Hearing the exclamations outside the door, Zhang Miao immediately turned around and found that Yugao had already arrived at some point in time. She was staring at Shikahisa and the others with wide eyes.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao was stunned at first, but he immediately reacted and grinned at Yugao.
"Hehe, in fact, they just arrived. The Hokage-sama was worried about us, so he asked them to follow us!"
"Is that so?" Hearing Zhang Miao's explanation, a trace of doubt flashed through Yugao's eyebrows. "But... even if the Hokage sama is worried, he shouldn't have sent the legendary Ino-Shika-Cho trio here, right?"
"About that..."
Just when Zhang Miao didn't know how to explain, Shikahisa immediately came forward and smiled at Yugao.
"Actually, it's like this. Initially, the Hokage sama only sent Choza over. I came to the Land of Waves to find a medicinal herb, so I joined. As for Inoichi, he has other tasks on him, so I can't tell you!"
Shikahisa explained with a straight face, and his expression was very natural. Adding on the preconceived concept, Yugao immediately believed it.
"Oh, so it's like that. Eh? Choza-san, what happened to you? Are you injured?"
Hearing Yugao's cry of surprise, Zhang Miao quickly turned around and found that Choza was still kneeling on the ground. He immediately felt bad.
But before he could speak, he heard Shikahisa sigh.
"Sigh... We encountered an attack from the Kumo ninjas on the way here. Although we successfully repelled them, when Choza used the his Expansion, one of Kumo ninjas' kunai injured his knee.
Zhang Miao: "... "
"F*ck, could this be the Naruto version of "I took an arrow to the knee"?"
In Zhang Miao's opinion, Shikahisa's explanation was full of negatives. He immediately shook his head in his heart.
If Choza, who had used the Art of Expansion, was injured by a mere kunai, he would have been turned into a hedgehog long ago. Only a fool would believe this kind of lie!
Just as Zhang Miao thought of this, Yugao's slightly nervous voice sounded again.
"Choza-san is injured? Is it serious? Did the Kumo ninjas smear some poison on that kunai?"
Zhang Miao, "..."
"D*mn it, how could she just believed all of that?!"
Hearing Yugao's words, Zhang Miao could not help but roll his eyes, while Shikahisa laughed and waved at Yugao.
"There is no poison, but he immediately traveled here, so the wound is a little painful. I will help him deal with it!"
Speaking of this, Shikahisa stepped forward to hold one of Chobu's hands, and then raised his chin to Inoji.
"Inoichi, come and help me. Help Choza to the room next door. I can't hold him up alone!"
"Oh... okay!"
Hearing Shikahisa's words, Inoji immediately reacted. He quickly stepped forward to hold Choza's other hand and then the two helped him out of the room.
Originally, Yugao was going to help, but Zhang Miao quickly pulled her.
"Choza-san's leg is injured. He might need to take off his pants later. A girl like you shouldn't see that!"
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Yugao thought about it and nodded.
"Okay, I know. Eh... Who is this?"
When Zhang Miao heard Yugao say "huh", he immediately remembered that Kasaki was still in the room. He immediately cried out in his heart, "Shit."
However, when he turned around, he found that Kasaki had already put on the mask of the Anbu at some point in time. It seemed that Yugao had not seen his true face.
Seeing this scene,
Only then did Zhang Miao relax and speak to Yugao.
"This is the partner from your sister's mission. His codename is 'Kasaki'. Don't ask about him. Let's go. It's rare opportunity to visit the Land of Waves. I'll take you to see the sea!"
With that, Zhang Miao grabbed Yugao's hand and brought her out of the house.
Just as she left the house, Yugao's surprised voice reached Zhang Miao's ears again.
"Eh?"
Now that Zhang Miao was a little nervous from Yugao's "huh", the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard her voice.
"What's wrong with you again?"
This time, Yugao did not answer Zhang Miao immediately. Instead, he stared at his face with wide eyes.
Seeing this scene, the corner of Zhang Miao's mouth twitched even more.
"Say something. You keep looking at me like that. Is there something on my face?"
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Yugao directly took out a mirror from his bosom and handed it to him. "Look at it yourself!"
Zhang Miao: ""... "
"Why are you taking your mirrors along for missions? Women are really something else..."
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao shook his head helplessly. As he took Yugao's mirror, he muttered.
"What's there to see? I don't believe that there will be... Huh?"
Through the reflection of the mirror, Zhang Miao was surprised to find that there was a dark blue diamond pattern on his originally smooth and delicate forehead!
After seeing this pattern, Zhang Miao, who was familiar with the symbol, immediately recognized it!
"The Byakugou Seal!"
The Byakugou Seal was a form of chakra storage, just like a reservoir to store up chakra. So that when needed, it could instantly replenish a large amount of chakra for the user.
The people who used the Byakugou Seal had a peculiar characteristic, which was that when the chakra storage in their body was full, a dark blue diamond pattern would form on their forehead.
This was like telling the master that the ammunition was ready, and you could open fire at any time!
In the Naruto plot, there were only three people who would use the Byakugou seal, namely the wife of the First Hokage, Uzumaki Mito, the granddaughter of the First Hokage, Tsunade, and her apprentice, Sakura. Because of the use of the Byakugou Seal, their foreheads had dark blue diamond patterns.
And now there was one more, and that was Zhang Miao.
Looking at the Byakugou Seal on his forehead in the mirror, Zhang Miao finally understood why Yugao was so surprised just now.
In fact, the shock in Zhang Miao's heart was no less than that of Yugao at this time, so he could not help but ask in his heart.
"System, what is the diamond-shaped pattern on my forehead? Is it a Byakugou Seal?"
"Yes!"
The system's answer was fast as always. As soon as Zhang Miao thought of it, it immediately answered.
"[The host has recruited a total of 3-star ninjas, two 5-star ninjas, and three 6-star ninjas. However, the host's current body can not accommodate so much chakra. In order to avoid the loss of chakra, the system automatically opened up the chakra storage for the host, which is the Byakugou Seal that the host said. If the host does not want it, the system can remove it! ]"
"Of course, this is a good S-rank item. Only a fool would want it gone!"
Looking at the Byakugou Seal on his forehead, Zhang Miao felt very happy in his heart. "I didn't expect that this would happen to me. System, I love you to death!"
"I'm sorry, this System is not gay!"
Zhang Miao, "..."
