Chapter 55 The mystery behind the mission

When a ninja is performing a mission, he can go three days without eating, drinking or sleeping.

However, Namikaze Minato took great care of Hatake Akira and Metkai who were going out on a mission for the first time, and reserved sufficient rest time.

Before sunset, Class 8 arrived at the first repair location arranged by Namikaze Minato in advance.

“Stop!”

Namikaze Minato raised his right arm and took the lead in stopping his progress,”We have reached the scheduled rest point. Hurry up and eat, drink and rest, but be careful not to light a fire or leave my sight.”

The rest point chosen by Namikaze Minato is deep in the mountains and old forests. Although it is inaccessible, the more remote the place, the more favored it is by ninjas.

Because whether it is an ambush or on the road, it is very secretive, which is of great help in completing the scheduled mission.

It is not allowed to make a fire for cooking. This is the first rule of ninjas when performing tasks, otherwise Kakashi would not carry two seal scrolls.

But Metkai was in a miserable situation. With his family background and the meager salary he earned from doing genin tasks, it was only enough for the father and son to feed themselves and buy some simple training props and ninja tools.

Metkai cannot afford sealing scrolls or anything like that.

So after Minato Namikaze gave the order to eat and rest, Metkai could only sit under a big tree and silently eat some rice balls he carried.

Without a sealing scroll, Metkai can bring so many things.

“Give”

Hatake Akira said softly and stuffed half a kilogram of beef jerky into Metkai’s hand.

“Thank you……”Metkai had an old habit again. The tear ducts in the corners of his eyes seemed to have no switches.

“We are friends and teammates. Although we are not brothers, we are still good.” Hatake Akira’s eyes were clear and his words were impeccable.

Although Hatake Akira has some small thoughts, it cannot be said that Hatake Akira is utilitarian.

He admires Metkai very much and is naturally willing to make friends with him, and the things Hatake Akira did in the past were not too extreme.

Although small favors are not very noticeable at the time, the favor formed after a small number becomes a large number, when necessary in the future, the person who owes the favor will need to pay it back with his life.

But even so, Hatake Akira has reservations. After all, it is not uncommon for people to fight against each other.

Metkai may not be this kind of person, but Akira Hatake’s wisdom on how to behave in the world passed down from his ancestors in his previous life is still applicable to Metkai, a young master.

Akira Hatake is trying his best to avoid this kind of situation where good intentions lead to bad things, and until now, Akira Hatake has grasped the situation very well and has not had any counter-effects.

Namikaze Minato, who was on guard at the side, nodded when he saw this scene. He smiled softly and then his body disappeared. When he reappeared, he had already jumped to the branch of a big tree.

Observe the surrounding situation carefully and seriously in order to react as quickly as possible to possible dangerous situations.

Ten minutes later, Hatake Akira and the other three had eaten and drank enough.

“Brother, let me do it”

Although Kakashi called him brother, his actions did not look like a younger brother at all.

He pressed down Akira Hatake who was about to stand up to take over for Minato Namikaze. Without waiting for Akira Hatake to nod in agreement, he used the teleportation technique and came to Minato Namikaze.

“Minato-sensei, it’s my turn”

“Okay.” Namikaze Minato nodded,”The next step is up to you.”

Namikaze Minato jumped down from the tree branch, walked to Hatake Akira and Metkai and sat down. An inverted triangle shape was vaguely formed between the three of them.

This is a formation that ninjas will only form when they are resting or protecting important people. It is easy to react quickly and coordinate with each other when encountering danger. Moreover, the space reserved between the three of them can also avoid being overwhelmed by large-scale ninjutsu.

Generally speaking, when a ninja goes out to perform a mission, there are details everywhere. As long as a little mistake is made, it may bring disaster to himself.

Fortunately, Namikaze Minato has this item in his usual teachings, which makes Class 8 like a precise gear. Not only does it work together seamlessly, but it also operates very smoothly and tacitly.

After eating and drinking in silence, Minato Namikaze made a gesture, and the three of them stood firm in their positions, leaning or sitting with their eyes closed to rest, and fell asleep within a short time.

Kakashi, who was standing on the branch of a tree, kept changing his position around while concealing his aura, fulfilling his duty of guarding responsibly.

Time moved forward quietly for a certain distance, and the crescent moon had reached the middle of the starry sky.

“Kakashi, go down and rest.”

The first time Minato Namikaze opened his eyes, he went to take over Kakashi’s position. During the change of guard, he did not forget to pat Kakashi on the shoulder,”Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi, you did a very good job.””

“Thank you, Minato-sensei.” Kakashi nodded, glanced at the sleeping Akira Hatake, then retracted his gaze and focused his attention on Namikaze Minato’s face again.

“Minato-sensei, will we encounter danger in the next mission?”

“There is a high probability.” Namikaze Minato said with a serious expression,”When I first accepted the mission, I felt something was wrong. This mission in the Land of Grass was a bit cover-up.”

“I think so too.” Kakashi nodded,”The 15-man ninja squadron, plus us led by you, let alone how important the intelligence is, such a huge team is already eye-catching. It is not conducive to the transmission of information at all.”

“You are very keen……”Namikaze Minato glanced at Kakashi with admiration,”But this is a task assigned by the village. As ninjas, we can only execute it. Even if we know there are problems, we can only be fully prepared and do our best to complete the task.”

“I understand the truth.” Kakashi’s voice was a little low,”But Minato-sensei, can I ask if this mission was assigned by the Hokage, or… someone specifically designated it?”

“Kakashi, you……”Namikaze Minato was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he told the truth truthfully,”Since you are the executor of the task, you naturally have the right to know.

This mission is indeed not assigned by Hokage-sama, but a task list submitted by Danzo-sama. The list clearly designated our eighth team to carry out this mission.”

“Then I understand, Minato-sensei.” Kakashi nodded, then jumped down from the branch with great skill, formed a formation with Akira Hatake and Metkai, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Although Kakashi questioned the true purpose of this mission, he trusted Minato Namikaze and naturally did not worry about accidents while resting.

Namikaze Minato, who took Kakashi’s place, glanced deeply at the two brothers, Hatake Akira and Kakashi, with a bitter smile on his lips, and shook his head helplessly.

From a commoner to his current position after many twists and turns, how could Minato Namikaze know nothing, but why he knows everything but can’t understand anything is even more painful?

Shimura Danzo, has already begun……

And the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen has an old problem that has only surfaced in recent years.

Being indecisive in everything, weighing the pros and cons of doing things and striving for balance. Although there is nothing wrong with it at first glance, if things go on like this, it will lead to an increase in internal conflicts in Konoha and constant internal conflicts.

Because Danzo Shimura is an absolute tyrant

Huairou is the greatest indulgence for him!
