Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Haw... chirp!"

The sound of birdsong under the bright sunshine in the morning broke the silence of the night.

Ever since Namikaze Minato talked with Hirohiko and decided that Hirohiko would join Kakashi's route for the Kannabi Bridge mission, there was nothing to say for a night.

And this night's encounter also made Kakashi and the others exhausted physically and mentally. Even after Obito talked with Namikaze Minato, he fell asleep before he was entangled in Kakashi's problem for a long time. Hugging Xue Nai, there was no movement.

As for Kakashi, he may be the most tired one among the three. After all, for him now, Chidori's actual battle has really consumed a lot of energy, and he is also the one who sleeps the most deeply among them.

Namikaze Minato was guarded all night, but for him, this night, compared to the days of running around on the battlefield during this period, was considered a fairly easy night, and there was no big problem.

As for Hirohiko, after confirming that he could stay and continue the Kannabi Bridge mission, he fell asleep contentedly. Although it was not as heavy as Kakashi and others, it also guaranteed that the mission would not be affected the next day.

"It's much better!"

At this time, Lin's relieved voice sounded amidst the birds chirping.

At this moment, she was changing the bandage for Kakashi who was sitting on the ground with his shirt off. While speaking, she was wrapping a new bandage around Kakashi, and the old blood-stained bandage was thrown on her. Half kneeling at the feet of the ground.

"However, if you force it too hard, the wound may open, so be careful."

And after these words of relief, she couldn't help reminding her again.

"It's almost time to hit the road!"

At this time, Namikaze Minato, who had packed up his luggage, looked back at Kakashi and the two of them, and Obito who was doing stretching exercises woke up, and he had already taken care of everything, and even carried Xue Nai on his back Hirohiko, who was on the road, opened his mouth and said.

"yes!"

Hearing his teacher's voice, the three of Kakashi hurriedly responded.

"yes."

Later, it was Hirohiko's voice.

Hirohiko...

As for Hirohiko's sound, the three of Kakashi looked over in surprise.

However, when they saw Hirohiko's poker-faced face that had softened significantly, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but slightly curled up.

Along the way, Hirohiko has been somewhat reluctant. Now it seems that he should have calmed down and joined our team.

With a slightly relaxed smile on the corner of their mouths, a thought of relief flashed through their hearts.

Next, there was not much to say. After packing everything up, a group of five people followed the pace of Namikaze Minato and followed the original route all the way, until they walked several kilometers and arrived at a bamboo forest. stopped.

"So, it's almost done. From now on, the soldiers will be divided into two groups. Let's work hard."

After looking at the bamboo forest, Namikaze Minato, who stopped in his tracks, lowered his head slightly, and said to the four young ninjas standing in front of him.

"Yes, Minato-sensei."

After hearing Namikaze Minato's words, Kakashi, Rin, and Obito all hurriedly responded, while Hirohiko kept silent and nodded silently.

"Yesterday's enemies only came out to investigate alone occasionally, and they will become team battles later, so be careful."

Seeing the firmness in the disciples' eyes, Namikaze Minato's face was serious, and he couldn't help admonishing him a few times.

"Get on your way, Captain."

And just as his words fell, Obito's voice sounded a little abruptly.

Immediately, Kakashi, who was looking at his teacher, suddenly turned his head, and looked at his comrades beside him in disbelief, seeing his slightly staring eyes, apparently he did not expect Obito to say such a thing.

Even Dailin looked over in surprise.

On Obito's side, Hirohiko's poker-faced mouth was slightly relaxed, and an inexplicable smile flashed in his eyes.

As for Obito who was talking, his eyes were slightly turned away, and his lips curled up, looking unhappy.

Regarding this, Namikaze Minato smiled slightly, then looked at Hirohiko next to Obito, his eyes fell on Yukina on Hirohiko's back, and then said.

"Then, next, Hirohiko will perform missions with you as one of you, Kakashi..."

"Yes, I understand!"

Hearing the teacher mentioning himself, Kakashi instantly reacted from his surprise at Obito, responded, and gave Hirohiko a compliment.

Hirohiko returned his gaze and nodded.

The two of them were not even surprised by Obito and Rin. They also had a good friendship in private. Even Hirohiko lived in Kakashi's house for a while. Hirohiko was a little reluctant before, but now, Hirohiko no longer rejects them because of Chiba's affairs, and they feel that they can cooperate to carry out the task together.

Moreover, they also have a certain understanding of Hirohiko's strength, and he is a genius-level figure in an elite family such as the Uchiha clan. With him, the success rate of the mission has also been greatly improved.

"Well, next, let Xue Nai leave it to me, and I will be responsible for sending her back to the village safely."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Minato Namikaze nodded silently, and then signaled Hirohiko to put down Xue Nai, and he would use the flying thunder god to bring her back to the village.

Although it requires quite a bit of chakra, after all, Yukina is a direct descendant of the Hyuga clan and has a great relationship. Compared with this, this chakra is nothing at all.

"Yes, Minato-sensei."

Hearing this, Hirohiko hurriedly removed Xue Nai from his back, and carefully placed it in front of him, while the Sharingan in his eyes slowly faded away.

"Then, come out..."

When Hirohiko unloaded Xue Nai, Namikaze Minato squatted down, pressed one hand lightly on Xue Nai's body, and was about to issue an order to disband.

"Chiba!"

But at this moment, Xue Nai, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up, and let out an exclamation, which made Namikaze Minato subconsciously stop launching Flying Thunder God and give orders to disband.

"Xue Nai!"

But at this moment, Hirohiko, Obito, and Lin spoke in surprise at the same time.

"Where... is this place? Lin? Obito? Kakashi? Why are you here? And... Minato-sensei? Hirohiko, what's going on? What happened?"

At this very moment, Xue Nai, who woke up and sat up, quickly noticed the abnormality, rolled her eyes, and started to ask questions, but during the questioning, she had already stood up, and looked up, down, left, and right again.

"this……"

And this barrage of questions stopped Kakashi and the others, but Hirohiko's face was obviously excited, and he seemed to forget his words in excitement for a while, looking at Xue Nai who just opened his mouth, but Not a word came out.

As for, Minakame Minato also asked the same question, but there was a bit of bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

Now...

I feel like I'm going to be in trouble!

At this time, did you wake up?

But his heart was even more bitter than this smile.
