Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

Chapter 139 The Eve of War

next day

Early in the morning, Wuxin had just finished practicing swordsmanship in the yard when suddenly a cloud of smoke surged on the courtyard wall. After the white smoke quickly dissipated, an Anbu was squatting on the courtyard wall.

"Wuxin, Lord Mizukage wants to see you, please go immediately!"

"understood."

Wu Xin responded softly, swung his sword and sheathed it. Then he returned to the house, wiped off the sweat, and changed his clothes.

In front of the bathroom sink, Wu Xin in the mirror had long straight black hair draped over her shoulders, delicate eyebrows, slender eyes and a calm face, giving people the impression that she was quite sophisticated.

He was wearing a black tight combat suit with a gray-brown Mist Hidden Vest on the outside, and his outfit was quite conventional.

Wuxin adjusted the forehead protector on his forehead, made sure there was nothing wrong with his appearance, walked out of the room, picked up the long sword placed in the living room and put it on his back, then went out and headed towards the Mizukage Building.

After walking all the way and arriving at the Mizukage Building, Wuxin went directly to the Mizukage's office on the fourth floor and knocked on the door.

Yagura in the Mizukage's office was holding a pen and writing something on the desk. When he heard a knock on the door, he whispered:

"Please come in."

The door opened and a tall young man strode in. Yagura, who was writing the task scroll, looked up and was slightly stunned.

The scene suddenly became awkward. Wuxin touched his nose. He didn't know what Yagura was looking at up and down. He thought that his forehead protector was not placed straight, so he reached out his hand to straighten it.

"You, you, how can you grow so tall?"

After a long silence, Yagura stared and said this.

The last time they met was more than three months ago, when Wuxin returned from the Kingdom of Wind. After reporting his mission, Wuxin followed Yagura's arrangements and cultivated himself and practiced ninjutsu honestly. However, he suddenly grew taller, and Wuxin didn't know what happened.

Mizukage Yagura's words left Wuxin at a loss for what to say for a moment.

"Cough cough..."

Yagura seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate, pretended to cough, and said softly:

"I haven't seen you for a few months. You've changed a lot...

He seems much calmer, and will have no problem leading the team."

"Leading the team?"

Wuxin was a little confused. He thought Yagura was just talking about leading a team. But now, looking at the Mizukage's situation, it seems that he really wants to give himself a team.

Mizukage Yagura nodded and said:

"Good, leading the team."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Yagura cleared his throat and said, "Come in."

The door opened, and two boys less than 1.6 meters tall and a girl who looked less than 1.5 meters tall walked in.

Wuxin stood between them and Mizukage. Seeing someone coming in, Wuxin walked to the side of the office and stood sideways to Mizukage.

"Mizukage-sama!" X3

The three of them bowed and greeted Yagura with a respectful attitude.

Yagura nodded slightly and said softly:

"Kurochu Kiyoya, Kuju Saburo, and Baotian Xuehan, the three of you are forming a temporary team without a mentor, which is not conducive to your growth.

In view of your outstanding performance, I have specially arranged a talented jonin to be your instructor."

"Genius jonin?"

"Could it be?"

The three people reacted differently. Only the young man carrying a large shuriken did not speak. The other two looked confused, and one of them seemed to have a guess.

Wuxin quietly observed the three people who were suspected to be his subordinates, waiting for the Mizukage's arrangements.

Mizukage Yagura said with a smile on his face:

"Yes, it's that genius jonin, Mushin!"

Yagura called Wuxin's name with a slightly heavier tone at the end. Wuxin understood that he was calling him, and replied:

"Are these three the subordinates I am going to lead?"

The three Genin turned their eyes to Wuxin, and quickly looked away. The neurosis and madness of the Kirigakure Jonin were well-known and intimidating in the Land of Water.

Mizukage Yagura smiled and said to Wuxin:

“Yes, Wuxin, they are all excellent ninjas, and they have made outstanding contributions on the battlefield of the Fire Country.

I think their help will be helpful to you in the next mission."

Yagura's words were so gentle that Wuxin had no way of guessing what he was thinking.

The three Genin will be of help to him, but Wuxin doesn't know how the three Genin can help him.

