Chapter 128: Blocking Mission (2)
After hearing that they were going to assemble, some of the Genin had not recovered their strength after less than ten minutes of rest, but they could not complain.
It took a while for all the scattered figures to gather in place.
On the other side, Mitarashi Anko rolled her eyes and deliberately did not take the white mouse vessel handed back by the black-clothed girl. She raised her mouth and said proudly: "This is my challenge. If you are afraid, throw it away.
Anyway, I don't believe you have the ability to detoxify."
Then, she left.
The black-clothed short-haired girl behind her seemed to be stunned after hearing this, and then took a look at the wilted white mouse in the vessel in her hand, and finally frowned, looking a little helpless.
Then he murmured, "Since you are the disciple of Lord Orochimaru, who is also a descendant of the Three Ninjas..."
...
"Too slow!!
Do you know that we are in the war period now?!"
As the leader of the team, the senior ninja Chen Long finally couldn't stand it this time. He stood on the rock and looked at the crowd below, and reprimanded with a serious expression: "The village is now facing a huge crisis, and you are still so negligent. Do you know that the mission this time is to protect the village and Konoha?"
"In my opinion, many of you are not suitable to be ninjas at all!!"
No one expected that this fashionable old man would suddenly get angry. For a while, there was silence below, and no one dared to complain.
But Chen Long's last sentence was very heavy, so that many people felt very angry. Those present were all elite junior ninjas, geniuses in the eyes of ordinary people. Today, they were actually belittled to the point of being unsuitable to be ninjas. Who could accept this? If it weren't for the fact that Chen Long was a senior ninja and a captain, the crowd below would have exploded at this time.
"Oh, Brother Chen, don't be so strict. They are still children. Let's assign tasks first..."
The solemn and dull atmosphere was suddenly broken by a kind voice. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the unknown old ninja who took the blame suddenly came forward and stood next to Chen Long with a friendly smile on his face.
After hearing this voice, Chen Long had to shake his head helplessly and restrain his dissatisfaction.
He certainly knew better than anyone that the mission was important.
After a pause, Chen Long said in a serious tone: "We actually have two tasks on this trip. The first task is to block the upcoming Cloud Ninja troops. The secondary task is to scout the enemy situation on the northern front and get in touch with the Hokage..."
"For this, we need to split our troops into two groups. After discussion, it is decided that the deputy captain will lead you to carry out the blocking mission here.
I will select two more people to form a team to go to the front line to carry out the task of scouting the enemy situation..."
As soon as the voice fell, the crowd below suddenly burst into discussions.
Almost everyone is very interested in the second reconnaissance mission. The reason is very simple. Compared with blocking the Cloud Ninja Force, the second mission obviously requires the elite among the elites to be competent, and not only that, you can also meet the Fourth Hokage in the mission.
You know, that's the Hokage.
If you can participate in this mission, you will have capital to brag in the future, saying that you have fought side by side with the Hokage. Who wouldn't envy such an experience?
"Captain, I am willing to go to the northern front..."
"I am willing too, Captain. My perception ninjutsu will definitely come in handy..."
"I have a summoning beast that can pass on information. Choose me..."
"..."
Although Chen Long's previous words and deeds were harsh and harsh, but the mission is the mission, and everyone is still eager to be the first to do such a good thing.
Of course, there were some people in the crowd who were not enthusiastic about this, such as Yutashi Anko. Not only did she not intend to fight for a place, but she couldn't help but mock the others: "You are all rookies. The village has long known how good you are. What's the point of fighting for it?"
As soon as these words came out, they naturally attracted a lot of angry eyes...
However, what was unexpected was that Chen Long seemed to have his own plans for the two candidates for the reconnaissance mission, and he actually directly appointed two people.
Logically speaking, Yutashi Anko had no regrets or special thoughts about not being selected.
She just wanted to complete this mission early and then return to the village to prepare for the experimental work, but one of the two candidates chosen by Chen Long made her very concerned.
That was the short-haired girl in black clothes before, who was also selected.
Hongdou suddenly felt a little dissatisfied about this. Just when she was about to raise questions, Chen Long simply said a few words because the mission was urgent, and then took the two away...
...
"Ahem, first of all, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Maruboshi Kosuke. I will lead everyone to carry out the mission of blocking the Cloud Ninja this time."
Among the people who stayed behind, the old ninja who took the blame smiled kindly after Chen Long and the other two left. He glanced at the people who were a little disappointed because they were not selected and comforted them: "The battlefield on the front line is actually far more intense and cruel than our blocking line."
"You don't have to envy the two little guys who are performing reconnaissance missions..."
Although Maruboshi Kosuke said this, the crowd still looked dull.
Only a teenager about fifteen years old took the lead in asking about the intelligence information related to the blocking mission: "Captain, I heard that there are thousands of enemies from the Cloud Ninja on the front line.
With just over twenty of us, how can we stop the enemy who is about to break through the front line? "
Seeing that someone finally asked about something related to the mission, Gu Jie felt very relieved. He first glanced at the young man who asked the question, and after confirming his name in his mind from the mission list before departure, he nodded in approval and said : "The question raised by Morino Ihiki is exactly what I want to explain next."
"There is a huge disparity in the numbers between the enemy and ourselves. It is obviously impossible to completely prevent the enemy from continuing to invade the Land of Fire.
So we just need to lay a large number of traps to slow down the enemy's approach to Konoha..."
…
…
At the same time, the team led by Chen Long on the other side was moving rapidly towards the front line.
Behind him were the chosen two, a boy and a girl...
As the three of them marched, no one dared to speak, and the atmosphere seemed extremely dull.
After all, most people have seen Chen Long's stern character from what happened before, and few people are willing to bring trouble to themselves. However, Moonlight Gale never expected that he was the only one among the three who thought so...
Because something that shocked him soon happened. The girl in black who was traveling with him suddenly said, "Senior Chen, it's already breakfast time. According to my observation, you should still be there." Didn’t you apply medicine on time?”
"Oh, well, this..."
Chen Long, who was walking quickly at the front, suddenly looked embarrassed when he heard this. He touched the back of his head and explained hesitantly with an idea: "In fact, my illness has been cured and I don't need to apply any more medicine..."
“How can this be possible?!”
Before Chen Long finished speaking, the short-haired girl in black immediately interrupted him with righteous words: "The course of the application of the medicine is not over yet. If it is terminated early, it is very likely that the pain will recur..."
"If Tsunade-sama finds out about this, she will definitely get angry."
Chen Long seemed to want to defend himself, but when he heard Tsunade's name, he was immediately discouraged.
I couldn't help but mutter: "Miscalculation, if I had known that Tsunade-sama sent this little girl to monitor me applying medicine and treating illnesses, I shouldn't have brought her here..."
