Chapter 97

Chiyu met Hatake Sakumo at the Konoha stronghold in the Land of Grass.

Hatake Sakumo was quite in favor of Chiyu accepting Kakashi as his disciple.

Hatake Sakumo asked,"Chiyu, why did you come to the Land of Grass? As far as I know, the situation in the Land of Hot Springs has stabilized now, and the Land of Grass has always been like that, and there won't be any fierce battles.

If you want to fight, the battles with the ninjas from the Sand Village in the River Country will be more frequent, right?"

Chiyu replied,"Lord Sakumo, I came to the Land of Grass not to fight, but to find something, so for the next mission, I hope Lord Sakumo can arrange some reconnaissance missions for me and give me a certain degree of freedom."

Hatake Sakumo frowned. Came to the Land of Grass to find something?

Hatake Sakumo thought Chiyu had received some confidential mission, so he didn't ask much.

Hatake Sakumo asked again:"Then how much freedom do you need?"

Chiyu thought for a while and said:"I hope that after I detect the Iwagakure ninjas and determine the number of the enemy, I can attack independently, so that I can teach Kakashi through actual combat."

Hatake Sakumo agreed directly:"If it is just this request, I can still agree, but I also want to remind you Chiyu, you must not be brave.

If you encounter a team of more than four people, retreat immediately, and the fighting time cannot be too long to prevent the enemy's support.

The ninjas of the Iwagakure are very cunning and cautious.

They usually don't fight with a small number of people.

If they encounter a strong ninja, they will retreat decisively, and then support the Iwagakure ninjas from nearby, forming a situation of many against few.

Because the ninjas of the Iwagakure are cunning and cautious, the Iwagakure is in the Land of Grass. The base is impregnable, and there are many Iwagakure ninjas, so you must be careful."

Chiyu replied carefully:"Don't worry, Lord Sakumo, I will not put myself and Kakashi in danger."

Hatake Sakumo nodded:"Then I will issue you and Kakashi a long-term mission. There are many hidden bases in the Iwagakure Village in the Grass Country. These hidden bases are very threatening to future battles.

Because as long as these hidden bases are there, the support of the Iwagakure ninjas will always be one step faster than us.

So you and Kakashi will investigate the hidden bases of the Iwagakure ninjas in the Grass Country and report to me.

It's up to you to decide when to set out on the mission."

Chiyu bowed and said:"Yes, thank you Lord Sakumo!" Chiyu and Kakashi left Hatake Sakumo's room.

Kakashi still remembered what Chiyu said before, that when he arrived in the Grass Country, he would teach him the magical full concentration breathing.

So Kakashi anxiously asked Chiyu to teach him the breathing method.

Qianyu looked at Kakashi who was eager, and a subtle smile appeared on his face:"Kakashi, your mask should be quite breathable, right?"

Kakashi was a little puzzled why Qianyu asked this, and replied:"It is quite breathable."

Half an hour later

"Teacher Qianyu, I can’t breathe anymore!"

Qianyu stuffed several layers of cloth into Kakashi’s mask, and the breathability was terrible.

Now Kakashi had a hard time just breathing normally, as if someone was strangling his neck.

Qianyu smiled a little viciously:"Can’t you bear it? Then you will have a hard time. From now on, you have to wear this mask all the time. You can’t take it off without my request."

Kakashi was confused:"Ah? Do you have to wear it when you sleep?"

Qianyu explained to Kakashi:"Of course, didn’t I introduce the breathing method to you before? You need to let your blood absorb a lot of oxygen in a short period of time to improve your body functions.

With your current level, you are still a long way from absorbing oxygen that can improve your body functions, so the first step is to exercise your cardiopulmonary strength.

But you still have time to rest...."

Kakashi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chiyu expectantly.

Chiyu smiled and said,"You can still take it off for a while when you eat and drink."

Kakashi was immediately discouraged:"What? What kind of rest time is this?"

Chiyu rubbed Kakashi's head:"Okay, let you adapt today, and start the reconnaissance mission tomorrow. Don't think that you will take off the mask when I'm not around. If I find out, you'll be in trouble."

Kakashi listened to Chiyu's words and couldn't help shuddering.

Kakashi immediately assured:"Teacher Chiyu, don't worry, I will never take it off!"

"Okay, then do what you should do."

Qianyu turned and left. A ninja found Qianyu. It was sent by Hatake Sakumo to arrange a room for him.

After the ninja took Qianyu to a room, Qianyu asked:"Excuse me, do you have a map of the Land of Grass?"

"Yes, here you go."

The ninja took out a map of the Land of Grass from his tool bag and handed it to Chiyu.

"Thank you."

Qianyu took the map, turned and entered the room, and closed the door.

The ninja stood at the door of Qianyu's room, his mouth slightly open, his mind a little messy.

What's going on!

He didn't say that he would give the map to Qianyu, he just let him see it.

Did he consider his feelings when taking his map like this?!

The ninja left depressed, and he was embarrassed to ask Qianyu to take the map back.

It's just a map, just go and get another one.

Qianyu returned to the room and carefully examined the map of the Land of Grass.

According to Qianyu's previous guess, Karin's mother has not joined the Grass Village yet, but should live somewhere in the Land of Grass.

The Land of Grass is very small, but it is still difficult to find someone in the Land of Grass.

But if you exclude some places, you can narrow down a large part of the range.

The first is naturally The first place to be ruled out is naturally the Kusagakure Village.

Then the bases of Konoha and Iwagakure will be ruled out, so the scope will be much smaller.

However, Chiyu is not sure whether Karin's mother is living in seclusion or with other people, so it is a big project to find Karin's mother next.

Chiyu began to mark on the map and crossed out some places that are unlikely to be there.

The next day.

After Chiyu finished washing up, he was ready to leave with Kakashi to carry out the mission while looking for Karin's mother.

As soon as he opened the door, Chiyu looked at the ground and his eyes froze.

I saw Kakashi lying on the ground, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and his skin was very pale.

It was caused by lack of oxygen.

Kakashi said weakly:"Teacher Chiyu, I feel dizzy now, I have no strength in my body, I can't breathe, can I take it off for a while?"

Chiyu squatted in front of Kakashi and said the coldest words in the gentlest tone:"No, you have to overcome your current state, instead of waiting for it to overcome you, so, without discussion, I will go to carry out the mission immediately, stand up and follow me."

Kakashi rolled his eyes and kept muttering in his heart that Chiba was a devil. He was already in such a state, didn't he have any compassion at all?
