Naruto: Hundred Flowers Niandi

Northwest border, temporary medical camp.

"Shikaku, you don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault." Akimichi Tingzao's whole chest was covered with bandages, and he was lying on the wooden bed. His face was a little pale, but he still grinned, smiling and comforting, standing aside. A worried Nara Shikaku said: "And this is just a minor injury. I will recover soon."

"Ding Zao, have a good rest and stop talking." Yamanaka Haiichi gently pressed Akimichi Ding Zao's shoulder and asked him to lie down, then patted Nara Shikaku's shoulder: "Ding Zao is right, that battle happened Suddenly, the Iwa Ninja took advantage of the situation again, it is not a problem of your command."

"You don't need to comfort me. I made a mistake in my command because I didn't fully consider all the situations." Nara Shikaku shook his head and gave the two of them a reassuring look: "However, I won't be depressed just yet. I'm just worried about what's next. battlefield situation.”

Although it can't be said that they are retreating, the current situation is indeed not optimistic. Thinking of this, Yamanaka Haiichi also fell silent.

"It's been a day. The village's support should be arriving soon." On the side, Aburame Zhiwei, half of her face hidden behind her collar, suddenly spoke.

"We can't just count on support, we must also prepare adequate responses," Nara Shikaku said solemnly: "Investigation and alert work is the top priority. You can't keep an eye on them 24 hours a day. Zhiwei, please pay more attention to this aspect."

"Yes, I know."

In order to recuperate in Akimichi Dingza's quiet environment, several people left the medical camp.

Aburame Shimi went to keep an eye on the security mission, while Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Kaiichi planned to return to the camp at the command center to study the next countermeasures and inspect the situation of the ninjas along the way.

The ninjas were obviously a little depressed after the continuous battles, which resulted in a lot of casualties. There was an atmosphere called depression lingering in the entire camp.

Morale is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it does affect the status of the entire team.

If you are timid before fighting, you will already lose half the battle without fighting.

In this regard, Nara Shikaku didn't have any good solutions. No matter how wonderful his morale-boosting words were, they all seemed a little feeble in the face of several defeats.

I just hope that the upcoming reinforcements can give the ninjas a shot in the arm.

However, everything has exceptions, and so do people.

There is a kind of person who will never be knocked down by failure and setbacks.Every failure will only make them face the next challenge with higher morale.

We generally call this kind of person who is persevering and always moving forward.

"Hot-blooded Idiot"

For example, at this time, a passionate fool who was doing daily exercises with high morale fully proved this point.

"220 one, 220 two, 220 three" A green watermelon head was hanging upside down on a thick branch doing sit-ups, and the slogans in his mouth always exuded the taste of blood.

"Akai, you are still so diligent." Nara Shikaku, who saw this scene from a distance, walked up with a smile.

In the upside-down view of "Teacher Shikaku", the former leader of the team walked over. Metkai's legs loosened, he turned 180 degrees in the air, and landed firmly on the ground.

"Shikaku-senpai Haiichi-senpai" Seeing this, Shiranui Genma and Yamashiro Aoba under the tree also stood up quickly and bowed respectfully.

After all, in addition to being a Jonin, Nara Shikaku also has the status of commander-in-chief. In addition, the two do not have a teacher-student relationship like Metkai, so the proper etiquette must be in place.

"You don't need to be so formal," Nara Shikaku waved his hand, looked at Metkai who was sweating, and smiled: "Diligence is a good thing, but you must also have a degree of restraint. This is the front line after all, and Iwa Ninja may attack at any time. , maintaining physical strength is very important, Akai."

"Yes" Matkai quickly stood at attention and said yes.

The next second, he scratched his head again and said seriously in a low voice: "But, as an eternal rival, Zhenyi is already ahead, so I need to work harder."

"It's up to you, but you have to be careful." Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Kai looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Seeing that the two of them were about to turn around and leave, Shiranui Genma hesitated, took the Senbon away from his mouth, and asked: "Shikaku-senpai, you said before that our captain left alone to perform a mission, and it has been almost half a month now. I don’t know when she will come back.”

"As you know, our team has just been formed, and the captain disappeared. This is a bit strange." Yamashiro Aoba, who has always been a bit introverted, also whispered in agreement.

"Yes, Teacher Shikaku, what on earth did Mayi do? I haven't seen her for so long." Metkai also came to his senses and stepped forward to ask.

"This," Nara Shikaku pondered for a few seconds, then said in an inexplicable tone: "If nothing unexpected happens, you should see her within the next few days."

"In the past few days" the three of them looked at each other, a little confused.

"Do you miss your good student?" Back at the command camp, Yamanaka Haiichi suddenly laughed and joked. When he mentioned that little girl, he would think of Nara Shikaku's deflated look. That look, if he thinks about it carefully, Haven’t seen it for a while.

"You are envious again, aren't you?" Looking at his friend's unscrupulous smile, Nara Shikaku retorted decisively: "Such a talented student, not just anyone can be her teacher."

"Ha, you win." Yamanaka Hai waved his hand to indicate defeat, and then said seriously: "Do you think Mayi will be on the support list?"

"It's not hard to guess, isn't it?" Nara Shikaku opened the map on the table and said while checking it: "This is not the first time. With Mashi's thunder escape skills alone, if there are no accidents, she will be sent there sooner or later. It’s the battlefield on Iwagakure’s side.”

"As for the previous mission, it should be almost completed." Noticing his friend's hesitant expression, Nara Shikaku continued.

"Let me tell you, as a teacher, aren't you afraid of something happening to her?" Yamanaka Haiichi hesitated for a moment, then spoke frankly.

"I don't know why." Nara Shikaku put down the pen when he heard this, and said in an inexplicable tone: "Mai always gives me a very reliable feeling."

"It's a bit funny, isn't it?" Nara Shikaku looked at Yamanaka Haiichi and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "I can actually feel a sense of reliability from a little girl who is not yet 11 years old."

"But, there's nothing I can do about it," Nara Shikaku spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Perhaps it's because of her many near-miraculous victories that always make me feel like I'm already old when I'm still young."

"" Yamanaka Hai looked at Nara Shikaku with a wry smile expressionlessly for a long time.

"You guys, you are just showing off after all."
