The team composed of Konoha Jōnin planned to clean up the underground organization of the ninja world. It is indeed a bit of a fuss, but the purpose of doing so is obviously to prevent accidents, and it is not unreasonable.

Of course, this is also an action to harvest money and resources. The territory under the sun has been carved up cleanly, and there are only these fringe forces struggling in the dark corners. This mission is to limit the enemy's war potential.

Most of the people on the bounty order are not good things, but most of the bounty hunters are not good people. Many people have several identities. They are not only hunters who harvest other people's heads, but they are also clearly marked and become the target of others.

For Kakashi and Mizuki, this kind of danger is not very big, but it is a bit troublesome task still needs to be cautious.

The ninja world is a martial world with a profound tradition of revenge, and the reckless use of force will always attract hatred. Although most of the villains in these dark corners are still alive, if there is a fish that slips through the net, it is also extremely troublesome. Leaving too many seeds of hatred, no one knows whether one will grow and germinate and become a future confidant.

Ninjas also don't always make the right choice between life and death. Accidental injuries also occur occasionally. Decades ago, Konoha Ninja's actions in the Land of Rain killed Nagato's parents because of a misunderstanding, touching the taboo that ninja fighting does not involve ordinary people.

This series of operations, led by Hatake Kakashi, led the backbone of the garrison to take turns to attack, each time it took several days to clear out the dangerous people in an area with thunder.

This time, it was Mizuki and Hyuga Fire Gate's turn to follow Kakashi to the border area of ​​the Fire Country and the River Country. This kind of place where multiple forces meet, it is easy to breed bandit organizations and some sects with strange beliefs; there are also bounty hunters mixed in; major forces are also working in it.

Even if these filthy places are wiped out, they will re-emerge in another place in a few years.

However, Konoha's purpose is to be stable during this period of time. As long as there are no mistakes in this sensitive period, it is best to eliminate all hidden dangers.

On the nights between missions, the three Jonin were chatting by the light of the fire in the deserted countryside.

With the eyes of Hyuga Firemen, the task is fairly easy, and basically no fish slips through the net, so the three of them seem to be relatively relaxed.

"Is the reconnaissance trap ready?"

"finished!"

Mizuki nodded, indicating not to worry.

"It's really good to have a companion who is good at sealing and spirit formation, and it's easier to sleep at night!"

Hyuga Hiromon is about the same age as Mizuki and Kakashi, and several people of the same age speak more casually.

Mizuki smiled reservedly,

"It looks like it'll be finished in two days. It's a hot day, and it's still comfortable at home!"

Although there were a lot of times when I was away from work in the past, it was not like this, and I especially missed the feeling of being at home.

"The bond has deepened! 』

There are more people to worry about at home, and there are naturally more things to worry about.

As the captain, Kakashi also started to become lazy at this time, and took out the dry food with him and began to replenish energy.

"This time, it's not just our Konoha Village that seems to be making big moves. It should be the actions of the "Xiao" organization that made everyone feel threatened, so this counterattack was brewed. I'm always passive. It is also unacceptable to be attacked."

The existence of hostile forces has been noticed by many upper-level ninjas, but the lair where the leader of the "Xiao" organization is located is the Land of Rain, which is still a secret. By the time this is revealed, it will be almost time for a full-scale war.

"Kakashi, honestly, how to do it, Tsunade-sama is more thoughtful than us. For the time being, we only need to think about completing the task."

"You are still so slack, Tsunade-sama is right, if you don't put some pressure on you, you probably don't want to do more."

"I don't dare to accept this evaluation. Everyone knows that I may be a model ninja who works hard and bears no complaints. My child has just turned a month, and I will accompany you to feed mosquitoes in such a ghost place!"

When Mizuki made fun of it at will, the slightly serious Hyuga Fire Gate also laughed.

"It's always easier to live at home, but to complete the task is to stay at home comfortably, that's why we are here to eat and sleep!"

In fact, Shuimu can use the Flying Thunder God technique to go home and have a good rest, and then come back in the morning, but in this case, the seriousness of the mission will be completely ruined.

"It's better to end it early. Although it's a mission, but even if they all deserve to die, they still feel a little unhappy!"

"Kakashi, you are not used to killing when you were promoted to Jōnin at the age of twelve?"

"This has nothing to do with age or experience. No one will kill people for granted. Indulging in it is not what a normal person should think."

"I didn't expect you to have such an idea. It's no wonder that you, who worked so well in Anbu, will eventually be transferred to be a teacher by the third generation."

Not everyone is suitable for Anbu's work, and Kakashi's mentality is indeed not suitable for continuing to perform tasks in Anbu.

"No matter what kind of creature, cannibalism is a cruel thing. If it's unnecessary, there are very few such behaviors, especially people. When they are indifferent to killing the same kind, humanity will gradually drift away!"

Before Shuimu crossed, he would definitely not have the guts to kill people, but under the pressure of the reality of the ninja world, he had to wave his weapons and fight for himself and his family. Now that I think about it, people who died directly or indirectly in their hands There are already quite a few. Gradually, the Mizuki who was forced by the world has disappeared, replaced by a veteran ninja who has experienced many battles and has a strong mind.

"The environment will indeed change everyone, and those who can't adapt are already dead! 』

Sometimes this topic is also heavily discussed among adult ninjas.

"I almost forgot, you are already the father of a child. Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, all the students have grown up!"

"Maybe it will surpass you soon!"

"That's really looking forward to..."

There will be a massacre tomorrow, and one by one will be killed by one's own hands. This feeling is really disturbing, which is completely different from the feeling of happiness after winning a battle with a strong enemy.

This is the prelude to the war. Killing is not meaningless, but it is also difficult to name justice. In a chaotic world, no ninja can escape. Either the hands are stained with blood, or they become the souls of others...
