Chapter 48: Tiger Cubs Out of the Box - Meow~(1/2)
On the first floor of the Naruto Building, there were still people coming and going, looking busy. On the second floor, there were relatively fewer people walking around. Uzumaki Kumin walked through the corridor and came to the door of the Naruto office. Without knocking on the door, he pushed the door and walked in.
The dark parts guarding on both sides of the door did not stop the inspection and directly put Jiu Ming in.
"Saru Sarutobi, I'm here."
Uzumaki Kumin walked into the office, and everyone in the office focused their attention on Uzumaki Kumin for a moment. Not only Sarutobi Hinaki in the office, but also received the news, Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hirasa.
Behind the third generation of Hokage, Anbu was standing with a death mask, and he was also paying attention to Jiu Ming.
"All people are here, calm down and introduce yourself."
As Sarutobi Hinako spoke, the Anbu who stood behind him reached out and took off his mask. Behind the hideous death mask was a handsome young man.
"Uchiha Shimizu? No! Who is this guy?"
The moment he saw the appearance of the Anbu, Jiu Ming's pupils couldn't help but shrink. The other party's appearance was so similar to Uchiha Shisui, almost carved from the same mold. But compared to Shisui, the man in front of him had a very strong evil spirit.
That's right, it's evil spirit.
"My name is Uchiha Shin-shin. I was originally the Aristoba of Lord Naruto, but from today on, I will be your captain."
Uchiha introduced himself quietly, while Uchiha Fuga, who was beside him, had already shown excitement and looked at the young man in front of him with admiration. It seemed that Fugaya knew the other party.
"Uchiha Jingxin is the best in the Uchiha clan. His swordsmanship, physical skills, fire escape, thunder escape and illusion are all good at."
"He will take you to carry out this transportation mission."
"Under Jingxin's hands, you must do it well."
"Jingxin, let's leave the next thing to you."
After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, he no longer cared about the few people in front of him and began to look through the scrolls on his own. The war on the front line became more and more tense, and he had more and more things to do. By this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen had very little time to rest.
"Is the third generation old man NPC? After the explanation, he will do his own thing..." Uzumaki Kuri glanced at Sarutobi Hinazo who seemed to be no one else to deal with the matter. After complaining in his heart, he focused his attention on the newly appointed captain.
"Is this the first time I have seen the team leader of Uchiha clan?"
Uzumaki Jiuming is now full of curiosity about this young man named Uchiha Jingxin. The other party's appearance gave Jiuming a rough guess about the other party's identity. However, the Uchiha clan's people serve as the leader of the Uzumaki, such a thing has never been seen in Uzumaki Jiuming's perception.
Since Konoha established the Konoha police force, the Uchiha clan members have served in this force. Even now, the police force has shown no sign of being sent to the battlefield when World War II is now fighting like this. The Uchiha clan members have stayed in Konoha and have not gone out to fight.
This is also the reason why no one in the Uchiha clan opened the Manelidonic Blood Ringan in recent years. The Uchiha clan, who has not experienced the baptism of war, has no conditions to open the Manelidonic Sharingan. Even the average Sharingan, the number of people who open their eyes in the tribe now is several points lower than that in the Warring States Period.
"Let's go, let's get to know each other first."
A gentle smile appeared on Uchiha Jingxin's face. After saying softly, he took a few people out of Hokage's office. After leaving the Hokage Building, under Uchiha Jingxin's leadership, several people came to the No. 7 Trial Site on the edge of the village.
"I will introduce myself again. My name is Uchiha Shin-shin. The ninjutsu they are good at are illusion and fire escape. As for the thunder escape that Lord Naruto mentioned, they are just a bit involved, just a matter of ordinary things."
"From today on, I will be your captain, oh, by the way, I am 20 years old this year, you can call me teacher and brother~ Just don't call me captain, it's strange~"
"Okay, let's introduce yourself, everyone knows you."
Uchiha Jingxin had a gentle smile on her face. At this time, he was still dressed in Anbu, but he was no longer wearing a mask.
"Uncle, my name is Yuzuru Jiuming. I am good at sealing techniques. I am seven years old. I think you should know me."
Since I just met the other party in the Naruto office, Jiu Ming used Kagura's heart to check the other party. The other party's chakra Jiu Ming was very familiar with it. When the entrance examination of the Ninja School was assessed, the man in front of me slashed the shadow clone he was exploring. The speed was so fast that Jiu Ming could not react at that time.
“…………”
"The title of uncle is too......"
"I'm only 20 years old, you can call me a teacher."
Uchiha Jingxin buckled her face with her hands in embarrassment. He didn't expect that the little ghost in front of him would call him uncle, which was a bit heartbreaking.
Looking at the embarrassment of the man in front of him, Jiu Ming was stunned for a moment. He was obviously a man with evil spirits, but his behavior at this time was like a big boy next door.
"Hey, Jiu Ming, you're so rude to Brother Jingxin."
"Brother Jingxin, I didn't expect that you will be the one who became our new captain. It's really great!"
Uchiha Fugao said happily, unable to suppress the excitement on his face.
"Fugao, now you have become my subordinate. I will not lower your requirements because of Uncle Qingyue~"
Obviously, Uchiha Jingxin and Fugao are old acquaintances, and Jingxin is also joking with Fugao. After the two of them have been reunited for a while, Jingxin turns her eyes to Hinata Hikata.
