A Wishing Konoha Ninja

Since meeting Shizune that day, Mamoru's attitude towards Kato Dan has changed 180 degrees.

If Kato Dan said to go east, he would never go west; if he said he wanted to practice, he would never be lazy; if he said he wanted to stay away from Shizune, he would definitely get closer to Shizune.

"Teacher Dan, please feel free to leave Shizune-chan to me." After repeated defeats, Mamoru launched an offensive against Kato Dan again.

Finding that ordinary methods had no effect on Mamoru, Kato Dan decided to take everyone out of Konoha to avoid letting this idiot continue to disturb his niece.

"Ahu, I see that you are so energetic, your injuries should be almost healed. Then our ninth team will start to carry out missions again today. You guys go back and clean up, and prepare to operate outside the village for the next seven days."

"Received" x2

"Ah, that means I won't be able to see Shizune-chan for seven days."

Kazami Shinobu directly stated the cruel reality: "Even in the village, Mamoru, you can't see Shizune."

Ahu became suspicious: "Tell me, Kazami, if you have any thoughts about the lovely Shizune-chan, and so do you, Hayato."

Hayato still hit the nail on the head: "Idiot."

Ignoring the fussy Mamoru, everyone quickly went back to pack up and set off from Konoha with their backpacks.

"Teacher Dan, what is the specific content of our mission this time?" Kazami Shinobu asked his teacher while running behind Kato Dan.

"The destination of this mission is actually the country of Yu. The daimyo of the country of Yu has commissioned Konoha to investigate a certain place in his country."

Hearing that the mission destination was Yu no Kuni, Ahu asked with some confusion: "I remember there seems to be a Yugakure village there. Why is Konoha entrusted to us?"

The Country of Yu is located in the northern part of the Country of Fire. It is one of the two small countries sandwiched between the Country of Fire and the Country of Thunder. It is famous for its beautiful natural environment and tourism resources.

It is also sandwiched between big countries. Unlike the Kingdom of Rain and the Kingdom of Grass, which have been fighting for years, the Kingdom of Tang has not participated in other wars since the war a long time ago.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. In the country of Yu, there is also a small ninja village called Yugakure.

However, due to the long-term peace in Yuno Country and the gradual reduction of funds given by the daimyo to the Ninja Village, the ninja fighting strength of Yugakure Village has been reduced to the extreme, and it is even called "the village that forgot the war" by outsiders.

After Kato Dan told his disciples the specific situation of Yuno Country and Yugakure Village, Ago also understood why the daimyo of Yuno Country entrusted the task to Konoha.

At this time, Ahu raised another question: "Since the citizens of Tang Country all advocate peace, then this mission should not require combat. Is it a D-level mission?"

"This is a C-level mission. According to the intelligence from Yuno Country, the place we need to investigate this time is quite strange. It is completely different from other places in the country. The possibility of a battle cannot be ruled out."

Although Mamoru had many questions, Kato Dan was still very patient in answering every question to prevent him from taking the task lightly.

Ahu quickly finished asking his questions, and then the four masters and apprentices continued to move towards the Kingdom of Yu in silence.

After resting for half a night in the forest, Team [-] finally arrived at Fukagawa Town, a prosperous seaport town in the eastern part of the Land of Fire.

As one of the largest ports in the Land of Fire, Fukagawa Town is built next to a natural bay. The entire harbor dock stands along the bay, and various large and small ships are anchored in it.

The reason why Kato Dan brought Kazami Shinobu and the three of them to Fukagawa Town was because routes to other countries could be easily found here.

Although he could also go directly to the Kingdom of Tang by land, he wanted to take the opportunity of this mission to broaden the horizons of the three disciples, so he chose to go to the Kingdom of Tang by water.

Yuno Kuni is a famous tourist destination, and Team [-] easily found a merchant ship heading to Yuno Kuni this morning.

It just so happened that this merchant ship belonged to a merchant from the Land of Fire. After Kato Sutsu revealed his identity as a Konoha ninja, he boarded the ship with his three subordinates after only paying a small amount of shipping fee.

Captain: It’s impossible to be free, not for the rest of your life.

Coming to the beach for the first time after Zi was born, Ahu was in a very high mood.

After getting on the boat, he kept running around. Everything on the boat was full of freshness to Ahu.

If Ahu's literary talent were better, he would probably say famous sayings such as "Ocean, you are all water" at this moment.

When the merchant ship slowly sailed out of the port of Fukagawa Town against the sea breeze, Mamoru calmed down a little.

Compared with the active Mamoru, Hayato is still a quiet handsome man and a tough guy as always.

Since the ship started, Hayato has been sitting quietly in the cabin, silent and motionless.

His face is still as green as usual, hey

There seems to be bubbles coming out of the corners of the mouth, hey hey

The eyes completely turned into the shape of mosquito coils, hey hey hey

Kazami Shinobu: This may be seasickness, it must be seasickness, right?

Finding that his teammates still had time to sigh, Hayato felt as if thousands of horses were galloping in his heart, and he didn't know whether to say something or not.

Hayato: I think I can still save it.

In the end, Kazami Shinobu asked the sailors on the ship to help rescue his teammates, and found a place to place Hayato and let him rest slowly.

After dealing with Hayato's seasickness, Kazumi Shinobu walked to the bow of the ship and enjoyed the view of the sea with Mr. Kato Dan.

The merchant ships underfoot were bouncing up and down with the waves, and large schools of fish were swimming under the water not far away, attracting seabirds in the air to occasionally swoop in for prey.

"Is Hayato okay?" Kato Dan asked with concern when he saw Kazumi Shinobu asking for help.

Kazami Shinobu directly expressed the judgment of the veteran on the ship: "The sailors on the ship said that it was probably because it was the first time to ride on a ship and I was a little uncomfortable with it, so I got seasick. It's not a big problem."

"That's good." Kato breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "It seems that I will have to strengthen training in this area for Hayato in the future."

It seems that Kato Dan really never forgets his identity as a teacher.

At this time, Kazami Shinobi could only mourn for Hayato for three seconds in his heart. Brother, I wish you a safe journey.

"Teacher Duan, will we encounter mist ninjas at sea?"

"The Kirigakure Village has been quite chaotic in the past few years. As a result, most of the Kirigakure only move around in the Kingdom of Water. I think we won't encounter them this time."

"Is there something wrong with Kirigakure Village?"

"This teacher doesn't know. The Kingdom of Water is a very closed country, and not much information leaks out to the outside world."

Kazami Shinobu wondered if it was Master Madara who was causing trouble in Kirigakure Village.

If you think about it carefully, it is really possible. The closed environment of the Water Kingdom is really suitable for causing trouble. You must know that a few years later, Master Madara took control of Kirigakure Village and formulated a plan to use out-of-control Jinchūriki to attack Konoha.

So it makes perfect sense to attack Kirigakure Village a few years ago now.

Just as Kazumi Shinobu and Kato Dan's master and apprentice were chatting, a black spot suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance and quickly approached the merchant ship.
