Chapter 108 On the Road

For this important task, it is actually not much of a task. It is more about saving face. It can be seen from the staffing that Konoha doesn't mean to make a big fuss at all.

『It can be regarded as taking care of Sand Shinobu's face. 』

Konoha took great pains to appease this little brother who was always disobedient. After suffering such a big loss, he endured it alive. But it's no wonder that Konoha and Sand Shinobu quickly made peace. The leaders of the two ninja villages were killed by the same person, and two of the five ninja villages were played around. Not to mention the heavy losses, they all became the laughing stock of the ninja world. Forget about sand ninja, mud has always been unable to support the wall, and there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, and not many people will care about being beaten up by Konoha fat after sand ninja rebelled. The huge gap in size greatly suppressed Sand Ninja's hope of winning, not to mention being cheated by the malicious ally Orochimaru.

Mizuki looked at the group of people, although he had expected the boredom along the way, but he really didn't expect it to be so boring. Hyuga Hyuzu himself is a serious person. When he goes out, he has to take into account the face of the family, and there is a real gap in status with Mizuki, so there is no communication. Everyone else has a businesslike attitude.

For Yuhihong, Mizuki is not familiar with it, and there was very little communication in the past. Occasional conversations were only with Asma, and the three of them could still talk a few words, but the two of them really didn't know what to say. There is another important reason, the reason why Mizuki doesn't want to deal with Yuhihong is because she is a phantom ninja. Although Mizuki himself is best at the sealing technique and the chakra control power he is proud of, but with the addition of Mizuki's superb control power, his illusion ability can be regarded as entering the room. It is precisely because of this understanding that one can deeply understand the dangers of illusion-type ninjas, especially when unsuspecting acquaintances use illusions against themselves, it is simply impossible to guard against.

"This can also be regarded as an alternative version where colleagues are enemies. 』

As long as it is a phantom ninja, the aura caused by unconsciously making habitual actions on the body is really special. Maybe ninjas who are not familiar with illusion don't pay much attention to it, but a real master of illusion is not easy to hide in front of ninjas of the same level.

As for the other two Sand Ninja captives, they have no desire to speak. Although the two villages have made peace, after all, it has only been less than a day. Moreover, they were all teenagers who were a little younger than Mizuki, so they really had nothing in common.

Also, Mizuki doesn't have much desire to deal with Gaara's appearance covered in sand.

"With so much sand, you still carry it on your body all day, and wrap yourself up from time to time, don't you think it's dirty?"

Mizuki, who is a little bit obsessed with cleanliness, doesn't want to deal with a dirty child. He hasn't slept for so long and is covered in sand. He is obviously not a person who takes a bath diligently. Although Mizuki didn't feel anything about Gaara, but he just didn't want to get close, even if this guy would be Kazekage soon.

As for Temari, a girl around fifteen years old has a good appearance and figure, but her aesthetics are not good. In Mizuki's opinion, her hairstyle is too ugly and her clothes are too rustic. She is still a child of Kazekage, so she doesn't know how to dress up Yes, what a waste of a good face.

For the situation where there is almost no communication, Mizuki has nothing to do.

"It's a waste of time. If I had known it earlier, I would have brought some information to read, or even brought a few ninja novels to pass the time. It will take several days like this, I really can't stand it." 』

The six of them walked dully for most of the day, and in the evening, the team finally stopped to rest. After finding a place near the mountains and rivers, and setting up three tents, we finally had some group activities—sitting in front of the fire and having dinner in a circle.

It wasn't until this time that Mizuki felt a little relaxed. Although Mizuki didn't have much foodie attributes, eating was always a joy, especially with his favorite food.

When you're away from home, there's no such thing as table manners. Mizuki took out the bento carefully prepared by Xiaotsubaki, ignoring other people's strange eyes. He took out the steaming assorted sushi from the ridiculously large lunch box, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

"It's not appropriate for a ninja to go out with such an inconvenient big box of bento, right?" Kureni Yuhi, who was obsessed with Mizuki's exaggerated big lunch box at noon, finally couldn't help asking Exited, "Especially there are still missions in hand, will it affect the combat effectiveness?"

