Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

Arriving at the Hokage's office, Shiyuan and the other three walked in immediately after the last wave of people left the office.

"Lord Naruto"

The three of them called Hokage in unison and stood in a row in front of the table.

"Yeah, it's you guys. What's wrong?"

At this time, the third generation was wearing a pair of glasses, which covered most of the sharp light that would appear from time to time in his eyes.

"That's it, we just took on a mission."

Shi Yuan handed the certificate of the task in his hand to the third generation, and then explained.

"So this is the mission"

The third generation raised his hand to take off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then rubbed his eye sockets, "This task is a bit special. I originally planned to select a few people to complete it in the afternoon, but unexpectedly, you guys took it directly."

Hearing this, Shi Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.

Why do the tasks I randomly pick up seem to be a little unusual?

"Is there any problem with this mission, Hokage-sama?"

Suppressing his temper, Shi Yuan asked.

On the side, a trace of sadness appeared on Hong's face, and his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled together, looking at the third generation.

"It's not a big problem. Based on your strength, it's not too difficult to complete this task under normal circumstances."

The third generation looked at Shiyuan, who was standing between the three of them.

"The client of the mission is the nobles of the Country of Smoke. It is a small country rather than a city-state, because their country is the kind of existence that cannot be found on the map, but its geographical location is of great value. And currently, there is a struggle over the transition of power.”

"Then the client"

Moonlight Hayate looked at the third generation.

"The client is the daughter of that country's general. Her identity is somewhat unusual. At least her current identity is very important, so you need to deliver her safely to her destination."

The third generation took a sip of water and continued, "The daimyo of the Country of Smoke is critically ill, and the heirs below are competing for the right to inherit the country. This general's daughter is the fiancée of one of the heirs."

“Something to pay attention to”

Hayate said in a deep voice, there was some information hidden in Sandai's words.

"This heir is a pro-fire sect, while the other one is a pro-earth sect, so we must deliver the general's daughter who can give that heir a strong backing safely."

The third generation said solemnly, his eyes were extremely focused, and he obviously took this matter very seriously.

"Hokkage-sama, I have a question."

Tokigen raised his hand, and the Sandaime looked at him.

"Why is the daughter of the general of the Country of Smoke not in the Country of Smoke? Of course, this question has nothing to do with the mission itself. I am just curious."

"Oh, that general is a very utilitarian warrior. He sent his children to the capital of the Country of Fire very early in order to make more friends with powerful people."

The third generation answered Shiyuan's question.

"So that's the case, then I have no problem," Shi Yuan replied.

Although this task sounds troublesome, if he decides to accept it and then regrets it, his impression in the eyes of the third generation will be lost.

Not to mention that the third generation valued him very much at this time. Not only did the family give him the green light, they also personally took the time to guide him in his practice.

Just say that as a ninja of Konoha, he chose to shrink from such a mission of great significance between countries, then he is definitely not in line with the training of the village.

So Shi Yuan knew that he had no way to quit.

Besides, he has no intention of quitting

The third generation knew the task itself better than he did, but he did not stop the three of them from taking the task, which showed that although the task was difficult, it was not absolutely impossible to complete.

"Since the heir is pro-fire, do we need to provide assistance?"

Hong asked with a frown.

Being involved in such political matters is the most troublesome for ninjas

"No, there has been an agreement between countries not to interfere in the politics of other countries easily. The purpose of your mission is only to protect the client who has changed the power of the general. For other things, you don't need to get too involved."

Sandai stared at the three people standing in a row in front of him and said softly.

Hayate looked at the Sandaime: "Then the other heir won't get any apparent help from there, right?"

Sandai squinted his eyes: "It stands to reason, but be careful."

"Understood"

The third generation's words have obviously answered the question, although it is not that direct.

Although Sandai said from the beginning that he should not interfere with the politics of other countries, it is obvious that this country of smoke is no longer a simple transfer of power.

Of the two heirs, one is close to the Kingdom of Earth and the other is close to the Kingdom of Fire, so this will be another secret battle between Konoha and Iwagakure.

If Konoha can support an heir who is close to itself to take the throne, then the Country of Smoke will be like a nail for Konoha on the border of the Earth Country, which will have great strategic significance.

"Leave it to you"

The third generation glanced at the faces of the three people.

The three people in front of them were not fools. After what he said, they all clearly understood that this mission was not simply to protect important people, but had a deeper purpose.

"Yes"

Shi Yuan looked at the two people on the left and right, met their eyes, and then nodded in agreement in unison.

"You two go down and prepare first. Shi Yuan stays here. I still have something to tell you." After the third generation finished speaking, his eyes fell on Shi Yuan.

"Yes"

Kurenai and Hayate looked at each other and then exited the office.

After the two left, Sandai took away the gentle smile on his face and replaced it with a more serious expression.

"The geographical location of the Country of Smoke is very important to us, so you should work harder on this mission."

“It should be simple”

Shi Yuan was a little embarrassed. This feeling of being placed so much hope on him felt a little strange.

"what do you say"

The three generations of contacts during this period have a good understanding of Shiyuan's character.

He trains harder and more conscientiously than anyone else, but he always gives people the feeling of hiding something, which he thinks is very bad.

"So cheer up, at least let me see a little bit of your body. Hiding yourself blindly is not a good way to live. Do you understand, boy Shiyuan?"

"Understanding" Shi Yuan's face straightened.

"Then go ahead and I won't say anything else, lest all you young people find me verbose."

"Then don't disturb the Hokage, let's leave now"

Their eyes met for a moment, and then quickly separated.

Walking out of the Hokage's office, Shigen found Kurenai and Hayate leaning against the wall of the corridor and talking softly.

"Let's go and meet the mission entruster"

"Copy that, Captain."

Kurenai smiled and straightened up, and Hayate looked over.

"How did I become the captain?"

"Because I feel that you are very stable, Shiyuan, and you are very suitable for the title of captain. Don't you think so, Hayate?"

Hong tilted his head and looked at Moonlight Hayate, who nodded slightly and agreed with Hong's statement.

Just when Sandai and Shi Yuan were alone together, the two of them confirmed Shi Yuan's captain status outside.

Although it had not been long since Shiyuan was promoted to chuunin, for some reason, they all felt that Shiyuan's strength was more than what he showed.

After all, even the third generation seems to pay special attention to Shiyuan, and he has been issuing orders with him as the center, consciously or unconsciously.

"Okay, the team needs a leader after all. Since I am asked to be the captain, I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

Shi Yuan acquiesced to his identity as the captain, and then walked outside, with the other two closely following his pace.

The team really needs to have a unified opinion, and the captain is the unifier of this opinion.

It just so happens that this mission is not easy. Being able to eliminate the noise in the team is one of the prerequisites for completing the mission.

"Since you asked me to be the captain, I hope you can also listen to my command as the captain. You just heard that this mission is not simple, and the difficulty of completing it is not small, but as long as we work together, there is no big problem "

While walking towards the inn where the client was staying, Shi Yuan looked a little solemn while speaking to the two people behind him.

"Don't worry, Captain"

Neither of them is a thorn in the side, and the decision to make Shi Yuan the captain of the team will not be inconsistent.
