Chapter 198: Water Country Mission, Who Is the Fastest in the Ninja World? (6K) (1/2)

It's getting dark.

In the dense forest within the Kingdom of Fire, a group of six people were on their way, and they kept walking through the forest.

The leader was a white-haired young man. He wore a Konoha forehead protector diagonally, with only one right eye exposed.

Behind him were four men and one woman, two of whom looked to be underage, twelve or thirteen years old.

The six people are the ANBU team headed by Kakashi. Among them, the members of Kakashi's class include Uzuki Yugao and Tenzo.

There is only one member of Itachi's class, Qianhe. Since it is a newly established class, coupled with factors such as strength and cooperation, only he and Qianhe will go on missions in Itachi's class this time. After all, if the strength is not enough, too many people will get in the way. .

The last young ninja is Hyuga Tokuma, a branch elite of the Hyuga clan. Since this mission will go deep into the Kingdom of Water, in an environment like the Kingdom of Water, white-eyed ninjas are necessary for safety reasons, so Team Kakashi The reconnaissance team is coming to Hyuga Tokuma.

For this kind of request, the Third Hokage will definitely meet it. After all, the people on this mission are all the elites of the new generation.

"stop!"

At this time, Kakashi at the front of the team gave an order, and everyone stopped immediately.

"Let's rest in the wild tonight and start our journey again tomorrow."

"yes!"

"yes."

No one had any objections to this, after all, they had been traveling all day since morning.

Then, a group of six people jumped down from the tree trunk and came to a slightly open grassland.

Because he had to go out on a mission, Qian He no longer wore his customary white windbreaker, but put on a black suit that was easy to use. After landing, Qian He sat down directly on the ground.

To be honest, he would rather fight than travel long distances like this. The road was full of trees and grass, and as far as the eye could see, it was green, so green that it made people panic.

Moreover, in the Country of Fire, the route from Konoha eastward to the Country of Water is the place Qianhe has been to the least in his previous missions, so naturally he did not leave many Flying Thunder God Kunai, and wanted to use kunai to transfer directly , if you walk less, you won’t have a chance.

Although there are flying thunder god kunai in other parts of the journey, Kakashi knows that he can fly thunder god. Since the captain has not asked, he will naturally not offer to take people. Anyway, it is just a few more hours of travel. That’s all.

"Eat first, we will discuss the specific mission arrangements in the evening." Kakashi said to Qianhe and others.

Since they were still in the Land of Fire, safety was guaranteed, and there was Hyuga Tokuma, a white-eyed ninja, following them, so the six of them made a fire to cook.

Although ANBU ninjas basically bring dry food and military food pills to solve the problem of eating when they are outside, but when they can eat hot food, who wants cold and hard dry food.

Since Kakashi is the captain, Uzuki Yuugao is a girl, and Hyuga Tokuma is here to help, hunting matters fall on Itachi and Tenzo.

As for Qian He, he has more important things to do.

After picking up some stones and dead branches, Qianhe built a simple pot stand and started to light a fire.

Although we are in the wild, the quality of life is still very important.

Under the surprised gazes of Kakashi, Uzuki Yugao, and Hinata Tokuma, Qianhe took out two storage scrolls, and then took out the daily items he carried with him:

"Cooking pot."

"spoon."

"pepper."

"MSG."

"Salt."

...

Seeing Qian He constantly taking out pots and pans and other kitchen and bathroom supplies from the storage scroll, there were even six or seven kinds of condiments, and even steel skewers for grilled fish were prepared.

Kakashi shook his head and laughed:

"Qianhe, you are still so delicate, there is no need to be so exaggerated."

"Kakashi-senpai, what you said is wrong. When conditions permit, it's right to be kind to yourself."

After Qianhe took out all the things, he smiled at Kakashi.

On the side, Uoyuki Xiyan and Hyuga Tokoku didn't say much.

Mao Yue Xiyan had a relationship with Qian He before because of Yue Guang Feng.

However, ever since Moonlight Hayate entered the Anbu and began to monitor Naruto, she and Qianhe had no interaction. After all, Moonlight Hayate herself was too busy to have time to meet Uzuki Xiyan, let alone party with Qianhe.

