[Hokage] One day to arrive

? Konoha 64 years, early.

"I think... Lihuo, it's better for us to meet in another place next time, right?" Fei Cunjin looked at Lihuo who was sitting across from him and was pouring his own special sweet sauce on the last bunch of three-color meatballs, and smiled wryly. Said: "But speaking of it... no matter how many times I read it, I still think it's amazing."

Lihuo ate the last bunch of three-color meatballs slowly, miraculously without wasting any sweet sauce, and at the same time, he didn't forget to say to Fei Cunjin unambiguously: "Well, the meatball shop is actually quite good. In all the places I have been to, there is no place where the desserts are better than this one... I have controlled the amount of sweets every day. And if I change places, it will be too troublesome to bring them from home to the meeting point. Uncle Weiyang has recently been on a mission And more diligent."

"...Forget it, let you be happy." Fei Cunfu held his forehead, sighed, and was not at all surprised to see Li Huo chewing the last bite of the meatball, and slowly took out a tissue to clean it up At the same time, Asakura Yumi opened the curtain and walked in.

Lihuo keenly noticed that his teammate who had just walked in had the same cold expression as usual, and was unexpectedly depressed. He took out his wallet and ordered another cup of tea, while asking seemingly casually: "How is You Mei?" Not too good, did the research encounter any problems?"

Lihuo and Fei Cunjin knew very well that with Youmei's temperament, except for that part of research, there was basically nothing that could affect her mood on weekdays.

"Ah." Mentioning her own research, Yumi showed a distressed expression, and subconsciously frowned after sitting down next to Fei Cunjin, "It's indeed entered a bottleneck period."

Hearing Youmei's words, Fei Cunjin couldn't help becoming worried, turned his head slightly to look at her and asked, "What do you say?"

Youmei sighed for a long time, raised her head to look around, and after confirming that no one around would hear what she said, she slowly said in a low mood: "The main reason is the limitation of the conditions... It can indeed be confirmed in ordinary people that different acupoints stimulated with different forces and methods will cause different consequences, but there is no way to confirm how much effect it will have on a strong person with a certain strength."

For Yumi, who has always been serious, this is really a sad result that makes her scratch her heart and want to solve it as soon as possible, but due to various external reasons, she cannot achieve it.

"Isn't that just right?" Li Huo shrugged while holding the teacup in both hands, "At first, I was thinking that there was still some time left for the gathering time set by Uncle Li Weiyang, so I might as well take this opportunity to discuss the next task. Since Yumi needs someone with a certain ability to do the experiment, then we should choose tasks in this direction." Anyway, except for the trivial tasks of D-level, Lihuo has never been biased towards tasks, so I said this The tone is very relaxed.

"It is indeed a good choice to say so." Himura Jin thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Yumi and asked, "But at present, the highest can only receive C-level missions, is this also possible?"

After all, although it has been more than a year since they graduated, Yuan Weiyang, the teacher who led the team, has not recommended the three of them to take the Chunin exam due to the chaos and other reasons. People still have to honestly do some C-level missions when they are sure that Yuan Weiyang will not go on missions with them.

"...C-level, it's just that you can't face ninjas." Yumi pursed her lips and pondered for a long time before slowly opening her mouth, "If you are not a ninja, it's not just ordinary people. Besides, even ordinary people There are also strengths and weaknesses - step by step, it's better."

Hearing what Yumi said, Himura Kan seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but gently scratched the handle of the long knife in his hand with his thumb a few times, and the faint smile that had been hanging on his face suddenly appeared A bit interested: "Indeed, it seems that the direction of our next mission has been set?"

"of course."

——Since it is necessary for Yumi to be able to conduct experiments, tasks such as suppressing bandits are most suitable.

Li Huo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked down at the time and stood up first: "It's almost time, let's go." After speaking, he took the lead in using the instant body technique to leave the original position, and seeing Li Huo If they are so active, it is impossible for Feicunjin and Youmei to fall behind too much. Although they are not in favor of this unnecessary waste, the two of them still use the instant body technique to keep up.

And after rushing to the gathering place that Yuan Weiyang had set, they arrived a lot earlier, which made even Lihuo have to admit that the blinking technique was indeed unnecessary waste.However, Lihuo, Himura Kan and Asakura Yumi didn't take this episode to heart. The remaining time is not short, but it is not enough for the three of them, so it is rare for the three of them to get together When we were together, we didn't just do our own thing, but chatted with each other.

