The Red Moon of Konoha

Chapter 192 Journey to the Snow Country, Part [-]
"Teacher Obito, don't you have any more powerful tasks? The task of cleaning up the garbage in the river is too boring!"

"Naruto, it's not a good thing to be too ambitious."

"You are obviously overqualified."

"Just a ninja, what kind of talent is he?"

Obito couldn't bear it anymore, reached out and patted Naruto on the head, the latter held his head in great dissatisfaction, muttered non-stop, and said bad things about Obito over and over again.

seventh class,
We are carrying out the commission to clean up river garbage.

Even the teams of geniuses are just forbearance after all, and it is precisely because they are geniuses that they have to carefully polish such fine materials and beautiful jade. This seemingly inconspicuous D-level task can polish the sharp edges and corners of geniuses, after all Not every genius can think from the perspective of Hokage at the age of seven like Uchiha Itachi.

A lot of domestic garbage discharged from the village is piled up in the meandering river.

There are hundreds of shadow clones of Naruto standing on the river, either with their hands or with long poles, and with the help of the big ink bird made by Sai, they are cleaning up the accumulated garbage at an extremely fast speed, Sasuke Then use the fire escape technique to incinerate the salvaged garbage.

"Teacher Obito, this should work, right?"

The pitch-black big bird hovering in the sky slowly landed, Saii jumped off the bird's back, and then the big bird shattered into a puddle of ink, blackening the grass under his feet.

"Almost... I can do business!"

Obito clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked carefully at the cleaned river surface, and nodded in satisfaction.

Leaving aside some miscellaneous problems, this group of genius subordinates are really capable, no matter what kind of D-level tasks, they can always complete them properly, so that he can only find problems from eggs If you're picking bones, maybe it's time to change to a more difficult task to train them.

Back in the village, they submitted the task, and after the village sent people to check it, they got the commission for the task.

Obito's guide is [-]% exclusive to the ninja.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sai shared the remaining [-]% equally.

Because the mission was issued by the village, there was no commission from it, otherwise the number would drop further.

"Isn't that too little? It's clearly an entrustment issued by the village, so can't you be generous? It's almost gone for a few meals of ramen for such a small amount of money." Naruto clicked on the rewards he received, and sighed deeply After taking a breath, an inappropriate look of distress appeared on the young face.

"If this continues, we will only be able to eat instant noodles in the next few days!"

"It's not your own fault that you have to move out of the house to live alone." Sasuke collected his share of the salary, "Besides, don't you like ramen the most? Do you have any dissatisfaction?"

Naruto is renting a house to live alone.

Not only have to be responsible for their own food expenses, but also worry about the rent.

This made the teenagers who pursued independence and freedom deeply realize how heavy the price of freedom is.

"Is it important to maintain a balanced diet? Even if I like ramen, I also want to eat barbecue...Sasuke~~~"

"No, I'm also very tight now, but I don't have the spare time to treat you to a barbecue."

Sasuke quickly snuffed out Naruto's unrealistic thoughts.

"Huh? What are you saving money for? You're a homebody, so you don't have to worry about rent and food, shouldn't it be easy?" Naruto's eyes widened.

"I promised Aika to take her out to play when she was resting. They are already ninjas, and they can't ask mom for money...it's not as easy as you think." Sasuke shook his head.

Naruto who was sitting on the swing suddenly drooped his head as if he had lost his strength, and sighed listlessly. He tilted his head and looked at Sai who was sitting diagonally opposite on the children's slide, "Speaking of which, Sai, you bastard Are you saving money too?"

"Well, I have taken a fancy to a set of high-grade paints, and the price is quite expensive."

Sai said with a smile.

"hateful!"

Naruto completely gave up hope.

Barbecue...I am afraid that in the future, I will have instant noodles as a companion.

But he absolutely does not regret the choice of moving out to live alone.

Compared with the siege of my mother, Xiaoying, Shiyin, and Qinyin at home, a person's life is really comfortable...except for the problem of eating.

