In Konoha, your attributes double every day!

"Is this all the vigilance you're taking? The person's gone, what's the point of being vigilant?"

Han Guang's angry shouts startled Rin and Kakashi awake.

Obito looked aggrieved but had no reason to refute.

He clearly remembered that when he took over the job, Minako was still on the oxcart.

However, I was too sleepy before dawn, so I secretly took a short nap.

Who would have thought that Minako would disappear just as dawn broke?

"Search separately!"

The four people ran in four different directions and began their search.

In the woods.

Han Guang didn't think he could reach Minako.

Because you're going in the wrong direction.

He guessed that Minako would most likely be in the east, because the east is the direction to the Land of Hot Springs.

Han Guang was searching for the north.

Han Guang froze as he parted a clump of dense grass.

at the same time.

Minako, who was crouching behind the bushes, was also stunned.

Ok

If Han Guang wasn't mistaken, Minako seemed to be... taking a dump?

Do you need some paper?

Chapter Eleven: Cold Light: Is there a problem with me personally protecting my employer?

The search for Minako turned out to be a false alarm.

soon.

The team set off again.

"It's very strange."

Following behind the oxcart, Han Guang stared at Minako's back, deep in thought.

This woman is acting very strangely.

"If it were a normal woman, she would at least scream if she encountered such an embarrassing situation in the morning."

"But this woman only paused for a moment."

"Her mental fortitude far surpasses that of ordinary people, and even surpasses that of many ninjas."

This is Han Guang's latest assessment of Minako.

Next.

He went through all the suspicious points about this woman again.

"First of all, someone who can open a bathhouse in Konoha must be an eloquent person. But she hardly said a word on the way."

"Secondly, there's her expression. Even Lin could see that she was worried, which showed that she was very concerned about her situation?"

"She has a strong mental fortitude, which means she has gone through a lot of hardship."

"But why doesn't she hide that expression?"

As Han Guang pondered more deeply, he was surprised to find that he had come up with more and more suspicious points.

If Minako was truly worried about her safety, why issue a Level 1 mission? Wouldn't it have been better to just issue an A-level mission?

In this way, a Jonin squad will take over directly.

You know, anyone who can afford to run a bathhouse in Konoha Village must be rich.

Han Guang spent the entire morning brainstorming.

Even during his short lunch break, he still had no clear clue.

In the afternoon.

As the team passed a stream, Minako spoke up, which was unusual for her.

"I'd like to wash up here."

As the employer, her reasonable requests were met.

All the boys in Class 9 left this place, leaving only Haruno Rin behind.

Under a big tree.

Kakashi and Obito appeared together and found Han Guang.

"I noticed you seemed to be thinking this morning? Did you make a discovery?" Kakashi asked, staring at Han Guang.

From the moment they set off in the morning, Kakashi noticed something unusual about Hanguang.

To be precise, this was the first time he had seen Han Guang seriously thinking.

What could I possibly discover?

Han Guang glanced at the other person and shook his head.

"So what were you thinking about this morning?"

"none of your business!"

Kakashi: "???"

Was Han Guang cursing himself just now?

How dare he!

“You’re the squad leader, yet you keep asking me questions, acting like I’m the captain.”

He muttered a sarcastic remark, then plucked a blade of grass and put it in his mouth.

"Well said! I've disliked him for a long time," Obito chimed in, joining his good friend on the same side.

Kakashi, aren't you a genius?

Can't you think of it yourself?

Why do you keep asking us losers?

"Different circles, don't force yourself to fit in! Hehe~~" Obito sat down next to Han Guang and uttered his classic quote.

This phrase was taught to me by Han Guang.

Watching Kakashi leave in defeat, Obito felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

When it comes to roasting someone, only a good brother like Han Guang can do it, and he roasted Kakashi until he was speechless.

Because of yet another conflict, the Ninth Class, which was on its way, was unusually quiet all afternoon.

until night.

It's time to summarize the daily tasks again.

Kakashi unfolded the map again and marked the location.

"At the current pace, we will enter the Land of Hot Springs in three more days."

"Given the cloudy weather today, I predict it will rain tomorrow. So we may have to stay put and rest tomorrow."

"Everyone should set up their resting place tonight."

After Kakashi finished speaking, Han Guang glanced at him in surprise.

Turns out this guy actually has some skills.

As is customary, it should be the teammates' turn to speak next.

Unfortunately, Kakashi used his captain's privilege to skip this step entirely.

"See? He's angry. He won't let us talk." Obito started to say sarcastically.

"Why is Kakashi angry?" Rin asked, her face full of confusion.

"It's all because I got slapped by Han Guang during the day, haha~~"

Han Guang made a mental note of Obito's blatant sabotage of their friendship.

You wait.

Just wait and see how I provoke you next time.

After a quick dinner, the team set up their rest area and built a simple canopy.

Next, Han Guang's mission began.
