Watching the Ninja Dog, whose spellcasting had been interrupted, bury its head again, stick out its rear end, and wag its tail.
Meeting the two people's questioning gazes.
Inuzuka Furin's soft, sweet voice rang out, explaining, " Uka-kun, Kaun, the Brown and White -haired man's scent and Chakra seem very familiar."
"It should be Shimei, Ze, and Kafumi!"
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Aburame Kaun who had been releasing insects with her eyes closed, immediately opened her eyes while continuing to release the insects.
He said with some surprise, "So the three of them came here on missions?"
Several friends heard the results of the Brown and White differentiation.
Uka Senju's face also showed obvious surprise.
He hadn't seen these friends for a long time, and he had been thinking of seeing them again when he returned to the village this time.
Who knew we'd run into this during a mission?
Turning his head to Kaun, who was releasing the insects, he smiled and said, "Use your senses to confirm the route. Should we wait or go find them? My magic senses that there seem to be quite a lot of people over there."
"Okay!"
Nodding, the Aburame Kaun smiled and closed her eyes again.
A procession consisting of six carriages and more than fifty foot warriors, each wielding a long sword, positioned at the front and back.
We're hurrying along the winding mountain road!
Suddenly, a black Ninja Dog that had been lying on the front of the carriage (which had no sidecar) stood up and barked at the four people beside it. "Woof woof woof!"
I heard the sound of Ninja Dog.
Kurama Shimei and Hatake Kobun, who had been sitting cross-legged to rest, immediately stood up, gripped their weapons, and showed a defensive expression.
The middle-aged man who was lying down to rest rolled off the car and squatted down, sticking his left index and middle fingers into the ground.
But Inuzuka Sawa, who was resting next to him, showed a look of surprise on his face.
The four were at the very front.
The people following behind were influenced by their actions.
They also responded immediately!
The warrior guards on foot immediately drew their weapons and retreated to the vicinity of the carriages to stand guard.
Some people in the carriages could be heard exclamations and whispers.
This convoy departed from a border city between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, having been invited to attend a banquet in the Capital of the Land of Fire!
On this journey that almost traverses the Land of Fire.
This wasn't the first time they'd heard that black Ninja Dog bark.
But almost every time he shouted, an unexpected situation would occur.
Of course, this team of Konoha Ninja was there.
They have weathered any unexpected situations safely so far!
But he was a bodyguard paid for by the caravan owner.
Upon hearing the warning, they immediately took action.
However, there are Ninja masters present.
All these actions are merely a display of their attitude!
Just as the convoy stopped moving and became somewhat flustered due to these actions,
Noticing the surprise on his teammates' faces Kazuma.
Kurama Shimei immediately guessed the ingredients in the Ninja Dog's hint.
It seems the person arriving isn't an enemy, but rather a friend or something else entirely!
So, he put away his Kunai, waved to the samurai behind him to indicate that everything was alright, and continued onward.
The people behind him looked on with puzzled but obedient eyes and gestures.
Seeing the Senju Clan instructor withdraw his hand from the ground and his smiling teammates, he quickly asked, " Fukami, Mr. Sawa, who's coming from the front?"
"It's Uka and the other three!" Inuzuka Sawa replied immediately before the teacher could speak.
Having his answer stolen by a student, Senju Fukami swallowed back the words he was about to utter. " Wood Release and the Wood Release Guard Squad."
Yes, in his perception, apart from the Wood Release Squad.
There were also other members of the Senju Clan who suddenly flashed Senju signal in the nearby forest, as if to greet each other.
Since Danze has already answered, let's leave this information, which is optional, unmentioned.
In any case, it doesn't really matter whether the students know about those people or not.
After hearing Ze's answer, I confirmed it with the teacher.
As he nodded with a smile, Kurama Shimei also smiled.
After that dinner party, everyone returned to their Clan and began special training.
I haven't seen Uka in a long time.
He had only met Furin and Kaun once, during the team selection process.
There wasn't even a chance to catch up on old friends in that situation. I had planned to find an opportunity to see them when I got back, since they were all going on missions.
I never expected that!
To think we'd run into them during a mission!
"Did they stay where they were or come over?"
Are you on the same route as us?
"It's been so long since I've seen Furin. I need to ask her how her mission went!"
Hatake Kobun, who has always had a cold personality, with light brown eyes, silver hair, and a black Combat Uniform, suddenly asked her teacher and teammates a series of questions, contrary to her usual behavior.
Besides these two teammates, there were other childhood classmates and friends, especially her two best friends, Furin and Harumi.
She hadn't seen these people for a year and a half!
Because of her limited abilities and special skills, she didn't even have the chance to participate in the assessment and meet other people like Shimei.
After all, Bunkei is from the same Clan, so when choosing teammates for Wood Release, no matter how hard you look, you won't be able to pick her!
Hearing his friend's questions and understanding his thoughts, Inuzuka Sawa smiled and said, "They probably noticed us too, and are waiting here!"
"At our current speed, we should be able to get there in another twenty minutes."
Aside from Furin, who was from the same clan, he hadn't seen the other two for a long time.
Therefore, before Kafumi asked, he had already confirmed this information with his Ninja Dog.
Upon hearing this, he put the dagger he had just taken out back.
A very obvious look of happiness appeared on Hatake Kobun's face.
Hearing his two teammates talking, Kurama Shimei turned his questioning gaze to the teacher who got back into the car.
He noticed his disciple's gaze and understood his question and meaning.
Wearing the Senju Combat Uniform, Senju Fukami nodded with great satisfaction.
These three disciples were the students the Clan had assigned to him this time.
Because of the current relationship between the various tribes, he has been teaching with great care.
The relationship between the two is that of teacher and student, not just a typical team leader and member!
Meeting friends during a mission is a good thing, and you can go and see them.
But we must not forget the mission itself!
Clearly, at this moment, only Kurama Shimei remembers to prioritize the mission.
The other two little ones are so happy they've completely forgotten about this!
For this reason alone, these two little guys will need some extra special training after this mission ends.
I thought about my goal for today's journey, since I had previously used my Sensory Technique to check the surrounding situation.
After glancing at the convoy that had resumed its journey, Senju Fukami spoke up before Shimei could ask, "It will take the convoy about twenty minutes to reach Uka's location."
"If you want to get together, then go now!"
"With the convoy, the employer might not be able to give us that much time later."
