In the hazy night, Mizuki felt a figure approaching. The direction is the way you came.

"It's so late..."

Mizuki has long experienced how boring the practice of chakra control and perception is. Especially the perception of natural energy, which requires a good environment to practice. Avoiding people's eyes is not because you can't practice when you are together, but because there is too much movement. For Neji Hyuga and Aoba Yamashiro, it is not difficult to sense Mizuki's movements, and the oil girl Shino's bad insects are also extremely sensitive to Chakra's movements. When I came to this wilderness, I was first to set up traps, and secondly, Shuimu took all the time and tried his best to perceive natural energy. In such a quiet environment in the wild, when no one is disturbing, the cultivation effect of Shuimu feels really good.

Seeing someone coming, Shui Mu also realized that it was getting late and it was time to go back. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Yamashiro Aoba to emerge from the darkness.

"Why haven't you gone back for so long?"

"Sorry for worrying you." Mizuki replied, "This place feels very comfortable, and I have been sitting for so long without knowing it..."

"As the captain, you just leave your subordinates behind and come here to admire the moon?" Yamashiro Aoba laughed and joked: "Even if you become a Joinin, you haven't changed much..."

"Is this bad?" Shuimu also knew that Shancheng Qingye didn't blame himself, it was just a joke between acquaintances.

"It's alright. I know your style of behavior. Those two people don't know, they thought something happened to you, and they didn't have a good rest."

"S-level mission, can you be nervous?"

"It's like wearing a forehead guard to become a ninja for the first time. I'm a little nervous." Yamashiro Aoba also came over, sitting side by side with Mizuki on the tree trunk to admire the moon, "By the way, Mizuki, do you still remember your first A sub-S-rank mission?"

"It's been a long time, I can't remember."

"I don't remember either, so we are considered ninjas who have fought for the rest of their lives. I don't know if we can do it right from the beginning..."

"Looking at you, you don't usually seem like someone who has too many ideas, so you would also consider this?"

"I didn't want to, but I started thinking about it recently." Shancheng Qingye said calmly.

Indeed, too many people have died recently, both familiar and unfamiliar, and have all lost their lives in more than a month.

"I understand, you are so sentimental today, are you forbearing for those two? Are you worried that they are too nervous? Or can't stand the pressure?"

"All right, those two are rare talents. The village has lost so much, it's time to replenish new blood. They can't be allowed to die in vain in such a place..."

"You, you still don't trust my new captain..." Mizuki broke it a lot.

"I can't believe it, but I think the village's decision is a little too hasty." Yamashiro Aoba turned around and said a little embarrassedly.

"You're thinking too much, Aoba." In this case, Shuimu had to reveal some specific information to Aoba, Shancheng, to reassure him. It's not a good thing for the biggest helper to be worried.

"To be honest, I personally requested the staffing arrangement this time. The specific list is up to me to make suggestions, and Tsunade-sama finally agreed..."

"It's you? How could it be?" I thought it was the specific arrangement of Hokage, but I didn't expect it to be the result of Mizuki's insistence.

"You are right about one thing, Qingye, they are all rare talents, and they will support the backbone of the village in the future..." Shui Mu did not answer directly, "However, you still greatly underestimated their strength, and now it is A rare helper."

"Do you really think so?" Yamashiro Aoba said suspiciously.

"Of course, although it's hard to find jounin in the village now, but it's not easy to find a few Chunin with little fighting power, but you can still find a few. Why do you think I made the request to have two jinin on secondment? Why did the village agree? What they need is not encouragement and comfort, but our trust!"

"Well..." Shancheng Qingye pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Well, you are right, the flowers in the greenhouse cannot grow into pillars supporting Konoha. Now it is indeed a good exercise. Opportunity. However, the two of us will have to pay more..."

"Don't worry, why do you think the village promoted me as Junin?" Mizuki said confidently, "This time, they will be fine if they are careful..."

A few Jinnin will not be the target of the attack. On the contrary, Mizuki should pay special attention. It is very likely that he who is targeted is far more dangerous than others.

