Konoha Ninja Wants an Ordinary Life

When Mochizuki Kage returned to Konoha Village, his sudden return surprised Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Mochizuki Kagetoki, as the only spy deployed in the Rain Ninja Village, retreated privately without receiving orders. He wanted to know what happened that made Mochizuki Kagetoki do such a violation of regulations.

"Join the Sandaime." Mochizuki Kage put on the ANBU mask as prescribed, knelt on one knee and waited for Hiruzen Sarutobi's orders.

Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly lit the tobacco in his pipe. It was already late at night. Without the tobacco, it would be difficult for an old man with insufficient energy to survive the long night. Then he looked at the pair of eyes under the mask. The only eye that was exposed spoke his question slowly.

"Why did you evacuate your post privately? I need a reasonable explanation."

The area outside the Rain Ninja Village is a very important part of Konoha's strategic layout. Although this Ninja Village is not as close to Konoha as the Taki Ninja Village, in the past, due to the strength of Hanzo, the Iwa Ninja and the Sand Ninja were in the rain. Shinobu's actions will still be restrained, which to a certain extent reduces the pressure on Konoha in the direction of the Rain Country.

Therefore, it is important to have insight into the trends in the Rain Ninja Village. If Hanzo makes any unexpected decision that is not beneficial to Konoha, but Konoha does not know about it, there will be a very terrible consequence.

While looking at the moonscape, he gently lowered his head, and then took out the words he had silently recited hundreds of times in his mind.

"During the process of collecting information about the rain ninja, my subordinates got this, but accidentally triggered the alarm, so they hurriedly escaped from the rain ninja and returned to Konoha."

While watching the moon, he untied the scroll on his back and raised it above his head. Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly walked over and picked up the scroll.

"Swish"

The scroll was pulled open, and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the first ninjutsu on the scroll. Just seeing the name of the ninjutsu made him narrow his eyes.

"Fire Release Explosive Flame Array"

He recited in a low voice the secret fire escape technique that belonged exclusively to Sanshouyu Hanzo. This was a fire escape technique that could exert great power even in a heavy rain environment.

Then he quickly glanced at the following secret techniques, then showed a smile and said: "You did a good job."

Secret techniques, that is, secret ninjutsu, are the top secret of a small ninja village with limited blood inheritance limits. It is also the only way for them to maintain the ninja village and continuously increase their heritage.

The development of secret techniques is difficult, and the benefits brought by secret techniques are obvious. Even the five major countries can hardly ignore the role of secret techniques. Of course, the most obvious one is Yun Ninja Village. As long as it is determined which ninja village is developed. They would snatch the secret arts at all costs, so they got the nickname "Secret Bandits".

The esoteric scrolls brought back by Moon Viewing can be said to record most of the development and research results of Ameno Village during Hanzo's reign.

When looking at the moon, he didn't know how Orochimaru got this scroll, but he could vaguely guess that he probably asked for it from Payne. After all, for him, eternal life is part of his ideal, and he can learn about the world. All art is another part of the ideal.

"Mishino, you did a great job this time. But because of your departure, the Rain Ninja Village has become completely unknown to Konoha. This means that we have to spend more manpower and material resources here, and face more challenges. Much fighting and sacrifice.”

Sarutobi's tone changed, and the expression on his face became serious.

"But you're back. There's nothing we can do about it. Take a good rest these days. You'll be assigned to a new team soon."

"Understood." Mochizuki Kageshi, whose ANBU codename was "Mishino," replied loudly, and then left the Hokage's office with a wave from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After leaving the Hokage's office, he returned to his home where he had been away for a long time. He hung his mask on the wall and looked at the unchanged mansion while looking at the moon, so he started the first task of cleaning after returning home.

An hour later, I was lying on my familiar bed while watching the moon, and then fell asleep.

After sleeping until noon, Mochizuki Kage, who had changed back to Konoha Chunin attire, walked on the unchanged streets of Konoha, and then strode into Ichiraku Ramen, the legendary place where countless legends were born in Konoha.

At this time, Ichiraku Ramen was just a small noodle shop, and the entire store was not very large. Except for a circle of seats near the counter, the rest of the space was only big enough for two tables for four people.

"Welcome." The hand heard the bell ringing at the door, so he raised his head and shouted the welcome with a smile.

Looking at the moonscape, he nodded, went straight to find a seat and finished cooking. After looking at the menu carefully, he said: "One piece of miso ramen."

As the boss, Teida immediately replied: "One order of miso ramen, please wait a moment."

While waiting for the meal, he looked at the moonscape and found that the person sitting next to him was looking at him. When he looked carefully, he realized that it was Sarutobi Asuma who had undergone a huge change.

The son of the Hokage was not wearing Konoha's vest, but a unique red uniform with white patterns.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The two men greeted each other, then fell silent again.

"I heard that you went on a mission, and now it seems that it was completed safely." Asuma was the first to break the silence and asked about the situation at Moon View.

"That's right," Mochizuki Jingshi recalled everything he experienced in the Rain Ninja Village, and then took a closer look at Asuma and said, "Seeing that you have become the guardian of the Daimyo, when are you going to be promoted to the Twelve Guardian Ninjas?"

"One year, at most one year." Sarutobi Asuma gave his answer, his tone was extremely confident and seemed particularly convincing.

"That's really amazing." He praised while looking at the moonscape.

The Twelve Guardian Ninjas are twelve powerful ninjas who are responsible for protecting the safety of the Fire Country daimyo. They are only briefly mentioned in the original work.

As far as the information he knew while looking at the moon was concerned, the Twelve Warriors needed to reach the level of an average jounin at worst, and Sarutobi Asuma had to defeat a former Twelve Warriors if he wanted to become one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors.

Only a genius with such profound knowledge can say such a thing to surpass an ordinary jounin within a year.

“Miso ramen is here”

He took over while looking at the moon scene, then clasped his hands together, "I'm starting."

After tasting the noodles, Wang Yuejingcai said: "What do you want when you return to the village this time? As far as I know, the Daimyo's guards probably don't have much rest time."

Sarutobi Asuma said: "Recently the daimyo will come to Konoha in person to discuss matters with the old man. Since the old man and I are father and son, I will be responsible for reporting this information to Konoha."

"That was really hard work."

This kind of errand work often requires running back and forth, which is a very hard job.

"Asuma, the daimyo is coming soon, hurry up and get ready."

A ninja from the Sarutobi family broke in and shouted at Asuma.

"I understand," Asuma replied, then slapped the money on the table and left without a chance to say hello to Mochizuki.

"Daimyo, coming to Konoha at this time is not a good sign," he thought while looking at Asuma's half-eaten ramen while looking at the moonscape, and then smiled.

What does this have to do with him?

Eat noodles, eat noodles
