"Why should we escort the ninjas of Amegakure Village..." Obito didn't want to leave. He had just established a relationship with his "Grand-Teacher" and was about to learn a few tricks from Jiraiya, but he was informed that he had to leave the camp and go on a mission.
We all came together, so why did Kakashi learn Wild Lion's Mane jutsu, Rin learned Needle Jizo, but I had nothing? After leaving the camp, Obito felt quite depressed.
"Who asked you to carry the stretcher, nya..." Takeshi said as he couldn't help but yawned. He was quite tired from messing with Jiraiya these past few days, but the results were quite fruitful.
In exchange for Hell Viewing Jutsu, He saved over two hundred more. It's a pity that today, he has to leave his points printer.So Uncomfortable!
"Everyone is so depressed. It's a good thing to go on missions. Everyone makes money." Minato came back with the mission report.
"Sensei, what's the specific situation?" Kakashi is more concerned about the mission itself, because he is already proficient with the Wild Lion's Mane jutsu. He needs to gradually get more familiar with it and further develop it later, and strive to achieve the one-handed seal.
"This ninja from Amegakure Village was originally lurking in Iwagakure Village to collect intelligence. He was discovered by Iwagakure Village and fled all the way to our Konoha border and was rescued by us. So our mission is to escort him to complete the handover with Amegakure Village." Minato passed the information over.
After the Second Ninja War, Amegakure Village chose to form an alliance with Konoha. Now that the alliance has passed a few years, Konoha and them are in the honeymoon period. It is normal for Konoha to spend abit of manpower and material resources to help them and vice versa.
Takeshi glanced at mission scroll and saw words such as "escort" and "exchange of information" written on it. Obviously, their team's mission was not only to escort, but also to obtain information collected from Amegakure Village. As for the information in the hands of the mission target, it is estimated that the people in Konoha have already obtained it.
Rin came just now. She brought a new medical kit, which contained not only simple first aid equipment, but also some antidote pills, etc., all given by the ninjas in the medical team. Takeshi took a look and jumped in the medical kit. Just the correct size for him!
"If you are so lazy, be careful you will become a fat cat in the future. Many cats in our clan have gained weight like this." Obito ran away after saying this. Takeshi would definitely be retaliated for saying this, but he couldn't help it... Cute kitten, he doesn't want to become an ugly, mean, lazy fat cat in the team in the future! He ran very fast, but...
"Meow!" With a scream, tufts of long and tough cat fur flew from behind and tied him up, making him unable to move for an instant.
"Ah ah ah, Sensei, Rin, please save me!" Obito shouted. After a burst of noise, the team was filled with happy laughter. Not long after, everyone saw the mission target.
"Hello, we will escort you this time." Minato walked up to the man.
"You? Genin Team?" The ninjas from Amegakure Village frowned. They are not far from Amegakure Village, at most an hour's journey. The key is that the passage is through an area where Iwagakure Village may be active. In terms of task difficulty, it is at least B level. This kind of mission is so difficult that a Genin squad is required to carry it out. Is Konoha so short of manpower now?
"Although our class has just been formed, the strength within the team is not weak and we are definitely capable of performing this task." Minato explained with a smile. Normally, it is indeed not their turn to take such mission, but the current situation is tense.
Sunagakure's side has just retreated, and Onoki is standing still, others can't figure out what he is planning. Apart from him, there is really no other Danger. Of course, if Jiraiya was in charge for issuing this mission, they would definitely not be going, but it was Orochimaru who issued the order.
"I became a Chunin three years ago." Kakashi said coldly.
"Since you think it can be done, then let's go. Anyway, with Minato here, we can complete the mission no matter what." The ninja of Amegakure Village said calmly.
"You!" Obito was annoyed. Doesn't this mean that some of them may die? Who are you looking down on?
"Obito..." Rin pulled his sleeve.
