Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Here, according to Chiba-sama's intention, it should be gradually inward from the edge, and all the lodging positions of the trees must be outward, so as to facilitate subsequent felling."

With one foot in the mud, there was a slap. Among the three students, the most mature one looked at the primitive giant tree in front of him, which was as thick as three or five people hugging each other, and looked at the two behind him, and said.

"Um."

Behind him is a pair of twins, and they are the only students in their team who meet Chiba-sama's requirements for chakra attributes. Among them, the elder brother is a rare wind attribute, and the younger brother is an earth attribute.

"Then, according to the plan, first of all, we will cut a cut beyond the radius of the tree in the outer direction, and then completely cut off the tree at the front, which is the position we are facing now. The cutting part is higher than the following cutting part."

Hearing the words of the two people behind, the student who walked in the front and touched the giant tree spoke again.

fine!

I was in a group with these two brothers.

Otherwise, I really don't know how to form a team with other people.

But in his heart, at this time, he was somewhat rejoiced.

Because the three of them live close together, they can be regarded as close friends who grew up wearing a pair of trousers. They have been with each other for a long time and have a good understanding. Moreover, this former student has a somewhat withdrawn personality. Except for the twin brothers, he has no Any friend doesn't know how to interact with others.

If they are really in a group with others, I am afraid that this matter is really difficult to handle.

After all, although they haven't graduated yet, they are approaching graduation at this age. Basically, they only need a forehead protection ceremony to become genin. They already have everything needed for genin, so to speak, except for a name. , They are ninjas of the lower ninja level.

And the students of their class happened to be enrolled at the beginning of the war, so some knowledge and skills that are generally taught in peacetime until they become ninjas will be taught to them in advance to avoid unexpected needs.

After all, the war period is the most sensitive period, and the whole village will make some preparations from top to bottom that it would not do in peacetime.

At this time, although the three of them have not become ninja and have no experience in missions, they have already gained a considerable understanding of some cooperation such as cooperative operations and some basic coordination tactics through theory and pair training.

This is also the reason why Hirohiko was relieved that they would act in groups of three, but he himself did not participate.

Graduates of the war class, from graduation, have the conditions to devote themselves to combat.

Of course, if it's really a war mission, it still needs to be carried by a jonin or a chuunin, but it doesn't need to be run-in with those small missions.

Therefore, the three of them can be said to form a group of their own, and the task of cutting down trees is also something that the three of them are capable of doing.

And there are defense forces patrolling around now, so there is no need to worry too much about safety issues. This tree-cutting task is almost a D-level task.

"Huh? What's wrong with you two?"

And the student at the front finished speaking, did not hear the response from his best friend behind, and turned his head rather strangely.

"Yamashita, tell me, is our captain reliable?"

Seeing their best friend turn their heads to ask questions, the twin brothers looked at each other, and the elder brother spoke with some worry.

The twin younger brother nodded repeatedly, approving of his older brother.

"Captain Hirohiko?"

But when he heard the words of his best friend, the boy called Yamashita was slightly taken aback, obviously he didn't expect his best friend to ask such a question.

"Yes, I heard that our captain is a prisoner, and the cell in the camp is for him."

Regarding this, the twin brother said seriously.

"Yes, my brother is right."

After saying this, the twin brothers nodded quickly, expressing their agreement with their elder brother.

"So what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Yamashita blinked his eyes, a little confused.

This rumor... is no longer a rumor. Many people have seen Senior Kakashi send their captain back to the cell several times. It is not a secret at all.

"It is rumored that our captain once went berserk and killed several of his own clan before he was convicted. Aren't you afraid?"

Regarding this, the twin brother's face was even more worried.

"Yes, yes, aren't you afraid?"

The twin brother agreed with his brother, and said emphatically.

"Uh...what's there to be afraid of?"

Yamashita blinked again, but he wasn't afraid at all.

"Aren't you afraid that our captain will suddenly go mad again?"

Hearing this, the twin brother frowned obviously, and in addition to being serious, there was already some complaining tone of "Why don't you understand my worry?" in his tone.

"that is!"

The twin brothers looked at their elder brother, then at the foot of the mountain, and hurriedly followed.

"Afraid!"

Yamashita replied truthfully.

"and you……"

Regarding this, the twin brother was slightly taken aback, with a puzzled look on his face. However, Yamashita has always been the most mature and powerful character among the three of them, and he has basically been the "captain" of the three of them since he was a child. He was a little confused when Yamashita said frankly that he was afraid.

What the hell is this mountain thinking?

"Why?"

At this time, the younger brother of the twins also blurted out his own doubts, which actually completed his elder brother's words.

"Because, I believe in Master Chiba. Since the hero who saved Konoha trusts Captain Hirohiko, why do we have any reason to doubt Captain Hirohiko? Moreover, Captain Hirohiko's strength is unquestionable. He can kill several Uchiha clans." Elite, I think, is not much worse than Kakashi-senpai and Chiba-sama. Such a captain, isn’t it good?”

In this regard, looking at the puzzled look of his best friend, Yamashita smiled and said.

Believe... Chiba-sama?

Upon hearing this sentence, the twin brothers were slightly taken aback, and then looked at each other.

"You mean?"

Then, after looking at each other, the twin brothers suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if they understood what their best friend meant.

"Such a good captain, we can't let it go."

To this, Yamashita smiled again.

So it is!

Aren't we here to improve our strength?

Such a good captain, how could he miss it and not take advantage of it!

Not only do we not have to be afraid, but we also need to be more open-minded and ask for advice!

And at this moment, such a thought flashed through the minds of the twin brothers at the same time.

"I see."

Then, the two nodded heavily.

"First of all, let's do the work!"

In this regard, Yamashita took a step forward, patted the shoulders of the two brothers, and grinned, revealing a sunny smile.

"ah!"

The two brothers also nodded heavily at this time.

"So……"

Seeing that the two agreed, Yamashita also turned around, and pulled out the thick-backed ninja sword equipped with the mission team for cutting at all times.

"Wait... wait a minute."

Suddenly, the twin's elder brother stopped him.

"What's wrong?"

He turned his head slightly in astonishment.

"Uh...how did you say it before, can you say it again?"

Seeing Yamashita turning his head, the twin brother scratched his cheek and asked weakly.

"I said...you..."

For this, Yamashita looked helpless.

"please!"

Seeing Yamashita like this, the two bowed down as soon as they bowed down.

"I really can't do anything about you!"

Help the forehead at the foot of the mountain.

Then, they looked at each other and smiled, all three of them laughed, and the warm friendship spread instantly.

...

So, let’s start with these three!

But amidst the laughter and friendship, the three children did not notice that a pair of bright red eyes slowly opened on the branch they were about to cut down.
