The Red Moon of Konoha

Chapter 168 New Missions
This is darkness.

Not a ray of light.

The cold wind gently brushed across the face like a knife, and the pitch-black monster danced its claws and claws in the darkness, how strange it was!It's so dark that you can't see anything, but you can 'see' the hideous and ugly appearance of the monster.

"Hey, Kakashi, Kakashi? Are you all right?"

A ray of light pierces the darkness.

The pure white light, too dazzling to look directly at, dispelled the darkness.

Kakashi opened his eyes, and immediately squinted his eyes stimulated by the bright sunlight outside the window. He instinctively raised his hand to cover the sunlight that could make people feel idle for no reason. It took about five In a matter of seconds, he finally recovered from the pitch-black dream.

"Lin, is that you?"

Looking at the girl standing in front of the table, Kakashi yawned, "Wait a minute, I'll go wash my face!"

He opened the drawer, took out the dental kit from it, stood up, and walked to the bathroom with unsteady steps.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he finally woke up completely.

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Sitting back on the chair, Kakashi looked at the girl.

"Kakashi, you... have been sleeping in the office these days?" Lin looked at the small office.

"Too lazy to go back."

Kakashi leaned lazily on the chair, like a dog whose bones had been pumped.

Lin looked at Kakashi who was out of shape speechlessly.

"Then you just sleep here every day?"

"No! There's a sleeping bag here! But I was too busy yesterday, so I didn't bother to get into the sleeping bag anymore, so I squinted on my stomach for a while and it passed." Kakashi said and yawned again, the corners of his eyes still squeezed Two tears came out.

Since Kakashi ran away in the meeting room three months ago and was sent to the hospital to lie down for three days, in order to prevent Kakashi from being further affected by the ninja tool, Minato first ordered Kakashi not to leave for a short period of time The village was carrying out a mission, and later worried that he was idle and messing around, so he was dragged to the Hokage Building to find an office, and threw him a bunch of extremely trivial chores for him to deal with.

Kakashi simply took the office as his own, and he didn't go home for almost a week.

It's all the same to him anyway.

He lives alone.

"The teacher asked me to come to you and tell you to go to his office to find him."

Lin didn't say much, although she really wanted to persuade Kakashi to take care of herself more, but she didn't say it in the end. Kakashi probably has his own difficulties!

"The teacher is looking for me? What's the matter?"

Kakashi yawned and stood up.

"I don't know either, but there should be some mission. It seems that the daimyo of Tian Zhiguo sent an envoy."

"Tianzhiguo? Isn't there even a ninja village in that place? What can happen if there is more peace?"

"I am not sure as well."

The two talked and walked out the door.

Turned and went upstairs, walked half a circle along the circular corridor, and came to the door of Hokage's office.

The door with excellent sound insulation effect cuts off the sound in Hokage's office. There is no one in the corridor, and some offices have not closed the door properly.

Under the command of Minato, there are no idlers in the Hokage Building.

"Dong dong!"

Lynn knocked lightly on the door.

"Sensei, I brought Kakashi here."

After the voice fell, the girl pushed open the door, and the two walked in one after the other.

"Lin, Kakashi, you are here!"

Behind the large mahogany desk, the Fourth Hokage in white casual clothes sat upright. With a kind smile on his face, he looked at the two disciples who walked in.

"teacher."

Lin and Kakashi took two steps forward and said hello in unison.

"Hey, Kakashi, what have you been up to lately? I've been looking for you several times, but you're not at home. We haven't had a good fight for a month." Sitting on the sofa, Akai jumped up, resentful Asma next to him trembled when he heard the complaints.

"Ah!"

Kakashi didn't even lift his eyelids.

Akai didn't care about Kakashi's bad attitude at all. There was no reason at all, and the whole person became excited on his own. Kashi asked Zhan, "Kakashi, the sun is so good today, let's have a youthful and passionate duel!!!"

How is the sun?
Asma glanced out the window and narrowed her eyes.

The sun is quite basking today.

However, is there any inevitable connection between this and the duel of youthful blood?
"I can't do it today. I stayed up late last night and my spirits are low. Now I can't even exert half of my strength. Let's compete another day, another day!" Kakashi waved his hand weakly and refused. After being entangled by Akai for so long, he also Mastered how to deal with Akai this 'precious beast'.

Rejection is the next strategy. Akai's stalking is almost impossible to guard against. He can even sit next door to invite a fight while squatting on the toilet.

The best way is to say that I am unwell, there is no way to have a 'fair' duel with Akai, so that Akai himself will choose to give up... But the fly in the ointment is that this method cannot be used all the time, Every now and then, I still have to compete with Akai.

"Stay up late? Then there's nothing we can do. It seems that our duel can only be postponed. However, it's best not to stay up late for a passionate youth!"

Akai gave a thumbs up, his gleaming white teeth made everyone's eyes hurt.

But... I finally appeased this guy, including Minato heaved a sigh of relief, this kid Akai didn't know what to do, he recognized Kakashi's entanglement, his strange brain circuit sometimes Even he couldn't figure it out.

Just calm down.

