Naruto: Hundred Flowers Niandi

One inside the house and one at the door.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

As if there is something intangible and insubstantial,

Passed back and forth between the two pairs of eyes.

“What a fun kid”

Ten seconds later, Orochimaru grinned, stretched out his inhumanly long tongue and licked his lips, his golden snake eyes flashing with surprise.

"Sure enough, illusion was used."

The subtle chakra fluctuations in the perception clearly showed the small movements Orochimaru made while looking at each other. Chiba Mai, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally would not be affected by a simple illusion that confuses the mind. For a few seconds, her expression remained unchanged, looking at Orochimaru's golden snake eyes without any fluctuation in her heart.

Seeing that Orochimaru gave up the intention of continuing to perform the technique and broke the inexplicable silence that filled the air with his voice, Chiba Mai put down his guard and dispersed the natural energy in his body that had been disrupting the chakra fluctuations. Orochimaru lowered his head and saluted: "Special jounin Chiba Mayi has been ordered to report."

"Oh, is he already a special Jonin?" Orochimaru was a little surprised. He turned around and carefully looked at the kid in front of him again. His low voice had his unique hoarseness and dryness: "He is indeed a surprising one. Brat."

Facing Orochimaru's praise, Chiba Mai didn't respond at all. She just stood there quietly, with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy.

Orochimaru didn't have any unnecessary reaction to Chiba Mai's slightly rude performance. He just lowered his head and continued to look at the map on the table, as if he hadn't said anything a few seconds ago.

After a while, Chiba Mai, who had been waiting for the arrangement, began to wonder if she had been forgotten. Orochimaru suddenly tapped on the map, with a hint of expectant smile in his hoarse voice:

"Then, let me take a good look at your talents for this mission, Chiba Mayi."

Half a day later, night fell. Under the cover of darkness, a team of eight people left the southwest border post, crossed the border, and entered the territory of Kawa no Kuni.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Sand Ninja secret sentry they might encounter, the eight of them remained silent all the way and hurried on quickly and cautiously.

Along the way, Qianba Zhenyi felt a little uncomfortable. She could clearly feel the different looks from the other seven Ruoyouruowu, and the silent silence amplified this uncomfortable feeling invisibly. .

Although she was helpless about this, there was nothing she could do.

Because Chiba Mayi knew in her heart that it was normal for the seven people to react like this.

The only one to blame was Orochimaru. I don't know what his nerves were. When the eight people gathered to arrange the operation mission in the afternoon, he suddenly announced that she would be the captain of the operation.

As soon as Orochimaru said this, eight people, including Chiba Mayi, all wondered if they heard it wrong.

When seeing Orochimaru's expression that showed no hint of joking, Chiba Mayi looked confused, while the other seven looked weird.

You know, among these eight people,

In terms of rank, she is the lowest. Apart from her, the other seven are all jounin;

In terms of age, she is the youngest. With her height of less than 1.5 meters, she really has no majesty to speak of;

In terms of experience, she had no experience at all. She had just become the captain, but she still acted alone on every mission.

In short, no matter from any point of view, she is not suitable to be the captain. First of all, whether she can convince the public is a problem, let alone commanding actions.

But Orochimaru just appointed him.

Putting herself in her shoes, if Chiba Mai saw that a person who was unreliable no matter how she looked at it was suddenly appointed by the leader as the person in charge of an important project, she would definitely feel that this person was either a relative of the leader or a follower of the leader. The leader has some kind of ulterior deal.

"He's not afraid that I will take all seven of them into the ditch." Chiba Mayi couldn't help but curse in her heart. Then she looked at Orochimaru's pale face with a look of expectation, and her brows raised unconsciously. Cursing secretly in his heart: "I think you are making things difficult for me, Chiba Mayi."

But no matter what, military orders are overwhelming, not to mention the profession of ninja, which requires guarding the rules with life.

Now that the commander has given the order, even if the eight people have various thoughts in their hearts, they can only obey silently.

So, eight people with different ideas set out on the road.

Regarding Orochimaru's thoughts, Chiba Mai has no time to analyze them now. All she needs to do now is to stabilize the morale of the army.

If when entering the Kingdom of Wind to perform a mission, some of the seven people question her orders, are not decisive in executing them or even obey her orders, it is very easy for problems to arise.

Even if Chiba Mai has some confidence in her current strength, she doesn't want to fail the mission and be in danger because of problems within the team.

Seeing that the border of the Kingdom of Wind was getting closer and closer, Chiba Mayi knew that she could not wait any longer and must speak clearly before stepping into the Kingdom of Wind.

