Chapter 74 Future Mizukage Mei Terumi (3rd update)
In the night.
A petite figure suddenly appeared.
She was wearing a gray vest and a cat mask on her face, revealing only a pair of green eyes.
Her reddish-brown hair was blowing in the wind. She was not tall, about 1.23 meters tall, and she was a little girl.
"It's human blood. It seems the direction is right."
She looked around and quickly discovered the blood on the leaves, stretched out her hand and pinched it.
"Terumi Mei, how is the situation?"
Behind her, two figures fell one after another.
Same clothes and masks, only they are older and the height of adults.
"Senior Cod, please call me by my code name during the mission."
Terumi Mei said in a serious tone.
"Oh, what an unlovable junior."
Cod shook his head and said with a smile.
"Let's go."
Terumi Mei glanced at him and said, "Catch him back as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, he can't run away."
The scallop next to him spoke.
"Yes, just a chuunin."
Cod nodded in agreement, and suggested, "We've been chasing for a day, let's rest for a night and then chase again."
"This is the first mission given to me by Elder Yuanshi. There must be no mistakes."
Terumi Mei jumped up and disappeared into the night.
"Let's go."
Cod reluctantly followed her.
Scallops are a close second.
…
Hanekawa lay next to Tsunade.
In the darkness, one could hear the chirping of insects and birds and her breathing outside the tent.
"How do you feel about going out for the first time?"
Tsunade asked, turning to look at him.
"fine."
Hanekawa paused and said, "Especially teacher, it's the first time I've seen you so serious."
"What words? Didn't I take it seriously before?"
Tsunade couldn't help but raise her hand and hit him on the head.
"What do you think?"
Hanekawa asked rhetorically.
"Serious too."
Tsunade showed a guilty look, but fortunately in the darkness, she couldn't see it at all.
"..."
Hanekawa was speechless for a while.
He thought he was thick-skinned enough, but he didn't expect there were experts.
"We will enter the Kingdom of Water tomorrow, so you have to be more careful then."
Tsunade changed the subject and asked, "Do you know what Kirigakure Village is also called?"
"What?"
Hanekawa followed her words and asked.
"It's the Blood Mist Village."
Tsunade said in a deep voice, "The Kirigakure Village has always implemented a cruel and high-pressure policy, especially the obliteration of blood successor limit ninjas."
In his previous life, Hanekawa thought that the Blood Mist Village was caused by the fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura being controlled by Uchiha Obito, but it was not actually the case.
This was already the policy at the time of the Third Mizukage.
It's just that Uchiha Obito is more laissez-faire.
"Not long ago, a big event happened in Kirigakure Village."
Tsunade continued, "A student named Zabuza Momochi killed all the students in his class when he graduated."
Hanekawa's heart moved.
Mochi Zabuza, in the original work, is one of the Seven Second Generation Ninja Swordsmen.
Because he failed to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura, he became a rebel ninja.
While working for a wealthy businessman named Kado, he met Team 7 led by Kakashi Hatake and died in their hands.
There is also a little follower named Bai beside him, who likes women's clothing and is good at using ice escape.
"In Kirigakure Village, such killings often happen."
Tsunade stretched out her hand, touched his head, and said, "You must be extremely cautious."
"Yes, teacher."
Hanekawa nodded and said.
"Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow."
Tsunade withdrew her hand and closed her eyes.
After a while, there was the sound of steady breathing.
A new day.
Warm sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the tent.
Hanekawa opened his eyes.
What catches the eye is the outline that is constantly rising and falling with breathing.
Only then did he realize that he had been leaning against Tsunade without even realizing it.
"teacher."
Hanekawa opened his sleeping bag and sat up.
"Did something happen last night?"
Tsunade woke up quickly.
Although she usually likes to sleep in, during missions, she is a qualified ninja.
"The trap I set didn't trigger."
Hanekawa walked out of the tent, took a look, and said.
"That's good."
Tsunade yawned and said.
She packed up her sleeping bag, walked out of the tent, and stretched.
"Bring out the map."
Tsunade said casually while eating rice balls.
Hanekawa opened the map with both hands and placed it in front of her.
"This is our meeting point."
Tsunade pointed to a point on the map and said, "Remember the route. Don't forget it. You can meet him when the time comes."
"What about you?"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Hanekawa was stunned for a moment and asked.
"I'll be watching you from behind."
Tsunade said calmly, "I will only take action if you encounter an invincible enemy."
"I see!"
Hanekawa's heart trembled and he felt pressure.
Although he has cheats and good strength, this is his first time fighting an enemy.
"for you."
Tsunade took out a Konoha forehead protector, "Only if you wear this will he believe you."
"Um."
Just as Hanekawa was about to take over Konoha's forehead protector, he saw Tsunade coming around behind him.
"be safe."
With a complicated look on her face, Tsunade put the Konoha forehead protector on his forehead.
The last ninja she personally put on a forehead protector for was Naoki.
"I will."
Hanekawa nodded slightly.
The two of them had breakfast, dismantled their tents, and took a boat to the Kingdom of Water.
After getting off the boat, Tsunade said hello and disappeared.
Hanekawa took a deep breath and opened the eight-fold mirror.
He didn't learn the sensory ninjutsu, so the vision of the eight-fold mirror came in handy at this time.
Hanekawa found the right direction and walked towards the joint.
Soon, he reached his destination.
A small forest.
The location where they join is the northernmost tree.
The Konohagakure intelligence officers who escaped from Kirigakure Village will hide in the trees when they arrive.
Hanekawa did not show his face directly, but stood in the distance and observed with an eight-fold mirror.
He looked at it for a while and couldn't help but frown slightly.
There was no one in the tree.
Could it be that something went wrong?
Hanekawa thought for a while, made no move, and continued to wait.
I don't know how long it took before he suddenly turned his head.
He heard heavy footsteps.
In the eight-fold mirror, a young man came into view.
He was covered in wounds and looked extremely embarrassed.
And behind him, followed a petite figure.
"The ANBU of Kirigakure Village?"
Hanekawa subconsciously held the katana at his waist.
The young man is an intelligence officer of Konoha Village. If he dies, it means the mission has failed.
He must save people.
But this Kirigakure ANBU is a little strange.
Did you become an ANBU at such a young age?
Undoubtedly a genius.
So... who is protecting her?
Hanekawa released his katana and formed a seal with his hands.
Clone technique!
Another Hanekawa appeared next to him.
Hanekawa stared at the ANBU, and when she approached the young man, she suddenly threw out four kunai.
After the launch, he ran away quickly without looking at the results.
"who?"
Terumi Mei heard the sound of breaking wind.
She quickly moved back, and four kunai fell to the ground.
"careful!"
The sound of cod rings out.
Terumi Mei calmed down and found four kunai, one of which had a detonating charm attached to it.
Boom!
The detonator exploded.
"Did it work?"
Hanekawa took a look with the eight-fold mirror, then shook his head.
In front of Terumi Mei, a wall of water was erected, blocking the detonating talisman.
But it's not completely ineffective.
Cod saves Mei Terumi.
Scallop followed the direction of kunai and found the clone left by Hanekawa.
The clones of the clone technique had no effect, but Hanekawa already knew their number.
There are two more updates during the day, I will post them together after I finish writing them.
