"It's Naruto, Sasuke, and Susuke."
"Yes. I'm busy, but my two teammates are busier right now."
"It's just me, all alone."
Upon hearing this, Naruto thought, "Isn't it a coincidence that I'm not going to speak?"
"Well, Neji's gone to get treatment, and Hinata's gone to the field to study medical ninjutsu."
“Our team is missing one person, me.”
"Would you like to join us on a mission?"
The missions of the ninja village are not limited to the village itself; no one can refuse to take on the task.
However, some tasks require collaboration among multiple people to complete.
Or the task requirements might be clearly stated above, such as requiring a small team.
Not every ninja has a fixed teammate.
Or, to put it another way, when a regular teammate has something to say but doesn't, they can still come to help.
There will also be temporary situations where this team is formed.
Neji was looking for teammates, and Naruto and Sasuke happened to be acquaintances of each other.
Moreover, both of them are close friends of Kawasaki University.
Neji readily agreed without hesitation.
"Alright, Naruto, let's go on this mission together!"
Sasuke acknowledged Neji's strength and therefore had no objections.
The three of them quickly formed a team.
Because recently, many merchant caravans have been traveling to and from Konoha.
Therefore, there are many escort missions for the forest rangers.
The escort route was not far, not too far.
All three of them felt that this kind of task was not wrong.
So let's start with these tasks related to sex.
For nearby areas, it will shrink in a few hours; for those further away, it might take one or two days.
Although all three were genin, their strength was greater than that of most chunin.
They are highly capable and complete tasks quickly.
He quickly became a familiar face in the mission system.
Even if the day clerk isn't there, other employees still see Naruto and the others.
They also began to provide some convenience for Naruto and others.
During this period, many forces tested Konoha.
This leads to an increase in the workload.
Hijiri also enjoys the company of Sasuke and Naruto.
He delegated many tasks that he could handle to others.
Because of their recent activity, some ambitious people have also set their sights on them.
In a hotel near the Hokage's main building in Konoha Village.
On the surface, it's the Yiqingguo Merchant Guild, which trades fruits and herbs in Muguoguoye Village.
In reality, they are spies from the Grass Ninja Village, specifically from the Grass Ninja faction.
Kota and Yusuke are both exceptionally skilled intelligence agents.
Over the years, it has provided a lot of information for the company.
It has made very substantial contributions to the growth of the grass.
They had tolerated the grass for many years.
Later, his superiors discovered that he had a talent for being a spy.
They simply repackaged them as a business association, letting them operate under the guise of commerce.
They went to various ninja villages to gather intelligence.
This time, Konoha is holding a large-scale Chunin Exam, and a great many people have come to Konoha to take the exam.
Moreover, a large number of the Hyuga clan members have disappeared.
This made many people feel that it was a good opportunity to gather intelligence.
The Grass Ninja Village is no exception.
Kota and Yusuke, these two individuals, use the excuse of buying and selling herbs to borrow medicine every day.
I've found out quite a bit of information.
The two of them were each busy for a while.
Today, the two people present are summarizing the situation.
Xiao Tai had a round head and a round face, and he looked like a kind and honest businessman.
It makes people feel good at first glance.
Yusuke is of average build and looks, which is his most distinctive feature.
It simply lacks any distinctive features.
Such a person, if thrown into a crowd, could almost disappear instantly.
Both of them were very careful. After entering the room, the one with the hand took out a scroll.
Open it.
The top part is the character "静" (jing, meaning quiet/still).
After the two of them channeled their chakra into the shield, it slowly unfolded.
It spread to half a room (bfff) in size.
At this moment, no one could hear what the two people were saying, and the people outside could not hear them either.
Xiao Tai whispered, "Tao-Tao should be safe now, right?"
Yusuke said casually:
"Don't worry, this barrier isn't the first time it's been used."
"In Konoha, the only person Shiro needs to be careful of is Shiro with the Byakugan."
"So many people from the Hyuga clan have died; now there are so few of them left, it's pitiful."
"How could I possibly be able to use White Eye 893 to monitor and control both of us?"
"Besides, this Kage is close to the Hokage's main building."
"The most dangerous places are also the safest places."
Kota then spoke again, saying, "What you said is also true."
"I recently discovered something strange."
Then, when Takashi Tai was in charge, he told Yusuke.
When exploring the Leaf Village mission system.
They discovered that Ming was an exceptionally diligent person.
"So many Uchiha people have moved out."
"Why is Uchiha Naoto Sasuke always in the village?"
"He was still wearing a headband made of wood and leaves."
Yusuke was somewhat suspicious and puzzled:
"I went out of my way to investigate Uchiha Sasuke's teammate."
"His name is Naruto Uzumaki. He is very likely the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki."
"Sasuke probably plotted against Naohara Kijima because he's been plotting against Konoha all along."
Kota's small eyes widened slightly in surprise:
"A Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? Maybe not the Nine-Tails."
"Shouldn't the number of people in a village be kept secret? Is it a secret?"
Yusuke shook his head:
"I don't understand it either, but it's not exactly a secret in Konoha."
"Whether it's an adult or a child, everyone calls Naruto a demon fox."
"The son of a fox spirit."
"I secretly investigated many ordinary people."
"I also learned that the disaster many years ago was caused by a demonic fox spirit."
"Someone in the family has gone to the underworld."
"The Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage in Konoha many years ago."
"The timing of all nine parts matches perfectly."
"I think, apart from the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, there are no other humans."
"There shouldn't be any more nine different ones, there shouldn't be any more."
They had tried to obtain information about the Hyuga clan.
As a result, the Hyuga clan's defenses were extremely strict.
