In Konoha, your attributes double every day!

He truly is a good brother; he stood up for me in this crucial moment.

"So this is ah."

Kushina smiled and added a point to Hanguang's name with her pen.

Han Guang: "???"

Obito stared in disbelief: "Why did he add a point?"

Kakashi pondered, "Being willing to take responsibility for mistakes, so he got a point?"

Lin exclaimed in disbelief, "This can actually earn you points?"

Han Guang hadn't expected this either.

Does this mean M can get extra points?

What are the rules for bonus points?

Next.

The hellish mission that Kushina spoke of has begun.

Upon learning the details of the mission, Class 9 fell silent.

Level 1 task.

This is the mission that Kushina helped Class 9 receive.

The scores of each person will increase or decrease depending on their contribution to the mission.

"Kakashi will serve as the temporary team leader for this mission!"

"All arrangements during the mission are based on Kakashi's orders."

After scanning the group, Kushina appointed the temporary captain of Team 9.

but.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Obito jumped out.

"Kushina-senpai! Our team leader should be Han Guang!" Obito said confidently.

"Hmm?" Kushina frowned.

"Teacher Men said before that whoever makes the biggest contribution to the mission will be the team leader!"

This statement was indeed made by Namikaze, and the entire Class 9 witnessed it.

"That's it."

Nodding, Kushina took out her notebook again.

Then, Obito's score decreased again.

to be frank.

Han Guang also wanted to jump out.

But after thinking about it, he held back.

If I were to step forward and actually become the temporary team leader, wouldn't I be digging my own grave?

The entrance to Konoha Village.

Team 9, having replenished their ninja tools, has assembled.

At this moment, an oxcart stopped at the entrance of the village, with a seventeen-year-old girl sitting on it.

This is the target they are tasked with escorting.

Minako is the owner of Happy Bathhouse.

She was originally the daughter of the owner of the largest bathhouse in the Land of Hot Springs, and came to Konoha a year ago to open a branch. The reason she hired ninjas this time was to make the journey back to the Land of Hot Springs safer.

After all, she is quite wealthy.

Having learned about the mission details, the Ninth Squad prepared to set off.

"I thought Kushina-senpai would be going too, but it turns out she's not?"

As soon as they set off, Obito started complaining to Hanguang.

"If Kushina-senpai isn't participating in the mission, then why is she wearing a combat uniform?" Rin asked, somewhat puzzled.

Han Guang ignored the two people's questions.

His gaze would occasionally sweep over Minako on the oxcart, as if he were deep in thought.

Not a moment.

Kakashi came closer.

"What did you find?"

Kakashi had some understanding of Han Guang's observational skills.

So he came directly to ask Han Guang.

Three points of doubt.

Han Guang said in a low voice.

"First of all, since we set off, Minako has not said a word and looks like she has something on her mind."

"Secondly, she's quite wealthy, so why would she only hire an oxcart? And without even a canopy?"

"Finally, we must be careful once we enter the Land of Hot Springs."

After hearing Han Guang's words, Kakashi pondered for a moment.

How did you determine that the Land of Hot Springs is unsafe?

Kakashi noticed the first two points. But the third one was different!

Is the Land of Hot Springs unsafe?

Where did Han Guang get his conclusion?

Han Guang offered no explanation in response to Kakashi's question.

Because he analyzed it according to the general trend in the original work.

In his judgment, the Third Shinobi World War is now very close.

The Land of Hot Water, being a neutral country, is sandwiched between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.

what does this mean?

This means that the Land of Hot Springs is very likely to have been infiltrated by the Hidden Cloud Village.

He couldn't explain this to Kakashi.

"Let Lin talk to her and try to get some information out of her."

Han Guang changed the subject and offered suggestions.

Daimyofu, the capital of Yu.

The rebel leader, Kawashiro, sat in the center seat.

At his feet lay the daimyo's corpse.

Beside Kawashiro stood two extremely powerful Lightning Release ninjas.

The sky over the Land of Hot Springs has changed!

Chapter 10: The Chaotic Team 9, Jonin-Level Speed!

The oxcart moved very slowly, roughly at the speed of a person walking.

Starting from Konoha, the four members of Team 9 spread out around the oxcart, forming a square formation to protect Minako in the center.

Of course, this formation is not static.

Like now, the formation has been missing a corner for a long time.

"Ms. Minako, you look worried. Is there something you haven't told us yet?"

"Huh? Miss Minako?"

Lin tried to communicate with Minako, but the other girl remained silent.

The first attempt to extract information failed.

noon.

During their short break, Class 9 got together for a meal.

"Lin, continue trying to communicate with Minako this afternoon."
