Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki - Chapter 284
c284 Aroma phosphorus
After Kakashi left the Hokage building, he quickly came to the ANBU building next door. Looking at the ANBU exclusive mission hall with people coming and going, Kakashi kept thinking about the personnel needed for this mission.
The organization of the ANBU team is different from that of the ordinary ninja team. First of all, in terms of number of people, there is no limit to the number of people in the ANBU team. Secondly, the team members are not fixed. Except for the tasks named by the Hokage, the composition of the team members is decided by each squad leader.
Kakashi immediately thought of two candidates. The first was Sky Burial, who was an ANBU directly under the Hokage, and the second was Shisui, who had not been selected by the team leader until now due to his background.
The two of them were quickly called by Kakashi to the locker room of Class 6 ANBU. With the arrival of Shisui and Sky Burial, a beautiful girl with long purple hair also walked into the locker room of Class 6. In the dressing room was none other than Uzuki Yugan, one of the ANBU members.
Tianzhong, Xiyan and Zhishui are all of the same age. Tianzong is 38 years old, Xiyan is 39 years old, and Zhishui is 40 years old. The three of them knew each other, after all, not many people at this age could enter ANBU.
When Kakashi saw that everyone was here, he said, “New mission, go to the Mist Ninja Village in the Country of Water to gather information. I will lead the team, accompanied by Yugao, Tenzo, and Shisui.”
“This mission is relatively far away. We have to go to the Kingdom of Water and may even come into contact with the defense line of the Mist Ninja Village, so it is very dangerous. We must do a good job in the early stage and prepare sufficient supplies. We must prepare enough for at least a month. Rations and ninja tools, do you understand?”
“Understood, Captain.” The three of them responded in unison.
“Okay, gather at the Konoha Gate in an hour, let’s disperse!” Kakashi said and disappeared first, and the other three left the ANBU building without hesitation.
Zhisui clenched his fists on the way back to his tribe, and thought to himself, “It’s great. I just joined ANBU and had to do such an important task. I finally took the first step!” He flew all the way and came soon. When I arrived at my home, I packed my things and prepared to go back again.
“Hey, isn’t that Itachi?” Suddenly, Shisui saw Uchiha Itachi who was practicing kunai in the woods. “Itachi, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be in a ninja school?”
“Zhisui? Why are you here?” Itachi was even more confused than Zhisui.
“Ah, I have a mission that requires me to leave the village, so I came back to pack my things and will set off soon.” Shisui said with a smile.
“That’s it.” Itachi said, five kunai appeared in his hand, and he shot it towards the target in the distance. The moment the kunai was released, he took out five more kunai and shot it, hitting the original kunai. , all ten kunai changed their directions instantly, and simultaneously hit the cores of ten targets located in different directions.
Seeing this, Shisui applauded and praised, “It’s really amazing. Itachi, you have already mastered your shuriken throwing skills to this extent.”
“Ah, I’m still not as good as you.” Itachi said calmly.
“Itachi, you have really become unlovable at all. By the way, are you skipping class?”
“No, I have a shadow clone taking the class for me.”
“It’s not good to keep doing this. If you feel that ninja school is too boring, you can apply for early graduation.”
Itachi glanced at Shisui, then looked at the sky, and murmured softly, “Graduate early?”
“Yes, yes, you go talk to Teacher Shirataki, maybe you can come to the ANBU to accompany me. Let me tell you, my captain is Hatake Kakashi, he is also considered the best among his fellow seniors! “Shisui put his arm around Itachi’s shoulders, as if to show off.
There was a ripple in Itachi’s cold expression. Compared to Anbu and Kakashi, he cared more about Shirataki. To be precise, whether Shirataki would accept Sasuke as his disciple. Itachi had not seen Shirataki since he left the cabin. As his mental age gradually matured, Itachi put all his time and energy into training and taking care of Sasuke.
“Okay, let’s not say more. I’m leaving first. You can consider my suggestions. With your strength, it’s just a waste of time in the ninja school.” After finishing speaking, Shisui left here.
Itachi watched Shisui leave and murmured, “Graduate early?”
Within the Kingdom of Fire, in a forest, two figures were constantly traveling back and forth.
“Asma, the city of Mao is just ahead. We have been traveling all day, so why not rest there.”
“good.”
The two of them were Asuma Sarutobi and Ibiki Morino. As the son of the former captain of the torture force, Shinzo Morino, Ibiki was already a jounin in his own right at this time, and Asma was an elite jounin. He had just returned from a mission in the Country of Grass.
Although Maozhi City is not yet the center of the Fire Country, it is already quite prosperous, with restaurants, hot springs, and casinos all available.
Asuma and Ibiki found a hot spring hotel and checked in directly. The reason why they found a hot spring hotel was naturally to have a good rest. After the mission, soaking in a hot spring is a great enjoyment.
“Ibixi, do you want to go out for a walk later?”
“I’ll forget it. I’m a little tired. I plan to go back to the room and take a nap later.”
“You are so young and have no passion.”
Ibiki said with a dull expression, “Asma, I don’t have as much energy as you.”
“Well, I haven’t had a good tour of this Mao City yet. It would be nice to take a walk.” Ibixi didn’t want to go out, so Asuma naturally wouldn’t force it.
Over the years, Asma would walk around the local area after performing tasks to see the local customs. These experiences can become topics for him to talk to Yuhi Hong when he returns to the village.
