"Congratulations, you are an official ninja from today on."
In the cold winter with light snow,
The whistling wind chills the heart,
But the warmth brought by the family dispelled the coldness like a warm sun.
under bright lights,
The dining hall of Hyuga's house is filled with the aroma of various delicacies,
And Ryosuke and the others took their seats.
Today, the dinner at Hyuga's house was extraordinarily rich, because Hinata finally officially graduated from ninja school and became a registered ninja.
Yes, she finally made it two months before the Ninja School's collective assessment and completed the "early graduation".
"Sister, you have delayed the formal application until now. People in your class must hate you to death."
After some toasting and clinking, Hanabi spoke with a smile on his face.
There are two requirements for Ninja School to apply for early graduation. They are the first grade in the grade and passing the graduation assessment arranged by the school.
It is also the same period, only one person can apply,
In the case that Hinata did not apply for early graduation, the rest of their class were not eligible to apply for graduation, and they were all stuck on the first requirement and could not pass the assessment.
"No, they don't surpass my strength, and they have no possibility of passing even if they apply for graduation." Hinata didn't care at all, "According to my observation, those of us who have the opportunity to graduate early in this semester have left early .”
"As for the rest who didn't surpass me, they didn't have the strength to pass the assessment, so they didn't even have a chance to apply."
"Besides... I don't have time."
Originally, at the beginning of this year, she was reminded by Hyuga Hiashi that she was going to submit an application for graduation.
But because there are too many things to do, and there is no time to practice, this matter is temporarily put on hold.
Hearing this, Ryosuke smiled and moved his eyes to plan to say something,
I heard Hinata add, "No... maybe there is another person who can successfully pass the graduation examination in both practical and theoretical courses——Aburame Shino of the Aburame clan!"
She seemed to suddenly think of such a person, "But he's a low-key person, and he doesn't have much presence in the class, so he shouldn't be interested in this name."
"If it weren't for the fact that Ryosuke and Naruto have been hiding their strengths before, I have been more subtle about the performance of other people in the assessment, maybe even if I have white eyes, I can't detect that he is hiding something."
"Aburame family..."
Hyuga Hiashi was also thoughtful, "The low-keyness of that family is common, and their secret arts have to deal with all kinds of insects. Of course, they will not use the kind of insects that are deadly to the partners in the same village, so there is a difference. Hiding is normal."
"Furthermore, because there are all kinds of insects living on them, few people from other families are willing to contact them. Over time, their people are a bit taciturn."
"The Aburame people of our class also had good strength, but their strength didn't show until the battlefield. Before that, our fellow class members didn't know their real combat power at all."
"That……"
Hinata's eyes lit up.
"That clan's attitude towards Konoha is hidden deeper than ours. Whether it's Anbu or the former roots of the clan, they have joined, and they want to win them over..."
Weighing the possibilities, Hyuga Hiashi shook his head, "There should be no chance."
"Pity……"
Hinata's face was a bit regretful, but she quickly spoke again, "But I've sorted out a few candidates recently, look..."
"Hey, why don't we stop talking about work today!"
Seeing that the topic was about to shift to family affairs again, Hanabi interrupted Hinata's words a little angrily.
"Yes, yes, why can't we talk about some relatively daily things, our family meeting is not only work but work."
Ryosuke also opened his mouth to express his dissatisfaction.
Reluctantly, Hinata and Hyuga Hiashi looked at each other, nodded with a smile, "Then let's not talk, let's have a good meal today and talk about other things."
"Actually... I think I can almost apply for early graduation. Ryosuke and my sister both graduated early. I can't lose to you."
"But Hanabi, there is a very important question. It seems that you are not the number one in this class."
"Damn it! It's all theory classes that have dragged down my grades! I really don't know what the ninjas are used to learn..."
The cold winter wind penetrates into the house along the cracks of the house and windows,
But it didn't affect the hearts of everyone at the dinner table in the slightest,
On the contrary, they all enjoy this kind of winter, the family gathers to eat together, and talk about the feeling of recent trifles.
