Path of the Giants of the Autumn Path of the Leaf

"It's impossible, isn't it? Shuijing, he..." Naruto was shocked and looked at Kakashi in confusion.

Even as early as in the ninja school, Naruto understood that ninja is a cruel and bloody profession.But when he heard that his friend had completed his first ninja training, he stood in front of him the next day with a calm expression on his face.

"That person just...killed..." Sakura was also stunned, and was speechless for a moment.

Although Sasuke on the side didn't say anything, it was obvious that some bad memories were brought back to him, and his face became ugly.

"Those are just rebellious ninjas. Mizukage-kun probably doesn't have any good choices in that situation." Kakashi comforted, "It's normal for ninjas to see blood. Well, just get used to it in the future."

"Then let's see what the mission is." Kakashi looked down at the mission file attached to the wooden sign.

"Oh! It turns out..."

In the Hokage building, Akimichi Shuijing stared at the mission file he had received, and he was dumbfounded.

"Why would the Hyuga Clan issue a D-level mission?"

"Most members of the Hyuga clan are out on missions, so the manpower is naturally not very sufficient." Ibiki, who was responsible for supervising the task, put his hands on the table and said, "It's just a D-level mission, so go ahead."

After accepting the mission and walking out of the Hokage Building, Akimichi Suikage felt deeply outrageous.

It seems that you must stay away from Class [-] at critical times in the future, and make every D-level mission more difficult for yourself.

"Forget it." Akimichi Shuijing sighed, holding his forehead and walked towards the headquarters of the Hyuuga clan.

It is rare for the Hyuga clan to issue missions. After all, few outsiders enter the Hyuga clan's residence.He didn't know what the mission would be, but he had a damn little expectation in his heart.

No, as long as it's not that outrageous mission.

Looking for the address, Qiudao Shuijing knocked on the door of the clan leader's mansion.There was a soft sound of footsteps inside, followed by a gentle answer to the door.

"Just a moment please."

Listening to the voice and youthfulness, when Akimichi Shuijing opened the door, he realized that the person coming was Hinata Natsu.Wearing a maid outfit, it seemed that she couldn't take long steps while running at a trot, and she was still out of breath when she spoke.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"It's okay." Akimichi Shuijing took out the mission wooden sign and Shiina Rin's identity wooden sign, "Please check."

Hearing this, Hinata Xia's expression immediately returned to his capable look.He carefully checked the results and vouchers one by one, then handed them back to Akimichi Suijing with both hands and bowed.

"no problem."

"Okay, I have a question about that mission." Akidao Shuijing paused, then took out the mission scroll, opened it and said hesitantly.

"Hyuuga Clan, clan, Hyuga Hizashi-sama... take care of..."

"The mission didn't go into details, it just said taking care of...is it flowers and plants?"

"Eh? Did I miss something?" Hinata Xia leaned over and stared at the file for a long time, her face instantly turned red.

"Sorry! It's all my fault for being too hasty!" Hinata Xia kept bowing.

"No, uh, it's okay. Now can you tell me what the specific mission is?" Qiudao Shuijing coughed slightly, already having a bad premonition in his heart.

"It's not about taking care of the flowers and plants, it's about taking care of Hinata Hanabi-sama." Hinata Natsu said.

"Ah?" Qiu Daoshuijing frowned, as if he was doubting whether he heard correctly.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? Mr. Shuijing." Hinata Xia had obviously remembered his name through the signature on the mission scroll.

"There are many questions." Akimichi Suikage took a step back and stammered, "Um...Miss Hinata Hanabi is from the clan, right? Is it really appropriate to entrust such an important person to my care?"

"Isn't Miss Hinata Xia more suitable than me? I think I'm still..."

"That's not the case, Mr. Shui Jing!" Hinata Xia bowed again, "Please help me."

"I have something important to do and I have to leave for a day. Master Hinata and Master Hizu are not here either." Hinata Xia said worriedly, "The decision to release the mission was approved by Master Hizu. Please help me."

"No...you don't have to be so polite. Get up first and talk." Qiudao Shuijing swallowed and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Sorry to trouble you." Hinata Xia said, "I will be back before dark. Before that, Hanabi-sama is asking you."

"This is no problem, but..." Shuijing Akimichi asked worriedly, "Miss Hanabi is from the clan, right? Why did she just issue a D-level mission?"

"Because it only meets the requirements of D-level tasks, I originally wanted to increase the level of the task." Hyuga Natsu explained, "But Lord Hyuga Hizashi stopped me. He told me that the status of the Hyuga clan clan is the same as that of ordinary people. no difference."

What an official way of speaking, Akimichi Shuijing couldn't help complaining in his heart, but he could only keep a polite smile on his face.

"I will try my best, don't worry." Akimichi Shuijing responded politely.

"Excuse me, I'll leave first." Hinata Xia bowed and left in a hurry.

Looking at Hinata Xia's leaving figure, Akimichi Shuijing wanted to speak but held back, thinking to herself, why don't you bring me in and introduce her.

"Strange? What happened to the village again?" Qiudao Shuijing murmured to himself, "There seem to be a lot of things going on recently."

The news about the Qingcheng clan's rebellion yesterday seems to have been deliberately blocked. Anyway, Qiu Dao Shuijing has not heard a single comment until today.That matter looked like a conspiracy no matter how you looked at it, and it was probably about a high-level plan or something.

Akimichi Suikage had no time to meddle in those nosy matters. After stepping into the gate of the Hyuga clan chief's mansion, he walked directly to the backyard.

There was a little girl sitting on the swing under the tree, looking a little lonely.Akimichi Suikage recognized it at a glance as Hanabi, whom he met in a ramen shop two weeks ago, and the two of them had a ramen acquaintance.

"You seem to have something on your mind?" Qiudao Shuijing stood in front of the swing and asked with a smile.

"Is it you?" Hinata Hanabi raised her head, showing a look of surprise.

"To be honest, I'm also surprised." Akimichi Shuijing said with a smile, "I am the one responsible for taking care of you today."

"Why are you making that expression? Did you have a fight with your sister?"

"No, sister is very busy." Hanabi said aggrievedly.

"I've been really busy lately." Akimichi Suikage said, "The life of a ninja is like this, and I probably can't even guarantee the time to rest."

With that said, Akimichi Shuijing sat down on the bench next to him.

"Then why do you want to become a ninja?" Hanabi asked, holding the rope of the swing with both hands and turning her head to stare at the Akimichi Water Mirror.

"Why do you want to be a ninja?" Akimichi Mizukage pondered for a moment and then replied, "Everyone's reasons are different. I just want to make some money and pass the time."
