In the 45th year of Konoha, the third generation of Kazekage, known as the strongest in the past generations, disappeared strangely, and the entire ninja world was shaken. The village of Sand Hidden was furious, suspecting that it was the work of another ninja village, and began to intensify the friction of the war. After hearing the news, Ruri Aoi also understood that the third ninja world war that swept the five ninja villages was about to begin......

At this time, Ruri Aoi was just nine years old.

This time, she went to find Matsutsuki Kaede as usual. Ruri Aoi pushed through the door, swaggered and picked up the fruit and ate it, and Matsutsuki Kaede, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, was not surprised. Ever since she knew that Matsutsuki Kaede was so talented in cooking, Ruri Aoi liked to come to eat.

In the past two years, with the guidance of the teacher, under the physique of the Uzumaki clan, Matsutsuki Kaede's strength has progressed very rapidly, but the little girl doesn't seem to like fighting, which makes Aoi Ruri a little helpless. Under her protection, Song Yuefeng was much more shy and introverted, and she lacked a trace of liveliness, which she didn't expect.

"I heard that Sister Feather Imo is going to become a ...... of the middle ninja"

"That's right, I'm the most powerful Miss Feather......" Ruri Aoi said narcissistically, but she also knew in her heart that she could be cannon fodder on the battlefield......

Matsutsuki Kaede seemed to like to look at Ruri Aoi with a smile, in her heart, this is the person she loves the most......

**********************

"24 times for D, 10 times for C, 1 time for B...... Then you have passed the review of the middle ninja, and from now on you are the middle ninja. A ninja at the Grading Division said to her formulaically.

War is coming, and the promotion of the ninja level is not as complicated and strict as the ninja exam in the later generations. As long as the number of tasks completed meets the requirements, the strength can be passable. So Aoi Ruri became a shinobi very smoothly. The shinobi uniform of the foggy was issued, but Ruri Aoi was not too happy.

"It seems that the faction that Sister Asako is alluding to wants to let its people get enough merit in the mission, is it to consolidate their position or to compete for the next generation of Mizukage......"

Spiral Pill was finally assessed as A-grade, and at the age of nine, he could create his own A-level ninjutsu, which made Aoi Ruri also beautiful in the village, and there was a faint momentum to catch up and surpass again. And the theory of the use of the spiral pill, Aoi Ruri had to hand it over to the village in accordance with the regulations, presumably this 'efficient and fast' ninjutsu is only in the hands of a few people, which can be regarded as Aoi Ruri in order to repay the village for raising her over the years, maybe by then the village of blood mist that escaped the control of Madara and Obito will have no psychological burden......

Just a few days later, Ruri Aoi received a notice and came to Mizukage's office, but still didn't have a chance to come into contact with Mizukage, who had come to issue a mission to the ninja through the Guò Shadows.

After becoming a middle ninja, the Mizukage Office, Ruri Aoi's first B-rank mission in his personal name was issued: the four Shimoshinobi who escorted the Minister of Ishikuni, Chiyu Asakawa, Aso Mizuki, Endo Valley and Fukuokatsu disappeared on the way back, and immediately searched for them and brought back people or information. Difficulty: B, number of participants: 4. And when the list of four came out, Ruri Aoi couldn't help but take a deep breath. I saw the list of: Norika Fujiwara, Haromo Sato, Toshi Hoshino, and Kakiki (captain).

"Ghost shark......" On the way, Aoi Ruri recalled the information of the strange people in Fog Hidden Village: Xiaozhi Nandou, a tailless tailed beast, cold and belligerent, slaughtering teammates. It doesn't seem like a good errand," Ruri Aoi felt like she was in a den of thieves, "I hope there's no possibility of preventing the leakage of secrets......

More than half an hour later, Aoi Ruri arrived at the meeting place, and a man and a woman had already come, according to the list, the woman was Fujiwara Norika, and the man was Hoshino Toshi, both of whom were 12 years old, and they were both promoted to Zhongnin not long ago, and it seems that the two are also familiar with each other. After a brief introduction to each other, the three of them waited for the last person to arrive.

Finally, when the time was approaching, a tall man with a shark-like complexion and sharp teeth rushed over, "Much younger than in the manga, after all, he was only 14 years old at this time...... Ruri Aoi tried to calm her mind, this was the second important character in the manga she had seen.

The demeanor of the dried persimmon ghost shark was full of politeness: "I'm sorry, I'm late." My name is dried persimmon ghost shark, I am meeting for the first time, please advise. Then he showed his trademark smile, but Namori's fangs really didn't look friendly, Fujiwara Norika and Hoshino Toshi reluctantly smiled back, but Aoi Ruri didn't feel that way......

At this time, Aoi Ruri pretended to be very cute and cute: "Hello big brother, my name is Sato Yui, and my hobby is ......" Although she expressed disdain for her undisciplined behavior, but in order to close the relationship in advance, Aoi Ruri decided to endure it......

In addition to the two Fujiwara Norika who were a little speechless, even the dried persimmon ghost shark was a little stunned, because of the appearance and behavior, few people in the village were willing to approach the dried persimmon ghost shark, and they were afraid of its strength and faintly called it a "strange person", the little girl's mustard demeanor and the 'innocent to sex' eyes made the dried persimmon ghost shark feel a little.

However, this feeling was also fleeting, and the dried persimmon ghost shark said, "Everyone, please go." Then the four of them walked to the exit of the village. Ruri Aoi vaguely sensed that Fujiwara Norika and Hoshino Toshi were a little afraid of the oni shark, and they obeyed the captain, who seemed to be very kind. On the way out of the Fog Hidden Village, you can feel that the pedestrians are far away from the dried persimmon ghost shark, and even the ninjas passing by reject this strange-looking man.

"It seems that this guy is extremely unpopular in the village......" Ruri Aoi understood a little, "So...... When a person has no friends and lacks recognition, if someone can recognize his existence, it should leave a deep shadow in his heart...... "Ruri Aoi, who has experience in earth psychology, understands that this is a good opportunity to get close to the oni.

Looking at the accustomed appearance of the dried persimmon ghost shark, Aoi Ruri felt that she could understand the other party's feelings, the loneliness of not having friends, the insecurity of being ostracized, and for a moment Aoi Ruri forgot about the danger of the person in front of her, and wanted to help him instead. "After all, they're all the same kind of people......"

Ruri Aoi carefully recalls the scenes in which the oni shark appeared in the manga: when she killed the watermelon mountain puffer ghost, she thought that the ninja world was all illusory. Under the iron-blooded policy of the fog, he continued to pay for the village and complete all kinds of dirty tasks, killing more teammates than the enemy, but in the end he was betrayed by his boss, and he didn't believe in it and defected, but he saw himself clearly at the moment before he died, and he committed suicide and did not betray his companions.

"I hope I'll change you......" Ruri Aoi thought, but there was no expression on her face.

Soon, the four of them left the village and headed for the land of tea.
