Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

In general, the 36th Patrol's ninja configuration is very comprehensive, with the five elements of ninjutsu, illusion techniques, sensory tracking, physical techniques, and secret techniques. It can be said that there are no shortcomings in all aspects.

Dihuangwan and the other two also introduced themselves to Maruboshi Kosuke and the other two, and the six of them could be said to have had a preliminary understanding of each other.

This patrol mission is on the east coast of the Fire Country. The area that Dihuangwan and his six men are responsible for is ten kilometers in radius. Within the coastline is a dense forest. The terrain of the dense forest is relatively complex, but fortunately there are no mountains. The terrain of the rest of the patrol area is relatively simple.

Three hours later, the 36th patrol team arrived at the designated location and officially began a three-week patrol mission.

Captain Maruboshi Kosuke made the following distribution of personnel: Dihuangwan and Anima's group would defend the coastline, Okamura Taro and Inuzuka Yoru's group would patrol the dense forest, and Maruboshi Kosuke and Kurama Feiyun's group would guard the team's temporary stationing point, ready to provide support to the front and rear at any time.

The three groups are changed once a week.

The team's base was in a hidden location in the dense forest, two kilometers away from the defense area of ​​Dihuangwan and the other two.

The coastline is nothing but sandy beaches and rocks. The rocks are not very undulating and can be seen almost entirely outside the dense forest. Dihuangwan and Anima basically hide in the woods all the time, except for catching fish to fill their stomachs.

During this period, Dihuangwan's grilled fish won praise from the three Anima members, which made Maruxing Gujie unable to resist and made a pot of fish soup noodles, which made several team members praise it and say that this mission was so happy!

A few days passed and the patrol area was peaceful, but fighting broke out in other adjacent patrol areas. The garrison area of ​​Dihuangwan and his men had too few shelters, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was too conspicuous to sneak into the Fire Country from this line of defense, so no enemy ninja chose to sneak in through this area for the time being.

Knowing that other patrol areas were not peaceful, Dihuangwan and his companions did not dare to relax or be careless, and especially strengthened the night patrols.

A week later, the team changed shifts. Dihuangwan and Kurama Feiyun's group patrolled the dense forest in the rear, team leader Maruboshi Kosuke and Inuzuka Yoru deployed the coastline, and Anima and Okamura Taro were stationed to support all parties at any time.

Patrolling the dense forest is mainly to prevent the enemy from sneaking in from other patrol areas, which is actually the most common.

"Dihuangwanjun, this patrol mission took too long. I'm a little homesick. I don't know if my father is carrying out other missions at the sentry post and how he is doing." Kurama Feiyun said.

"Feiyun, don't worry. You are very clear about the teacher's strength. There are basically no illusion ninjas stronger than him in other villages. If there are any, they are strategic ninjas who will not be sent to the Land of Fire at will. Otherwise, it will be a signal for war!" Dihuangwan comforted.

"This mission is indeed long. After all, we have just completed two missions. Not to mention that you are a girl, I, a boy, feel a little homesick. It is very hard for my mother to run the fruit shop alone. When I was in school, I could often help her. Now that I have grown up and become a ninja, I have less and less time to take care of the family." Dihuangwan also sighed.

"However, the purpose of our mission outside is to ensure that the people of the village and the Fire Nation can live and work in peace and contentment! Feiyun, everything is worth it!" Dihuangwan said again.

"Yes, Dihuangwan, you are right!" Kurama Feiyun looked at Dihuangwan seriously.

Then he asked, "Mr. Dihuang Wan, what do you think about the future?"

Dihuangwan pondered for a moment. It wouldn't be long before the Second Ninja World War would break out. He couldn't say that he would become famous in the Second Ninja World War, but his strength must be further improved before that so that he could protect himself and his cherished companions in the Second Ninja World War.

"I have a feeling that the Ninja World War will break out soon. My expectation for the future is to survive the war first!" Dihuangwan said.

Every Ninja World War would last for several years. A real ninja meat grinder, even if he had plug-ins, would not be able to survive. The beings hidden behind the scenes of the Ninja World were too abnormal, making him powerless to resist.

"Dihuangwan-kun, if we can both survive the war, let's get married!" said Kurama Feiyun, with tenderness in his eyes.

Dihuangwan felt as if his head had been hit hard all of a sudden, and his breathing stagnated. Faced with Anma Feiyun's sudden confession and even proposal of marriage, Dihuangwan was completely unprepared.

At this moment, a dangerous warning came from the depths of his soul, "No, it's bad, there is danger!"

Dihuangwan's mind suddenly became clear, and he immediately saw a gray figure rushing towards him. The other party looked at Dihuangwan in astonishment, not expecting that his illusion would be broken in just an instant, but then an even faster attack came.

Dihuangwan realized that he was under attack by the enemy and reacted quickly. As a Tai Chi practitioner, he thought he could easily handle the opponent's speed. He immediately took a step forward and then swung his fist, hitting the opponent in the abdomen. With the two-way impact force, the enemy immediately bent over and lost his resistance.

The whole process takes only a moment!

As the kunai flashed with a cold light, the enemy's neck was cut by Dihuangwan. Only then did Dihuangwan see clearly that this was a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village.

Just after licking the bag, a figure appeared with a whoosh, "Dihuang Wanjun, what's going on? I heard the noise and rushed over immediately!"

Dihuangwan immediately became alert and asked the person who came, "How many colors does Ranwan's hair have?!"

The visitor was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly and replied, "One kind, pure color without any stray hairs!"

Dihuang Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Feiyun, forgive me. The enemy just cast an illusion on me and transformed me into your appearance. I almost got caught. If I had reacted a little slower, you would have been my corpse!"

It turned out that just now, the two were patrolling together. On the way, Anma Feiyun went to the river to fetch water. He was away for a while, and Dihuangwan had no perception ability, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.

"The enemy is from the Hidden Mist Village. He should be a personal guerrilla group. His strength should be that of a Chunin. If I hadn't reacted quickly and let the enemy get close to me and hit him with one strike, it would have been very difficult to take him down!" Dihuangwan said to Kurama Feiyun.

"Let's send a signal to the captain and let them know the situation here!" said Anma Feiyun.

After that, he released a yellow flare.

There are three levels of signal flares: yellow for abnormal conditions, purple for retreat, and red for emergency support. As long as you see a red signal flare, you must go to support immediately, regardless of whether you are performing other tasks.

Soon, in addition to Inuzuka Yoru stationed on the coastline, Maruboshi Kosuke, Anima, and Okamura Taro arrived at the scene. Dihuangwan explained to them what had just happened. Maruboshi Kosuke checked the body again, "Judging from the other party's clothing, he is a Chunin from the Hidden Mist. He should have sneaked in from other lines of defense. It is not ruled out that there are other accomplices!"

"Captain, let's transfer Ye over. He and his ninja dog are good at tracking. We need to check our defense area as soon as possible. Ye will be very useful!" Dihuangwan suggested.

"Okay, Anima has guarded the coastline with you before. Anima will take over Inuzuka Yoru. The rest of us will immediately start checking the defense areas, especially those with water sources!" Maruboshi Kosuke immediately arranged for everyone.

After that, he began to take the lead in checking the defense area of ​​the 36th team.
