Konoha: The Birth of the Ninja Clan.

"Ding!" Yuda blocked the oncoming katana with his kunai. He quickly dwarfed and curled up into the arms of the big man who had the door wide open. He waved his arm lightly, and the kunai moved upwards, wiping away the big man's throat. .

Regardless of the frightened look in the big man's eyes, his body flashed again, and the kunai stabbed into the back of another enemy who was fighting Akano.

"Phew... saved!"

Akano looked at the enemy who had looked so fierce just now, but now he fell to the ground motionless, and felt lucky in his heart. If Yuda had been a little later, he would be the one who fell to the ground.

Akano breathed a huge sigh of relief. The tension and exhaustion from the battle just now made his injured body unable to support it anymore, and he collapsed directly on the ground. The red hedgehog's head was soaked with sweat and drooped listlessly on his head, covering his forehead protector.

After lying on the ground and resting for a while, he turned to a girl with short blond hair standing not far away and shouted: "Xiko, come and bandage me, I'm injured."

"Oh! I'm sorry, I was distracted." Kiko was startled when she heard Akano's cry. After coming back to her senses, she quickly apologized to Akano and quickly ran to him to bandage his wound.

Kiko is a medical ninja, but as a civilian, apart from the most basic three-body technique taught in school, she has good chakra control ability. She doesn't even have the opportunity to learn the most basic hemostasis technique of a medical ninja, so she can only deal with it simply. A bit of trauma. At the same time, her soft personality makes her combat effectiveness very poor, and she is almost useless to this team.

After helping Akano take care of the wound, Kiko looked at Yuda whose figure kept flashing over there with a worried look.

Every time Yuda appeared, an enemy would fall, and a killing turned into a dance performance. Yuda was like an elf jumping on the battlefield, but he was playing a death march.

"Will Yuda-kun be okay?"

Although the enemy was almost collapsed by Yuda, Kiko still asked with a worried look.

"Don't worry, Yuda is also very strong. But where is Suzuki-sensei now? Huh! Let us do our own tasks. It's good that he is hiding away somewhere."

Akano wasn't worried about Yuda's safety at all. They have been in the team together for almost a year, and he knows Yuda's strength better than anyone else. A group of bandits can't hurt Yuda.

It's just that he was a little unhappy with Suzuki who didn't know where he was hiding. When a team is doing a task, the instructor disappears and the students are left to complete the task on their own.

As the last enemy fell, Yuda observed the surroundings vigilantly. After finding that there were no remaining enemies, he took back the kunai and walked towards Akano and Kiko.

Seeing a young man with silvery hair, wearing gray clothes and a calm face walking towards him, the smile on his face made people feel very reassured.

Seeing that there was no blood on Yuda's body, even though it was not the first time, the two of them couldn't help but exclaimed: So strong!

Looking at the two stunned teammates, Yuda said gently: "Okay, the mission is completed. It's time to meet Mr. Suzuki."

As he spoke, he bent down, helped up the injured Akano, and nodded to Kiko beside him, "Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuda and Akano jumped onto the tree next to them and quickly ran towards the meeting place.

"Oh!"

Seeing Yuda supporting Akano's back, Kiko whispered softly: "Yuda-kun is also very gentle!" After speaking, she hurriedly followed.

……

When the three of them arrived at the meeting place, they saw Suzuki, who had long black hair and was wearing a jounin vest, holding a straw in his mouth and resting leisurely on a tree with his legs crossed. Akano couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at him:

"Teacher Suzuki, you are resting here while your students are fighting the enemy. Are you feeling guilty? Look at how injured I am!"

"Ah...haha! What...?"

Seeing Akano getting angry and Kiko bulging her cheeks and staring at him, Mr. Suzuki jumped down from the tree, embarrassed and wanted to defend himself.

But Yuda noticed that there was a blood stain on the wrist exposed by Suzuki's cuffs, and the soles of his shoes were also cut with a sharp weapon.

"It seems that you still don't know what happened!" Yuda narrowed his eyes and did not expose Suzuki's behavior. Don't ask if you don't know what you shouldn't know.

Suzuki first saw Yuda squinting and smiling at the side, and knew that the task was completed smoothly. Then he said nonchalantly,

"Don't worry about Sa, the mission was completed very well."

Seeing what Akano wanted to say, Mr. Suzuki waved his hand and said with an upright face: "Okay, now that the task has been completed, let's go back to the village to hand in the task. After that, the teacher will treat you to barbecue."

