Chapter 40 Trees that come alive

Tsunade's choice of A-level missions was not random, but the result of careful consideration.

On the surface, Shizune is a chuunin, and Kabuto Yakushi and Natsume are genin.

But actually? Kabuto Yakushi and Natsume are also chunin.

Especially Natsume, after exposing his wooden escape, he was on the verge of becoming a jounin.

Coupled with the fact that she is the leader of the team, the average difficulty of the tasks does not serve the purpose of training.

A-level missions are just right.

The four people turned into four black shadows, rising and falling, and disappeared into the distance.

Not too fast.

As a chuunin, his physical strength is far inferior to that of a jounin.

Tsunade naturally understands this.

Too fast and too urgent, Natsume and others couldn't bear it.

If you encounter enemies on the road again, you may get into trouble.

"After more than two years of long-term war, both Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village are relatively tired. The current front lines are mainly small-scale sneak attacks."

Tsunade said as she hurried on, "Our mission is to remove the hidden sentry in Yunyin Village and rescue the Akimichi Shito team."

"Sito Akimichi?"

Natsume felt vaguely familiar. He seemed to be a minor supporting character in his previous life.

"Well, their team's mission is the same as ours, but now they have lost contact."

Tsunade glanced at him and replied, "Sito Akimichi is a jounin, and the one who can put them in crisis must be a jounin, so our mission can be upgraded to S level anytime and anywhere."

Natsume didn't panic.

Whether they can encounter it or not is a question.

Even if they meet, generally speaking, the number of jounin will not be too many.

Tsunade can totally handle it.

Unless you meet a super jounin like the Fourth Raikage.

"Medical ninjas will not join the battle until the end."

Tsunade continued to speak and said, "But Shizune is different from Kabuto in that they have the ability to fight. When encountering an enemy, Natsume will be the main attacker, and the remaining two will provide assistance depending on the situation."

"OK."

Natsume and the other three answered in unison.

"One more thing."

Tsunade looked at Natsume again, with some worry in her eyes, "The three of you, especially Natsume, are going to the battlefield for the first time, and it may be the first time to kill someone. If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself."

Killing, many times, will cause certain psychological disorders.

Some people will feel nauseous and want to vomit, some people will have no reaction, and some people will be left traumatized by it.

As medical ninjas, Shizune and Kabuto Yakushi are used to seeing blood in hospitals.

But Natsume didn't.

Tsunade was most worried about him.

If adverse reactions occur, it can be very dangerous on the battlefield.

"I see."

Natsume gave her a reassuring look in return.

Tsunade nodded.

Just take action yourself when the time comes.

In fact, it would be difficult for her to pay attention to anyone else.

As a ninja, you can't even overcome this little psychological barrier. You can just go home and raise pigs, and you're still a ninja.

Tsunade's reaction to Natsume was concern.

I can only say that everyone has double standards.

But Natsume liked it and wanted to rush into her arms right now to thank her.

Ten minutes later, the four people entered a small forest.

Tsunade stopped and said: "The convoys transporting supplies from the Country of Fire often pass by here when they come to our Konoha base camp, so there are many hidden sentries from Kumogakure around. We kept walking north and finally arrived at the place where Akimichi Shitō disappeared. Location."

The so-called hidden sentry is a small fixed stronghold.

There are usually three to ten ninjas stationed here, and the location is quite secretive.

Responsible for surveillance on weekdays, and can provide timely support if there is a battle.

The leaves are pulled out, and the clouds are hidden.

This has been the norm for more than two years.

Of course, in many areas, it became Kumogakure, Konoha species.

Because Konoha is richer and has added various sealing techniques and barrier techniques, the secret sentry is stronger and often has a slight advantage in time.

"Kabuto, you conduct the investigation."

Tsunade ordered, "Natsume and Shizune are responsible for protection."

In fact, among the three of them, none of them are specialized detective ninjas.

But Kabuto Yakushi had learned a lot of detective ninjutsu.

This was taught by Tsunade at Natsume's suggestion.

In the original work, Kabuto the pharmacist is a very good spy, and he is naturally good at the two types of ninjutsu: stealth and detection.

