Chapter 38: Rosa Attacks
Near noon, the four of them finally hit the road.
"It's really not easy..." Chiba muttered.
Watching Shizuka bouncing around, Chiba couldn't hold on any longer.
Anyone who waits all morning has to do this. Ever since Fujiki and Asuma took the lead, Chiba and Shizuka followed.
"Chiba, what is our mission this time?" Shizuka asked after walking for a while.
Unfortunately, Chiba didn't know either.
"This mission may be waiting for you," Chiba replied listlessly.
"What do you mean waiting for me? I have prepared a lot of good things for you," Shizuka said, reaching into the backpack.
Hearing this, Chiba's spirits immediately lifted.
I see, the little girl turned out to be preparing something for herself.
His eyes looked forward to seeing what delicious food she would come up with.
After all, it's almost noon.
The next moment, she brought out a roll of toilet paper.
Chiba: "???"
He swore that he had seen it right. Shizuka did indeed take out a roll of toilet paper.
"Nah!"
Handing over the roll of paper, Shizuka put her hand into the backpack again.
"What do you mean? Am I supposed to wipe my ass after shitting?" Chiba was a little speechless.
Then, a large medical bag appeared once again.
"I prepared this, especially for you. In case you get injured, I am a medical ninja," Shizuka said with a serious expression, catching Chiba off guard.
"And this! Ice pills. Take a few more when you're running. They can save your life if you're captured by the enemy. Money! If you're caught by the enemy, this can save your life. Family crest! If the enemy is ruthless, give this to them. Let them take it to the village for ransom..."
The Chiba people were all dumbfounded, their faces filled with bewilderment.
Can a ninja really do all this? Shouldn't ninjas carry more explosive tags, shurikens, or something?
He seriously doubted whether Shizuka had ever been on a mission before.
"Do you think it's useless for me to bring these?" Shizuka asked angrily, noticing their skeptical expressions.
"It's not because of you!"
"I?" Chiba was stunned, not knowing why.
Why did she bring him into trouble with these things?
"You stole my bugs, and my strength has declined."
Chiba: "..."
Facing Shizuka's reasoning, Chiba was speechless.
In front of them, Fujiki and Asuma couldn't stand it any longer. They quickened their pace and left the two behind.
They walked for about ten miles before coming to a stop.
"Let's eat something before we leave," Asuma suggested, and the others readily agreed.
Ever since Asuma took out the dango. Fujiki also took out the dumplings. It was Chiba's turn, and he looked directly at Shizuka with anticipation.
"Fortunately, I prepared two lunch boxes."
Shizuka was very proud, and she took out a scroll from her backpack. With a puff of smoke, two more lunch boxes appeared.
"Bento(1)?"
"Are there only two copies?"
Asuma and Fujiki looked at the lunch boxes first, then glanced down at the dumplings in their hands, full of envy.
The two of them ate dumplings, while Chiba and Shizuka opened their lunch boxes.
The scene seemed normal. But Fujiki and Asuma seemed to have forgotten that there was no scent of shit around them.
"Oh! How could I forget? We also have a barbecue!"
Suddenly, Shizuka exclaimed and took out another bag of barbecue from her backpack.
Fujiki: "..."
Asuma: "..."
Chiba: "You should have mentioned that earlier!"
Chiba immediately started cooking again.
"I'm full," Fujiki said, standing up and turning his head in another direction.
"Me too," Asuma agreed, turning around quietly.
Suddenly, Chiba was startled, and he turned to look at a dense forest. He sensed that someone was watching.
"What's wrong? Finish eating quickly," Shizuka said with a mouthful of food, oblivious to Chiba's unease.
But Chiba didn't look back. At that moment, his gaze met with a floating eyeball in mid-air.
"This kind of ninjutsu? Rosa?"
A figure flashed in his mind, and Chiba was quite surprised. He vividly remembered that Luo Sha had drowned in his own cesspit. How was he still alive?
With a swift movement, Chiba stood up and twisted his neck. His expression changed. No more laughter, no more idleness. A fierce determination emanated from him, his eyes piercing.
"The enemy is coming!"
Taking a step forward, Chiba's voice reached the ears of the others.
Fujiki was startled. Asuma turned around hastily.
The barbecue that Shizuka had just put in her mouth fell to the ground.
Fujiki: "Who is the enemy?"
Asuma: "Where is the enemy?"
Shizuka: "Let's run away..."
Following Shizuka's words, except for Chiba, who didn't respond, the other two looked at her in unison.
Run away? Are you serious?
"You guys protect yourselves!" Chiba instructed them once again before jumping onto a tree trunk.
"Disappeared?"
He saw the eyeball disappear in mid-air.
"Which means they're coming here."
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Chiba jumped off the tree trunk and waited silently.
Behind him, Fujiki, Asuma, and Shizuka held their kunai, forming a triangular formation as if facing a formidable enemy.