"It's okay, it's okay, the three of you haven't left yet."

Obito used the instant body technique to appear in front of the three of them.

Look at the subordinates.

There was a relieved smile on his face, "Naruto, didn't you complain that you are overqualified for doing D-level tasks all the time? It just so happens that there is a C-level task... are you interested?" While speaking, His eyes wandered over his subordinates, observing everyone's reaction.

The joyful Naruto, the scrutinizing Sasuke, and the always smiling Saii are all very personal.

Not bad!

"Teacher, what task? So suddenly, didn't we just complete a C-level task?" Sasuke asked aloud.

"Luck! Luck."

Obito shrugged and explained: "This task was originally taken over by the tenth class, but unfortunately, Choji Akimichi of the tenth class got acute gastritis because he ate a lot of expired potato chips, and was rushed to the hospital. They have no way to continue this task, but because they have already undertaken it, they can’t just give up, so Asma gave this task to our class as a thank you gift for helping. After this task is over, he will invite you to the barbecue Q Eat barbecue."

"So, there is no problem, right? Don't tell me that any of you have a stomachache and have to go to the hospital."

Obito asked.

"How is it possible? We're not that guy Choji... Obito-sensei, what is the mission?"

"Escort mission, escort an actress to the snow country to shoot a new movie, because the place is far away, for the sake of safety, so I came to the village to hire ninjas..." Before Obito finished speaking, he was jumping with excitement Naruto who got up was interrupted.

"Actress? Are you sure you are going to Snow Country? Could it be the second part of Fengyun Princess?"

Naruto stood in front of Obito, looking up at Obito with anticipation.

"...Princess Fengyun, ah! It's the movie you like very much... It seems that the actress who guards this time is indeed Fuji Fuyuki!"

*
Princess Fengyun crew.

Because of the excellent response of the first film, after careful preparation, the crew is ready to start filming the second film.

He even went to the remote snow country for this.

However, it is very subtle that when she heard that the filming location was Snow Country, Ms. Fuji Fuyuki showed a very strong sense of resistance, and even made an act of fleeing from the crew. Fortunately, the guards hired by the crew were very Effectively, he caught the escaped protagonist back.

"It sounds more troublesome than I imagined. Could it be that our mission also includes taking care of Miss Fuji Fuyuki?"

Obito scratched his head.

"Haha! As long as you get on the boat, you won't be able to escape even if you want to. Besides, this is just a girl's temper tantrum, so don't take it too seriously." The director with a pipe in his mouth said boldly smile.

"Your task is to escort us to the Snow Country to take pictures. Although it is basically impossible to have any risks, the journey is long after all. In case of any accident, it is undoubtedly more reliable to have the protection of a ninja, so... Ninjas, please."

"Don't worry, this is our responsibility."

Obito said so.

After communication, we confirmed the content of the task, and didn't waste too much time. Even Fuji Fuyuki, the popular actress Naruto, and the others just saw her stepping into the carriage from a distance, and then the huge crew The team headed east, toward the location of the port.

----

Life on board was very new to Naruto and the others at first.

But after a long time, it gradually became a bit boring, because doing the work of guards, it is not good to waste energy on training casually, so as not to be useless in case of unexpected accidents. The only thing I can do is to watch the crew and make movies. Looking at the sea in a daze.

"Obito-sensei, this kind of work is different from what I thought."

Everyone gathered at the bow of the ship, leaning against the side of the ship, watching the shooting in the center of the deck.

Naruto spit out the depression that had accumulated in his chest for several days.

"Then what is it like in your imagination?" Obito asked with great interest.

"Hmm...it's a more exciting feeling! Fight against the powerful enemy that comes, win the final victory after a hard fight, then end the mission and return to the village...like this kind of slow life feeling Not a bit of a ninja style at all."

Naruto tried his best to describe the tasks that a ninja should have in his heart.

"Exciting!"

Obito sighed.

No mocking Naruto's innocence.

