Chapter 153 Aggressive

In the hazy night, Mizuki felt a figure approaching. The direction is exactly the way you came.

"It's already so late..."

Mizuki has long experienced how boring the practice of chakra control and perception is. Especially for things like perceiving natural energy, it requires a good environment to practice. Avoiding people's eyes and ears is not because you can't practice when you are together, but because the movement is too loud. For Neiji Hyuga and Aoba Yamashiro, it is not difficult to perceive the movement of Mizuki, and the parasite of Yume Shino is also extremely sensitive to the movement of Chakra. When he came to this place in the wilderness, firstly, he set up traps, and secondly, Mizuki seized all the time to practice sensing natural energy as much as possible. In this kind of quiet environment in the wild, when no one disturbs, the effect of cultivation is really good for Shuimu.

Seeing someone coming, Mizuki also realized that it was getting late and it was time to go back. Sure enough, not long after, Yamashiro Aoba came out from the darkness.

"Why haven't you returned for so long?"

"Sorry for worrying you." Mizuki replied, "This place feels very comfortable, I've been sitting there for so long without knowing it..."

"As the captain, you just leave your subordinates and come here to enjoy the moon?" Yamashiro Aoba joked with a smile, "Even if you become a Jonin, you haven't changed much..."

"Is this not good?" Mizuki also knew that Aoba Yamashiro didn't blame himself, it was just a joke among acquaintances.

"It's okay. I know your behavior style. Those two servants don't know. They thought something happened to you and you didn't have a good rest."

"S-level mission, can you not be nervous?"

"It's like wearing a forehead protector and becoming a ninja for the first time. I'm excited and a little uneasy." Yamashiro Aoba also came over, and sat side by side with Mizuki on the tree trunk to watch the moon, "By the way, Mizuki, do you still remember your first time?" Is it an S-rank mission?"

"It's been a while, I can't remember."

"I don't remember either, so we are also ninjas who have survived a hundred battles. I don't know if we can start well and end well..."

"It seems that you usually don't look like a person who thinks too much, so you also think about this?"

"I didn't think about it at first, but recently I started thinking about it." Yamashiro Aoba said calmly.

Indeed, too many people have died recently, both familiar and unfamiliar, all lost their lives in this more than a month.

"I understand. You are so sentimental today because of those two forbearers, right? Are you worried that they are too nervous? Or are you unable to bear the pressure?"

"Both of them. Those two people are rare talents. The village has lost so much, and it is time to replenish fresh blood. We can't let them die in this kind of place for nothing..."

"You, you still don't trust me as the new captain..." Mizuki said it graciously.

"It's not that I don't believe it, I just feel that the village's decision is a bit too hasty." Shancheng Qingye said with a little embarrassment.

"You think too much, Aoba." In this case, Mizuki also had to reveal some specific information to Yamashiro Aoba, to reassure him, it's never a good thing for the biggest helper to be worried.

"To be honest, I personally requested the staffing arrangement this time. I will make suggestions on the specific list, and Tsunade-sama finally agreed..."

"It's you? How could it be?" At first, I thought it was the specific arrangement of the Fifth Hokage, but I didn't expect it to be the result of Mizuki Kazu's insistence.

"You are right about one thing, Aoba, they are all rare talents, and they will support the backbone of the village in the future..." Mizuki did not answer directly, "However, you still greatly underestimated their strength. A rare help."

"You really think so?" Yamashiro Aoba asked suspiciously.

"Of course, although it's hard to find a high-ranking ninja in the village, it's not easy to find a few middle-ranked ninjas with little fighting power, but you can still find a few. Why do you think I asked to second two low-level ninjas? Why did the village agree? What they need is not encouragement and comfort, but our trust!"

"Hmm..." Shancheng Qingye pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Well, what you said makes sense. The flowers in the greenhouse cannot grow into pillars supporting Konoha. Now it is indeed a good exercise. Opportunity. However, the two of us will have to spend more time..."

"Don't worry, why do you think the village promoted me to be a ninja?" Mizuki said confidently, "This time, they will be fine if they are more careful..."

