Anbu Biography

After everyone sat around the bonfire and Kiyohiko opened his luxurious three-layer lunch box, Shikamaru's mental trauma had reached its peak.

"...I don't think I'll be surprised if you come up with anything else."

He said in a daze.

"Skaia" was used to scraping the fish scales with kunai beside him, and after handling the fish smoothly, he skewered the fish one by one by the side of the campfire, and slowly roasted them around the flames.

"Qing, you seem to have had many wonderful experiences."

Kakashi stared at the swaying flames, and the reflection of the flames was reflected in his pupils, making those eyes that had been tampered with colors lit up: "...Compared to being a god judge, coming back Wouldn't it be a bit uncomfortable to be a ninja?"

"How come, I have received ninja education for most of my life."

Kiyohiko shrugged, and took out chopsticks from his backpack.He just answered casually, and Kakashi just listened casually. Everyone didn't think much about this question.

Time doesn't seem to have left many marks on their bodies—at least in terms of appearance, since the parameters of their bodies have become mature and stable, their appearances have not changed much.

But more traces seemed to be engraved in his heart - Kakashi vaguely remembered that there were many classmates in his same period, and most of them died unexpectedly, leaving nothing behind.

At the age when the first word started, each of those people had dreams.

Asma and Hong's teenage romance has been talked about until now, but Moonlight Hayate died in Konoha's collapse plan.Those who die without permission are the most unreasonable people in the world, they will always pack their dreams into packages without any explanation, and then stuff them in——

then……

"Kakashi, I leave everything to you."

He tilted his head, and the guy sitting on the side was slowly taking chopsticks from the package. Even if he was just sitting on a felled tree trunk, his back was straight, just like the clothes in the tall pavilions in the old days. A dusty noble youth.

——He even occasionally thought maliciously about what such a person would look like when he was on the verge of death.

Uchiha Kiyohiko is without a doubt an exceptionally lucky one among them. He successfully survived the war-torn childhood and adolescence, and lived all the way to the present by accident.But a life built by luck alone is not enough—anyone can become the next Moonlight Gale.

And when that time comes, will he continue to entrust this unfulfilled dream to himself like everyone else?

...That's really a bit difficult, after all, Qing's dream doesn't sound like something that can be easily accomplished.

Just as he was distracted, a rice ball was handed to him.

The owner of that hand stuffed his mouth with food: "There are too many candlestick cuts, do you want to eat together?"

Kiyohiko's words paused: "...Skaia-san?"

The lunch box is neatly stacked with fried shrimp tail tempura, stewed meat with chestnuts, and carefully prepared pickled side dishes. Even the rice balls are neatly pinched, with white sesame seeds and processed fish inside. broken.

Nara Shikamaru also took out the onigiri from the package, and suddenly felt that his plain plum onigiri was not so fragrant.

"Gourmet food is more delicious when everyone shares it together."

Kiyohiko generously placed his lunch box in the middle of several people, signaling Shikamaru to eat together.The three of them sat in front of the bonfire, and together with the grilled fish and the rice balls that Shikamaru came with, they managed to create a picnic atmosphere.

So the black-haired Anbe member even waved at the treetop not far away: "You two also come down and eat together."

Soon, there were two more around the campfire.

Nara Shikamaru is still on guard against the inherently inhuman Fusangshen like the sword, but anyway, the opponent's focus is not on him at all, and for a while, the scene maintains a harmonious harmony.

"This is Qing, your subordinate? I have heard about it for a long time, but the first time I saw it was really shocking——"

Kakashi maintained the image of the "Skaia" vest: "Eat grilled fish? I caught a lot, if you don't eat it, it will be wasted."

Shikamaru:"…………"

In the tense task process, he was brought out of a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Compared with some highly industrialized worlds, the landscaping in the Land of Fire is quite good, and even the trees are of a size that cannot be surrounded by several people.Kakashi used a simple earth escape technique to bury the fish bones and the garbage from the picnic, and he ate the fish slowly.

Kiyohiko couldn't help but glanced at him again - in his impression, the speed at which this guy ate during the war even made it difficult to see that he had taken off his mask. I don't know if his current appearance was specially made to protect the vest of "Skaia". adjustment.

...In the end, why did you have to work so hard to create two sets of identities!

Scanning the crowd sitting around, Kakashi took out a reporter's record book from his backpack, quickly sketched a few strokes, and drew a draft of a profile face - the style is very cartoon, With a human-like head and thin, short limbs, it looks like an emoji on paper.

"Here, look."

He spread out the notebook: "It's pretty good, isn't it?"

The manga villain has a forehead guard wrapped around his right arm, wears an Anbe-style vest, and his hair is tied loosely behind his head, just like Kiyohiko himself.

The two of them sat very close, and together with Kakashi's familiarity with shoulders and backs that Kakashi himself forcibly displayed for the sake of protruding characters, he seemed closer than his teammates who had been promoted all the way to the same ninja team.

"Uh, you..."

In the past, it was Daojian who was so familiar and close. In fact, it has been a long time since he behaved like this with humans... especially when the other party was still acting.

