This Shinta from Konoha is so brave.

Leaf Village.

The gate you often walk through.

Two men in green vests sat in the shed set up next to the gate, shivering and continuing to cook quail.

When Twilight Shen, Gao Feng, and Xi Yan passed by, they smiled and greeted the three of them.

"Go out to practice again. You are really working hard. It's almost the New Year and you won't take a break."

Moonlight Gale said with a smile: "Don't you also have no rest? Anyway, you are idle during the holidays. If you don't use it to exercise, you don't know how far you will be left behind."

"As expected of you, the future of Konoha must belong to young people like you."

The three of them all smiled modestly and did not answer the question.

Although they are not bad, they are still far from the group of people who have grown up now.

The so-called bunch of people refer to Kakashi, Metkai, Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai, Shisui and others.

Especially Kakashi and Shisui, their reputations are very loud not only in Konoha, but also in the entire ninja world.

In comparison, although Shisui is younger than Kakashi, his record is even more exaggerated than Kakashi.

"We're off to training, see you later."

"Come on w"

The two gatekeepers shook their fists in encouragement.

After the three of them disappeared from sight, the two of them withdrew their gaze and looked at each other, each looking at the other person.

For a while.

One of them stood up and said, "I'm going to get some hot water, do you want it?"

"If you want, please bring me a cup." The other one took out a cup.

The man fetching water turned away and disappeared from sight.

Soon.

The man who had just fetched water came back and handed over the hot water.

The man took it and drank: "Thank you Jianjie. The weather is really cold. I hope winter will pass soon."

"Winter is not easy to live with, and it will be a long time after the new year."

"When you say that, it makes me feel even more uncomfortable."

"I am telling the truth."

The two chatted for a while and then resumed their quail state.

Hokage Tower.

The third generation was working, with several piles of documents piled high in front of him.

The closer to the New Year, the more things he had to deal with as Hokage.

Just like when a company closes its accounts at the end of the year, during that time, especially the departments and bosses responsible for data will work crazy overtime.

The same goes for Naruto.

Not only does he have full authority to handle the affairs of the village, he also has to submit various reports to the daimyo of the Fire Country.

Fortunately, these things have been finalized, but the various budgets for next year also need to be reported in advance.

咚咚

"Enter."

"Reporting to the Hokage-sama, we have lost contact with another outpost located on the border between the Country of Grass and the Country of Taki in the northwest of the Country of Fire."

An ANBU officer came in. After he came in, he went straight to the topic. After reporting, he handed a scroll to the third generation.

After Sandai took the scroll, he read the information on it carefully.

The Country of Grass and the Country of Taki are two small countries, located in the transitional zone between the Country of Fire and the Country of Earth.

During the Third Ninja War, the famous Kannabi Bridge was nearby.

"This troubled time has to stop even at this time. Send ANBU Team to investigate the situation and confirm which force is responsible."

"But except for those who protect Twilight Shen, everyone else in the fifth class is on mission."

The third generation frowned. During this period of time, there have been constant skirmishes on the border, and many people from the ANBU have been sent out to perform tasks.

"Then make arrangements first."

"Except for the manpower that must be left in the village, there are not enough other manpower, Hiruzen." Danzo's voice came from outside the door, and then he followed in.

"Danzo-sama." The ANBU quickly saluted.

Danzo ignored him and looked at the third generation: "It turns out that what I did before was not wrong. I pushed out a Twilight Shen and gained more.

The border should be a response to our behavior in the villages, which proves that we have caught them by the foot.

I have obtained a lot of information from it. Now is the time for us to play our role. We must gather our manpower to break their claws that extend into the Land of Fire and clean up those rats. "

As Danzo spoke, he also took out a scroll from his arms and threw it to the third generation.

After a moment of silence, Sandai said: "I'll leave this matter to you."

Danzo had already anticipated the Third Generation's reaction, so he nodded and turned to leave.

After Danzo left, Sandai thought for a while and said, "Go and call Asimaban."

In fact, Shen knew that other people who were spies were not stupid, and he was obviously released as a target.

Moreover, there is ANBU protection, so anyone who becomes a spy must think carefully about it.

Based on some rumors in the village recently, Shen guessed that he was probably thrown out by Danzo to attract attention, while the roots of the old dog were secretly operating.

However, Shen is not without benefits.

During this period of time, the attack on Kakashi was not in vain, and countless wool were harvested from him.

The experience of fighting with masters has been greatly improved, and even the control of seals and chakra during battles has been greatly improved.

The level of swordsmanship has also improved.

Kakashi's own swordsmanship is very powerful. Although Hayate and Yugao were good later, they are a little more mature now.

In short, blood is earned.

This point has a very obvious change from the actual combat with Gale.

"No, no, I can't, Shen, please stop for a moment."

Moonlight Gale was so tired that he collapsed on the ground, not caring whether it was dirty or not.

After such a long period of exercise, although his physical fitness has improved a bit, he is still too weak. This should be a disease in the body and needs to be slowly corrected.

In any world, there will be many strange and incurable terminal diseases.

Such as ferret.

With his strength at the time and his status as a member of Akatsuki, he still had no way to deal with his terminal illness.

Shen also stopped and put down the bamboo training knife in his hand.

He said: "Then let's stop here today. Tomorrow is the new year. Let's go back early and clean up today.

Thank you, Hayate and Xiyan, for your company during this period. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to progress so fast. I don't know what to say in the new year, so I wish you a happy new year one day in advance. "

"Don't say that, Shen." Gao Feng was still breathing heavily, and it was Xi Yan who spoke, "We have also benefited a lot during this period. If it weren't for you, we might have been complacent about our previous achievements for a long time.

It was you who made us understand that the so-called hard work is not to move ourselves, but to surpass ourselves. "

Shen was shocked.

By the way, when did I let you understand this?

Gao Feng sat up from the ground and said with a smile: "Shen, Xi Yan is right, we have to thank you very much. Knowing you is the most correct thing in my life."

puff~

Twilight Shen almost burst out, "Brother, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I just want to be polite and acknowledge the occasion. Don't act so gay."

Gale and Xiyan didn't know what Shen was thinking. They looked at each other and said to Shen at the same time: "Shen, Happy New Year."

That tone was so sincere.

"Haha, have fun together, thank you."

Shen's tone was equally sincere.
