Chapter 152 Challenge
In that instant, Hyuga Hizashi wished he could turn back time; he would never have rushed to express his gratitude to Shingetsu Nebula.
He swore to the Sage of Six Paths that he did not want to avoid the battle, nor was he afraid of danger.
If he could, he would rather undertake more dangerous missions.
However, now, faced with Shingetsu Nebula's 'enthusiastic invitation' and Tsunade's gaze, he could only sigh inwardly and reluctantly agree.
"No problem... Brother Nebula!"
With the task force selected and the objectives outlined, Tsunade and the others began to study the specific details.
How to deploy troops, how to allocate personnel, and how to strictly guard against and control the news of Jiraiya's arrival on the southwestern front, ensuring that there is no leak in the slightest, etc.
The deployment inside the main tent continued until late at night. Under the cover of darkness, detailed and meticulous tactical plans were issued one after another. Before dawn, the ninjas had already eaten in the dark and began to secretly coordinate their operations.
After dawn.
Everything seemed normal at Konoha's camp, except for two figures who swaggered out of the camp and headed straight for Sunagakure's camp.
"Brother Hizashi, why aren't you saying anything?" Hizashi Hyuga, who had been silent the whole way, asked.
Are you unhappy?
Hyuga Hizashi said, "No, I'm just scouting ahead." With that, he activated his Byakugan, his gaze scanning the area ahead like radar. After finding no enemy ambushes or traps, he continued forward with Shingetsu Nebula.
"That's good." Shenyue Xingyun said, "I thought you didn't want to go on a mission with me, Brother Richi."
Hyuga Hizashi's lips twitched, and he said, "How could that be?"
“I’d be very happy to go on a mission with Brother Xingyun.”
If it weren't for delivering a swimsuit to an old lady!
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked about the moon and nebula.
"Nebula, don't you think the plan is a bit too simplistic?"
"What if we fail to lure Chiyo out? Will that waste Jiraiya-sama's time?"
"Actually, I don't know either," said Shenyue Xingyun. "I just casually offered my opinion yesterday."
"I never thought Lady Tsunade would actually agree."
Hyuga Hizashi's expression froze.
Just a suggestion?
You're being way too casual.
Just as he was internally complaining, Shingetsu Seiun said again, "But Jiraiya-sama personally prepared the swimsuit, so he seems quite confident."
"Perhaps he's very confident."
"We'll just be responsible for carrying it out."
Hinata almost nodded.
At times like these, there's no need to worry too much; just get to work.
Before long, led by Hyuga Hizashi, the two bypassed several sentry posts and trap zones and successfully arrived in front of the Sunagakure camp.
Smoke curled faintly from the campsite, and Hyuga Hizashi looked at Shingetsu Seiun with a slightly tense expression.
"Brother Nebula, are you ready?"
"Ready? Are you?"
"I'm fine with it too."
The two looked at each other and nodded, then looked towards the direction of the Sand Village camp. Shingetsu Seiun took a deep breath and then shouted with encouragement.
"Chiyo!!!"
"You...%¥# old hag! Hurry up and..."
Chapter 153 Happy Asuma
Three minutes later, the two Sand Village ninjas, one seriously injured and the other slightly wounded, both losing an arm, hurriedly retreated to their camp.
Hyuga Hizashi and Shingetsu Seiun calmed their rapid breathing, quickly replenished their rations, and once they felt their strength had recovered somewhat, they began challenging Sunagakure again.
The criticism was mainly directed at Chiyo. Their strategy was: if Sunagakure sent out more than two skilled fighters, they would run; if it was less than two, they would fight.
As time went on, Sunagakure stopped sending people out.
Looking at the quiet Sunagakure camp, Shingetsu Seiun turned to Hyuga Hizashi: "What should we do? Should we keep yelling?"
Hyuga Hizashi: "I think it's about time. Sunagakure shouldn't send anyone. What do you think?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "I think you're right."
Hyuga Hizashi: "Then you should send over the 'gift' that Jiraiya prepared."
Shenyue Xingyun: "You have shadow clones, I don't. You can give them to me."
Hyuga Hizashi: "..." He was very skeptical that someone with Shingetsu Seiun's strength wouldn't be able to create shadow clones.
