Naruto's caged bird

The country of ghosts.

Quiet Ridge.

Hizashi stood on the treetops and looked into the distance.

Underfoot, the forest extending from the Land of Fire suddenly disappeared a kilometer away, replaced by a group of ancient man-made buildings.

The further background of the building complex is a series of yellow rocks rising from the north.

The wind blew through the forest and mountain rocks, taking away the heat in the town. It also brought the rustling sound of the forest trees and the howling sounds of various holes. People who have no faith in their hearts will always feel cold inside

The Kingdom of Ghosts is thus sandwiched between the extended corners of the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Earth, and is inherited.

"teacher."

Metkai's energetic voice called from behind Hizashi. A few seconds later, Kai, who was jumping rapidly, stopped suddenly and swayed on the tree beside him, and said in a hurry:

"Teacher, your speed is too fast. It seems that I have to work harder to catch up with you."

Yuhi Hong followed closely and landed next to Kai. After calming down for a while, she glared at Hizashi, her little ticking eyes seemed to say: Teacher, is it really okay for you to lead the team like this? What if we encounter an ambush on the road? Aren't we in danger?

Hizashi ignored Kurenai's complaints because no one would ambush a Hinata with her Byakugan open.

What's more, if there is an ambush, the enemy's primary target will be like the mission of the Kingdom of Waves in the plot. It is best to choose him as the leader who quickly opens the way ahead.

Ambush, who will take care of the miscellaneous soldiers first and expose their whereabouts?

Hizashi blinked and rolled his eyes a little sourly. The reason why he kept distance between the team with his eyes open like this was because he hoped that the three little guys behind him who were going on a dangerous mission for the first time could have some team spirit to hold the team together when he was not around.

However, judging from the current formation, it was obvious that Kai was just busy catching up with himself, while Hong, who was weak in physical strength, hurriedly followed reluctantly. Sarutobi Asuma, who was still hanging behind, seemed to be thinking about something.

人生

The first time I went out to perform a high-level mission, the loose snake formation showed no cooperation.

Hizashi suddenly had a headache, and then thought about how to train the three little guys in the miko mission that must be sealed in this plot.

After thinking for a long time, Hizashi, who seemed to have thought of something, looked at the tallest building in the distant town and said:

"Let's go."

Kai and Yuhi Kurenai nodded excitedly, and Asuma followed immediately. After several jumps, the four members of Team 7 landed on the road leading to the Kingdom of Ghosts, and then slowly walked toward the center of the town like travelers.

The Kingdom of Ghosts is a small country where ordinary days seem to be in a summer festival.

Leaning against the forest and mountain rocks, the sound of ritual music and chants floats

Wherever there are people, there is life, and the legends of ghosts and ghosts seem to be drowned out by the human voice.

At this time, there seemed to be no rebels in the country as mentioned in Hizashi's intelligence, and it was still peaceful and quiet. Especially at dusk after the seventh class had been traveling all day, it seemed to be very peaceful.

Hizashi was the first to walk on the street leading to the shrine maiden's palace, followed closely by Yuhi Kurenai, who kept playing with the various totems, ghosts, and shikigami small objects that had not yet been collected at the stalls on the roadside, with curiosity in her eyes. .

After Kai took a look, he was no longer attracted to those messy little things. Instead, he scoffed, feeling that the sum of them was not as good as a pair of dumbbells and a lead weight.

Asuma sniffed the smoke that curled up after the burning, and inserted the pure man's shark teeth in his hand.

It wasn't until they reached the shrine maiden's palace enshrined in the mission destination that Team 7 stopped at the gate, which was guarded by the temple's guards. The guard on duty blocked the way and stepped forward to check:

"who are you"

"Konoha ninja. Accept the mission and come to protect the current generation of miko."

Hizashi handed over the scroll that Sandai had given him, which was engraved with the same pattern as the palace flag. After checking, the guards of the temple immediately led him and the three disciples into the palace in the middle of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

The palace gate, which is higher than the north gate of Konoha, is embossed with various ghosts and spirits.

They seem to be inlaid and sealed, with copper nails
