Naruto's Stormy Seas

Chapter 272 Recruitment and Defense

Early the next morning, some candidates had gradually arrived here.Gai also came to the Devil's Desert stronghold as the guide Jonin.

Qingyang has been secretly observing everything around him in his room since he woke up. Of course, another reason is that he really doesn't like the climate in the desert, and he doesn't want to expose himself to the scorching sun for a long time. Down.

In addition to the mysterious Taki Shinobi trio, the first team to come here is Neji's third squad.Standing outside the gate of the stronghold, Ning Ci, Xiao Li, and Tian Tian supported their legs and panted heavily.From Konoha to the Desert of Demons, normal ninjas need to walk for three days, but they only took half of the time and arrived here within 36 hours.

"Huh, I'm really tired, can we go in and have a rest now?"

Wiping the sweat from her forehead every day, the continuous long-distance raids made even her very tired.

"Hey, you guys are really fast."

At this time, Qingyang suddenly appeared in front of Tiantian and startled her.

"Ah? Senior Qingyang? Why are you here?"

When she saw clearly that it was Qingyang, she greeted Tiantian a little shyly, after all, as a girl, it seemed indecent that she had been bending over and panting all the time just now.

"Yoho~, it's Qingyang, you came really fast!"

Kai who was next to him saw Qingyang appearing, and immediately ran over at a brisk pace, greeting him enthusiastically.Kai is very interested in Qingyang, a young man who will grow up at a rocket speed within a few years, but he has no intention of competing with Qingyang in his heart. After all, in his opinion, Qingyang pays too much attention to those fancy ninjutsu. But he didn't calm down to polish his physical skills, so he didn't appear to be tough at all.

"Yes, Mr. Kai. My main job here is to be in charge of the overall security work and the communication between Sand Hidden and our guide Jonin."

Qingyang answered Kai politely. Although Kai usually behaved carefree and independent in the village, Qingyang never underestimated Kai.In his view, Kai was like a huge beast that was dormant and waiting to attack at any time. His muscles, which were strong but not exaggerated, hid an unimaginable power.

"Oh, that's right. Hong and Asma are still on the way. They protect the candidates along the way in the rear team and are also in charge of proctoring the elimination. Oh!"

Speaking of this, Kai suddenly hit his palm with his fist as if suddenly realizing it.This quick start startled Qingyang.

"There's also the guide Jōnin of Yanyin Village, that young Jōnin called what? He's about the same age as you, and he's also a great young man, but unfortunately his body looks a little too thin. He's also a thin type. I think you should have a common language, right?"

Kai was talking to himself here, but he didn't notice that Qingyang's face was already black.Now Qingyang finally understands why no one in the village is willing to talk to Kai. It's not just because of Kai's strange taste, but more importantly, Kai's words really make people's liver hurt.

This short paragraph is full of so many angry things, let’s not talk about whether it’s impolite to forget someone’s name, even if Kai can misread the other’s gender, Qingyang can guarantee it If Heitu found out, he would definitely fight Kai desperately.Of course, for Qingyang, what angered him the most was the sentence "also as a thin and thin type". His apparently very well-proportioned figure turned into "thin and thin" in Kai's mouth.

Tian Tian at the side seemed to see Qingyang's displeasure, and hastily stopped his teacher who was still thinking about it, and pulled him aside.Only then did Neji have the opportunity to come and talk to Qingyang.

"Minister Qingyang, you are here."

Neji is a person who is not good at expressing emotions. Being able to say such words at this time shows that he has already recognized Qingyang as a ninja worthy of his respect.Qingyang smiled gratifiedly, and patted Ning Ci on the shoulder.

"Very well, I have seen your performance in the first test. You have indeed grown a lot, and I am looking forward to your performance in the next selection. At the same time, I also hope that you will succeed in the promotion After that, you can come to our Ninja Department to develop.”

Qingyang threw out the olive branch first.In his mind, Ning Ci is already one of the most promising young people in Konoha's growing generation. How can Qingyang let such a young man appear in front of his eyes and let him miss him?So here he formally solicited Ning Ci for the first time.

"This……"

Ning Ci was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated.He didn't know how to answer Qingyang.In his heart, he admired Qingyang very much, and at the same time, he was full of expectations for the Ninja Department.But after all, he is not the kind of person with simple thinking. He deeply knows that he is not an independent person, he belongs to the Hyuga clan, and he also has his own teacher and companions. He cannot rashly accept Qingyang's recruitment alone .

"I'm sorry Minister Qingyang, I can't give you an answer yet."

In the end, Neji still gave a clear answer. It is not in his character to prevaricate and perfunctory with ambiguous words.

Qingyang didn't say anything more. He had already thought that it would not be so easy to recruit Ning Ci. Fortunately, Ning Ci only said that he could not give his answer now, instead of rejecting him directly.However, Qingyang already had a new idea in his heart at this time. He knew that Ning Ci was actually a person who paid more attention to rules and etiquette, so he planned to take the lead now.

Since the first solicitation had failed, Qingyang didn't stay here any longer, and it was embarrassing to stay here, so Qingyang returned to the building.When he and Gaara made the request for defense transparency yesterday, he had already decided to discuss matters related to defense arrangements together this morning. I think the time should be coming soon, and we can't let people wait too long.

When entering the meeting hall, Qingyang found that Gaara and several people in charge of Sha Yin also came here just in time.

After sitting down, Qingyang could see that everyone in Sha Yin had a bit of trouble on their faces when they saw him.Gaara, however, looked as usual.

"Let's get started, let's make arrangements for the second exam as soon as possible."

Fengying has already spoken, and it is difficult for other people to have doubts.One of Gaara's assistants spread out a map on the table.After opening the map, Qingyang saw that it was a partial map of the Demon Desert. Qingyang had reason to believe that this map was specially made for his own reasons.Because only the border of the Fire Kingdom and the map of the Devil's Desert are drawn on it, as for the end of the Devil's Desert and the terrain in the middle of the Windy Kingdom, there is nothing there, and even the main roads are drawn on this map. Not very exhaustive.

Qingyang did not blame the other party for doing this. After all, this is human nature. Even an ally cannot completely tell the other party everything about him. Sha Yin has the right to keep the Kingdom of Wind's secrets.

Spreading out the map, Qingyang carefully observed the defense points marked on it.In fact, Sa Yin had almost arranged the defense before, and now it is equivalent to telling Qingyang.

When Qingyang saw this map, he had some doubts in his heart, because Kankuro had repeatedly emphasized the danger of the Rice Desert when he was in Konoha before, and it needed the professionals of Sand Hidden to deploy it, but Now it seems that although there are more ninjas deployed in the Demon Desert of the test site, and the first aid points are denser, the layout is still very conventional and nothing special.On the contrary, the Devil's Desert Command, which is the starting point of the second exam, is much more tightly guarded, and there are more guards at the end of the defense map near the middle of the Kingdom of the Wind, which did not appear. mastered it.

After seeing these, Qingyang already had some understanding in his heart.

"This kind of defense arrangement is more about protecting the safety of candidates than it is about protecting the safety of Gaara, Kazekage. What happened inside Sagakure?!"
