Chapter 15: Shennong
After talking about the formation of the team, Hinata looked through the task list again, and Itachi stood aside in a regular manner, quietly waiting for Hinata to choose a task.
When turning to the second page of the task list, a name suddenly catches Hinata's attention.
"Shennong!? Who, with such a big mouth, dares to call this name? With a sentence in his heart, Hyuga immediately looked at this task seriously.
The mission is simple, it is to escort a physician named Shennong to the land of Tian, which is adjacent to the land of fire.
Staring at the mission introduction, Hinata Kagami frowned slightly, for some reason, he always had a sense of déjà vu.
After a while, he finally remembered.
In the vague memory, there is indeed an empty ninja remnant disguised as a doctor, traveling around the world, while brushing up his reputation, while waiting for an opportunity to steal the secret forbidden art of various ninja villages, and this guy seems to be called 'Shennong', and he later seems to have tossed out an artificial tailed beast called 'Zero Tail', making a lot of noise.
"Could it be him?"
After thinking about it for a while, Hinata decided that whether it was or not, he would follow this task.
After completing the formalities for receiving the task, Hinata Kagami and Itachi soon met the client.
After carefully looking at the man named Shennong in front of him, Hinata Mirror had the answer in his heart, the person in front of him, whether it was his appearance or dress, generally matched the Shennong in his memory in his previous life.
There is no doubt that this guy is the remnant of the empty ninja, the maker of 'Zero Tail' in the future.
Knowing the identity of the other party, Hinata Mirror introduced herself quietly: "My name is Hyuga Mirror, I am a Konoha Nakashinobi, and I am also the leader of the team who accepted the task entrusted by you. The one next to me is one of my team members, named Uchiha Itachi, who is a Konoha Shinobi. ”
Shennong, who was just in his early thirties, behaved very politely, bowed and said, "Then this time I will ask the two of you." ”
"We'll do our best, but before we go, I need to know a little bit about it." After a pause, Hinata asked, "You should have your own reasons for raising the mission to the level of B-level, right?" Tell me, who is your enemy? ”
Shennong was a little cramped, and coughed lightly twice: "Actually, it's not an enemy, it's just a little misunderstanding." When I traveled in Yunyin Village before, it seemed that there was a theft incident in their village, so they suspected that I had something to do with the theft, but you know that I am just an ordinary doctor, how can I have anything to do with this kind of thing! ”
"Only by believing in you can you have a ghost!" Laughing secretly, Hinata Mirror turned to thought again: "This guy seems to have a lot of means to steal things!" ”
In a ghost place like Yunyin Village, it is difficult for even a high-level spy of Konoha to infiltrate, and it is even more difficult to steal intelligence, ninjutsu, forbidden arts, etc., and this unattractive Shennong can steal things from Yunyin Village, and what is even more amazing is that he can still get out of the whole body, which has to be surprising.
Considering that it might be useful to get this guy in the future, Hinata didn't dismantle him, and after a little preparation, the three of them embarked on a trip to Tanokuni.
As soon as he left the village, Hinata saw Itachi's seriousness, whether it was the choice of the route of travel or the choice of the camping site, it was decent and impeccable.
On the way, Itachi even corrects mistakes and omissions on the map he carries with him from time to time, and when camping, he will record the day's itinerary and occasionally write down some experiences.
It can be said that the existence of Itachi has saved Hyuga Mirror a lot of trouble.
Hyuga Mirror was naturally not idle, he used the incomparable insight of the reincarnation eye to observe Itachi and Shennong all the time, through the changes in their facial expressions, the expansion and contraction of body muscles, and exercised his insight and prediction ability.
The sensitive Itachi quickly noticed this, but he thought that the Hyuga mirror was just checking whether he was a qualified shinobi, so there was no resistance.
Shennong was undoubtedly aware of it, but he tried his best to hide it, revealing that he didn't know anything, and laughed all day long talking about interesting things from his travels.
After weeks of stop-and-go, the group finally arrived at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Fields.
Seeing that it was getting late, Hinata Kagami ordered: "Itachi, find a suitable campsite, have a good rest tonight, and cross the border tomorrow." ”
"Yes!"
Itachi replied in a proper manner, and then jumped up the tree, looking for a suitable campsite.
Shennong on the side said with a smile: "Jingjun and Weasel Jun are worthy of being famous queens!" ”
Waving his hand, Hinata said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter what the surname is, the ninja world relies on strength after all." ”
Shennong still smiled: "When I traveled all over the world, I have also seen many ninjas, but there are not many who are as good as you, I guess it won't be long before your name will be spread in the ninja world." ”
Knowing what kind of character Shennong was, Hinata didn't care about his sycophants and turned the topic to medical skills.
It is undeniable that this Shennong is very accomplished in medical skills, especially in the fields of bandaging skills, human meridians, herbal pharmacology, etc., which surpasses ordinary doctors by a large margin.
This is one of the reasons why he can travel around the world disguised as a doctor, otherwise, he would have been arrested as a spy long ago.
After finding a campsite with a wide view, the three of them discussed the meridians of the human body while eating dry food, of course, mainly Shennong was explaining, and Hinata Mirror and Itachi were learning.
The meridians of the human body are not mysterious to the Hyuga Mirror who was born in the Hyuga family, but the knowledge of the meridians in the clan is to serve the soft fist, and the meridian knowledge explained by Shennong is to serve the medical skills, different fields, different ideas, different points of view, under the collision, the Hyuga Mirror has a deeper understanding of the meridians of the human body.
Itachi listened very carefully, and after a while, he wrote and drew several pages in the small notebook he carried with him.
The human body meridians are actually not unfamiliar to the Uchiha clan who have a chakra eye, but there is no medical inheritance related to the human body meridians in the Uchiha clan, so Shennong's knowledge is particularly precious.
Shennong said very dedicatedly, but he naturally did it for a purpose, in his eyes, Hinata Mirror and Itachi, the two sons of Konoha who were wealthy children, were very valuable to make friends, and once a personal relationship was established, he would have two more help in Konoha activities in the future.
Chatting and chatting, Hinata Mirror suddenly asked, "By the way, what did Yunyin Village lose?" To be so relentless to find you a doctor's trouble? ”
"I don't know this, I have nothing to do with this matter!" Smiling awkwardly, Shennong explained again: "If it weren't for the plague in a village on the side of Tiannokuni this time, an old friend of mine in the village sent a message and begged me to definitely go, I really didn't want to run around at this time." ”
Knowing that there was no useful information coming out of Shennong's mouth, Hinata Mirror said: "Okay, let's talk about this today, let's rest, we have to hurry tomorrow." ”
Hearing this, Itachi hurriedly used wires and bells to lay several tripwires around the camp for early warning, and then jumped up and found a tree branch with a good view to rest.
Staring at Itachi, who was skillfully arranging traps, Hinata Mirror secretly sighed: "The Uchiha clan is really good at using ninja tools, Itachi is so young that they all set up traps." ”