Although it is not as good as the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, it is enough for use.

Tsunade wouldn't let him do the reconnaissance alone, this was to train Kabuto Yakushi.

She also conducts reconnaissance to avoid anyone slipping through the net.

"There are four people's chakras ahead at three o'clock. They are not moving."

After a while, Kabuto Yakushi opened his eyes and said.

The perception ninjutsu he uses requires you to close your eyes for detection.

Although dangerous, it can grasp the enemy's situation in more detail.

Natsume nodded and took the lead, walking in front.

Soon, he saw a guard post.

From the outside, it looks like a fortress.

Normally, it would take some effort for a ninja to remove it.

"Kabuto, help me cover up the chakra fluctuations."

After Natsume finished speaking, he began to form seals.

Yakushi Kabuto masters medical ninjutsu, but his secondary studies are more complicated.

Everything.

It can be called an all-round assistant.

He quickly arranged a temporary barrier.

Although the effect only lasts for three seconds, it is enough.

Water Escape: Great Waterfall Technique!

A-level water escape.

Not to mention genin, even chuunin has a hard time using it.

But Natsume's chakra has reached the jounin level under various increases, which is about one card.

Huge chakra gathered in the throat, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a waterfall and swept through the outpost.

Yun Ren, who was on duty, suddenly became energetic.

What's going on?

As soon as he turned his head, his hair stood on end.

"enemy……"

Before he finished speaking, he was drowned in water.

He was just a chuunin and fell into a peaceful sleep without much struggle.

The waterfall then covered the outpost.

The outpost was relatively strong, but it was not airtight.

The water poured in immediately.

The three Kumo ninja sleeping inside had been awakened, and when they saw the water, they ran away in panic.

Natsume is waiting for them.

When the three people appeared, many thorns protruded from the trees on both sides.

How come the tree is alive?

Still hitting people?

Why can't you speak?

The cloud ninja did not expect such an attack at all, and they were all linked together.

Natsume immediately restored the trees to their original state.

"Well done."

Tsunade appeared next to him, her eyes swept over his face, and she breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he had no abnormal reaction.

"Kabuto, collect the loot. If it's useful information, leave it to me."

She turned to look at the dead Kumo ninjas and gave another order.

Kabuto Yakushi immediately entered the post and began a search.

"I am coming too."

Natsume always felt that Tsunade was too partial to him, which was not good.

At least in front of Shizune and Yakushi Kabuto, it was a bit inappropriate.

Tsunade was slightly startled, then laughed.

Natsume was different from her after all.

Unconscious preference is natural.

But this kid is really sensible.

The search was completed and nothing of value was found.

The four of them were back on the road.

At the same time, the base camp of Yunyin Village.

Naturally, Tsunade and Hyuga Hizashi's participation in the war was not hidden.

They had no intention of hiding it.

The Fourth Raikage looked at the information in front of him and sighed with emotion: "Konoha is really blessed."

Even after the Nine-Tails Rebellion and the death of a Hokage, his strength has not diminished much.

It's outrageous.

Yunyin Village has been accumulating strength.

The Third Raikage was even willing to die from exhaustion with one man against ten thousand, just to keep his strength.

However, Konoha Village's various tricks can actually maintain a balance with Yunyin Village.

It was natural for the Fourth Raikage to feel this way.

"If the fight continues, I'm afraid the jinchuriki will have to join the battle to have a chance of victory."

The one-eyed jounin on the side, Toshiro, said.

He is the reviewer of Zeuniu Thunder Plow Hot Knife and is deeply trusted by Raikage.

"It's not necessary. After fighting for so long, it's time to stop."

The dull voice of the Fourth Raikage sounded, "Let our geniuses have some time to grow up. Nozomi, the two Yukitos, Darui, and Mabui are only teenagers. In a few years, they will They are the pillars of our Yunyin Village."

But how to stop is the question.

Taking the initiative to seek peace would be too shameless and would easily allow Konoha Village to gain further advantage.

The Fourth Raikage's eyes flashed with thought.
