Naruto and Shadow

Tap tap tap.

The group of four finally crossed the forest, facing an endless lake.

However, this calm lake is no different from peace to ninjas.

As a result, the three people except Hino Hikaru stepped onto the lake as a matter of course and planned to continue on their way. but……

“……”

Hino Hikari did not step onto the lake.

Because he felt that his chakra was not enough to cross this large lake.

What if he suddenly sank and muttered while walking…

Wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

I feel embarrassed just thinking about it

“What’s wrong?”

After seeing that Hino Hikari had been staying on the shore and not following him, the other three people quickly stopped.

“Did you find anything?”

Xihi Zhenhong looked around cautiously.

“no i……”

However, when Hino Hikaru suddenly thought, ‘As long as you don’t embarrass yourself, others will be embarrassed,’ and decided to break the jar and go swimming in the lake.——

“There is someone in front, that direction.”

Aburame Zhiwei suddenly looked at a small insect flying from his hand and moved his mouth.

Everyone quickly followed his gaze and looked over.

“It’s a pity that I can’t see anything. It would be nice if someone from the Hyuga family was here.”

Because the water vapor evaporating from the lake surface turned the surrounding area in the distance into mist, Nara Shikaku couldn’t help but complain.

“Do you want to go and take a look, or should you ignore it?”

Aburame Zhiwei let go of the little bug on her hand again, and then asked the leader Yuhi Zhenhong

“Go over and take a look. Although this is the border between the Rain Country and the Fire Country, there is no guarantee that there are no people from Yunyin Village.”

Yuhi Mahong thought about it for a while and then made a decision.

“However, try not to reveal our position in front of the other party”

“clear”

“Hino, your perception is very strong. I will ask you and Zhiwei to give us early warning in the future.”

No wonder Lord Hokage specially placed him in their jounin team. It’s not without reason.

Looking at the foggy distance, listening to Aburame Shiwei’s affirmation, Yuhi Zhenhong began to have doubts about Hino’s light perception ability. Thinking for a while

“not me……”

It’s not like he stopped because he sensed someone.

Are you kidding? Although his perception ability is not weak, how can he perceive it so far away?

It can only be said that coincidence will always give rise to many beautiful misunderstandings.

“how?”

Nara Shikaku saw that Hino Hikaru still couldn’t move his feet to step onto the lake.

“You mean it’s not easy to hide when moving together, so you plan to walk separately from the shore?”

“Ah…yes, let me go around from the shore.”

If there is a chance to avoid going into the water, Hino Hikaru still wants to avoid it.

But, why do these people like to think about him?

He is just an ordinary, even a flawed ninja. How can he have such high perception and so many ideas? ?

“That makes sense. Then Lujiu, you and Hino walk ashore, and Zhiwei and I go directly from the lake.”

“yes”

“In order to avoid getting lost, let’s hold my female insect first.”

Aburame Shimi thought for a moment and took out a bug from her sleeve and handed it to Hino Hikaru.

“……”

But Hino Hikaru didn’t answer

“It is only used for positioning and has no other function.”

Younv Zhiwei quickly explained

“I don’t really like bugs.”

Even if Aburame Shiwei poses no danger to herself, Hino Hikaru doesn’t like being targeted by bugs all the time.

“Just put it on me, let’s go.”

Seeing that Hino Hikari was still wary of Aburame Shimi, Nara Shikaku took the initiative to take the insect that Aburame Shimi handed over.

“Um.”

Hearing Hino Hikaru say that he doesn’t like bugs, Aburame Shiwei was slightly disappointed.

——

“You don’t have to be so defensive about Zhiwei and Longma. In fact, he has always been apologetic towards you. It’s not the hatred or hostility towards you that you thought.”

After the troops were divided into two groups, Nara Shikaku looked at Hino Hikaru who was acting with him, and thought that it would be better to speak more clearly.

“No, I simply don’t like bugs, and… I don’t really like the over-enthusiastic behavior of my companions on the mission.”

Hino Hikaru looked ahead calmly.

“Yeah……”

A companion who doesn’t like the mission is too enthusiastic?

A solitary person?

