The two looked back, not only Sato, but even the ninja who ran away with him.

Quan Xin's eyes were suddenly revealed, it seems that the two did not choose to go out to hide for a while, but chose to follow the caravan around.

It not only avoids being attacked by the caravan, but also avoids implicating the caravan when the horn capital is attacked.

"Huh ......" saw that Sato was safe and sound, and Hirasawa was slightly relieved.

Although he knew that Sato would not have an accident, seeing it with his own eyes, Izumi Shinyu's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he glanced suspiciously at Daisuke Kotani, who was hiding in the corner.

"Izumi, there's nothing wrong with you there, is there?"

Sato suddenly patted him on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

Noticing his puzzled eyes, Sato didn't explain too much, just shook his head at him slightly.

Izumi Shinyu nodded, and didn't ask too much, since Sato chose to do so, he didn't want to be that bad guy.

"Don't worry, Mr. Sato, there will be no problem."

A few people just communicated like this.

As for why Sato and the others didn't go to the bonfire to keep warm, although Hirasawa didn't know the reason, he didn't ask too much.

Although she had only been an official ninja for more than two months, she had already become aware of it.

After chatting for a while, Sato let them return to their respective posts.

Over the next three days, the caravan returned to its initial calm.

Except for a few rainstorms that caused a bit of a mess in the convoy, everything was unharmed.

After handing over to Taro Shimada, the leader of the caravan, Izumi Shinyu and his party began to return to Konoha.

These days, Daisuke Hiroya seems to be a different person, becoming reticent, sometimes asking him two or three sentences, and he will only reply to you.

Izumi Xinyu expressed helplessness about this.

The relationship between the two is not very harmonious, even if he has the heart to persuade him, he can't find a way.

During this period, Ping Ze enlightened him a few times, but no matter how the little girl asked, all he got was that he shook his head and shook his head.

Without the shackles of the caravan, the return journey was much faster.

Seeing the gate of Konoha, everyone felt a sense of relaxation that they had never felt before.

The same goes for Izumi Shinyu.

Although he has repeatedly denied that he will not be compatible with Konoha, the precipitation of six years has already made him feel inexplicably dependent on this village.

Perhaps this inexplicable sense of belonging is the reason why a large number of Konoha ninjas dedicated themselves to it.

Sato saw their state and smiled slightly, it seemed that the first time he went out to return to the village, it seemed to be the same......

Time flies......

"Let's go! People are still waiting for us to register! ”

……

“…… That's it, my opinion is to give up this Zhongnin exam, but the final decision is up to you. ”

Sato took out three applications for the Shinobi exam and put them in front of the three of them.

The three of them looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

"I agree with the teacher."

In the end, it was Izumi Shinyu who stood up.

In his impression, the middle ninja exam didn't seem to go very well.

moreover

He glanced at Daisuke Kotani slightly.

Their team still has problems that have not been solved!

"Izumi ......" Hirasawa stopped talking, obviously she wanted to take the middle ninja exam.

"It's okay, you express your thoughts too." Sato encouraged.

"Yes." Hirasawa nodded, "I want to take the Shinobi exam." ”

"Even though we are just rookies who have just graduated from the ninja school, even though we are weak, even though the enemies are all seniors who have experienced two, three, or even more times, I still want to participate, and if we fail, we will fail, I am not afraid!"

"Hmm." Sato nodded, then looked at the rest of the group.

"Daisuke, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Daisuke Kotani looked a little flustered.

Looking at his flustered appearance, Sato sighed slightly, does he not have the talent to enlighten people?

……

……

"Old, teacher, is there anything going on?" Daisuke Kotani's voice was extremely weak, as if he was afraid of something.

"Daisuke, you have to understand, it's not your fault." Sato grabbed his shoulders and looked at him with burning eyes.

But Daisuke Kotani didn't seem to dare to look at him, and his gaze seemed very floating.

"Fear is inevitable in the face of enemies far stronger than yourself, even teachers, especially if it is the first time you have encountered such a situation."

"But......" Daisuke Hiroya stopped talking.

Whenever he remembered the embarrassed appearance when he encountered the Aurora Thieves, he was ashamed and wanted to dig a hole to hide in.

From time to time, he always remembered in his mind that when he went out on a mission, he had a condescending attitude towards Izumi Xinyu.

He was ashamed of it.

It's not so much that his current state is because he ran away in the face of a strong enemy and left Sato-sensei to face the enemy alone, but rather because he was ashamed of his overestimated self-strength.

Seeing this, Sato immediately reassured: "Daisuke, you know, I don't mean to blame you. ”

"I ......"

Daisuke Tsutsuya doesn't know why, it's clear that he has mustered up the courage, but when he sees the teacher's eyes, he feels an inexplicable sense of emptiness.

Seeing this, Sato directly patted him on the shoulder and said loudly:

"Daisuke, tell me what is the forty-first article of the ninja code?!"

Suddenly frightened by him, Daisuke Kouya instinctively recited the answer.

"Ninjas who carry out tasks in small teams, if they encounter an invincible force, can retreat as appropriate, and everything is based on the mission. This goal includes, but is not limited to, vital intelligence and the safety of protected persons. ”

"Are the Aurora Thieves strong?"

"Strong."

"Is it an invincible force to you?"

"Belong!"

"Did you do something wrong?"

"There is ......"

Sato slapped him in the head, "Tell me!" ”

"I'm not wrong!"

"I ......" Daisuke Hiroya almost opened his mouth.

Sato slapped again, "I'm not wrong!" ”

"I'm ......" Daisuke Kouya's tone was just about to go down, and Sato's palm rose again.

“…… That's right!! ”

Sato nodded, "Yes, you're not wrong!" You're just doing it to get the job done! ”

……

……

"Daisuke, tell me what you think." Izumi Xinyu said suddenly.

"Huh?" Daisuke Kotani looked at him in surprise, all along, because of him, the two of them called each other by their full names.

"Daisuke, you also want to take the Nakashinobi exam, right?" Hirasawa stared at Daisuke Koutani with burning eyes.

The persuasion of the two seems to have given Daisuke Koutani courage.

"Yes, I want to take the Nakashinobi exam too, Sato-sensei!"

"I also want to meet the ninjas of other ninja villages, so that they can see how powerful I am!"

Seeing this, Sato smiled with relief.

It seems that his persuasion is still somewhat useful.

but

"Teacher, two to one, we decided to take the middle ninja exam!" Hirasawa announced loudly.

Sato's smile froze on his face.