Warm and beautiful...
rustle——
under the night,
In the silent dense forest some distance away from the capital city of the country of fire, the rustling of leaves suddenly sounded.
"Stop."
Immediately afterwards, a cold female voice sounded in the darkness,
A woman emerges from the shadows among the trees, exposed to the moonlight,
His figure was completely wrapped in a thin black robe, and his face was covered with a mask to conceal his identity, so his origin could not be seen at all.
And following the woman's appearance, one after another black shadows followed her movements, also appearing under the moonlight,
There were six people hiding in the shadow just now!
Although it is winter,
But the six thinly dressed men in black stepped on the thick snow, but their bodies did not tremble due to the cold. Instead, they kept their backs straight and remained silent.
"Old cat."
The woman with a cold voice at the head turned her attention to a short person in the team, "Your control over Chakra has improved a lot, which is worthy of praise, but... you are going to enter the town next time, you should change back to the form of a cat , Your humanoid appearance is too eye-catching and will affect the progress of the mission."
"If there is no trace of the mission target in this town, we will continue to track the practice."
"Yes."
A hoarse but decisive voice sounded from the short man in black,
Immediately afterwards, his whole body seemed to disappear suddenly, and the robe he was wearing lost its support directly, scattered on the ground,
Then, a petite figure jumped out from the pile of clothes, it turned out to be a kitten with gray hair.
"Everyone has..."
While helping the old cat tidy up and seal the scattered clothes, Hyuga Xingcai looked at the others seriously, "Put on casual clothes, and then use makeup to disguise the face, and then we are going to enter the town."
The team assembled in the snow is the Star Color Legion that received the task of detecting the whereabouts of the suspected Otherworld invaders in the Land of Fire.
Unlike the Iroha Legion, Hyuga Star Color does not recruit many people for her legion, but all of them are friends who have intersected with her and fought side by side.
Because rather than crushing in terms of numbers and formations, her formation direction is biased toward emotional trust, and she pays more attention to friends who can hold each other's backs and entrust each other with their last wishes in times of crisis.
Therefore, before there is no suitable candidate, she will not recruit members in large numbers to supplement the number of legions.
soon,
The five people except Lao Mao changed into the costumes they had prepared for each of their identities, and made another disguise.
They greeted each other skillfully, and walked up the official road in twos and twos.
Except for the old cat, this team is all elites who have been on the battlefield.
Although the level of ninjas varies from high to low, things like combat power and experience cannot be measured by level. At this stage of Chūnin, in addition to combat power and experience, you need to have enough reputation and merit to be promoted. .
Stepping briskly on its short legs, the figure of the old cat jumped up from the thick snow layer and landed on Xingcai's shoulder.
While licking his paw, he asked in a low voice: "But... why don't we use the Transformation Technique, aren't we ninjas?"
They set foot on the official road after others left one after another,
As the captain of this team, Xingcai is of course responsible for leading the old cat, a rookie with 0 experience in this task.
"It's not the ninja's means, it's all clever."
Hyuga star color is an ordinary middle-aged woman in disguise. Her fair complexion and Hyuga's unique appearance features are well concealed in the disguise, and even the body shape is filled, which is no longer the same as before. slim.
Hearing the old cat's inquiry, she calmly explained: "The use of Transformation Technique will consume Chakra all the time. In order to face danger in the best condition, ninjas generally don't waste Chakra easily. This kind of place."
After a pause, she continued to add: "Besides, when the Transformation Technique is used, the Chakra in the body will have traces of flow. If it is an experienced ninja, it is easy to see through and detect it through this."
"On the contrary, makeup is to cover up the appearance and body shape through external use. It is a means to distinguish it from ninjas. It will not have any traces of Chakra, so it is sometimes more practical."
"Really……"
The old cat nodded, but did not continue speaking.
After walking on the official road, the flow of people around will gradually increase as it gets deeper and deeper,
Even in this cold winter season, there are still many people who need to run around for their lives,
There are rich businessmen in carriages, tired farmers, and even ninjas galloping past, etc. There are pedestrians of various professions, and it is difficult for the old cat to continue talking.
