[Hokage] Terukawa

"The situation has changed. According to the intelligence, there seem to be more Anbu sent by Kirigakure than we previously imagined." I frowned fiercely, and then shook the unfolded scroll in front of Shiori and our subordinates, "Stop, everyone stop."

"It seems?" The two teams stopped together, and Shiori turned her head and sneered under the jackal's mask, "When will this word appear in the emergency battle report, what does the intelligence department do!"

I suppressed the anger that also came out of my heart, shook my head, and didn't speak.I can fully understand Shiori's irritability at this time-if it wasn't for that ninja pigeon who gave me a "falling from the sky" at a critical moment to interrupt our cooperation, then that team provoked us too much before and almost died. The Mist Ninja who let us downsize should have returned to the Pure Land at this moment, enjoying eternal peace there.

But all roads lead to the pure land, except that they can't kill them with their own hands, it doesn't hurt much.Out of caution, I have previously prepared a kind of cruelty that I and several other doctors and ninjas worked together to practice, which needs to be questioned in every aspect except toxicity. I feel that it may not be too happy. In short, they have absolutely no chance. Get out of the swamp in front of you.

Come on, so be it, count them bad luck.

The messenger ninja is different from a psychic beast like Sanfeng after all. With its IQ, it can't even understand the most basic fighters, let alone respond to Shiori's questions.

I squeezed the paper to test its thickness, stroked the paper with my fingertips, and finally found the boundary line between the two different papers on the back of the scroll.As soon as I pressed my finger, and then scraped lightly there with my thumbnail, I opened a thin seam on the back of the scroll. This side is the normal scroll paper, and the other side is so thin that it is almost To be a transparent layer.

right here.My eyes lit up slightly, and I exerted force directly on my knuckles, and slowly peeled off the thin layer with my two fingers - this thing is actually thin and brittle, but in fact it doesn't need it at all. It's so light and light, but it's still very tossing. You must know that anything that can be taken to the battlefield is not fragile after all.

However, if this thing is easy to use, it is easy to use, and the manufacturing cost is naturally high, so it is used less accordingly. Ordinary high-level intelligence is not qualified, this...

Suppressing some bad feelings in my heart, I nodded to Shiori, who had already realized the seriousness of the situation due to the appearance of this thin page, and followed the procedure specially designated by Anbu for this thin page, Flipping it back and forth in full view for a while to show that I didn't do much, and then I attached it to the front of the main body scroll, forming a special "solution" with my hands.

A rare and expensive detailed map of the battlefield pops up in front of my eyes, and two thick red arrows go over the mountains and rivers marked on the map, pointing at one point—this is the "extra" Mist Ninja Anbe. Moved.

port, port.

I looked at the point where the two thick arrows converged—why did they meet at the main rudder of Yuno Country Wharf in the east of the mainland?It's impossible for everyone to climb onto the boat with their packages on their backs, and prepare to return to the land of water to retire and return to their hometowns. Men farm and women weave, right?

It's still such a big port... what are they trying to do?

It looks like you know it’s not a good thing, give up thinking.jpg

I put away the thin pages and sighed heavily: "Let's go."

"But Captain Coyote, don't we go to the cloud..."

"From the first day you entered Anbu, you should have known that the mission on the thin page scroll takes precedence over everything else, and where to go is not something the captain can decide." Shiori's cold voice cut off the younger generation's doubts directly, " I don't want to hear about this kind of unnutritious question anymore, and I don't want to do unnecessary things."

The junior with the bat mask fell silent, and subconsciously stood up straight, his stature a little taller than mine actually looked a little aggrieved at this moment.

I found it interesting, but I was too lazy to look at him again.The normal small thoughts come at the wrong time, which only shows that he is a bit mentally weak, and he is an iron-headed kid who can't see the situation clearly.

Referring to the map, I quickly planned the route, which is a relatively fast one—it’s not that I haven’t considered whether I will bump into the Kirinin Anbe who is also on the way, and I am very happy about this. Helpless, if you want the fastest speed, you must give up some other things.It can only be said that since the Anbu of Mist Ninja have not been noticed by the Konoha Ninjas stationed on the border until now "seems" that there are more than the reasonable number, can it also confirm a problem from the side-that is, Mist Ninja In order not to be discovered early, the Anbu are actually acting and arranging cautiously throughout the whole process, so this "more" is not actually much more?

