Chapter 42
After Bai figured it all out, he stood up straight and bowed deeply to Inuzuka Tsumugi and Kakashi beside him.
"I am very sorry, I am afraid that my future self will waste a lot of your time".
Inuzuka Tsume looked at Bai's humble attitude and couldn't help but touch Bai's soft hair and said with a smile:"Bai, we will be teammates in the future, so there is no trouble or no trouble."
"We can also take this time as a vacation."
"Did you say Kakashi?"
Inuzuka Tsume turned his head and looked at Kakashi who had been expressionless. Kakashi nodded helplessly after feeling this look.
Bai was slightly moved and bowed to the two of them and said:"Thank you both for your understanding."
"And Mr. Minato, please give me more advice in the future. How about this, I will invite you all to BBQ Q for a BBQ meal as an apology for bothering you seniors with your time." As soon as
Bai said this, he immediately gained the favor of the three people. Who doesn't like their partner to be a strong and sensible person, especially this partner is so polite?
"OK, but this time let me, the teacher, pay for it."
"It's a bit inappropriate to let your apprentice pay for the meal for the first time."
Namikaze Minato said with a smile, Bai didn't strengthen his temper after hearing this. Anyway, after eating this barbecue, the relationship between them will definitely be much better, and they will definitely be able to return this favor in the future, so there is no rush.
The four of them walked towards the barbecue restaurant of the Akimichi family, talking and laughing. Bai walked in the middle and kept chatting with Inuzuka Tale, and had to endure the ravages of this old girl from time to time.
Occasionally, Bai also had to take care of the mood of Kakashi next to him. Bai suddenly became the glue of this team, making this team more harmonious.
…………
The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone on the earth. Bai came to the entrance of the village early in the morning, rubbing his red ears.
""Teacher Minato, I'm here."
Bai greeted him while organizing his ninja tools. Today, Minato Namikaze is still standing at the entrance of the village like a little sun, greeting the ninjas passing by.
Although Minato Namikaze's strength is not well known, as Jiraiya's apprentice, Minato Namikaze is still very famous. The ninjas coming and going all know Minato Namikaze, the eye-catching yellow-haired ninja.
"Bai, you came quite early."!
"Is everything ready?"
""I'm ready, don't worry, Minato-sensei."
Bai clenched his pink fist and said firmly. Namikaze Minato smiled and didn't remind him of anything. Instead, the look he gave from time to time made Bai a little confused.
After a while, Kakashi and Inuzuka Tale arrived at the entrance of the village. After seeing that everyone was there, Namikaze Minato waved his hand and gave the order.
"Set off"
"Yes".
Several people quickly put their hands behind their backs and leaned forward slightly to make a ninja-specific running posture, and quickly ran to the destination.
Fortunately, Minato Namikaze was running in the front and smiled and said to Bai next to him:"Bai, the bandit this time is on the official road at the border of the Land of Fire."
"They have a fixed location, and it takes us a day to run there at full speed."
"However, we may encounter spies from other ninja villages and ninjas on commission at the border of the Land of Fire, so we must ensure that more than half of our chakra and physical strength are ready for battle at any time."
"So when we go on this mission, we just need to try to reach the destination within two days."
"We can rest for one night in a town along the way."
""Oh."
Bai nodded thoughtfully and continued to follow Minato Namikaze and run forward.
Soon it was night. The whole team walked and stopped along the way and finally finished most of the journey at night. Several people came to a small town. This town was not very prosperous. In Bai's opinion, this town could only be regarded as a village at most.
But this place still has hotels, casinos and hot spring streets. Under the leadership of Minato Namikaze, Bai went to a hotel, opened a few rooms and moved in to rest. After a night's rest, Bai got up early the next morning with Minato Namikaze's wake-up service and continued on his way.
Because most of the journey was completed the day before, the rest of the journey was reached in less than half a day.
When they arrived at the destination, Minato Namikaze looked at the wisp of smoke occasionally rising from the mountain and smiled and said,"It seems that we have found the target."
Bai listened to Minato Namikaze's words and asked hesitantly,"Teacher Minato, should we ask the villagers around first? Where are the bandits in this place? What if we accidentally get the wrong target after we go up there?"
Namikaze Minato said without turning his head:"The surrounding villages have been almost looted by these bandits. Even if our target is shifted, we can still wipe out the bandits in this area."
"And we are not going to kill them directly. As a ninja, Bai's most important task is to gather intelligence about the enemy, so as to ensure that he will not be affected unnecessarily during the battle."
"" Claw, the task of gathering intelligence is now given to you. This is the portrait of the bandit leader, go and see if these bandit leaders are in the village."
Inuzuka Claw took the scroll, opened it and took a look, then nodded and patted his chest and said:"Don't worry, captain, I will definitely help you find out all the important information." After
Inuzuka Claw finished speaking, he immediately disappeared into the jungle with Hei Wan. Bai looked at Inuzuka Claw who left and fell into deep thought.
The three of them hid in the jungle separately, quietly waiting for Inuzuka Kiba and his mother to finish investigating the target and come back with all the information.
About half an hour later, Inuzuka Claw ran back with a grim face. Bai looked at her expression and knew that she was not feeling well, so he hurried over and asked:"Senior Claw, did you encounter anything?"
Inuzuka Claw shook his head and said:"The number of bandits in the village is roughly correct, and the three bosses are also there, but they are all in a conference room. There are too many people and I dare not get too close"
"There is a cave behind the village, and there are many women in the cave."
When Bai heard this, he understood why Inuzuka Tsume had such an ugly expression. What good ending could a girl kidnapped by bandits have? Wouldn't she just be treated as a plaything?
As a young girl, when she saw the tragic fate of other girls, she would inevitably feel sympathy and disgust in her heart. It was normal to feel bad.
Bai walked over and gently grabbed Inuzuka Tsume's hand and stroked the back of her hand to soothe her mood. Bai's warm gesture made Inuzuka Tsume, who had an ugly expression, feel a little better, and his expression was not so ugly. Namikaze Minato stood up and said,"Very good, Bai, you will be the main attacker this time. Kakashi and Tsume assisted Bai to prevent the enemy from escaping."
""Yes".
The three of them nodded and then looked at Bai with curious eyes. Bai forced an ugly smile and took out a shuriken and rushed towards the village.
Shuriken is a weapon that can attack from a distance, avoiding direct combat so that Bai will not be stained with blood.