A few ninjas will not be the target of the attack. On the contrary, Mizuki must pay special attention. He who is likely to be targeted is far more dangerous than others.

"I have no choice but to trust you..." Anyway, in the current situation, it is impossible to give up halfway, and I have to continue the task even if I bite the bullet.

"Let's go back, it's getting late..." Mizuki looked at the parasites flying by not far away, and the feeling of being spied on twice not long ago. Knowing that Yume Shino and Hinata Ningji were worried, they came here to investigate.

"En." Yamashiro Aoba followed Mizuki and began to walk back. "It feels like you've become a Jonin, and you're becoming more and more able to speak..."

"No, you are too weak, you never said anything about me."

...

In the early morning of the next day, the whole team still slowly moved forward according to the planned route. For a team formed of ninjas, it was excruciatingly slow. The enemy's blatant demonstration: "We are here, come here if you have the courage..."

Such a scene is quite rare in ninja missions. For a profession developed by assassins, assassins and lurkers who act secretly, stealth and fast maneuvering have become a major label of ninjas, although there is no lack of individual characteristics Ninjas really do not meet the label of general mainstream ninjas, but the direction of ninja development has never changed. Even after the birth of Chakra greatly improved the role of ninjas, and gradually moved from behind the scenes to the front stage, and even directly replaced the mainstream fighting profession of samurai, their basic style has never changed.

"Mizuki, is this alright?" Yamashiro Aoba was also worried when he saw the mess of the team, "Should we do something?"

"No need." Mizuki shook his head, "Let Shino's bugs keep a certain range of reconnaissance, and don't do anything else."

In fact, Mizuki also expected this situation. In essence, this operation is a game where the three ninja villages and the "Akatsuki" organization compare each other's stupidity. Moreover, each side thinks that the other side is more stupid than themselves, which is why this strange scene occurs.

"In this strange situation caused by the error of unequal information, the only variable is actually myself..."

The only Mizuki who has an advantage in intelligence may be the one who can really dominate the rhythm in this mission, especially when his own hard power has risen to the point where he can participate in this level of competition, it will be even more obvious.

Konoha Village believes that he has internal information about Itachi Uchiha, information about Jiraiya, and information about two combat contacts. Yanyin Village will think that the enemy stupidly launched an internal response to rescue Didara, so they want to use their tricks. Shayin Village is even more foolish to take chestnuts out of the fire to reap benefits.

The "Xiao" organization is even more confident in its intelligence capabilities. It has all-pervasive intelligence, as well as countless peripheral organizations and internal agents that have developed over the years. And it is very likely that the Scarlet Sand Scorpion will be involved in Yuliang who has mixed into the action team. None of these people think that they will fall into the enemy's trap, but only use the information at hand to arrange their own actions.

The consequences of the three major Ninja villages and the "Akatsuki" organization believing that they have an intelligence advantage have been clearly and unmistakably reflected. Then the encounter that was expected to have a high probability will become an accident that will definitely happen. A fierce battle is inevitable.

Although she was a bit puzzled by Mizuki's arrangement, Yamashiro Aoba still arranged two ninja missions according to Mizuki's request.

"Is the situation serious? Mizuki?" Yamashiro Aoba asked in a low voice.

"Get ready." Mizuki nodded calmly, "I don't know when I'll be back, but I will definitely come, and the time won't be too far away."

According to this situation, just wait for the other party to figure out the specific information here, and then they will definitely do it. I just don't know how many people will come and who will come.

...

In this dawdling atmosphere, the team walked for two days, but the distance traveled was not much longer than the team led by Hyuga Hyuzu last time. Mizuki was even in the mood to visit the place that was razed to the ground by Earth Explosion Star. It can be clearly felt that the soil layer under the ground is quite soft, and some broken pieces of puppet-like things can be clearly seen in it. Even if the ground has grown a layer of vegetation in the past few days, it has not been completely covered.

"This is where you fought at that time? This kind of trace is too scary, how did you escape?" Such a scene made Yamashiro Aoba feel that Hinata Hinata and his party were able to escape without harming anyone. Also amazed.

"It's a long story, but you just need to know that we may encounter opponents of this level."