Her understanding of Qian He was still limited to when she just graduated. Although Qian He later became famous, she had never seen him before.

On the contrary, Hyuga Tokuma is very interested in Qianhe.

Qianhe single-handedly defeated the three thousand Kumogakure army, not only saving Konoha, but also saving the face of the Hyuga clan.

In addition, Hyuga Tengen, the branch elite of the Hyuga clan, had personally experienced the war, and he watched the entire battle.

Hyuga Tokuma naturally believed in Hyuga Tengen.

Although the 13-year-old Qian He looks taller than the average 16- or 17-year-old youth in terms of body shape, his handsome face and outline are also slightly childish.

But his eyes were introverted, and he looked like a boy next door. However, Hinata Tokuma, who knew his record, would not think that Qianhe was an ordinary boy.

Recalling that Qianhe's record that shocked the ninja world was four years ago, Hyuga Tokuma felt in a trance.

But being famous is not as good as seeing him. Seeing Qianhe go out to do tasks is like traveling. If he didn't know Qianhe's deeds, Hyuga Tokuma would even think that he is a newbie.

It is precisely because he knows how powerful Qianhe is that when he sees him taking out pots and pans, Hyuga Tokuma feels a sense of disconnection, and the style of the painting is not right.

"By the way, Kakashi-senpai, Tokuma-senpai, and Yugao, you and I also brought cups of Ichiraku Ramen. Do you want to eat?"

Qianhe took out three more boxes of cup noodles from his backpack.

"Thank you."

Looking at the cup noodles that Qianhe took out, Hyuga Tokuma remembered the full of ninja tools and outdoor supplies in his backpack, and then thought about the dry and hard compressed biscuits inside, and he suddenly felt that such outdoor life is really good.

The three of them were not polite and took Qianhe's cup noodles.

"Qianhe, do you bring these things when you go out on a mission? Do you have all the outdoor life supplies in your backpack? It seems that the things exposed in your backpack are all food. Where are your tent and sleeping bag?"

Hyuga Tokuma couldn't help asking.

Qianhe smiled when she heard this:

"These things can be eaten in one or two days. When we get to the Land of Water, many things can be bought on the spot.

As for the tent and sleeping bag, I just remembered that I didn't bring them now that you mentioned it."

"Where do you sleep at night?" Mao Yue Xi Yan couldn't help asking.

Usually, Kakashi is basically silent when doing missions, and his other teammate Tian Zang sticks to Kakashi all day, making her, a girl, feel less present.

Although she is not a talkative person, she can pass the time by chatting during the rest time during the mission.

"It's okay, I can just squeeze in with Itachi at night." Qianhe smiled at Mao Yue Xi Yan.

"..." Mao Yue Xi Yan was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

"Qianhe, you and Itachi have a really good relationship..." Hyuga Tokuma smiled awkwardly, as if trying to ease the embarrassment.

"What happened between me and Qianhe?"

At this time, Itachi and Tenzang returned from hunting. Tenzang was holding three bottles full of water, while Itachi was using straw to wear twelve grass carps whose scales and internal organs had been removed.

"Kakashi-senpai, what are you talking about?" Tenzang couldn't help asking.

Qianhe smiled and said, "Nothing. Thank you for your hard work. I will take care of it now."

Gudong gudong~

Qianhe took the bottle from Tenzang's hand, set up the pot, and poured water into the pot.

"Do you want to eat boiled or grilled food, Kakashi-senpai? Xiyan? Itachi..."

"Boiled."

"Grilled fish..."

Qianhe cooked skillfully. After a while, the fish soup was cooked, the grilled fish was grilled, the seasoning was evenly sprinkled, and then water was boiled to cook noodles.

"Hmm! This fish soup is delicious! Qianhe, if you open a restaurant, I will be the first to patronize it. I didn't expect that you are not only strong at such a young age, but also very good at cooking." Hyuga Tokuma praised.

Qianhe scratched his head and smiled: "Senior Tokuma, you are too polite. It's just that I lived alone before, so I have to know a little bit about everything."

