Leaf Ninja Life

Chapter 125 Mission Completion and Team Clique
Not long after, Xiuyi came back to his senses.

Although the value of a ninja is determined by his death, Xiuyi was not completely biased by the cruel reality of the ninja world. Man, what's the difference between that and trash."

He and Orochimaru, who have previous life experiences, are actually the same kind of people in a sense, which may be the reason why they unexpectedly hit it off even though they spent a short time together.

This Iwagakure ninja has not left any traces in this world after self-explosion. Xiuyi estimated that he not only carried ordinary detonation charms, but also something similar to detonation clay, otherwise the power would not be so amazing. .

After searching around the explosion circle, Xiuyi and Orochimaru found nothing else, and the other party did not leave any clues, so the two walked back to the caravan.

When intercepting the masked man, Orochimaru made an earth-shattering performance as soon as he made a move, which is obviously the main body himself.

And with his rich experience, he will definitely not make low-level mistakes such as forgetting his employer and mission. After Xiuyi set off, he has already resolved the uncertain factors as quickly as possible, and then left a shadow clone in place, basically foolproof.

……

Time moved forward a bit, in the jungle near the caravan, the Yaocang group, a small local snake in Daming Mansion, did not run far, and several people carefully observed the situation of the caravan from a hundred meters away.

"How is it now, Gu Hui?"

Everyone's eyes were locked on Gu Hui who was holding a telescope. Whether he could eat a wave of fat depends on his luck.

"Oshemaru has left!" Gu Hui, who had been observing, suddenly said excitedly, "It seems that he is still worried about his disciple, our chance has come."

"Great!" Yaocang and the others were secretly happy. If anything goes wrong, the wildfire group will be responsible for it. As long as they are not too greedy and run away after grabbing a little something, this dangerous action will turn into a better one. become a good thing.

"Then we are ready to act." Yaocang began to make plans, time was very urgent, no matter which side won, they would return to the caravan, and they would definitely not let the few sneaky people off at that time.

"Gu Hui, you and Ryo will continue to shoot arrows to harass, and at the same time, be ready to respond. The others will immediately use the transformation technique, and we will pretend to be members of the wild fire group. Be careful not to lose the tattoo on your hand..."

"Hehe, what a great plan! Can you let me join in?" Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice rang in their ears, which shocked the excited few people, and Gu Hui's beloved The telescope fell to the ground and cracked.

Turning back tremblingly, I saw the black-haired and snake-eyed man standing curiously behind them, but they didn't notice any movement, but the conversation on their side was being heard verbatim.

"D-Oshemaru..." "Ah..."

There were several people's screams in the forest, and then there was no life at all.

...

"Oh? Teacher, you didn't kill them in the end?" Xiuyi was a little surprised when he heard Orochimaru's solution. Oroshemaru let them go after the torture, which was a bit inconsistent with his usual style.

"Hmph, why kill those who are useful." Orochimaru's way of handling this matter can be regarded as an indirect completion of another master-apprentice teaching.

Ninjas like Jiraiya and Orochimaru have their own intelligence networks in the ninja world, which they have slowly accumulated through years of mission experience.

If it is a threatening ninja from the enemy country, of course it must be killed, and people like Yao Cang who are based in the Daming Prefecture and have been corrupted by wine and meat are of course more suitable to develop into their own sources of information.

Because their handle is too obvious, and there is no threat at all in the future, they are even more eager to hug Orochimaru's thigh, maybe an inconspicuous news will be of great help in the future.

After returning to the position of the caravan, I found that most of the people were fine, including the soldier who was bitten by the poisonous frog.

"Uncle Danzuo, I have already recovered your goods. Check to see if there is any loss." Xiuyi put down the big box on his back, still worried that the ninja's movement would damage these fragile items. .

Tanza Inoue immediately smiled, "Great! You are amazing, Xiuichi-kun! Originally, I was prepared to lose that batch of goods on this trip, and I can't blame you for any internal problems. After chasing these back, he really deserves to be a master of the Hokage lineage!"

"Eh..." Xiuyi was a little embarrassed when he heard this. It is estimated that this incident was caused by him, a man of 3000 million people, from the beginning to the end. The object of thanks.