"Isn't it very good? The feature of the intelligence class is that you can visit various countries and see various people and stories...Compared to always nesting in the village, this sounds much more interesting. ?”

Compared to... bearing the heavy burden of "Hatake Kakashi", or the last wishes and entrustments submitted by countless seniors, friends, and teachers.

"Uh, maybe that's the case... Could you please put your arms down first?"

Qing Yan stared at the eyes that had been made up so that his own mother could not recognize him: "Otherwise, I always feel that the Great Prajna Changguang will not be able to resist swinging the knife."

Behind him, Da Prajna Changguang raised his eyebrows on one side, and stretched out his hand to press the Taidao on his waist with a smile on his face.

Kakashi: "..."

He laughed twice: "Ahaha, no wonder why my neck feels a little cold."

Although Kiyohiko himself has never been to the Daming Mansion in the Land of Fire, the decoration of the Daming Mansion in the Land of Fire is as shabby as can be seen at a glance.

It doesn't even look as good as Honmaru in his heyday.

Of course, the three ninjas did not show any fluctuations on the surface. They knelt down on one knee with a respectful attitude, and briefly introduced themselves to the daimyo of Tian Zhiguo.

"I really want to trouble you, at such a juncture."

The daimyo of Tian Zhiguo seemed apologetic: "The mines in the northern part of Tian Zhiguo have recently attracted a large group of thieves and rogues. I really can't let it go... I can only ask everyone to take care of them."

"After all, something like that happened in Yinnin Village in Tianzhi Country... I really don't know how to express our apologies."

The daimyo's face showed a very "suitable" guilty expression: "In the end, it's all the fault of Otonin Village. We have low strength, and there is really no way to eradicate them in one fell swoop... You can accept our actions regardless of past suspicions." Thank you very much for entrusting.”

"We will definitely ensure the success of the festival, this matter is on us - and thank you very much for still choosing Konoha Ninja Village to entrust the mission after that incident, your trust is enough to let We are relieved."

Nara Shikamaru showed proficiency beyond his own age range, and his speech and conversation seemed to be remarkable. The result of his junior being too reliable... Both Kiyohiko and Kakashi seemed a little speechless.

The guy who is only 12 years old speaks a sophisticated official accent, and the daimyo of Wada no country can come and go without leaking, and he can even inadvertently coax the other party to laugh when talking and laughing.

So the two guys who are very familiar with the cipher system of Konoha Village are sitting upright behind Shikamaru... winking at each other.

Do you think he didn't know anything about Orochimaru?

Kakashi's lips moved slightly, and in line with the movement of his eyes, he slightly bent his index finger, and tapped lightly on the tatami twice.

——If he really didn't know, he wouldn't be so nervous now.

Qingyan waved his left hand in a small area, pursed his mouth, stretched out his right thumb to draw a small circle, and rolled his eyes secretly by the way—the last movement obviously did not belong to the code system, and was used to express emotions.

But any big name with aspirations hopes that his country can have its own armed forces-a ninja village is the standard configuration of this era.If the ninjas in the ninja village were stronger, then this daimyo would simply be a winner in life among the daimyo.

When Orochimaru defected back then, he was able to successfully station his base in Otonin Village. The food, clothing, clothing, housing and transportation of the people in the base could not have been snatched back by himself as a bandit.Considering his trafficker-like behavior and superb words, it is very likely that he once reached a certain consensus with the daimyo of Tanokuni.

What's more, during the Zhongnin exam, Yinnin Village got the customs clearance document signed and guaranteed by the daimyo of Tianzhi Country, which means that no matter what, those ninjas from Yinnin Village came to Konoha to serve as the leader of Tianzhi Country. Daming, he is fully informed and agrees.

Of course, there is also a very small probability that Orochimaru used special ninjutsu to control Tanokuni's daimyo and induce the other party to make this series of decisions, but judging by Orochimaru's own personality, this possibility is very small .

But now, after the attack on Konoha failed, Orochimaru in the Three Caves of the Rabbit would probably give up this stronghold directly and go to other residences, and the daimyo who sought the skin with the tiger would be completely abandoned.

In the recent period, according to the data fed back by the intelligence department, the number of rebellious ninjas in Yinnin village near Tianzhi country has increased sharply, which may be a strong evidence of this behavior.

"It's really troublesome. Originally, this kind of thing should be handled by one of the two of you——"

After a lot of excuses and compliments, the three returned to the room prepared by the daimyo.Nara Shikamaru has an expression of "I'm really fed up". At the age of 12, he looks like a little old man: "How can there be an Anbe member who pushes all the work to the younger generation! Seriously, I became a Chunin and even It's been less than three months."

"From a factual point of view, Shikamaru-kun, you handled it pretty well!"

Kakashi praised: "Being able to do so well at your age is not something that ordinary people can achieve."

"The intention is so obvious and terrible, but in the end it's still pretending that nothing happened."

Nara Shikamaru finally complained twice: "If you cooperate with a guy like Orochimaru, you should have expected the current ending early."

Now this festival is still headed by Tian Zhiguo, apart from the comparison of national power between Tian Zhiguo and the surrounding small countries, the ambition of the daimyo can also be seen.

