Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

The moonlight shines on Wuxin's yard. Wuxin holds a scroll in his hand and sits on the roof of his house, looking at the moon. The moon in winter also waxes and wanes.

Wu Xin looked unhappy, and with the help of the moonlight, he looked down at the scroll in his hand.

"The mission targets, Mai Kizuna, Kaguya Takema, and Xuelan, are all ninjas from the Land of Water. Considering the style of the Third Mizukage, I can understand.

But why is even Murayama Yuto's name on it?"

Wuxin looked at the last name on the scroll, unable to understand it, and at the same time he also realized the struggle of the Hidden Mist Village.

He was only a Chunin, and originally thought that the captain of the Jonin squad, Yagura Karatachi, was the next Mizukage appointed by the Third Hokage. Unexpectedly, in such a mission, the Third Hokage would not only eliminate the clan ninjas, but also the veteran Jonin of the village.

This veteran jonin is one of Karatachi Yagura's staunch supporters and also Wuxin's teacher.

"Lord Yagura, you thought the blood mist was about to end, but in fact, I'm afraid it will take a long time..."

Wuxin thought of the conversation with Goji Yagura some time ago, and the longing in his eyes, the young man who wanted to turn the blood mist into a paradise.

Since receiving this mission, I have come to realize some of the intricacies of the relationship between Karatachi Yagura and the Third Mizukage.

Although Yagura was determined to change the blood mist, he was still a little naive, which Wuxin could sense. After all, the Third Mizukage did not reject the advice, which did not mean that he would agree.

"The Sandaime was certain that I would be happy to do it. How did he know that I wanted to kill Mai Kizuna?"

Wuxin recalled the scene when he faced the Third Mizukage. He felt confused and didn't understand the Mizukage's confident tone at that time.

"In the Hidden Mist Village, ninjas are tools, and teammates are consumables to complete missions. Teammates compete and exploit each other. I'm afraid there are very few who have good relationships."

Wuxin thought about it again, and felt that he seemed to vaguely understand why the Third Mizukage was so sure that he had the intention to kill his teammates, and why he had no psychological pressure to carry out the task of killing his teammates, and was even happy to do so.

In the cold winter, snowflakes gradually fell from the sky.

“It’s snowing…?”

Wuxin stretched out his palm, snowflakes fell on his hand, melting quickly, becoming cold and icy.

Wuxin stayed on the roof of the house for a long time. Although there were snowflakes all over the sky, it had no effect on the strong ninja who could use chakra.

Wuxin closed the task scroll. Regarding this task and the future, Wuxin didn’t know what to do.

Murayama Yuto can be regarded as Wuxin's only bond in the Hidden Mist Village. He feels deep resistance, anxiety and confusion towards this mission.

Wuxin thought for a while, sighed, put the scroll into his arms, and took out the two ninjutsu scrolls given by the Third Mizukage.

A B-level illusion technique used by a jonin, and an A-level water-style ninjutsu of ultimate skill level.

Wuxin opened the illusion scroll and read it. After reading it for a while, he closed it again in annoyance. He opened another water escape ninjutsu scroll and read it for a while, but he still couldn't calm down.

Wuxin was in an unstable state of mind and unable to concentrate on his studies. He roughly put the two ninjutsu scrolls away at random, and things about his own exclusive mission emerged in his mind again.

Wuxin, who had been raging at the scroll, suddenly brightened up his eyes and stopped moving.

“I’m just a Chunin… I have no problem killing Mai Kizuna, Kaguya Takerama, and Xue Lan.

But at the same time, I'm just a Chunin and no match for the veteran Jonin. Isn't that normal?

Could it be possible that someone could really defeat a veteran jonin with just two scrolls of advanced ninjutsu that he had studied on his own without anyone teaching him?

I'll eliminate those three mission targets. I'm not strong enough to kill the last one, so won't the mission fail?

I have completed more than half of it, but I cannot complete the last part. This is understandable, right?"

