A Wishing Konoha Ninja

After coming out of the hot spring, Ahu put on the original pair of glasses again.

Kazami Shinobu put his hand on Mamoru's shoulder and said sincerely: "Mamoru, your glasses are your true identity."

Ahu: My true body

Not long after, Kato Danya returned to Neko no Yu Hotel, but judging from his solemn expression, what he got was probably not good news.

However, Kato Dan didn't say anything to Kazami Shinobu and the others, and the three of them went to bed early after dinner.

The next morning.

After a night's rest in Neko no Yu, Hayato finally regained his strength, and all members of Team [-] set out again.

Kato Dan led Kazami Shinobu, Ago and Hayato to quickly advance into the interior of Yuno Country.

On the way to the mission location, Kato Dan informed his three subordinates of more information about the mission.

"The location of our mission this time is a small village called Tsuneimura inside the Kingdom of Yu. Since there are currently many disappearances happening around there, the Daimyo of Yuno Country entrusted us with the investigation."

Kazami Shinobi asked: "Have any ninjas disappeared there?"

"It's not clear yet. The village is isolated from the rest of the world and is quite mysterious. Even the residents nearby say they know nothing about it. You all should be very alert for this mission."

"Received" x3

The four people in Class [-] did not communicate with each other anymore and kept busy on their way. Finally, they arrived at the hills near Changshi Village before dark.

At this time, the sun has almost set, and it is estimated that it will be night in two or three hours.

As the sunset faded little by little, small patches of mist suddenly floated on the rugged mountain road, and the mountain forest gradually became dense with mist.

Because their view was blocked by the gloomy trees around them, Class [-] walked unknowingly into the depths of the fog.

By the time they realized something was wrong, they had already been walking in thick fog for a long time.

After walking cautiously for a while, Mamoru couldn't help but ask Kato Suan: "Teacher Suan, there's something wrong with this mist. Wouldn't it be better for us to exit first?"

Kato shook his head decisively: "No, we can't tell the direction now. Even if we want to go out, we don't know which direction to go."

Thick white fog shrouded the mountain forest, which not only blurred Class [-]'s sense of direction, but also prevented them from using the stars in the sky to locate their position.

Ahu didn't give up yet: "Didn't I say that the side of the trees facing the sun will grow more lushly? We may use them to identify the direction."

This time Kazami Shinobu answered on Kato Dan's behalf: "I'm afraid this method won't work. Mamoru, you may not have observed your surroundings carefully. The trees here are not growing normally."

Ahu quickly looked around at the trees nearby, and sure enough he saw that all the trees here were very twisted. Both the trunks and branches were crooked. It would give people a disgusting feeling after looking at them for a long time.

Ahu put his head in his hands and grabbed his short hair, and said in frustration: "What can we do about this?"

Now even Hayato couldn't stand it anymore, he patted Mamoru on the back and said, "Calm down."

Kato Dan decided to test his favorite disciple, so he asked Kazumi Shinobu: "Kazemi, do you think so?"

Kazami Shinobu replied like a reflex: "Captain, there must be something fishy about this matter."

Kato cut his head full of black lines: You still have to say this, this is not what I want to hear.

Fortunately, Kazumi Shinobu continued immediately: "According to the current situation, I have two ways to deal with it. The first one is to stay where we are and rest to see if there will be any changes later. The fog only appeared in the afternoon. , if we stay until tomorrow morning, the fog may dissipate automatically."

At this time, Kazami Shinobu stopped and looked at his teacher, and found that Kato Dan was gesturing for him to continue talking with his eyes.

"The second method is to continue moving forward and go directly to our mission location."

Hearing Kazami Shinobu say to continue walking down, Mamoru raised his own question: "But aren't we lost? How do we get to the mission location?"

Kazami Shinobu pointed at the surrounding trees.

Ahu said puzzledly: "These trees can't help us identify the direction."

Kazami Shinobu had no choice but to continue explaining to Ahu: "These trees cannot indeed be used to distinguish north, south, east, west, but they can point us to the direction of the village."

Ahu now felt that he was about to be stunned by the wind. He could not tell the direction for a while, but could point out the direction for a while.

"If you look carefully at the leaves of these trees, you can find that some of them are quite special. Look at these leaves. Do they have an extra light red color than other leaves?"

Mamoru and Hayato carefully observed the leaves pointed out by Kazami, and indeed found that there was some light red on them.

"I guess the closer the trees are to that village, the more reddish leaves there will be, so as long as you follow the changing trees, you can reach the mission location."

At this moment, Ahu suddenly understood and nodded, but turned around and asked: "If we do this in reverse, can't we go out?"

Kazami Shinobi did not answer Mamoru's question directly, but looked at Kato Dan, waiting for him to make a judgment.

"Whether we stay in place or withdraw, it will not help us complete the mission." This time Kato Dan finally concluded: "As a ninja, sometimes we have to move forward bravely, so Team [-] will continue to move forward now."

After hearing his captain's decision, Ahu didn't put forward any new opinions this time.

After the discussion, Kato Dan took Kazami, Mamoru, and Hayato to follow the direction of the changes in the leaves.

Not long after Kazami Shinobu and the others set out, the remaining light in the mist began to slowly disappear until the entire forest became pitch black.

Judging by the time, it is estimated that the sun outside has completely dropped below the horizon now.

Looking at the increasingly gloomy environment around him, Mamoru unconsciously walked slower and slower, and gradually approached Hayato behind him.

Kazami Shinobu suddenly shouted loudly: "Wow."

"what"

Mamoru immediately followed and shouted reflexively, and instantly hugged Hayato who was walking at the back.

""

Hayato looked at Mamoru expressionlessly.

Ah Ma realized that it was Kazami who was scaring him, his face quickly became bloodshot, and his ears suddenly turned red. He turned to Kazami and said angrily, "Why are you scaring me?"

Kazami Shinobi asked with a serious expression: "Ago, are you afraid of invisible things like ghosts?"

Ahu shook his head decisively: "I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

Hayato who was next to him also pointed out: "You peed your pants."

Ago looked down reflexively, then immediately raised his head and said, "Hayato, why did you lie to me?"

Seeing Ahu's reaction, they didn't know that this kid must be very afraid of ghosts and other supernatural things.

However, under the current situation, there was no time to provide psychological counseling to Mamoru. Kazumi and Hayato looked at each other, and they both grabbed half of Mamoru's body at the same time.

Ahu was shocked: "What do you want to do?"

"You are walking too slowly when you are so startled. Let us help you walk faster."

The two of them just held Mamoru and ran towards Kato Dan.

As the four people continued to go deeper, the leaves on the trees in the forest became more and more beautiful, as red as blood.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but Kato Dan finally saw the vague outline of a building ahead through the thick fog.

A shrine somewhere in the fog.

Several mysterious figures in black robes and masks were gathered together at the moment, seemingly discussing something.

The leading man in black robe suddenly whispered a few words to the others, and then one of the men in black robe immediately turned around and left, and the rest of the people also began to take action one after another.
