Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

"idea"

What else can you think of? Just copy the guy up the mountain and fight with it.

Bai Mingyu looked at Xiangquan. The girl lowered her head and thought seriously for a while, and then slowly said: "According to Uncle Kaina, this monster has no fixed whereabouts, but wanders around the mountain. But once someone goes up the mountain and is encountered by it, , will encounter a brutal culling. Perhaps we can use this to draw out the monster and then eliminate it."

Nara Shikaku nodded lightly: "That's good, but we still need to formulate a more detailed action plan. Bai Yu, do you have anything else to add?"

"No, I think Quan's idea is good."

"Forget about taking the roots."

Aburame's face was expressionless, and she didn't know if she heard the conversation between several people. She remained silent from beginning to end, as if she was an outsider.

Plans were quickly finalized.

That night, after dinner at the village chief's house, Bai Mingyu and others began to pack their things and go up the mountain.

Although the monster's whereabouts are uncertain, its activity area can be roughly deduced from the previous places where several villagers and wandering ninjas were killed.

Led by two strong hunters in the village, the four people quickly went up the mountain and came to a forest.

"Just here."

Nara Shikaku observed the surrounding terrain, then turned around and said to Bai Mingyu and the others: "Torine and I will go to the nearby area to investigate. Baiyu, Izumi, you two will light the fire first. You will sleep in this forest tonight." .”

No one knows when the monster will appear. Sleeping in the forest and waiting is also part of the plan.

If you're lucky, you might be able to see the monster tonight.

But if you are not lucky, it is possible to stay here for three to five days.

"Good teacher."

Bai Mingyu and Uchiha Izumi responded, Nara Shikaku took Aburame to get the root, and soon disappeared into the overlapping shadows of the trees.

A bonfire burned in this clearing, and the dancing flames licked the wood, making a crackling sound.

Bai Mingyu and Quan started to set up the tent.

Survival in the wild is a compulsory course in the Ninja School. When Bai Mingyu and Izumi were in school, their scores in this course were not low. He quickly set up the tent, dug some edible wild vegetables from around, and carried it with him. I rinsed the water bag, put it in the iron pot rack and boiled it on the campfire.

"Uncles, if you don't mind, please come over and warm yourself over the fire. There is also fresh vegetable soup. Drinking it will make you feel better."

Bai Mingyu and Quan added firewood to the bonfire, watched the fire burn brighter and brighter, and turned around to greet the two hunters.

The two men looked at each other, walked over and sat down cross-legged.

One of them took out dry food and dried meat from the package beside him and pushed it forward: "Brother, and this little girl, we also have some food here, which is dried meat marinated in the village. , the taste may not be very good, but there is nothing wrong with filling your stomach.”

"Thanks."

Bai Mingyu took the dried meat and divided a few pieces into Quan's hand.

It tastes a little dry in the mouth, almost like air-dried bacon.

These hunters are all ordinary people.

Although they have honed their skills by hunting in the mountains all year round, compared to other ordinary villagers, they are no different from ordinary people in the face of ferocious beasts.

Sitting by the campfire, the two of them looked around from time to time, worry evident on their faces.

"Don't worry, if the monster does appear, Quan and I will ensure your safety."

"Yes, really?" Orion forced a smile, his tone a little weak.

Suddenly, the bushes not far away made a rustling sound.

The two hunters were startled, and Bai Mingyu and Quan immediately tensed up their nerves. When they turned around to look, they had already touched the kunai in the ninja bag.

Soon, two figures came out from behind the bushes, and they were Nara Shikaku and Aburame Torigen who went to investigate.

Nara Shikaku was holding a simple map in his hand and was reading it while walking, while Aburame Tori was carrying two hares and threw them on the ground expressionlessly. He said in a stiff tone: "This is Shikaku and I." You guys can handle the prey that the teacher just caught."

After speaking calmly, Aburame walked over to the nearby tree stump and sat down. She put the bag of groceries aside and ignored the movement around her.

""

The silence of mystery.

Bai Mingyu and Quan looked at each other.

Although they have formed a team in name, in fact, the gap is obvious. Even if they try to ease the relationship with Aburame Tune, they can't find a chance to talk. But Aburame Takegen was more interested in bugs than them. She would rather sit there alone and watch the ants climb the tree than come and sit with other people and chat.

"Hehehe, Brother Togen is indeed very powerful. He caught these two hares without even using his shuriken."

Bai Mingyu tried to warm up the scene.

There were no wounds or bloodstains on the two hares. It looked like they had been knocked unconscious by the back of the knife. Being able to do this would definitely require good skills and reflexes.

Aburame Togen looked up, then lowered her head again: "It's just a coincidence."

Well, it seems that this guy is not entirely lacking in presence, to be precise, he also has some personality flaws. Probably because he stayed at the root for a long time and was brainwashed by Danzo day and night, he has lost many normal human emotions and turned into a machine focused on performing tasks, just like Sai in the future.

Bai Mingyu used his kunai to cut open the hare's fur.

Remove the hair, take out the internal organs, clean the abdominal cavity, sprinkle some seasonings on it, and put it on the bonfire with wooden sticks.

The aroma of barbecue gradually spreads out.

After several people shared the roasted rabbit meat, the sky turned completely dark, the bonfire was cleaned up, and Nara Shikaku began to arrange the vigil.

They were working in pairs, with Haku Mingyu and Aburame taking care of the roots in the first half of the night, and Nara Shikaku and Izumi in the second half of the night.

After giving some instructions, Nara Shikaku also entered the tent.

The snoring gradually began, and the woods became quiet again, with only the crackling sound of the bonfire burning.

"Brother Geogen, do you know anything about the goal of our mission?"

Still idle, Bai Mingyu turned back to talk to Aburame.

Until now, he has not completely let go of his vigilance about Aburame's roots. After all, this guy was sent by Danzo, and he might have some unknown purpose. Although he has found out something related to the roots from him. The information is not very realistic, but if you talk a few more words, you can find some clues.

Faced with Bai Mingyu's inquiry, Aburame Togen remained silent for a while. "Didn't Mr. Shikaku explain the mission in detail?"

"That's what I said, but I heard that Brother Togen, you are a ninja who is very good at collecting and analyzing information. You should know more than that."

""

Aburame didn't answer the question.

Bai Mingyu shrugged, knowing that asking further questions would be fruitless, so he wisely closed his mouth.

Suddenly, his ears twitched.

He seemed to hear some kind of sound, and suddenly turned his head to look somewhere in the woods, and caught a faint light flashing through the trees, like a fleeting will-o'-the-wisp.

"That is"

"I gonna go see."

Aburame stood up and drew a long knife from her back as she walked.

"You stay here. If something goes wrong, wake up Mr. Shikaku and the others immediately."

This was the first time Bai Mingyu heard a complete sentence from him since joining the team.

After saying that, without waiting for Bai Mingyu to respond, Aburame Takegen walked forward quickly, away from the area where the tent and campfire were.
