Two days later, at the main gate of Konoha.
When Shiratori arrived late with a haggard look on its face, everyone was shocked.
"I say… Are you okay?"
Asuma felt a little strange when he saw Shiratori's face, which looked like he had kidney deficiency.
What have you been doing these two days?
"It's okay, I just have insomnia."
Shiratori stretched out his hands and rubbed his face hard, trying to wake himself up.
The task of escorting supplies this time was carried out by four teams. Except for the leader of the team, Shibi Aburame, the other three Jōnins were Suiten Sarutobi, a Jōnin from the Akimichi Clan, and a Jōnin from the Hyuga clan, whom he had met before.
The captain of this mission is Suiten Sarutobi.
He doesn't know the Hyuga clan's Jōnin, but he has heard of the Jōnin from the Akimichi clan.
The future young head of the Akimichi Clan and commander of the southeast camp, Choza Akimichi, an elite Jōnin of the Hidden Leaf Village and also Asuma's team leader.
Come to think of it, if he hadn't intervened, Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi would have been in the same team…
Forget it, as the saying goes, distance makes beauty. Maybe this way Asuma and Kurenai will confirm their relationship sooner.
He paid special attention to the four Jōnin, but as for the other team members, Shiratori just glanced at them casually and no longer cared about them… Wait!
Did something strange just flash by?
Shiratori paused, looked around again, and then fixed his gaze behind Suiten Sarutobi.
Shiratori: "…"
No, what the hell is this look of yours?
I've only heard of combing hair to look like an adult, but this is the first time I've seen someone comb their hair to look like a chicken, and it's a pink hair one…
Are you afraid that no one will pay attention to you on the battlefield? Do you think you are dying too slowly?
What's the difference between this and running naked on the battlefield to provoke…
If a fight breaks out, I will definitely stay away from you!
Feeling Shiratori's ambiguous gaze, the Chunin with a non-mainstream hairstyle behind Suiten shuddered.
"Ahem - Shiratori, everyone is waiting for you!" Shibi Aburame coughed lightly.
"Ohhh, sorry, sorry."
Shiratori hurried back to the team, but his mind was still thinking about the non-mainstream thing just now.
This thing… Why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?
"Now that everyone is here, let me explain the mission process."
Sarutobi Suiten glared at Asuma, who still wanted to talk to Shiratori, and seeing that the other party was unwilling to shut up under the intimidation of his eyes, he ignored him and began to speak to everyone.
The mission this time requires four ninja teams to complete together, which is to escort the second batch of supplies needed for the front line to the southeast camp. The mission deadline is within seven days. The supplies include food, medicine, tools, and some letters from ninjas.
Unlike the long procession of ox carts, horse carriages, and even carts that Shiratori had imagined, all the supplies were sealed in scrolls. A large number of scrolls were neatly stacked in boxes, and they had to carry them themselves.
This saved manpower and material resources and greatly shortened the time, but it posed a challenge to the physical strength of everyone, especially the Genin - each wooden box weighed forty kilograms.
Of course, this is relatively easy for Shiratori.
Because since he was three years old, Takiichi Senju had Shiratori carry huge solid wood or even stones for weight training… If you think about it carefully, he is really careless and is not afraid that his grandson will not grow tall…
After saying this, Suiten Sarutobi ordered everyone to carry the wooden boxes and head towards the southeast camp.
The escort team was led by a Hyuga clan, Jōnin, who was in charge of leading the way and reconnaissance.
Shibi's team was on the left, Choza's team was on the right, and Suiten Sarutobi was the captain, sitting in the rear, ready to provide support and command the battle at any time.
In this way, the group headed towards the southeast.
Time came five days later.
The Shinobi World is much larger than Shiratori imagined. Taking the backbone of each faction - the Chunin - as an example, it would take at least seven days for a Chunin to cross the Land of Fire at full speed.
Konoha is roughly located in the center of the Land of Fire, and it takes at least three days to reach any border from Konoha, assuming the journey is smooth and no emergencies occur.
If this is the case for the Chunin, what about the Genin?
Especially since Genin had to carry heavy objects and cross-country, the seven-day mission deadline was really cruel. Just look at the dead dog next to him…
"I—I—I can't do it."
Finally, it was time to rest. Asuma threw away the box and collapsed to the ground, his tongue still sticking out…
"Are you tired?"
Shiratori sat next to Asuma and raised his eyebrows at him, looking very mean.
"What do you think? Don't talk to me. Let me rest for a while…"
"Do you need help? Call me, brother Shiratori, and I'll help you."
"You're dreaming!"
Asuma held out his hand to Shiratori, making a universal friendly gesture.
"Brother Shiratori, please have some water." Kurenai handed the bottle of water to Shiratori.
"Brother Shiratori, please have dinner." Ibiki took out a bag of military ration pills.
Seeing Kurenai being so attentive to Shiratori, Asuma's eyes were blazing with fire, but in the end, he could only let out a weak snort.
There's nothing he can do; this guy is too perverted!
Along the way, Shiratori carried his own box on his back, with Kurenai's box slung over his right shoulder, and his free left hand was still helping Ibiki hold the box …
You are just a living beast! Donkey is not as capable as you!
Asuma felt that his three views were overturned. He knew that this guy had strong physical fitness, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous!
Shiratori took the water bottle with a smile, and then politely declined the military ration pills made by Ibiki himself.
He had eaten this thing three days ago and felt that his sense of taste had suffered a devastating blow.
He didn't know what shit tastes like, but he thought it wouldn't taste much worse than this…
Shiratori seriously suspected that these military pills were byproducts that Ibiki accidentally created while researching poisons…
"Buzz—"
A black shadow flashed past his eyes. It was a special insect cultivated by Shibi Aburame. It was extremely fast and was specially used for reconnaissance.
Shibi Aburamei reached out to catch the bug, carefully feeling the simple information it sent.
"Something happened."
He walked to Suiten Sarutobi's side and said in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
"There's something going on five kilometers to the northeast. My bug can only convey some simple information. It tells me… Blood. Lots of blood!"
Sarutobi Suiten turned and looked at the jōnin of the Hyuga clan.
"Byakugan!"
Hyuga's Jōnin used his Byakugan but then shook his head and said helplessly: "Sorry, it's too far away; it's beyond the range of my Byakugan."
"Then go and have a look."
Sarutobi Suiten didn't hesitate at all. After gathering the team, he rushed to the scene of the accident.
