"Yu-kun... and Kakashi-kun... are so awesome."
"Not only Ninjutsu, but also the swordsmanship..."
Nohara Rin breathed a long sigh of relief and clenched the ninja bag next to him a little nervously, his palms full of sweat.
As a graduate of the same batch, she felt that the gap between herself and the two geniuses in front of her was not as big as usual. Especially Mikami Yu, who was obviously not very impressive a few months ago, but now, it has begun to make her feel like she is standing high, and her progress is so fast, it's like she is dreaming.
If this continues, Nohara Rin is very worried that he will become a burden to the team.
next to.
Obito didn't think so much. He turned over and jumped up, shouting, "Substitute, replace! Yuu's knife is broken, it's my turn to hit Kakashi!"
"..."
Kakashi originally wanted to go back and rest for a while, but when he heard Obito's voice, he paused and sighed, "Come on. If you can hold on in my hand for two minutes, you will win."
"?"
With Obito and Kakashi entangled together.
Mikami Yu went back to the side and sat down next to Nohara Rin.
"Lin, how do you feel about practicing climbing trees with Water Walking?"
"Well, it's a little better than yesterday. I can climb the tree to half the height without falling. Water Walking... It's still a bit difficult to maintain balance. The flow of Chakra is not stable."
Nohara Rin whispered.
"Do it again and let me see."
Mikami Yu said.
See Mikami Yu opening,
Nohara Rin stood up, covered the soles of his feet with Chakra, and walked two steps into the stream next to him with his bare feet. Sure enough, his body swayed, and Chakra was in a mess under his feet. He stepped into the water with a plop, and was pulled from behind by Mikami Yu, so that he did not get wet all over.
"It's still a problem of uneven distribution of Chakra."
Mikami Yu stretched out his fingers and touched Lin's ankles and calves, "Your muscles here, here, and here were too tense, which will lead to poor circulation of Chakra. Relax, and output Chakra from the Yongquan point on the sole of the foot, evenly covering the entire sole of the foot, imagining that it is like a soft cushion supporting you."
"Well..."
Nohara Rin responded, her wet white toes curling up unnaturally, as if she was a little embarrassed by this contact.
But then, she still followed Mikami Yu's instructions, worked hard to relax her tight calf muscles, adjusted the Chakra output, and tried again.
How to say...
In the past few days, the lives of Mikami Yu and the others can be said to be quite monotonous.
Every day is just eating, sleeping, and taking naps Kakashi.
I also took the time to make a dozen D-rank Mission.
The tasks range from cleaning up debris in rivers, to helping villagers find lost pets, to assisting in repairing walls, harvesting herbs, cleaning up Training Ground, and catching wild boars that damage farmland... It can be described as colorful Eight Gates.
Although Obito has strong opinions on this and believes that with his own strength, he should not waste time on these ordinary tasks, but Namikaze Minato has implemented the requirements, and Kakashi has been steadily suppressing Obito, so the team can basically maintain stability.
Today, Namikaze Minato came once in the morning, but was called away midway. It seemed that there was something going on over there at Hokage Building. So only a few of Mikami Yu were left, training here by themselves.
In fact, Mikami Yuya is determined to leave the village. After all, he still has the task of "clearing the name of Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu". However, since Obito and Nohara Rin are not very strong, and Water Walking has not even practiced climbing trees, so he can only wait...
"Bang--!!"
The figure of Obito flew high and landed on the ground not far from Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin.
"One minute and forty-nine seconds, I lasted five seconds longer than last time."
Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and said to Obito from a distance, "With your current strength, what you should consider is not when to leave the village, but how to prevent yourself from lagging behind. Otherwise, when the mission goes awry, Mikami Yu and I will be distracted to protect you."
"What did you say?! Who wants your protection!"
Obito jumped in anger.
Just when Kakashi curled his lips and was about to continue taunting a few more words, a pale golden light flickered not far away, and then a familiar figure appeared there, and it was Namikaze Minato who had disappeared for most of the day.
"Kakashi, how about it?"
"Minato-sensei..."
Seeing Namikaze Minato coming over, Kakashi went over to report today's progress.
The latter listened patiently, then glanced at Mikami Yu and the others with a gentle smile, "It seems that everyone is training very seriously, so I'm relieved. I originally wanted you to consolidate the foundation for a few more days, but now there happens to be C-rank Mission. Do you have confidence?"
"C-rank Mission?"
Want to leave the village??
Mikami Yu and Obito's eyes lit up at the same time.
Mikami Yu is happy to do the task of "Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu".
But Obito is simply too ambitious and wants to become fat in one bite.
Only Kakashi frowned slightly and noticed something amiss. "Minato-sensei, is this... too fast? A regular Genin team usually has to go through a running-in period of more than half a month before they consider leaving the village for a mission."
The smile on Namikaze Minato's face faded a little, and he sighed softly, "Yes, this is the case under normal circumstances.
"But you also feel it, right? There has been a significant increase in the number of wounded in the village recently, and the intelligence at the border... is not very optimistic. We may not have that much time to prepare step by step, and we need to form an effective combat force before a worse situation comes."
The atmosphere instantly became a little more solemn.
Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin have been to Konoha Hospital and know what Namikaze Minato said.
Kakashi just came back from outside the village not long ago.
Even Obito, who was slow to respond, felt something was wrong and stopped complaining.
see the situation,
Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "But don't worry. Because of the existence of Kakashi and Yuu, the average strength of our team is stronger than the average Genin team, and C-rank Mission usually does not encounter hostile ninjas, so I decided to give it a try.
"Don't worry, if we encounter unexpected situations, I'm quite confident in bringing you back to Konoha."
Now.
Namikaze Minato took out the mission scroll and circulated it to several people in Mikami Yu.
The mission content is to escort medical personnel and supplies to Land of Fire Border.
Departure time is the day after tomorrow.
When seeing this mission, Mikami Yu subconsciously thought of his father who was on duty at the border. He didn't know what his current situation was like. Judging from the time, his rotation should be about to end...
"That's the basic situation."
Namikaze Minato said, "You guys should finish your training and go back early today. You don't have to do any tasks tomorrow. You can take a rest and pack your things. Although you are C-rank Mission, it is still dangerous and you may encounter emergencies. Remember to bring enough ninja gear."
"Meet at the entrance of the village at seven o'clock the day after tomorrow."
"Okay."
Mikami Yu Several people nodded in agreement.
Until Namikaze Minato leaves,
Kakashi glanced at Mikami Yu and said casually, "Hey, Mikami. Are you interested in knife skills?"
