Hokage: Starting With Uzumaki Kushina

Chiba met Hatake Sakumo at the Konoha stronghold in the Land of Grass.

Hatake Sakumo quite agrees with Chiba accepting Kakashi as his disciple.

Hatake Sakumo asked: "Chiba, why did you come to the Country of Grass? As far as I know, the situation in the Country of Yu has stabilized, and the Country of Grass has always been like that, and there will be no fierce battles. .

If you wanted to fight, the battles with Sunagakure's ninjas would be more frequent in the River Country, wouldn't they? "

Qianyu replied: "Lord Sakumo, I came to the Country of Grass not to fight, but to find something. So for the next task, I hope Lord Sakumo can arrange some reconnaissance tasks for me and give me A certain degree of freedom.”

Hatake Sakumo frowned. Did he come to the Country of Grass to find something?

Hatake Sakumo thought Qianha had received some secret mission, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Hatake Sakumo asked again: "Then how much freedom do you need?"

Chiba thought for a while and said: "I hope that after I detect the Iwagakure ninja and determine the number of opponents, I can be allowed to attack independently, so that I can also teach Kakashi through actual combat."

Hatake Sakumo agreed directly: "If it is just this request, I can still agree, but I also want to remind you Qianyu that you must not be brave. When you encounter a team of more than four people, you will retreat immediately. The fighting time cannot be too long. Long, in case of support from the other party.

The ninjas of Iwagakure are very cunning and cautious. They generally do not fight with few against many. When encountering powerful ninjas, they will retreat decisively and then support Rock Shinobi from nearby, forming a situation of more against fewer.

Because of the cunning and cautious nature of the Iwagakure ninjas, Iwagakure's stronghold in Grass Country is impregnable, and there are many Rock Shinobi, so be careful. "

Chiba replied cautiously: "Sakumo-sama, please rest assured that I will not put myself and Kakashi in danger."

Hatake Sakumo nodded: "Then I will issue a long-term mission to you and Kakashi. Iwagakure has many hidden strongholds in Kusanagi, and these hidden strongholds are very threatening to future battles.

Because as long as there are these hidden strongholds, Rock Shinobi's support will always be one step faster than us.

So you and Kakashi investigate the hidden base of Rock Shinobi in the Land of Grass, and then report it to me.

It's up to you to decide when to set off for the mission. "

Qianyu bowed and said: "Yes, thank you Lord Shuomao!"

Chiba and Kakashi left Hatake Sakumo's room.

Kakashi still remembered what Qianyu said before, that when he arrived in the Land of Grass, he would teach him the magical full concentration breathing.

So Kakashi anxiously asked Qianyu to teach him breathing techniques.

Qianyu looked at the eager Kakashi with a subtle smile on his face: "Kakashi, your mask should be quite breathable, right?"

Kakashi was a little confused as to why Qianyu asked this, and replied: "It's quite breathable."

Half an hour later.

"Teacher Qianyu, I can't breathe!"

Kakashi's mask was stuffed with several layers of cloth by Qianyu, and the breathability could be said to be extremely poor.

Now it was very difficult for Kakashi to breathe normally, as if someone was pinching his neck with his hands.

Qianyu's smile was a bit evil: "Can't you bear it? Then you will have an easier time. You will have to wear this mask all the time. You can't take it off without my request."

Kakashi was confused: "Huh? Do you have to wear it even when sleeping?"

Qianyu explained to Kakashi: "Of course, haven't I introduced the breathing method to you before? It requires you to absorb a large amount of oxygen into the blood in a short period of time to improve body functions.

At your current level, you are still far from absorbing the oxygen that can improve your body's functions, so the first step is to exercise your cardiopulmonary strength.

But you still have time to rest..."

Kakashi's eyes lit up and he looked at Qianyu expectantly.

Qianyu said with a smile: "You can still pick it for a while while eating and drinking."

Kakashi was immediately discouraged: "What, what kind of rest time is this?"

Qianyu rubbed Kakashi's head: "Okay, I'll let you get used to it today, and we'll start the reconnaissance mission tomorrow. Don't take off your mask just because I'm not around. If I find out, you'll be in trouble."

Kakashi couldn't help but trembled when he heard Qianyu's words.

Kakashi immediately promised: "Teacher Qianyu, don't worry, I will never pick it!"

"Okay, then just do whatever you need to do."

Chiba turned around and left. A ninja found Chiba, who was sent by Hatake Sakumo to arrange a room for him.

After the ninja brought Qianyu to a room, Qianyu asked: "Do you have a map of the Country of Grass?"

"Yes, here it is."

The ninja took out a map of the Country of Grass from his ninja tool bag and handed it to Qianyu.

"Thanks."

Qianyu took the map, turned around, entered the room, and closed the door.

The ninja stood at the door of Qianyu's room, his mouth slightly open and his mind a little confused.

What are you doing!

He didn't say he would give the map to Qianyu, he just showed it to him.

Have you considered his feelings by taking away his map like this? !

The ninja left depressed, and he was too embarrassed to ask Qianyu to get the map back.

It's just a map, just go get another one.

Qianyu returned to the room and carefully looked at the map of the Country of Grass.

According to Qianyu's previous guess, Xiang Ling's mother has not yet joined the Grass Hidden Village, but should live somewhere in the Kingdom of Grass.

The Kingdom of Grass is small, but it is still difficult to find someone in the Kingdom of Grass.

But if you exclude some places, you can narrow down a large part of the scope.

The first thing that needs to be eliminated is of course Cao Yin Village.

After that, the strongholds of Konoha and Rock Shinobi will be excluded, so the scope will be much smaller.

However, Qianyu is not sure whether Xianglin's mother is living in seclusion or living with others, so the next step is to find Xianglin's mother, which is a big project.

Qianyu started marking on the map, crossing out some places that were unlikely to be there.

The next day.

After Qianyu finished washing, she was about to leave and took Kakashi to carry out the mission while looking for Xianglin's mother.

As soon as he opened the door, Qian Yu looked at the ground and his eyes stagnated.

I saw Kakashi lying on the ground, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his complexion was very pale.

At first glance, it was caused by lack of oxygen.

Kakashi said weakly: "Teacher Qianyu, I feel dizzy now, I have no strength at all, and I really can't breathe. Can you take it off for a while?"

Qianyu squatted in front of Kakashi and said the coldest words in the gentlest tone: "No, you have to overcome your current state instead of waiting for it to overcome you, so without discussion, you will go on the mission right away. Come on, stand up and follow me.”

Kakashi rolled his eyes and kept muttering in his mind that Qianyu was a devil. He was like this, didn't he have any compassion at all?
