Chapter 55: Metkai decided it was you.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a while and finally nodded,

"Sasuke, you are also from the village. Have you thought about who you want to do this task in advance?"

"I don't know many jounin. The few heads of other clans I know well are probably jounin. However, it would be inappropriate to go on a trip with a junior like me. The other jounin... …I only know Kakashi-senpai and Gai-senpai, and I only meet them a few times, and I’m not sure if they have time.”

"Hokage-sama, I don't have any requirements for candidates. If I have the opportunity to meet seniors who I am not familiar with before, that is what I hope. I will obey your arrangements."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took almost no time to make a decision in his mind. After all, there were only so many jounin in Konoha, and he could tell who was free when.

"Is it okay to leave tomorrow morning?"

"Yes. Thank you, Hokage-sama. I will retreat first."

Seeing that the old guy has made up his mind and holds back his words even before he speaks, he is exactly the same as several leaders in his previous life. I hope he can hold it in when he goes to the toilet!

next day

As soon as the Hokage Building opened, Sasuke's shadow clone went to the waiting room and hung up.

It was estimated that he would be out for two or three days, and he had already left all the household chores to Naruto. There was no need to weed the fields every day, but the livestock had to be fed every day.

In fact, after learning that Sasuke had an operation to hire Naruto, Xiao Li also participated in it many times with great enthusiasm. Normally, if he wasn't rushing to harvest crops in the fields, Sasuke wouldn't take the initiative to find Xiao Li. Of course, if Xiao Li comes to him if he has "needs", Sasuke can always find some work for him to do.

Sasuke, who was called to the mission reception area, saw a green tights when he opened the door for the first time. Although there were many people wearing uniforms and vests, he was the only one in the audience from top to bottom, and he was very conspicuous.

I still can’t figure out why it’s nicknamed “Blue Beast” even though it’s green.

"Hello, Hokage-sama."

"Kai came back from a mission yesterday, so he couldn't arrange it until a day later."

"Hello, Kai-senpai! I'm Uchiha Sasuke, and I'm leaving it to you."

"Then young Sasuke, just leave everything to me with peace of mind! If I meet Itachi, I will definitely capture him back to Konoha!" Kai gave a thumbs up, his teeth shining in a confident smile.

Sasuke murmured in his heart: There is no need to capture Konoha. It would be best if he could open the Seven Gates immediately and take me away. (But the operation of escaping is difficult to explain to the hot-blooded Kaiming, let alone write it down in the mission announcement.) Itachi probably can't be encountered, and it's not Itachi that he's guarding against. Old man Hiruzen probably doesn't want you to really capture Itachi!

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already briefed Kai on the mission content before Sasuke arrived. The deposit was paid yesterday. Due to special requirements, Kai was the only one to take on the mission this time.

With an exclusive mission bonus of 8 taels, even if 20% of the commission is deducted, what Metkay finally got was even comparable to a group of three people sharing an entry-level A-level mission. The time was also short, at most two Three days, maybe even one day if you’re lucky.

Konoha Hidden Village is a national-level military base. It was originally located in the northwest of the Land of Fire to become a line of defense to protect the capital "Fire City" from foreign enemies. The "empty zone" is located further west of Konoha Hidden Village, close to the rain. The location of the country and the country of rivers is built on the ruins of human cities.

The distance between the "empty area" and Konoha Hidden Village is just over 100 kilometers, which is closer to Konoha than the national border.

This was the first time that Sasuke walked out of the gate of Konoha Hidden Village openly.

I also met two legendary door gods - Shenyue Izumo and Gang Zitie. If I remember correctly, these two were less than 30 when Xiaoqiang first graduated. There were still two years left, and they were only twenty-five or sixty-seven now. Eight years old?

You really have to look at the door at a young age. If you get it right in one step, it's a yes.

The scenery outside the wall was no different from other places when he sneaked out of the village. There were trees everywhere, but there was an extra dirt road that had been walked repeatedly. Some ruts could be seen, but Sasuke's state of mind But it's a lot different.

Games start! This is my turn.

"Then let's try to get there in one hour! Sasuke-kun, let me see the results of your training in the past few years!"

Laozi was startled, thinking that Kai heard what he said in his heart.

Sasuke came to his senses and spoke to stop him.

"Senior Kai, I am going to the Kong District to visit an old friend and elder. There are many cats there. They are sensitive to smells. It would be very rude if their body was full of sweat smell, so please don't leave too fast. We can arrive before noon. "

Originally, I planned to take a closer look at the scenery on the way to see if there were any new discoveries in flora and fauna. I was in a good mood. Who would want to go for a run?

Exercising is a life-long necessity, and not everyone likes to sweat the sweat of youth like you.

Although from the perspective of life-saving, Gai still feels safer than Kakashi, Yuya is still better in this regard. There was a hint of regret for not choosing Kakashi as his bodyguard.

"Young man Sasuke, don't relax in your daily training. I know there is a river near the empty area. We can run there and take a bath."

"I've got extra clean clothes ready!"

As he spoke, Kai gave a thumbs up again, and with his other hand he took out a soft green object from nowhere - the same small one-piece bodysuit of the same style as Metkai.

It's not that Sasuke has any prejudice against tights. Wearing black or white tights over sportswear is also common practice. Spider-Man or other MV special tights are also not uncommon.

But this is the color, green!

Besides dancing, gymnastics, and diving, who else would do nothing but wear a one-piece and tights? Wearing a ninja-style vest will greatly enhance your appearance.

"Both the breathability and moisturizing properties are excellent, making it convenient for the ninja's various actions."

"With its perfect shape and elegant lines, it is definitely a must-have outfit for home visits!"

Wow, I can actually hear the word "outfit" from your mouth, and I don't even know if anything from hairstyle to clothing can be regarded as an outfit... Well, it can be regarded as a negative lesson in outfits.

Complaints in your heart are complaints, but you still have to pay attention to your image with your mouth.

"Thank you, Senior Kai, for your kindness. I have some spare clothes prepared just in case. Then let's leave without further ado!"

If you run, just run. It's more comfortable than listening to tight clothes. The physical torture can be endured, but the mental attack cannot be stopped! You can't use Sharingan genjutsu on this matter and pretend you didn't hear it.

I really ran without taking a breath, not even a pause. Maybe it was because Kai saw that he could really hold on, so he didn't pause.

The empty area has appeared not far away from the two people's field of vision. It is surrounded by Gobi and is lifeless. It is difficult to imagine that there can be such a barren terrain near the intersection of Kawa no Kuni, Ume no Kuni and Konoha. It can only be classified as a mountain plateau. Mostly because there is less rainfall.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke, I didn't expect the river to be dry at this time. It was still a very wide river before."

If the ravine in front of me is a river, if you look carefully at both sides, there are indeed water marks left by the river when it passed by, but now there is only the stream water that is less than the height of the instep.
