[Naruto] The little animals are also full of energy today.

Konoha has put a lot of effort into ninja education, and the real-life internships held every week can help students adapt to their future ninja careers more quickly.

This week's mission is patrolling.

The rotational patrols of ordinary ninjas in Konoha Village and the patrols of the Wood Industry Guards have different focuses.

The security force led by the Uchiha clan focuses more on the security issues within the village, and the rotation of ninjas is to prevent the infiltration of external forces. As for the ninja village, no matter how tight the defense is, there will still be people who slip through the net, forge identity documents, and pretend to be ordinary people to enter the ninja village. Regardless of the purpose of entering the village to explore information, the village should be on guard against them. The school hopes to teach students to observe and develop their ninja sense through patrol training.

Teacher Iruka once again emphasized discipline and precautions at the school gate.

But not many people were listening.

The students are like this. They obviously go home after school every day, but when they are outside the school with the whole class during class time, they can't help but feel excited, and everyone can't wait.

What they have to do is very simple. Each person is responsible for a block, observes the situation in the village, confirms whether there are any abnormalities, and then comes back to report. After returning to the class, they have to learn to write a task report.

Patrol in groups of two, set off to the responsible area on their own, and report back to the assembly point 2 hours later.

Narumi and Shikamaru were in a group, and they were assigned to the block close to the village entrance. Shikamaru stared at the distant village entrance, then looked up at Choji who was in the same group as Ino, and waved his hand tiredly. Naruto was assigned to a group with Hinata and raised his hands excitedly, feeling like he could run the entire field in the next second.

The sun was particularly hot today. The shops near the entrance of the village were far less dense than those in the center. There were not many places where they could hide from the sun. Narumi looked at Shikamaru next to him, he looked like a wilted puppy.

"Let's go, stop over there and drink some water, otherwise you'll get heat stroke."

The two of them walked to the shade of a nearby building, turned off the water and drank.

Mingshi noticed a man wearing a bamboo hat sitting near the wall not far away. He looked like a farmer, wearing gray cloth, with a pole and two baskets in front of him.

His face was hidden in the shadow of the bamboo hat and could not be seen clearly. Narumi drank the water in her hand and looked at him.

Shikamaru tried his best to stay in the shade and away from the direct sunlight. The shadows under the eaves made him take a breath. The shadows were the best. This patrol was really life-threatening. He was already so tired before he became a ninja.

He looked at the girl standing next to him. The hair around her ears was soaked with sweat and was close to her neck. The side of her face was also a hot red, almost blending in with her hair. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped the sweat from her face, and smoothed her hair with her hands. Shikamaru stared at her for a while. She was as bright and dazzling as the sun. He withdrew his gaze and tilted his head.

"Shikamaru-kun, I want to go over and see the man selling things." Narumi observed the people by the wall for a while and then said to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru refused in his heart to go back to the sun again. But after the girl in front finished speaking, she had already walked over there, and he followed her resignedly.

"Ah, what are you selling~"

Narumi's tone was different from usual, which surprised Shikamaru slightly.

However, the girl continued to chat with the farmer wearing a bamboo hat with great interest, and asked about the white mushrooms he was selling in his basket. Taking advantage of the situation, she also bought some for dinner, and asked the person in front of her to remove the stems for her.

Shikamaru watched the man rummaging through the baskets on both sides for bags and knives. This man couldn't even figure out what was in his own basket. Mingshi still had the same smile on his face, calling him uncle sweetly.

She waved goodbye as she took the bag.

The two of them had not finished their patrol, but Narumi's expression suddenly became serious after she led Shikamaru into the alley. She put away her sweet smile in front of others and said to Shikamaru in a low voice and calmly, "There is something wrong with that person. "

Shikamaru looked at her sideways, and they both quickened their pace and came to the corner.

After confirming that no one was nearby, Mingshi said, "Judging from the attire, he is indeed the same as a farmer. There is nothing special about the gray cloth. But in weather like this, ordinary farmers will put a towel on their shoulders while working. , but he just let the sweat drip. The towel on the shoulder can not only wipe the sweat, but also prevent the shoulder pole from wearing on his clothes and shoulders. And if you look at his face, you can see a slight layer on the bridge of his nose. Half of the face is darker than the lower half of the face. He must have worn a mask or something to cover the lower half of the face before, so the skin color is obviously layered. There are obviously thicker calluses on the tiger's mouth of the hands, which can only be used except for hoeing. It’s the wear marks caused by weapons like swords and kunai.”

The more Shikamaru listened, the more his brows furrowed.

"Also, he probably had no idea what was in his basket. He basically rummaged through two baskets to find bags and knives." He continued, recalling his observations.

