Chapter 108 on the road
For this important task, it is actually not a big deal, but it is more about face skills. From the personnel combination, it can be seen that Konoha has no intention of making big fuss.
"It can be considered as taking care of the face of Satsukoshi."
Konoha worked hard to appease this disobedient younger brother. After suffering such a big loss, he was so desperate. But no wonder Konoha and Saurin made peace quickly. The leaders of the two ninja villages were killed by the same person, and two of the five major ninja villages were fooled. Not to mention the heavy losses, they all became the laughing stock of the ninja world. Not only did Saurinja not have to support the mud, but they could not lose much. Anyway, those who were barefoot were not afraid of wearing shoes, and not many people would care that Saurinja was beaten up by Konoha after rebelling. The huge gap in size suppressed Saurinja's hope of winning, not to mention that he was also cheated by his ill-intentioned ally Orochimaru.
Mizuki looked at the team. Although he had already expected the boredom along the way, he never thought it would be so boring. Hinata Hinata himself is a serious person. When he goes out, he has to take into account the face of the family. It is really different from Mizuki's status, so there is no conversation. At most, he has some instructions to Hinata and is in a public manner towards others.
Mizuki is not familiar with Xiri Hong, and he has rarely communicated in the past. The occasional conversation is only when he is with Asma, the three of them can say a few words, but the two of them really don’t know what to say. There is another important reason. Mizuki doesn’t want to deal with Xiri Hong, because she is an Illusion Ninja. Although Mizuki herself is best at sealing techniques and proud chakra control, her illusion ability is also considered to be an entry with the bonus of Mizuki’s superb control. It is precisely because of understanding that she deeply understands the dangers of an Illusion Ninja, especially when an acquaintance who is not prepared for the illusion used by her, she is simply unprepared for it.
"This is also an alternative version of the enemy who is a friend."
As long as you are an illusion ninja, you will unconsciously make habitual actions, which will lead to the aura that is really special. Maybe ninjas who are not familiar with illusion are not very careful, but a real illusion master is actually not easy to hide in front of ninjas of the same level.
As for the other two prisoners of the Sagnin, they had no desire to speak. Although the two villages had already made peace, it was less than a day after all. It was impossible for them to fight each other yesterday, so they didn't mind it today. Moreover, they were still children who were a teenager who was apart from Shuimu, so they really had no common topics.
Also, Gaara, who was covered in sand, had no desire to deal with her.
"So much sand is still carried with you all day long and wrap yourself up from time to time, don't you think it's dirty?"
Shuimu, who is a little obsessed with cleanliness, doesn't want to deal with a dirty child. She hasn't been sleeping for so long, and is obviously not a diligent person who takes a bath. Although Shuimu didn't feel the smell of Gaara, she just doesn't want to get close to her, even if this guy will be Fengying soon.
As for Temari, a little girl about fifteen years old, she looks and figure are pretty good, but her aesthetic appearance is a bit bad. In Mizuki's opinion, her hairstyle is too ugly and her clothes are too rustic. She is still a child of Fengying, but she doesn't know how to dress up, which is really a waste of a good face.
There is no good idea for Shuimu when there is almost no communication.
"It's such a waste of time. If I had known it, I would have brought some information to read it. It would be nice to even bring a few special novels in the ninja world to pass the time. It would take several days to do this, and I can't stand it."
The six people walked through the dullest for most of the day. In the evening, the team finally stopped to rest. After finding a place beside the mountains and rivers, setting up three tents, there was finally a little group activity - sitting in front of the fire to form a circle for supper.
It was not until this time that Shuimu felt a little relaxed. Although Shuimu did not have too many foodies, eating was always a happy thing, especially the delicacies he liked.
When I was out, there was no unnecessary thing like table etiquette. Mizuki took out the bento carefully prepared by Xiaochu and ignored the strange eyes of others. He took out the steaming mixed sushi from the outrageous lunch box and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
"The ninja is away and bringing such an inconvenient large lunch box, isn't it suitable?" Yurihong, who was worried about the exaggerated large lunch box at lunchtime, finally couldn't help asking, "Especially if there is still a task, it will affect combat effectiveness, right?"