"Speaking of which, I don't know if I've overlooked something. I always feel that Master has been desperately doing the task recently." Fei Cunjin leaned on the tree and rubbed his fingertips on the handle of the knife habitually, and turned his head to face it first. Li Huo, who sat on the side and didn't practice the most basic seal speed seriously, asked, "Did something happen?"

"It's true that Teacher Weiyang's behavior has been a little out of order recently, but it doesn't look like anything serious has happened." This topic made Youmei, who didn't forget to write, draw and calculate in her notebook at this time, although she didn't look up. , but couldn't help interjecting, "Although it's not obvious, I always feel that there are some changes in emotions-Lihuo, I don't know if you noticed, but you are also a little out of control."

"That..." Since Youmei had pointed it out on purpose, Lihuo thought about it and found that he was indeed a little too excited recently. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said uncomfortably, "It's really not a big deal." Big event... right? It's just that Master is coming back soon." Speaking of this, Li Huo's ending sound couldn't help but rise.

Seeing that Li Huo, who has always been incomprehensible except for being lazy, suddenly couldn't help showing such obvious joy while saying this, the corners of Youmei's mouth couldn't help twitching, Before he had time to say anything, Fei Cunjin raised his voice and said, "So that's the case, there's really nothing strange about it—"

Yuan Weiyang showed his figure from the suddenly circling breeze, raised his eyebrows in surprise at the scene in front of him, and raised his hand slightly regardless of whether Fei Cunjin had something to say. With a wave, he said in a brisk tone: "Hey, it seems that you are all in a good mood today! How is it, do you have any requirements for the task to be accepted this time?"

With the appearance of Yuan Weiyang, the vague sense of relaxation in the corners of Li Huo's eyes suddenly dissipated, don't look at Yuan Weiyang with a wooden face at the beginning, after a pause, he found that neither Feicunjian nor Asakura Yumi had opened their mouths, and couldn't help but He looked at the two companions who were looking at him in a strange way, and said helplessly in a flat tone without any ups and downs: "We want to take on the task of suppressing bandits this time, if there are warriors in the target people are the best."

"Really." Yuan Weiyang sent out a shadow clone and nodded as if he didn't notice the awkwardness and refusal in Lihuo's attitude. Understood."

Fei Cunjin looked at Li Huo who still had a blank face, held back the desire to sigh and smiled at Yuan Weiyang and joked: "Actually, if you can go together, Master, the B-level mission may be more suitable."

"Well, even if you are guiding Jonin, you still have task indicators to complete." Yuan Weiyang chuckled, in order to stay in the village in the future, he needs to complete all the indicators within a certain period of time as soon as possible. So of course it is impossible to take three oil bottles that are not considered oil bottles to do tasks above A level.

Yuan Weiyang's shadow avatar came back unexpectedly fast this time, and at the same time brought the mission scroll as the three of Lihuo wanted. Yuan Weiyang, who knew the abilities of his three "disciples" well, just explained this in a hurry. After clearing the points that need to be paid attention to in the next mission, I rushed to do my own thing again.

After Yuan Weiyang left for a while, Li Huo's body, which had been frozen since he appeared, finally relaxed a little, took the mission scroll from Feicunjin's hand and spread it out, and got together with Youmei and Feicunjin studied it.

After all, it has been more than a year since he became an official ninja, and the three of Lihuo quickly made a rough plan. The black-rimmed glasses on his face covered the flash of worry in his eyes, he opened his mouth and finally just said: "In this case, then I will go back and prepare the things I want to bring, Lihuo, Ah Jin, later See you."

After finishing speaking, Yumi didn't even wait for Lihuo and Feicunjin to answer, and rushed to the place where she lived as fast as possible.

Fei Cunjin, who was left at the same place, looked at Li Huo who was treated the same way, the smile on his face did not change at all, but his tone was a bit weird and he said while walking Li Huo with ease: "Although the things we want to bring It is definitely not as much as Yumi, but it is better to prepare as soon as possible at this time. After all, Yumi seems to be a little impatient."

Li Huo with slightly lowered eyelids made it difficult to see what emotion he was feeling at this time, but after hearing Fei Cunjin's words, he suddenly raised his eyes to look at the other party, and said with a half-smile: "...I know. But having said that, Ah Jin, you should hurry up, right?"

Seeing that Li Huo had obviously returned to normal, Fei Cunjin naturally let go of the opponent's hand and hugged the knife back to his chest, walked side by side with Li Huo and said with a smile without turning his head: "Well... so next time Isn't it already in the well?"
