In the starlit morning, the pale sky carries a biting chill.
Hanyu and his team have gathered at the gate of Konoha.
"Everyone is here, let's go now, the target is the front line of Kawanokuni, the action time limit is set within three days." After scanning all the team members, Hanyu gave the order to go. At this time, no one would "get lost on the road of life". Even the slightest delay in the mission is an unforgivable crime for a ninja.
Apart from the ninjas on duty at the village entrance, no one else came to see them off, and there was no sentimental farewell... In Konoha, such small expeditions were happening every moment.
A battlefield where life and death are unknown is of course worrying, but we have long been accustomed to it, and... is there really anyone who is worried about Hanyu ?
Maybe there is.
After leaving the village in the morning, the Hanyu team's speed was not very fast, and it could even be said that it was neither fast nor slow. This was not because Hanyu was lazy, but because after arriving at the Kingdom of Rivers, they would most likely be thrown into battle immediately. If they hurried at a reckless speed, they would have to fight with exhausted bodies, which would undoubtedly greatly increase the possibility of failure in the battle. Therefore, if there was enough , it was not a smart idea to rush at full speed anyway.
The team moved forward at a steady pace. After seven hours, they stopped to rest for a while, and then continued on their journey until evening. After completing today's marching plan, they stopped at a designated location to rest and replenish their strength.
Nara Nagisa handed a bowl full of hot soup to the other three people and said, "Everyone, have something hot to eat. If we go further, we probably won't have the chance to enjoy such food. You know, the food supplies for the ninjas on the front line are all soldier pills."
Because of the weather, hot things always taste better than cold things.
"soldier pills? That's not bad. I think the taste is OK." Hanyu reached out to take the bowl and said this... It sounded a bit like he was arguing.
"Captain, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your taste buds?" Nara Nagisa found it hard to believe Hanyu's answer, and the same went for the other two. They couldn't believe that anyone would think that the soldier pills tasted good.
It's edible, but the taste is terrible.
Hanyu shook his head without further explanation. He sincerely thought that the soldier pills tasted pretty good, but that didn't mean there was anything wrong with his taste buds... If someone else was tortured by the incremental and enhanced version of the Thousand Hands Secret Medicine for three consecutive months like he was, they would also feel that the Bingliang Pills tasted good.
You might even think that soldier pills is a delicacy, the kind that you won't get tired of even if you eat it for several months.
The three subordinates looked at each other, and at this time they finally realized that their captain seemed a little...special. Well, to put it in a nice way, he should be described as special.
In fact, there must be something wrong with his sense of taste. For example, the bowl of soup in his hand now has good color, aroma and flavor, but he feels that it has no flavor when he eats it... I don't know what the original Senju Medicine is like, but the feeling that Hanyu feels when he eats it is particularly exciting.
More importantly, he has now reached the "second course of treatment". The good change is that the dosage of medicine used is no longer as exaggerated as before when he took it as a meal. He only needs to put one pill in his mouth every day. The bad change is that Sansho is obviously a "pragmatist". The secret medicine she makes only cares about the efficacy and not the taste. At the same time, the better the efficacy, the worse the taste.
The only thing to be happy about is that Hanyu's efforts have paid off, and the effect of the secret medicine is obvious. Although he has been a ninja for a short time, Hanyu can guarantee that his chakra amount is definitely higher than that of his teammates.
The only price was a terrible taste and temporary taste problems, then the exchange was definitely worth it.
"Next, Yasanagi and Renjuro, you should take time to rest. Nara and I will be on guard in the first half of the night, and you will switch in the second half." After quickly eating, Hanyu made this arrangement.
Compared to the last time he traveled at night, this time was undoubtedly much safer, after all, this was the hinterland of the Land of Fire, not the border. But because of what happened last time, Hanyu naturally became more cautious... Besides, it was normal for ninjas on the march to set up sentries at night.
The few people had no objection to this arrangement. After hearing the order, Yasanagi moved her body and half leaned against a big tree. Then she covered herself with a thin felt blanket and lay down in her clothes, with her weapon placed next to her.
Renjuro simply lay down on the withered grass on the other side.
The physical fitness of ninjas is indeed different from that of ordinary people. If they were civilians, if they camped in the wilderness in such a winter, there would be no other result except being frozen into a hard corpse.
"It's a rare weapon, isn't it?" Nara Nagisa said this when she saw Hanyu looking towards Yasanagi.
"Well, a little... retro." Hanyu calmly withdrew his gaze, without even a hint of embarrassment at others after being discovered... Just now, it would be more accurate to say that he was looking at her face rather than her weapon.