"Uh..." Mizuki, who didn't expect that Xirihong would ask questions on his own initiative, was stunned for a moment, "Combat power? Isn't it enough to watch them?" Mizuki said as he pointed to Temari and Gaara who were gnawing on dry food with chopsticks, and did not forget to swallow the food in his mouth.
To be honest, with Mizuki's status, he would not be allowed to participate in such diplomatic activities without any special reason. In formal occasions, Chunin is still not enough, otherwise why would he be alarmed by the patriarch of the Hinata family?
However, I have long heard that Xi Rihong has the characteristics of a heroic girl who is not consistent with her appearance. She is meticulous and extremely serious in her work, otherwise she would not have become a sushi, especially a female sushi, who is known for her illusion. Mizuki, who understands the difficulties of illusion, is also convinced by Xi Rihong's strength. At least now, facing the battle head-on, Mizuki has a very small chance of winning. Of course, Xi Rihong, who is generous in character, is also very generous in drinking, otherwise she would not have been mixed with Yushou Shahongdou.
"You can't say that. Although this mission is probably not dangerous, you still have to be vigilant," Xirihong said dissatisfiedly. "What if the two Sagittarius run away? This is an important bargaining chip for the village."
"Are you going to run away?" After hearing Yuri Hong's words, Mizuki turned his head and asked Mari and Gaara.
Temari shook her head awkwardly when she asked Mizuki's question, and Gaara seemed to have not heard it, and ignored it.
"Look, they all said they wouldn't run..."
They were allies again soon. Both ninja villages were anxious to calm down and rest, so how could they have a problem at this important moment? I guess these two people also received instructions from the Sandja village and would not make misunderstood actions at this time.
Moreover, just one day after Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan, Konoha and Sandnin made peace. How could other ninjas and ninja organizations react so quickly to interfere? Perhaps not many people can figure out the situation. As for the wandering ninjas and robbers on the road, at least there are no ones who are not blind.
Yurihong was speechless when it came to Mizuki. Although the ninja level was higher than Mizuki, he was not the captain of the mission after all. Hinata Hiratsuki didn't say anything, and Yurihong couldn't interfere with what the team members had to eat?
"And, Xiaochun made it by herself, full of love. Don't you make a bento for Asma?"
Hearing Shuimu's casual question, Xiri's face turned red immediately, and hesitated and said, "Why should I cook for Asma? And this is in the mission, it has nothing to do with him..."
"Hmm? It doesn't matter if you're still pretending to be okay? It's been so long, but I thought everyone didn't notice it?"
"Asma bought flowers in my store several times? Didn't it give it to you? That would be strange..." Mizuki pretended to be thinking.
"The irrelevant love is also pretending to be very hard-working..."
However, since Yurihong said that Sarutoko had a question in her mind.
"How did your brother Kankuro escape?" asked Mizuki's opponent Mai, "It seems that he was seriously injured at that time, right?"
Due to the chaos at that time, the Saninaka, who had obvious disadvantages, could not have rescued the three Shininakas, even Fengying's children. However, Gaara was exception, Tsukijiriki always had to save them.
"It's the mentor Ma Ki. I happened to meet him when I retreated, so I took Kankuro away..."
"Maki..." Mizuki murmured to himself, and then stopped asking. The elite policy of the Sagiri Ninja made every combat power extremely precious. Puppet masters like Kankuro, who have the characteristics of Sagiri Ninja, are even more supportive of Sagiri Ninja in the future. "I don't know how Qifeng is."
Every day, the chances of the moonlight waking up are actually reduced. After so long, both physically and mentally, the injuries should have been almost recovered. If you can't wake up, it only means that your vitality has been completely exhausted.
"It would be great if Master Tsunade was here, and I'd probably be able to save Qifeng back and understand it." The village's top leaders knew a lot about the moonlight Qifeng, and most of the Uenin who participated in the mission, were familiar with Yuri Hong, who knew it well with Sarutobi Asma, and it was not surprising that it was at all.