Well, just calm down!

Minato tapped lightly on the table with his fingers.

"Tuk-tuk!!"

The crisp sound immediately attracted everyone's distracted attention.

"Kakashi, Asma, Akai, Lin." Minato called their names one by one. Asma, whose ass was still glued to the sofa, jumped up like a spring, and stood in a row with Kakashi and the others. , respectfully listening to the decree from the fourth generation.

"I asked you to come here today because I have a task for you to do."

Minato looked at the boys and girls standing at the table.

The four of them concentrated and pricked up their ears.

"Tianzhiguo has had some problems in the past two months. At first, the problem was not big, but some robbers and rogues in Tianzhiguo were attacked and disappeared continuously. It is a good thing to say, but in one A month ago, probably because all the robbers and rogues in the territory were caught, someone attacked the prison in Tian Zhiguo and took away the prisoners in the prison."

The water gate spoke eloquently.

"If it ends here, it's not such a serious problem, but then, these attackers of unknown origin started to attack the gangsters in the city, and the daimyo mansion of Tian Zhiguo became a mess. As a last resort, Tian The daimyo of the country sent envoys to Konoha, hoping to send someone to investigate the identity of the assailant and get rid of the assailant."

"Are we going to Tanokuni to investigate these attackers?"

Asma couldn't hold back anymore and asked.

"Do not."

Minato's answer made Asma's eyes widen. He wondered if there was something wrong with his ears?
But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Akai's stunned look beside him, and it seemed that his ears should be fine.

"Two months ago, the staff of 'Gen' in Tianzhi Country noticed the existence of this group of attackers, and immediately conducted an investigation." Minato said slowly, "Just a week ago, sent According to the latest information, this group of attackers... is probably related to Orochimaru."

Orochimaru!
One of the Sannin, once one of Konoha's pillars.

This name is especially intimidating in the ears of Kakashi and his generation. They are the youngest group of people who have witnessed the power of the Sannin. Those who are younger than them have never seen the appearance of the Sannin on the battlefield. Those who are older than them are naturally in awe of the title of 'Three Ninja' like them.

"Oshemaru is our target?" It was Asma who spoke.

"That's right, your task is to confirm whether the news about Orochimaru is true or not," Minato replied.

"Oshemaru? It's dangerous but exciting!"

Asma laughed, and the fluffy bearded face showed the wantonness and frivolity of a young man.

"Oh! Orochimaru! My blood is also starting to boil."

As a matter of course, Akai burned up.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Minato frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Asuma, Akai, don't be careless, if Orochimaru is really hidden in Tanokuni, even a slight negligence will make you regret it for the rest of your life... ... I don't want someone to be missing when you come back."

"We'll be careful."

Seeing Hokage-sama with a troubled expression on his face, Asma and Akai immediately lowered their heads and obediently admitted their mistake.

It doesn't matter whether you really know you're wrong or you just say it, no one is stupid enough to provoke Hokage-sama at this time, admitting your mistake quickly is the only correct choice.

Minato sighed, even if there was no Sharingan or supercilious look, he could tell that Akai sincerely admitted his mistake, and Asma... this child is still too proud!I heard that he and the third generation had quarreled countless times at home, and Asma even threatened to run away from home...
PS: This information comes from Kushina, and Kushina learned about it from Sarutobi Lake Biwa—the network of women!
Fortunately, he also found a reliable enough bodyguard.

Otherwise, he wouldn't let these four little guys go out. Although the four of them are already Jnin, in Minato's view, they are still very immature. They all participated in the third battle, but they can only be said to be fishing. With a tail, I haven't really experienced enough harsh tempering.

Kakashi's still withdrawn temperament and Asman's contemptuous temper are the best proof of the immaturity of the teenagers.

"When you go to Tianzhi Country, don't rush to act, there is another person who will act with you."

"Another person? Who is it? With soil?"

Lin's beautiful dark brown eyes widened.

"Obito has another task, and he can't get away for the time being. As for who it is, you will know when you go to the Daimyo Mansion of Tianzhi Country. That person will meet you at the Daming Mansion of Tianzhi Country."

After Minato, he explained the details of the task to the four of them, and repeatedly told them not to be careless.

It wasn't until Lin, who was the most well-behaved and obedient, showed a sluggish expression, that Minato waved his hand helplessly. The patience of these little guys is really lacking.

After Kakashi and the others left, the office became quiet again.

----

"What's next? Kakashi."

"Why ask me?"

"You are the captain, don't ask who you ask?"

"Since when am I the captain?"

Kakashi stared at Asma wonderingly.

The four people who left Hokage's office didn't go too far, they stopped at the corner of the corridor and began to discuss some issues.

"Is Kakashi the captain? Why don't I know."

Akai also widened his eyes.

Lin didn't say a word, she stood with her arms folded and watched the show leisurely. Anyway, she is good at medical ninjutsu. Unless it is during medical emergencies, otherwise she is destined to play support, command authority and so on at other times. It doesn't matter to her, and she doesn't bother to worry about these things.

"Because Kakashi is the strongest among us!"

