"Ah, it feels so good after taking a bath."

Ayane came from the other side of the woods with her long wet hair, and her skin was still tinged with water vapor, and her skin was rosy white.

Behind her was Liuli who remained silent.

Shiraishi glanced at the two of them, quickly took out Kunai from the ninja bag, and said to Ayane and Liuli, "Before you come here, tell us the secret signal."

"signal?"

Ayane was stunned.

Liuli stood beside him expressionlessly and began to seal, chakra accumulated in his mouth, and he spit it out immediately:

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

A huge fireball attacked Baishi head-on.

Baishi fell to the side, dodging the fireball's attack in embarrassment.

Seeing the trees burned by the fireball behind him, cold sweat broke out on his face.

"How is the answer to this code?"

Liuli smiled, as if she was about to release a second fireball.

Baishi stood up, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Yes, it's fine. It's just a joke, there's no need to use the fire escape to call directly, right?"

"It's more convincing, isn't it?"

Liuli said confidently.

"Yeah, it's much more convincing than a simple code..."

Shiraishi sighed and rubbed his sore buttocks.

"Mr. Baishi is also true. I thought we really had some secret code before."

Ayane walked over and said.

Just as Baishi was about to say something, Liuli looked around, but couldn't find Shuo Mao, so she asked, "Where did Teacher Shuo Mao go?"

"I went to look for ingredients. There is not much food in the backpack. I need to go to the sentry point to replenish it tomorrow."

Shiraishi took out his backpack and said.

"I really want to eat Yile ramen. I always eat dry food and game outside, and I almost forget what ramen tastes like."

Ayane rubbed her belly, sat on a rock and complained.

"Be patient, it will be much better when the war is over."

These days, the food Baishi and others eat are basically cold products. Only when there is not much food, they will use local materials, but the food is also very simple, fishing from the river, or finding some wild vegetables in the forest And mushrooms, used to satisfy hunger.

"Mr. Shiraishi, why don't you just invent a portable ramen?"

"You can think about Bingliangwan, but let's forget about ramen."

Shiraishi shook his head, ignoring Ayane's request.

"Okay, just eat more when you go to the sentry point tomorrow. You and Mr. Shuo Mao didn't find anything here just now, did you?"

Liuli carefully observed the surrounding environment, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

"No, Sakumo-sensei and I were just chatting about the next Hokage."

Shiraishi told the truth.

"Hey, is Baishi-kun interested in this kind of thing?"

Ayane was a little curious.

Shiraishi glanced at Ayane.

"Because Sakumo-sensei is the closest Jonin to the position of Hokage, in another ten years, after the three generations of adults get old, Sakumo-sensei will have the most appeals to become Hokage. Even Sannin will be at a disadvantage. It’s worthy of the name.”

Shiraishi began to analyze rationally.

Regarding Shiraishi's opinion, Liuli and Ayane did not refute it.

As it turns out, Konoha Baiya is indeed Konoha's most appealing jonin, and Sannin is also a bit lower.

"The village is a country. If you want to advance politically, you need more than the support of the common people. Mr. Sakumo, he can't get the support of the ninja, and his personality is not suitable for Hokage. Sometimes, fame is equal to A double-edged sword, not only the capital for promotion, but also..."

Liuli leaned against the tree, with her hands folded in front of her chest, with a very serious expression on her face, when she reached the end, Liuli didn't continue.

Born as a seed-type ninja that was mainly cultivated by a big family, Liuli is not ignorant of politics, but is not interested in this aspect at all.

Sakumo's reputation, strength, and character are indeed enough, but the support of ordinary people is not enough to become Hokage.

In Liuli's eyes, the so-called commoner ninjas don't have a complete whole at all, the factions are complicated, and their interests are too scattered. If no one integrates them, these people will never be successful.

In contrast, most ninjas have already formed a community of interests. They know what they want to do, what they will gain, and what they will sacrifice, and they have the same goal.

"Listen well, the so-called Hokage...is just a boring game of power alternation at the top, and has nothing to do with the bottom."

Hearing Liuli who made such remarks, Ayane seemed to be a little worried: "Well, Liuli, is it a bit unkind to say that? I think you can only become Hokage if you are recognized by the whole village."

"Are you an idiot? If you don't do this, Hokage's reputation will be ruined in the village. You are also a member of the Great Ninja Clan. Isn't your height and cognition not enough to see the essence of Hokage?" ?For me, as long as I have the strength and the idea, the position of Hokage is at my fingertips. Mr. Sakumo lacks that kind of idea, so he is an excellent Konoha Jōnin, but he is definitely not the Hokage. Chunks."

A confident smile appeared on Liuli's face, as if she never made a mistake in her opinion.