"Let's go." Minato didn't care about these little things. After experiencing the atmosphere on the battlefield, he believed that his students could take on this task. Although Kakashi was a bit difficult to control, if there was Takeshi, Obito and Rin's safety.
Officially starting the mission. Everyone ran in a hurry and concentrated their attention. No one wanted to be a member of the Memorial Stone, but it was even more difficult for Takeshi. He felt that even if he did die, he would not be able to go to the Memorial Stone. At most, he would get the Nohara family's memorial service.
Arriving outside a forest, Minato suddenly stopped and said a few words, and then everyone stopped, looked around and then looked back at Takeshi.
Others followed and looked over. The jungle here is dense, and there is only a narrow rope bridge in front, which is very suitable for ambush and interception.
"Takeshi, wake up!" Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Rin thought he had fallen asleep, so she squatted down and poked him with her finger...
"Meow?" Takeshi looked at them in confusion, and then looked at the lush vegetation in front of him. Life has finally dealt a blow to this little kitty! He was filled with grief and anger, and at the same time, he cautiously explored the jungle. His concentration was almost raised to the extreme, and he became quite alert.
Halfway through, Takeshi smelled a very light scent. Although it wasn't strong, it was definitely human.
"Meow!" After calling out warily, there was no movement inside. Takeshi knows that the other party will not expose himself easily, and if he wants to further grasp the enemy's position, he must get closer... It'll be okay! He took a deep breath, and then moved closer there step by step.
The smell became stronger and stronger, but at the same time he entered the opponent's attack range. After he got close enough, couple shurikens flew out from bushes, and at the same time, there was also a kunai with a Explosive Tag mixed in it.
'Damn, they have luxury of using a Explosive Tag on a cat? ' Takeshi wanted to curse, but he was very fast. In an instant, he kicked off his feet and turned sideways to avoid it. The hair on its body flew up into the air and caught the kunai with the Explosive Tag and then threw it back to its original owner.
"Be careful!"
"Exposed, retreat." Takeshi threw the Kunai with the Explosive Tag back to the position, and three or four ninjas quickly jumped up and changed positions.
Whoosh~ Minato and Kakashi immediately began to attack. Obito held a kunai to protect Rin and the mission target, but two of them looked at Takeshi when they took off, and threw a dozen shurikens along the way...
Hell Viewing Jutsu! The genjutsu that had just been exchanged for less than a day was activated, but Takeshi himself did not expect that the first use of it would be to use it against the enemy. The two people who were hit by the chakra quickly fell on the branch and stood still without moving. The next second, black cat hair bound them both.
"Caught, meow~"
"Well done Takeshi!" Minato arrived first and kicked the ones who were hit by the genjutsu towards Takeshi and Kakashi one by one. Kakashi slashed the opponent's throat without making any pause.
Damn, my points! Takeshi was extremely annoyed, but had no choice but to make a mental note, and then use all his strength to deal with another prey.
The man who was kicked here was not dead. The kick caused damage to his internal organs, but it was far from serious damage - it wasn't that Minato couldn't do it, he did it on purpose.
"Meow~ You are too weak to compete with me, Obito, fight him!"
"Damn it, don't underestimate me!" The enemy shouted angrily, got up and attacked Takeshi with a kunai.
As a Chunin, His physical skills are good, but compared to a cat's reaction speed and explosive speed, it is obviously not good enough.
Soon, there was a wound on his hand, and the cat took the opportunity to run behind him, jumped up, and aimed his claw at his leg. Takeshi's not fighting, he's just playing.
"This ninja cat of Konoha..." The ninja of Amegakure Village said half a sentence, but was stunned for a while and didn't know what to say. This cat looks small, but it seems to be quite strong. At least it is much more reliable than the young man next to him in green tights and goggles.
"Of course, the people in our team are very powerful." Obito said proudly.
"..." as long as you are happy. The ninja of Amegakure Village were silent for a long time, and chose to not refute, but continued to be on guard with his weapon.
