After a brief explanation to the pharmacist Ye Naiyu.

Nara Langui created a [shadow creature] and flew out of Kikyo Castle to Konoha Village.

Dropped off at the spot where the four-man team often meets.

Uchiha Shisui has been waiting here for a long time.

But compared to the other two team members, Nara Langui, the captain of the farthest team, was the first to arrive.

"Zhishui, did you also notify Hinata and Shizune?"

"Each sent a crow."

Uchiha Shisui responded.

"A psychic beast that can fly, it's really convenient."

Nara touched her chin and exclaimed.

Uchiha's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened his mouth to recommend.

"Captain, do you want to raise crows together?"

"No need."

Nara glanced at Uchiha Shisui, the shadows under his feet surging slightly, and a pitch-black "shadow crow" landed on his shoulder.

"Isn't it much more convenient to use a shadow than a crow?"

“…… You're amazing. ”

Looking at this picture, Uchiha Shisui decisively chose to shut up.

But Nara Langui didn't simply let him go.

"By the way, Shisui, how did you get the Hokage's order this time?"

In the ears of the Uchiha Shisui, this question of Nara Langui can be transformed into another sentence-

Why didn't the team leader receive the mission news, but this team member received it first.

"Because the elders in the family were companions with the three generations of Hokage-sama when they were young."

Uchiha hesitated for a while, but chose to confess.

"Because of this relationship, three generations of adults have taken care of me."

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

Nara waved his hand and said bluntly.

"I mean, since you're able to take the mission from the Hokage, I can't trust your ninja qualities anymore......"

Hearing this, Uchiha Shisui suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you to take over the task in the future, Zhishui!"

Nara Langui patted Uchiha Shisui on the shoulder and said in an old-fashioned manner.

"You do things, I don't worry."

I knew it!

Uchiha Shisui resisted the urge to roll his eyes—no, to roll his red eyes.

He really shouldn't have the slightest doubt about the team leader's work attitude!

Absolute pure-blood Nara!

Getting rid of a daily chore with peace of mind, Nara was in a slightly happy mood.

The two waited for a while.

Hinata and Mute are long overdue.

Without much small talk, the four-person team immediately moved in the direction of the Hokage Building.

Swiftly came to the Hokage building and arrived at the Hokage's office on the top floor.

Seeing the arrival of the four-person team, Ape Feiri didn't talk about it anymore as in the past, but directly sent out a piece of information.

"Lan Gui, this is war intelligence from the front line, you can circulate it."

Nara took two steps forward, took the intelligence scroll, and came back to browse with the team.

'The puppet troops of the sand and the demolition troops of Iwakure withdrew from the territory of the Fire Country one after another, and returned safely to their respective countries......

'After the combined attack of the night attack on Konoha, the intensity of the war between Sand Hide and Iwakuin has dropped dramatically......

'Up to this point, there has been some kind of implicit union between Sand Yin and Yan Yin......

"You should have read all the information, right?"

Ape Feiri knocked on the table and said with a solemn expression.

"Although it is said that Sand Hidden and Iwakuin are not openly teamed up to attack Konoha together.

"But the rest of the intelligence transmitted from the front shows that the fighting pressure on the front line is increasing."

Nara Langui and the others silently listened to the Hokage's words and did not react.

After giving a brief introduction to the external situation, Sarutobi took out a scroll from the drawer of his desk.

"This is your mission, an A-class mission to support the front line and defend your comrades."

Nara Langui stepped forward again, took the task scroll, and the task message popped up on the panel.

[Detected triggering A-rank Ninja Quest!] 】

[A-level Mission: Resource Transfer]

[Mission content: 1. Deliver supplies to the country of grass at the junction of the land of fire and the country of earth;

2. Receive companions and safely escort wounded companions from the front line back to Kikyo Castle]

[Reward: A Rank Ninja Secret Scroll]

"For your team, the A-level mission is not very difficult, but it is still a big test."

Ape Fei Ri looked at the four of them in Nara and said earnestly.

"Only by passing this test does it mean that you have met the requirements of the village.

"There will be more difficult and rewarding tasks waiting for you.

"Lan Gui, in this mission, you must do your duty as a captain."

Later, Sarutobi asked Nara Langui and the others to go to the logistics department to pick up the supplies they needed to transport this time.

a huge spatial scroll for storing vast resources;

and another small copy of the "Code Scroll" to open the scroll.

Nara tied the huge scroll to his waist and stuffed the small scroll into his bag of scrolls.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you need to give half an hour for the final preparations for leaving the village?"

Nara did not get a response from any of his teammates.

Including the relatively inexperienced mute, it was also prepared early.

"Then let's go out of the village together!"

Nara Langui skillfully created a behemoth [shadow creature] that carried a team of four and flew out of Konoha Village together.

"As fast as you can, rush to the front!"

The strange and novel [Shadow Creature] soared into the sky, attracting a burst of attention in Konoha Village.

Regarding the special technique called [Shadow God] newly researched by the Nara clan, many ninjas in Konoha Village have heard of it.

But for now, this ability can be used in the Nara clan.

