Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 213 The Mutation of Mist Ninja

"Well, I just came back at noon today. I saw that you were not at the izakaya, so I came back and reported the task first."

Click!

Xiyan put the ninja sword in her hand on the long table in the conference room, and began to remove the Anbu combat uniform armor on her body.He threw the next shoulder armor into Zhou Lai's hand.

"Xi Yan, it's not good that this is a conference room."

Zhou Lai took the off-white combat uniform from Xi Yan's hand, with a helpless expression on his face.

"I don't want to do anything. Just close the door. This is not the conference room with passages all around. And at this time, not many people will come in the conference room."

Xiyan took off her breastplate and put it on the table in front of her.Then he sat down on the armchair behind him and stretched out his hand towards Zhou Lai.

Zhou Lai consciously put the shoulder armor in his hands on the table, walked behind Xi Yan and began to press his shoulders rhythmically.

This is not the layout of Anbu six years ago, but it is basically the same. Except for a relatively large-scale maintenance at Konoha 59 and a few secret rooms added to the positions of each team, everything else remains the same. of.

"The task is easy!"

Zhou Lai skillfully pressed Xiyan's shoulders with both hands, and asked softly with his gaze on Xiyan's closed eyes.

The current Xiyan is no longer the newcomer who just entered Anbu and needed Zhou Lai's constant care.
After Zhou Lai's deliberate training over the years, she has grown to the position of squad leader. If Zhou Lai didn't deliberately increase the position of vice-captain, she is fully capable of taking up the position of vice-captain.

As for why Zhou Lai didn't deliberately increase the number of vice-captains, at least part of the reason was because he didn't want Xiyan to be the vice-captain.

He has a very tangled emotion on Xi Yan, and Zhou Lai knows how quickly the deputy captain's frequent dangerous missions will affect a ninja's growth.He very much hopes that Xiyan's strength can grow rapidly, but he really doesn't want Xiyan to do these dangerous tasks frequently, and he can't guarantee that the dangerous level of the tasks will not change every time.

"Of course it's trivial. I don't even look at who I am."

Xiyan grinned, revealing a silly but cute smile.

Zhou Lai pinched her face, also showing a very doting expression.

"You're already a Jnin, why do you still say such things? No opponent should be underestimated, even if the opponent is weaker than you."

Zhou Lai exerted a little force on Xi Yan's face.

"Oh, I got it, I got it. I'm talking about this every day, and I haven't reached Jōnin yet. According to Konoha's normal organization, I'm nothing more than Chunin now."

"Then have you ever seen a Chunin who almost killed Kageji?"

Zhou Lai couldn't help but recall in his mind the amazing sword strike he made half a year ago when he was training with Xiyan.Even Zhou Lai at that time was almost pierced through the chest by that sword.

If it weren't for Gu Huo Niao's umbrella sword teleportation, the consequences at that time would have been unimaginable. In the lightest terms, according to the power at that time, Zhou Lai would have to lie in the emergency room of Muye Hospital for at least a few days.

But it's a pity that that sword was just a flash of Xiyan's inspiration at that time. Although he could no longer use the power at that time, Xiyan's swordsmanship attainments have undergone an earth-shaking change since that day.

Today's Zhou Lai has to be vigilant and go all out when fighting her.

"Then aren't you just a junin? It's not very common for me to kill a jnin with difficulty, but it's not too abrupt."

"Hey, the little girl's mouth is quite logical."

"Oh, how many times have I said it, you still call me little girl, I'm almost twenty this year! My mother doesn't call me that anymore!!"

"It's been so smooth for so many years, you told me that I can't change it for a while~, then what should I call you?"

Zhou Lai stared at Xi Yan's upturned mouth, the helplessness of the corners of his mouth rose even more uncontrollably, and the smile in his eyes couldn't be concealed no matter what.

Who would have thought that the squad leader, who is cold in front of the team members, would have such a childish temper.

"Then you, then you, just call me"

Xi Yan blinked her eyes and raised her head to stare at Zhou Lai's eyes, a little hesitant to speak.

"You call me little."

Snapped!
The people in the conference room were suddenly pushed away.

Xi Yan's body lying in Zhou Lai's arms suddenly sat up.

He stared in the direction of the door in a panic, as if he had done something embarrassing.

Qing Cheng stared at the scene in front of him, then froze in place for an instant, looked up at Zhou Lai who was still looking normal, his expression was hesitant to speak,

"I, me, avoid it?"

In the end, Qingcheng felt that it would be better for him to open his mouth to relieve the embarrassment in the air.

"No need, I just gave Xi Yan a squeeze on the shoulder, what's the matter with you here?"

Zhou Lai stepped forward to block Xi Yan, looking at Qing Cheng who was in a hurry and asked.

During this period of time, he has been in the village. Although the fourth team has a lot of tasks, he doesn't need to worry about everything, so he also has a few days of leisure time. Qingcheng naturally knows that Zhou Lai has been in the village all the time. , so many things are handled by myself for Zhou.

This situation will only happen when he exceeds his authority.

Zhou Lai's expression gradually became serious.

Qingcheng let out a breath slowly, nodded,

"There are indeed some urgent reports, which have just been sent through spiritism."

"Some?!!"

"

"It's about Kirinin's side. There was a disturbance in Anbu! They were almost wiped out. In short, I will send you the specific information in a while, but I still suggest that you go there yourself. These Things may have gone beyond what an ordinary Jonin can bear."

Zhou Lai's eyebrows were completely frowned, and every word Qingcheng said from the moment he entered the door made him feel bad, and even the subsequent situations became more and more serious.

The situation where Anbu is placed in the country of water is naturally more than 01:30.Nor can it be accomplished overnight.The loss of all these damages is too great. Although the fourth team as the assassination team does not have any task force there, the Anbu is a whole, and the success and loss are greatly involved.

"Three generations over there!"

"Someone has already gone to inform, but as the captain, you'd better go there."

"I know, you go with me and put aside other things here first."

Then Zhou Lai turned his head to look at Xi Yan behind him.

Xiyan naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and nodded before Zhou Lai could speak.

"Go ahead, I'll take a break, and then I'll go back and leave me alone."

"kindness!"

Zhou Lai smiled slightly, raised his legs and stepped out of the door of the conference room, his figure disappeared in a flash.

Qing Cheng followed closely behind.