Asma said naturally.

"I protest, my duel record with Kakashi is eight wins and eight losses, it can only be said to be a tie."

"..." Asma glanced at Akai, not intending to discuss this issue with Akai, he looked at Kakashi, "Kakashi, what do you say? Team action, there is no captain No? If you don’t want to, then you have to let Akai do it.”

Kakashi looked at Asma speechlessly.

special,
To be so shameless.

If Akai became the captain, he would not worry about his reliability when performing tasks, but this guy would definitely make mistakes at other times, such as using the power of the captain to ask everyone to race, walk upside down, maybe when eating There's going to be a competition...

"Asma, what about you?"

"I said you are the strongest among us." Asma looked at Kakashi Sora's waist, "I am not your opponent, how can I be qualified to be the captain? Don't embarrass me!"

After that, he noticed Akai who opened his mouth and showed white teeth, and hurriedly added, "Of course, I am not Akai's opponent, if Kakashi refuses, then let Akai be the captain. "

Asma is proud.

But his pride wasn't defiant arrogance.

For the strong, he is extremely respectful (quarreling with his old man is a housework).

Kakashi has been No.1 among his peers since the ninja school, the first to graduate from the ninja school ahead of schedule, the first to be promoted to the middle ninja, the first to be promoted to the jnin, and he also mastered such a handle that can greatly improve Powerful Ninja Sword.

Kakashi came to be the captain, he was convinced.

As for Akai, although this guy was at the end of the Wannian crane when he was in the ninja school, everyone even said that Akai would never graduate, but the final result was that Akai successfully graduated, and he took steps one step at a time. Ninja, Jonin, surpassed many classmates who were far better than him.

Not long ago, when Akai was promoted to the Jnin assessment, Asma had the honor to participate as an auditor.

Then--

He saw such a terrifying physical technique called [Bamen Dunjia].

He was frustrated to find that once he fought against Akai, if he couldn't hit Akai severely with ninjutsu or illusion in the first time, he would definitely lose.

When he got home, he asked the old man about [Bamen Dunjia], but he was scolded by the old man and told him that he was incapable of learning that thing. Don't keep worrying about unreliable things, let him concentrate on training Fengdun. He Huodun, who almost drove Asma mad, had another fierce fight with the old man.

Thinking about it now still makes me angry.

"The captain is the captain!"

Kakashi still agreed, and successfully appeased Akai on the condition that he would have a competition with Akai after the mission was over.

"The first order, everyone, go back and pack your things first. This time, we may meet Orochimaru when we go to Tanokuni, so we must be fully prepared... Wait, let me see the time." Kakashi As he spoke, he slipped into an office not far away, and came out three seconds later.

"It's [-]:[-], we'll meet at the main gate of the village at [-] o'clock, is it okay?"

Kakashi showed the captain's demeanor and looked at the three of them.

"43 minutes? That's too much!" This is Akai.

"I promise I won't be late." This is Asma.

"I'm OK here too!" This is Lin.

"That's fine, now...disband." Kakashi waved his hand, and the backs of Akai and Asma disappeared at the stairs, but Lin stayed and did not leave.

"Lin, aren't you going back to prepare?"

Kakashi looked at Lin who was following behind him suspiciously.

"I'm all ready." The girl patted the bulging ninja tool bag hanging on her waist, "I'm a medical staff, unlike you, I always have what I need with me."

Ordinary ninjas don't have ninja tools, and they can still use taijutsu and ninjutsu to kill people.

However, if medical ninjas do not have the assistance of medicines, gauze and other materials, it is difficult to carry out effective treatment. After all, Palm Immortal Art is not a panacea, and not every medical ninja can master such high-end medical ninjutsu as Palm Immortal Art .

Lin naturally knows palm fairy art, but in order to save chakra, she still needs to use medicines, gauze and other materials to match, so as to reduce unnecessary chakra consumption,
"Then why don't you go and find a place near the gate of the village to rest for a while? Why do you follow me?"

Kakashi sprinted on the roof, turned his head to look at the girl who was following behind him, and couldn't help but feel dizzy.

"Whee!"

The girl laughed softly, "It's so boring to go to the gate alone now, and Kakashi, you haven't come home for a long time, I can help you clean up."

"Don't be so troublesome, you can wait until you get back and do it slowly, and it will take more than half an hour, it's too late..." Kakashi didn't finish his sentence, but under the sharp gaze of the girl Shut up.

"Kakashi, don't underestimate the professional medical staff!"

Lin raised her head, revealing a section of her fair neck, as if you don't want to talk too much.

The corner of Kakashi's mouth twitched, he really wanted to ask the last question, is there any necessary connection between professional medical staff and cleaning?Shouldn't that be the job of a professional housekeeper?
However, after thinking twice, he chose to keep his mouth shut!
Reasoning with Lin?
Hehe, when he, Obito, and Lin used to operate in a small team, Lin was the embodiment of reason in the team, and that idiot Obito threw all his little brains to the Java State in front of Lin. Go, what Lin says is what.

It made him alone and weak, and in the end he could only succumb to Lin's smile.