"I have to believe you..." Anyway, under the current situation, it is impossible to give up halfway, and bite the bullet and continue the task.

"Let's go back, it's getting late..." Shuimu looked at a few bad bugs flying not far away, and also felt the feeling of being peeped twice not long ago. Knowing that the oil girl Shino and Hyuga Neji were worried, they came to investigate.

"Yeah." Yamashiro Aoba started to walk back after Mizuki. "It feels like you've become a Joinin, and you can talk more and more..."

"No, you are too weak, you never told me."

...

Early in the morning the next day, the entire team was still slowly advancing according to the planned route. For a team formed by ninjas, it was extremely slow and outrageous, as if they were staring at the dark. The enemy's blatant demonstration: "We are here, come over if you have the guts..."

Such a scene is quite rare in a ninja mission. For a profession developed by secretly acting assassins and assassins and lurkers, stealth and fast maneuvering have become a major label of ninjas, although there is no lack of individual characteristics. Ninjas really do not meet the general mainstream ninja labels, but the development direction of ninjas has never changed. Even after the birth of chakra, the role of ninjas has been greatly improved, gradually moving from behind the scenes to the front, and even after directly replacing the mainstream fighting profession of samurai, its basic style has never changed.

"Shui Mu, does it matter?" Shancheng Qingye was also worried when he saw the chaos of the team, "Are we going to do something?"

"No." Mizuki shook his head, "Let Shino's bugs maintain a certain range of reconnaissance, and don't do anything else."

In fact, Mizuki also expected this situation. In essence, this action is a game in which the three Ninja villages and the "Xiao" organization compete with each other. And each side thinks that the other side is stupider than themselves, so this strange scene occurs.

"In this strange situation caused by the error of information asymmetry, then the only variable is actually oneself..."

The only Shui Mu with an intelligence advantage may be the one who can really dominate the rhythm in this mission, especially when his own hard power has risen to such a level that he can participate in the competition.

Konoha Village believes that he has Uchiha Itachi, information from Jiraiya, and information about two combat contacts. Iwahidemura will think that the enemy's stupid activation should rescue Deidara, so he will do whatever he wants. Shayin Village is even more foolish to take chestnuts out of the fire to gain benefits.

The "Xiao" organization is more confident in its intelligence capabilities. There are all-pervasive and pervasive, and there are countless external organizations and internal response that have developed over many years. And it is very likely that the Red Sand Scorpion will be involved in Yura, who is mixed into the action team. None of these people think that they will fall into the enemy's trap, but will only use the information at hand to plan their actions.

The consequences of the three major Ninja villages and the "Xiao" organization thinking that they have an intelligence advantage have been clearly reflected. Then the encounter that was originally expected to be very likely will become an accident that will definitely happen. A fierce battle is inevitable.

Although I was a little puzzled about Mizuki's arrangement, Yamashiro Aoba still arranged two genin tasks according to Mizuki's request.

"Is the situation serious? Shuimu?" Yamashiro Aoba asked in a low voice.

"Get ready." Shuimu nodded calmly, "I don't know when I'll be back, but it will definitely come, and it won't be too far away."

According to this situation, as long as the other party finds out the specific information here, they will definitely do it. I just don't know how many people there will be and who will come.

...

In this dawdling atmosphere, the team walked for two days, but the distance traveled was not much more than the distance that the team led by Hyuga Hizu last time. Mizuki even was in the mood to see the place that was razed to the ground by the sky star at that time. You can clearly feel that the soil layer under the ground is quite soft, and you can clearly see the broken pieces of some puppet-like things. Even if the ground has grown a layer of vegetation in the past few days, it has not been completely covered up.

"This is where you fought at that time? This kind of trace is too scary, how did you escape at that time?" Such a scene made Yamashiro Aoba to the Hinata Hizu and his party who were able to escape without harming one person. Also surprised.

"It's a long story, but you just need to know that we may encounter opponents of this level."

