ninja bandits

Konoha 38 years.

Kaguya Hyu, who was eleven years old at the time, had just experienced the third group destruction.

After lying in the hospital for two months, he recovered and was transferred to the front lines of the Land of Water and the Land of Fire by the Third Mizukage.

Holding the appointment letter in her hand, the still green Kaguya came to the door of a temporary dark green tent and thought to herself: 'Is this where you report? '

Immediately, he opened the door curtain and walked inside.

Under the dim firelight, three figures were already waiting here.

"Excuse me, is Matsui Jonin here? Genin Kaguya is here to report." Kaguya asked, raising the appointment letter in his hand.

Matsui Jonin's full name is Matsui Renyuki. He is a newly promoted Jonin. He is not very old, only in his early twenties.

"I am, give me the appointment letter." Matsui Renyuki urged: "I'm waiting for you."

After taking the appointment letter from Kaguya Kyū and checking it carefully, Matsui Renyuki said: "We were all forced to get together because the original team was disbanded.

So, let’s introduce ourselves first and get to know each other. "

After saying that, he spoke without stopping: "I am Matsui Renyuki. I estimate that I will be your team leader for a long time in the future. I am good at fire ninjutsu and earth ninjutsu. I hate noisy environments."

Kaguya Hugh followed closely: "Hello everyone, my name is Kaguya Hugh. I am 11 years old. I am good at physical arts and water escape. I like barbecue and reading books. There is nothing particularly annoying."

Next, there was a young man two years older than Kaguya, with gloomy eyes: "Kyohei Tosato, good at illusions and wind escape ninjutsu."

The last person in the team is a girl about the same age as Kaguya Kyū.

The girl is a girl-next-door type. She is not tall among her peers. She has long brown hair. The baby fat on her round face has not completely dissipated. There are two dimples on her open-mouthed pink cheeks. , which makes people want to poke it with their fingers.

The round-faced girl said sweetly: "Nice to meet you all.

I am Utsu Nanako. I am 11 years old. I am good at intelligence reconnaissance and water escape. My favorite food is grilled squid. I hate eating pickles. My dream is that there will be no more wars in the world.

Please take care of me in the future. "

………………

"careful!"

While warning loudly, Kaguya grabbed Nanako's right hand, pulled it back hard, and pulled it away from the place.

The next second, three shurikens flew over, passed through the afterimage of the round-faced girl, and were nailed to the big tree behind.

After leading the pale girl to a big tree, Kaguya glanced at the fighting men and warned, "Be careful, I'll go help Captain Matsui and the others."

Nodding vigorously, Nanako said worriedly: "Xiu-kun, be careful."

After a fierce battle, Kaguya held his right arm covered with scorch marks and walked back with a grin on his face: "Nanako, come out, the battle is over."

Walking out from behind the tree, seeing Kaguya's injuries, Nanako's eyes flashed with distress, and she hurriedly found a roll of gauze and a bottle of topical trauma medicine from the small bag on her waist.

Then he trotted to Kaguya Xiu in three or two steps and said softly: "Let me bandage it for you."

"Thank you."

………………

A short rest period, by the creek not far from the camp.

"987, 988, 989..."

Kaguya was sweating profusely, counting the numbers in his mouth, placing his palms on the ground, and concentrating on doing handstand push-ups.

Time passed slowly, and a small figure carrying a wooden box came to him quietly.

Raising the lunch box in her hand, Nanako said with a smile, "Xiu-kun, this is the mushroom soup I made, come and try it."

"...2982, and the last few, come when I finish, 2992..."

He replied casually, endured the pain in his arms and shoulders, and finished the last few push-ups.

Kaguya took the handkerchief handed over by the round-faced girl, wiped the sweat from his face, laughed and said, "Thanks, Nanako."

After washing her hands in the stream, she opened the lunch box and Kaguya wolfed it down without ceremony.

Nanako pulled up the bun that fell by her ears and asked expectantly: "How is my craft?"

With the red bean rice ball and the last mouthful of mushroom soup in the bowl, Kaguya Hugh did not hesitate to praise: "This is the best mushroom soup I have ever tasted."

………………

"Xiujun, is it worth getting hurt like this for a useless piece of trash like me?"

While Nanako was shedding tears, she carefully bandaged Kaguya, who was lying on the board with her arms severely burned and a big hole in her chest.

Turning his head slightly and glancing at the round-faced girl next to him, Kaguya thought of his previous teammates: "I just don't want my teammates to die in front of me again."

Although his voice was weak, his tone was firm.

………………

"This mission is to attack Konoha's logistics supply convoy. Lord Crescent takes this mission very seriously, so there will be two teams working with us. Don't embarrass me then."

Matsui Renyuki had a calm face, turned his gaze to the round-faced girl, and said solemnly: "Especially you, Nanako, do you know?"

Nanako promised: "I will never embarrass the captain."

According to the information from the spies, Kaguya Kyū and his party blocked Konoha's transport convoy at a small mountain col.

"Water Escape: Great Waterfall Jutsu!" "Earth Escape: Yellow Spring Marsh!" "Fire Escape: Dragon Fire Jutsu!"...

All kinds of map gun-type ninjutsu burst out, instantly engulfing the Konoha ninja who were caught off guard.

'Ping ping ping pong -! ''哐——! ''clang! '...

After the map cannon, there was another close combat, and Konoha's escorts were forced to retreat.

When he came to an overturned carriage and pried open the wooden box that fell on the ground, Kaguya's pupils shrank: "Empty?"

At the same time, a slightly panicked shout came from the side: "No, it's a trap!"

'Chirp! ''Chirp! ''Chirp! '...

Sounds of breaking through the air caused by rapid movements continued to sound.

A Konoha ANBU carrying a long sword and wearing an animal mask also appeared in Kaguya's field of vision, surrounding everyone.

"Konoha Anbu?"

"It's not just any ANBU, it's the 'root' of Konoha!"

Through the masks that were more colorful than ordinary ANBU, someone recognized the true identity of this group of Konoha ANBU.

Looking at the enemies around him who were twice as many as his own, Matsui Renyuki felt that the odds were against him. He looked at Kaguya Kyū and the others behind him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Spread out and break through, and only one of them can survive!"

After saying that, he did not hesitate to abandon Kaguya and his party, and rushed straight to the weakest point of the encirclement.

But the root ninja would not let him get his wish, and immediately sent three people to intercept.

After scanning a circle of his fleeing companions, Kaguya gritted his teeth, chose a direction, and rushed over.

Nanako, holding a kunai, silently followed Kaguya Kyū.

"You won't even think about it if I die!" Matsui Renyuki's desperate roar sounded from the center of the battlefield.

'Boom! '

There was a loud noise, and violent air waves and shock waves spread out in all directions.

In an instant, the surrounding ninjas were scattered to pieces.

Kaguya Kyū also seized this opportunity, picked up Nanako who was seriously injured and her physical strength was close to the limit, and quickly ran away in the direction of the Kingdom of Water.

A root ninja wearing a dog-head mask looked at the commander of the operation: "Don't worry about him?"

The cat-face mask shook his head and said firmly: "Someone will deal with him."