He shook his head and used his Shadow Clone Technique to deliver the exquisite gift box prepared by Jiraiya to Sunagakure.
Shingetsu Seiun shouted, "This is Tsuna...this is a gift from our Hokage to old lady Chiyo!"
"The Hokage said that ninjas who don't even dare to fight should just go home and enjoy their retirement!"
The shadow clone was dealt with by the Sand Village ninja before it could get close to the Sand Village camp, and the exquisite gift box fell to the ground.
The people of Sunagakure did not dare to make a decision on their own. After confirming that there was no danger, they sent someone to take the gift box away.
……
In the dense forest, beneath a thick layer of dead leaves, figures lay in ambush.
Some of them showed their eyes, while others hid their entire bodies in shadow, even slowing their breathing as much as possible.
They are Konoha's ambush troops.
Within headquarters, almost all of the elite troops were deployed, divided into four battalions. Each battalion was accompanied by at least one Hyuga ninja to scout and ensure the team's safety.
At that moment, among the ambushing troops, a rough figure covered in leaves moved silently.
"Hong, are you hungry?"
"I brought some dry food, would you like some?"
Beside her, Kurenai Yuhi, carefully concealing herself, shook her head slightly.
I'm not hungry.
After a while, Sarutobi Asuma asked again, "Are you thirsty? I brought some water."
"Not thirsty."
Are you cold...?
“Asuma.” Kurenai’s brows furrowed slightly. “I don’t need anything.”
"Oh~" Sarutobi Asuma closed his mouth somewhat disappointedly.
Actually, he didn't really think that Kurenai was thirsty or hungry; he just wanted to say a few words to her.
Everyone was lying in ambush, and in order not to make too much noise, they needed to get very close to each other when they spoke.
He really enjoyed the feeling of whispering next to Kurenai, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her, and feeling her breath on his face; he felt wonderful.
'No one has ever been this close to Hong as I have,' he thought contentedly.
After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Asuma couldn't resist wanting to talk to Kurenai Yuhi again. He moved closer and was about to speak when Kurenai Yuhi spoke first.
"Nebula must be in great danger right now!"
Sarutobi Asuma paused for a moment, then a jealous look appeared on his face.
It wasn't just because Hong missed the other person, but also because of the other person's strength.
A challenge to Chiyo! And this was right in front of the Sunagakure camp. Just hearing the name of this mission, you know that only a highly skilled ninja could complete it.
The other person is about the same age as me, although I am two years older because I repeated a grade, I can only be considered a young adult.
Being able to carry out this kind of mission with a renowned Jonin like Hyuga Hizashi is something to be proud of.
"Don't worry, Kurenai," Sarutobi Asuma said. "Hyuga Hizashi is a renowned expert from the Hyuga branch family. With him here, there will be no danger."
"Hmm." Kurenai Yuhi nodded. "Besides, Nebula's strength shouldn't be weak either. I was overthinking it."
'Nebula's strength is not weak either~' Sarutobi Asuma pursed his lips, muttering to himself.
'That guy, he actually got ahead!'
Sarutobi Asuma had mixed feelings.
During his school years, he never took the other person seriously. When they first formed a team after graduation, he was quite resistant to them. Later, he discovered that the other person was actually a little bit stronger than him.
He is confident that he can surpass his opponent in a short time!
But later, as the team's relationship improved, Shen Yue Xingyun's strength also increased.
Not only did he become a special Jonin before him, but his swordsmanship was so outstanding that it was known to everyone on the southwestern front.
He often couldn't sleep at night because of his envy, and sometimes he would dream of his mastery of dual swordsmanship and the magnificent scene of being a powerful figure in the ninja world.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that he seemed a little lost in thought, Kurenai asked softly.
"I wasn't thinking about anything," Sarutobi Asuma replied, placing his twin swords in front of him.
Even though the same Jonin is leading the team, and I have the advantage of my family background, how come I'm so far behind the other party?
Did Misaka-sensei secretly give the other person extra tutoring?
Or is it that dual swords are simply inferior to a longsword?
No!
Two is definitely better than one! Dual swords should be more powerful than a longsword!
Could it be... because my sword is too short?
