An Urgent Mission Always Follows a Little Leisure

"Hey, I... could you two please leave one of you alive?"

Shino's voice sounded a little downcast.

The mission was over with the death of the missing-nin, and the three of them unanimously took off their masks to expose their faces to the wind.

After the mission is completed, and in a safe environment, the Anbu will relax and chat casually. After all, no one can work like a robot, constantly on edge.

Their mission was to investigate and arrest ninjas showing signs of betraying the village. If they refused to be arrested, they would be dealt with at all costs, regardless of their lives.

However, the opponent is only Chunin- level ninja. Is it really necessary to go all out and leave no one alive...?

Standing on high ground, enjoying the breeze, Yugao glared at her captain with a hint of annoyance, saying, "Shino, the Anbu can't afford to be hesitant when they make a move. They have to take him down with a swift and decisive strike!"

"Your swordsmanship is too sharp; most people simply can't withstand it. The seniors in the Interrogation Department have complained to me several times already. Every time, we end up bringing back dead bodies," Shino said as he skillfully severed the corpse's head and sealed it into a scroll. "Next time, perhaps I should take the lead. I'm better at controlling my attacks; I can manage to wound without killing the victim..."

"If the captain thinks that Sister Yugao is not suitable, how about I take the lead?" The pink-haired girl sat on the rock, swinging her legs.

He said with a grin.

Sakura is currently positioned as a powerful turret in the team.

Basically, she only gets a chance to act when faced with fleeing enemies or powerful defensive Ninjutsu.

Although the missions of the Anbu are tedious and dangerous, the Fourteenth Squad, with three Jonin fighters, can hold their own even against a Quasi-Kage Level powerhouse, let alone deal with these Chunin- level foes.

Therefore, most of the time, the missions they undertake are not difficult or dangerous. It's not as Sakura imagines, that every mission involves facing powerful opponents, or even Kage Level beings.

Opponents like this are actually the norm.

As a result, scenes of overwhelming combat power and excessive damage output often occur.

Yugao is proficient in Taijutsu and is the team's assault specialist, usually initiating the first attack.

Shino is the backbone of the team, excelling in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. He is in charge of the battle and controlling the rhythm of the fight, leaving the rest of the enemies to him.

As for the leftovers, Sakura Haruno had no choice but to deal with them.

To achieve two kills like this is considered a stroke of good luck for her.

She was also a little impatient with this.

"Stop fooling around, Yuan. Just do your job well; that's the essence of teamwork."

Shino shook his head and refused the girl's request outright. He put away the scroll, took out a mission book from his pocket, drew a big red X on the portrait of the slain missing-nin, and flipped through the pages to find that it was the last page.

"The first one, and it's related to Orochimaru again? Orochimaru's espionage activities have been quite extensive lately, and he's exposed a lot of things. Has something gone wrong... Never mind, let's not worry about that for now! All missions are complete, let's go back!" Shino the mission book, his spirits lifted. He was quite impatient with these low-level missions from the Anbu.

Even a battle like today is not common in this mission; among the thirteen investigations, encountering a few who actually betrayed the village is already considered a lot. Generally, ninjas who come to be investigated by the Anbu will honestly confess under the influence of the Truth Scroll, and they usually only made some mistakes, so the worst result is just being dismissed and investigated.

"This kind of mission is so boring. I still hope to meet a real opponent!" Sakura pouted, speaking with the fearlessness of the ignorant.

Yugao and Shino exchanged a glance, then shook their heads with smiles.

Experienced and powerful Anbu like Shino and Yugao are usually no longer assigned such missions, but Shino also knows that there is a new member in the team now, and this is a necessary adjustment period.

"Yuan, you're still a newbie. Of course, you can only take on simple missions at the beginning to get familiar with the rhythm of the Anbu. This has nothing to do with how strong you are." Shino waved the mission book in his hand and explained, "Besides, we are a newly formed team. You are a newbie. Although Xi and I know each other, we rarely fight together. The three of us still lack some practice, so naturally we won't choose some more dangerous missions to assign to us rashly."

Yugao then picked up where Shino, saying, "Don't worry, Tobi~ Our mission completion rate is 100% so far. After we get back, we should get some higher-level missions!"

Shino put away the mission sheet, used a Fire Style to burn the corpse to ashes, and the three of them cleaned up the scene before leaving while chatting casually.

"As for how we've gotten to know each other, I think your current assessment of me is wrong," said Sakura, who was running at the back. "You haven't even grasped my full potential yet. Whether it's close range or mid-to-long range, I have enough offensive power. There's no need to put me at the back, only to have me throw out a few Ninjutsu from a distance during battle."

"That's why we lack teamwork!" Shino flipped his mask back, making it look like his head was turned 180 degrees. "Last time you were going to charge ahead, and your Water Release almost sliced me in half, tsk tsk tsk!"

Yugao turned around and smiled, saying, "Ninjutsu with too much power and too wide an impact is better left to the back for single shots! Leave the front-line work to my precise, sharp, and accident-free swordsmanship, Uzuki Yugao!"

"My Nintaijutsu is good too! And combine it with my Mirror Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!" the girl with the cat-face mask on her side argued, "Super-sharp Body Flicker Technique combined with close-range attacks!"

Shino turned around and rolled his eyes at the girl.

"You have the nerve to say that? Last time you and Yugao targeted the same person, using that teleportation Body Flicker Technique to get behind them, and Yugao almost chopped you down too. Then your Star Cannon Hammer almost hit Yugao as well... That teamwork was just unbelievable."

"Captain, you've done things like this before, haven't you?" Yugao's voice drifted over. "Don't forget last month, I just charged in and you hit me with a Great Fireball from behind. I almost thought Shino was trying to kill me!"

"Heh heh," Shino chuckled dryly, "Actually, I used my Ninjutsu first before you rushed over, right? Don't blame me!"

"So it's my fault, Ito Shino- sama?" Yugao raised an eyebrow, her tone turning dangerous.

"Exactly! Shino is always trying to shift the blame! And that incident last time, it was clearly Shino's fault, but he stubbornly refused to admit it!"

As a transmigrator who experienced the internet age, Sakura Haruno has already mastered professional skills such as finishing off enemies and setting the pace of the game without any formal instruction.

They utterly Shino, leaving him utterly defeated.

The Fourteenth Squad then entered their usual routine of revealing each other's embarrassing moments and setting the tone for each other's antics.

After returning to Konoha to report for duty, the Fourteenth Squad was granted a few days' leave because the mission was completed quickly.

Shino was forced to treat Yugao to another lavish meal after she threatened to reveal embarrassing things from his past.

After the big meal, Sakura touched her round belly and felt how comfortable life was.

Easy tasks, lavish feasts, leisurely daily life.

Suddenly, I realize that this kind of life isn't so bad after all!

Then, the next day, when Shino caught her and announced that her vacation was ruined, her sense of peace vanished instantly.

"Sakura, urgent mission! Meet at the Hokage Building! While you're at it, also inform Yugao; I haven't seen her!"

Shino finished and left in a hurry.

"Well..."

When they wanted a challenging mission, all they got were boring patrols.

I wanted to relax and be a couch potato for once, but my vacation plans immediately fell through.

I can't live like this anymore! Ugh!

The pink-haired girl resisted the urge to make an indecent gesture.

He silently pulled out his Anbu uniform.
