Konoha's entry is ninja!

Defining Hide Hoshita as a medical ninja can be regarded as a kind of care and protection for Minato Namikaze.

Hoshita Shuichi knew this very well and immediately expressed his stance: "Then leave everyone's back to me!"

Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo laughed together and said, "We will also protect Shuichi."

Namikaze Minato secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. The atmosphere was unexpectedly good.

In view of the special nature of this newly formed team, Namikaze Minato did not arrange to grab the bell to test the team members' teamwork, but directly announced the mission: "I took on a mission when I went to meet the Third Hokage just now. A psychic beast is suspected to have appeared in the Forest of Death. Our mission is to investigate this matter clearly. If there is a psychic beast, we need to track this possible psychic beast and capture him intact according to the situation."

Uchiha Shisui took the initiative and asked: "Teacher Minato, is there any more information about psychic beasts?"

Namikaze Minato shook his head and said, "No."

"It's because the beasts in the Death Forest are in turmoil, so we speculate that there are psychic beasts."

"Any question?"

Hoshita Shuichi and the other three shook their heads in unison.

"Set off!"

Namikaze Minato gave the order and set off first, Hoshige Shuichi and the others followed immediately.

For Hoshita Shuichi, the first day after graduation was obviously beyond his expectations.

There was no grabbing the bell, just going straight to the intensity.

If there are psychic beasts, then this mission can be C-level?

After all, psychic beasts are no less dangerous than ninjas.

All the way away from the core area of ​​Konoha Village, the group arrived at the entrance of the Death Forest in less than a quarter of an hour.

"There are many wild beasts and poisonous insects in the Death Forest, so be careful."

Namikaze Minato gave instructions before leading Hoshita Shuichi and the others in.

The ancient trees support the sky, and the human body looks very small among them.

The four people walked through it, stopping from time to time to analyze the traces left by some animals.

The main ones who spoke were Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Shisui, and Kurama Sanyo, while Hoshita Shuichi was among the students listening to the class.

And the three Minato people obviously wanted to take care of him.

In this regard, Shuichi Hoshita humbly asked for advice, eagerly absorbing nutrients from the three of them, and gradually transformed the theoretical knowledge he learned from the Ninja School into practical application experience.

And from the tracking along the way, he could also see that, not to mention Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Shisui was obviously more accomplished in tracking traces than Kurama Sanyo.

Of course, Kurama Sanyo, who comes from a famous illusion family, is also good.

People who are good at illusions tend to pay great attention to details.

An hour later, four figures landed on a thick branch one after another.

Uchiha Shisui said: "Minato-sensei, he should be here."

Anma Shanyang smiled and said: "The activity traces of the surrounding beasts have significantly decreased, and there are signs of migrating to the surrounding areas. I am afraid that this place has been occupied and has become the territory of psychic beasts."

Beasts are territorial, especially powerful beasts.

And psychic beasts are no exception.

Namikaze Minato said: "Based on the traces, this psychic beast should be a wild cat, and its advantage should be speed, so everyone must be alert."

Hoshita Shuichi and the other three nodded in unison: "Yes, Minato-sensei."

Namikaze Minato made a gesture, and the four people immediately moved forward, and formed a semicircle to surround them and move forward.

Suddenly, Uchiha Shisui made a gesture, Hoshita Shuichi and the others immediately stopped and looked in the direction of Uchiha Shisui's finger.

On a branch, under the sunlight filtering through the fallen leaves, a black cat was lying lazily, its tail sweeping around.

Namikaze Minato immediately made a gesture.

outflank!

In addition to Uchiha Shisui, Hoshita Shuichi and the others immediately took action to outflank the black cat.

However, the black cat was very alert and noticed something before the outflanking was completed. He stood up, then with a meow, he jumped up, in the direction of the gap in the circle surrounded by Hoshixia Shuichi and others.

"Stop it!"

Namikaze Minato shouted.

Now that it has been exposed, there is no need to be cautious anymore.

In an instant, chakra erupted under the feet of Hoshita Shuichi and others, and they each used the teleportation technique to attack the black cat.