In addition to Nara Langui, there are only two generations of Nara Shikano and Nara Shikaku, the squad leaders of the ninja class.

Considering the legendary deeds of the former guarding Kikyo City, as well as the special status and identity of the latter two.

The influence of the [Shadow God] (Shadow Beast Pseudo-Painting) technique has not yet fully spread.

As for the [Lacquer Eye] technique that was hidden deeper, no one knew about it.

It was thought that after the research of the [Shadow God] (Shadow Beast Pseudo-Painting), the overall clan power of the Nara clan would be greatly improved.

But I'm afraid no one knows, the [Shadow God] (Shadow Beast Pseudo-Painting) is just the first small step in the growth of the Nara clan!

……

The [Shadow Creature] flapped its wings and flew high, quickly leaving Konoha Village behind, turning it into a small black dot dotted among the rolling mountains.

I didn't expect the big fat sheep to become a prophecy. ’

Nara grasped the A-rank quest scroll in his hand and recalled Tsunade's previous explanation.

'Ape Flying Sun Slash really changed his plans. ’

'Originally, I was going to go to the Fog Hidden War Zone, but I didn't expect to go to the Rock Hidden War Zone. ’

But...... The Land of Grass? ’

Nara Langui's mind flashed with information about the country of grass.

I have the impression that there is a lot of information about the country of grass. ’

'But during the three wars, there seemed to be nothing particularly important for this small country......

'It's just that I feel like I'm missing something......

Nara Langui temporarily suppressed the suspicion in his heart, took out the map from the ninja bag, and manipulated the [Shadow Creature] to accelerate forward.

Ninjas are already extremely mobile.

The [Shadow Creature] with the ability to fly has the advantage of speed in long-range marching, which is better than that of a ninja who walks on two legs.

Depart from Konoha in the morning.

After most of the day's flight.

In the evening.

[Shadow Creature] flew to the border area between the Fire Country and the Grass Country, and according to the map instructions, found the base camp of the Konoha Ninja stationed in this area.

Nara Langui manipulated the [Shadow Creature] to slowly fall.

The moment they landed, the three team members dodged to the ground in an orderly manner, and the [shadow creature] melted into the shadows.

Nara Langgui gestured to the team members, and the four of them marched forward together, coming to the entrance directly in front of the Konoha camp.

Two shinobi wearing forehead guards and vests are guarding the entrance to the Konoha camp one on the left and one on the right, and there are still some imperceptible sentry posts in the dark.

And inside the camp, ninjas can be seen shuttling around, and the cold, bloody aura wafts through the air.

Nara Langui looked at the ninja war base in front of him, and at the same time he felt a novelty in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust.

Other ninjas may have been accustomed to war, used to being used as a tool, to following the instructions and orders of their superiors.

But between Nara and these tool ninjas, it's fundamentally different.

A safe and happy life is what he is pursuing.

However......

Nara took a deep breath and led the three team members who were also affected by the same shock to step forward, communicate with the two shinobi who were in charge of the guarding duty, and smoothly entered the camp.

Armed with a huge scroll that caught the eye, the four of them made their way to the very center of the camp.

After a briefing from another ninja, the team of four finally obtained permission to enter the tent.

Nara Langui was the first to enter the tent, followed by the other three.

This is a military camp tent with strange ninja-like instruments placed in various locations of the tent, and a number of ninjas guard next to these machines, linked to the instruments with hoods, and intelligence information is always transmitted from the instruments to the outside world.

The four of Nara looked at the nose, nose, mouth, and mouth, and did not look at the strangely shaped ninja-like machines, but at the black-haired man sitting in the middle of the tent.

"Orochimaru-sama."

Nara took a step forward and untied the huge scroll that was tied around his waist and sent it out along with the small scroll he had with him.

"It's from the village."

"It's been a long time, Nara-kun."

Orochimaru's trademark hoarse voice sounded, and he looked at Nara with interest.

"There is indeed news in the village that a team is being sent to deliver supplies.

"But according to my understanding, unless it's a water gate, even if a normal ninja marches at full speed, they won't reach the border of the country of grass from Konoha until the early hours of tomorrow.

"What special means did you use to shorten the march?"

Orochimaru stayed on the front line for too long, too far away from Konoha Village, and didn't know about the [Shadow God] secret technique that the Nara clan had "newly researched".

"This is a newly researched secret technique of the Nara clan."

Nara explained calmly.

"Can give ninjas the ability to fly."

"Fly!"

Orochimaru subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth.

"It seems that the teacher has really given full consideration to letting your team come to the front line."

"Our current mission is not to support the front line."

Nara took out the A-rank quest scroll again and sent it away.

"The mission assigned by the three generations of adults is for us to transport supplies and escort the wounded."

"I'm sure the content of your mission will change soon, Nara-kun."

Orochimaru took the task scroll, and his innate eyes like a poisonous snake swept over Nara Langui's team.

"Uchiha, Hinata, and...... Well.

"Nara-kun, please rest in the camp for the time being, and I will send someone to count the seriously injured ninjas in the wounded barracks.

"Tomorrow morning, you can return to the village, be careful along the way."
