Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 122 The Fruit of Grass

As night fell, Chiga and the other three quickly finished what they were supposed to do.

Sarutobi Asuma set up a tent, while Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune started a fire and cooked a meal.

As for Chiga, he had already summoned hundreds of crows, which perched around the temporary camp to keep watch at all times.

Not only that, he also released a sealing barrier around him, so that Chiga could quickly detect any movement.

The four sat together around the fire, eating their food in silence.

At this moment, Chiga took out the map and carefully examined it by the dim light of the campfire.

After locating their current position and Kusagakure on the map, Chiga assessed the distance and said, "It'll probably be another day's journey to Kusagakure."

"We're almost there! By the way, Chiga, have you figured out how you're going to infiltrate Kusagakure?" Sarutobi Asuma stretched and asked excitedly.

An A-level mission! He never imagined he could jump directly from a D-level mission to an A-level mission; it was something he never dared to dream of.

During their journey, Chiga had already told Sarutobi Asuma and the other two about the A-rank mission.

Grass Village is a very strange ninja village.

There are two factions: one is the pro-war faction "Kusa no Mi" who wants to revive Kusagakure, and the other is the anti-war faction "Kusa no Hana".

The two sides are like oil and water.

Behind these two forces stand two great nations, the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire.

Neither of these two countries intended to consolidate the power of the Grass Country.

The two sides act as pawns, each controlling their own power.

Therefore, the Land of Grass is constantly in the midst of war.

This time, the pro-war faction, Kusanagi, received a large amount of material support from Iwagakure. Relying on the Iwagakure's excellent ninja tools and numerous explosive tags, they temporarily suppressed the anti-war faction, Kusanagi.

In response, the ninjas of the Grass Flower Village also wanted to get help from the Land of Fire to reverse their disadvantage.

Unfortunately, with a heartless person like Hiruzen Sarutobi around, obtaining resources from the Land of Fire for free is not so easy.

But it wouldn't be right not to help; after all, it's one of our own dogs, how could we just stand by and watch it get bullied?

So, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought, since they wouldn't give us supplies, why not just destroy their supplies?

This led to the A-level mission.

Chiga accepted this mission because she considered that Kusanagi and Konoha were on good terms and that they wouldn't be hiding a member of the Uzumaki clan.

It's highly likely that Misa, who is in the vortex, is near the Grass Fruit.

Even if something goes wrong, we can just go back to the grass flower area and take another look.

"not yet."

Chiga replied.

"Huh? I thought you had already planned how to get in before accepting this mission!"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes rolled back in his head.

"Don't get excited. There's always a way. Once we get to the Land of Grass, we'll naturally know how to infiltrate. If all else fails, we'll just cause a huge ruckus!"

Each ninja village sets up a protective barrier around itself, and Chiga was confident she could infiltrate the Grass Ninja Village without breaking through that barrier.

As for what to do after entering Kusagakure, that's the more troublesome part.

Furthermore, they also need to find a place to store the supplies.

"Hmph, anyway, you're the captain, so it's your job to figure out how to proceed."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma said nothing more.

Chiga closed the map and said, "We'll take turns keeping watch tonight."

Asuma was a little displeased upon hearing this: "This is the Land of Fire. What need is there for night watch here? Do you think any grass ninja could possibly break through our defenses and get here?"

Chiga ignored Asuma's complaints and calmly replied, "A ninja must always be vigilant to survive. Have you forgotten everything you learned in school?"

"Okay, okay, okay. You're the captain, you make the decisions."

Asuma was just talking; the defenses weren't without flaws, and they were already at the border of the Land of Fire, so they couldn't be too careful.

Chiga looked at Kurenai and Shizune and said, "You two will keep watch together. I'll take the first half of the night, and Asuma will take over after midnight. You two will then take over Asuma's shift at 4 AM. Get up at 7 AM tomorrow to continue your journey."

Pretty girls always have special privileges, and even Chiga gave the two girls some special treatment.

However, this was not the main reason why Chiga did not allow the two of them to keep watch for a long time. The more important reason was that Shizune and Kurenai were weaker than him and Asuma, and they did not have the ability to conduct reconnaissance, so Chiga was a little worried.

Upon hearing Chiga's words, Shizune and Kurenai pouted, about to say something, but Asuma interrupted them: "Okay, wake me up when it's time for the night shift change!"

After saying that, he went into the tent.

Hong was somewhat displeased that Chiga and Asuma had left her off guard without her consent. Asuma had already entered the tent, so Hong could only glare fiercely at Chiga: "Don't underestimate me!"

"Yes, and Chiga, you've already set up a barrier and crows around here, so keeping watch is just a formality. You don't need to give us any special treatment!"

"Silence also said."

Chiga ignored Kurenai's murderous glare and calmly picked her nose: "I'm the captain. Do you want to disobey my orders?"

"snort!"

Hong snorted softly and could only obediently walk into the tent. Seeing this, Jingyin silently followed behind Hong.

When the three of them entered the tent, Chiga was taken aback.

Why is there only one tent?

He entrusted the tent-setting to Sarutobi Asuma, but now it seems Sarutobi Asuma is very cunning!

Logically speaking, ninjas wouldn't mind sharing a tent with their comrades, but if conditions allowed, male and female ninjas would still separate.

After thinking for a moment, Qianhe called out to the three people in the tent, "Wait a minute, the three of you squeezing into one tent won't be able to sleep at night, and you won't have the energy to travel during the day. I'll set up another tent for you."

As soon as Chiga finished speaking, a kunai suddenly flew out of the tent and stuck at Chiga's feet.

Immediately afterwards, Shizune and Hong, their faces flushed, came out.

It goes without saying that the kunai was thrown by the furious Asuma.

As for Shizune and Kurenai, they hadn't thought much of it at first, but after Chiga said that, their thoughts started to wander.

With Chiga's enthusiastic help, Shizune and Kurenai quickly set up a tent.

Throughout the entire process, Qianhe felt a gaze filled with intense killing intent watching his every move.

"hehe!"

In response, Chiga chuckled smugly twice.

After this little incident, the temporary camp quickly quieted down, and Sarutobi Asuma and his two companions fell into a deep sleep.

Chiga, meanwhile, stared listlessly at the fire.

Thank you, Du Xiaoxing, for the donation!
