The next morning, Uchiha Chen greeted Nawaki with a tired look on his face.
"Nawaki, morning."
"Chen, where did you go last night?" Nawaki asked in confusion.
"I was pestered by Minato all night and talked with him about Ninjutsu's problems." Uchiha Chen cheered up.
"But, I just met Minato. He looked radiant."
"You know how he has so much energy. Let's go to the mission point." Uchiha Chen took the lead and led Nawaki towards the gate.
Last night, Big White conveyed the message from Orochimaru, mainly asking them to join the Genin patrol team.
In the words of Orochimaru, this task is easy and not dangerous. It is almost specially prepared for Genin like them.
Having encountered so many threats, Uchiha Chen is happy to take on such a mission. So early in the morning he took Mikoto and Nawaki to the mission gathering place.
When we got there, there were already many Genin teams. Uchiha Chen The green vest is still very eye-catching.
"Are you Team Uchiha Chen?" A gentle voice sounded in Uchiha Chen's ears.
He raised his head and found in front of him a Jonin who looked to be in his early twenties. He has blue hair and a gentle expression.
"Yesterday afternoon, I received a notice from above saying that a new team was to be added." The man continued.
"Yes, that's us." Uchiha Chen stood up and pointed at Nawaki and Mikoto behind him.
"Are you——Kato Taka? Uh no...Kato Dan Jonin?"
Uchiha Chen immediately changed his mind. He just unconsciously said the name of his idol.
Kato Dan smiled and didn't care about the subtle typo in Uchiha Chen.
"It's me. I'm Squad Leader Jonin in charge of investigation now. Welcome to join us."
Next to him stood three of his subordinates, the Shikaku trio whom they had not seen for a long time.
"You became Chunin when you were only ten years old. Chen, you are really awesome."
The familiar Kato Dan smiled and patted Uchiha Chen on the shoulder.
"It's not like my three useless disciples."
"Teacher, being Chunin is very troublesome."
Shikaku held his head with a look of disgust on his face.
Kato Dan also knew Shikaku's character very well, so he had no choice but to smile helplessly.
Shikaku turned to Uchiha Chen and nodded, "Long time no see, Chen, Nawaki and Mikoto."
Uchiha Chen The three of them also greeted each other.
Since arriving at the camp, they have been dispatched by Orochimaru, and it is true that they have not seen their former classmates for a long time.
"Your Chunin vest is quite beautiful." Choza stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Uchiha Chen's light green vest.
Uchiha Chen unceremoniously blocked Choza's fingers that were covered in snacks. Choza Seeing that his prank failed, he licked the snack crumbs on his hand.
"Chen, I heard that you went to the battlefield to perform a mission. How was it?"
Taking advantage of the fact that he was still free in the morning, Inoichi also quickly asked.
After all, no matter how mature he is, he is still a ten-year-old child, so it is inevitable that he will be interested in these gossips.
"... It's okay. I just met Explosion Release Hunter from Iwa-nin."
Uchiha Chen also briefly talked about their tasks.
The war didn't change Shikaku them much, they were still as lazy as before. After all, these people have always been in Konoha Camp, and even the occasional battles are at the same level.
Kato Dan stood aside and flipped through the task list in his hand. Uchiha Chen He had already read their information yesterday.
Although the other party is only ten years old, his strength cannot be judged by common sense.
Kato Dan patted Teuchi and cut off the chat between the two brats. "Chen, the inspection scope of each team has been assigned. You see, let's go on inspection with Shikaku and the others first and get familiar with the situation. What do you think?"
"Okay, you just have to make arrangements." Uchiha Chen nodded.
Now that they have been assigned, Uchiha Chen and the others got up and rushed to the mission point.
Calling it a mission point, it's just stationed in a dense forest. Each team is stationed in a different location, forming a circle that surrounds the camp.
"Is this the so-called reconnaissance?" Nawaki's head poked out from among the rain-wet leaves of a giant tree, looking extremely unhappy.
He thought that the investigation would be like Yura and the others, but he didn't know that everyone would find a tree to hide. No wonder it's safe here.
Nawaki has begun to mature since what happened last time. It's just that this kind of peace is not what he wants.
He stood up and wanted to take a look at Uchiha Chen where they were.
However, there was only the sound of rain in the entire dense forest, and the remaining five people, not even Nawaki, knew their specific locations.
Nawaki can only hide himself again in anger.
In a tree hole about ten meters northeast of Nawaki's location, Uchiha Chen was lying leisurely.
Rainwater was passing through the narrow hole. In the landscape blurred by thick cumulus clouds, only the sound of rain hitting leaves was particularly clear.
Uchiha Chen already had a premonition that a war was coming. It's just the calm before the storm.
This uneasiness, like flying fragments, kept passing before his eyes, making him breathless and making him even more irritable.
However, any movement of Wind Blow within a radius of more than ten meters is still under the control of Big White.
Just when Uchiha Chen was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly woken up by Big White.
Immediately he raised his eyes and saw ninjas coming towards here outside the dense forest.
And looking at their costumes, they are clearly the ninjas of Iwagakure!
A big war is finally about to begin.