"Uh..." Mizuki, who didn't expect Kurenai Yuhi to take the initiative to ask questions, was stunned for a moment, "Combat power? Isn't it enough for me to keep an eye on the two of them?" Temari and Gaara didn't forget to swallow the food in their mouths.

To be honest, with Mizuki's status, he would not be allowed to participate in such diplomatic activities without special reasons. On formal occasions, the Chunin is still not enough to watch, otherwise how can we alarm the patriarch of the Hyuga family?

However, I have long heard that Kurenai Yuhi has the characteristics of a heroine in a female school that does not match her appearance, and she is also meticulous and extremely serious in her work, otherwise she would not become a Jonin, especially a female Jonin who is good at illusion. Mizuki, who understands the difficulty of illusion, is also convinced by Yuhihong's strength. At least for now, Mizuki's chance of winning is very small in a head-to-head battle. Of course, Kurenai Yuhi who has a bold personality is also very bold in drinking, otherwise he wouldn't have mixed up with Mitarai Anko.

"You can't say that. Although this mission is not likely to be dangerous, you still need to be more vigilant," Yuhi Hong said dissatisfiedly, "What if the two sand ninjas run away? This is an important bargaining chip for the village."

"Are you going to run away?" Mizuki turned to Diomai and Gaara after hearing Yuhihong's words.

To Mizuki's question, Temari shook his head in embarrassment, and Gaara ignored it as if he didn't hear it.

"Look, they all said not to run away..."

They will be allies again soon, and the two ninja villages are eager to calm down and recuperate. How can there be extra problems at this important moment? Presumably these two people have also received instructions from sand ninja village, and they will not make misleading actions at this time of the move.

Moreover, just one day after Orochimaru’s Konoha collapse plan, Konoha and Sand Shinobi made peace. How could other ninja villages and ninja organizations have such a quick response to interfere? Maybe not many people have figured out the situation . As for the wandering ninjas and bandits and bandits on the road, at least they haven't seen one that doesn't have long eyes.

Kurenai Yuhi had nothing to say to Mizuki. Although the ninja level was higher than Mizuki, he was not the captain of the mission after all.

"Besides, Xiaochun made it with her own hands, and it's full of love. Don't you make a lunch box for Asma?"

Hearing Mizuki's casual question, Yuhihong's face immediately blushed a little, he hesitated and said: "Why should I cook for Asma? And this is a mission, it has nothing to do with him..."

"Huh? Still pretending it's okay? It's been so long, you thought everyone didn't notice?"

"Asma bought flowers in my shop several times? Didn't they come for you? That's strange..." Mizuki pretended to be thinking.

"A coy love, it's hard to pretend even an irrelevant person..."

However, since Kurenai Yuhi said Sand Shinobu, Mizuki also has a question in his heart.

"How did your brother Kankuro run away?" Mizuki asked his opponent, "It seems that he was seriously injured at the time?"

Given the chaotic situation at that time, it was impossible for Sand Ninja, who was at a disadvantage, to rescue the three Genin, even the children of Kazekage, but Gaara was an exception. Jinchuriki always had to be rescued.

"It's Mentor Maki, who happened to meet me when I was retreating, and took Kankuro away by the way..."

"Maki..." Mizuki murmured to himself, and stopped asking. Sand ninja's elite policy makes every combat power extremely precious, and a puppet master with sand ninja characteristics like Kankuro is even more reliable for sand ninja in the future. "I don't know what happened to the blast."

Every day that passes, is actually reducing the chance of Moonlight Gale waking up. After such a long time, whether it is physical or mental, the injuries should have almost recovered. If he can't wake up, it can only show that his vitality has been completely exhausted.

"It would be great if Tsunade-sama was here. I think I can save Hayate and understand it." The village seniors know a lot about Moonlight Hayate, and most of the jounin who participated in the mission know about it. Yuhihong, whom Ma knew well, knew, and it was not surprising at all.