Enjoying the delicious dinner, Tenzo, Uzuki Yugao and others did not hesitate to praise Qianhe. When they heard that Qianhe lived alone, their eyes flickered slightly.

Among the six people present, except Itachi, Uzuki Yugao and Hyuga Tokuma, Kakashi, Qianhe and Tenzo are all without parents.

Speaking of which, Qianhe seems to have lived alone since he was six years old, and Kakashi is almost the same. When he was seven years old, White Fang committed suicide and he became an orphan. Tenzo, on the other hand, has never seen his parents.

"Itachi, where is the water source nearby?"

After a delicious meal, Qianhe put away the pots and prepared to wash them.

"Over there, about a few hundred meters away." Itachi pointed to the place behind him.

"Senior Kakashi, I'll go clean it first and come back in about ten minutes."

"Well, go early and come back early, be careful." Kakashi nodded.

"I'll help you." Mao Yue Xi Yan, who was standing by, looked at Qian He holding a pile of kitchen utensils, she stood up and walked to Qian He.

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome."

Qian He and Mao Yue Xi Yan came to the river, put down the kitchen utensils, and then put them in the river to wash.

Mao Yue Xi Yan squatted by the river, lifted her hair behind her ears, and washed the kitchen utensils seriously.

The two chatted casually.

Men and women work together, and work is not tiring.

It took less than ten minutes to clean up.

When Qian He and Mao Yue Xi Yan came back, they saw that their empty camp had become crowded.

Looking at the wooden house that appeared out of thin air, Uzuki Yugao was stunned for a moment, "What is this?"

Tenzo on the side smiled and said, "I heard from Senior Kakashi that Qianhe didn't bring a tent and sleeping bag. I ate your food, so I want to show my appreciation."

Qianhe heard this and smiled, "Then I won't be polite."

"Qianhe, aren't your tent and sleeping bag in my backpack?" Itachi on the side was stunned for a moment.

"Ahem..." Qianhe coughed several times.

After this little episode, the six people entered the wooden house.

The house has no partitions, only a hall, but the hall is very empty, even if there are more than a dozen people sleeping, it is no problem, not to mention that they are only five men and one woman.

After all, compared to sleeping on the wet grass in the wild, having a house to sleep is too happy.

The six people sat in the hall, and Kakashi began to explain the details of the mission to the five people.

"This time, the mission given to us by the third generation is to conduct an investigation in the hinterland of the Land of Water, and it would be best to obtain information about the Hidden Mist Village.

The coastal area on the eastern border of the Fire Country has been harassed recently. The village suspects that something happened again to Kirigakure. Let us try our best to investigate.

Maybe it was because of Shisui's...suicide that the originally peaceful Kirigakure Village was ready to stir up trouble again. "

When it came to Shisui's suicide, Kakashi paused obviously and glanced at Itachi, who was expressionless and listened to Kakashi's explanation seriously.

"To put it simply, the village wants us to investigate the intelligence of Kirigakure Village as much as possible. Of course, our own safety is also very important, so the village sent Itachi's squad to assist us."

Saying that, Kakashi looked at Qianhe.

Tenzo, Uoyuki Xiyan, and Hinata Tokuma also looked at Qianhe and Itachi.

Their team is not simple.

Itachi and Qianhe are both thirteen years old. The former is now a genius ninja of the Uchiha clan, the youngest squad leader of the ANBU, and his strength is comparable to that of a Jonin.

The latter is Jiraiya's disciple, and his strength is unfathomable.

Kakashi continued: "The meaning of the village is very simple. If nothing can be found through the investigation, we should try our best to create some chaos in the Kingdom of Water while ensuring our own safety and not exposing our identity.

After all, after World War III, many of Konoha's elites died in battles with Kirigakure.

Of course, it is very important not to reveal your identity.

After entering the Kingdom of Water, we all have to change out of our ANBU attire and put our forehead protectors away, and everyone calls us by our code names.

