Chapter 129: Blocking Mission (3)

The conversation between the two made Moonlight Gale a little confused. read

Later he learned that Jonin Chen Long did not come to this mission willingly. After the break from the war a year or two ago, due to physical and mental exhaustion for various reasons and advanced age, this Konoha Taijutsu master had already thought of resigning and retiring.

In the world of Naruto, the essence of ninja is just a profession, so of course you can resign or change careers.

It just so happened that Chen Long, who was about to turn 60 this year, had recently relapsed from an old illness. He simply took advantage of the illness to recuperate at home. This state lasted for more than half a year. Just when he was determined to resign, he encountered another The Nine-Tails Rebellion...

Since the Kyuubi Incident caused a lot of losses to the jounin in the village, there was a backlog of entrusted tasks in a short period of time, and his resignation report was postponed as a result.

This postponement ushered in the outbreak of war again. It was clearly stipulated that ninjas were not allowed to resign during the war. Chen Long felt helpless and depressed about this. In fact, he originally had a chance to apply for resignation. I still remember that when he went to the Hokage's office to interview the Yondaime, he was miserable. After all, it was a fact that he had an old disease that could not be completely eradicated. It was natural to dismiss him on this basis, but I didn't expect that after confirming his name and resume, Namikaze Minato, who was in charge, became very concerned about him for some reason, and not only enthusiastically asked about his old illness and health situation, and even helped him come forward to find Lady Tsunade for personal diagnosis and treatment...

There was no other way. Seeing the backlog of tasks in the village, and the Hokage-sama being so concerned about his illness, how could he refuse if he begged him to postpone his dismissal under such circumstances?

"That's all, the front is about to enter the combat zone, let's take a final short rest..."

Perhaps because he did not dare to challenge Tsunade's majesty, Chen Long sighed helplessly and took the lead to stop. Then he also explained to Moonlight Hayate, who was still blinded: "I'm sorry, I have an old illness and need to be on time. It only takes a few minutes to apply the medicine.”

At this time, the girl in black and Moonlight Gale heard the words and stopped, and the three of them gathered together.

While unloading his backpack and searching for medicine, Chen Long suddenly told Yueguang Gale in a chatty tone: "Little guy of the Yueguang clan, I heard that you are the only person who has awakened the family bloodline in recent years. This time The reconnaissance mission is up to you..."

"Chen...cough cough cough..."

Suddenly hearing Chen Long talking about himself and preparing to rely on his immature escaping ability, Yueguang Gale suddenly felt a little scared. A sudden discomfort in his chest made him cough a few times before he hurriedly continued: "Chen Senior, although this junior has little investigative experience and his ability to escape is still immature, he will still do his best on this mission."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Long's hands stopped searching for his backpack.

Then he turned his head strangely and looked straight at Yue Guangfeng, who was swearing. The latter was naturally stunned by Chen Long's move. Seeing that the other party had a strange look on his face and his eyes were hard to see under his sunglasses, Moonlight Hayate thought for a moment that he had said something wrong, and became even more confused.

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Long suddenly grinned and smiled: "Yes, the little guy is very responsible as a ninja. He is worthy of being the candidate chosen by the senior management..."

"However, war is ruthless."

After saying this, Chen Long remembered something and couldn't help but sigh slightly, and continued to rummage through the medicines in his backpack.

He was indeed a strange old man, and now even the girl in black couldn't help but have this thought running through her mind. For a moment, the atmosphere fell into silence. One person was alert to the surrounding situation, and the other person continued to 'monitor' Chen Long's search for medicine...

But the weird and heavy atmosphere didn't last long. After Moonlight Gale took a distant view of the uninhabited snowfields nearby, he heard Chen Long behind him pretending to be surprised and weird: "Ah, I really want to forget Here comes the medicine.

It seems that I am really old. Memory loss is really a troubling thing..."

After sharing the backpack, Chen Long's face was filled with regret. Just when he thought his plan had succeeded and he could justifiably escape the pain of applying the medicine, what he saw when he turned around made his face collapse again.

"Senior Chen, don't worry, I have prepared a backup of the medicine you need in advance."

The girl in black was holding a medicine box in both hands and looking at him with a smile. Although the little girl looked innocent and had a nice smile, in Chen Long's eyes she had a devilish smile.

"Thank you so much, little girl Shizune..."

With a hint of complexity and pain in his smile, Chen Long reluctantly took the medicine box, finally realizing that he could no longer escape taking medicine today.

Out of curiosity, Moonlight Gale on the other side seemed to see some clues in Chen Long's eyes, and couldn't help but interject: "I didn't expect that Senior Chen Long still went on missions despite being ill. It's really hard..."

Chen Long waved his hand, not paying much attention: "It's an old disease, a common problem among taijutsu ninjas."

While he was talking, he looked at the medicine box in his hand, as if he was dawdling with it, and did not immediately take out the medicine for application. At the same time, his eyes were flickering and hesitant, and his expression was unusually troubled.

Seeing this scene, Shizune seemed to understand something, pursed her lips, and turned to walk in the direction of Moonlight Gale.

"Senior Chen needs some private space when taking medicine. Let's explore the surrounding terrain first..." As she passed by Moonlight Blast, Shizune suddenly hinted at the former with her eyes, and then she kept walking.

Moonlight Gale wanted to ask what the common problem of physical ninjas that Chen Long mentioned was, but after hearing what Jingyin said, he had no choice but to follow him.

After walking about one or two hundred meters, the two stopped only when Chen Long's figure was blocked by several rocks.

Jingyin, who was walking in front, looked at the desolate white snow in the distance. A gust of cold wind blew past, and she couldn't help rubbing her hands. Obviously, her clothes were still a little thin.

But after all, she was a ninja, and she still had some cold resistance.

"It's really reassuring to have a medical ninja in the mission team."

Moonlight Gale, who came from the back, pretended to casually bring up the topic and laughed.

This was naturally just making small talk, but after all, they were teammates in the same team, and it was necessary to deepen communication and understanding. Besides, he was indeed more interested in Chen Long's affairs and the short-haired girl in front of him.

"It seems that I haven't introduced myself formally yet. My name is Shizune. I'm currently working as a temporary assistant in the medical department." The girl didn't mean to be shy and answered generously.

"Moonlight Gale, an ordinary Genin..."

After a humble smile and a pause, Moonlight Gale hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking the question in his heart: "Is Senior Chen's illness... very troublesome?"

The reason he asked this was because he was very curious about the so-called common disease of physical ninjas and the need for others to avoid taking medicine. What kind of disease is it? As a ninja specializing in swordsmanship, there are some things that can be said to be interlinked between physical and swordsmanship, so if there are similar experiences and lessons, he can also learn from them.

However, Shizune's answer was a little unexpected. She was obviously a little confused about the word trouble described by Moonlight Gale.

"It's not a troublesome disease, just muscle strain..."