"That's really life-threatening." Shancheng Qingye said with a wry smile: According to what you said, there may not be such a person, how can we win against them? "

"What are you in a hurry for? This time, we have allies. Besides, you have to have confidence in me. I am a winner in life who is about to get promoted and raise my salary, and then get married. I will never die in such a ghostly place." of."

"Mizuki, you don't have to show off your fiancée all the time, we all know that"

"I'm reminding you." Mizuki glanced at Aoba Yamashiro and said, "Hurry up and treat the guests when I go back this time. I have even contacted the guests here. Also, you are about to start preparing the congratulatory gifts."

Taking advantage of the leisure time, Mizuki and Yamashiro Aoba were talking and laughing. Suddenly, from a distance, I saw Maji walking over with Yura, and Chitu also brought Heitu, as if there was something to discuss.

After several people walked in, Mizuki looked at them clearly with hesitation on their faces.

"Guys, what can I do for you?" Mizuki asked first.

"About this operation, we want to withdraw from the joint team and return to Hidden Sand Village first." Ma Ji said seriously that surprised Mizuki.

"What happened?" Mizuki asked.

"We think that this place is not very far from the village. If you go all the way, you can go home in less than a day, so there is no need to move so slowly." Jonin Yura replied.

"This is currently the consensus of Sand Ninja." Markey nodded in confirmation.

"You guys wanted to join in the back then, but now you just quit without giving any explanation? Are all the people in Shayin Village so rude?" The young Heitu couldn't understand Sand Shinobi's repetition the most. Impermanence, just open his mouth to ridicule.

"The world changes, we don't need to be so rigid, and ninjas are not static things. Besides, isn't it a good thing for you, you can reach Yanyin Village quickly, and you don't need to detour."

Mizuki took a deep look at the serious-looking Yura, and was furious in his heart. It is very likely that this guy passed some false information, which made Maji make an extremely wrong judgment.

Then, Mizuki said sternly: "Maji Shangren, I don't know the reason for Guicun's sudden withdrawal, and I don't want to know. These are irrelevant things. I just want to ask. Sand hidden Has the village found something more valuable than being an ally of Konoha?"

Mizuki's words were no longer in a tone of discussion, but a blatant threat. The situation was threatening, and Mizuki couldn't figure out what the red sand scorpion ordered Yura to do in it. In this case, the possibility of persuasion and persuasion is very small, and it is better to be effective than direct threats. And Mizuki's confidence in doing this is that, compared to Konoha's need for an ally of Shayin Village to take a breather for a while, Sandy Village needs a layer of tiger skin from Konoha's ally to bluff and really turn against Konoha. The one who attacked Shayin Village was definitely Yanyin Village, who was staring at him from the sidelines.

"Mizuki Jominin, what do you mean by that?" After hearing Mizuki's words, Maki asked with a frown.

"Just like the literal meaning, Maji Shangren, please think carefully about what I said."

"I want to confirm again, can what you just said represent Konoha and the Fifth Hokage?"

"For this mission, Shayin Village must not be ignorant of the inside story. At this time, no matter what the reason is, I think Konoha will only make the same voice as me." Mizuki was extremely grateful that Muye After all, Ye Cun is also the overlord of the ninja world in name, and he is also a jounin who speaks quite a lot, and is no longer a dispensable character. In this case, the words spoken on behalf of Konoha, Even if there is a deviation in the end, as long as the general direction is good, the village will definitely endorse what he said.

"If that's the case, let's think about it again." After speaking, Ma Ji led Yura away with a more gloomy expression.

Mizuki finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Maji was gone, thinking about it was just a polite word on face, but in fact he gave in. It would be a big loss if the three jonin of Sand Hidden Village, especially the most powerful Maki, left.

"So, let's go first, Mizuki Joshin, or Konoha's words will work." The words of the burly Akatsuto were very polite.

Watching the two teams leave one after another, Chang Qingye from the mountain city at the side said with a sigh of relief: "The conversation almost collapsed just now, Mizuki, you are so courageous."

"It's unreasonable to reason with these shinobi who are full of hearts, so we can only do this." Mizuki continued, "Pay attention to that Yura, and if he has any special actions, tell me right away."