The so-called outstanding achievements in the Fire Nation probably refer to their ability to survive in the harsh environment.

Wu Xin was reluctant to refuse the arrangement made by Mizukage. He was silent for a while and said softly:

"I hope so."

After Yagura finished arranging the team's affairs, his face became a little more serious, and he said in a deep voice:

“Get acquainted with each other as soon as possible, and gather at the village gate at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.

Prepare to join me on an expedition across the sea."

Although Yagura looked serious, he just put away his smile and his words were still light-hearted.

Wu Xin didn't know how he could so easily say such shocking news.

With the war imminent, Wu Xin replied seriously:

"Tomorrow? Yes, sir!"

"Well, let's go."

After the Mizukage finished his instructions, he waved his hand, signaling that they could leave.

Wuxin looked at the three Genin, his sharp eyes swept around, and said in a deep voice:

"Kurochu Kiyoya, Kujitachi Saburo, Baotian Xuehan, follow me."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the office door. The three genins murmured their promises and followed Wuxin's pace.

After Wuxin led the three Genin out of the Mizukage building, he stopped at the door and turned around to look at the three subordinates carefully.

The three Genin's eyes also flashed as they waited for instructions from Wuxin, the famous Mist Ninja.

After taking a quick look, Wuxin took a deep breath and said softly:

"It's not that easy to be my subordinate. Follow me."

After saying that, Wuxin jumped onto the roof tiles of the residential building next to him and ran towards the south of the Hidden Mist Village.

The three Genin immediately followed Wuxin's pace and chased after him.

Wuxin's test was very simple, running towards the southeast corner of the village, but for the three Genin, they didn't know the destination.

The Shuiying Building is not far from the destination, about twelve or thirteen kilometers away.

Wuxin saw that the Genin behind him were following him closely, as if they were full of energy. So he ran faster and used the instant body technique from time to time to distance himself.

Twenty minutes later, the team arrived at the outskirts of the forest in the southeast corner of the Hidden Mist Village.

After running for more than ten kilometers, I was calm and relaxed, but due to the hot weather, there was a little sweat on my forehead.

The three Genin were panting, and the female Genin, Baotian Xuehan, was even lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

After a distance of about ten kilometers, through this test, Wuxin roughly understood the levels of several people.

When Wuxin just graduated, Murayama Yuto tested Wuxin, but he had to run 10 kilometers in 10 minutes. Wuxin brought three ninjas with him, and although he would speed up from time to time, he would deliberately slow down and wait.

Unexpectedly, it took more than 20 minutes to travel just over 10 kilometers, and they all seemed to be running out of energy.

Wu Xin had some idea of ​​their strength, but he didn't show any strange expression. After they had recovered some strength after a few minutes, he spoke softly:

"Kurojue Kiyoya, Kujitachi Saburo, Baotian Xuehan, what are your ideals?"

Wuxin's first communication was different from that of other jonin in Kirigakure. He neither beat them up nor treated them coldly. Instead, he asked about some things that were rarely discussed in Kirigakure.

The three of them were indeed stumped by Wuxin's question. They stared with their eyes wide open, not knowing how to answer.

Baotian Xuehan saw her two companions staring at each other, and she responded first like a quick answer:

"My dream is to become a ninja like you and become famous in the Hidden Mist Village!"

There were little stars in Baotian Xuehan's eyes when she looked at Wuxin, as if she really admired Wuxin very much.

This answer surprised Wuxin a little. He never expected that he actually had fans in the Hidden Mist Village.

Wu Qingxin couldn't help but smile, and nodded slightly to Baotian Xuehan, indicating that he understood. Then he turned his gaze to the other two, waiting for their answers.

Kurochu Kiyoshi was the second to speak:

"I want to be one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, a user of the blunt sword Kabukiri!"

"Yes, I am ambitious."

Wuxin praised softly and looked at Gouju Sanlang.

When Kuju Sanlang saw Wuxin looking at him, he pursed his lips and seemed a little hesitant. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice:

"I want to live in the Hidden Mist Village for a long time."

Wuxin frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Karutagi Saburo's ideals were the same as his own. The problem was Karutagi Saburo's surname. This was the same clan as the Fourth Mizukage Karutagi Yagura.