"That's really killing people." Shancheng Qingye smiled bitterly: According to what you said, such people may not be the same, how can we beat them? "

"What are you anxious about? This time, we have allies. Also, you have to have confidence in me. I am a winner in life who is about to get a promotion, a raise and a wife. I will never die in such a ghost place. of."

"Shui Mu, you don't have to show off your fiancée all the time, we all know that"

"I'm reminding you." Shuimu glanced at Shancheng Qingye and said, "This time, I'll go back and treat the guests quickly. I've even contacted the guests here. Also, you have to start preparing the gifts."

Taking advantage of the leisure time, Mizuki and Yamashiro Aoba were talking and laughing. Suddenly, from a distance, I saw Maki bringing Yura, and Chi Tu also bringing Kuro soil over, as if there was something to discuss.

After a few people walked in, Shui Mu clearly looked at the few people with a look of hesitation on their faces.

"A few, do you have anything to do with me?" Shuimu asked first.

"Regarding this action, we want to quit the joint team and take the lead in returning to Sandyin Village." Maki said seriously what surprised Shuimu.

"What's going on?" Mizuki asked.

"We think that this place is not very far from the village. If you go all out, you will be able to go home in less than a day, so there is no need for such a slow action." Yura Kamino replied.

"This is currently the consensus of Sand Ninja." Maki also nodded in confirmation.

"You guys wanted to join in at the beginning, but now you don't give any explanation, so you just quit? Are all such rude people in Shayin Village?" Impermanence, directly sneered.

"Things change, we don't need to be so rigid, and ninjas are not something that stays the same. Besides, isn't it a good thing for you? You can get to Yanyin Village quickly, and you don't have to take a detour."

Mizuki took a deep look at Yura, who seemed to be serious, and was full of anger in his heart. It is very likely that this guy passed some false information, which made Maki make a very wrong judgment.

Then, Mizuki said sternly: "Maki Joinin, I don't know the reason for Guicun's sudden withdrawal, and I don't want to know. These are all irrelevant things. I just want to ask. Sand Yin Has the village found something more valuable than being an ally of Konoha?"

Mizuki's words were no longer negotiating, but a naked threat. The situation was pressing, and Mizuki couldn't figure out what the scorpion of the red sand ordered Yura to do in it. In this case, the possibility of persuasion and persuasion is very small, and direct threat is more effective. And Mizuki's confidence in doing this is that compared to Konoha's need for the ally of Sandyin Village to temporarily take a breath, Sandyin Village needs a layer of tiger skin of Konoha's ally to bluff, and really hate Konoha, the first The one who attacked Shayin Village is definitely Yanyin Village, which is staring at the side.

"Mizuki Joinin, what do you mean by that?" Hearing Mizuki's words, Maki frowned and asked.

"Like the literal meaning, Maki Jonin, please think about what I said."

"I want to confirm again, what you said just now, can it represent Konoha, and the five generations of Hokage?"

"For this mission, I think Sandyin Village will not know anything about the inside story. At this time, for whatever reason, I think Konoha will only make the same voice as me." Mizuki is very fortunate that Mu Ye Cun is also the nominal overlord of the ninja world, and he is also a jounin who speaks with considerable weight, and is no longer a dispensable character chunin. In this case, what he said on behalf of Konoha, Even if there is a deviation in the end, as long as the general direction is good, the village will definitely endorse what it says.

"If that's the case, let's think about it again." After speaking, Maki led Yura away with a gloomier expression.

Seeing that Maki was gone, Mizuki finally breathed a sigh of relief, considering that it was just a polite word in face, but in fact it was a concession. If the three Shangnin of Sandyin Village, especially the most powerful Maki, leave, it will be a huge loss.

"So, let's go first, Mizuki Jōnin, or Konoha's words will work." The sturdy Chitu said very politely.

Watching the two teams leave one after another, Shancheng Qingye said with a sigh of relief: "The talk almost collapsed just now, Shuimu, you are so courageous."

"It's unreasonable to talk to these stubborn Sand Ninjas, you can only do this." Mizuki continued, "You pay attention to that Yura, if he has any special actions, let me know immediately."