I am Kuroyuki, Xiyan is the flower, Tokuma is the room, Tenzo still uses your code name, Qianhe is the Aurora, Itachi is the dumpling, do you understand? "

As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, Qianhe couldn't help but complain: "Senior Kakashi, just forget about the few of us. With your level of recognition, I'm afraid it won't make any difference whether you use a code name or not..."

As soon as Qian He finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Indeed, with the four elements of white hair, thunder escape, mask, and sharingan added together, who else could be there except copying the ninja Kakashi.

Kakashi is now very famous in various countries, and the bounty on his head is more than 30 million.

"..." Kakashi was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Qianhe to make trouble like this. After thinking for a moment, he said: "It's okay, I'll put on a disguise.

As for whether they will be discovered, that is up to you Qianhe. With your flying thunder god speed, ordinary people may not be able to escape. "

"Okay." Qian He nodded.

****

The Kingdom of Water is one of the five major kingdoms. Its territory is composed of one large island and many small islands.

Among them, Kirigakure Village, one of the five major ninja villages, is located on the largest Luanshui Island.

Kirigakure Ninja Village is a mysterious ninja village locked in thick fog. As an island country, it is surrounded by the sea. The fishery is developed and rich in all kinds of marine fish.

The large and small islands around Luanshui Island have various customs and habits, and there are many islanders who live according to their own customs.

Due to being far away from the mainland and blocked by the ocean, the Kingdom of Water rarely intervened in the previous Ninja World War and basically would not be affected by the war. Of course, there were many cases where Kirigakure Village took the initiative to attack.

In the morning, the sun rises high, and the dense fog gradually dissipates.

There was no wind and three feet of waves on the sea. A small passenger ship was sailing on the sea, and the hull kept shaking slightly.

At this time, a handsome young man wearing a black suit was crawling along the edge of the ship on the deck, but his spirit seemed a little weak.

"Ugh~"

Qian He's face turned pale and he retched again.

Behind him, Uo Yue Xiyan, who was wearing casual clothes, was gently patting his back to help him calm down.

Kakashi wore a black cloak, hiding his entire body under the cloak.

As for Itachi, Tenzo, and Hyuga Tokuma, they also changed their clothes. This time, they were tourists and businessmen.

The five of them looked at Qian He speechlessly. Who would have thought that he would get seasick.

Even Qian He himself didn't expect that he was not so dizzy when he was on a big ship before. In addition, many times he went to sea by flying. This time because he was pretending to be a tourist, he couldn't use light escape to fly in the sky.

Even though he had eaten almost nothing for breakfast, he was still so seasick that he almost vomited bile.

"Qianhe, it's okay. Just hold on and we'll be there soon." Maoyue Xiyan comforted her softly.

"There's still one day left!" At this time, the sailor on the deck said a timely follow-up shot.

When Maoyue Xiyan heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sailor.

...

After more than two days, Kakashi's team finally arrived at Luanshui Island, where Kirigakure Village is located.

Although the Kingdom of Water is a country composed of archipelagos, the main island of Turbulent Water Island is very large.

After landing, Team Kakashi spent a day in a coastal port city before heading deep into the interior.

In the next two days, they started camping in the wild again.

That night, after eating, Qianhe went to the lake to clean the tableware, and Maoyue Xiyan followed him consciously.

Wow~

After Maoyue Xiyan finished cleaning, she handed the tableware to Qianhe, who wiped the water with the rag he brought with him and put it aside.

Within five minutes, Maoyue Xiyan washed the last spoon and handed it to Qianhe. Qianhe smiled slightly and took the spoon.

"Hiss~"

A strange voice sounded, and Qian He was startled. Almost the moment he heard the voice, he hugged Mao Yue Xiyan, and a teleportation technique appeared twenty meters away.

boom!

A loud noise was heard. Just as Qianhe left the lake, a big pit appeared where he and Mao Yue Xi Yan had just washed the kitchen utensils. Qianhe's kitchen utensils were pressed into a shrunken iron block.

Hiss...

Qianhe put Mao Yue Xi Yan down and looked at the giant python that suddenly appeared and the man standing on the giant python. Qianhe frowned slightly and said unkindly:

"Mr. Orochimaru, I haven't seen you for a few years. How come your way of greeting has become so barbaric?"