"Exactly, not only is the price not up to par, this kind of white mushroom is also different from ordinary mushrooms. The stem does not need to be removed entirely, just cut off some roots. As a farmer who grows and sells white mushrooms, he has no idea about this at all. , there must be something wrong with the identity.”

The first thing Naomi noticed about the person next to the wall was actually because she felt the chakra of the person opposite. A person dressed as an ordinary farmer had such chakra. Coupled with his clothes, his behavior was full of loopholes.

Shikamaru's observation skills are also very good. After hearing her raise her head, he immediately realized the problem.

After discussion, the two decided that Narumi would stay and continue to observe the man from a distance, and Shikamaru went back to report.

"Don't act alone." When Shikamaru turned around, he frowned and couldn't help but add one more sentence.

Mingshi looked at him and nodded to reassure him.

She turned to the other side of the road, not sure what type of ninja the other party was, so she didn't dare to get too close. She walked into a bookstore, held a magazine and stood in a position where she could see the people next to the wall with her peripheral vision.

Is he really a spy from the enemy country?

When Shikamaru found Mr. Iruka, he was talking to an old man sitting under a tree not far away.

The old man was about seventy years old, but he looked energetic. His silver hair was tied into a high ponytail, and his eyes seemed to be shining with light.

Iruka-sensei saw him coming, and immediately bowed to the old man and walked over. Shikamaru stated his findings in the most concise words, and did not notice the corners of Iruka-sensei's mouth that he forcibly suppressed.

On Narumi's side, while she was still observing the people by the wall, she suddenly sensed Naruto's chakra. It shouldn't be, he was not patrolling this area.

"Naruto-kun, this is not a place for us to patrol." Hinata, who was following him, timidly advised, her face as red as the cooked autumn crab paste.

"It's okay. Isn't there a saying that those who are capable do more things? I have visited other places, so naturally I want to help share more."

That's a lot of work for those who can do it, Naruto-kun. Hinata couldn't stop Naruto in front of her, so she could only go with him.

"Huh? Uncle, why don't you hide in the shade on such a hot day? You can get more sunshine." Naruto suddenly saw the farmer uncle by the wall and walked towards him.

Mingshi silently moved to the door of the store, but did not step forward immediately, but just watched calmly.

She knew that Naruto and she were actually accompanied by someone, an ANBU from the village.

The person who follows her is not there 24/24 and only follows her when she leaves the room and goes outside. And the ANBU around Naruto are following him hours a day.

This is also easy to understand. Naruto's identity is special. These ANBU members have never shown up, so they should only take action when they encounter a real crisis.

Narumi was born with sensitive chakra perception. According to the notes left by his mother, the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan, in addition to their obvious red hair, also have chakra-related abilities. One of the basic abilities is chakra perception. Although this ability is not as precise as other eye powers such as Byakugan, it does not consume chakra and can actively sense it. It is already a very popular ability for ninjas.

Since there were ANBU following Naruto, she didn't move forward. If the ANBU couldn't handle it, she definitely wouldn't be able to do it.

Naruto here has already launched a hundred thousand attacks on the farmer uncle.

Uncle, are you a farmer?

Uncle, what's in your basket?

Uncle, is it because the basket is too heavy that you can't go to a shady place?

Don't worry I'll lift it for you.

We are Ninja Patrol students. Uncle, what else do you sell besides mushrooms?

Uncle, where are you from?

Uncle, what are you talking about?

Mingshi rubbed his forehead, feeling a little sympathetic to the "spy" uncle.

Naruto surrounded him like a passionate golden retriever with blue eyes.

Iruka-sensei's reminder before the patrol to stay alert and awake was all forgotten.

She could feel her uncle's helpless expression from far away.

Fortunately, Mr. Iruka rushed to the scene and held the runaway dog.

He took Naruto by the collar and threw him back to his own area. He was very unconvinced and kept saying that he was helpful. Narumi also saw Shikamaru's nod at this time.

Shikamaru told her that Mr. Iruka had already reported their findings, and that the rest of the matter would be solved by real patrolling ninjas, so they didn't have to worry.

After returning to class, each task team sat together to write a report. After Shikamaru sighed nearly a hundred times, Narumi had already put down the pen in his hand.

Iruka in the office was looking through the patrol reports submitted by the students with other teachers.

The old man Shikamaru saw yesterday was among them, with them.

"I didn't expect you to come in person for today's lecture. This is really an excellent learning opportunity for the students." Iruka was actually a little tangled in his heart. Although it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students to be taught by this person, at the same time, there is no telling what unpredictable results there will be...