Hearing that someone was inviting guests to a barbecue, Dalieli Akano immediately forgot about his unhappiness just now. He immediately urged: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly, otherwise the barbecue restaurant will be closed if it's too late."

After saying that, regardless of his injuries, he ran directly towards the road leading to the village.

Looking at the carefree Akano, Yuda looked envious. This free and easy attitude can make people live happier. But thinking about his own situation, Yuda could only look forward to it in his heart.

Yuda and Suzuki-sensei followed Akano and Kiko slowly. Listening to Kiko's urgent cry and Akano's scream, Yuda couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that he, a usually calm student, seemed to be in a good mood at this time, Suzuki bit the straw in his mouth several times and said with a surprised look on his face: "So you also have happy moments?"

Hearing his teacher's words, Yuda quickly put away the smile at the corner of his mouth and put on his usual squinting smile expression again.

"Okay, okay, put away that hypocritical expression of yours! I looked at Zhifa Mao."

Yuda turned around and said gently to Suzuki: "No! At least my classmates say I'm quite gentle."

"That's because they have little experience and are easy to deceive. You see, the adults now don't feel frightened when they see your expression. Even the third generation of adults at the time refused to accept you as a disciple because of your expression."

Mr. Suzuki said angrily.

well! It seems that my acting skills are not enough! In order to leave a good impression on the people around him, Yuda worked hard to imitate Ichiganmaru's smile. But now it seems that by doing this, in addition to being more defensive about ourselves, we can only deceive those students who are not deeply involved in the world.

But Yuda has no intention of changing this. Otherwise, if he changes it now, wouldn't it just prove that he was not sincere before?

After driving for a while, Yuda suddenly asked Suzuki a question: "Teacher Suzuki, why didn't you tell Akano and Kiko the real situation just now? Aren't you afraid that they will resent you if you continue like this?"

"Ah? What should you tell them?" Suzuki stopped and asked with confusion on his face.

"Don't pretend to be stupid! Did you meet the enemy just now? The enemy's strength should not be weak. Otherwise, with Mr. Suzuki's strength, he wouldn't have time to clean up the traces on his body."

"Sa! Who knows? But you little brat is so unlovable."

Seeing that the lie was exposed, Suzuki didn't care. He knew that it would be difficult to hide this from the mature and shameless student in front of him.

Seeing that Suzuki didn't intend to clarify, Yuda seemed to be justifying his behavior.

"So each of us must prepare a mask for ourselves, because we have to face too many falsehoods every day. Lies, illusions, deception, etc., if it is too real, it is easy to die."

After hearing Yuda's words, Suzuki fell silent. When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we didn't come back to our senses. It wasn't until it was time to register that we muttered in a low voice: "That's fine."

After returning to Konoha, as the leader of the team, Suzuki first went to report the mission status to the Hokage. Yuda and the others had nothing to do. After making an appointment with Suzuki, the three of them went to the barbecue restaurant to wait for him.

"Hey! Yuda, did you just come back from a mission?"

When they arrived at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, before they even entered, the three of them heard someone asking them something behind them.

Looking back, it turned out to be Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade. Seeing how they were running over in a hurry, were they also planning to have a dinner at a barbecue restaurant?

Jiraiya and the other three ran up and stopped in front of them, holding their knees and taking a few breaths.

Seeing their hurry, Kiko said kindly: "There's no need to be in such a hurry to eat!"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the faces of Jiraiya and the other three after hearing this, and then Orochimaru stood helplessly behind Jiraiya and Tsunade, winking at Yuda and the others.

"Yes! Jiraiya, we left the village this time and even killed people!" Akano didn't wait for Yuda to answer and showed off to his friends first, completely unaware of Orochimaru's strangeness.

"Damn it, the damn third-generation old man said that we were too young and wouldn't let us carry out the mission out of the village. Otherwise, I would have killed many people."

Tsunade was filled with envy after hearing Akano's show off, and the embarrassed expression disappeared from her face, and she said unhappily. However, she directly put the blame for not being able to complete the mission of leaving the village on the third generation.

Sandaime: Before Danzo took the blame for me, I had already started taking the blame.

Danzo: Can that be the same?

Several people entered the barbecue restaurant noisily. Orochimaru hesitated outside for a while, then gritted his teeth and followed in. The head of the land noticed something unusual about him and cast a questioning look. Orochimaru just smiled awkwardly at him and said nothing.

After everyone was seated, they didn't discuss who would pay the bill later. Everyone ordered a plate of meat and started eating without hesitation.

There seems to be no hope of signing that Pirates fan book, so I might as well take the time to re-open it, so as not to waste time in applying when the time comes.