"Yesterday Asuma seemed to have a serious arm injury, it doesn't matter?" After dealing with the matter of washing red beans with Yu's hands yesterday, he was originally going to show Asuma's injuries, but when he came out, he found that the person was gone.
"There are no major problems anymore. They are all trauma. They will be cured in a few days after they are dealt with." This time, Xi Rihong did not hide anything and answered Shuimu's question readily.
"That's good..." Mizuki ate the last slice of sushi in the lunch box.
"I finally got my attention by talking nonsense, and finally I finished my meal..."
Shuimu, who had enough food, quickly packed up his things, then leisurely leaned against the tree trunk behind him, and quietly waited for everyone to finish eating.
"It's all for eating dry food. Hinata Hinata is eating pancakes. No wonder Xirihong doesn't like me. It's so ostentatious, but it's not a big deal anyway..."
There are many ninjas in the ninja world with quirks, and it’s nothing strange to be good at food. Are Scorpion and Deidala still playing art? What’s the point of eating more water and wood?
After a while, the other five people finished eating.
"Ahem."
Suddenly, a signal cough sounded over.
『Hey, is it Hinata Hinata?』
The Hinata clan leader who was used to being full of majesty actually had something to say.
"I have been neglecting to communicate with two teachers before, and Hinata is taken care of by both of them. I am deeply grateful to you..."
"Those who care about Hinata? Thank you Yuri Hong, it's okay. After all, it's the team teacher. Is it considered polite to bring me? If you talk about the Ninja School, then you should also thank Iruka, and...
Hinata Hirasu's literary words made Mizuki feel uncomfortable, and he is considered a despicable person, so what else is?
However, the big guys' politeness also needs to be dealt with. Xirihong and Mizuki also exchanged a few greetings.
"Does Mr. Mizuki be familiar with Neji?" asked Hinata Hirata.
"I'm not very familiar with each other. I have only been together during the mission recently. I have occasionally met and chatted a few times." Mizuki replied.
"Oh? How about Neji?"
"He is a real genius..." Shuimu replied without hesitation.
After hearing Mizuki's words, Hinata Hizuki nodded: "I saw Teacher Mizuki chatting with Neji for a while after the Chunin exam, and I thought you were very familiar with me."
"I know Ningji well. After all, I am also a genius with great significance in the village and a pillar of the future."
Shuimu, who was dealing with it casually, felt helpless in her heart. She had just contacted these geniuses of these big families so many times that she was noticed, even if that was the critical period of Ningji's psychological changes.
"With the ability of the white eyes to detect, it is not surprising that he found his actions and approaching Nishi Niji, but these big families are too cautious. Fortunately, I didn't put my hope on this group of family children..."
Next is the topic of Hinata Hinata and Hinata. Although Mizuki thinks he knows Hinata's talent better than Hinata, he can't get into it, so he can only listen honestly.
"Sure enough, my concern for the eldest daughter of the Zong family has never stopped, but I just haven't shown it normally, people from the big family..."
Mizuki can actually understand Hinata Hinata's painstaking efforts and difficulties. Family and personal expectations are often not consistent. Hinata Hinata is not only a patriarch, but also a father.
After nightfall, everyone who walked a long way was tired and rested early. Hinata Hinata each had a tent, Hinata Ko and Mizuki, Gaara squeezed a tent, and the last one was given to Yuri Hong and Temari.
However, Shuimu, who was cautious, took time to do a lot of cordons and traps near the station. Even if he had rolled his eyes, Shuimu decided to take more insurance measures.
...
In the quiet night, only the howling of wolves, frogs, and various unknown insect sounds came.
Suddenly, Mizuki was awakened by a wave, and then quickly sat up. The sudden movement attracted Gaara, who had not been sleeping not far away, and then looked at Mizuki strangely.
"What's going on?" Hinata Ko woke up and asked.
