Before nightfall, Hanyu and his companions returned from the border, first went deep into the Land of Fire for a distance, and then stopped to rest... Since the Cloud Hidden Envoy Team acted very quickly, they bought Hanyu a lot of time, so Hanyu and his companions were able to have a good rest before heading to Daimyo Castle to carry out the next mission.
What is an international friend? This is an international friend.
According to the plan, Team Hanyu will head to Daimyo Castle early tomorrow morning.
I don't know when this "tradition" was formed, but when Hanyu leads a team to perform field missions, he has a very distinctive feature that is different from other ninja teams. That is, he pays great attention to food.
Fortunately, the world has become stable at this time, and they are now in the heart of the Fire Country, so even if an open fire is started, no one thinks it is a problem.
The only problem might be the flowers, plants and small animals around their campsite.
A bonfire was lit , and above the bonfire was a simple rack. A bunch of fat and lean meat was strung on a fresh branch. As they were baked by the residual heat of the flame, they gradually turned golden in color. Whenever the oil baked from the fat dripped into the fire, making a sizzling sound, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
The price of meat remains high across the country, and even ninjas will be tempted by it.
Hanyu's hands were steady and his movements were skillful. After he grilled one skewer of meat, he handed it to Tsunade and then moved on to the next one.
"Sometimes I wonder why I was born in such a world. If I had a choice, I would like to be born in a world with richer food. Garlic Pikachu, fish-flavored Gardevoir, and Filicon Taro, wouldn't they be delicious? More importantly, the average subscription in such a world is high, which is really enviable... If nothing works, even Mario and Luis will do. At least it's full of childlike innocence and fun, which is much better than the fighting and killing now."
As he was talking, Hanyu's expression became leisurely and fascinated. However, no one paid attention to him at this time. Everyone just lowered their heads to eat meat. Even Hanyu's thoughts about the world were interrupted by the sound of someone sucking meat juice... Damn, who is it? Is it you?
However, this has nothing to do with Sakumo. Although no one knows why, every time Sakumo goes out on a medium- or long-term mission, he will carry a large bag of food on his back. He even has the habit of stuffing snacks into his mouth from time to time. But no matter how frequently he eats, he is still very elegant when eating.
Looking at the little faces shining in the light of the bonfire... Never mind, let's not think too much and continue grilling. A real chef is the kind of chef who can turn ordinary ingredients into delicacies, so even ordinary small animals are very fragrant.
After finishing the meal, the sky had completely darkened. Everyone cleaned up the scene and themselves, then spread out blankets and went to sleep with their backpacks as pillows. It was already summer, and although the weather was still a little cold late at night, it was nothing for the ninja's physique.
The three young men then rested while Hanyu was on duty.
On a tree far away from the three of them, with a good view, Hanyu sat on a branch, leaning against the tree trunk with his eyes closed, dozing off. Chakra was running calmly in his body as usual, and there was no other sound in his ears except the chirping of birds, animals and insects in the night.
A peaceful summer night without any enemy attacks is truly refreshing.
Hanyu was covered with a thin waterproof felt sheet, firstly to prevent mosquito bites, and secondly to prevent himself from getting wet by the night dew.
However, late at night, Hanyu heard a rustling sound. He glanced down and found that it was Tsunade who came here. Then, she sat under the tree like Hanyu.
"Hanyu, what are you going to do tomorrow?"
She knew Hanyu wouldn't sleep, so she asked in a low voice.
Only Tsunade and Hanyu know the real purpose of the team's trip to Daimyo Castle . However, Tsunade still doesn't know what Hanyu will do next... Since this is something that has never been done before, when the time comes, Tsunade at least wants to figure out what to do.
"It's okay. I've already made the plan. Just follow my instructions when the time comes."
Hanyu responded.
Tsunade... was silent. Such an answer was equivalent to saying nothing. But because her teammates were on the other side, she couldn't continue to ask questions at this time.
For Hanyu, although he agreed to let Tsunade participate in this operation, he actually only agreed to let her come along, but he didn't really want to use her to do some dirty work... Killing people on the battlefield and killing people in Daimyo Castle are both killing, and there seems to be no difference, but the two are essentially different.
Killing people on the battlefield is the job of a ninja, and killing people in Daimyo Castle is a standard dirty job. Regardless of Tsunade's age and identity, and considering the relationship between her and Hanyu, she does not need to take action in such matters, so... Hanyu does the work and she just watches.
Nothing happened that night. At dawn, everyone began to move towards Daimyo Castle. Soon they arrived at the most important "capital" of the Fire Kingdom.
"We will split into two groups. Sakumo and Sanna will be in one group. I have already given you the address. We will start the operation after nightfall. It is just a mission to rescue ordinary people. It is not a difficult task. You just need to bring the people out. Don't make any big moves.
We just have to be careful to hide our identities. Even if they are accidentally exposed, we can't let people know that we are Konoha's ninjas.
Just in case, Tsunade and I will meet you at a nearby location.
Any other questions? "
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Hanyu first put away the detailed map of Daimyo Castle, and then continued, "Then let's start the action."
The group split into two groups outside Daming City. They didn't even go through the city gate, but climbed over the wall quietly and entered this city which was "tightly guarded" for ordinary people.
"We're going to start the action at night, Hanyu, what should we do next?" Tsunade asked Hanyu.
After entering Daimyo Castle, Hanyu and Tsunade would of course no longer present themselves as Konoha ninjas. At this time, they used transformation techniques, so in the eyes of others, they were already a pair of ordinary-looking men and women in their twenties.
Tsunade has been very good at transformation since she was a child. Her transformation is completely a master-level disguise, and Hanyu... at least he can transform into a human appearance.
"Let's just go to the agreed rendezvous point and kill some time, Tsunade... surely you wouldn't mind taking part in some enjoyable entertainment at public expense?"
In order to make Tsunade behave herself and do what a spectator should do in the future, Hanyu decided to spend some money... As long as he started with Tsunade's interests and hobbies, she would be relatively easy to deceive at her age.
The place where Hanyu and Sakumo agreed to meet happened to be a casino, or rather, Hanyu chose such a casino on purpose.
The spy maid's sister was called Touyue, and the place where she was imprisoned was not too far from the casino that Hanyu chose as the rendezvous point. This was clearly the best of both worlds.
The only one who would be hurt would be Hanyu's wallet. Tsunade's hobbies are much more expensive than Jiraiya's... I just don't know if the Third Hokage can reimburse Hanyu for this expense.
It should be possible... after all, this is the village's mission, right?
There are still people in this world who use public funds to pick up girls and can get reimbursed. Hanyu is just using the money to coax a child, and the person he is coaxing is even the biological disciple of the Third Hokage, so... well, the Hokage will definitely not be so stingy as to do that. It is a public task, so how can Hanyu pay for it out of his own pocket?