But the black cat's speed is also surprisingly fast. At least Hoshita Shuichi feels that his speed is not as good as this black cat, especially in this environment.

However, the speed of Namikaze Minato and the others was even faster.

Whoosh!

The kunai flew and hit the branch in front of the black cat aggressively.

It was a kunai thrown by Namikaze Minato.

The black cat was frightened and immediately changed direction.

And then Hoshita Shuichi saw that the black cat that had just landed on the branch changed direction and rushed straight towards Uchiha Shisui.

"It's an illusion!"

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Kurama Sanyo who just put down his hand.

And then he saw Uchiha Shisui and Black Cat looking at each other in the air. The next moment, Black Cat fell down and was caught by Uchiha Shisui.

Sharingan hypnosis!

sharp.

So is Anma Shanyang using the wrong technique?

Hoshita Shuichi secretly guessed.

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "The cooperation is very good."

"Then the mission has been successfully completed. Let's go back."

A group of four people left the Death Forest without any sloppiness at all.

However, Hoshita Shuichi found that there was another entry leaf in the entry tree in his mind.

【Tracking Expert】

Obtain conditions: Track the enemy's traces at least five times in the mission.

Effect: Tracking talent is increased by 100%, trace sensitivity is increased by 100%.

Another expert entry, Hoshita Shuichi was a little numb.

However, the difficulty of looking at the conditions is not high, because the task just now has been counted as a qualified task by the entry tree.

In other words, he does not need to track the enemy alone to succeed.

Looking at the Namikaze Minato trio in front of him, Hoshita Shuichi felt that [Tracking Expert] might be the easiest and fastest expert entry for him to obtain.

Smiling secretly, Hoshita Shuichi caught up with Kurama Sanyo in front of him, walked side by side with him, and asked him for knowledge on illusions.

Of course, he was limited to asking for some theoretical advice and did not involve specific ninjutsu.

Anma Shanyang was not stingy about this and answered all questions.

Back at the Hokage Building, Minato Namikaze handed over the task, received the commission and distributed it. Shuichi Hoshita immediately received 6,000 ryo.

"That's it for the morning. Now, I'll treat everyone to a barbecue at noon."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Namikaze Minato smiled.

Hoshita Shuichi and the other three immediately thanked each other and then walked to the barbecue restaurant.

On the way, Minato Namikaze asked: "Shuichi, what is the direction of your training next?"

"Fire escape?"

Although he had not personally seen Hoshita Shuichi perform the Fire Release Ninjutsu, he had obtained information from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Knowing that Shuichi Hoshita could recover just by watching his classmates perform the Fireball Jutsu, this ninjutsu talent is indeed outstanding.

Fire escape?

Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "Minato-sensei, I have mastered 5 fire escape ninjutsu so far, covering near, medium and long distances."

"For me, more fire release ninjutsu are not necessary because of the chakra limitations."

These words shocked the three of Namikaze Minato.

Kurama Sanyo couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Are all the newcomers so good now?"

It's been more than a year since he graduated, and he hasn't mastered as many illusions as five.

Namikaze Minato nodded and continued: "So, Shuichi, your next focus will be on close combat taijutsu, as well as swordsmanship?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the Tencon Chakra knife on Hoshita Shuichi's lower back.

Hoshita nodded: "Yes, Minato-sensei."

"Limited by chakra, I think most of the time on the battlefield I would rather fight in close combat."

"And physical fitness in all aspects is the foundation of a ninja, so my next training direction is to strengthen physical exercise, physical skills, ninja tools, and sword skills."

Namikaze Minato smiled and praised: "A very wise choice."

And Uchiha Shisui took the initiative to show off to Hoshita: "As for ninja tools and sword skills, Shuichi, if you need anything, don't be polite to me."

Kurama Sanyang also smiled and said: "I am so-so in terms of physical skills, but I think it won't be a big problem as a sparring partner."

Xingxia Xiuyi is very thick-skinned and not polite at all: "Then I will trouble you from now on."
