Lin Ze touched his chin and looked at Six-Eared Monkey.
He recalled the various myths and legends he had seen in his previous life. Hokage World had already become "Adamantine Staff" from Enma, which could be regarded as taking over the name of "Adamantine Staff".
Regarding Six Ears macaque's "Xi Xin Die-hard Soldier", he felt that the name was a little less meaningful than Haki.
Suddenly, another famous monkey and its weapon flashed in his mind - Long-Armed Ape, which can hold the sun and moon, shrink thousands of mountains, distinguish between good and bad, and manipulate the universe.
Its magic weapon is named "Blood-Melting Wrought-Iron Staff", also known as "Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar"!
'Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillar...Qingtian...'
Lin Ze's eyes lit up. This name not only Haki, but also coincides with its potential to transform into a weapon in the future, and it has a very good meaning.
The more I thought about it, the more suitable it seemed to me, so I squatted down, looked at Six-Eared Monkey, and announced in an unquestionable tone:
"From now on, your name will be Qingtian!"
The little ape was obviously stunned for a moment, and then shouted "Zhizhi!" twice, as if he wanted to express something.
When Lin Ze saw this, he thought it liked the name very much, so he smiled and nodded:
"Hmm? Do you think this name is good too?"
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The little ape screamed more eagerly, and even waved its little paw.
"Oh, you like it very much? Then it's settled, from now on you will be called Qingtian."
Lin Ze patted its head with satisfaction and made the final decision directly.
"Squeak~..."
The little ape, no, it should be called Qingtian now. It looked at the human talking to itself in front of it, and finally let out a helpless cry, finally recognizing the name.
It actually wanted to tell Lin Ze just now that it originally had a name, which was given to it by its mother a long time ago.
But obviously, Lin Ze didn't understand its "monkey language" at all.
'Forget it, my mother is gone, let that name stay in the past with her. The name "Qingtian"... sounds really powerful and majestic! It sounds much better than "Big Strong" and "Quick Foot" in the ethnic group!'
Qingtian thought silently in his heart.
It quickly adjusted its mentality and even started to like the new name a little bit.
It pushed out its thin chest, as if the name had given it some strength.
Lin Ze found it interesting watching the little monkey's reaction. Through Contract, he could vaguely feel the other person's emotional changes from a little helpless to acceptance to liking.
'The wisdom is indeed not low. If you cultivate it well, it will be a big help in the future.'
He glanced at the direction of the cave again and conveyed a clear idea to Qingtian through Contract:
"Take care of that Xiao Bai guy, hide him, and wait for me to come back."
Qingtian immediately nodded vigorously to express his understanding. Although it was thin and small, its eyes were extremely firm, and it seemed that taking care of Little White Tiger was the first important task assigned to it by Lin Ze.
Lin Ze no longer hesitated, exerted force on his feet, his figure flashed a few times, and then quickly moved away from the area, speeding away in the direction of Konoha.
He needed to rush back to the village as soon as possible to report on the mission, and at the same time prepare some more suitable medicine and food for the treatment of the Little White Tiger. After all, his blood didn't seem to have an obvious effect on the little guy, and he couldn't keep feeding blood.
In the forest, only Six-Eared Little Monkey, who was newly named "Qingtian", was left. It clumsily held the still unconscious Little White Tiger, looked around cautiously, and then carefully got into a more hidden tree hole it had just discovered, and began its first "guarding" mission.
It doesn't know the heavy expectations and Haki meaning behind the name "Qingtian", but it likes this name and the human who gave it Newly Awakened and its name.
Perhaps one day, it will really be worthy of the name "Qingtian" and become a powerful existence that can support a whole world.
Konoha, Hokage Office.
Lin Ze traveled quickly without any setbacks. After getting injured, he rushed to Hokage Building as soon as possible.
At this moment, the office was filled with smoke, and Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was working on documents at his desk.
"Lord Hokage."
Lin Ze knelt on one knee, and the sound came out through Aoda Mask, which was slightly dull.
"Get up, Aoda."
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head, put down Pipe and said slowly:
"How is the mission going? Why are you back alone? Where are Fox and the others?"
Lin Ze stood up and gave a brief and concise report, which was half true and half false:
"The mission went smoothly at the beginning, and three suspected supply points were locked. However, when we finally confirmed the camp located in the southeast of Valley, we were ambushed by Kumogakure Elite Forces'Crow'. The leader was Elite Jōnin Black Crow. He recognized my mask, which seemed to be revenge for the incident involving the Toroi team."
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned:
"'Crow' troops? Black Crow? Why are they there?"
Lin Ze replied calmly:
"I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or an intelligence leak. The opponent has a strong lineup, one Elite Jōnin, five Jōnin, and six Special Jōnin. We were forced to disperse and break out, Fox Captain broke off and diverted some of the pursuers. Gray Wolf and Night Owl and I were going in different directions. I was chased by the main force led by Black Crow all the way, and finally got rid of them at sea and took a detour to return."
He deliberately blurred the process of "escape" and only said that he got away by luck by taking advantage of the sea environment and the underestimation of the enemy by Black Crow and others.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi briefly glanced at the injuries on Lin Ze's body, he said solemnly:
"Black Crow... is the senior captain of team Kumogakure Intelligence Department. He is ruthless. It is not easy for you to escape from him."
He did not doubt what Lin Ze said. After all, it was a miracle that an 11-year-old boy, no matter how talented he was, could escape from the encirclement and suppression by the team led by Elite Jōnin!
Totally annihilating the opponent? That is simply a fantasy.
"I'm afraid your mission has been exposed, and the clues to the 'Thunderclap' unit will most likely be interrupted."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and continued:
"I will hand over the follow-up investigation to other teams. You Squad B-5 have worked hard on this mission. Go down and rest. I will immediately send someone to assist Fox and them."
"Yes."
Lin Ze lowered his head and responded, feeling slightly relieved that this level had been passed.
As for the news that Black Crow and others were annihilated, Konoha could not reach him in a short time. However, after this battle, he must be more cautious when facing Kumogakure in the future.
Black Crow and his group died chasing him. If they say that this matter has nothing to do with him, they will not believe it.
It is conceivable that when the news comes back to Kumogakure, Lin Ze will definitely be included in Kumogakure's must-kill list. As long as he steps into Kumogakure's sphere of influence in the future, he will probably be hunted down.
As for Konoha, even if the news of Black Crow's death is known in the future, Hiruzen Sarutobi will most likely be more inclined to believe that it was Kirigakure from the east - after all, Lin Ze is too young, and no one will easily destroy an elite force that can compete with Kage Level and associate it with a teenager.
