Naruto: They are all reborn

Chapter 38 S-level mission Loulan

Chapter 38 S-level mission - Loulan

The reason why Toki was interested in this book was because of what Minato Namikaze said before, that the ending of this book was found by Jiraiya.

He was very curious about what Jiraiya had found in that country where there was nothing but rain and mold.

After putting the book away properly, they went shopping together to buy gifts. With the help of Minato Namikaze, Tokichi was able to buy the right wine very smoothly.

Everything else went smoothly, and we didn't encounter a single accident on the way back to Konoha. Perhaps it was because the war had just ended, and everyone wanted to take a break.

In the days that followed, Tokihiro focused on learning medical ninjutsu and occasionally went on missions with Kakashi.

When signing the contract with the Wet Bone Forest, Shixu prepared some food that the slugs would enjoy: tender branches and leaves plucked from the tops of plants. However, after using the psychic technique, he discovered that there was actually only one slug in the entire Wet Bone Forest, and the slugs summoned by the contractors were all its clones. It was revered as the Slug Immortal, and had long since ceased to require food.

However, the slug still ate a little bit symbolically.

After reading the book "The Legend of the Strong and Perseverant Ninja", Toki had a concrete outline of Jiraiya as a naive idealist.

But he didn't dislike such people. Often, this overly cruel world needed idealists to push things forward. Even if they didn't reach the desired destination, could you say... they failed?
Toki had nothing much to say about Jiraiya's ideals, but he could still say a few things about ways to increase sales.

Write yellow.

This is the simplest, most brutal and most effective method. As for whether Jiraiya will adopt it or not, that is none of his business.

At the end of the letter, Shixu specifically left a note saying that Konan and the others didn't need to write back, as it wasn't good to constantly bother others. Furthermore, Jiraiya was a capable idealist, and under his care, Konan and the others would surely be doing well, so there was no need to reply.

A few days after the letter was sent, Minato Namikaze suddenly came to visit, but he was not looking for Tokichi, but for Kushina.

Because he was assigned to carry out an S-level mission, Kushina had to prepare a powerful sealing technique for the purpose of the mission.

During the chat, after Minato Namikaze learned that Toki had started learning the sealing technique, his eyes became a little strange. The next day, he came again with a mission scroll.

"Am I eligible for an S-level mission?" Shi Xu's voice was a little surprised, but more excited.

"You've already started learning sealing techniques, and you're also a very good medical ninja, so I suggested to Hokage-sama that you join. Of course, I didn't miss out on Kakashi either, as this is a great opportunity for training."

"What is the mission?"

Namikaze Minato introduced: "The mission location is a small country called Loulan on the border between the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom. According to the intelligence sent back by the Anbu, Loulan's minister An Lushan controls a powerful puppet army, and he intends to use the power of this army to rule the world."

"He's quite bold in his daydreaming." Shi Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes. What era is it now? How come there are still such traditional villains?

Namikaze Minato nodded in agreement, then said, "Judging from the power he holds, while ruling the world is impossible, it would be easy to destroy this hard-earned peace."

"Puppetry is so powerful?"

"The power of a puppeteer can be seen from the number of puppets he controls, and the puppet army controlled by An Lushan is quite large. Even the Sand Village does not have such a ninja."

At this point, Namikaze Minato paused for a moment and lowered his voice, "Besides that, we have a secret mission. The power An Lushan uses to control the puppets seems to be related to the dragon veins in Loulan legend. We need to investigate the information about the dragon veins. If this power cannot be used by Konoha, it must be sealed."

Shi Xu nodded, his expression normal: "So this is where the sealing technique that Sister Kushina prepared will be used?"

"Yes, I don't know much about sealing techniques. I only learned a little bit when I was studying the Flying Thunder God Technique. It would be great if you could help me."

"This is an S-rank mission, of course I won't miss it." Shi Xu had already gotten over his initial excitement and was thinking calmly, "Who else will be joining this mission?"

"Of these two seniors, Aburame Shiwei and Akimichi Choza, one is an excellent sensory ninja, and the other is very capable in frontal combat."

Hearing this, Tokihiro counted on his fingers and said, "The Perception Ninja is naturally self-explanatory, and I am a Medical Ninja. Minato, you are good at finding flaws and striking, so you need a ninja who is good at frontal combat to create opportunities for you."

"Good! When I see Kakashi, I can tell him, 'Kakashi, you are the most useless person in this team!'"

Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly, and at this moment, he suddenly remembered some little things that he had overlooked.

"Toki, I forgot to remind you that this mission needs to be kept secret. Unless necessary, we must not reveal our identity as Konoha ninjas. Go buy a suitable mask before leaving tomorrow." "Are you worried about causing unnecessary conflict?"

"After all, the war has just ended, and nerves between the major powers are still tense. If we cause too much commotion at the border, it will easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings to the Sand Village."

Shi Xu nodded, indicating that he understood.

Just as he was about to leave, Namikaze Minato reached out to stop him: "One more thing!"

"You need to prepare a chakra knife, which is a weapon made of metal mixed with chakra. This type of weapon has excellent chakra conduction ability and can easily cut the chakra threads that the puppeteer uses to connect the puppets."

Shi Xu started to leave, but after a brief hesitation, he stopped and asked, "Anything else?"

"Indeed," Namikaze Minato smiled awkwardly, "Prepare some drinking water and clothes suitable for the desert environment. Although Loulan is located on the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire, the terrain is a complete desert environment."

"Then...see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Now everything is really fine.

Shi Xu left with peace of mind and began to prepare the supplies needed for this mission.

Early the next morning, the group secretly set out from Konoha. After entering Loulan, everyone took off all the ornaments that might reveal their identities and put on masks.

Tokihiro's mask was a fox, Minato's was a night owl, and the other two seniors' masks had no specific images. As for Kakashi...

His mask almost covered his face completely, so there was no need for a mask at all. It was enough to just take off the forehead protector.

　I've been having a bit of a writer's block lately because there were some mistakes when I was writing the outline, which caused some problems in connecting the plots.

　　In addition, I recommend a friend's book: "My World Is Getting More Perverted"

　　Li Yu woke up and found that the world was changing.

　　Last night it was the extravagant urban version, but this morning it was the weird and strange ghost story version.

　　One second the world's top warriors are as powerful as dragons, and the next moment cyberpunk has a high-pressure monopoly.

　　In the past, I ascended to heaven and sought immortality; in the future, I will roam freely in the sea of stars.

　　In the ever-changing world, Li Yu's identity is also constantly changing.

　　He was once a photographer who pursued strange stories.

　　He used to be a mecha master who built mechas by hand.

　　He was once an adventurer who traveled through the stars.

　　He was once a martial artist who could subdue demons with his fists.

　　He was once a godslayer who slew gods.

　　He was once an immortal cultivator who sought immortality.
