"Yo Uncle Achuan! How is business today?"

You opened the dark blue door curtain very familiarly and shouted to the kitchen. The person who came out to receive you was not Achuan, but a slender, young and refreshing man. He had short hair and wore a black shirt. Wearing long trousers and a white apron tied around his waist, he looks quite like a young man.

"Um? Could it be that you are Uncle Achuan's son?" Nan Ming recognized his appearance, and his eyes were slightly inquisitive.

The other party was stunned for a moment when he heard what Nan Ming said.

"It seems you know who I am?"The little brother chuckled lightly

"It's just that Uncle Achuan mentioned it to me, don't worry about it"

"Really? In this case, when we meet for the first time, my name is Jie, what is my age?....I must be older than you, just call me Brother Jie from now on."

Nan Ming waved towards Di at this time, motioning for him to come over. Then she leaned next to Di's ear and whispered something.

"That's it, I understand, then....Ling, what would you and your children want to eat?"He picked up the menu on the side and placed it in front of the three of them.

"I have long heard that Achuan said that your noodle making skills are excellent, so let’s make three bowls of seafood udon noodles, add shrimp and eggs for my two teammates!"

"Haha, then you are in luck. The first pot of soup I make when I come back will be yours. Wait a moment and it will be ready soon."After that, I turned around and went to the kitchen to get busy.

I heard your name from Ah Chuan occasionally, and seeing that you still came to support my father's business as always, I was very generous and gave you drinks and gifts for free. In the end, I had to stop eating the side dishes because you said you had to carry out a mission in the afternoon and really couldn't eat any more.

At exactly twelve o'clock at noon, Nan Ming and the other two people neatly walked out of the store.

"It's really delicious. I'll try the curry flavor next time."Nan Ming murmured, then waved goodbye to Di behind him.

"Um....I want to go shopping. Do you want to come with me?"Nan Ming said slowly to the people around him.

Zabuza refused first and said that he would go back to get some things. After taking them, he went directly to the village gate to wait for the two of them.

Terumi Mei blinked and looked at Nan Ming. Feeling a trace of doubt, she shook her hair and prepared to join

Nan Ming. To her surprise, Nan Ming didn't care. He nodded and walked in front of her.

On the way to Achuan's house, Nan Ming saw a turning point. She was in a weapons store and glanced in from the door. It looked like there were quite a lot of varieties, which should be able to meet her needs.

"what to buy?"

The people around him asked questions, and Nan Ming thought for a while.

"Buy some ninja tools, scrolls, chakra threads, etc."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? We bought them together when we were shopping for clothes two days ago."

"Who knew you would take the mission today?...."

While talking, the two of them had already walked to the entrance of the weapons store. Nan Ming walked into the store, walked around twice and got everything he wanted. He walked to the counter and asked Terumi Mei to pay the bill skillfully. The man glanced at her speechlessly. He glanced at it, but still took out his wallet to pay as if resigned to his fate.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them gathered at the entrance of Kirigakure Village.

It's about two days' journey to the destination. If Nan Ming uses her full strength, she can get there in one day. But unfortunately, her teammates from a foreign land around her don't know ninjutsu like teleportation, and she doesn't want to show it unless necessary. Skill. After all, there is still Obito in Kirigakure Village now. If he pretends too much, Obito may forcefully attack him.

At this time, Zabuza turned his head and spoke to himself

"I have always wanted to ask a question: Do we have no instructor when we go on a mission?"

"Not for the time being. Of course, you must also plan to have no teachers in the future." Terumi Mei looked at Zabuza, then turned to meet your eyes.

"Because based on the current situation in the village, there are not enough manpower, not to mention that we are a newly formed team, and there are almost no people willing to guide us."

And you waved your hands, pretending to reassure them.

"Come on, isn't it enough to have the output of the two of you? Don't worry, as long as you don't meet a ninja beyond the Jonin level, it doesn't matter whether you have a teacher or not."

So Nan Ming followed the two of them leisurely, chatting from time to time.

The time soon arrived in the afternoon, and towards evening, the three of them found a place with lush trees and prepared to build a resting place. place. Zabuza and Mei Terumi set up camp and set up tents respectively, while Nanming sent a few clones to catch fish by the lake, while the main body randomly found some flammable branches and started to light a fire on the spot. Zabuza on the side After setting up his own tent, he saw that you didn’t even bring a backpack, so he couldn’t help but cast a doubtful look at you.

You raised your head and met his gaze, as if you knew what he wanted to say.

"I'll sleep with the captain."

You pointed at Mei Terumi over there, who seemed a little unable to set up the tent, with a pure smile on her face.

"You look at the fire for me, and I'll help her."

Zabuza nodded when he heard the words and sat down opposite the bonfire. You raised your legs and walked towards Terumi Mei who was fighting hard on the side. You took the rope from her hand helplessly, tied it to the wooden peg and beat her skillfully. Slipknot. Then you followed the same pattern and finished the remaining three. Looking at the tent that was set up in a short while, Terumi Mei couldn't help but feel much better.

"Miss, please give me a favor. Can I stay with you tonight?"

"Where is your backpack? Didn't I remind you to take it this morning?"

Terumi Mei looked at her empty back and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"ah.....I forgot...."

In fact, it wasn't that Nan Ming forgot to take it, but that the backpack had been tampered with a long time ago.

Thinking back to the morning, Terumi Mei walked out of the room first, and Nan Ming was also dressed and ready to go out with her. But the moment her left hand touched the backpack, she frowned and felt something was wrong. Nan Ming immediately activated his chakra perception and clearly saw a purple seal appearing on the backpack.

