Chapter 171 Refusing Any Possibility of Taking the Blame

The mortality rate of new Genin is very high. Even with a teacher leading the team, the mortality rate remains high.

Those who could not be assigned a teacher and had to form their own teams were even worse off. It was considered good if two or three out of ten could survive.

"In fact, the teacher has no objection to us leaving the village to carry out the mission. He even wants to take us out with him. But now he can't leave."

"It seems to make sense. My sister, that bastard Jiraiya, and Orochimaru didn't have many opportunities to go out on missions before. After all, their teacher is the Hokage."

Nawaki compared himself to Tsunade's trio, and found that he seemed to be treated much better than them.

Although his teacher was not a good person, fortunately, there was Shizue to replace Jiraiya, so his training would not fall behind.

"Forget it, let's not think about it. Since Jingyi has such an idea, let's look forward to it. Come on, little yellow hair, let's continue."

"Don't call me little yellow hair."

"Hey, others can yell, but I can't?"

"Two fools."

"Pfft! Shut up and don't call me that!!"

"The teacher can call, but I can't?"

“Ahhhhh!! Little yellow-haired boy, you’re going too far!!”

"You two idiots, we are the same."

"........."

Standing on the road not far from home, Jingyi looked at the two boys who were quarreling and arguing in the yard, and shook her head speechlessly.

Before he knew it, the little yellow-haired boy had also turned bad.

But what each of you said is very true.

If Nawaki can call Minato Namikaze a little yellow-haired boy, then it is reasonable for him to be called a fool in return.

Three days passed in a flash, and at a special passage in the Anbu, a group of ninjas from the Sarutobi and Shimura families gathered. There were about fifty of them, and these ninjas were the elite of the families.

He was specially selected by the Third Hokage.

In addition to them, there are two elder advisors.

Although Utane Koharu regretted it, she had no face to go back on her words as they were already spoken.

In addition to these people, the Third Hokage was also there.

As for Jingyi, he came alone and did not bring anyone from the Anbu.

"Jingyi, according to the agreement, I have selected a group of elite soldiers, and two elder advisors have also joined us. I hope that they can take charge. What do you think?"

The decision to let Utane Koharu and Mitokado En take charge was the result of the three of them sitting together and negotiating.

Utane Koharu is just a figurehead, the real commander is Mito Kado En.

They were worried that Jingyi might betray them after becoming the team leader.

So we must seize the initiative.

"Okay, I have no objection."

Jingyi had no intention of objecting to this.

It would be better if he wasn't in charge, so he wouldn't have to take the blame.

"Then let's go."

Mizuto Menyan is also a decisive person. Since he has to make this trip, he will be decisive and straightforward.

Finish the task early and come back early.

He believed that as long as he had the initiative in his own hands, the danger of the mission could be reduced.

Sometimes, the people who betray you are more terrifying than your enemies.

Therefore, with the initiative in hand, Mizuto Menyan was also full of confidence. After all, the members of the team were all carefully selected elites. As long as they were not surrounded by a large number of enemies, they could retreat calmly.

The group bid farewell to the Third Hokage, left the village through a special passage, and headed straight for the Wind Kingdom under the cover of night.

After leaving the village, the team's route did not go towards the River Country, but instead towards the Rain Country.

It is obvious that Mitomon En decided to sneak into the Kingdom of Wind from the direction of the Kingdom of Rain.

In the Land of Rivers, a full-scale war is going on. The defenses of the Sand Village must have reached a strict level. It would be more difficult to infiltrate from here, and it would be easier to encounter the enemy.

On the contrary, it is relatively quiet in the Rain Country. You just need to be careful to avoid the enemy's sentries and patrols.

On the way, Jingyi found that many people were secretly observing him. It was obvious that they were afraid that he would cause trouble.

What an ignorant person.

Jingyi didn't make any comment on this. If you like to observe, then just observe.

As long as you don't feel tired.

"Do we really need to tell him? We can't decide for ourselves?"

On the way, Koharu Utane was a little dissatisfied.

Because Mito Menyan said that he wanted to find a place to rest and then discuss the upcoming revenge plan with Jingyi. She felt that since the initiative was in their hands, there was no need to waste time negotiating with Jingyi. They could just make the decision themselves.

"........."

Can't you broaden your horizons a little?

Mizuto Menen really wanted to reason with Utatane Koharu, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Because once Utane Koharu is unreasonable, there is a high probability that he will lose his temper, and at that time he won't be able to explain himself clearly even if he is right.

"Just because Hiruzen handed over the command to us doesn't mean we can leave Hinata Shizuichi aside. He is also a member of our team."

Mito Kado En had no choice but to bring out the Third Hokage.

"OK then."

Seeing that the Third Hokage had been moved out, Utane Koharu had no choice but to compromise.

The team stopped to rest. Jingyi had no questions. It seemed as if he was an outsider who came here to enjoy the scenery and didn't care at all about what mission he was carrying out.

Looking at Jingyi standing on the rock, leisurely looking at the sunrise, holding juice and meat patties that he had taken out from somewhere and eating slowly, Mito Menyan really didn't know what to say.

Brother, we are here to carry out a mission, not to watch the sunrise or enjoy the scenery.

"Ahem, Jingyi........."

"Is something wrong?"

Jingyi was watching the sunrise and eating the delicious meat pie. She felt very relaxed at the moment. If that was not enough, she would just have another sip of juice.

But fruit juice is not satisfying enough. When I have free time in the future, I will pull Orochimaru over and let him study the formula of happy water and make it.

In the hot summer, have a bottle of iced happy water, take a sip, the taste is amazing.

Taking his eyes away from Jingyi, Mitomon En walked forward and stood side by side with him: "For a long time to come, we will need to work together to complete the tasks assigned to us by the village. I have some ideas I want to discuss with you."

"No, no, you can decide for yourself. After all, the right to command is in your hands. You don't need to ask me for this kind of thing. I can do it."

Jingyi shook her head decisively and refused.

What a joke. I don't have the authority to command. As long as I don't interfere in anything and do my job well, it won't be my turn to take the blame even if the mission fails or the team suffers heavy losses.

Why would you drag me into this kind of thing where I need to take the blame?

Mitomon En: "........."

Eating meat patties and drinking juice, Jing walked away leisurely.

Don't give the other party a chance to speak again.

In short, I, Hinata Shizuka, have nothing to do with these things. You can do whatever you want, but just don't involve me.

"I was rejected."

Mitomon En came back dejectedly, and Utane Koharu couldn't help but laugh at him.
