I draw sword light in the ninja world

Since the jounin of Team [-], Shiroun Ayaha, needed time to recover, he was temporarily unable to lead the team out of the village to perform tasks, so Team [-] began another boring and long D-level mission. Every day, he was either cleaning up garbage in the river, or looking for cats, Taking out the trash, mowing the lawn, and other chores.

Of course, Hayato was too lazy to do this kind of rubbish task, so he just let the shadow clone do it while the main body went to practice.

Although he now has the ability to single-handedly kill an entire team of pursuing troops who are at least at the chunin level, this ability is still not enough. If he wants to be better in the upcoming war, or even in the future, To survive various crises, you have to continue to become stronger.

Fortunately, he went on a mission soon after that day. After all, he was a genius as famous as Kakashi and had many expectations. Now that the overall situation in the ninja world is becoming increasingly tense, he naturally does not have so much free time.

The peaceful days passed day by day.

Finally, after half a month, Caiyu, who had completely recovered, called again in the evening and announced that Team [-] would continue to perform official tasks.

And due to the excellent performance of the last patrol mission, the difficulty of the next mission may be a serious B-level mission, rather than the previous side ball.

However, Sato Beidou was not as excited as last time. Instead, he was a little uninterested and looked quite worried.

Huahui didn't show anything special, but her expression was slightly unnatural.

It's no wonder, after all, the first time they encountered hostile ninjas from outside the village was the elite troops who dared to invade the Land of Fire. Although they did not fight the enemy head-on, the enemy's fierce performance still cast a shadow in their hearts.

"What is this mission?"

Hayato asked straight to the point.

Caiyu didn't show off, and said bluntly: "Protecting the target to the destination is an escort mission."

Hearing this, Beidou couldn't help but look troubled.

"Teacher Iroha, is this kind of mission too early for us?"

"This is an order from above."

Iroha glanced at her.

"Trust the judgment of the senior management."

As she spoke, she took out three scrolls from her arms and threw them to the three of them.

"The specific content of the mission is in it. You go back and take a good look at it. We will meet at the same place tomorrow morning."

The three of them took the scroll and responded.

"Then, let's get here today and disband."

"Yes."

Beidou and Huahui put away the scrolls and prepared to leave, and Hayato did the same. It was still early and he could go to the abandoned training ground to practice square slashes and the like.

But just as he was about to leave, Caiyu stopped him.

"Hayato, wait a moment."

Hayato stopped immediately, and then turned back with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's wrong? Teacher Iroha."

Beidou and Huahui also looked over.

"I have something to tell you." Caiyu said expressionlessly, then looked at the other two people: "You go back and prepare for tomorrow's mission."

After sending the two of them away, Iroha looked at Hayato, the solemn look in his eyes slowly dissipating.

"Let's go."

"Where?"

"BBQ shop."

"???"

Hayato looked confused: "Why are you going to a barbecue restaurant suddenly?"

"Thank you, thank you."

Caiyu yawned, then lit a cigarette and said softly: "No matter what, you saved my life and you took good care of me for so long. If I don't express it properly, it would be against my teacher." It’s forbearance.”

Hayato glanced at her and said calmly: "Sensei, what is the way of ninja?"

"Grudges must be repaid."

Hearing this, a hint of subtlety flashed in the corners of Hayato's eyes.

"You can't tell, Teacher Iroha, you are still a temperamental person."

Iroha gently blew out a smoke ring.

"That's why I can't join ANBU, sensei."

After speaking calmly, she turned around, signaled Hayato to follow, and then walked in the direction of the commercial street.

Hayato shrugged and followed him a few steps.

When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, the two of them sat opposite each other. After everything was served, Hayato began to fiddle with himself without any intention of provoking a conversation. He obviously regarded the meal as an ordinary way of socializing. Just deal with it casually.

Eat quickly and leave quickly.

Caiyu didn't rush to speak, but waited for the clerk to come over with several bottles of wine, then poured the wine and took a sip.

After a while, an intoxicating blush appeared on her little face.

"It is not the behavior of a gentleman to neglect a lady, young man."

Hayato glanced at her.

"What kind of lady is a guy who smokes and drinks all day long?"

Hearing this, Caiyu was not annoyed at all, but pointedly said: "Ninjas can't be obsessed with appearances, Hayato-kun. If you care too much about appearances, you won't be able to discover what's hidden inside."

Hearing this, Hayato couldn't help but feel thoughtful.

He has long understood this truth. Ninjas cannot just look at appearances, especially in battle. Everyone will use ninjutsu or illusions and other means to deceive the enemy's eyes. Even if they can decipher the enemy's moves, Nor should we take it lightly.

After all, no one stipulates that there must be the truth behind the mask. What is hidden under the mask may be another mask, a mask that takes advantage of human characteristics and is more deceptive.

This elite jounin named Baiyun Caiyu is quite decent as a teacher.

But this lolita's body looks too inconsistent with the combination of tobacco and alcohol.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Caiyu shook the porcelain wine bottle in his hand a few times and said with a chuckle.

"Get a little understanding."

"As ambiguous as ever, Hayato-kun."

Caiyu smiled, not bothering about anything, and then turned to another topic.

"Do you still remember the name 'Jizang'?"

"Is that the elite Jonin who is chasing us?"

"Ah."

After finishing a cigarette, Caiyu pressed down the cigarette butt, then turned his head and looked out the window, as if he was reminiscing about something, his eyes were inexplicably blurred.

"He was once a very outstanding Jounin of Konoha and was highly valued by the top management."

"Then why did he defect?"

Caiyu supported her cheek with one hand, looked sideways at the bustling street outside the window, and slowly talked about Jizo.

Things are not complicated.

Almost two years ago, Yoshizo's only relative, his younger brother Harazou, had an accident while performing a confidential mission. All the teams involved in the mission were wiped out. If the reinforcements from Namikaze Minato hadn't arrived, I'm afraid they would have been killed. Not even the body could be recovered.

Ji Zang, who was extremely grieved, seemed to feel that something was wrong with the mission, and one night he sneaked into the department that sealed the archives.

People who are good at tracking are naturally good at concealment and infiltration, and the same goes for Yoshizo. However, not long after he infiltrated, he was discovered by several members of the Roots commanded by Danzo Shimura. Then, according to the roots, when Yoshizō saw that the matter was exposed, he Take the initiative to attack them.

As a result, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides who both belonged to Konoha.

In the end, Jizo fled in embarrassment and was judged as a traitor to the ninja, and was then hunted down by the Anbu.

At this point, Caiyu stopped. After all, Hayato also knew what happened next, so there was no need to waste words.

"Why are you telling me this?"

After listening, Hayato didn't ask anything about Jizo, but asked about the reason why Iroha told him about this matter.

"It's nothing."

Caiyu shook his head and said calmly: "I just suddenly met a companion who I thought was dead, and he also became an enemy. I felt a little upset, so I suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to."

Tell?

I believe in you.
