Morning.

Ayane teased the caged birds in the hallway, a gentle smile on her fair and clean face.

At the other end of the corridor, Hizoku, who had already been washed, saw this scene, and the beautiful picture was frozen at such a time, and Hizoku was a little distracted when he looked there.

I met Ayane for a distance, and that should have been years ago.

At that time, he didn't expect that Ayane would be able to stay by his side and become his maid.

"Good morning, Master Rizu."

When Ayane saw Hizoku, she stood up unhurriedly, stopped teasing the caged bird, and smiled gently and respectfully at Hizoku.

In the pure white pupils, it gives people all the beauty of the world.

Every time I see this kind of look in Ayane's eyes, Hinata keeps questioning in my heart.

Did she accept the fate of separation?

Did she really obey the Zong family?

There was no resentment or hostility in her eyes.

It seems that because of years of getting along, she has let go of her prejudices against the Zong family.

"Good morning, Ayane."

Hizoku is not a deliberately cold person, as both he and Ayane know very well.

But precisely because he is too gentle, he must give people a serious and cold image.

His gentleness could be a disaster for the Hyuga family, and it would also hurt others.

His gentleness had hurt his younger brother Hiza, so he didn't want Ayane, the maid who had been following him for years, to be hurt as well.

"I heard you're on a mission, aren't you?"

"Yes, Master Rizu. We're sorry, but I may not be able to serve by your side anytime in the future. ”

Ayane bowed apologetically.

"It's okay, our Hyuga family is also part of Konoha. Rest assured, your leader is a good ninja. ”

Hizoku seemed to know something.

"Is this matter a request from the patriarch of the young master Rizu?"

Ayane's pure white pupils are mild colors that are free of impurities.

Hinazu didn't answer.

Passing by Ayane's side, his face indifferent.

Ayane looked at the time, it was almost time to assemble, and she was ready to leave.

"The ......"

Hizo's voice came from behind.

Ayane turned her head and looked at Hinazu suspiciously.

Hinata didn't turn around, and turned his back to Ayane.

"Please protect yourself."

After saying this, Hizo's footsteps suddenly quickened and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Unlike those indifferent and arrogant clans, Rizu always has a softness in his heart.

Ayane only smiled softly on her face, as if she heard Hizoku's words, but she didn't seem to hear them.

She tied her forehead guard to her forehead, her long satin-black hair falling out, paused in the corridor for a moment, and then raised her steps and walked towards the outside of the Hyuga clan.

I don't deserve to be treated like this, Master Rizu. She kept this sentence in her heart.

◎

After yesterday's sky-high barbecue, the atmosphere of the team was relatively harmonious.

Shuo Mao also knows a little about the three people in the team.

Chiba Shiraishi, a medical ninja, hasn't seen much in terms of personality, but in general, he is an ordinary ninja, but the medical ninja profession has added a lot of points to him.

Hinata Ayane, a family from a wealthy family, has a gentle and considerate personality, and occasionally has a little black belly, which is in line with the lively personality of young people. Most importantly, she is very good at eating.

Uchiha Ruri, the genius of the Uchiha clan, judging from yesterday's short fight, his skills are no longer weaker than the average Shangnin. In particular, there is money.

In the eyes of the three of Shiraishi, the ninja known as Konoha White Fang, Hachiki Shuomao, has a casual personality, and is not as ruthless as rumored to be made up, and he is also a poor ghost who can't even afford to barbecue.

Shame on the forbearance.

After all, the gap between facts and rumors is always very large, and getting along with Shuo Mao has become very casual, and Shuo Mao has no patience at all, and can communicate with anyone on an equal footing.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the members of the Shuo Mao team gathered at the gate of Konoha Village.

"I went to Hokage-sama just now to take on an A-rank mission, so let's use this to practice."

The corners of Shiraishi's mouth twitched, and he knew that this team was not on an ordinary mission.

Practicing with A-level missions, Shiraishi can feel the miserable mission career with no bright future in the future.

It should be too late to quit now.

"Let's go."

Shuo Mao saw that although the three of them had different faces, they all obeyed the arrangement honestly, so he couldn't help but nod and disappeared from the place.

The three of Baishi were not slow, and they all caught up with Shuo Mao at the moment when they disappeared.

Because the most important thing for a long journey is to ensure sufficient physical strength, so the ninja will not be very fast during the run, otherwise even the ninja will be unbearable.

"Mr. Shuomao, what is the content of the A-level task?"

Shiraishi saw that Ruri and Ayane were not willing to ask about the content of the mission, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Large-scale battles are taking place on the front line, and our mission is to cut off the enemies lurking in the Fire Country, who often attack supply convoys transported from Konoha and destroy Fire Country towns. ”

"Is it so serious? That is to say......"

