Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

The next day, at around six o'clock in the morning, at Konoha's main gate.

"this……"

Shibata, who was in charge of the village inspection, widened his eyes slightly, looked at the boy on the left and then at the boy on the right, opened and closed his mouth slightly, but was a little surprised and speechless.

Even Nanmu, who was assisting at the side, was full of surprise and confusion, looking at the two teenagers in front of him.

"I'm sorry, can you hurry up, this is the task assigned to me by Hokage, I must set off as soon as possible."

Regarding this, one of the two teenagers in front of him handed over the permission in his hand and said very politely.

"oh oh!"

Seeing the Hokage license, Shibata, who was in charge of the audit, came back to his senses no matter how shocked he was, and hurriedly took the license that had been handed over to him, and checked it.

Just looking at it, I still couldn't help but look at the two teenagers in front of me.

After a while, the permission of the Fourth Hokage was confirmed.

Then, under the boy's irresistible reminder, he opened his mouth and said, "Verification is completed, you can leave the village."

"Well, thank you!"

Regarding this, the young man nodded, but he didn't show any impatience or dissatisfaction because of Shibata's delay of time. He just nodded and was about to walk out of the gate.

"Wait...wait a moment, Chiba-sama! Please wait a moment!"

However, at this moment, Nanmu who was assisting at the side suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly called to stop the two teenagers in front of him.

But because Xu was too anxious, when he said this, his voice was almost a little raised, and the whole person was propped on the desktop of the review point, half protruding out.

"What's wrong?"

In this regard, the two teenagers stopped at the same time, turned their heads, and asked.

"Chi... Chiba-sama! Please, please wait, there are some things, according to the rules, we must ask clearly, even with the permission of Hokage-sama, we must also ask clearly."

Seeing the two teenagers in front of him stop, Nanmu almost took a deep breath to hide his nervousness, but he still spoke with some embarrassment.

"ask clearly?"

Hearing this, the boy who was stopped, that is, Qianye, was slightly taken aback, and after frowning slightly, he asked.

Could it be that... was seen through?

impossible!

These two are just ordinary Chunin. Although it is a little disrespectful to say that, their combat effectiveness and combat experience should not be very outstanding, and they should not be seen through.

But his heart tightened slightly.

"Excuse me, this... this should be your shadow clone?"

And hearing Qianye's questioning tone, the young-looking Nanmu swallowed a mouthful of saliva almost subconsciously, and said in a slightly rigid manner.

At the same time, the hand pointed to the boy behind Chiba.

That, the boy who looks exactly like Chiba.

Was it really seen through?

But as soon as these words came out, Qianye's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the boy pointed at who was exactly the same as herself, and the boy also subconsciously glanced at herself, but the expression on his face was somewhat similar to his Similarly, the face is slightly tensed.

"Well, yes, one of us is a shadow clone."

However, although his heart was full of doubts and his face was a little unconsciously tense, he still replied very simply.

"Really? Is it a shadow clone?"

To this, Nanmu nodded subconsciously. Qianye's blunt answer and the slightly tense expression made him unable to react.

I... what am I doing?

Unexpectedly, actually questioning that Lord Chiba, I... I, me, what the hell are I doing!

But at this moment, his head was in chaos, all these thoughts, for a while, he was a little unable to think.

"The reason why I have to use the shadow clone to go out of the village is because my mission is a secret mission, and I can't let the enemy know exactly where I am going, so I have to use the shadow clone since I went out. I'm sorry, I can't remove my shadow clone, if you think it's inappropriate, I can go with you to the Fourth Hokage-sama to verify the authenticity. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to your work."

Seeing the nervousness on Nanmu's face, Qianye answered directly without waiting for him to ask.

He directly said what this Nanmu wanted to know.

After all, he bowed slightly.

"No no! Master Qianye, you are serious, just to be on the safe side, after all..."

Regarding this, the young-looking Shibata next to Nanmu hurriedly explained.

"I know, I've done it here before, and I know the rules here, but please understand my situation, it's really impossible..."

Hearing this, Qianye interrupted his words without waiting for him to finish speaking, and expressed his understanding of their actions.

"No! The mission ordered by Hokage-sama is important, please! Please go out! I wish you the best of luck!"

Regarding this, even Nanmu couldn't bear it, and couldn't wait for Qianye to speak, so he let him go.

"Thank you! If you have any trouble because of this matter, please let me know. I will explain it myself when I come back!"

Hearing this, Qianye smiled gratefully, and then, after leaving such a sentence, she walked towards the gate and left with the shadow clone in a fair and honest manner.

"Snapped!"

But when Qianye disappeared from the sight of the two of them, Shibata suddenly patted the back of Nanmu's head, with a look of sullenness on his face, and said excitedly: "Look at you, you even suspected Master Qianye, and let him Chiba-sama is worried."

"pain!"

And under this beat, Nanmu subconsciously cried out in pain.

"This... there is no way, Shibata-senpai, according to the regulations, even if there is a mission permit, if the number of people does not meet the requirements, you need to ask, and if it is serious, you can directly detain it."

Regarding this, Nanmu said with an aggrieved face after crying out for pain.

He is acting according to the rules, what's wrong!

"The shadow clone can be regarded as an extra number of people? Could it be that the shadow clone is not the person? Besides, Master Chiba is obviously very embarrassed. This is a secret mission. How dare you stop the secret mission issued by Master Hokage himself? If you delay What about the itinerary? What if the mission fails and the village is lost? Hokage-sama personally promulgated the mission, and Chiba-sama went to complete the mission, do you think it will be an insignificant mission?"

Upon hearing this, Shibata almost jumped up violently, and almost slapped him again, but seeing Nanmu's aggrieved expression, he didn't shoot any more except for reprimanding.

"Yes, I understand……"

Hearing the senior's reprimand, but unable to refute it, Nanmu, who also thought that he had gone too far in stopping Master Chiba, had no choice but to speak with a bitter face.

"Oh... But, your attitude is still very good."

For this, Shibata sighed, but praised.

"Yeah?"

Immediately, a gleam of joy flashed across Nanmu's face.

"Don't be too complacent. Sometimes, we have to distinguish between the rules and the priority of tasks. We can't just follow the rules. Alas, I didn't know it before. It turns out that Lord Chiba is such an easy-going person. He only knows that he is a war fighter. The super genius who beheaded thousands of people in the middle of the world, but he didn't think that he was such a gentle person. Although he was several years younger than us, he didn't look like a child at all, it was... too unbelievable!"

Regarding this, Shibata couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"yes!"

Hearing this, Nanmu couldn't help but look in the direction where Qianye was leaving, with a bit of hope on his face, he responded.

Then, the next moment, a mission permit was handed over again.

"Excuse me, we have to go out to the village for a mission."

A voice sounded again.

Immediately, Nanmu and Shibata had to put away their emotions, took over the license, and started working.

"Um?"

But when they took the license and raised their heads, their expressions changed suddenly, and they froze on the spot.

Deer... Lord Lujiu?

besides……

Today... today, why... why are there so many big men!

Their hearts were full of horror!
