[Naruto] Namikaze Ninjaden

"This mission is an S-level secret. Anyone who leaks it, no matter what the purpose, intentional or not, will be treated as a traitor. You are all people I trust. You must be willing to sacrifice at any time."

Facing Kakashi's dagger-like gaze, the three of them replied decisively: "Understood!"

"Well... that's it. I will explain the mission next." Kakashi grabbed his hair and his tone suddenly became a little lazy, "The Kingdom of Water has been closed for many years, and we have no idea of ​​the specific strength and intelligence of Kirigakure Village. The lack of the latest information makes this mission even more difficult. You must keep your condition at its best."

"Our mission is to help the remnants of the Minazuki clan leave Kirigakure and safely escort them to the border of the Land of Rain!"

Hearing these words, Itachi and Yi Ren were horrified. Accepting the defected ninja clan was directly interfering in the political affairs of other countries' ninja villages, which was tantamount to provocation! It may even lead to a direct deterioration in the relationship between the two countries. Even if friction occurs, even war is not impossible.

Yi Ren took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Kakashi's mask. He hesitated for a long time, pursed his lips, then looked away, took a breath, and said: "I know that as an ANBU, you shouldn't ask too many questions about the mission. But, isn’t it too risky? Once our identities are revealed, we may all become outcasts in the village..."

"So don't reveal your identity!" Kakashi immediately interrupted him and said quickly, "This is the key to the mission. The village will not give up on any ninja easily. No matter whether the mission can be completed or not, no one can know. We are the ANBU of Konoha."

Feeling Yiren's serious gaze, Kakashi wanted to laugh.

He doesn't know what the mentoring jounin taught him during his genin days, but he is still so crazy. Sometimes he knows what he cannot say or do, and knows how serious the consequences will be, but he still has to do it without fear at all.

"In addition to you, there are other ANBU members performing tasks together, under my direct command. If there are no accidents, you will not see them. As an ANBU, I don't want to hear your doubts for the second time, do you understand?"

"...Yes." Yi Ren lowered his head and returned to his original position, biting his lip under the mask, and began to quickly analyze the information on this mission in his mind.

Tenzou knew the content of the mission in advance. It seemed that the meaning above was that if something unexpected happened and the situation reached an uncontrollable situation, they were allowed to abandon the mission, but their relationship with Konoha must not be exposed and let Kirigakure know.

If the task is not required to be completed, then this task should not be that important to Konoha, but in this case, why take such a risk and send ANBU to carry it out?

Following Kakashi in ANBU for many years, Tenzo gradually understood that this village was not as peaceful as it appeared. This mission was not for Konoha to save a remnant of the ninja clan who was rejected by the ninja village and suffered suppression and massacre out of kindness, but rather that there were As for the other real purpose, probably only the top brass of Konoha know what it is.

The route takes the waterway from the Land of Fire directly to the sea, and arrives at the Country of Yu. After making repairs and preparations, it sets off to the port of the Country of Water.

The ANBU prepared false identities so that they could enter the Kingdom of Water smoothly. Although the Kingdom of Water is now closed, it is still an island country on the sea near the mainland. It does not conduct trade and the domestic resources are simply insufficient, not to mention the need to support a five-level ninja village. In Kirigakure, trade routes have never been completely cut off.

After arriving in the Kingdom of Yu by boat disguised as ordinary people, the group changed into business travel attire. In order to fit their status, they also packed a lot of goods with them.

He only had one day to stay, and at night after a busy day, Yiren still found time to soak in the hot springs at the hotel. The hot springs in Yuno Kuni are famous in the Ninja world. When he read about it in the book, Yiren thought that if he had the opportunity to come to Yuno Kuni, Be sure to go to the hot springs to experience it.

"It's good to run so far." In the hot spring, Yiren stretched his body, rested his head on his hands, and leaned against the edge of the pool.

The door opened with a click, and Itachi walked in wearing a bath towel: "We don't have much time, we have to leave overnight, Master."

Yiren opened one eye and glanced at him, then curled his eyes and showed a big smile.

In the arranged identity, Yiren played the role of a young master from a businessman's family. Among the others, Itachi was the most suitable for the identity of the eldest young master. However, Kakashi said that Yiren's temperament was more similar, so he had to reluctantly accept it and enjoy the company of his boss. The superficial obedience of the seniors.

"There is no one else here, and the squad leader is not here either. Itachi, tell me, are you not curious about this mission at all?"

"Is it really necessary for Konoha to support this ninja clan? Even if something happens, with the abilities of your Uchiha clan, ice release doesn't matter."

If there were other team members present, Yiren would not bring up this sensitive topic no matter how indifferent it was, but Itachi was different, he would never tell it. Yiren believed that with Itachi's identity and analytical ability, he would have opinions that he could not have imagined.

Itachi came over and soaked in the hot spring. Seeing Yi Ren's comfortable expression, his nerves, which were a little tired after many days of traveling, relaxed a lot.

"Who knows..."

"Perhaps the purpose is not outside Konoha at all, but there is just no need to let us know." Itachi said. Being sent to perform such a task, he had a vague feeling that there might be some connection with the family, but it is not important right now.