In order not to expose the traces, Hyuga Xingcai did not rush on the road, but walked slowly with the old cat. From time to time, she would sit down and rest at the small tea stand in the official road, observing all kinds of pedestrians around.
Among these people, there may be that person from Otherworld.
This is the third time they are preparing to enter the town after leaving Konoha.
The traces of the otherworld man first circulated in a dilapidated village on the edge of the Land of Fire.
As for this village, Hyuga Xingcai and the others have quietly conducted unannounced visits and heard some things from these villagers.
The content of the matter is very simple. A group of wandering ninjas from the country of the wind were preparing to plunder the passing village, but they were cleaned up by a guy who appeared out of nowhere.
And the method used by this guy who appeared out of nowhere was not a ninja, and there was no trace of ninjutsu from the beginning to the end. Even when those wandering ninjas died, they were all inconceivable, as if for their own defeat, for their own Losing to an "ordinary person" is unacceptable.
The red-haired samurai with the broken arm, this is the information Hyuga and the others got from the villagers about the man from Otherworld,
But rather than inquiring about it, it might be better to say that they learned some facts from their mouths through some means of hypnosis.
There are a lot of wandering ninjas who fled from the Kingdom of the Wind. If they want to completely wipe out these people, the commotion is definitely not small, so there are also many witnesses who saw the red-haired warrior killing these ninjas.
And because the red-haired samurai didn't tell any witnesses, it was logical that this matter was brought before the relevant village chiefs and town chiefs.
After some processing and understanding of what happened, the news was immediately blocked and kept extremely tight.
The head of the village and the town in charge of the local management directly pointed out that the villagers are strictly prohibited from revealing any information about this red-haired warrior to outsiders. Even in daily life, they are required not to discuss it, especially for...
ninja!
From this point, it can be seen that the Nation of Fire knows the existence of this red-haired warrior, which is an obvious fact.
As for this news, it is worth pondering that they are unwilling to synchronize with Konoha.
Getting closer and closer to Kyoto City...
Hyuga Xingcai followed the flow of people thoughtfully, heading towards the direction of the town.
Every time they obtain the latest information, they will pass it back to Konoha in a special way and pass it on to the family,
But the family has not issued new orders for a long time, so they can only follow the requirements of the investigation mission and continue to track the traces of the red-haired warrior.
And this pursuit is within the range of two towns.
But one thing is obvious, the route where the red-haired warrior appeared started from the outskirts of the Kingdom of Fire and went to the center of the Kingdom of Fire, so she guessed in her heart that perhaps the final destination of the red-haired warrior... It is the Daming Mansion!
So... it was the people from Otherworld who hijacked the noble officials in the country, and wanted to launch an impact on this world by going deep into the center of power,
Or, did the Fire Nation daimyo recruit this person from Otherworld?
If it is the former, then this person from Otherworld must have come from a bad place,
And if it is the latter, then the thoughts of daimyo and domestic nobles are worth pondering.
While thinking, Hyuga Xingcai has unknowingly arrived at the entrance of a city gate with a medium height.
At the entrance, ordinary warriors are responsible for guarding the city.
Every time a pedestrian enters the city, they will check it as usual, but there is no requirement to charge an entry fee.
And on the gate of the city where people come and go, there are three big characters "Samu Castle" written impressively.
The word Zuo Mu was taken from the history of the Kingdom of Fire, a well-known official among the people.
The history of the Land of Fire is much, much longer than that of Konoha Village, and can be traced back to the pre-Sengoku period, the period when ordinary people and samurai could still emit a little afterglow on the battlefield.
Except for those small villages, the construction and naming of these cities and towns in the Kingdom of Fire have certain rules.
From the outside to the inside, the closer to the center of the country, the larger the scale of its cities and towns, and the taller the city walls.
And the officials corresponding to the name of the city will also be more loved by others.
The official represented by Sagi Castle was once appointed as a general in the history of Fire Country, and this also means that the next city beyond here is Kyoto City.
