Morning.

Ayane was teasing the caged bird in the corridor, with a gentle smile on her fair and clean face.

At the other end of the corridor, Rizu, who had already washed up, saw this scene. The beautiful picture was frozen at this moment, and Rizu was a little distracted when he looked there.

It must have been several years ago that I met Ayane.

At that time, he never thought that Ayane would stay by his side and become his maid.

"Good morning, Master Rizu."

After Ayane saw Hizu, she stood up calmly, stopped teasing the caged bird, and smiled gently and respectfully at Hizu.

Pure white pupils convey all the beauty in the world.

Every time he saw Ayane's eyes like this, Rizu kept having questions in his mind.

Has she accepted the fate of separation?

Did she really obey the Zong family?

There is no resentment or hostility in her eyes.

It seemed that she had let go of her prejudice against the Zong family because of the years of getting along with him.

"Good morning, Ayane."

Hizu is not a deliberately indifferent person, both he and Ayane know this very well.

But precisely because he is too gentle, he must give people a serious and cold image.

His gentleness may be a disaster for the Hinata family and may also cause harm to others.

His tenderness once hurt his younger brother Hizashi, so he didn't want Ayane, the maid who had been following him for several years, to be hurt as well.

"I heard that you are going on a mission, right?"

"Yes, Master Rizu. I'm very sorry. I may not be able to serve you at any time in the future."

Ayane bowed apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, our Hyuga family is also part of Konoha. Don't worry, your leader Sakumo Hatake is an excellent ninja."

Rizu seemed to know something.

"Is this something Master Rizu requested from the patriarch?"

Ayane's pure white pupils have a gentle color without impurities.

Rizu didn't answer.

He passed by Ayane with a calm expression.

Ayane looked at the time, it was almost time to gather, and was ready to leave.

"that……"

Rizu's voice came from behind.

Ayane turned her head and looked at Hizu doubtfully.

Rizu did not turn around, but turned his back to Ayane.

"Please protect yourself."

After saying this, Rizu suddenly quickened his pace and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Unlike those cold and arrogant clansmen, Rizu always has a soft heart.

Ayane just had a gentle smile on her face, as if she heard Hizu's words, but she seemed not to hear them.

She tied the forehead protector to her forehead and let her dark, satin-like hair hang down. She paused in the corridor for a while, then raised her steps and walked towards the outside of the Hyuga Clan.

I don't deserve to be treated like this, Master Rizu. These words remained in her heart.

After yesterday's priceless barbecue meal, the atmosphere in the team was relatively harmonious.

Sakumo also gained some understanding of the three people in the team.

Chiba Shiraishi is a medical ninja. We haven't seen much about his personality, but overall he is an ordinary ninja. However, his medical ninja profession has given him a lot of points.

Hyuga Ayane, who comes from a wealthy family, has a gentle and considerate personality, and occasionally has a little bit of evil, which is in line with the lively personality of a young person. Most importantly, she is particularly good at eating.

Uchiha Ruri, the genius of the Uchiha clan, judging from the brief encounter yesterday, his skills are no weaker than those of ordinary jounin. One special note, he is rich.

In the eyes of the Shiraishi trio, the ninja Sakumo Hatake, known as the Konoha White Fang, has a casual personality and is not as ruthless as people in the rumors make him believe. He is also a poor man who can't even afford a barbecue.

The shame of jounin.

After all, there is always a big gap between facts and rumors, and getting along with Sakumo has become very casual. Sakumo has no airs about being a jounin at all and can communicate with anyone on an equal footing.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the members of Sakumo's team gathered at the gate of Konoha Village.

"I just went to Hokage-sama to accept an A-level mission. Let's use this to practice."

Shiraishi's lips twitched, and he knew that this team was not performing an ordinary mission.

Using A-level missions to practice, Shiraishi can feel the miserable mission career with no bright future.

It's probably too late to quit now.

"lets go."

Sakumo saw that although the three people had different expressions, they all obeyed the arrangements honestly, so he couldn't help but nodded and disappeared from the place.

Shiraishi and the other three were not slow in their movements. The moment Sakumo disappeared, they all started to catch up.

Because the most important thing for a long journey is to maintain sufficient physical strength, ninjas will not run very fast during the run, otherwise even jounin will be unable to bear it.

"Sakumo-sensei, what is the content of the A-level mission?"

Shiraishi saw that neither Ruri nor Ayane had the intention to ask about the mission content, so he took the initiative to speak.

Sakumo did not hide anything: "A large-scale battle is taking place on the front line. Our mission is to eliminate the enemies lurking in the Land of Fire. They often attack supply convoys transported from Konoha and destroy the towns of the Land of Fire."

"Is it so serious? In other words..."

Bai Shi vaguely guessed something.

"Ah, your guess is good. A-level missions may turn into S-level missions at any time, because even ANBU cannot fully grasp the whereabouts of those lurkers. That's why a ninja with white eyes is placed in the team. Our mission

Just wander around the Land of Fire and eliminate all enemies that appear within Byakugan's field of vision."

How many ninjas there are among them, how many ninjas are chunin, and how many jonins are all unknown.

This is why Sakumo said that A-level missions may turn into S-level missions at any time.

"Are we the only one in this group?"

Liuli asked calmly, not feeling scared because of the content of the task.

"Of course not, there will be a detachment of ANBU to cooperate."

Baishi and the other three nodded, feeling a little more relieved.

If there is a detachment of ANBU to cooperate, the work should be much easier.

There are a total of seventy people in the ANBU, with two captains and deputy captains. They serve as the Hokage's personal guards and generally do not go out directly on missions.

Under the captain and deputy captain, there are four ANBU divisions.

Each squad has a squad leader, each squad leader has four squads, and each squad has four ANBU ninjas.

In other words, a squad leader plus sixteen ANBU ninjas from four squads, a total of seventeen ANBU ninjas will cooperate with Sakumo's team to eliminate lurking enemies in the Land of Fire.

The rest of the journey was speechless. An hour after leaving the village, Ayane immediately opened her Byakugan and scanned the surrounding environment to see if there were any enemies lurking within the Byakugan's detection range.

Ayane's Byakugan detection range has a radius of five kilometers, which is a greater breakthrough than in previous years.

Another hour passed, and Sakumo at the front of the team made a stop gesture.

The four of them landed on an open space and stopped.

"Take a rest here first."

The most important thing for a team is discipline. Since Sakumo is the captain, Shiraishi and the other three will naturally obey it unconditionally.

After sitting down, Sakumo said: "Going further is a dangerous area, where we may encounter ninjas ambushing us at any time. The three of you have very good theoretical scores in school, and you should know the basics of the team.

Please cooperate."

"Are they the three principles of medical ninja?"

Shiraishi asked.

Sakumo nodded.

The so-called three principles of medical ninja were stipulated by Tsunade-nin, one of the three ninjas.

The first point - the medical ninja must not give up treatment before the team member dies.

The second point - medical ninjas cannot fight on the front line.