But he doesn’t look much like him. Is it because of the”trauma” he suffered when he left the village for the first time?

Well, it makes more sense to think about it this way.

Nara Shikakuyu has read the information of Hino Hikari

“……”

Seeing the way Nara Shikaku looked at him, how could Hino Hikaru not understand what the other party was thinking.

They say smart people are good at brainstorming, but I didn’t expect this to be true……

——

“He is a ninja from Hidden Rain Village.”

There were no accidents along the way. Hino Hikari and others who took the land route and Yuhi Mahong and others who took the water route completed the rendezvous in the woods on the shore.

“Three ninjas, two of whom looked like they had lost their fighting power and were seriously injured.……”

Aburame Zhiwei judged the situation in front of her

“Could it be a trap?”

Nara Shikaku is still observing the surroundings.

“You mean they’ve discovered us?”

“I don’t see it.”

Yuhi Zhenhong also made her own judgment, and then set her sights on Hino Hikaru.

“What do you think?”

“I…I think they didn’t notice us.”

Hikaru Hino is actually much more surprised at this moment than the other three.

Because the three ninjas wearing Amegakure forehead protectors hiding in the woods not far away are actually…

If I guessed correctly, The one with a lot of iron rods rubbed on his back should be Nagato, and the one lying on the ground with a black face seems to be Yahiko. As for the blue-haired female ninja who is taking care of the two injured male companions, if nothing else, he should be the one from before. Konan whom I met at the root of Danzo.

Is this too much of a coincidence?

I just walked to the Land of Rain and met these three people?

Moreover, being able to see Yahiko here… Sure enough, the plot of the original work has already been Offset?

“Since they haven’t been discovered, there are only two options. One is to leave as if they didn’t see them, and the other is to kill them all.”

Hikaru Hino is talking about the way he encounters ninjas from other villages when performing missions.

The former way is more normal.���One is based on judgment of strength, a method of weakening the strength of other villages, which is not uncommon in the ninja world.

The first mission in which Hino Hikaru was eliminated by the group was because he was discovered by the passing ninja of Kumogakure Village, and then the other party chose the second approach.

Who knows whether the ninjas from other villages you meet now will grow up to become your opponents in the future?

As long as you are sure, cutting off the roots is the only way to go

“The Amegakure Village has a good relationship with us Konoha recently, why don’t you go and help them?”

But Aburame Zhiwei came up with a third plan.

“But we don’t have medical ninjas.”

Nara Shikaku prefers the first option. Just pretend you didn’t see it. They are busy with their tasks and have no time to care about the lives and deaths of others.

If you encounter someone with malicious intentions, if you save them, they will in turn harm them. You.

It would be easier to die without saving someone.

“Then leave them alone……”

Yuhi Zhenhong also feels that it is better to do less than to do more.

But just when he was about to announce that he was leaving here and moving on——

“Who is there?”

The blue-haired female ninja suddenly shot a kunai towards where they were hiding.

“Found!”

If they are not discovered, the group of people can naturally leave at will, but once they are discovered, they can no longer turn a blind eye.

This is also the rule when ninjas from different ninja villages perform tasks outside.

Because the other party is likely to obtain information from your whereabouts When it comes to your mission information, at this time, even if you want to let the other party go, you must first consider whether the mission you are about to perform will fail due to the other party’s problems.

So after the kunai flew in, the people of Konoha Village The three ninjas had already reacted and formed a triangle to surround the blue-haired female ninja in front of them.

“Konoha’s ninja?”

The blue-haired kunoichi looked at the four ninjas who suddenly walked out of the nearby woods in surprise.

“Who were your two companions injured? Apart from you Rain ninjas, are there any ninjas from other villages nearby?”

Yuhi Mabei looked at the kunoichi in front of her as if she was interrogating a prisoner.

Hino Hikaru, who also appeared in front of the blue-haired kunoichi, was even more confused.

Or more curious.

He clearly did not hide his face. But the”Xiaonan” in front of him actually looked like he didn’t recognize him at all.

This is very interesting.

Although the torch was not very bright that night, it would be wrong if he forgot the face of his”savior” so quickly. It’s so unrealistic.