If something really happens to the village again, will the current Uchiha still be a help to Konoha? Will the village still believe them? The unbelievably powerful combat power will become an obstacle to the village.

Hearing his words, Yiren raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. If you don’t want to talk about this topic, then forget it.

Turning around and lying down by the pool, Yi Ren put his chin in his hands, squeezed his still immature face into a rounder shape, and sighed: "This mission is too urgent. If we can't go back, it will be really pitiful for Naruto to be alone at home."

"Aren't you afraid of dying at all?" Itachi was really curious and came over to ask.

"Those who have killed people, no matter how brave they are, will be somewhat afraid of death." Yi Ren glanced at his expression from the corner of his eyes, and then lay down, "What about you? Itachi, no matter what I do, I will leave it to you. There is no need to worry about anything anymore, it feels extremely reliable. An outstanding person like you is very enviable."

"Really? I didn't expect you to envy others."

The two chatted for a while and lay in the hot spring for more than ten minutes. Itachi stood up and it was almost time to set off.

At the same time, the door of the hot spring compartment was opened, and Tian Zang poked his head in silently, with a gloomy look on his face: "Get ready to set off, you two."

"Wow!"

Under the dim light, Tianzang's terrifying expression was so frightening that Yiren's hair almost stood up. Heck, if he hadn't been so young, he would have had a heart attack.

"Senior Tenzo, can you please stop trying to scare people?" He breathed a long sigh of relief and said angrily, "Why don't you just spend more money on the hot springs? It's not your money. Why are you so resentful? Kakashi I ask you to pay for every treat, and I think you are very willing to do so. This style of yours will cause dissatisfaction among your subordinates, huh."

After saying that, he sank into the water and a string of bubbles appeared.

Tianzang raised his hands and said, "If you were in charge of managing the funds, you wouldn't say this. Moreover, you are not allowed to directly call the team members by their real names during the mission."

"Gulu gulu..." Another string of bubbles floated up.

Itachi shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Senior Tenzo, you don't know that he is seasick. If he doesn't make some compensation here for the bumpy journey, he will be even more uncomfortable."

Late at night, the port of Yunokuni was still busy. Cargo ships from many countries were transferring here, and a large part of them were from Konoha.

Their small passenger ship was specially designed to carry people who went to the Kingdom of Water to do business, but they were not big merchants and were very inconspicuous in the port. Because of this, they took this ship.

After getting on the boat, Yi Ren lay down on the bed in the room. As soon as he went out to sea, he became seasick. The things in front of him were shaking so hard that he felt like vomiting. He felt uncomfortable standing up.

He had never been on a boat since he was a child. This was the first time he had been floating on the sea for so long, and he almost collapsed.

Kakashi opened the door and saw the person lying on the bed humming, revealing a tuft of golden hair outside the quilt. "You will only feel more uncomfortable if you lie like this. Get up and eat something. You can go ashore within the day." Putting a plate of grilled fish on the table, Kakashi pulled Yi Ren out of the bed, held his shoulders and let him go. He remained in a sitting position, "I didn't expect you to be seasick. How can you do ANBU like this?"

"I didn't know I was seasick before I got on the boat." When I smelled the aroma of grilled fish, my stomach growled immediately, and I didn't have time to have a cold war with Kakashi. I stretched out my hand to grab it tremblingly. Kakashi sighed and gave it to Yi The man brought it to his eyes and said, "It's really troublesome... After this mission, you have to overcome your seasickness. You can't handle it under any circumstances."

"What's so difficult about this?" Yi Ren held the chopsticks and took the meat into his mouth, spitting out the fish bones accurately. "It's just like practicing ninjutsu. Once or twice is not enough. Dozens or hundreds of times, you will naturally get used to it. ”

Kakashi sometimes had to lament that even he admired Yiren for being cruel to him, going crazy without stopping, and risking his life as a common occurrence.

Of course, this is a small problem that no one needs to remind.

"You have teammates. You don't need to face problems alone. You only have one life and it is important to everyone. Don't be too stubborn in the future."

Yiren, who was eating fish, stopped and raised a pair of clear blue eyes to look at him. Kakashi can still say such things. In the past, he would never say more than a word. Once he spoke, it would just make people feel annoying.

It is still unclear why Kakashi was so cold and gloomy at that time. It seems that something happened but was forgotten by his younger self.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kakashi felt awkward, coughed, stood up and put the plate with only fish bones on the table.

"What's the look in my eyes?" Yi Ren lowered his head and thought for a moment, "I don't mean anything else, I don't have any malice at all, and I definitely don't mean to say anything bad about you..."

Before he could finish talking, Kakashi threw something over: "I'm giving you this, so you don't have to burn your hands when you practice in the future."

Yiren stretched out his hand to catch it, and saw that it was a pair of black gauntlets. Ah...could these be the blade gauntlets made of special materials that have high resistance to fire escape chakra? I originally planned to buy one, but it was too expensive and I never decided to do it. Because I am not very good at practicing Fire Release now, I always feel that using such a good device is a bit wasteful.

"Thank you, I will remember you!" The voice in the room stopped, "Ugh..." Kakashi rolled his eyes speechlessly.
