although it is a little boring, but let's introduce ourselves, starting with you." ”
Hinata Kaede nodded and started to introduce himself first, followed by Megumi.
However, after hearing the self-introduction of the two, Orochimaru did not introduce himself, but said with a smile: "For ninjas, intelligence is everything, even if you lead the team to shinobi, don't disclose information at will." ”
Hinata Kaede asked puzzledly, "Doesn't Lord Orochimaru have a companion worthy of trusting with his life?" In terms of the will of fire, it can be said that you must trust your companions. ”
Orochimaru just wanted to shake his head, but then he seemed to think of something, and then said, "It's too boring to discuss this, it's not too late to discuss these when you go on a mission in the future." ”
At this time, Hinata Megumi, who hadn't seen the third person for a long time, said, "Orochimaru-sama, what about our other teammate?" Why hasn't he shown up yet? ”
"That subordinate of mine you said, he died, just the other day. The scene you just saw was how he died, and the ninja's life was so fragile. ”
Orochimaru seemed to be saying something trivial and inconsequential.
After a pause, Orochimaru continued: "By the way, don't call me teacher for the time being, I only have one student, and he died a few years ago, after successfully staying under me for three years, call me teacher again." ”
