Mist Ninja may fight against Mist Ninja during the mission. Uchiha Chen has already prepared for this.
But in his estimation, it should be after arriving at Beika Town or finding Ryoma, not before.
As Third Hokage said, Mist Ninja wants to achieve a certain purpose through the son of the former Daimyo. But the normal approach is to stay by the other person's side instead of suddenly appearing in the Land of Fire forest.
Moreover, this Mist Ninja team happened to be encountered by Team One who was performing this mission. You know, the detection range of Himeji is only one kilometer, and this forest is more than one kilometer.
Unless it was a deliberate ambush, the probability of such an encounter was almost zero.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Kirigakure sent a large number of ninjas to ambush in this forest, waiting for Konoha Ninja...
But this is not a conspiracy, but a massive attack.
But now Konoha is invincible and has powerfully defeated the two villages of Sha and Yan. Shinobi World's status has been consolidated again. No one will provoke the tiger at this juncture.
Therefore, the whole thing is weird when you think about it carefully.
This is like a thousand-year-old villain who has been trying to get into the finals every time. This time he suddenly stopped being stubborn and took out a vss gun to start. And the target he chose was the person who always eats chicken...
There is only one possibility in this case - he cheated.
I don't know if Kirigakure is infected, but even if it is, what can I do?
Second Great Ninja War won't show up. In this kind of war, what's the point of playing dirty tricks?
To put it bluntly, even if the coup succeeds, it will not have any substantial impact on Konoha, let alone impossible.
The only use is to make Konoha sick, but no one except Ōnoki would do this kind of meaningless feud.
What's more, there is no conflict between Konoha and Hidden Mist Village. Third Mizukage would only do such a thing if he was kicked in the head.
And the most inconsistent thing about the whole thing is that the captain of Kirigakure... is actually Kaguya Clan.
Can you believe it?!
You know, Kaguya Clan is famous for his violent temper. Would Third Mizukage hand over such a secret mission to a violent maniac?
Of course, any family will have different types, but from the previous confrontation, Uchiha Chen can conclude that the opponent is not a ninja with enhanced intelligence, but a fighting maniac bathed in the blood of Saiyan.
So, is this person sent here because he is afraid that the mission will fail?
In short, there are many doubts about the whole matter. Seeing the sky gradually getting darker, Uchiha Chen took Mikoto and Himeji and set up camp a little far away from the battlefield.
After patrolling the surroundings for a while and setting up many traps and Summoning Snake, he returned with a Pidgeot.
"Here, this is tonight's dinner." Uchiha Chen handed the prey in his hand to Mikoto.
Mikoto nodded, then took Pidgeot like a little daughter-in-law, and turned around to handle the food nearby.
Himeji, who was setting up a tent, saw this scene and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say yesterday not to light open fires near Beika Town?"
"Yes." Uchiha Chen nodded, then used Earth Style to create a bench and sat on it.
"So you want to ask, why did I ask Mikoto to make dinner instead of eating solid food?"
"Yeah." Himeji did not stop moving his hands, and at the same time he tilted his ears to listen to the boy's explanation.
Uchiha Chen smiled and said, "Because I haven't encountered the enemy before, I don't know the situation here, so I have to be cautious.
But it's different now. We are fighting such big fluctuations. If there are Mist Ninja around, they have already discovered us, and there is no need to hide anymore.
What's more, I want them to attack now. How can they find us without leaving any traces! "
Soon, he explained all the doubtful points about this mission.
Himeji said thoughtfully, "You want to test the reality."
"Yes." Uchiha Chen nodded. "I have placed a large number of Summoning Snake around. If there are many Mist Ninja, we will evacuate. If there are not many, we will deal with them directly.
In short, it won't be a problem to light a bonfire tonight. If you can live a more comfortable life, why should you eat dry food, right? "
Himeji hummed slightly, and then started to set up the tent again. Only now did she realize that she still had a lot to learn.
But... I am obviously three years older than the boy, why is there such a big gap?
"By the way, Himeji, I have something to ask you." After a while, Uchiha Chen said suddenly.
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Do you know the Kaguya Clan ninja just now? I think he is at least Elite Jonin, and his status in the Kaguya Clan should be high..."
Himeji thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. Although we Hyuga Clan and Kaguya Clan have been friends for generations, it was more before Warring States Period.
Since the establishment of the village, the exchanges between the two sides have not been so frequent. The last time I saw the ninja of the Kaguya Clan was five years ago. "
"Five years ago?"
"Well, there was a family ceremony, and my eldest brother was made Main Family Young Clan Head, and my second brother was made Branch Family Young Clan Head... They came to congratulate me."
"That's it." Uchiha Chen squinted and thought for a moment, then continued to ask:
"By the way, why have you Hyuga Clan been friends with such a violent family for generations?"
Himeji shook his head. "I'm not very sure. This is the ancestral motto of the family for generations. The Kaguya family also has similar ancestral precepts. Does your family not have it?"
Uchiha Chen scratched his hair in embarrassment, then smiled and said, "Yes, destroy Senju Clan."
"..."
"Haha, it's not difficult to understand. After all, the two races have been fighting for thousands of years. It was only after the village was built that this hatred slowly dissipated."
While the two were talking, Mikoto, who had taken care of Pidgeot, came over. She put the food on the shelf and sat down side by side with Uchiha Chen.
Immediately afterwards, she took out a Scroll from Ninja Pouch. After opening Hand Seals, a large bag of specially made materials appeared in her hand.
Uchiha Chen stopped talking and quickly used the Fire Release seal to control the amount of chakra and raise a flame on the ground.
Mikoto used branches to spread Pidgeot and placed it on the campfire to bake. As time passed, the golden color and overflowing aroma made Uchiha Chen, who had been hungry for a while, swallow his saliva.
At this time, Himeji, who had set up the tent, came over. After washing his hands with water, he sat down on the side of Mikoto.
"Okay, dinner is ready."
Although it was just a simple barbecue, Mikoto had many years of experience in cooking. Anyway, Uchiha Chen will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't eat her cooking for a day.
Therefore, Nawaki often said in the past that this is a disease of wealth and must be cured!
However, Uchiha Chen ignored such sour words.
After all, Nawaki is a standard lemon person.