It was Orochimaru who attacked just now.

"Orochimaru?!" Feeling the cold breath emanating from Orochimaru, Mao Yue Xi Yan's face turned pale. This was the obvious sense of oppression that would arise from the huge gap in strength.

"Oh? Is it really Qianhe-kun? I knew Qianhe-kun would not be killed so easily." Orochimaru stretched out his long tongue that made people's scalps numb and licked his lips. The earthy yellow giant python under him also spit out its snake tongue.

"Didn't you want to kill me just now?" Qianhe said coldly.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, a threatening light flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly:

"It seems that Qianhe's strength has improved in the past few years, and his attitude towards me is getting worse and worse."

"You will know if you try it!" Qianhe's expression turned cold, and the Budu sword on his waist was instantly unsheathed.

Wind Style: Vacuum Sword!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Dozens of wind blades were emitted from the sword.

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

Hiss!

Orochimaru jumped directly from the summoned beast, and the khaki giant python he summoned was unable to dodge and was directly cut into pieces by Qianhe's wind blades.

Swish!

Qianhe's figure flashed, and before Orochimaru landed, Qianhe appeared in front of him.

Qianhe swung his sword, and Orochimaru suddenly twisted into a weird angle and avoided Qianhe's sword.

However, Qianhe's expression did not change, and the lightning chakra instantly poured into the sword.

Chidori Style!

Chirp~

A silver-white electric arc as sharp as a bird's cry appeared, and then hit Orochimaru, causing his body to be paralyzed for a short time.

After Qianhe's right hand swung out a sword and missed, he placed the Budukendo sword on his left hand, then turned around and pierced Orochimaru's shoulder with the tip of the sword.

However, Orochimaru's reaction was not slow, and he reacted almost at the moment when his body was paralyzed. Qianhe's Budukendo sword only penetrated less than a centimeter before he dodged it.

Orochimaru looked at the blood-soaked collar on his shoulder, his face was a little ugly. He didn't expect Qianhe's strength to have made great progress compared to three years ago.

It was just that being injured by a junior who was several dozen years younger than him, even if it was just a little skin break, Orochimaru felt his face was hot, especially since he took the initiative to "greet" him.

"Qianhe..."

After Qianhe stabbed Orochimaru, he did not continue to attack, but returned to Uzuki Yugao's side to prevent others.

"It seems that Qianhe-kun is really different." Orochimaru was murderous this time.

"Mr. Orochimaru, I have no intention of being your enemy. You were the first to start. I just want you to know that I am not the brat I used to be. Goodbye."

Zheng!

Qianhe sheathed his sword and said lightly.

As he spoke, Qianhe nodded to Orochimaru and made a move to leave with Mao Yue Xi Yan.

At this moment, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and quickly formed seals with his hands.

Bang!

The ground in front of Qianhe and Mao Yue Xi Yan suddenly cracked, and a coffin suddenly broke out of the ground.

Looking at the serial number "two" written on the coffin, Qianhe's face changed slightly.

"Xi Yan, hurry up! Tell Kakashi and the others to stay away from here!" Qianhe said to Mao Yue Xi Yan beside him.

Mao Yue Xi Yan showed hesitation, "But..."

Qianhe: "Don't worry, I have Flying Thunder God."

Xi Yan: "Okay, I know."

Boom!

Just as the two were talking, the coffin board fell down.

A tall, handsome silver-haired man was revealed.

He had silver hair and red eyes, and wore an iron forehead protector in the style of a face protector. There were three red marks on his cheeks. He was wearing a tight black combat uniform with blue layered armor on the outside and a white down collar on his shoulders connected to his back.

He also wore a Konoha forehead protector on his forehead.

"It's the Second Hokage..." Qianhe's face darkened.

I didn't expect that Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation Technique would be completed so early.

Orochimaru walked to the side of the coffin and smiled faintly:

"Qianhe, I wonder if you are faster, or the Second Hokage, the former 'Speediest in the Ninja World', is faster?"
