Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

"Our chances of being discovered are minimal," Yu Nuzhihui explained.

"It seems you've already grasped the importance of secrecy in missions."

Shizune patted his head.

Speak politely and don't touch me inappropriately.

Yu Nuzhihui took half a step back and asked, "Shall we set off now?"

"You have another task, which is reconnaissance."

When Shizune realized she couldn't touch him, she gave up in disappointment.

"Investigation?"

Oil Girl Zhihui was somewhat puzzled.

"Ah."

Shizune explained, "You're a medical ninja, so you should definitely leave things like reconnaissance to your teammates, but that's for later."

Their main purpose for this trip was to train Zhihui, the oil lady.

Investigation is also part of it.

Although Shiki Aburame studied medical ninjutsu, as a member of the Aburame clan, he must have been involved in insect breeding.

The Aburame clan in Konoha Village are positioned as support members, especially in reconnaissance.

"I haven't seen the insects you've been raising yet."

"Let me see!" Jingyin said in a clear voice.

Yu Nu Zhihui stretched out her hand, and three mutated parasitic insects appeared in her palm.

"Is this the parasitic insect of the Aburame clan?"

Shizune said, puzzled, "It's not quite the same as what I've seen before; it looks prettier."

"Indeed, they are different."

Tsunade interjected.

"It's a mutation."

Aburame Shiki didn't hide anything and said, "You can understand it as the bloodline limit of the parasitic insect."

"I see."

Tsunade was somewhat surprised, but not much.

As one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, she naturally knew many secrets.

Moreover, since this happened to Zhihui, the oil lady, she felt it was perfectly normal.

After all, she used to believe that no one in the entire ninja world could have a higher medical talent than her.

As a result, an oil woman named Zhihui appeared.

"Let's go."

Tsunade leaped into the air and was already far away.

Shizune put away the map, picked up Tun Tun, and followed behind her.

On the way, Yu Nu Zhihui released all of his parasitic insects, exactly seventy-seven in total.

He kept so many for two reasons: first, because the experiments with Sage Chakra consumed too quickly, and second, because it allowed him to unleash Parasitic Insect Explosion.

All seventy-seven exploded, a force that even a typical Jonin couldn't withstand.

Of course, this is on the premise that the hit is successful.

However, there are too many of them, and they can be completely covered by firepower.

Not accurate enough? Then just expand the range.

Time passed, and darkness fell.

Perhaps it was because nothing happened along the way within the Land of Fire.

They didn't even see the bandits who were trying to rob them on the road.

"Shizune."

Tsunade instructed, "Rest here. You take Shiki and find a suitable place."

"Ok."

Shizune looked at Aburame Shiki and asked, "Can you still hold on?"

They've been running all afternoon.

"I am fine."

Oil Girl Zhihui calmly shook her head.

The two quickly found an open space and set up their tent.

Why is there only one tent?

Oil Girl Zhihui suddenly discovered a problem.

"Because the two targets are too conspicuous and not safe."

With a smile, Jingyin asked, "Besides, with a sleeping bag, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid, I'm just confused."

Oil Girl Zhihui answered calmly.

"It's okay. If you're scared, just sleep next to your sister."

The smile on Shizune's face deepened.

"..."

Oil Girl Zhihui remained silent.

Are you sitting here stealing from your own post?

"I'm hungry, go cook."

Tsunade interrupted their conversation.

She entered the tent and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Although it's called a bed, it's actually just a tatami mat laid on the floor.

Silently opened the sealed scroll and took out various tools.

Yu Nu Zhihui once again felt that they were camping.

"Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to start a fire and cook during a mission."

While fiddling with it, Shizune said, "Eating rice balls or sushi is convenient and safe."

Oil Girl Zhihui looked around and picked up the dry firewood from the ground.

Soon after, the fire started to burn.

"It's been a long time since we went out on a mission."

Suddenly, Shizune sighed.

Before, when she was with Tsunade, she was either going to casinos or being chased by debt collectors, and she almost forgot that she was a ninja.

"How are you feeling today?"

Shizune looked at Aburame Shiki again and asked.

"Sister Jingyin spoke very well."

"I have benefited a lot," said Zhihui, the oil worker, with a serious expression.

"I am, after all, a proper Chunin."

Jingyin seemed quite pleased with herself, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

Because we were in the wild, dinner wasn't very lavish, but it wasn't bad either.

After the three finished their meal, the fire went out, and darkness returned.

Only the moon in the sky emitted a faint light.

"There's a river not far away, so Jingyin and I are going to take a bath."

Gang pointed at Yu Nu Zhihui and said, "You set the trap."

Silent looked hesitant.

Logically speaking, one shouldn't act so ostentatiously during a mission.

But after running all afternoon, I was covered in sweat, and felt sticky and uncomfortable.

"Thank you for your help, Zhihui."

Shizune agreed anyway, and said with a smile, "Don't peek, okay?"

"I won't."

"That's what Zhihui the oil lady said in a serious tone."

Because Tsunade would definitely find out if they were peeking.

Hmm, not necessarily.

Oil Girl Zhihui thought of his Hidden Scale Gu.

It might be possible to succeed while in stealth mode.

cough cough.

Oil Girl Zhihui gave up decisively.

Because he is a partner of justice, he wouldn't do such a thing.

After Tsunade and Shizune left, Aburame Shiki took out wire and a bell and, following the instructions at school, set up a trap near the tent.
