At dusk, the sun slanted like a dull old man.
The four shadows on the tree were stretched out. The dusk in July still has a hint of dryness.
Wind Blow Crossing the mountains and fields, the orange dusk is very peaceful.
My feet stepped on the branches, and as the leaves swayed, the sunlight seemed to sway with it.
A group of ninjas wearing yellow ninja uniforms kept jumping between the big trees.
There were four people in total, three men and one woman.
The leader was a ninja wearing black-rimmed glasses. He wears a turban and has a mole under his left eye.
The remaining three people are all teenagers.
At a glance, it can be seen that these people are all ninjas, but none of them are carrying Forehead Protector.
Sakata Jonin is the Squad Leader Jonin of this team.
Their team has been stationed at the border with the army for a week.
Rumors of war have been circulating around for a long time.
It's just that the village's senior officials have always allowed such rumors to go unchecked.
Land of Rain and Land of Grass have reached a stalemate.
Now the war only needs a trigger. Most of the ninjas in the village were excited now. They have survived in this poor soil for too long. They desperately need fertile land.
A few days ago, their team suddenly received a A-rank Mission.
In the mission, Sakamoto was ordered to take his team from Land of Rivers to Land of Fire.
They are going to find a group of Land of Rain ninjas in Land of Fire.
It may sound complicated, especially in today's tense environment.
An accident may cause Ninja World War.
Therefore, their team put on clothes without the Sunagakure logo and crossed Land of Rivers to reach Land of Fire.
Several days of running around had made several people very tired.
The black-haired boy on the far left couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Sakamoto, the information shows that the other party has two Jonin."
"Are we enough?" He looked around.
After all, except for teacher Sakamoto and Jonin, the rest of this team are Genin, one of whom is also a reconnaissance ninja.
Sakamoto Jonin at the front smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. This mission involves more than just our team."
"There is another team that set off before us. So, after you find those ninjas, just send the signal. There are not many people around here, so you don't have to worry about being discovered by the Land of Fire ninjas."
"And-"
Teacher Sakamoto pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, and then said in a confident tone, "Kimura Genin, you have to keep one thing in mind. I can easily solve two Jonins by myself, no matter who the other party is."
"... Teacher Sakamoto, why are you so confident?" Kimura continued to ask, but the admiration in his heart could no longer be concealed.
"If you choose the path of ninja, the road under your feet will be very narrow, and you may feel uneasy. Then your self-confidence will gradually begin to waver. At this time, if you even become unconfident in yourself, then death will not be far away from you."
"And-"
A glint flashed in Sakamoto's eyes, "I am Sakamoto!"
Kimura has turned into a super little fanboy at this time.
Sakamoto glanced out of the corner of his eye and realized that the student on his right was a little unusual.
So he asked, "Watanabe, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, Teacher Sakamoto. It's just that the environment here is really humid. I feel like I'm going to get wet." Watanabe complained.
"I've only been here for a few days and I feel uncomfortable all over. Even though it's sunny now, it's still the driest in our village. I hate water!" Watanabe continued.
"Tch, what does this mean? If you go to Land of Rain, it rains every day." Kimura replied.
"So, our Hidden Sand Village has the best weather. Not only is it dry, but we don't need to take a shower. I hate water." Watanabe thought for a while and said seriously.
For a moment, several people nodded in agreement. It felt good not to have to take a shower.
"By the way, Teacher Sakamoto, have you been to Konoha?" Watanabe asked.
Sakamoto, who was leading the way at the front, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and was about to answer.
His little fan Kimura said as a matter of course, "Of course I have been there. Is there any place Five Great Nations, teacher Sakamoto has not been to?"
"How is that possible?"
"How is it impossible? Even if teachers Hokage Building and Sakamoto want to take a look, it's very casual."
Watanabe turns into a super fan boy.
"Ahem, okay." Teacher Sakamoto said, after all, this was a bit too pretentious.
"You two guys! We are currently on a mission in Land of Fire."
"The information this time was obtained by the village after all the hard work. We are determined to get this Gold Mine."
"Daimyo has always wanted to deprive us of our finances. Obtaining this Gold Mine can greatly relieve our financial pressure. So, you must take it seriously."
Suddenly the girl at the end who had been silent raised her hand.
"What's wrong, Manase. Did you find anything?" Sakamoto Jonin asked.
"In front, chakra, ninja." The girl's words were brief.
The girl spoke in this style, but all three people understood her.
Sakamoto Jonin began to raise his hands to signal.
The three people spread out, surrounding Sensor Ninja, the only one in the team.
"It seems that we discovered Land of Rain's ninja first. I didn't expect this mission to be so simple." Sakamoto smiled.
"Get ready to fight." Sakata Jonin said.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Chen stood next to the tent.
"Mikoto, what's going on?"
Uchiha Chen, who had just returned from several surveillance routes, came to the place where they were stationed after recording the information.
"No, everything is quiet. There is no sound of the trap being triggered or any sign of contact. Even the snakes are silent."
"Then get ready to call it a day." Uchiha Chen clapped his hands.
"We just need to wait for teacher Orochimaru's notification before we can go back."
Kushina and Mikoto began to pack up the surrounding tents.
"Since there's nothing going on here, I'll look ahead." Uchiha Chen prepared to walk further along the avenue.
"Okay, be careful on the road." Nawaki nodded.
The most important thing for a ninja is vigilance, and they didn't say anything.
Suddenly, Big White of Uchiha Chen popped up, and she started buzzing in Uchiha Chen's ears.
Uchiha Chen's face suddenly turned ugly.
"What's wrong?" Mikoto asked.
"Big White said that chakra fluctuations were coming from nearby." Uchiha Chen said.
"Is it Land of Rain's ninja?" Nawaki asked.
"No, it's coming from the direction Land of Rivers!"
"What?!"
Mikoto Kushina They showed surprised expressions.
Their mission this time is to transport the team of Land of Rain to Gold Mine.
Their detection range is also a small distance from Land of Fire to Land of Rain.
They wouldn't be a little surprised if Land of Rain's ninja appeared.
But after they waited for so long, they did not wait for the ninja from Land of Rain. They did wait for the ninja from the direction of Land of Rivers.
You must know that Land of Rivers is sandwiched between Land of Fire and Land of Sand.
Now if ninjas appear from Land of Rivers, then the identities of these ninjas are self-evident...