There was nothing special about it, except that she was less coquettish. Hanyu felt that Yasanagi looked a bit like a girl who left a deep impression on him in his childhood in his previous life - a beautiful girl named Tomie who had a very pretty smile.
"I think I have met her before." Then he said this. However, this time Hanyu was not talking about the past life, but he felt that he should have met Yasanagi on the night he stayed in Konoha Hospital a few months ago... For no other reason, just because the weapon in Yasanagi's hand was a little special.
That's a bow.
Bows and arrows are not the mainstream weapons . As mentioned before, ninjas are a profession that places great emphasis on agility. Objectively, this attribute leads to extremely low killing efficiency of flying props such as shuriken, thrown kunai, and bows and arrows.
Unless it is a surprise attack, it is easy to dodge ninja tools thrown from a long distance; but if there is a good opportunity for a sneak attack, why use flying props?
Not to mention ordinary flying props, even if some people shoot the Kagutsuchi, is the hit rate really high?
Therefore, bows and arrows have long been out of the ninja's combat arena. It is quite objective that Hanyu has given Yasanagi's weapon a "retro" evaluation. Ninjas are assassins, not archers.
However... Hanyu turned his attention to Nagisa. Although the bow and arrow is a very awkward weapon, if there are people from the Nara clan in the team, then Yasanagi's room for performance will be completely different from the normal situation... Ninjas are very flexible, and shooters have problems with hit rate, but if the team has strong control, it is another matter.
"Were you in the same team as Yasanagi before?" Thinking of this, Hanyu asked Nara again, but the information he got showed that the two should not have been teammates in the same team before.
Nara shook his head and said, "Not really, but we knew each other before. I have cooperated with Yasanagi in some missions... Actually, when we returned to the village this time, we were supposed to be promoted to Chunin, but we were told at the last minute that we were assigned to a new team."
"…" This is something Hanyu had never known before.
I originally thought that everyone was a Genin, but it turned out that the other party was forcibly suppressed to a lower level... Teacher Sansho, this is really a privilege.
"This probably has something to do with me. If it weren't for me, you would have already become Chunin." After thinking about it, Hanyu told the truth.
"Although you are the captain, the formation of the new team is not up to you." Nara still shook his head. What he said did make sense. Hanyu could not make the decision on such matters. However, what Nara didn't know was that although Hanyu could not make the decision, Sansho could.
Nara continued, "Even if it's because of you that our promotion to Chunin is delayed, it doesn't matter. On the battlefield, there is no difference between Chunin and Genin. There is only a difference between surviving ninjas and dying in battle."
Nara didn't seem to care whether he could become a Chunin in time. Compared to the situation later when Genin clamored to become Chunin, the Konoha ninjas who walked off the battlefield at this time didn't particularly care about such things, for no other reason than that war and killing made them numb. So what if they were Chunin, would their survival rate on the battlefield be much higher than Genin?
That's right, it doesn't matter if you don't get promoted to Chunin. The situation in Konoha is a little special. The abilities and levels are the opposite. It's easy for Jonin to be evenly matched, but Genin are often the strongest... Hanyu endured such complaints with all his might.
"And now I think you might be a good captain... What you have is Lightning Release, right?" Nara said this again. He saw the arcs of electricity that occasionally flashed on Hanyu's body.
Even when chatting, Hanyu still did not forget to practice hard.
"Well, the new escape technique is more difficult than I thought, so I have to hurry up," said Hanyu.
Lightning escape technique is the third type of escape technique that Hanyu is currently learning, but what he meant was not that lightning escape technique is more difficult to practice than fire escape technique and water escape technique, but that the third type of escape technique is far more difficult to practice than the first two types of escape techniques…If being a dual-attribute ninja is a concrete and feasible goal that a large number of ninjas can achieve as long as they work hard, then being a triple-attribute ninja really requires talent.
At present, Hanyu's Water Style and Fire Style can be used smoothly, but his Lightning Style is still at the stage of transforming the nature of chakra. He is not yet able to use Lightning Style ninjutsu... This progress is lower than the training plan set for him by Sansho, so he must hurry up and catch up.
"team leader..."
Thinking about the issue of training, Hanyu was distracted for a moment, and Nara had to remind him.
"Sorry, I just remembered something else... But you don't have to do this. We are all about the same age, so you can just call me by my name. But... Nara, when we arrive at the battlefield in a few days, you must be extra careful and cautious."
This reminder made Nagisa completely confused.
However, Hanyu knows that in various stories, the characters in the team who are particularly friendly to you and have good or nice guys attributes are often the ones who die the fastest in dangerous missions.
Nara Nagisa, invisibly set a not-so-good flag for himself.