"Asuma seems to have suffered a serious arm injury yesterday, is it okay?" After dealing with Mitarai's red beans yesterday, I was going to show Asma the injury, but when I came out, I found that the person had disappeared.

"There's no big problem anymore, it's all trauma, and it will be fine in a few days after it's dealt with." This time, Yuhihong didn't hide anything, and answered Mizuki's question straightforwardly.

"That's good..." Mizuki ate the last piece of sushi in the lunch box.

"I finally got my attention by chattering, and I finally finished my meal..."

After eating and drinking, Mizuki quickly packed up his things, and then leisurely leaned against the tree trunk behind him, quietly waiting for everyone to finish eating.

"It's all dry food, Hinata Hizuru is eating pancakes, no wonder Yuhihong looks at me, it's too ostentatious, but anyway, it's not a big deal..."

There are many ninjas with eccentricities in the ninja world, and there is nothing strange about good food. How about Scorpion and Deidara playing art? What is Mizuki eating more?

After a while, the other five people finished eating.

"Cough cough."

Suddenly there was a signal coughing sound.

"Hey, is it Hinata Hizuru?"

Accustomed to the majestic Hinata patriarch, he actually had something to say.

"I have been negligent in communicating with the two teachers before, and Hinata has been taken care of by the two teachers. I am very grateful..."

"Those who care about Hinata? Thank you Kurenai Yuhi. After all, you are the teacher who leads the team. Is it considered polite to bring yourself? If you are talking about the ninja school, you should also thank Iruka, and..."

Hinata Hinata's polite words made Mizuki feel uncomfortable for a while, he is considered a scumbag, so what are the others?

However, the courtesy of the big man also needs to be dealt with. Kurenai Yuhi and Mizuki also exchanged a few words.

"Is Mr. Mizuki familiar with Neji?" Hinata Hyuzu asked.

"It's not very familiar, I just got along with each other for a while during the task recently, and I met occasionally and chatted a few times." Mizuki replied.

"Oh? How does Neji feel?"

"He is a real genius..." Mizuki replied without hesitation.

After listening to Mizuki's words, Hinata Hinata nodded: "I saw Mizuki-sensei chatting with Neji after the Chunin exam, so I thought you were very familiar."

"I know Ning Ci quite well, after all, he is also a genius in the village and a pillar of the future."

Mizuki, who was coping casually, felt helpless. After contacting the geniuses of these big families so few times, they were noticed, even though it was a critical period of Ningci's psychological changes.

"With the supercilious investigative ability, it's not surprising to find my actions and getting close to Neiji Hinata, but the vigilance of these big families is too heavy. Fortunately, I didn't put my hope on this group of family children..."

Next is the topic of Hinata Higashi and Yuhi Kurenai about Hinata Hinata. Although Mizuki thinks he understands Hinata's talent better than Kurenai Yuhi, but he can't speak, so he can only listen honestly.

"Sure enough, I have never stopped caring for the eldest daughter of the clan, but I just don't show it usually, people of the big family..."

In fact, Mizuki can understand Hinata Hinata's painstaking efforts and difficulties, and family and personal expectations are often inconsistent. Hyuga Hyuzu is not only a patriarch, but also a father.

After nightfall, everyone who had walked a long way was tired and went to rest early. Hinata Hizuru shared a tent with each other, Hyuga Ke, Mizuki, and Gaara squeezed into a tent, and the last one was given to Kurenai Yuhi and Temari.

But the cautious Mizuki took the time to make a lot of cordons and traps near the station. Even with supercilious eyes, Mizuki still decided to take more insurance measures.

...

In the dead of night, only the howling of wolves, the cry of frogs, and various unknown insects can be heard.

Suddenly, Mizuki was awakened by a shock, and then sat up quickly. The sudden movement attracted the attention of Gaara, who had been awake not far away, and then looked at Mizuki strangely.

"What's going on?" Hyuga Ke also woke up immediately and asked.

"Someone is here," Mizuki replied with an ugly face, "Two people..."