Shiraishi vaguely guessed something.

"Ah, you're right, an A-class mission could turn into an S-class mission at any time, because even the shadows can't fully grasp the whereabouts of those lurkers. That's why there's a ninja with white eyes in the team. Our mission is to roam the Fire Nation and eliminate all enemies that come into sight. ”

How many ninjas there are among them, how many ninjas are medium ninjas, and how many upper ninjas are all unknown.

This is also the reason why Shuo Mao said that A-class missions could turn into S-class missions at any time.

"Is it just us?"

Ruri asked calmly, not scared by the content of the task.

"Of course not, there will be a detachment of shadows to cooperate."

The three of them nodded, a little relieved.

If there is a detachment in the shadows, the work should be much easier.

There are a total of seventy people in the dark configuration, and there are two captains and deputy captains, who exist as the Hokage's personal guards, and generally do not go out on missions directly.

And under the chief captain and deputy chief captain, there are four sub-teams in the dark.

Each detachment has a squad leader, and each squad leader has four squads, and each squad has four ninjas from the shadows.

In other words, a detachment leader plus sixteen shadows in four squads, a total of seventeen shadowy ninjas cooperate with the Shuo Mao team to cut off the lurking enemies in the Fire Country.

Silent for the rest of the way, an hour after leaving the village, Ayane immediately turned on the white eye, scanning the surrounding environment to see if there were any enemies lurking in the white eye's detection range.

Ayane's white eye detection range is a radius of five kilometers, which is a bigger breakthrough from previous years.

After another hour, Shuo Mao, who was at the front of the line, made a stop gesture.

The four of them landed in an open field and stopped.

"Let's take a break here."

The most important thing in a squad is discipline, and since Shuo Mao is the captain, then the three of Shiraishi will naturally obey unconditionally.

After sitting down, Shuo Mao spoke, "Further on, there is a dangerous area, where we may encounter ninjas who ambush us at any time. The three of you have very good theoretical grades in school, so you should know the basic coordination between the squads. ”

"Are they the three principles of medical ninjas?"

Shiraishi asked.

Shuo Mao nodded.

The so-called three principles of medical ninja are what Tsunade Shinobi, one of the three ninjas, has laid down.

The first point - the medical ninja must not give up the treatment until the team member dies.

The second point - medical ninjas cannot fight on the front line.

The third point - the medical ninja cannot die before the squad members.

Therefore, there is no shame in running away from a fight, and there is no shame in accepting the protection of someone else.

"I'll be in charge of the advance next, Ruri and Ayane, you two must always stay by Shiraishi's side, and even if there seems to be no danger around, you must not give priority to the battle. Even if you have to fight, Ruri is in charge of the attack, and Ayane is in charge of protecting. ”

"Yes!"

Understanding and being able to do it are two different things, but this kind of thing Shuo Mao can only trust the cooperation between the three of them.

After resting for more than ten minutes, Shuo Mao led the three of them on.

As Shuo Mao said, further along, there is a dangerous area where safety cannot be guaranteed, and battles can occur at any time and anywhere.

"At one o'clock ahead, about two thousand three hundred meters away, there were seven Sand Hidden Ninjas ambushing there. Two hid underground, three behind trees, and two in the grass. ”

Suddenly, Ayane, who kept the white eye open, shared the information that the white eye had observed.

"Keep up."

Shuo Shige's steps suddenly quickened, and he ran quickly in the direction of one o'clock that Ayane was pointing at.

Under the insight of the white eye, all the ambushes and hiding are exposed to the sun, and there is nothing to hide.

The distance of 2,300 meters is not too long, and it takes less than three minutes to reach the enemy's ambush circle.

"Teacher Shuomao, should we be careful ......?"

Ayane was about to say something, but Shuo Mao had already disappeared from front of him.

Under the detection of the white eye, only the blades flashed, and the chakra reaction of the five sand hidden ninjas disappeared directly, turning into cold corpses.

There were also two people who fled towards them in a panic, and it was estimated that they were directly frightened by Shuo Mao's surprise attack at that moment.

"There are two targets in front of you, which were specially sent by the teacher to practice, so let's solve them directly with fire."

Ayane sighed.

Where the enemy is coming from, how many targets there are, and what methods they are targeting, all can be seen clearly with the white eyes.

It's not a battle at all.

The glass has already been sealed.

Two oversized fireballs erupted from his mouth in a row.

The two people who fled here didn't expect the fireball to come so well, as if time had been pinched and turned into charcoal in the fireball.
