Unlike Guang, Ino knows a little bit about the internal affairs of Hyuga and Kumogakure.
Fourth Raikage is indeed a good gift for Hyuga Hiashi.
"Ino, are you here?"
"It's Shikamaru, applying to let Shino go to the junction of Land of Rain and Land of Bears. I'm here to deliver the mission letter."
Hearing this, Naruto frowned.
Why does Shikamaru suddenly need Shino's help?
Logically speaking, Sasuke with Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is enough to sweep away Small Country like Land of Bears and Land of Demons over there.
Although the strength of Shino is in the middle and upper reaches among several friends, it definitely cannot beat Sasuke.
That is searching for people or things.
The olfactory tracking capabilities of Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru are already the capabilities of Sensing in the middle and upper reaches of Shinobi World. Byakugan of Neji Hyuga regains the 360-degree perspective and long-distance detection capabilities.
If you can't even find the tooth's nose or Byakugan's Neji.
Then, Shino and Insect Secret Technique become a better choice.
"Let's go together. It just so happens that I also meet Shino."
The three of them came outside Shino's classroom. Shino was completely different from his usual silent image.
It's still the high-collared coat, with sunglasses covering his eyes. The collar is pulled up to the bottom of the bridge of his nose, hiding most of his face.
This outfit is exactly the same as the impression he gave when he was a student.
But the man standing on the podium at this moment was completely different from his inherent silent image.
Shino's voice came clearly through the crack in the door, smooth and clear, and even had a rhythmic rhythm that was rare in ordinary times.
He was no longer the Young Naruto who always lowered his head slightly, as if to shrink himself into the shadows. He stood in the center of the podium with his back straight. Although most of his face was covered, you could feel that his eyes were scanning every student in the audience.
Whenever a student asks a question, Shino will patiently stop, listen carefully, and then give a detailed answer, while also encouraging the child.
"Shino seems to be enjoying it!"
Naruto gently placed Sleep Coffin on his shoulder against the wall of the corridor.
He looked at the figure on the podium through the glass window, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin with a smile that was sincerely happy for his companions. Blue Eyes's eyes shone with warmth.
He remembered Shino during the Ninja Academy period.
At that time, Shino spoke very little, and his presence was so low that sometimes he was even ignored accidentally.
He is not incompetent, nor does he care about his companions, he is just accustomed to dealing with the world with silence and observation.
After becoming Genin, experiencing mission after mission, and fighting side by side with his companions, Shino has changed and become more reliable, but his calm and reserved temperament has always been his background.
Unexpectedly, when I became a teacher and stood in front of a group of curious children, imparting the Insect Secret Technique knowledge that I was best at and loved the most, Shino would glow with such a different kind of brilliance.
Ino also smiled and nodded, softly agreeing, "Yes, he is very engaged in speaking, and the children also like him very much." She could feel that standing on this podium, Shino found a unique sense of value and satisfaction that belonged to him.
Guang stood in the corridor, looking away from Shino who was in high spirits in the classroom, and turned to Naruto.
"Would you like to take a look at Hanabi?"
She is not familiar with Hyuga Hiashi and Shino Aburame.
Staying here is more about accompanying Naruto.
But Hanabi is different.
The little daughter of the Hyuga Clan has a lively and smart personality, and is occasionally a little cunning. In her several contacts with Guang, she showed frankness and curiosity, which made Guang find it quite interesting, and she even felt as close to her as if she were seeing her younger sister.
She missed that quirky little girl a little bit.
Naruto heard this, his eyes moved slightly.
There was a gentle smile on his face, but then he shook his head.
"You and Ino should go first," he pointed at the Sleep Coffin that was still leaning against the wall in the shadow, and his tone was calm but with an unchangeable determination, "I'll give this thing away first."
He came back with this Sleep Coffin loaded with Fourth Raikage, not to catch up with old classmates or simply visit the younger generation. He had a more direct and urgent purpose.
Looking again at the classroom where Hiashi was teaching, a sharp light flashed in Naruto's eyes. He came back this time, ostensibly to give gifts, but actually to find a key clue - the road to the moon.
"Then Shino's letter is also yours, Naruto."
Before Ino left, he also handed the official mission letter to Shino to Naruto.
She and Guang went to find Hanabi, and they happened to be able to hand over Scroll with Hokage Robe sealed to Hanabi, and ask Hanabi to hand it over to Hinata to continue embroidery.
"Well, okay."
Naruto readily took the mission letter, nodded to Ino, glanced at the mission letter, and confirmed the content. Then, he watched the figures of the two female companions disappear at the corner of the corridor, and their footsteps were gradually drowned out by the faint noise of the playground in the distance.
The corridor became quiet again, leaving only the clear sound of Shino's lecture in the classroom.
Time passed minute by minute.
When Shino was taking a break, Naruto knocked on the classroom door without any hesitation.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A clear knock on the door interrupted the silence at the end of the classroom.
Shino on the podium paused in his voice and turned his head slightly to look at the door, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes behind his sunglasses.
Who will come at this time?
He adjusted his sunglasses and responded in a steady voice, "Please come in."
"Squeak--"
With a sound, the classroom door was pushed open.
The first thing that catches the eye is the iconic Golden hair that is so brilliant that it seems to dispel all the haze, and then the familiar face with a warm smile.
"It's Lord Hokage!"
"Wow! It's Sixth!"
After a brief silence, the children in the classroom instantly recognized the identity of the person who came. Their suppressed excitement was like lit firecrackers, and the cheers and exclamations almost overturned the ceiling.
Most of these young Ninja students regard Naruto Uzumaki as a legend and idol. Seeing Hokage live in class with their own eyes is indescribable.
Shino was also obviously stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Naruto to appear at this point in time.
He habitually raised his collar, but then put it down again, returning to his calm posture as a teacher, but with a little surprise and respect in his tone. "Naruto...Lord Hokage."
Naruto responded to the children's cheers with a big, signature sunny smile, and then walked straight to the podium.
Without much greeting, he directly handed the sealed mission letter to Shino and whispered, "Shikamaru needs you over there. Urgent mission, the border between Land of Rain and Land of Bears."
Shino took the task book and quickly glanced at the contents, his eyes slightly focused behind his sunglasses.
He didn't ask any more questions, just nodded. "I understand."
Naruto finished handing over the task and then turned his attention to the young students in the audience who were still excited and uncontrollable.
The smile on his face did not diminish, but he raised an index finger and put it gently in front of his lips, making a gesture of silence. The clear Blue Eyes eyes were smiling, but there was an invisible aura that spread, quickly quieting down the noisy classroom.
"Sh--"
His voice was not loud, but it reached every child's ears clearly, "Your teacher Shino has an important task temporarily, so...
You can leave school early."
"Yeah!"
Some children couldn't help but cheer again.
Naruto immediately pretended to be serious, but the smile in his eyes betrayed him, "Don't shout! If anyone shouts..."
He deliberately prolonged his tone and glanced at the little faces that suddenly became nervous, "Then we won't let school go early, and it will be a self-study class. I will personally supervise and review all the content taught by teacher Shino today, and there will be random checks."
This sentence is more effective than any ban.
The cheers that were about to start just now were instantly strangled in his throat.
The children's eyes widened one by one, and they desperately covered their mouths with their hands, fearing that any sound would leak out, and shook their little heads like Rattle, indicating that they would definitely stop shouting.