So, when passing through a terrain that was convenient for hiding, Chiba Mayi, who had been walking at the front of the team, suddenly raised his hand and made a stop gesture. Although the other seven people did not know what was going on, they still followed Chiba Mayi and stopped. .

Even though the night was getting darker, through the faint light of the crescent moon on the horizon, Chiba Mai could still vaguely see the eyes of seven people looking at them at the same time. His eyes swept across the seven people in turn, and Chiba Mai said softly:

"I know that you have doubts about Lord Orochimaru's decision and about me, but for everyone's safety and the ability to better complete the mission, I feel that something must be explained clearly here."

"In terms of experience, I definitely have some shortcomings, but now that the matter has come to this, there are some things that need to be said first:

In the next task, if time permits, everyone can discuss the action plan together to make the best choice;

However, if the situation is critical, I hope that even if you have objections to my orders, you will not agree to act according to your own ideas on the surface but behind the scenes. I think no one wants to lose at the hands of his own people. "

The seven people listened to the "little" captain's majestic words with different expressions. Although several people hesitated to speak, no one spoke first.

Seeing that there was no one to refute for the time being, Chiba Mayi continued:

"The reason why I said what I said before is because I have a range of perception that is comparable to that of Byakugan. When the situation is really critical, I can point out the best course of action. So when that time comes, for everyone's safety To be safe, it’s best to listen to me.”

After hearing these words, the few people who seemed to have something to say before also became quiet.

"As for my strength, you don't have to worry. The Third Generation is not ready to send an incompetent brat to die."

After Chiba Mayi said these words, one of the seven people carrying the sword suddenly spoke with a calm tone:

"The new special jounin who single-handedly killed ten sand ninja elites can certainly be trusted in his strength."

"" After hearing this, four of the remaining six people were surprised, and two of them understood.

Chiba Mayi also expected this kind of reaction from everyone. In addition to her, three of the eight-person team this time were transferred from Konoha. It was normal for them to hear about it.

The remaining four people were the first to arrive at the southwest border, and the news only spread in the village after they left the village. It was normal for them not to know.

What she said before was meant for them, at least to give them some peace of mind.

"That's it. If there are no objections, let's come and explain it to each other so that we can be prepared for cooperation.

In addition to perception, I am also good at thunder escape, know some wind escape, and am very confident in speed. "

With Chiba Mai's introduction, the seven of them also introduced their own abilities. Soon, Chiba Mai had a general understanding of the situation of the entire team.

The person who carried the sword before was called Moonlight Night Mai. He was good at the swordsmanship of the Moonlight Family and the swordsmanship of the Konoha style. He also possesses the Bloodline Transmission of the Moonlight Family, which can eliminate his own aura and make his whole body transparent. He is a master of assassination.

In addition, the other two people came from Konoha, one was Kurama Fuugetsu of the Kurama clan. He had inherited the blood limit inherited from his family. He had first-class illusion skills and could control the enemy's five senses, and even eroded reality with illusions.

The other is Inuzuka Teddy of the Inuzuka clan, who claims to have excellent physical skills, an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and is a master of detection.

Of the remaining four "locals" on the southwest border, one is a mountain tree from the mountain clan. Naturally, his ability is the spiritual secret arts. He can detect thoughts, control the enemy's actions, and obtain information from the enemy.

The other two are ninjutsu masters, one is good at fire and earth escape, and is from the Sarutobi clan, named Sarutobi Kojiro; the other is good at wind and water escape, and also practices some medical ninjutsu, and is from the Shimura clan, named Shimura Shinpachi.

The last one, with a pair of iconic Byakugan, is Hinata Hanying, a branch of the Hyuga clan, with the soft fists of Taijutsu and the insight of Byakugan.

Coincidentally, except for Chiba Mayi, these seven people all come from several very famous families in Konoha.

In addition, the seven of them are capable of ninjutsu, taijutsu, illusion, reconnaissance, assassination and medical treatment. It seems that Orochimaru has fully considered all aspects and plans to let them conduct long-term operations behind enemy lines.

However, after hearing about the abilities of the seven people, Chiba Mayi always felt as if she was redundant, as if she was specially stuffed into this team.

As for who this person was, she didn't even have to guess. It was right there. The curiosity and interest in those golden snake eyes were not fake.

After a short exchange, the eight-person team finally became a little more harmonious, initially solved the problem of trust, and got to know each other, at least on the surface.

However, the time is too short after all, and this is all that can be done for the time being. The rest needs to be slowly adjusted in the next tasks.

Soon, the team that had initially solved the problems within the team was on the road again, heading towards the border of the Kingdom of Wind.
