"Swordsman in black?" Lan

Not long after leaving the hospital, Hayato looked at Iroha who was leisurely walking in front with some surprise.

"That's right."

Iroha held her hands behind her back, took small steps, and said with a chuckle: "Single-handedly faced the elite troops led by two high-level officials of Tsukigakure Village, and won the battle, killing dozens of pursuers who were at least chunin or above. Ninja, the Konoha ninja who forced the two Tsukigakure elite jounin to give up the pursuit and then retreat in embarrassment with the remaining troops."

Hearing this, Hayato couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Yueyin Village didn't suppress such a shameful incident. Aren't they afraid of losing the reputation of the village and not being able to receive big mission orders in the future?

Are they really that open-minded?

While thinking, Caiyu suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Hayato up and down, her eyes wandered on the wide black trench coat on his body, and finally smiled: Lan

"Congratulations, Hayato-kun. You have become famous in one battle. From now on, you will be Konoha's black swordsman. And with your strength and talent, it won't take long for this name to spread throughout the ninja world. Alright."

Regarding Caiyu's praise, Hayato said very calmly:

"I don't think this is a good thing, and this so-called reputation is probably a method used by the two so-called high-level officials to reduce the blame for the failure of the operation. The harder they talk about me, the lighter their responsibility will naturally be. It will be easier to explain to the superiors."

Hearing this, Caiyu immediately narrowed his eyes and the smile on his face became thicker.

"You are as sober as ever. You are worthy of being the man who made Xiao Huahui so dizzy. He is indeed not an ordinary outstanding man. It seems like reminders are totally unnecessary for you~"

She said sincerely, then muttered inexplicably, and then said with emotion: "However, although being excellent is not a bad thing, Hayato-kun, you are so excellent that as your instructor, I always feel a little disappointed. "

With that said, she turned around and walked forward again, her little head slightly lowered, as if she felt a little disappointed just as she said.Lan

However, Hayato's expression didn't change at all, it was still the same painfully plain look.

"So Iroha-sensei, you called me here just to tell me this?"

"whispering sound!"

Seeing that Hayato had no intention of comforting him, Iroha clicked her tongue.

"A guy who doesn't understand the charm."

Hayato glanced at her petite and cute back, and said calmly: "A little brat with no hair on his head, knows nothing about style."

"This is not something a child can say." Lan

"Whatever you say."

Hayato shrugged, not bothering to answer.

Iroha didn't dwell on this topic.

"anyway."

Hayato let out a long yawn and continued: "Teacher Iroha, what did you mean by deepening mutual understanding just now?"

"That's what it means literally."

Iroha slowed down her pace and waited for Hayato to catch up and walk side by side with her. Then she turned her head and looked at Hayato, her expression becoming serious inexplicably.Lan

"Between companions, a basic understanding is still necessary, especially for companions who are about to embark on the battlefield and need to trust each other's backs. The information on one's own side as the basis for action judgment is crucial. You are right. Right, Hayato-kun?"

Hearing what she said, Hayato's eyes trembled slightly, and at the same time he concentrated his mind, and the carelessness on his face quietly disappeared.

"Like?"

What Caiyu said at this time was obviously not the insignificant chat just now, and the way he spoke was completely different from his usual lazy tone.

"Before setting foot on the battlefield, you must have a general understanding of basic information such as the strength, character, and abilities of your companions, and have a good idea of ​​your own combat power. Only in this way can you make relatively correct judgments on the complex battlefield, otherwise the consequences will be It’s unimaginable.”

As she said that, she looked at Hayato with a trace of unprecedented solemnity in her eyes.

"Although I don't know what you want to gain from the upcoming war, Hayato-kun, but in any case, since you have decided to go to the battlefield with me, then I can no longer treat you the same way I treated you as a student, but I will treat you as a companion who can fight side by side." Lan

Hearing this, Hayato couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Iroha's meaning is very simple.

Since we are partners fighting side by side, we need to know the approximate strength of the opponent.

In other words, at least it was necessary to make sure that he was qualified to fight alongside her, and the strength he showed was one of the main basis for Caiyu's future actions.

If he is strong enough, then the level of tasks he can reach on the battlefield will be high enough.

At least they won't be used as cannon fodder.

On the other hand, if his strength is too poor, then he will basically be able to do odd jobs after he goes to the battlefield.Lan

But the way to determine his strength couldn't be simpler.

Therefore, what Caiyu said, the place where we can deepen mutual understanding, is about to come out.

"So, teacher, are you going to take me to the training ground?"

"The answer is correct, but there is no reward."

Caiyu gently stroked her pink waist-length hair, and said slowly: "Teacher also knows that Hayato-kun you don't like to show off, but there is no way, the teacher must have an understanding of your current strength, so..."

Speaking of this, her eyes became somewhat meaningful for no reason:

"When we have a real fight with swords and guns later, teacher, I will show my true strength and fight you for real~" Lan

Hayato's hands that were resting behind his head suddenly tightened slightly.

Iroha-sensei’s true strength?

That kind of powerful force that can directly defeat the five people of Shuangyue in a one-on-one fight?

Hayato didn't have any contempt for this legal loli.

This guy is definitely very strong!

Even if he is not as good as Minato, he is still the top master among the contemporary Konoha ninjas. If such a person wants to fight him...

Pa...Lan

The small hands under the long sleeves tightened slightly, and Hayato took a deep breath inexplicably.

"I understand, Teacher Iroha, I will take it seriously."

Iroha smiled with satisfaction.

"This is the first time I have a serious discussion with you, Hayato-kun. I feel a little...excited~"

Hayato also smiled.

"Just in time, I also want to try Iroha-sensei's depth."

Hearing this, Iroha's face didn't look strange at all, and she obviously didn't realize there was anything wrong with Hayato's words.Lan

This topic ended, and the two started chatting again.

While talking, the two walked together through the bustling streets, through the slightly dense residential areas, past the Uchiha clan's residence, and finally arrived at a deserted open space in the mountains and forests.

After arriving here, Hayato and Iroha turned their heads and separated in a tacit understanding, and then stood facing each other.

"So……"

The two of them reached out their hands at the same time, put their hands on the hilt of the sword, grasped the hilt and slowly pulled out the long sword inside.

When the two special long swords were exposed to the air, two frightening cold lights suddenly shot out from them. At the same time, with the blessing of chakra flowing out, they made a harsh "buzzing" sound.

"Let's begin!" Lan

Bang!

The moment the words fell, the figures of the two people suddenly turned into a ball of white smoke with a soft sound, and disappeared in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, there was only a "bang" sound of metal clashing. At the moment when sparks flew, the two figures appeared at the same time. The luminous light in Hayato's hand trembled violently and collided with the special long sword in Iroha's hand. together.

The battle is imminent!
