"Ah, it feels so good after taking a bath."
Ayane walked over from the other side of the woods with long wet hair, and her skin was still tinged with water vapor, and her skin was white and rosy.
Behind her was Liuli who remained silent.
Shiraishi glanced at the two of them, quickly took out Kunai from the ninja bag, and said to Ayane and Liuli, "Before you come here, tell me the secret signal."
"A password?"
Ayane was stunned.
Liuli stood beside her expressionlessly and began to form seals. Chakra accumulated in her mouth, and she immediately spat it out:
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
A huge fireball attacked Baishi head-on.
Baishi fell to the side, dodging the fireball's attack in embarrassment.
Seeing the trees burned by the fireball behind him, cold sweat broke out on his face.
"How did you answer this code?"
Liuli smiled, as if she was about to release a second fireball.
Baishi stood up, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Yes, it's fine. It's just a joke, there's no need to use the fire escape to directly hit me, right?"
"This is more convincing, isn't it?"
Liu Li said confidently.
"Yeah, it's much more convincing than a simple code..."
Baishi sighed and rubbed his aching buttocks.
"Mr. Baishi is also true. I thought we really had some secret code before."
Ayane came over and said.
Just as Baishi was about to say something, Liuli looked around, but she didn't find Shuo Mao's figure, so she asked, "Where did Teacher Shuo Mao go?"
"I went to look for ingredients. There is not much food in the backpack. I need to go to the sentry point to replenish it tomorrow."
Baishi took out his backpack and said.
"I really want to eat Yile ramen. I always eat dry food and game outside, and I almost forget what ramen tastes like."
Ayane rubbed her belly, sat on a rock and complained.
"Be patient, it will be much better after the war is over."
These days, the food that Baishi and others eat are basically cold products. Only when there is not much food, they will use local materials. However, the food is also very simple. They can catch fish from the river, or find some wild vegetables and mushrooms in the forest to satisfy their hunger.
"Mr. Shiraishi might as well invent a portable ramen?"
"You can think about Bingliangwan, but let's forget about ramen."
Baishi shook his head, but ignored Ayane's request.
"Okay, just eat more when you go to the sentry point tomorrow. You and Mr. Shuo Mao didn't find anything here just now, right?"
Liuli carefully observed the surrounding environment and maintained a high level of vigilance.
"No, Sakumo-sensei and I were just chatting about the next Hokage."
Baishi told the truth.
"Hey, is Mr. Baishi interested in this kind of thing?"
Ayane was a little curious.
Baishi glanced at Ayane.
"Because Sakumo-sensei is the closest Jonin to the position of Hokage, in another ten years, after the three generations of adults get old, Sakumo-sensei will have the most appeals to become Hokage. Even the Sannin will be at a disadvantage, and he deserves his name."
Baishi began to analyze rationally.
Liuli and Ayane did not refute Shiraishi's opinion.
The fact is that, Konoha Baiya is indeed Konoha's most appealing jonin, and Sannin is also a bit lower.
"A village is a country. If you want to advance politically, you need more than just the support of the common people. Mr. Sakumo cannot get the support of the ninja, and his character is not suitable for Hokage. Sometimes, fame is a double-edged sword. It is not only the capital for promotion, but also..."
Liuli leaned against the tree, with her hands folded in front of her chest, with a very serious expression on her face. When she reached the end, Liuli didn't continue.
Born as a seed-type ninja that was mainly cultivated by a big family, Liuli is not ignorant of politics, but is not interested in this aspect at all.
Sakumo's prestige, strength, and character are indeed enough, but relying on the support of ordinary people alone is not enough to become Hokage.
In Liuli's eyes, the so-called commoner ninjas don't have a complete body at all. The factions are complicated and their interests are too scattered. If there is no one to integrate them, these people will never be successful.
In contrast, most ninjas have already formed a community of interests. They know what they want to do, what they will gain, and what they will sacrifice, and they have the same goal.
"Listen well, the so-called Hokage...is just a boring game of power alternation at the top, and has nothing to do with the bottom."
Hearing Liuli who made such remarks, Ayane seemed to be a little worried: "Well, Liuli, is it a little bad to say that? I think that you can become Hokage only if you are recognized by the whole village."
"Are you an idiot? If you don't do this, Hokage's reputation will be ruined in the village. You are also a member of the Great Ninja Clan. Isn't your height and knowledge enough to see what the essence of Hokage is? For me, as long as I have the strength and the idea, the position of Hokage can be easily obtained. Teacher Sakumo lacks that kind of thinking, so he is an excellent Konoha Jami, but he is by no means the material for Hokage."
A confident smile appeared on Liuli's face, as if she never made a mistake in her opinion.