"Well... Take it easy, things have to be considered from multiple angles."

Seeing Nara Shikamaru's tired look of being "drained dry", Kiyohiko couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, and said in relief: "Actually, if the other party refuses to cooperate with Orochimaru, the end might be even worse. It's more tragic-he's just a poor man with no choice in essence."

According to Orochimaru's usual practice of opening and closing, even if the management of Tian Zhiguo was slaughtered on the spot, it is not impossible to completely change the country's blood.

There has always been a saying among ninjas that in the face of absolute power, tactics and skills can only be useless.Even though there are often cases where the weak defeat the strong in wars, considering the difference in combat effectiveness between Daimyo as an ordinary person and Orochimaru, this can still be regarded as a one-sided strife.

"At the end of the day, Orochimaru is still Konoha's rebellious ninja, and this kind of discussion of grievances and debtors has no result."

"Skaia" shrugged and sat between the two of them: "Let's discuss and discuss the mission—then, Captain Shikamaru, I will follow your instructions."

The New Year Festival, as the name suggests, is an annual festival to celebrate the harvest.

This is a celebration festival jointly organized by a group of small countries headed by Tanokuni. It is intended to celebrate the harvest and pray for good weather in the coming year.

As a small country with low national strength, the food industry or the planting of cash crops is the foundation of their entire country, so the importance of this kind of sacrifice can be seen.

"First, there are rituals and Noh performances dedicated to the gods, then there is the exchange of proud products from various countries, and finally there is a carnival with the participation of the whole people... It sounds like there is a possibility of being attacked at every step."

Nara Shikamaru took out a piece of paper, and wrote while talking: "The process of the ceremony is that each country selects people to participate, and they are basically devout priests. It is difficult to have any accidents. Noh performances come from Orchestras, they tour various countries performing Noh, and on a prudent note, I recommend checking out their instruments."

Both Kakashi and Kiyohiko nodded. Shakuhachi may hide flying needles. The shamisen itself can be used as a weapon. There are endless illusions performed with the sound. Shikamaru’s arrangement is very appropriate. What's wrong.

"When the local products are exchanged, we will mix with ordinary people and respond at any time. At that time, we need some obvious defensive forces to confuse the enemy's attention. I also ask Mr. Qingyan to ask your subordinates to help..."

Soon, a logical and clear plan took shape.

Since he doesn't know the true strength of Mr. "Skaia", Shikamaru doesn't have a lot of arrangements for Kakashi. From Kiyohiko's point of view, it can be solved by a shadow clone alone.

The latter didn't refute too much, and accepted all his arrangements with a smile, and even praised Shikamaru for his thoughtfulness and orderly arrangement of the battle plan.

There were more than one head of state participating in the festival. Nara Shikamaru still had some things to report to the daimyos. After the brief discussion was over, Kiyohiko finally found a chance to be alone with this guy, and immediately couldn't help frowning. : "It took so much effort to hide your identity, in fact, you have other tasks to do, right?"

"Hey, do I look so obvious?"

Kakashi scratched his wig, and finally returned to his original voice: "It is true that there is another mission... But it will not affect your side, because it is a bit dangerous, so I regret that I can't tell you the details. Qing, you should complete this part of yourself, and then enjoy the festival as much as possible."

"Hatake Kakashi" and "Skaia" have different tasks and there is no conflict. As one of the well-known jonin in Konoha Village, it is certainly possible for him to handle two jobs in parallel at the same place.

But this is the country of Tian, ​​and with a little thought, one can figure out which aspect the other half of the mission involves.

Kiyohiko took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

This kind of thing happened from time to time in the past - even in the same Anbu team, his former team leader often had another more difficult job.

It's just that he has changed from a genius boy to a genius ninja, from "White Fang's son" to Kakashi who writes sharing eyes, Konoha's first technician, copy ninja, and various titles.

Gaining fame is by no means a gold medal for avoiding death. A well-known name in the industry will definitely not be more effective than the amulet bestowed on swordsmen.

Outside the window, the expressions of the people preparing for the ceremony were beaming, and everyone was preparing for this festival to pray for a happy life in the coming year.

Qing Yan, who has traveled through countless worlds, does not believe in gods and Buddhas, but in such a difficult world, ordinary people do need some kind of spiritual support.

Ninjas are different - what they face is the nature of this cruel world, and even themselves are part of the exacerbation of this cruelty.

He turned to look at Kakashi, his voice as nonchalant as possible.

"Although from my standpoint, this is very unconvincing."

Qingyan stared into the other person's eyes: "But if you need manpower for your mission, I can barely provide it."

"I never expected to hear you say that one day..."

Kakashi was taken aback for a moment, then rolled his eyes.

"But it doesn't need to—this is the task of 'Kakashi Hatake'."

The other party's expression, smiling warmly and alienated: "You and Mr. Skye can complete the task here together, please."

The author has something to say:

Later, until Kakashi became Hokage, he would be choked with "Don't blame me for your own mission"

General notes:

There are mines near Tanokuni. This geographical feature comes from the plot of the animation.

The update will be a little later tomorrow due to the clip, and the original update time will be restored later.
