Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

Haw... Haw...

The crisp sound of birds chirping, accompanied by the bright sunlight coming in from the window, sprinkled the three of them lying on their stomachs and sleeping on the long low table.

There seemed to be slight snoring echoing in the large living room.

What time is it!

Suddenly, Qianye, who was lying on her stomach among the three of them, suddenly straightened up, with a little surprise in her slightly dark circles of eyes, as if she woke up suddenly when she realized something urgent in her sleep.

Huh? What's going on, Chiba?

At this time, the other two who were awakened by Qianye's sudden scream rubbed their eyes, then straightened up and looked at Qianye in a daze.

What time is it? Where is the clock?

But at this time, in their eyes, Qianye stood up straight away, looking left and right to find something, with a look of anxiety.

Aha……

Seeing Chiba's appearance, Hirohiko yawned, then silently pointed to the top of his head.

above?

Noticing Hirohiko's pointing, Chiba was shocked, then raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

Then he saw the silently turning clock mounted on the ceiling.

7:20.

The clock shows the current time.

Why...why is the clock mounted on the ceiling?

But Chiba, who looked at the time, was not in a hurry and they were about to set off to perform the Kannabi Bridge mission in 40 minutes, and even Kushina's assembly order, but looked at the clock on the ceiling very puzzled, The corner of his mouth tugged.

what time is it?

At this moment, Yukina, who was rubbing her eyes and yawning while covering her lips lightly, asked.

It's 7:20, and time is very tight. Hurry up and wash and tidy up. After you go out, you won't have time to come back.

Xue Nai's sound clearly brought Qianye back from the complaint, and hurriedly said. Even while speaking, Chiba had already turned around and was about to run to the washing place.

However, after running two steps, Chiba's figure stopped awkwardly.

Uh... where is the washing place?

Turning around in extreme embarrassment, Qianye asked embarrassingly.

It was only then that Qianye remembered that it was his first visit to this new house, and he didn't know anything except the hall he was in now.

But now the time is really tight, yesterday when Kushina left the mouth, they each opened the gift scroll left by Kushina.

Then, I was deeply attracted by the contents of the scroll, and then read it without knowing the time. When I fell asleep last night, it was already very late, and they didn't even know how they fell asleep.

The original plan to organize their luggage and study the battle map given to them by the third generation of Hokage was directly stranded.

So, now they have very tight things to do. First of all, they have to leave Konoha before 8:30 to carry out the mission, and at 8:00, they have to go to the gathering place that has always been there. Kushina still has things to order, Or have something to give.

In other words, within 40 minutes, they have to wash up, and they have to fully prepare the luggage for this mission, including counting ninja equipment, preparing enough food, or means of replenishing energy on the way or during a rapid march, etc. A series of things, even whether to bring pots and pans has to be decided.

After all, judging from the map, even if there is no obstacle and no detour, it will take at least three days to go to Shenwubi Bridge, not to mention the time to bypass Yunyin's battle line. It takes five to six days to reach the Shenwubi Bridge. This is still a smooth situation. If there is any battle, it will take longer. If you are not properly prepared, this rush will easily consume a lot of unnecessary energy and energy. time, and even lead to poor state.

A mission for a ninja, especially a long-distance mission, is definitely not as simple as it was shown in the original work of the previous life, and there are quite a lot to consider.

Ah! That's right!

And hearing Chiba's words, Hirohiko and Xue Nai didn't have time to complain that Chiba didn't even know where to wash in their own house, they all slapped their heads and suddenly realized.

Want to tell me where to wash up!

At this time, seeing the way the two slapped their heads, Qianye asked more eagerly.

Hirohiko, you and Qianye go to wash up first, I'll prepare the luggage here, can you prepare according to the mission of the deployment map, Chiba?

Hearing Qianye's voice, Xue Nai's face was slightly solemn, and she spoke decisively. In her words, she had already arranged the next action.

Uh-huh!

As soon as Xue Nai spoke, Qianye was slightly taken aback, and looked at Xue Nai in astonishment.

I always feel that Xue Nai... the tone of her words, and her aura...

Looks like a capable superior!

At the same time, such a thought involuntarily popped up in his mind.

Let's go, Chiba!

But at this time, Hirohiko brushed past him, apparently obeying Xue Nai's words very obediently.

oh!

Noticing Hirohiko's departure, Chiba couldn't care less about feeling, and hurriedly followed.

Then, hurry up and get ready.

Watching the two get into the next room, Xue Nai looked up at the clock, then ran into another room and started to get ready.

...

After half an hour of busy work, Hirohiko and Xue Nai stood at the door of the Japanese-style residence with all their equipment. The outside was green and pink, red, and white were decorated like stars, and it was so beautiful that it was almost like a picture scroll.

Chiba, hurry up! It's too late! There are still ten minutes! If you don't make it to the meeting point, you will definitely be beaten by Teacher Kushina!

At this time, the two shouted towards the inside together, and there was a bit of anxiety in their words.

Wait a moment!

But Qianye's voice came from inside, the tone was rather hasty, as if something urgent had happened, and at the same time, there were various sounds of rummaging through boxes and boxes.

what's up?

Hirohiko and Xue Nai looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

What are you doing, it's so noisy in the early morning!

And at this time, Nasuna's confused and impatient voice sounded.

Uh...Sorry, Nao, do you know where my scroll is? It was the scroll that I sorted out after the cabin collapsed. I asked Asma to help me put it in the house!

Then, Qianye's slightly anxious voice sounded again.

how could I know?

Nao, who was obviously woken up, was very unhappy, and spoke extremely rudely.

ah!

But before Nao's voice fell, Chiba exclaimed, as if he had found something, and then his voice sounded again: I found it, thank you! Also, Nao, this is a new medicine. If you get sick, drink this medicine. The red ones are grown, and the green ones are usually strawberry-flavored.

Then, there was the sound of running, and following the sound of running, Chiba quickly rushed out.

Sorry for keeping you waiting!

After stopping in front of the two of them, Qianye said with a slight panting.

Hey! What are you guys doing, in such a hurry?

And at this moment, Nao's figure also walked out from the door, holding on to the door frame.

ah! I forgot, I haven't told Nao about the mission yet!

At this moment, the hearts of the three of them froze, and their faces were slightly stiff.

Hirohiko, stay here and explain to Nao, Xue Nai, let's go first, Teacher Kushina will understand.

And almost instantly, Chiba patted Hirohiko's shoulder and said.

Um.

Hirohiko nodded, looked at Nao, his face slowly sank, at this moment, in his eyes, the girl holding the door frame looked so lonely and... helpless!

She is worried!

very worried!

In an instant, Hirohiko knew what Nao was thinking.

Let's go, Xue Nai!

After getting Hirohiko's affirmative answer, Chiba walked sideways and walked between the two of them.

Um!

And Xue Nai responded, and followed Qianye away in a hurry.

You... this is...

Nao closed her eyes, Zhenshou moved slightly, and looked at Hirohiko.

Nao, I'm sorry, I have a temporary task.

And hearing Nao's hesitant and worried voice, Hirohiko pursed his lips and took a step forward.

But after only taking one step, he was shocked by Nasu's sad aura and stopped in his tracks.

Nao...

Looking at the girl leaning against the door frame, Hirohiko opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