Ayane puffed out her mouth angrily, a little bit aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, you two, it's still too early to be selected as the next Hokage. At least the most important thing right now is how to complete the tasks assigned by the higher authorities."
Baishi hurried over to be a peacemaker.
As for Liuli's temperament, Baishi figured it out very early on.
She doesn't have much respect and awe for the existence of Hokage.
What she respects is only the third Hokage, a ninja named Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Respect for a powerful ninja, not out of respect for Hokage's identity.
As long as you follow this way of thinking, Liuli's thoughts are actually very straightforward and easy to understand.
After a while, Shuo Mao came back from hunting and found two hares and some fish, which were reserved for dinner in the evening.
Before that, they had to find a safe place to hide in the forest, a huge hunting ground.
◎
The next day, I came to the nearest sentry point.
The place has already suffered damage. A large number of buildings collapsed. More than a dozen Konoha ninjas fell in the ruins, bleeding all over the place.
Along with Shuo Mao's team, there is also a small class, Anbu.
Anbu of this class has a squad leader and three team members.
The squad leader is a junin, one of the three team members is a special jnin, and two are zhongnin.
Shiraishi was trying his best to rescue a Konoha ninja who was lying in a pool of blood. His injury was so severe that his entire chest was blown apart by the detonating talisman, and he was on the verge of death.
Just like this, he is still not completely dead. This Konoha ninja has a very strong desire to survive.
Because the building at the sentinel was completely destroyed, Baishi could only use emergency surgery outside, but Baishi was not very sure about the survival rate.
When they came here, this Konoha ninja had already missed the best time for surgery.
As for whether he can survive, he can only resign himself to fate and see if he can survive.
Shuo Mao and the others did not disturb Baishi to carry out the operation, and began to search for other traces in the ruins.
"It's a large-scale earth escape ninjutsu. It directly knocked down the buildings at the sentry point. Afterwards, there was a sudden surprise attack. The people here had no time to defend. The first time they met, they were almost wiped out by the enemy."
Squad leader Anbu wore a mask, and after a professional survey, he briefly explained some problems.
"One top ninja, six middle ninjas, and eleven low ninjas, can't they even resist?"
Shuo Mao's eyes were serious.
"It is likely to be the special hidden sand force that your team encountered more than two months ago."
Anbu squad leader said.
"Have you verified their identities?" Shuo Mao looked at the Anbu squad leader.
"The leader, a man and a woman, is the son and daughter-in-law of Sagakushi's adviser, Chiyo, and is also one of the best experts in the Sagakushi puppet army. As for the Sagakushi ninja who can easily divide the battlefield, there is no news yet."
Shuo Mao nodded after listening.
At this moment, Ayane came over and reported to Shuo Maohui: "Mr. Shuo Mao, some of the supplies in the post were taken away, and the ones left behind were also burned. What should we do next?"
"I'll go to other checkpoints later. By the way, can I send Anbu from another unit?"
Shuo Mao looked at the Anbu squad leader.
"Impossible. At any time, there will be two Anbu's in the village. The Anbu of the other team will assist in the dark on the front line and collect intelligence. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Now the Anbu can send out only our team. Just like this, even with the help of the security team, the defense of the village has become very weak."
"In short, I hope to send some more people, preferably experts in tracking. I know that the manpower in the village is also very tight, but now is not the time to worry about these things."
"Understood, I will report to Master Hokage. As for whether we can send more people, it depends on Master Hokage's decision."
"please."
The squad leader Anbu made a gesture, and the other three Anbu companions nodded in understanding, and left here with the instant body technique.
"Can it be done, Teacher Shuo Mao?" Ayane asked.
Shuo Mao shook his head. He couldn't guarantee that the village would send more people to investigate.
Just relying on Ayane's white eyes, the scope of investigation is still too small.
The enemy troops also have excellent perception ninjas, and they are proficient in anti-reconnaissance capabilities. They deliberately search for weakly defended outposts to carry out surprise attacks, causing chaos within the Kingdom of Fire. Over time, it is easy to cause huge pressure on the Konoha ninjas on the front line.
But the Fire Nation is so big, and the whereabouts of the hidden sand troops are often erratic, with no rules to follow at all, which caused difficulties in the search.
Back to Baishi, Baishi has finished the operation and is bandaging the external wound of the wounded.
"Baishi, how is it? Can he wake up?"
"This kind of thing can only depend on how strong his will to survive is. I can only do this."
Baishi packed up the medical kit and put it back in his backpack.
Shuo Mao patted Baishi's shoulder.
"You have done well enough, medical ninjas are not gods."
Regarding Shuo Mao's comfort, Baishi didn't intend to say anything.