After opening the box, Tanza Inoue took out a plate inlaid with gold and sapphires and checked it. Xiuyi found that there were multiple layers of soft compartments inside the box to separate the valuable goods. Obviously, the thief had prepared it specially. of.

Next, there are luminous pearls and some exquisite accessories in the box, and they all seem to be in good condition.

"No problem at all, thank you very much."

After sorting out the goods, the caravan set off normally again.

It was already the end of the year and winter, and it was snowing heavily in the Iron Country.Fortunately, although there are occasional mountain climbs in the next journey, the terrain is relatively flat, and the caravan arrived at the capital of the Iron Kingdom smoothly after half a month.

Compared with the majesty and magnificence of the capital of the country of fire, the capital of the country of iron can only be described as ordinary. From the mottled traces on the city wall, we can see the long history of this city.

When approaching the city gate, Xiuyi found that the guards guarding the gate were wearing thick armor, like a steel warrior, and even covered their heads with helmets.

After the caravan stopped, Inoue Tanzao stepped forward to talk. After a while, the guards gave way to the city gate, and the caravan began to enter the city in an orderly manner.

"There are a lot of samurai, and I haven't seen a few people dressed as ninjas after walking for a long time." Looking around the streets of the city, there are not many people coming and going on the streets, but there are many samurai holding long swords.

"Teacher, are there any masters among the samurai? I don't seem to have seen so many samurai in other places in the ninja world." Shuichi asked about the information about the samurai Orochimaru at first, wanting to know what is special about this group.

"Actually, in this day and age, the difference between a samurai and a ninja is not very big." Orochimaru's statement made him a little surprised, "For example, the Hanzo of Yuyin Village, his fighting style has both the ninja's ninjutsu and the ninja. The samurai's sword skills, it's hard to say whether he is a ninja, a samurai, or both."

"Pure samurai have long since disappeared under the tradition of Chakra. Now these people in the Iron Country have only inherited part of the training methods of samurai. They can be said to be masters of swordsmanship using Chakra, just for the name of samurai. number without using ninjutsu."

"So these old-fashioned people can only gather together in remote and barren places in the ninja world to keep warm. The rotten things will disappear one day."

"Hiss!" After listening to Orochimaru's words, Xiuyi looked around nervously, if the surrounding samurai heard this, he wouldn't be able to beat them up.

"I always feel that you are implying something, but I have no proof." After thinking about it for a while, Xiuyi still didn't say it out of his mouth. Instead, he thought in his heart that what the teacher said made sense.

The next caravan transaction is not related to Orochimaru and Shuichi. The two waited boringly in the Iron Country for several days, and finally it was time to return.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time, this time the speed of going back can be much faster." Inoue Tanzao apologized for the efficiency of the transaction.

All I took away from the Iron Country were famous knives, weapons and armor, and there were 2 trucks that were not full, so I didn’t need to worry about the damage on the way back.In addition, the entire caravan wanted to return to the warm land of fire as soon as possible, so everyone started to rush with all their strength.

Nearly a month has passed, and there were no accidents on the way back. It seems that most people in the ninja world are still intelligent. With Orochimaru by their side, the chance of killing Shuichi is quite slim.

The caravan successfully arrived at the Daming Mansion before sunset one day, and Tanza Inoue didn't waste the time of the two of them. He came to see off Shuichi after reporting directly to the Daming.

"Thank you very much this time, Oshemaru-sama, Shuichi-kun." Inoue Tanza said sincerely, "Especially because the problem caused by the mole in the Daming Mansion is troublesome to you, so I have specially prepared two gifts. Please be sure to accept it."

After finishing speaking, he took out two exquisite samurai swords from his subordinates, one was slightly longer and the other was slightly shorter, obviously taking Xiuyi's situation into consideration, it was specially prepared for him.

"...Good man!" Because the Daming Mansion is not short of money, the total rewards for this mission are nearly 100 million taels for Orochimaru and Shuichi, and these two knives are high-quality goods traded from the Iron Country.

After Tanza Inoue communicated with the daimyo, perhaps the daimyo still wanted to win over Shuichi, the talented young man who was famous for the Land of Fire and Konoha Village, so he took out two precious samurai swords as gifts.

"Then I'm not going to be polite, there are still tasks in the future, welcome to Konoha again! Goodbye, Uncle Danzuo."

