Captive of Hokage

The next day, Shi Ming came to the gate of Konoha Village happily, accompanied by Hizashi and Mikoto.

"Shi Ming, I really have you. Lord Hokage is actually convinced by you."

Mikoto's eyes were full of admiration now. She didn't expect Shi Ming to subdue the Hokage with a cigar tree.

However, Hizashi next to him said: "But although it is a B-level mission, there is no reward. It is completely a waste of time."

The B-level mission assigned by Sarutobi was not an ordinary escort mission, but a mission to eliminate rebellious ninja, and the client was the Leaf Village.

Konoha ninjas are fully obliged to handle the village's internal affairs free of charge, so the village does not need to pay ninja silver.

This was originally an errand assigned to ANBU, but Sarutobi couldn't bear Shi Ming's torture, so he designated the matter as a B-level elimination mission and handed it over to Sakumo.

B-level escort missions are more difficult than cleanup missions because unknown hostile ninjas must be dispatched and the client must be protected.

In Sarutobi's view, Sakumo alone could deal with and clean up the traitorous ninja, so Shi Ming and the other three were not in danger at all.

Since there is no danger, and Shi Ming can fulfill his wish and get a cigar tree, why not do it.

"If you don't have money, you don't have money. This is a task that I took the initiative to do. I will treat you two to a big dinner when I come back."

Shi Ming said grandly, and after hearing this, Hizashi's sorrow disappeared from his face.

Not long after, Sakumo came to the door, and then the four of them headed in the designated direction.

Even though Shi Ming thought he was capable, he still recalled this mission in his mind again and again.

This time it was to wipe out a rebellious ninja from the Aburame Clan, Aburame Takemo. He escaped from the Leaf Village after taking something from the Aburame Clan and is now hiding in a small town in the south of the Land of Fire.

Aburame Takemo believes that the most dangerous place is the safest place, but she didn't expect that his actions were discovered by the Leaf Village.

This matter should have been dealt with by the Aburame clan, but due to their previous friendship, the Aburame clan leader handed over this matter to the Leaf Village.

The four of them kept moving forward, and when darkness enveloped the earth, they stopped to rest.

Of course, it was Shi Ming who made the fire to cook. He caught a few big fish from the nearby river and then roasted them on the fire. After sprinkling them with seasonings, they turned into several delicious grilled fish.

"Shi Ming, your cooking skills are indeed very good."

This was the first time for Sakumo to eat Shi Ming's cooking, and he also saw how dedicated Shi Ming was to eating.

Shi Ming carried three scrolls with him. Sakumo thought they were ninja tools, but he didn't expect that they were all kitchen utensils, which made Sakumo feel helpless.

Moreover, Shi Ming used his family heirloom sword Bai Ya as a kitchen knife before, saying that different kitchen knives have different effects on the taste of ingredients.

Because they were camping in the woods, it happened that Sakumo taught the three ninjas how to climb trees.

This tree climbing is not about climbing with hands, but attaching chakra to the soles of the feet, and then walking on the tree trunks like walking on flat ground.

Because they are all descendants of a big family, Shi Ming and the other three have known about this technique early on, and have already mastered the difference in it.

The Hyuga clan's fighting skills are very sophisticated, so they have long started practicing tree climbing, mainly to improve their control of chakra.

The upgraded version of treading on trees is treading on water.



Attach chakra suitable for your own weight to your feet, and then support your body so as not to sink into the water.

Under Sakumo's guidance, Mikoto quickly mastered some tree climbing skills, but Shi Ming just couldn't do it.

The chakra-enhanced soles stepped on the tree trunk, cracking the tree trunk and making it impossible to climb up.

The main chakra of Shi Ming is too huge. Over the years, as he grows older, broadens his knowledge, and awakens his gourmet cells, his chakra is now more than the three of Sakumo combined.

Shi Ming's cell arousal level is now 5%. If he had captured the puffer whale, Shi Ming felt that it could have increased by at least another 2%, but it was a pity that the food energy at that time was not enough.

It was the only ingredient with a capture level above 20. In the following years, only BB popcorn was the only ingredient refreshed in the store.

The degree of awakening caused Shi Ming's chakra to increase too much, and precisely because it was too much, what was a small amount for Shi Ming was quite big for others.

Shi Ming had always used ninjutsu in a wide range of ways, and suddenly he felt helpless when he was suddenly asked to master this sophisticated chakra release technique.

"Shi Ming, the chakra you release every time is too much, please make it smaller, as small as possible."

Next to the fire, Sakumo said while eating grilled fish.

It is indeed difficult for a chakra-rich person to master such fine operation skills. After all, Shi Ming has been releasing a large amount of chakra at will for a long time, so it is indeed difficult for him to suddenly strictly control the use of chakra.

Mikoto has no such concerns. She has been controlling the use of chakra intentionally or unintentionally since she was a child, so it is easy to learn.

Moreover, Uchiha people learn genjutsu from childhood, and genjutsu requires precise chakra flow.

"It can be smaller. This is already the limit of my control."

When Shi Ming climbed to three meters, he suddenly stepped on the tree and fell down.

Shi Ming saw that Mikoto was actually able to climb ten meters, while Hizashi next to her was actually practicing treading water, which really made Shi Ming very unhappy.

He was a person with a golden finger. Even if he was not as good as Hizashi, he was actually not as good as Mikoto who had not opened his eyes. This immediately made Shi Ming feel unhappy.

Blue chakra appeared on Shi Ming's feet again, and then he stepped on the trees and walked up step by step.

But after walking a few meters, Shi Ming felt like he couldn't do it again.

But at the moment when Shi Ming was about to fall, Shi Ming suddenly increased the chakra on his feet, and then stepped into the tree trunk.

Relying on the support of the tree trunk, Shi Ming's falling body suddenly stopped.

Then Shi Ming walked up the pit one step at a time, as if walking on a muddy ground.

"Hahaha, if it's too soft, I'll be hard!"

Shi Ming laughed arrogantly, as if he was so amazing.

"Sakumo-sensei, how about my method?"

Shi Ming stamped his foot again, but because he climbed too high, he actually broke the tree trunk with his foot.

"Holy crap! Doubling Technique!"

Shi Ming fell from the tree and released the doubling technique in the air, relying on his expanded body to reduce the damage caused by landing.

Sakumo shook his head helplessly and turned around, sighing silently, feeling heartbroken that he had to deal with such a student.

Yes, heartache, and angina.