Asma walked around the city with nothing to do, and there were thousands of lights, and she didn’t know where the pedestrians on the road would eventually go.
He rubbed his mustache and looked at the deep night sky, “Ah, the moon is so round today.”
At this moment, a small figure ran from a distance, followed by a middle-aged uncle. The middle-aged uncle ran and shouted, “Catch that thief! How dare you steal my bread!”
In chaotic times, there are always many orphans. They may have been abandoned by their parents, or both of their parents have died, but no matter which way it is, when they are the only ones left, tragedy is destined to happen.
In this world of cannibalism, how can it be so easy for orphans to survive? Over the years, Asuma has seen too many orphans die violent deaths. Although it cannot be said to be numb, it can be regarded as normal.
What Asuma can do is give them a full meal when he encounters them. After all, he is just a member struggling in this world of mortals, and cannot be their savior.
Seeing the figure getting closer and closer to her, Asma originally didn’t want to care, but when she saw the blood-red hair, Asma changed her attention.
Red hair symbolizes a powerful clan – the Uzumaki clan! That group of people whose physique is so powerful that it can even delay death. Naturally, Asuma would not sit idly by when meeting his own teacher’s kin.
The girl looked to be only three or four years old. Her clothes were in tatters and her face was dirty. She was holding a piece of bread in her hand and running with all her strength.
However, he was still young and didn’t know how to use chakra. It didn’t take long for him to be gradually overtaken by the middle-aged uncle. At this moment, the little girl slipped and fell directly to the ground.
“Ah!” With a cry of pain, the girl’s knees were smashed by the ground. The middle-aged uncle grabbed the little girl’s clothes and lifted the little girl into the air. “You kid, you come to my shop to steal bread every day. I finally caught him today!”
“I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
“Wrong? Does it work if you say something wrong? Damn you brat!” The middle-aged uncle threw the little girl directly to the ground and raised his fist to hit her.
The little girl closed her eyes in fear and waited for a long time. The expected heavy punch did not fall on her body. The little girl opened her eyes in confusion and saw that the middle-aged man’s fist was hit by a strong mustache. The young man caught it.
“Uncle, forget it.”
“Forget it? What about my loss?” Asma let go of the middle-aged uncle’s hand, took out a few banknotes from his pocket, and handed them to the middle-aged uncle.
“This money should be enough to cover your losses.”
“Okay, okay, since you are willing to pay for her, that’s great.” The middle-aged uncle took the money and left in a hurry.
Asma helped the little girl up and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
The little girl shook her head and said, “It’s okay, thank you, big brother.”
“No, it’s just a piece of cake. Little sister, can I take you home?” The little girl’s eyes turned red after hearing this, “I don’t have a home anymore.”
Asuma sighed, as expected, “Little sister, what’s your name?”
“Xianglin.”
“Xianglin? What a good name. Xianglin, if you have nowhere to go, why not come with me.” Asma carefully looked at the dirty little girl in front of him, and he decided to take Xianglin with him Go back and give it to your teacher.
“Go to big brother’s house?”
“Ah, go to Big Brother’s village. It’s a very warm place. If you go there, you won’t go hungry again.”
Hearing this, Xianglin looked at Asma with wide eyes and asked, “Really? Brother, I want to go.”
“Then come with me. There, you will find your tribe and the meaning of your existence.”
“Um!”
Asma looked at Xianglin’s longing expression and thought to herself, “Little girls are really easy to deceive.”
The appearance of Xianglin was just a small episode in Asma’s mission.
When Asma returned to the hotel with Xianglin, Yibixi was surprised, but after explaining Xianglin’s identity, Yibixi was relieved.
It is well known that Asuma has a friendly relationship with the Uzumaki clan, and it is natural for the orphans of the Uzumaki clan to return to Konoha.
Asma asked the female clerk in the store to take Xianglin to take a shower and then change into clean clothes. At this time, Xianglin was a little nervous, maybe because she had never worn such good clothes before, which made her a little uncomfortable.
“Xiang Lin, you should go and rest first. We will set off early tomorrow morning.”
“Um.”
On the vast endless sea, Bai Taki walked on the waves, with little ripples under his feet. The waves were extremely peaceful under Bai Taki’s feet, and the waves could not cross Bai Taki’s insteps. Shirataki’s speed was extremely fast, and he didn’t know how far he had covered in the sea in an instant. Finally, when a piece of land appeared in front of him, Shirataki slowed down.
“This is the kingdom of water.” After setting foot on land, Shirataki glanced at the boundless sea behind him. His eyes were profound, as if the boundless sea could not fill his eyes. Turning his head to look at the Kingdom of Water in front of him, Shirataki left the coast and walked towards the Kingdom of Water. The Kingdom of Water is actually very small. It is the smallest country among the five major countries in the ninja world. After the expansion of the Kingdom of Rain, its scope is not much different from that of the Kingdom of Water.
Shirataki has two purposes for this trip. The first is to find the orphans of the Minazuki clan, and the second is to look for the Byakugan who was snatched away back then. Shirataki, who knows the plot, is well aware of the tragic situation within Kirigakure Village over the years. The blood mist policy has caused all the blood-stained families in Kirigakure Village to suffer a lot. Great ninja clans such as Minazuki and Kaguya were directly wiped out. .
For the sake of the deceased Renge, a respectable opponent who did not appear in the original work but was more powerful than any plot character, Shirataki decided to preserve the bloodline of the Minazuki clan.
