Chapter 57 The True Purpose

In the evening, the team that had been marching for a day stopped and began to camp in the forest to rest.

Because they were all ninjas, the team moved very quickly.

According to this progress, we will set off tomorrow morning and have another night's rest tomorrow night. We will be able to reach the border at noon the day after tomorrow.

Since it was the first day of departure, all the accompanying ninja groups, large and small, had brought their own food such as rice balls and dried meat, and they would probably have to eat military food pills later.

Although they are traveling together as a team, the teams are vaguely divided into three small groups. The three chuunin teams have a total of fifteen people. They are considered a small group;

The three jounin who lead the chuunin team are yet another small group;

Finally, there are Classes 6 and 7, plus Hinata Hizashi, a small group.

Of course, in Qianhe's opinion, the important reason why Hinata and Hizashi are close to the two classes must be to protect Ayane. There is no doubt about this.

Even if Konoha wanted to send Hyuga ninjas with Byakugan to the border, under normal circumstances they would not send Hyuga Hizashi, one of the top masters in the branch.

After all, on the battlefield, the Byakugan is also used for reconnaissance and is the object of protection by other ninjas.

Qianhe leaned against the tree trunk and ate the rice balls prepared before going out, while observing the situation of the ninjas around him.

The Chuunin team gathered more than ten meters away from him. Except for Mitarai Anko, all of them were faces that Qianhe felt were unfamiliar, so he just glanced at them without paying much attention.

His attention had always been on Mitarai Anko. Although she was in the small group of Chuunin team, she was obviously further away from the other fourteen people.

She leaned against the tree trunk, eating rice balls in small bites like Qian He, but her beautiful face had a numb expression and her eyes were a little absent-minded. She seemed to be thinking about something, so Qian He looked straight at her. None were found.

After eating the rice ball, she seemed to continue to be in a daze. After a while, she seemed to remember something. Resentment and sadness suddenly appeared on her face. She stretched her hand to her neck and rubbed it gently.

Qian He squinted his eyes and looked carefully, it seemed to be a curse seal.

It seemed that Orochimaru had defected, and she, the once glorious 'Sannin' disciple, was not living a good life.

Maybe Qianhe's gaze was too 'explicit', Hongdou noticed it. She raised her head and looked at the kid opposite who was staring straight at her. She glared at Qianhe, then closed her eyes and leaned against the big tree to rest.

If she had met such a young lady in the past, she might have teased her on a whim.

But now, or since her teacher Orochimaru defected without taking her with him, she has always been in a very bad mood.

Qian He lowered his head and continued eating the rice balls.

At this time, Kawashima Kaede, Minazuki, and Hinata Hizashi distanced themselves slightly from the genin of Class 6 and Class 7, talking quietly.

After Caiyin finished eating, she slipped to Qianhe's side and whispered in his ear:

"Qianhe, please stay closer to me on this mission, do you understand?"

Qian He felt his ears itching and suddenly shrank his neck. He looked at Caiyin with a puzzled expression and said:

"What's going on with this mission?"

Ayane explained: "I'm not very clear about the specifics. Anyway, I heard from my grandfather that the border post was attacked, and it was said that it was Kumogakure's ninjas who did it.

They might be testing the village's attitude, or they might just be provocative. Anyway, the chance of another large-scale battle is low, but the same cannot be said for small-scale battles.

Our mission is to follow the defense team to the border. The reason why we genin are allowed to follow is said to be to train us.

Because there were six Jonin following us, and our seventh and sixth squads were allowed to evacuate early in case of an accident, it might really be a way for us to gain experience.

Of course, in order to prevent unexpected situations from happening, you must follow me closely. I know that you are actually much better than me.

But if you are really in danger, even following Teacher Feng is not safe enough.

Only my Byakugan can detect the enemy at the first time. In addition, Uncle Hizashi's main purpose of following me is to protect me. As long as you stay close to me, Uncle Hizashi will also protect you.

Promise me, okay? "

Qianhe felt warm in his heart when he saw Caiyin's worried look and sincere tone.

Seeing people's hearts at critical moments, Ayane didn't know that Qianhe already had the special ability of 'Kagura Heart's Eye', whose detection ability was even more perverted than Byakugan.

She just thinks of the people she cares about most in advance when she may encounter danger.

No matter how he treated Qianhe before, at this moment, Qianhe felt that the softest part of his heart had been touched.

"I know, I'm very afraid of death. Even if you don't take me with you, I will hug your thigh tightly.

Moreover, if you are really in danger, I will protect you, don't worry. "

Qianhe smiled, touched Caiyin's little head, and gently pulled her braid.

"Qianhe, I'm serious, don't laugh." Caiyin wrinkled her nose, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with Qianhe's attitude.

Qianhe grabbed Caiyin's pigtails with both hands, brought his face closer, and said seriously: "I am serious too, you are very important to me, and I will protect you."

Although Qianhe's current Flying Thunder God is not perfect, it can still carry people. He has tried to transfer with a chair at home before, but it only consumes more chakra. It should be no problem to bring people.

Coupled with redemption, it's no problem to fly ten or twenty times.

Although the Flying Thunder God cannot be exposed, who cares when his life is really at stake.

Of course, these are just assumptions. With only the two ultimate reconnaissance abilities of 'Kagura's Heart's Eye and Byakugan, one for perception and the other for "seeing", the chance of encountering danger is extremely low.

"I believe you, let go." Ayane looked at Qianhe who was close at hand, her face flushed.

Although the two people's conversation was very low, Kawashima Kaede, Mizunotsuki, and Hizashi Hinata who were talking on the side still heard some of it.

Hizashi Hinata turned around and looked at Qianhe who was smiling warmly in front of him, and raised his eyebrows.

Seeing Hizashi Hinata looking over, Qianhe smiled awkwardly and let go of the hand holding Ayane's pigtail.

......

In the dense forest, two tall and one short, three ninjas wearing black cloaks and animal masks were hiding in the dark, observing the team.

One of the tall ninjas whispered to the short ninja in the lead:

"Captain, isn't our mission to find Orochimaru's northern base? Why do we have to follow the rotation team?"

The short ninja in the lead had white hair and said calmly: "This is a mission. Don't ask too many questions. Just obey orders."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Hearing the cold reply from the white-haired ninja, the other two stopped asking.

Kakashi stretched his hand under his cloak to his waist and stroked the scroll with a frog pattern hanging around his waist.

The main task this time is actually to get in touch with that adult.

......

PS: It's so hard for me. The power went off twice and the manuscript was not found. Otherwise, I would have finished writing all three chapters.
