I don't believe in the will of fire

Just like the characteristic of the Country of Rain is that it rains all year round throughout the country, the biggest characteristic of the Country of Rivers is that there are many rivers in the country, lying across the land of the Country of Rivers like dense spider webs.

The rainwater in the Land of Rain will collect into the rivers in the Land of Sichuan and finally flow into the sea.

After arriving in the Kingdom of Kawa, in order to prevent his identity from being exposed, Shenyue could not use flying birds to travel. He could only move forward on foot through dense forests and mountains using chakra.

As we get closer to the Kingdom of Wind, these rivers slowly dry up, leaving only dry river beds, like blood vessels, densely distributed on the earth.

According to the records on the scroll given by Orochimaru, Konoha's camp is located in the center of Kawa Country, next to a dry river bed. There are markers arranged in the surrounding dense forest to allow incoming ninjas to find the camp location.

But Shenyue doesn't need it. His perception ability allows him to easily find traces of chakra and then discover the location of the camp.

Especially after these few months of practice, the range of perception of his Kagura Mind Eye has expanded again. It has already exceeded ten kilometers and reached a range of more than twenty kilometers. It can also perceive in more detail, not only people, but also people.

He can also sense some ninja tools that contain chakra.

"found it!"

Soon Shenyue sensed traces of chakra, but he was stopped by the ninja responsible for the investigation not long after he left.

What surprised Shenyue was that another familiar person appeared in front of her.

“Hitsari!!!”

A figure appeared on the trunk of the dense forest, with long black hair shawl. The young white-eyed ninja was also stunned when his name was suddenly called.

"Who are you?"

Although the two have only been classmates for one year, and so many years have passed, both of them have changed a lot, but the red hair still made Hinata Hizashi recall the past and call out his

name.

"Shenyue, it's you!!!"

"It's me, I didn't expect to meet again!"

At this time, two ordinary ninjas appeared behind Hyuga Hizashi. They also asked curiously: "Hizashi, who is this kid? Do you know him?"

"Hmm."

The young Hinata almost nodded and replied: "He is a ninja in our village, his name is Shenyue."

"Shenyue!!!"

This name suddenly reminded the two ordinary ninjas of something.

"No...it can't be. Could it be that this boy is the boy who is said to have defeated the Iwa Ninja Jinchuuriki in the village?"

"It's actually smaller than us."

The two people looked at Shenyue in surprise, looking like they couldn't believe it.

Shenyue was also a little surprised.

"Am I so famous?"

"Of course." Hinata Hizashi said with memories and admiration on his face: "It has been spread throughout the village that you defeated the Four-Tails Jinchuuriki and prevented the outbreak of war, and you are the hero of the village."

But Hinata Hizashi's compliment did not make Shenyue happy, instead she frowned.

"Which show is this being played in?"

He can be sure that this was definitely not done by the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura. Otherwise, he would not have been sent here. Orochimaru should not have done such a boring thing. Could it be... Teacher Tie Yun?

If it is true, it seems that I owe more.

He had been trying hard to cut off the ties with some people in the village, so he pretended to be indifferent, but didn't he expect that he still owed more and more?

In this way, Shenyue also somewhat figured out the reason why she was sent to the Kingdom of Sichuan.

"Are you planning to take action against yourself? But your sudden rise in reputation caught them by surprise, so they sent you here? It seems like you have to hurry up."

——————

Now that it was confirmed that he was a ninja from the village, it would be much easier to handle, so Hizashi asked directly.

"Shenyue, are you here under the orders of Lord Hokage?"

"Um."

"Wait a minute, I'll go confirm."

I saw Hizashi leaving, and after a while, I saw him come back and said, "Follow me, Sakumo-sama is waiting for you."

"wait for me!?"

Although confused, Shenyue did not ask any more questions. Soon, Konoha's camp appeared in Shenyue's field of vision. However, it was indeed a bit shabby. Apparently most of the power was transferred to the battlefield of Yu Ninja Village.

, it can be known from perception that there are less than five hundred ninjas left here, and the number of chakras that have reached the level of jounin is less than one finger.

What surprised him was that as soon as he entered the camp, he met an acquaintance holding a large spoon and cooking in a pot.

"Captain Shenyue! I didn't expect to see you again."

"Are you here too, Dai? What about Yuko, Hana and the others?"

Matt Dai was obviously a little excited and replied excitedly: "The three of us are here. I didn't expect to be here and see you, captain."

"That's good, but why are you cooking?"

Matt Dai said with some embarrassment: "Because I don't know ninjutsu, I was not assigned to the combat team and stayed in the logistics team. However, one of them is in the combat team and the other is in the medical team."

"..."

Shenyue didn't know what to say. Although he was not sure which of the eight gates of Dunjia Dai was currently practicing, he, who had been Dai's captain for a while, could definitely sense that Dai was already practicing in the eight gates.

A Dunka person is more than capable of being a chuunin, but now he is sent to be a genin who cooks pots.

Perhaps it's because the Eight Gate Dunjia is not a secret technique of Konoha.

Yes, during his stay in Konoha, he also inquired around and around, that there was no Eight Gate Dunjia among Konoha's forbidden arts, so it was obvious...

However, it was obvious that this was not the time to chat. Seeing Hizashi hesitate to speak, Shenyue said directly.

"We'll talk later. I'm going to see Lord Sakumo first."

"Yeah, Captain Shenyue, I'll see you later."

The camp here in Konoha Village is not big, so after walking a few steps, Hizashi brought Shenyue to Sakumo's tent, and after letting Shenyue go in by himself, he left.

Shenyue walked in and there was only a white-haired man inside, looking down at the photo with a hint of blush on his face.

After seeing someone come in, Hatake Sakumo coughed twice, nervously put away the photo, and raised his head.

This is the second time Shenyue has met Hatake Sakumo, but there are obviously many changes since the first meeting.

If when they first met, Sakumo was as cold as a knife, at this moment Sakumo smiled very gently.

"You came."

"Sakumo-sama!"

"There's no need to be so polite, and there's no need to call me sir. I've already heard about you on the battlefield in Rain Ninja Village. You're really powerful. This time, Hokage-sama asked you to come here to help me."

Sakumo said, taking out a package from the table.

"This is the appointment scroll and jounin uniform given to you by the Third Generation. From today on, you will be the jounin in the village. We are considered equals. Someone will take you to your camp later."

"Jounin?!" Shenyue took the package with a surprised expression.

"That's right, because of your performance in the Rain Ninja Village, you were promoted to Jonin under special circumstances. Now you are the youngest Jonin in the entire village, and even in the entire ninja world."

Sakumo obviously welcomes the arrival of Shenyue, at least on the surface he is very enthusiastic.

"Haha, this can be regarded as resolving my urgent need. Because most of the combat power has been transferred to the Rain Ninja Village, I am very short of manpower here. There are not many jounin left who are good at fighting. Although Sand

The Hidden Village is the same as us, the main force is fighting against the Rain Ninja Village, but after all, they face less pressure, and there are still a lot of Jonin left. The friction between the two of us has been constant these days, and I have

I haven't had a good rest for several days, and with you here, I can finally feel less stressed."

And as if to confirm Sakumo's words, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of jingling bells ringing outside.

Sakumo's face turned dark instantly.

"These guys are here again..."