After the mission was over, Xiuyi and Orochimaru returned to Konoha Village that night. Since this mission took a long time, it is estimated that they can take a good rest for a while.

In Hokage's office, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was listening carefully to Orochimaru's mission report. "...Is that so, is it someone from Yan Yin who made the move?"

"The body of the Junin was blown up, but there are still two bodies of the Chunin brought back, although it is likely that nothing can be analyzed."

After the wild fire regiment was wiped out, Shuichi told Orochimaru about the performance of the five Chunin before, and the two basically concluded that Lei Ye, who was acting crazy, and another person were probably the subordinates of the Jōnin, so they sent their bodies Keep it.

"Based on your estimate, how long will it take for Xiuyi to go out on a mission alone?" The Third Hokage had a headache, and it was a waste of top combat power to have Orochimaru follow him to protect him all the time.

Xiuyi's current strength is quite good, but it's too young to be the captain, and coupled with the threat of unlimited potential to the enemy country, I want to ask Orochimaru's opinion.

"I think another 1 to 2 years will be enough." Orochimaru is very confident in his disciples, "With his chakra volume and ninja quality, even if top masters attack, it is impossible for him to be unable to perform ninjutsu .”

"It's already so strong..." Third Hokage thinks this is good news, and soon Konoha will have another elite ninja, and Orochimaru will be completely free, "Then just wait a while."

……

At the end of February in Konoha 45, it was time for the ninja school to graduate. For many students, this is an important step in the ninja career.Although Ishikawa tree has become much stronger after undergoing special training from Shuichi, he is still a little nervous about officially becoming a ninja.

"Xiuyi, will I be divided into classes after the graduation exam? I don't know what kind of teammate I will be assigned to. If it is difficult to get along with, it will be troublesome."

In a training ground in Konoha, Ishikawa Shu and Yuhihong are sitting and resting on the ground. Both of them are used to the severe beating from Shuichi, and the improvement of their strength can be described as painful and happy.

"I don't know about that, but with your grades, you should be able to get good teammates." It's a little regretful that Xiuyi graduated early and didn't form a class with other people. It can only be said that Orochimaru is a special kind of person.

"And ninjas always have to be independent, and the mentor is just a guide. After becoming a zhongnin or a jonin, they will gradually separate."

"In the future, you may form a team with many different people. After all, the world of ninjas is full of accidents. In the future, Shinobi Ishikawa may lead a new team."

"Haha, will there really be such a day?" Ishikawa Shu was aroused by Xiuyi's words, and the image of himself wearing a ninja vest began to appear in his mind.

Regarding the matter of teaming up with different ninjas to take on the task, because the two students were about to graduate, Xiuyi first recalled the original work, and then carefully investigated the situation of Konoha.

Generally speaking, the placement of graduation exams is more important, but not that important.

The teaching of the ninja or the ninja instructor is the continuation of the ninja school, guiding the ninja to some advanced chakra cultivation, task practice and teaching at the same time, it can be regarded as changing from school to small class teaching, in order to make them mature as soon as possible.

So Xiuyi was a little misled by the original book at the beginning. After all, the plot of Hokage is only more than 4 years old. He thought that after graduation and division, other people would have a very deep bond with the same line of Hokage.

In fact, Konoha's ninjas each have their own exclusive coterie, and non-wartime mission teams usually find people they know well.

For example, Kakashi in the original book will perform missions with Anbu’s former colleagues, and will also perform missions with Maitekai, Asma, etc., and will also take time to bring Naruto and the others.

When Naruto Sasuke and his group graduated, being assigned to Kakashi’s class was equivalent to giving him the qualification to enter his small circle. Naruto’s own small circle has classmates from Ninja School and has a close relationship with Kakashi Jonin these people.

It is more flexible to form a team in these small circles. For example, Shikamaru became a Chunin and led the team to chase Sasuke. Yamato replaced Kakashi and followed Naruto Sakura. Naruto went to other classmates to form a team. The captain of Ludie and so on.

So Xiuyi knew that there would definitely be a team with Ishikawa Shu and Yuhihong in the future, even now, but his Chunin is too conspicuous at the moment.

If he really wanted to take the two of them out of the village, he might run away by himself when an expert came to assassinate them, and killed the two of them instead.