Wuxin thought about it and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. His anxious brows relaxed and he took a deep breath.

It is a task that the leader has assigned to me and that I cannot refuse. I have to do it, but I can do it well.

"To show my efforts and dedication, I will definitely offer the heads of the other three, especially Mai Kizuna."

Wuxin's anxiety disappeared immediately after he had a plan. He felt relieved. He folded the scroll neatly and put it away. Then he jumped down from the roof, returned to the bedroom, climbed onto the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.

next day

In front of the main gate of the Hidden Mist Village, teams of ninja would occasionally leave the village to carry out their missions.

Many ninja teams gathered near the village gate, exchanging tactics.

Wuxin's team of four was not far from the village gate. Shuilian, Guideng Mai, and Shanshang Caizhi were in a row. Wuxin was standing in front, explaining something.

Suiren, Mai Kizuna, and Yamagami Saiori are all taller than Wuxin. All three of them are two grades taller than Wuxin, but Wuxin is the captain of the Chunin, so they can only respectfully obey Wuxin's orders.

"Yamagami Aori is studying at the Kirigakure Hospital and has mastered a lot of medical ninjutsu and the use of poison. Suiren, Mai, your main task during the mission is to protect Yamagami Aori."

This was Wuxin’s first time going on a mission as team leader, and his boss was still his old boss, Murayama Yuto. Except for the fact that the team was a little bigger, everything else was normal.

"Don't worry, Captain. We are from the same class as Saiori, and we have carried out several low-level missions together in the past two months. We are familiar with each other. As for you, you disappeared after being promoted to Chunin."

Suiren smiled. After all, it was obvious who was more stressed, facing the younger Wuxin or the adult Murayama Yuto. In addition, Suiren participated in the Chunin Exam with Wuxin and received Wuxin's help. Although Suiren had a little more respect for Wuxin, they had also experienced several missions together and were very familiar with each other.

"Understood. I will protect Caizhi and fulfill my responsibilities as a teammate."

When facing Wuxin, Mai Kizuna became much more honest, calm and gentle.

The fact that Mushin easily defeated the genius of the Terumi clan in the Junin exam was a big shock to Mai Hozuki, and made her realize the gap between herself and Mushin.

Although Mai Hozuki thought that she had no intention of killing herself, it was a very stupid thing to offend a ninja who was obviously very powerful.

Although there were some minor frictions in the past, they had never attacked each other. Mai Kizuna knew that her relationship with Wuxin was average, and as long as she behaved herself, Wuxin would not deliberately bully her.

"I won't be a burden, please rest assured!"

Yamagami Caizhi has dark purple hair, green eyes, and some freckles on her face, but her facial features are still pretty and her smile is warm.

This made Wuxin wonder how she passed the Ninja School graduation exam.

"The commander is here, let's go!"

The sharp-eyed Wuxin saw Yuto Murayama coming to the square with four ninjas. He greeted the three people and walked towards Yuto Murayama's team. Another four-man team not far away also approached Yuto Murayama.

The twelve ninja teams gathered beside Murayama Yuto. Murayama Yuto glanced at his subordinates and said coldly to a female Genin in the team:

"Why don't you have your bag?"

"I am good at spiritualism. My luggage is prepared in a scroll and can be summoned at any time."

The female Genin was stared at by the cold Murayama Yuto, her face turned pale instantly, and she answered nervously.

"Master Yuto, Eri Mihara is the support of my team and is an expert in psychic summoning."

The vest Chunin Kaguya Takema, who was in front of the female Genin, added softly.

At this moment, Murayama Yuto was even more cruel than Wuxin remembered when he was serious during previous missions.

It may be because his child was just born and his wife and child need his care, so he pays special attention to details and does not want to fail during the mission.

Wu Xin faced his mission target with a natural expression. He just glanced at Kaguya Takema and Xue Lan in the team, comparing their faces with the photos in his mind.

Confirmed.