Ayane puffed out her mouth angrily, a little bit aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, you two, it's still too early to be selected as the next Hokage. At least the most important thing right now is how to complete the tasks assigned by the above."

Baishi hurried over to be a peacemaker.

As for Liuli's temperament, Baishi figured it out very early on.

She didn't have much respect and awe for the existence of Hokage.

What she respects is only the third Hokage, a ninja named Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Respect for a powerful ninja, not out of respect for Hokage's identity.

As long as you follow this way of thinking, Liuli's thoughts are actually very straightforward and easy to understand.

After a while, Shuo Mao came back from hunting and found two hares and some fish, which were reserved for dinner in the evening.

Before that, they had to find a safe place to hide in the huge hunting ground of the forest.



The next day, came to the nearest sentinel. ?

The place has been destroyed, a large number of buildings collapsed, and more than a dozen Konoha ninjas fell in the ruins, bleeding all over the place.

Coming here with Shuo Mo's team, there is also a small class, Anbu.

There is a squad leader and three team members in the Anbu of this class.

The squad leader is a Jōnin, one of the three members is a Jōnin, and two are Chunin.

Shiraishi was trying his best to rescue a Konoha ninja who was lying in a pool of blood. His injury was so severe that his entire chest was blown apart by the detonating talisman, and he was on the verge of death.

That's it, he hasn't died yet. This Konoha ninja has a very strong desire to survive.

Because the building at the sentinel was completely destroyed, Baishi could only use emergency surgery outside, but Baishi was not very sure about the survival rate.

When they came here, this Konoha ninja had already missed the best time for surgery.

As for whether he can survive, he can only resign himself to his fate and see if he himself can survive.

Shuo Mao and others did not disturb Shiraishi's operation, but began to search for other traces in the ruins.

"It was a large-scale earth escape ninjutsu. It directly knocked down the buildings at the sentry point. After that, there was a sudden surprise attack, which made the people here have no time to defend. The first time they met, they were almost wiped out by the enemy."

The squad leader Anbu wore a mask, and after a professional survey, he briefly explained some problems.

"One high ninja, six middle ninja, and eleven low ninja, can't even resist?"

Shuo Mao's eyes were serious.

"It is likely to be the special sand hidden force that your team encountered more than two months ago."

Anbu squad leader said.

"Have you verified their identities?" Shuo Mao looked at the Anbu squad leader.

"The leader, a man and a woman, is the son and daughter-in-law of Sagakushi's adviser, Chiyo, and is also one of the best masters in the Sagakushi puppet army. As for the Sagakushi ninja who can easily divide the battlefield, there is no news yet."

Shuo Mo nodded after listening.

At this moment, Ayane came over and reported to Shuo Maohui: "Mr. Shuo Mao, some of the supplies in the sentry point were taken away, and the remaining ones were burned. What should we do next?"

"Go to another checkpoint later. By the way, can you send another unit of Anbu over?"

Sakumo looked at the squad leader Anbe.

"Impossible. At any time, there will be two Anbu's in the village. The Anbu of the other team will assist in the dark on the front line and collect intelligence. Now the Anbu can send only our team. Light That’s right, even with the help of the guards, the village’s defenses have become very weak.”

"In short, I hope to send some more people, preferably experts in tracking. I know that the manpower in the village is also very tight, but now is not the time to worry about these things."

"Understood, I will report to Hokage-sama. As for whether we can send more people, it depends on Hokage-sama's decision."

"please."

The Anbu squad leader made a gesture, and the other three Anbu companions nodded in understanding, and left here with the instant body technique.

"Can it be done, Teacher Shuo Mao?" Ayane asked.

Shuo Mao shook his head. He couldn't guarantee that the village would send more people to investigate.

Just relying on Ayane's white eyes alone, the scope of investigation is still too small.

The enemy troops also have excellent perception ninjas, and are proficient in anti-reconnaissance capabilities. They deliberately look for weakly defended outposts to carry out surprise attacks, causing chaos within the Fire Country. Over time, it is easy to cause huge pressure on the Konoha ninjas on the front line.

But the Land of Fire is so big, and the whereabouts of the hidden sand troops are often erratic, with no rules to follow at all, which caused difficulties in the search.

Back to Shiraishi, Shiraishi had finished the operation and was bandaging the wounded man's external wound.

"Baishi, how is it, can he wake up?"

"This kind of thing can only depend on how strong his will to survive is. That's all I can do."

Shiraishi packed up the medical kit and put it back in his backpack.

Shuo Mo patted Shiraishi on the shoulder.

"You've done well enough, medical ninjas are not gods."

For Shuo Mao's comfort, Baishi didn't intend to say anything.