Seeing Uchiha Jingxin's eyes coming, Hinata Hirasa introduced herself:
"My name is Hinata Hirasu. I am good at kneading fists. Please give me some advice."
Hizuki said little, and after he finished speaking, he fell into silence. After everyone introduced themselves, Uchiha Jingxin took out a scroll from the ninja bag behind him and threw it to the youngest Uzumaki Kyumin.
"This is the transportation task this time."
"We have to bring huge amounts of soldiers, food pills and various ninja tools to the battlefield, and even a lot of medicines and medical devices."
"What I give you is this scroll is a route planned by Lord Naruto. There will be a ninja from Konoha to pick us up along the way."
"The difficulty of the mission is level B, but its importance is enough to affect the entire battle situation."
While Uchiha was talking intently, Jiu Ming had already opened the scroll, and the Hikazu and Fugaki next to them looked at the route of the scroll. At this time, Jiu Ming had already had a lot of doubts in his heart.
"Uncle, I have a question. I don't know if you can tell me." Jiu Ming carefully checked the contents in the scroll, and the doubts in his heart became deeper.
"Oh? What's the question? Ask." Uchiha Jingxin replied with surprise.
"I roughly took a look at the route of our team. The route was very long and it was not an official road, so the route was quite remote."
"This route is in line with the characteristics of a special mission, but since it is such an important mission, why doesn't Lord Naruto send more ninja escorts?"
"You just said that this batch of supplies will affect the situation of the battle. Normally, this batch of things should have a strong escort team. We big cats and kittens are not suitable for such tasks, right?"
Jiu Ming expressed his doubts. After all, it was such an important thing. Sending a four-person team was too rude to respect the importance of these supplies.
"Hey hey hey, Jiuming, don't talk nonsense."
"Big cats, kittens, etc., don't bring me with me. I am the most popular genius in the Uchiha clan."
"And I can't count the A-level tasks and B-level tasks I have performed, so I just can't count the S-level tasks."
"If it weren't for my father, I would have been arguing for a long time."
Hearing Uchiha Fugao's words, Uchiha Fugao immediately jumped out and denied. Obviously, the big cat kitten that Jiuming just mentioned had already denied his strength, but Uchiha Fugao was still quite confident in his own strength.
"Yes, yes, you are the only one with the kitten."
"Fugao and I are the Zhongnin who have experienced many battles, and are elites. We are different from you, the rookie, the Shininin." Hinata Hizusa, who was standing beside us, also interrupted at this time.
“…………”
"You two have a little bit of focus."
"My uncle should understand what I mean?"
Jiu Ming shook the scroll in his hand, waiting for Uchiha Jingxin's answer. Fugao and Hizuka also looked at Jingxin. It was not that they didn't understand what Jiu Ming said. After the joke, both of them looked at Jingxin curiously.
"I didn't expect you to think of this level. At your age, being able to think of this problem is enough to show your excellence."
"Indeed, such a large amount of supplies is indeed less due to the defensive power of our team."
"But the task we are performing now is top secret. Those who know the route are only me and Naruto."
"And the news released from the public is the reserve force sent to the front line by our Konoha Village to send to the front line."
“There are thousands of escort troops.”
Uchiha Jingxin said with a smile, and Jiu Ming also sensed that just before Jingxin spoke, the barrier was opened silently around them. The reason why he could find this barrier was mainly because Jiu Ming specialized in this practice. As long as it was the sealing technique circulating in Konoha Village, there was almost nothing that Jiu Ming didn't know.
"So that's the trick of building a plank road openly and crossing it into a warehouse in secret?"
"Teacher Sarutobi is still very thoughtful."
"So uncle, when will we set off?"
Yuzuru Jiuming asked, what he was most concerned about now is the departure time, who knew the specific tasks.
"Tomorrow morning, Konoha's large troops will set off in batches, and we will disguise ourselves as merchants tomorrow afternoon and head to the Land of Rain."
Jingxin said to Jiu Ming and others. Fugao, who knew that she would set out tomorrow, let out a light cry of joy, and even Hirozu's face showed some expectations.
"A businessman?"
"I think the route is basically not on the official road, so is it a bit abnormal to play a businessman?"
"At this time, no businessman doesn't go through the straits~"
When Jiuming heard that their team would play the businessman, he felt confused again. The routes on the scroll given by Uchiha Jingxin were all remote paths, but normally no businessmen could take the path. In today's chaotic environment, the security environment in the Fire Kingdom has become quite poor.
There are quite a few bandits who occupy the mountain and become king. It is impossible for serious businessmen to abandon the official road with high safety factors and go to the remote path. This is simply a matter of contrary to common sense. There are probably many changes that may occur on the road.
"Um……"
"The little guy is right. Brother Jingxin, if he follows this route, it is really inappropriate to pretend to be a businessman."
"If I want to say, I just need to just pretend and marching as a civilian."
Uchiha Fugao thought for a moment and agreed with Jiu Ming's idea.
Uchiha Jingxin's eyes when he looked at Jiu Ming at this time had changed. At first, he thought that Uzumaki Jiu Ming was just a talented genius, and was valued by the third generation of Naruto because of Uzumaki's ninjutsu talent.
However, through the brief contact now, Uchiha Jingxin discovered that the other party not only had outstanding ninjutsu talent, but his mind was far from comparable to those of his peers. Even he was a little surprised when he looked at the problem and his delicate thoughts.
