The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 254 Easy Mission

Hyuga Hizashi?

Hideki couldn't help but grit his teeth in his heart.

This Hyuga clan is completely against me, right?

But on second thought, it's okay to send someone to take the Jonin examination.

It would probably be difficult for even the Hyuga clan to directly control the arrangements of the jonin examination.

So is this just a little joke God played on me?

After comforting himself in this way, Hideki heard Yuhi Shinku continue to say:

"Finally, here are the tasks for each group..."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, an Anbu ninja suddenly appeared and handed him a note.

After taking a look, Xihi Zhenhong frowned and said:

"Things have changed..."

"Hokage has directly instructed that the tasks for the second assessment will be adjusted, but the specific contents must be kept secret for the time being..."

"But it's not a big problem..."

"You will prepare for the A-rank mission of the short-term combat type and gather at the gate of Konoha at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Your examiner will have further instructions at that time."

Hideki and the others were confused by what they heard and felt that there must be something fishy going on.

But they knew that since it was confidential, no matter what they asked now, they would not get an answer.

As time was tight, everyone did not dwell too much and quickly returned to the village to make preparations.

Hideki, who was walking at the end, spread his hands helplessly, lamenting how his jonin examination had been so full of disasters...

……

After leaving the Forest of Death, Hideki did not go directly back to the orphanage, but went to the village first.

Considering that this mission might take some time, Hideki first found Fugaku.

In addition to asking him to continue to let the police officers assist the children in their gathering and training, Hideki also asked him to help look after the orphanage.

Senior Dai lacks experience, Nono's identity is awkward, and Kushina is unable to show up. Now the most reliable person is really only Fugaku.

Fugaku naturally agreed solemnly and reminded Hideki to be more prepared, as if he knew some inside information.

However, Hideki did not delve into it further, after all, he would soon learn the details from Hizashi.

He then returned to the orphanage and announced that he would be away for a few days on a mission.

After explaining the training arrangements and telling the children to practice hard, Hideki began to pack his luggage.

Because he didn't know the specific content of the mission, he, who was always cautious, took almost all situations into consideration and packed up various ninja tools and materials to take away.

Even though most of them were stored in the sealed scroll, his backpack was still full.

The time soon approached three o'clock, and after saying goodbye to everyone, Hideki came to the gate of the village.

Although he was not late, when Hideki arrived, the rest of the team had already left, leaving only Akimichi Choza, Inuzuka Jaguar, and Hyuga Hizashi waiting for him.

Hyuga Hizashi still had a polite yet distant look on his face, and seemed to not care at all about Hideki defeating Ganbun Cuishan and the other four.

Seeing Hideki coming, he just nodded, and then said to the three of them:

"Now that everyone is here, let's go."

"Time is tight. I will tell you the mission content on the way."

Hideki and the other two had no objection. After saying hello to each other, they immediately set off and headed northwest of the village.

If the leader Hizashi hadn't taken them on a long detour, then their destination would most likely be the Grass Country, located northwest of the Fire Country...

After the four of them flew through the dense forest for a while, Hizashi opened his Byakugan and looked around to make sure there was nothing unusual before he began to explain: "You all should know that Konoha has been fighting the Iwagakure in the Grass Country recently."

"Tomorrow, the Konoha ninjas on the front line will launch a large-scale attack on the Iwagakure position..."

"It will definitely attract the attention of most of the enemy's forces by then."

"So the village is also preparing to send several teams deep into the hinterland, taking the opportunity to wipe out the bases set up by Iwagakure in the Land of Grass in one fell swoop."

"If you succeed, Iwagakure will have to live in peace for a while, whether they like it or not."

"Because of the shortage of manpower, Hokage-sama will temporarily ask you to help out and make this the content of the second test."

Hideki and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Seeing that everyone was acting mysterious, they thought that the Hokage was going to make some big news, but it turned out that he just wanted them to play a supporting role.

Usually, a stronghold like this is guarded by only a few ninjas at most. Unless it is an important location, there won't even be any jonin. It is simply an easy question.

However, Hideki and the other two did not take it lightly and began to discuss the matter seriously.

The specific battle plan has to be determined after we arrive. Now the main thing is to decide on the team leader and the basic division of labor and tactics.

Senior Jaw immediately said that he had to concentrate on searching for the enemy and did not have the energy to be the captain.

Ding Zuo even said that he was just a perennial thug, what was a captain, could he be eaten?
Therefore, Hideki, who always preferred to be a military strategist, had to take on the responsibility of captain.

After becoming the captain, he set the formation for the team:
"Then please, Senior Jaw, take the lead and keep an eye on the movements ahead with Wangcai."

Wangcai is the crooked ninja dog of Inuzuka Jaw, and the name was suggested by Hideki.

"Then, Ding Zuo, you will be the backbone and be responsible for paying attention to the situation on the left and coordinating with Senior Jaw's attack."

"The last one is me, responsible for the situation on the right and in the back."

The three of them then adjusted their positions according to the formation, with Hiashi positioned between Choza and Hideki, and he also opened his Byakugan to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

Of course, if they waited until he came to remind them, the three of them would definitely lose a lot of points.

After they were ready, the four of them sped up again, turning into four afterimages and speeding forward in the forest...

……

"There are so few places in the Ninja World that can be expanded. It's barely enough for me to deal with it alone..."

Although what Uchiha Madara said was a bit childish, it did make sense.

In the original work, even if Naruto and his friends had to take into account Dazna's speed, it only took them a month to reach the Land of Waves.

If the ninja marches at the normal speed, it will only take three days to get from Konoha to Sunagakure.

If we go at full speed, we can even get there in half a day.

So even though Ding Zuo's speed was average in the team, by late night, the four of them had already reached the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass.

Although in order to avoid meeting the ninjas from Iwagakure or Kusagakure in the Land of Grass, I'm afraid I'll have to take a detour.

But they also have plenty of time to get to the mission location.

So after discussing it, the four of them decided to rest on the spot and recuperate.

"Hideki, do you still have chakra to use that?"

Speaking of rest, Inuzuka Jaguar asked Hideki with a smile.

Hideki knew that he wanted to give himself a chance to perform, so that he wouldn't complete the mission but still be criticized by Hizashi and fail to become a jonin.

Although it feels like worrying too much, Neji's father would not do such a thing.

But now Hideki does have more chakra, so he decides to follow Senior Jaw's suggestion and use a move he hasn't used for a long time.

He first found a piece of flat land, then put his hands together and slapped the ground.

"Earth escape technique: three rooms and one living room underground..."
