I draw sword light in the ninja world

In Namikaze Minato's serious introduction, everyone quickly understood the specific content and arrangements of this mission.

The scope of the mission's investigation is the Kingdom of Frost, which is very close to the Kingdom of Thunder, and the borders of some surrounding small countries such as the Kingdom of Dou.

In order to ensure efficiency, after each team arrives in the Kingdom of Frost, they need to act separately, continuously expand the scope of investigation, and collect useful intelligence.

Moreover, each team must maintain a certain degree of contact. In case of emergency, they can assist each other as much as possible, while protecting themselves and avoiding unnecessary battles. After all, their mission is to investigate, not to kill the enemy.

As an elite among the elite, Namikaze Minato was naturally able to learn more information. He knew that the high-level officials speculated that Kumogakure's recent changes were probably due to Sunagakure's recent conspicuous movements. In other words, they were most likely to be Nishi. Enter.

But the East cannot relax its vigilance.

In the end, Namikaze Minato arranged for the Akimichi Dingza team to go to the eastern front for reconnaissance, and the other three teams to conduct reconnaissance along the western front.

After making arrangements, the four teams, led by Minato, quickly left the village and headed towards the northern border.

After a day of traveling quickly, everyone left the Country of Fire in the evening. After a short rest, they drove for another three hours, and finally arrived at the edge of a canyon on the western border of the Country of Yu at night.

Minato stopped and said to the people behind him, "Let's get here first today."

Hearing this, everyone stopped immediately, then nodded, and then continued to watch when they should be on duty and rest when they should.

Minato arranged for Iroha and Choza to be on duty in the first half of the night, and him and Shikaku in the second half of the night.

After Baiyun Caiyu and Akimichi Choza left, Hayato skillfully unlocked the seal of the storage scroll, and then only heard a "bang" sound, and two sleeping bags appeared on the ground.

One of the sleeping bags turned out to be pink, which stood out in front of Hayato.

"Ok?"

Huahui looked at the extra pink sleeping bag in front of Hayato with confusion, and couldn't help but ask: "Hayato-kun, whose sleeping bag belongs to him?"

"Iroha-sensei's."

Hayato responded calmly, then casually spread the pink sleeping bag aside, opened his own sleeping bag and got in.

Huahui, on the other hand, looked at the pink sleeping bag on the ground inexplicably, a little lost.

After a while, she also took out her sleeping bag, opened it and placed it next to Hayato.

A faint aroma came, and Hayato turned his head, glanced at her who was slowly lying down, and then withdrew his calm gaze, without any disturbance in his heart.

"Hayato-kun, you and Iroha-sensei have a really good relationship."

Huahui's petite body was huddled in the thick sleeping bag, with only a small head exposed and her small mouth pouting at the edge of the sleeping bag.

"Unlike me, who is so stupid and only brings trouble to Teacher Caiyu. I ask Teacher Caiyu to guide my practice every day. I don't go back to the village until evening every time. I think even Teacher Caiyu should start to annoy me. ..."

"You are the only one who thinks so."

Hayato yawned and said casually: "As long as a disciple who works hard to become stronger is a normal instructor, there is nothing he doesn't like. Although that guy looks strange, let's not talk about anything else. , at least as a teacher, she is still worthy of recognition."

Hearing this, Huahui's expression relaxed slightly.

"Is that so..."

"Read less books that are sad about spring and autumn." Hayato said calmly: "Maybe you won't always have such messy thoughts."

Huahui's little head shrank immediately.

"I...I have never read the kind of book you are talking about..."

"is it?"

"Hmm..."

Hayato quietly looked at the cold moon hanging high in the sky, with a hint of depth in the corners of his eyes.

"By the way, Teacher Caiyu has been guiding you to practice during this period. Have you gained anything?"

Speaking of this, Huahui's little head popped out.

"It's hard to say exactly what it will be." She thought for a moment, and then said: "But...probably...if we encounter any emergencies again, I should be able to help Hayato-kun... ....”

As he spoke, the little hands in the sleeping bag quietly clenched a little, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"Even if I'm not qualified to ask you to rely on me, at least I won't be like before, not only unable to help, but also holding you back..."

Hayato didn't look at her, his eyes didn't shift at all, he just looked at the night sky quietly.

"Really? That's fine."

The words were as plain as ever, without sadness or joy.

There was no talking all night, and before dawn the next day, everyone got up and set off north again.

After another day's journey, everyone finally arrived at the Kingdom of Frost.

Although the Kingdom of Frost is not a miscellaneous small country, its national power is still far behind the five major countries. There are ninja villages in the country, but there are no famous masters. They are ordinary and adopt a neutral attitude towards Konoha and Kumogakure. No alliance and no offense.

Some small countries located around Frost Ninja Village have good relations with Konoha, and some of them are still allies.

Of course, in the ninja world, the so-called covenant is actually just a piece of paper, and the binding force is maintained solely by interests.

At least Hayato never believed in the so-called covenant.

Whether it was the Kingdom of Frost or those small countries that had a good relationship with Konoha, as long as he faced ninjas, he would remain vigilant enough.

The group of people scouted the northern border of the Kingdom of Frost for two days. During this period, not to mention the traces of large-scale ninja operations, they could not find even any traces of small-scale operations. It seemed that they were looking in the wrong direction.

So Minato decisively gave the order and acted according to the original plan. Except for the Ding Zao squad who continued to investigate eastward, everyone else headed westward.

Then, another day later, the three teams heading west separated again and went to three neighboring small countries to perform reconnaissance missions.

Among them, Iroha's squad is responsible for rushing to the country of Dou, which has an alliance with Konoha and has always followed Konoha's lead, to conduct investigations.

After separating from the other two teams and rushing to the Kingdom of Dou, Caiyu's tight face relaxed inexplicably.

"Finally I don't have to act with those guys anymore."

Hearing this, Hayato couldn't help but look at her curiously.

Huahui was also stunned, and then asked subconsciously:

"Iroha-sensei don't you want to act with Minato-sensei?"

"Ah."

Iroha nodded slightly.

"why?"

Hua Hui was puzzled: "Teacher Caiyu and Mr. Minato are the same generation, right? And Mr. Minato often mentions you. It seems like you have a pretty good relationship."

"Relationships and stuff, it's not bad."

Caiyu did not deny it, but responded calmly.

"Then why..."

"It's nothing." Caiyu shook his head and said bluntly, "It's just that I'm too tired to do missions with him."

Huahui's doubts deepened.

"But... Iroha-sensei, I remember that Minato-sensei was a very powerful jounin, especially his teleportation technique that can instantly move behind the enemy. That kind of technique is impossible even if I work hard all my life." Let’s learn it... it should be easy to work with such a powerful ninja, right?”

"That's not an instant body technique."

Caiyu shook her head again, but she did not go further on this topic and said instead: "Also, when I said tired, I didn't mean the mission."

"what is that?"

Hayato asked casually.

"Well...how should I put it..."

Caiyu tilted his head, thought for a while, and then said: "It should be considered that the compatibility is too bad... well... to put it simply, they just can't get along."
