Chapter Forty-Eight: When the Mission Progresses
Hokage Building
"Shuo Mao, are you here to pick up the mission this time?"
Sarutobi smoked the pipe in his hand and talked to Shuo Mao as if he were a friend.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
"Yesterday because of some personal issues, today can not be delayed any longer."
"What kind of mission do you want to take?"
Ape Fei Hizai just smiled and didn't say anything.
Shuo Mao, the inheritor of the will of fire firmly, is also the current trump card of Konoha.
The honor of being a hero has long been achieved for Shuo Mao, and even the half-sleeved Hokage robe was given to Shuo Mao, and he is very relieved to do things, so naturally he will not worry about it.
"Class A"
"Oh, A-class, so you're confident in the strength of these little guys."
Sarutobi looked at the three people behind Shuo Mao.
"Hokage-sama"
Yayoi smiled, longing for the Hokage in his eyes.
"Well, it seems that your strength is still beyond my expectations, and Konoha lacks your sprouts right now.
Ape Fei Sun slashed and smiled.
I look forward to your future. ”
Flame smiled gently as always, and Rin was always Sanno's indifferent face.
It's also Yayoi who cooperated with the ape to fly and laugh.
"The recent A-level mission, well, this is for you, but it is also in line with your strength, Shuo Mao."
Ape Fei Ri took two puffs of his cigarette and flipped through the most recent quest scroll.
Finally, give one of the quest scrolls to Shuo Mao.
"How?"
"That's it, I think they can handle it."
.............
"Teacher Shuomao, what is the task we have taken this time?"
After leaving the Hokage Building, Yayoi asked.
Although Mr. Shuo Mao didn't say it explicitly, looking at what he said, Yayoi could probably guess that this task was not simple.
"It's a mission to clear out the ninjas who have invaded the Fire Country."
"Konoha and Sha Yin have been fighting for two years, and Iwakuin was originally eyeing Konoha fiercely, but now he can't sit still at all."
"This time, it was discovered by the dark department that there were suspected ninjas infiltrating the border of the Fire Country, suspected of being rock hidden ninjas, there were not many of them, presumably they were the advance team that came to collect intelligence.
All we need to do is find this group of people and leave them in the Fire Nation once and for all. ”
Hearing Shuo Shige's words, Yayoi understood in an instant.
Originally, the three ninja villages fought in the land of rain.
But Iwain misestimated Yunyin Village, which caused Iwain to be stolen and forced to withdraw from the battlefield, allowing Konoha to pick up a bargain in vain.
This time, they took everything into account, and if there was a problem with Yunyin Village itself, they would not attack Yanyin again.
Iwakuin's move is necessary to test the bottom of the Konoha and provide a message for the Sand Hidden Village by the way.
Iwakuin Village is about to join the war against Konoha, persistence is victory, don't retreat.
Of course, if Konoha's strength is still strong, then it will not be a loss for Sha Yin to consume another wave of Konoha's vital power.
In this way, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended.
Tsuchikage was really scheming, and he waited patiently for two years, and finally in the year when the two armies were eager to divide the victory.
Pinch this time, hang the sand in hiding, and use them for waste.
"Go home and get ready, gather at the entrance of the village at five o'clock in the afternoon."
"Yes"
..............
Since it was her first time on the battlefield, Yayoi dug a small storage compartment for her equipment.
After all, war is not child's play, and it would not be good if these things were damaged because of war.
Of course, Uzumaki and Uchiha Gene Liquid Yayoi carry it with him.
These two things can be used with you, and they must be in a safe place as long as the dragon's blood is completely activated and injected out of control.
Otherwise, after the injection of the gene fluid, Yayoi had almost no combat power in the process of violent conflict between the two bloodlines.
At that time, if it was discovered by the enemy, it could only be slaughtered.
"Take a few detonation charms, and an antidote, a thousand books, and a kunai ......."
Almost all the things that Uchiha Yuan needed to bring on the battlefield were prepared for the flames.
Although he knew that the fate of ninjas was like this, he experienced the more brutal Sengoku period.
But this mood is still complicated, and it is really unbearable to watch my granddaughter go to the battlefield.
"Let's go, second grandfather."
"Little Yayoi, you must protect the flame in a crisis."
Uchiha Enichi instructed.
"Second grandfather, I'm stronger than Yayoi-kun, and I'm protecting him."
Flame expressed dissatisfaction with what Yuan Yi said.
And Yayoi just smiled.
sunset
Dusk came, and the sunset covered the reddened clouds.
The two came to the Hyuga clan land, took Rin out, and after a full meal, prepared to go to the village entrance to gather.
"Are you ready?"
Shuo Mao walked unhurriedly from the meatball shop, holding three strings of meatballs in his hand.
Three people are exactly one person in a string.
"Of course"
"Let's go!"
............
Border Forest
The branches trembled gently under the pressure exerted by the force, and four black shadows walked forward in the night.
In the dim environment, Rin opens her eyes and is always on guard.
"There is no trace of the enemy lurking"
After confirming that no one was there, he closed his eyes and continued to follow Shuo Mao on his way.
"There's no whereabouts of them in this area, go to the next location."
Shuo Mao nodded.
This is normal, what Iwakuin is best at is earth escape, and it is normal to run fast.
However, what worries him is that in the border forest, not only are Iwakuin ninjas lurking, but even Sand Cain may be lurking here.
A-level missions may evolve into S-class missions at any time, that is, Shuo Mao's own strong strength, otherwise it would be impossible for Ape Fei Ri to take on this task with confidence.
And this mission also took into account the configuration of the team.
With Rin's white eyes, their mission will be much more convenient, which is why Shuo Mao thinks the task is appropriate.
No trace of the lurker was found, and the team continued through the darkness.
Several locations submitted by the dark department have been checked by them, and the next thing is to judge according to the experience of leading the team to shinobi.
The team continued to move towards the depths of the forest, and Rin continued to open his eyes.
Within two kilometers, everything is hidden, revealing its original form under the insight of the white eye.
Suddenly, Rin who was jumping in the woods stopped, and the team immediately stopped.
"Rin, what did you find?"
Shuo Mao asked, looking at Rin, who was staring ahead.
"A kilometer ahead, five chakra marks were found."
Rin was expressionless and told what he saw.
"It is speculated that there is one upper ninja, two middle ninjas, and two lower ninjas."
"That's it"
Shuo Mao thought briefly for a moment and then decided on a plan.
"Rin and Flame are responsible for killing the two middle ninjas, and the lower ninja is in charge of Yayoi, and as for the upper ninja, hand it over to me."
This kind of task should not be too simple.
With the early warning of white eyes, Shuo Mao, who knew the location in advance, was completely able to kill the opponent's upper ninja with one blow.
Even if you can't kill it, you can definitely hit it hard, and as long as Shangnin is hit hard, the others are like lambs to the slaughter in Shuo Mao's eyes.