It's more like a mark than a seal.

It seemed that someone wanted to install a locator on her body.

Nan Ming smiled bitterly, but she had no other choice. After all, she had a special status and had to bow her head when she was under the roof.

Although her heart is not in Kirigakure, Terumi Mei is indeed a friend that can be made. She does not have so much intrigue and cunning. But it is also because of her cash machine attributes that Nan Ming can have a more comfortable start.

With this in mind, Nan Ming didn't intend to break the seal, so he simply didn't bring a backpack to save some effort.

Terumi Mei saw Nan Ming looking a little dazed,

"Fool, it contains not only your tent but also your rations. What did you eat and drink during the two days on the road?"

"Um.....Thank you for the gift of nature and the giving of the eldest lady - it hurts......"

Before he finished speaking, Nan Ming was struck directly with a knife by Terumi Mei. She immediately covered her head and took back her Hu Zou words.

"I don't accept forgetful people. You can sleep on the grass later."

"Hey - don't."

Although Terumi Mei's mouth was unforgiving, the smile that could not be concealed on her face revealed her true thoughts.

At this time, the clone had already brought back the prepared fish, passed it through with wooden branches and put it next to the stove Grilling.

After almost half a quarter of an hour, Nan Ming took the lead in taking down the grilled fish in front of him and then handed it to Terumi Mei.

"This should be baked just right, give it a try."

Terumi Mei took it doubtfully, and after looking over it, she slowly brought it to her mouth and took a bite.

What she ate was the crispy skin and soft fish meat, and the light fragrance immediately filled her mouth.. Grilled fish without any condiments can be so delicious. Terumi Mei looked at Nan Ming with a hint of culinary admiration.

After seeing Terumi Mei's slightly surprised expression, Nan Ming couldn't help but chuckle. a sound

"See, I didn’t lie to you."

She raised her eyes to look at Zabuza again, and then pointed at the grilled fish in front of him.

"Yours is fine too."

After receiving Zabuza's silent praise, the three of them spent a pleasant dinner time.

As night fell, Nan Ming raised his hand to put out the fire, then stood there and looked around, as if looking for a place to rest. the heights of

"Okay, okay, stop looking for a place to live, come and sleep with me."

Nan Ming saw Terumi Mei sitting at the door of the tent and waving to her helplessly. She immediately smiled and walked into her tent in three steps at a time. The night in the forest was silent, and she could only hear a few sounds at most. The hoot of an owl.

This was Nan Ming's first time performing a mission in another country. The novelty made her slightly excited, and then she became a little insomnia. The small single tent could only accommodate the two of them, lying back to back, Nan Ming listened to what was happening behind her. She breathed steadily, and her thoughts began to fly all over the sky.

Now she has been forced to flee Konoha, but she has never done what a defector would do. Shisui's death five years later, and the entire clan seven years later The family was destroyed. Facing the historic event that was about to happen many years later, Nan Ming felt a lot of pressure. She didn’t even need to look back so many years later, the incident of Raikage’s crusade two years later was enough for her to think about it.

Although letting it go would be difficult for Nan Ming. The impact on the growth and development of Hyuga is not very big, but it is related to the death of Hyuga Hizashi, and more to Hyuga Neji's attitude towards Hyuga Hinata. In addition, Hyuga is a large part of the Konoha family's power. Even though her identity is unknown now, it is still necessary to sell a favor.

What she has to do is to quickly become stronger in this limited time and highly develop the power of the tailed beast and Sharingan. After all, she wants to compete with Raikage and In a battle, her current strength is still far from enough. But if she can master the Flying Thunder God, it might be easier.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but sigh.

But she didn't expect that this sigh directly caused another person to fight. attention

"What are you sighing for?"

"Ah, sorry, did I wake you?"

"That's not true. After all, you can't sleep too much during the mission." Terumi Mei's voice was still a little confused,"I thought you thought it was too crowded to sleep with me."

"No way. I would be extremely grateful if the eldest lady is willing to take me in. Of course, I am a little cold. If....."

Terumi Mei frowned slightly when he heard this, why does this person have so many things? Although winter is about to enter, the temperature at night has not dropped below freezing. It would be nice for the two of them to sleep in a palm-sized place and not feel too hot. But this person feels too cold on the contrary?

".....Come here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Terumi Mei felt the person behind her turn around, and then gently put a hand on her waist. The cold temperature between the man's palms spread through the fabric of the clothes, and Terumi Mei's brows frowned deeper.

She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to cover Nan Ming's hand, and found that the man's hand was really too cold to be alive.

"Why are your hands so cold?"

Nan Ming chuckled and said, I don't know.

In fact, it's probably because Zero Tailed's chakra has ice properties. When the tailed beast loses control, the temperature around Nan Ming will also drop a few degrees. Ever since there was a tail beast The experience of losing control of the beast and the falling off of the sealing talisman on the iron cage in the sealed space, her body temperature began to be lower than the normal temperature under normal conditions, but this had no impact on herself, so Nan Ming directly responded with a The attitude of ignoring.

But what surprised her was that Terumi Mei's hands were really warm, almost like a hand warmer. This woman who has become as tender as water after many years did not expect that the temperature of her palms was so warm. Thinking like this As she stood there, Nan Ming suddenly felt sleepy. She put her right hand under Terumi Mei's neck, and then slightly tightened her left hand, apparently wrapping her whole body in her arms.

"You are so warm....Let me hold you for a while."
