Chapter 42

In the eastern suburbs of Konoha, a group of four people passed through dense buildings and walked along small paths.

A green field with a wide view appeared in front of them.

Walking on the East Suburb Road, there were green fields on both sides and in the distance were hills whose shapes could not be seen clearly.

There were farmers working in the fields, and a few sparrows flew in and out.

A small insect was twisted in its mouth.

A thatched hut could be seen every few hundred meters, and many farm tools were placed outside the hut.

Sakura was quite excited when she came here for the first time.

Although she had lived in Konoha for twelve years, she was not very familiar with the fields.

"The air here is so good, hehe! I have been in Konoha for so long, but this is the first time I have seen such a scene!"

"This is the first time I've seen it, too."

Yagyu looked around carelessly at the tranquility, and suddenly felt that this place was more suitable for him than the Moonlight Clan.

He hadn't been to the East Suburbs in the past twelve years, and the places he went to most were the Ninja School, the family, the commercial street, the back mountain, the training ground, and the park.

He was not familiar with other places.

"It seems that you all stay at home. How about I take on a few more missions in the suburbs and take you to see them?" Kakashi asked with a smile.

"Haha, that's not necessary.

The three of them refused in unison.

"But it's so clean here, is there really any garbage?"

Yagyu was a little confused.

The air here was fresh, the sky was blue, there were insects, birds, white clouds, and lush green plants.

It didn't look like they needed ninjas to clean it up.

"The place we are going to clean up is not here."

Kakashi said,"We are now in a field that is planned for farming, and what we are going to clean up is the river that provides water to this field."

"River channel?"

""Well, the water flowing out of the mountain, we should go there!"

Kakashi pointed to the hill in the distance and said lightly.

After passing through the city and the fields, they finally came to the foot of the hill.

Standing at the foot of the hill, Yagyu and his friends looked up and could see the top of the hill.

With their speed, if they were faster, they should be able to reach the top of the hill in just ten minutes.

"This mountain is so small."

Yagyu murmured, and continued to climb up with the team.

Soon, they came to the halfway point of the mountain.

There was a cave halfway up the mountain, and the water for irrigating the farmland flowed out from this cave continuously.

It was like a mysterious pocket that never ran out of water.

Sakura stood in front of the cave and looked inside, only to see darkness.

Suddenly, an eye emitted a sharp light that scared her.

"ah!"

"There's someone! There's someone inside!"

Sakura hugged Yagyu's arm tightly, looking for a sense of security.

Yagyu gently stroked the back of her hand and slowly walked towards the cave entrance.

A magic weapon appeared out of thin air in his hand and he threw it inside.

""Ninjutsu without seals?"

Kakashi was surprised. He didn't expect that Yagyu's control over ninjutsu had reached this level.

He had only seen ninjutsu without seals in storybooks. He had never seen anyone who could do this.

How many aspects of my student's genius have I not discovered yet?

At this time, the interior of the cave was illuminated by the fire, revealing the figures of countless bats.

The brightness and temperature of the flames frightened them and they fled to the cave entrance in panic.

Yagyu immediately pulled Sakura back and flew away, so that they were not swallowed by the group of bats.

""So many bats!"

Sasuke murmured.

The dark flying figures reminded him of a man's summoning beast.

Yagyu was still stroking Sakura's hand, comforting her.

"It's okay, it's just a bat, don't be scared"

""Yeah."

Actually, Sakura was no longer afraid after seeing clearly that it was a bat.

She just wanted to get more comfort and care from Yagyu.

And even if there was a person inside, she was not afraid.

She was only afraid of the darkness.

"The inside of the cave is connected to another mountain, and behind one mountain is another mountain. The entire river is continuous, just like the mountains connecting them, all the way to the Iron Kingdom."

"The water here all flows from the melted snow mountains of the Iron Country. On the way, it passes through villages, and some of their domestic garbage occasionally flows into the river. If it is not cleaned up for a long time, it will accumulate in the river."

"This river is related to the water used for Konoha's fields and some drinking water, so it is very important."

Kakashi explained to the three people

""If the enemy poisons such an important place, wouldn't Konoha be in danger?" Sasuke suddenly asked coldly. Kakashi turned his head to look at him and smiled,"Don't worry about that. Since Konoha will send ninjas to clean the river regularly, they will naturally send people to check the water quality regularly to ensure that the water is not dangerous."

"In addition, this area is guarded by a team of jonin, so they will not let the bad guys succeed easily."

Sakura was slightly surprised,"Are there other ninjas here?"

"It may not be in this mountain, but in any mountain in that mountain range."

Kakashi pointed to the back of the mountain, but the Yagyu and his companions could only see the body of the mountain.

"Well, those are none of our business. Our task is to clean up the domestic garbage in the river. Let’s work hard and try to pick up all the garbage today!"

""Okay!"

Only Sakura responded to Kakashi, which made Kakashi a little embarrassed.

But fortunately, the three of them obeyed and went to the river to pick up garbage, so that he, the captain, would not be without dignity.

It is really not an easy thing to be the captain of a powerful team.

Looking at the three people carrying bamboo baskets and holding tweezers, picking up garbage on the river, Kakashi also took out a book from the ninja tool bag and lay on a boulder by the river to rest.

He has read this book by Jiraiya several times, and he can see new things every time. It is really a great work in the novel world!

Just as Kakashi was gradually sinking into the novel, a discordant voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Teacher Kakashi can get 2,000 ryo without doing anything, how abominable!"

"......"

Turn over and pretend you didn't hear

"I have a way to make it easier for us."

"any solution?"

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three clouds of smoke exploded, and Yagyu, Sasuke, and Sakura each created a shadow clone to do the garbage picking work for them.

The three real bodies came to Kakashi's side and lay down leisurely.

"ah~"