I don't know, but this kind of speculation seems to me to be a bit too taken for granted—passive, it's too passive, but I can't give other answers, otherwise, how could I not get such vague information until now?If it is said that Konoha's intelligence ninjas stationed in the border are eating nothing, then I absolutely do not believe it, and I will definitely spray it back.Among other things, Konoha Ninja, his professional ethics must be beyond reproach.

I turned my head slightly to look at Shiori's eyes hidden under the eyeholes of the mask. As keen as she was, she noticed my sight almost instantly - she must understand me.

Shiori didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

I regained the feeling that the soles of my feet were on the ground.

So I also nodded, turned my head and said to our subordinates: "Let's go."

The climate on the edge of the continent, that is, the eastern coastal area of ​​the Land of Fire is actually not bad.There are plates such as the land of waves and the southern part of the land of soup as shelters in the periphery. The catastrophic heavy rain and snow brought by those ocean winds are almost cut off from this land. Even if there is rain and snow, it is almost light. Light and thin.The rain is always like a fine and soft silk thread, while the velvet is more fluttering, and the appearance of falling leisurely from the sky is very similar to the soft down feathers that are unconsciously shaken from the wings of a big bird when it flaps its wings. It makes five or six erratic spins.

——On the surface, it is indeed so normal, and even some gentle weather is right.

Until Shizhi, who is more familiar with this land, belatedly realizes a problem—it seems that the rain on the eastern coast has never been so long.The rain started three or four days earlier than the day we received the thin-page scroll. If we count from then until today... the rain should have been five days at least.

"This is not the climate that should be in this area. The rainy season has passed, not to mention that the precipitation now has truly exceeded the rainy season."

After urgently discussing this issue, Shiori said firmly: "This is not normal."

"Without chakra, the possibility of detecting the rain is ruled out." I shook off a little rainwater that had caught in my palm before, and felt the slightest bit of cold air from the palm of my hand piercing my neck into my body. What's up?"

——Tortoiseshell and Owl are sentient ninjas belonging to Shiori and my team respectively.It stands to reason that a rare talent like a perception-type ninja should not be assigned to each team like ordinary Chinese cabbage (especially in the shadowy Anbu), but after all, several of our teams are all acquiescing The backbone of the next generation, the first prerequisite for being able to give full play to the light and heat of the backbone is naturally to live well, and don't die in unknown places. From this perspective, it seems that no matter how high the team is, it can't be overstated.

"I didn't notice, captain," Owl shook his head, "it's indeed ordinary rain."

"Captain Coyote, I didn't perceive anything unusual." On the other side, the tortoise straightened up and scratched his head, then turned to Shiori and asked, "Captain, maybe we are thinking too much? I think we are just lucky Not good, it just happened to catch up with the abnormal weather that is rare in a century."

In this area, the Shiori team has more knowledge and experience than my team, so since the team entered the hinterland of the area, I automatically retreated to the second line, and handed over the more active decision-making power to Shiori.

Indeed, I have sensed several times on the road in the past few days, and all the conclusions I got are "no abnormality", so the current situation is actually a bit embarrassing-everyone knows that this climate is problematic and abnormal, but everyone No problem can be found, so the conclusion can only be infinitely tilted to the other side of the balance—maybe the truth is really as the tortoise said, we have been fighting wits and courage with the air along the way.

Fortunately, perception is already a natural instinct for perception ninjas, and the time and energy consumed in this process are almost negligible.

Shizhi was silent for a long time, and said: "But I still feel..." But in the middle of the conversation, she suddenly stopped as if thinking of something, so I subconsciously followed her and changed the subject: "What did you think of?" gone?"

"Apart from nature itself, what other factors can affect the climate?" She paced back and forth, then suddenly leaned over and whispered to me, "You've seen an out-of-control tail, right? Did it appear accompanied by What...like a vision like a sandstorm? Is there chakra in the sand?"

? !

I was taken aback, and my drooping hands trembled slightly.

"what do you mean--"

Shiori waved his hand, this action successfully brought back my reason, and made me stop the conversation immediately, and didn't say the most important content.

"I've also seen three tails out of control... when I was very young."

she says.
