After discussing the matter of team formation, Kuroto looked through the task list again, and Itachi stood aside properly, quietly waiting for Kuroto to select the task.
When I turned to the second page of the task list, a name suddenly caught Kuroto's attention. ? ?
"Shinnō!? Who, who dare to openly claim him?" Kuroto slandered in the bottom of my heart, and Kuroto immediately checked this task seriously.
The task is very simple. It is to escort a doctor named Shinnō to the Country of Land adjacent to the country of fire.
Staring at the task introduction, Kuroto frowned slightly. For some reason, he always felt familiar with something from it.
After a while, he finally remembered.
In the vague memory, there is indeed a remnant of the sky village disguised as a doctor, traveling around the countries, gaining prestige, while waiting for opportunities to steal the secret forbidden techniques of various Shinnō villages, and this guy seems to be called 'Shinnō'. Tossing out a man-made tail beast named 'zero tail', making a lot of noise in the ninja world.
"Will it really be him?"
Secretly, Kuroto decided that he would follow this task no matter whether it was allowed or not.
After completing the procedures for receiving the task, Kuroto and Itachi quickly met the client.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking closely at the man named Shinnō in front of him, Kuroto had an answer in his heart. The person in front of him, whether in appearance or dress, roughly matches the Shinnō in his memories.
There is no doubt that this guy is the remnant of Land of the Sky, the future creator of the Zero Tail.
Knowing the identity of the other party, Kuroto calmly introduced himself: "My name is Hyuga Kuroto, and I am a Konoha Chunin, and I am also the leader of the team who accepts your entrusted task. The one next to me is my team member. His name is Uchiha Itachi, Konoha genin."
Shinnō, who was just in his early thirties, was very polite and bowed: "Then I will ask you two this time.??
"We will definitely try our best, but before we set off, I need to know something about it." After a pause, Kuroto asked: "You should have your own reasons for raising the task to level B, right? Tell me, who is the enemy we might face?" i????????????????????????. ????????????
Shinnō was a little embarrassed and coughed slightly: "In fact, it's not an enemy, it's just a little misunderstanding. When I was in Yunyin Village before, it seemed that a theft happened in their village, so they suspected me of it. The theft is related, but you know that I am just an ordinary doctor, how could I have anything to do with this kind of thing!"
"I have to be an Idiot to actually believe you!" Kuroto secretly laughed because he knew Shinnō's true identity, he also changed his mind and thought, "This guy seems to have a good way to steal techniques from other ninja villages!"
Even the high-level spies of Konoha can hardly penetrate the ghost places like Yunyin Village. It is even more difficult to steal information, ninjutsu, forbidden skills, etc., and this shameless Shinnō can actually steal something from the cloud village, and what is even more amazing is that he can retreat after that? This is definitely something to surprise people.
Kuroto decided it might be useful to keep an eye on this guy as he might be useful in the future. Kuroto decided not to eliminate him. After a little preparation, the group of three set out on the trip to Tanokuni.
As soon as he left the village, Kuroto noticed Itachi's seriousness. Whether it was the choice of route or the camping location, his choice appeared quite decent and impeccable.
On the road, Itachi would even correct the errors and omissions on the map he carried with him from time to time. When camping, he would record the itinerary of the day and occasionally write down some experience.
It can be said that the existence of Itachi has saved Kuroto a lot of manual trouble.
Naturally, Kuroto was not idle either. He used the unparalleled insight of the Tenseigan to observe Itachi and Shinnō all the time. Through the changes in their facial expressions and the expansion and contraction of their muscles, he exercised his insight and predictive ability.
Sensitive Itachi quickly noticed this, but he thought Kuroto was just examining whether he was a qualified Ninja.
So there is no resistance.
Shinnō was also undoubtedly aware of it, but he tried his best to cover it up, revealing an appearance of ignorance, laughing, and talking about the interesting things when traveling around.
After several weeks of walking and stopping, the group finally arrived at the border between the country of fire and the country of Lightening.
Seeing it was getting late, Kuroto said: "Itachi, find a suitable camping site, rest well tonight, and cross the border tomorrow."
"Yes!"
Itachi responded properly, and then jumped to the tree, looking for a suitable camping site.
Shinnō on the side laughed and said, "Kuroto-kun and Itachi-kun are worthy of being Konoha ninja!"
Kuroto nonchalantly waved his hand ignoring the false praise from Shinnō, "The ninja world speaks only by strength after all."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShinnō still smiled and said: "I have seen many ninjas when traveling around, but there are not many ninjas as good as you, and it will probably not be long before your names will be spread in the ninja world."
Knowing what Shinnō meant, Kuroto didn't care about the flattery and turned the topic to medical skills.
It is undeniable that this Shinnō is very accomplished in medical skills, especially in the fields of bandaging techniques, human meridians, herbal pharmacology, etc., surpassing ordinary doctors by a lot.
This is one of the reasons why he can pretend to be a doctor and travel around the world, otherwise, he would have been captured for being a spy long ago.
After finding a camp with a wide view, the three of them discussed the human meridians while eating dry food. Of course, it was Shinnō who was explaining, and Kuroto and Itachi were studying.
The meridians of the human body are not mysterious to Kuroto, because of being born in the Hyuga clan. He has learned meridian knowledge from the clan for the practice of soft boxing, while the meridian knowledge explained by Shinnō is for the medical fields, different ideas, and different viewpoints, under the collision, Kuroto has gained some deeper understanding of the human meridian system.
Itachi also listened very seriously, and within a short while, he wrote and painted several pages in his pocketbook.
The human meridians are not unfamiliar to the Uchiha clan either who have the Sharingan, but there is no medical inheritance related to the human meridian in the Uchiha clan, so this knowledge of Shinnō is especially precious.
Shinnō explained with dedication, but he did so naturally for a purpose. In his eyes, the two ninjas, Kuroto and Itachi, belong to the two great clans of Konoha, are of great value in making friendship. Once a personal relationship is established, he will be active in Konoha.
While chatting, Kuroto suddenly asked, "By the way, what the hell did Yunyin Village lose? Want to trouble you as a doctor so much?"
"I don't know this, I have nothing to do with this matter!" With an awkward smile, Shinnō explained: "This time, if it wasn't for the plague in a village in the country of Lightening, I wouldn't have gone there. An old friend of my friend came over personally and begged me to go there. I really don't want to run around at this time.
Knowing that there is no useful information coming out of Shinnō's mouth, Kuroto said: "Well, I will think about it. Let's rest for now. We have to hurry tomorrow."
Hearing this, Itachi used wire and bells to lay several tripwires around the camp, and then he jumped up and found a branch with a good view to rest.
Staring at Itachi, who is skilled in arranging traps, Kuroto secretly sighed, "Uchiha clan is really good at training ninjas. At such a young age, Itachi can already set up such complex traps."
