"Hmph!"
"Xiu Xiu, I'm not here, where do you think I should be?"
When it comes to cross-country injuries, the person you least want to see is the Nara Shikaku in front of you.
It's not that Cross Country is afraid of Shikaku, it's that Cross Country doesn't want Shikaku to see him getting hurt.
Who is the person in Konoha Village who cares most about off-roading?
Not the Fourth Hokage, let alone those good friends from cross-country, such as Akai, Yuhi Kurenai, and Mingzhidao, but his biological uncle Nara Shikaku!
Therefore, whenever he is injured, Cross Country is unwilling to face Shikaku.
Especially under Shikaku's reproachful gaze, and when he faintly noticed the pain contained in it, Cross Country couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment, and kept giggling in front of Shikaku.
On the contrary, it's Akai, who is really a master of activating the atmosphere!
Listening to Shikaku's cold snort, Shikaku kept smiling in embarrassment. On the contrary, after hearing Shikaku's words, Akai looked cautious and reminded Shikaku: "Master Shikaku, Shikaku is an ANBU, so he
must You have to call him by his code name!"
"His code name is Shadow, Master Shikaku, don't forget it!" "
."
Akai reminded him, and Shikaku, who was about to blame the off-roader, just remained silent there, with a smile on his face. The muscles were twitching violently.
As for cross-country, it was even harder to hold back a smile and almost gave Akai a thumbs up.
However, in front of Akai, Lujiu definitely couldn't lose his composure.
So after Akai gave the reminder, Shikaku coughed slightly and said, "Well, Akai, I have something to talk to Kage, so please stay out of the way!" "Yes! Mr. Shikaku!" I
know
. Cross-country and Shikaku's relationship, Akai nodded with a smile and left the ward directly.
However, when Akai left, Cross Country clearly heard Akai's quiet reminder. Only then did Cross Country understand Shikaku's identity. He turned out to be the commander of Konoha's rear troops!
To put it simply, he is the BOSS of Akai’s unit!
It turned out that after the Fourth Hokage sent out the sharp blade team formed by Cross Country and others, he appointed Shikaku as the commander of the rear troops and led the ninja troops back to the Country of Fire to confront the Mist Ninja troops that had sneaked into the Country of Fire. As for the Fourth Hokage himself, he also led the ninja troops to engage in an open battle with the Mist Ninja at the front.
Judging from the Konoha camp where Cross Country is located, there must be no problem with the Fourth Hokage's battle on the front line. It depends on how Shikaku leads the ninja troops on the rear front, and the confrontation between Konoha and Kiri Ninja during the Third War. Even if it’s almost over.
However, the more intense the war is, the more intense it is.
Therefore, since Shikaku led the ninja troops deep into the Land of Fire, the sharp blade team sent by the Fourth Hokage was something Shikaku has been thinking about. On the one hand, Shikaku is worried about the safety of off-road missions in the Blade Team. On the other hand, the situation of the Blade Team is directly related to the victory or defeat of the war at the rear.
Therefore, after learning about Shikaku's identity from Akai, the silly smile on Cross Country's face disappeared.
Moreover, at this time, Cross Country looked at Lu Jiu, not as he regarded Lu Jiu as his uncle before, but as a BOSS like Akai, his eyes instantly became solemn, and he reported to Lu Jiuhui: "Lord Shikaku, Kage, a member of the Blade Team, has successfully returned to the team! Please tell me, Lord Shikaku, how long have I been unconscious for?" "
About six hours!"
"Six hours?"
He silently calculated the time and took a deep breath. After taking a breath, he continued: "Lord Shikaku, about six hours ago, the Blade Team was going to meet up with another ANBU team of ours. Who would have thought that they would be ambushed by the Mist Ninja Team at the meeting place? I'm afraid another team All the members of our ANBU team died tragically at the hands of that Mist Ninja team." "
The members of the Mist Ninja team that we already know include Loquat Juzo, Watermelon Mountain Fugu Oni, and six Mist Ninja Jonin. We Although the Blade Team successfully killed all the members of the Mist Ninja Team, unfortunately due to the calculations of the Mist Ninja Deadpool, our Blade Team no longer has the ability to fight and can only temporarily leave the battle." "As for the subsequent situation, that
is Our sharp blade team met Akai and returned to our camp smoothly!" "
Well, I know all this."
Listening to the cross-country report, Shikaku nodded secretly, thinking about the two members of the Seven Mist Ninjas. After being intercepted and killed, being able to come back alive was considered a matter of luck in cross-country. Naturally, I was not prepared to blame him for being injured again in cross-country.
But among the members of the Mist Ninja team who recalled the cross-country story, there were actually two people, Juuzou Loquat and Pufferfish Demon from Watermelon Mountain. Shikaku couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Kage, are you sure it's Juuzou Loquat and Pufferfish Demon from Watermelon Mountain? "
Definitely!"
Cross Country nodded and said firmly: "Because Lei and Meng lost their combat capabilities, it was because of the Shark Muscles of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost. And the reason why we had to fight to the death with that Mist Ninja team was also because of Loquat Juuzang's Blood Mist Technique, so there are definitely two people, Loquat Juzo and Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost, participating in the battle." "
But if they really participate in the war, it would be really strange."
Listening to Cross Country's words, Shikaku not only felt uncomfortable He spread his brows, but instead frowned deeper, "Kage, do you know that the Mist Ninja team we fought against was led by the Seven Mist Ninjas. According to intelligence, Loquat Juuzang, Watermelon Mountain Fugu Ghost and Two People were still in the Mist Ninja camp not long ago, how could they go to attack your sharp blade team?" "
Impossible!"
Before Shikaku finished speaking, Cross Country exclaimed.
But just as the exclamation finished, Cross Country and Shikaku fell silent at the same time.
Obviously, both of them had certain speculations in their minds, but they didn't say it out loud.
Moreover, Cross Country was still a wounded person. Lu Jiu felt that there was no need to put too much burden on Cross Country. After being silent for a long time, he patted Cross Country on the shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "Kage, actually you did a good job. Let me, my uncle, handle the matter. Also, there is no need to worry about the injuries of your companions. Except for you who have been sleeping for the longest time in the Blade Team, Shun, Lei, and Meng woke up early. It is estimated that they only need It will take more than ten days of healing to fully recover."
"So, take a good rest today and forget about the mission for the time being." "Furthermore
, because Shun and the others need to recuperate, your sharp blade team is temporarily Disband and wait until Shun and the others are fully recovered before resuming the mission." "
Of course, while Shun and the others are recovering from their injuries, you still have other missions to perform." "
Get ready, you will go to Akai and the others tomorrow. Let’s report to the team!”
“I think Akai and their captain must have a lot to teach you!”
After Lu Jiu finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Instead, it was cross-country. After Shikaku finished speaking, he was very curious about who Akai's captain was, so he directly asked Shikaku: "Uncle Shikaku, who is the captain of Akai and the others?" "Akai and the others
are Captain!"
Cross Country's voice came, and Lu Jiu turned around with a mysterious smile on his lips.
Then, under the astonished gaze of Cross Country, before leaving, Lu Jiu still revealed a piece of information that made even Cross Country scratch his head!
"Akai's captain is a very interesting person."
"And off-road, your future captain will not be a jounin, but a genin!"
