Chapter 100: Someone Actually Dared to Squat in the Bushes ?
After the meal, Hinata seemed to have regained her confidence, she put on a relaxed smile.
Although this meal cost most of Ryosuke's pocket money, he felt it was worth it.
When they left the private room, they just happened to see Uchiha Sasuke and Mizuki enter another private room. Although only the back was shown, the only one who still carries the clan emblem in Konoha is Uchiha Sasuke.
"When did they get together?"
While returning the money, Ryosuke looked at Hinata beside him with confusion and asked. He originally wanted to say 'hook up,' but that didn't seem right.
"Since their fight that day, Mizuki-sensei has been in regular contact with Sasuke." Hinata thought for a moment and replied, "When youasked for leave and didn't come to school the next day, and Uchiha Sasuke seemed very angry. But later, Mizuki-sensei went to find him,since then they often move together. It seemed that... Mizuki-sensei was guiding Sasuke's training alone."
Hearing her say this, Ryosuke finally remembered. When he saw Uchiha Sasuke just now, he seemed to be a little dirty, with many scars and blood, as if he had just been through a battle.
Perhaps that's why he will graduate early.
Although Mizuki's talent is not high, he is also a veteran Chunin. With his individual guidance and practical experience, it is not difficult for Uchiha Sasuke to graduate successfully. But Ryosuke shook his head and didn't think much about it.
Destiny is not so easy to see through, and many things are not so easy to guess. What the Byakugan saw, the scene of Uchiha Sasuke with his Susanoo and destroying Konoha, had a huge impact on him. Ryosuke couldn't help but think about anything related to Sasuke in this direction.
But in reality, everything is still pending. The trajectory of destiny can also change...
The next morning, it was still dark.Hizashi and the Konoha team gathered at the village entrance and set out for the Land of Waves. And Ryosuke quietly left the village under the worried gaze of Hiashi.
He was not in the team, nor was he on the travel list, but was secretly following behind them. There is no worry about being exposed, just like every gourmet is inevitably a good chef.
Ryosuke himself is proficient in sensory, so he has also inadvertently acquired remarkable attainments in anti-reconnaissance and tracking and concealment. In the team, since Hinata is the best perception ninja, there are no additional specialized perception ninjas. Although some people also learn the techniques of perception, they are not proficient in it.
Since all the Hyugas in charge of reconnaissance in the team are Ryosuke's men, under such circumstances, it is not difficult for him to stay far behind the team.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
The sound of breaking air rang out in the dense forest, and one black shadow after another leaped among the branches like black bats. All members are at the level of Chunin or above, so the Konoha delegation is not traveling slowly.
Now, Hizashi and the others have to first meet up with the delegation from the Land of Fire, and then go to the Land of Waves together. And not long after that, the Konoha delegation arrived.
Dozens of dark shadows appeared again. These black shadows wear masks and special ninja vests. They are the Anbu of Konoha. They will serve as a hidden force to secretly protect this team traveling to a foreign country.
Following closely behind the Konoha Anbu were people whose directions were unclear and who were from which village. Their attire is similar to that of Konoha's Anbu, but the masks on their heads are obviously different from those of Konoha's Anbu, and there is no mark indicating which village's power they belong to.
"The roots..."
Ryosuke was at the very end of the team and could see everyone clearly. Although his own strength is only that of a Chunin, he still lacks a lot of combat experience. But with his Byakugan after its second transformation, his strength has already surpassed that of a jonin. One has to admit that this bloodline is still excellent.
A good background can overwhelm most people from the start.
I didn't expect…the Anbu and the Root could actually cooperate. This is quite rare.
Ryosuke was a little surprised by this scene. Judging from the information collected by Hyuga, Danzo Shimura still attaches great importance to the Root in his hands and is unwilling to give it to Sarutobi Hiruzen at all. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen could remove him from his position as the leader of the Root with just one word, that is just a position. Whoever sits on it, the people in the Root will always obey only Danzo Shimura.
Therefore, from this point, it can be seen that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo should have reached a consensus on the alliance and are willing to cooperate in this mission.
"It looks like this time... we really can't avoid a war."
Ryosuke calmed down and had already anticipated the small-scale war that was about to break out. There are four forces in Konoha alone. There is the Konoha delegation in the open, the Anbu and Root in secret, and Ryosuke alone. The total number of people has exceeded one hundred, and they are all backbone forces above the level of Chunin. Among them there are more than a dozen senior ninjas.
Such a force is obviously intended for war. No small or medium-sized ninja village can withstand the impact of this team. Not to mention, there is a delegation from theLand of Fire following behind. When they arrive at the Land of Waves, representative teams and ninjas from several countries will gather together. If they fail to reach an agreement, an island like the Land of Waves may be sunk directly due to the outbreak of war. Not to mention, there may be forces outside the alliance that have noticed this action and will get involved.
"Something's wrong up ahead."
While Ryosuke was following and thinking deeply, the team in front stopped suddenly. After traveling for less than half a day, on a mountain road that they had to pass through to reach the Land of Waves, Hyuga Hizashi suddenly spoke up and stopped the entire team.
The hidden force behind them, namely the Anbu and the Root, had joined forces and took a detour to rush ahead of them.
He couldn't keep his Byakugan open all the time. Since the journey was relatively peaceful and they had just set out, Ryosuke temporarily closed his Byakugan to reduce chakra consumption after confirming his position and the distance between the team. But now... it seems that this team was targeted just after leaving the village.
From Ryosuke's perspective, he could clearly see that at the other end of the mountain trail, people wearing ninja vests and masks of the Hidden Mist Village Anbu were hiding in the cracks of the trail. It seemed like a plan to launch a surprise attack on them.
Knowing that there are Hyuga ninjas in the team, do they still dare to launch a sneak attack? Ryosuke tilted his head and touched his chin, somewhat puzzled by the behavior of this group of Mist Shadow Anbu. Based on the information he had seen, that is, past war history, whether it was the First Ninja World War or subsequent wars, other countries, when facing the Konoha team and the presence of the Hyuga clan, would basically choose a faster frontal assault rather than a sneak attack.
It's really... hard to understand. Ryosuke leaned against a big tree with his arms folded, looking ahead quietly. The ninjas from the Anbu and Root joined forces to attack the Mist Shadow Anbu team that was preparing for a sneak attack.
