Chapter 373 Konohamaru, can you do it?

Fortunately.

After a period of time, embarrassment tends to become commonplace.

As time went by, Ebisu's face had gone from being flushed at first to being indifferent.

Isn't it just that the Genin he brought out was a little embarrassing? What does it have to do with him, the Jonin Ebisu?

no big deal.

Slowly, the group got farther and farther away from the village.

Soon, nearly some time passed.

The sun gradually slid down the mountain.

Konohamaru and the other two also went from being excited at the beginning to becoming exhausted.

After all, he had been on high alert since he left the village, and his mind was overly focused, causing his head to feel a little numb now.

"I'm so tired." Udon sighed. "Moe Huang, how far have we walked? How long will it take to get there?"

Meng Huang took out the map, checked it for a moment and said, "We are halfway there."

"If we rest at night, we probably won't arrive until tomorrow night."

Upon hearing this, Udon suddenly felt that the road ahead was long.

Even Konohamaru couldn't hold on any longer.

He glanced behind him and found that Uchiha Aoi and the other two were still as relaxed as when they left the village. Following behind them, he suddenly felt a little unbalanced.

He was busy scouting ahead, but the other side just acted like they were on a picnic.

Why?

I wanted to change shifts, but I couldn't bring myself to do so.

After all, when they set out, he was the one who volunteered to take on the task of reconnaissance and surveillance.

After walking for a while, Konohamaru still felt that this was not a solution.

After all, human energy is limited.

But just when he was trying to find a reason to ask Uchiha Aoi and others to take over the guard shift, the latter suddenly spoke up.

"Konohamaru, are you okay?"

"If you really can't hold on, should we take the lead in keeping on alert?"

"Don't worry, we are here to make sure no one can sneak up on you."

"What...what do you mean I can't do it?" Konohamaru's face suddenly changed when he heard that, and he subconsciously retorted: "I can do it very well."

"It's just a simple alert. It's easy for me!"

In an instant, Konohamaru forgot all his tiredness and reluctance.

Compared to being considered "incapable" and "talking big" by Uchiha Aoi, even if he was exhausted to death and fell on the road, he would not beg for a replacement in a humble manner!

"Oh~ So that's how it is." Uchiha Aoi looked as if she had realized it. "Konohamaru, you have great stamina. I thought you had no strength left."

"How could that be." Konohamaru straightened his chest and put on a heroic and proud posture: "Although you have defeated me a few (hundreds) times in school by chance, but in terms of physical strength and endurance, I will not give in to you."

Uchiha Aoi: "Really? That's good."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Hinata Hanabi covered her mouth and laughed.

Murakami Daichi, who was standing by, looked at Ebisu who had a wooden face beside him, then looked at Konohamaru who was "reconnaissance" in front of him, and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

Poor Konohamaru.

Being played around by Sister Kui.

As smart as he is, he knows very well that the arrogant Uchiha Aoi suddenly said so much to Konohamaru in order to stimulate him to continue to take on the vigilance work. The purpose is to retaliate against the other party's bad attitude in the morning.

Murakami Daichi had long seen clearly that Uchiha Aoi and Hyuga Hanabi, his two companions, were not easy to deal with, so even he had to be very careful and be careful not to offend them.

Konohamaru, why did you have to pick on Sister Aoi when you could pick on anyone else? Your strength and IQ are so lacking, so if it's not you who will be unlucky.

The sun slipped out from between two mountain peaks, the sunset glow dissipated, and the dark night spread.

After an unknown amount of time, Konohamaru, who had been holding on, finally heard the voice he had been waiting for.

"Let's stop and rest." Uchiha Aoi stopped the team when passing by bushes and grass.

It’s not that I feel sorry for Konohamaru, but it’s too late and the moonlight is not bright enough, so it’s not cost-effective to continue on the journey.

"Hu~~~" Konohamaru let out a long sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

This time, he didn't even dare to ask whether he should continue walking for a while, but directly agreed to Uchiha Aoi's proposal.

Udon and Moegi were also very tired, but compared to Konohamaru, they were better off. In the second half of the alert, they had already started to slack off.

After all, with two senior ninjas here, the danger is greatly reduced, and it's okay to take a break for a while.

"At night, our two groups will take turns to keep watch." Uchiha Aoi, as the team leader, discussed with Konohamaru. Keeping watch was more important than daytime reconnaissance, and she had no intention of continuing to torture the other party.

"Let's set up camp and eat now. There should be less than eight hours left until tomorrow. We will guard the first four hours of the night, and you guard the second half hour. How do you think?"

"I have no objection." Konohamaru naturally agreed. He couldn't keep watch in the first half of the night. He just wanted to eat and have a good sleep.

Without any instructions from Suzumiya Musashi and Ebisu, the six people took out their tools and started to set up the tents. Hinata Hanabi originally planned to set up the tents of Suzumiya Musashi and Ebisu together, but was rejected by Suzumiya Musashi.

"Don't worry about us, just pretend we're not here."

After setting up the tent, Murakami Daichi planned to take a walk around the area to see if there was any prey and get some game to eat, but was rejected by Uchiha Aoi.

"It's only a few days, just bear with it and eat some dry food."

"Don't add unnecessary complications."

Murakami Daichi could only give up this plan. They took out the dry food they had brought in the morning, heated it up with some water, and ate it with pickled vegetables.

As for Konohamaru.

This guy was too lazy to even eat his dry food. He ate several ration pills in a row, and his face turned purple from choking. After hurriedly gulping down a few gulps of water, he fell asleep in the tent.

The night gradually quieted down.

The atmosphere became quiet, with only the sound of even breathing and occasional mumbling in sleep remaining in the tent.

Hinata Hanabi sat outside the tent. Every once in a while, she would stand up, open her Byakugan, and look around 360 degrees without any blind spots.

The campsite chosen by Uchiha Aoi was very good. The bushes around it were getting taller and taller. As long as one raised their head slightly, the Byakugan's ability to see through things would be at its maximum. Once someone or a large wild animal approached, it would be easy to spot them.

After another round of inspection, Hinata Hanabi closed her eyes and silently circulated her chakra to widen her soft fist meridians.

At a certain moment, she heard some noise behind her. When she found out it was Murakami Daichi, she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that he was going to the bathroom.

But after a while, a pungent smell drifted towards her against the wind.

In an instant, Hinata Hanabi frowned and held her breath.

What a smell!

Inside the tent, Suzumiya Musashi, who was practicing Yin-Yang Release, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ah!~" Suddenly a scream sounded in the quiet camp.

In an instant, everyone woke up, walked out of the tent in panic, and looked in the direction where the scream came from.

"what happened!?"

"It's Konohamaru's voice!"

At the same time, Konohamaru woke up in shock from his sleep!

His face was distorted and his facial features were severely deformed.

He shouted angrily, “Who is it?”