When he was a child, he had similar thoughts with Naruto, but he was not as leisurely as Naruto and the others at that time. He was sent to the battlefield at a young age, and he saw how cruel the battlefield is, so he cherished the present even more. Such a peaceful and leisurely time.

"The chicks who have just left the nest are like this, desperately vibrating their wings to fly higher, as if this can prove their maturity... In fact, they have not seen what the real wind and waves are. look." Obito said words that seemed to be cryptic.

Looking at the frowning subordinates, Obito smiled, "You will experience it in the future, this kind of boredom... is what many people dream of, but this kind of pursuit is really not suitable for you brats Well, in short, I hope we can get paid smoothly this time, and I don't want to encounter any unexpected risks."

After finishing speaking, Obito left the side of his subordinates, and mingled with the crew members who had rested, smiling and talking loudly.

"What are you doing? Pretentious."

Naruto shook his head, complaining.

"Maybe married men are like this?" Sasuke's focus was a little strange.

Sai didn't speak, and looked at Obito's back thoughtfully, thinking of his brother, who had to retire from the front line because of a serious illness. Become weak, unable to continue to engage in ninja activities, transformed into a civilian.

He once asked if sitting in an office every day dealing with paperwork would be boring.

The answer I got -

"Probably there is boredom, but there is not much regret. This kind of life is not bad. Don't worry about going out that day, and you will never come back... Sai, you can leave the root, I am actually very happy .”

Such words, Saii did not quite understand at the time.

There are still many doubts.

But judging from Mr. Obito's words and deeds, there may be many ways of living for ninjas?
A week passed, and the big ship finally entered the waters of the Snow Country, and the white warm cloak purchased in advance was finally taken out of the box.

"Amazing! Is this the Land of Snow? It's still July, but such a large piece of floating ice...is like a moving iceberg!" Naruto lay beside the boat, The scenery cheered up and roared.

Of course, Naruto wasn't the only one who was so excited.

It is also the first time for many crew members to visit this country covered by ice and snow all year round.

Looking at the white ice and snow world in front of my eyes, feeling the cold wind blowing across my face like a knife, breathing heat visible to the naked eye, and snowflakes slowly falling from the sky... all Everyone sincerely understands what the Land of Snow is.

but,

Obito standing at the bow rubbed his eyebrows in distress.

"Forgive me! Isn't it just a C-level mission, why did such an incredible guy appear..." The scarlet eyes opened, and saw the fat figure standing on the iceberg in the distance , saw the extremely powerful Chakra.

"Mr. Director."

Obito walked up to the director, who was smoking a pipe, "Although I hate this kind of job of delivering bad news...but I have to tell you that we are being targeted by some amazing guy."

"Your Excellency Obito, is it very dangerous?"

The director traveled all over the world to make films, and he was also a person who had seen big scenes, so he was not intimidated by Obito's words.

"I don't understand the other party's intentions yet...just to be on the safe side, we still have to prepare for the worst."

Obito said in a low voice.

The director understood, gave up the preparations for filming here, and asked some crew members to go back to the cabin, and he stayed on the deck with a few bold photographers to observe the situation.

The merchant ship moved forward slowly, getting closer to the moving iceberg.

As the distance approached, Obito finally saw clearly the face of the man standing on the iceberg. He looked like a round-headed shark, with long orange-red hair hanging down to his waist, and a strangely shaped sword on his back. Broadsword········································································································ by the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost, one of the seven members of the former ninja swordsmen.

Obito knew this man.

Not only because of his status as an S-rank rebel, but also because his friend Kakashi once suffered a lot from this guy, and he still has a grudge about it. He has never given up looking for the watermelon mountain puffer ghost all these years The whereabouts, but unfortunately there has been no harvest.

"Are you actually hiding in the Snow Country?"

Obito's face turned serious.

He noticed that the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost was not alone, and there were three Xueren wearing strange armor and forehead guards beside him.

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sai, cheer up and get ready...to fight!" Obito ordered, his scarlet eyes fixed on the Puffer Ghost on the watermelon mountain.
