Konoha Thief

Chapter 8 The task of border defense is being carried out

The setting sun shone on the San'in camp, and the half-day warm sun gradually turned to dusk. Captain Sarutobi, who was stationed here, finished his official duties and patrolled the border line. After confirming that everything was normal, he returned to the camp and took a short rest. They summoned the Aoki team.

Masashi Sarutobi is a short and stocky middle-aged man, in addition to his solemn and majestic temperament, the appearance of the beard and prickly hair makes Natsuki think of Asma Sarutobi in his head.

Speaking of Sarutobi Asma, Natsuki has no chance to meet him. It's not that Sarutobi Asma has any special treatment as the second son of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Although the Sarutobi family background is enough to make Sarutobi Asma Ma received the best training, but her father was already in a high position, so she naturally had to lead by example. At least on the surface, Asuma Sarutobi entered the ninja school like ordinary people, but it was a pity that Natsuki had already been forced to graduate.

"Captain Sarutobi!"

Aoki Genzhi's interface was full of reverence, and he bowed respectfully.

"Well, Aoki, this is about the division of the border areas of your team, take it back and read it in detail, and take over from Team A to carry out the border defense mission early tomorrow morning."

Masashi Sarutobi's words are concise and powerful, his eyes are calm and unwavering. It is really common for him to arrange tasks for new ninjas.

"Yes!"

Gennosuke Aoki took a step forward, took the simple map on the desk, glanced down, and saw that it was exactly this boundary line, and a certain section of it had been marked, obviously it was theirs. mission area.

"Well! Go down."

Shinobi Sarutobi nodded slightly, and glanced at the three ninjas behind Gennosuke Aoki.

Kuno Kuroyu felt the glance, and puffed up his chest solemnly, as if trying to impress his boss.

However, what Sarutobi Masashi was looking at was not him, but Kosuke Maruhoshi who was waiting quietly beside him.

Seeing these in his eyes, Natsuki knew from the bottom of his heart that Kosuke Maruyoshi had dealt with Hiruzaru Sarutobi, and Kosuke Maruyoshi only performed tasks at the ninja level, and was also approved by Hiruza Sarutobi, the Sarutobi family It is normal for some ninjas to know the existence of Kosuke Maruhoshi.

But even so, it can be seen that the captain of Sarutobi Shinshi is not too far behind in the Sarutobi family.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Shu got up very early, but in order to carry out the next task, he did not exercise like yesterday, but simply moved his muscles and bones.

Looking up at the rising sun, Xia Shu took a deep breath, and then took a few deep breaths. The cold air entered his lungs, and his sleepiness was swept away.

He lowered his head to look at his slender and flawless palms, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, but he thought of the feedback he got after filling half of the Chakra into the black hole of the dimension thief's hand yesterday.

The golden finger of Dimensional Thief Hand is a bit weird, filled with a vague feeling, it needs to add chakra to activate it, but although the amount it consumes increases each time, there is no fixed formula.

Xia Shu also tried to find the law in it and calculate the amount he needed next time. Even though such a calculation had no practical significance, the futility in the end made him very depressed.

However, whenever the chakra needed by Dimensional Thieves is about to reach the limit, there will be a feeling similar to throbbing, which is regarded as a reminder, and this feeling appeared yesterday.

It didn't take long for the rest of the team to wake up, and the four of them had breakfast together, and then left the camp with the other ninjas who were handed over.

The border line that the Aoki team is responsible for on the map is in the southwest direction, bordering the country of Sichuan, not the country of rain.

This is obviously taking care of their newcomer squad.

Now the war between Konoha and Sand Yin is at a critical moment, and the final battle may break out at any time. Both sides are accumulating strength, waiting for the time to launch an attack, and they will not take any action easily, just to avoid exposing their flaws.

In contrast, although the chaotic war in the Land of Rain has ended, the ninjas from the three major kingdoms who were scattered at the beginning and the wandering ninjas who fished in troubled waters were all expelled from the rain In this way, the Land of Fire bordering the Land of Rain naturally became one of the outlets for those ninjas.

Although compared with the troops stationed on the border next door, the area that Masashi Sarutobi is in charge of can only be regarded as a remote area in the south of the two countries of fire and rain, but the more so, the more likely it will become a breakthrough for the broken ninja and wandering ninja .

The above is based on the analysis of Aoki Gennosuke and Natsuki's three sub-ninsakus after they got the division map.

"Yo! It's you, brother!"

When they arrived at the location of the replacement post, a hearty voice sounded from the tree.

Xia Shu looked up and saw a grinning young man with yellow hair wearing a Chunin vest, facing him.

"I have seen seniors."

Xia Shu nodded politely.

He consciously doesn't know who this Chunin is, but this doesn't prevent him from being polite.

"Hehe! You must have forgotten who I am, and of course I don't know who you are, but I happened to see you practicing swords in the training ground yesterday."

The blond-haired Chunin said and made a few gestures behind him, and three figures appeared from a few nearby trees. It was the border guard team that the Aoki team had come to replace.

"Natsuki Matsuzaki, please give me your advice, senior."

Xia Shu still spoke politely first.

"Hehe! I'm Hirano Giichi, I can't talk about giving advice, and I'm just a Chunin."

Hirano Yi smiled and waved his hands, and added: "But you are the second hardest ninja I have ever seen! Haha!"

Natsuki couldn't help being startled when he heard this, the second hardest ninja?So who is the first?

"Captain Aoki, you guys will continue to defend from now on, don't worry, this kind of mission will not be tiring except for being boring."

The first half of Hirano Gi's sentence was naturally addressed to Aoki Gennosuke, but the second half of the sentence was directed at Natsuki.

"There are some living utensils and tents here, which can be used at will. These are also left by the previous team."

After saying this, Hirano Yi waved his hand, and the three subordinate ninjas he led rushed out like arrows from the string, and disappeared after a few ups and downs in the forest.

"Uncle Gu Jie, check those utensils, and then let's familiarize ourselves with the environment here."

Aoki Gennosuke ordered.

Kosuke Maruyoshi nodded and walked into the woods.

Unfolding the map and laying it on the ground, Gennosuke Aoki called Natsuki and Kuno Kuroyu over.

"Our location is very good. The boundary line is on the gentle slope west of the forest. We can see it from this forest, so we can usually stay in the forest, just like the Hirano team. This saves trouble and is very convenient. Concealment, if something really happens, most of us can take advantage of the geographical advantage."
