This task is not difficult for Ino, so I just accept it.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on him."
Ino was going, and so was Naruto. It would be too sudden for the two of them to go out, and they needed two assistants.
Sakura and Sasuke came into sight. It happened that Team 7 had not performed a mission together for a long time. Both Minato and Kakashi felt that the bond between them should be deepened. Jiraiya happily approved and let Team 7
Let's team up again.
The village of Iwagakure is very resilient. It has been fighting hard for half a year. It has no intention of withdrawing its troops and going back to repair. Kakashi and Metkai are still holding on to the western front.
Ino became the temporary leader of Team 7 as a jounin, taking two chuunin and a genin to perform a mission in the Kingdom of Demons.
Naruto had not been out of the village on a mission for a long time, and he was so excited that when he left the village, he even put on new clothes given to him by Jiraiya.
It turns out that the orange jacket with a white collar, blue shoulders and a pen hanging on the shoulder is officially retired.
The new skin is still a sportswear with orange as the main color, this time the shoulders, collar and cuffs are all black.
He no longer drank expired milk every day, and as his nutrition kept up, Naruto's height soared from 1.47 meters to 1.66 meters.
If he doesn't speak, he does seem to be much more stable than two years ago.
Sasuke's outfit is similar to before. He is still wearing a black one-piece battle suit with a white bandage wrapped around his right leg. He has fought on the Western Front for half a year and has killed many Iwagakure ninjas. He has experienced the training of blood and fire, and he looks quite capable.
.
Sakura's size has improved slightly compared to before. A little curvature can be seen from the side. Her clothes are a bit imitating the style of Xiang Phosphorus. The top zipper is not pulled all the way, exposing her navel and a small area around it.
skin.
When Sasuke closed his eyes and rested his mind, she stretched her waist and stretched her body in an exaggerated way.
"You're so naughty." Ino rolled her eyes at her.
Sakura was so angry that she clenched her fists, but thinking that she couldn't beat her, she didn't dare to say a word.
"Hehehe, Chuunin Haruno Sakura, you must obey orders when performing tasks." She looked at Sakura with a smile, and she felt very happy that the other party was obviously angry, but she couldn't be angry.
Neither Naruto nor Sasuke said anything, only Sakura was angry. The angrier she became, the more Ino wanted to tease her.
After getting the official mission document, Ino looked at the new mission description. It was similar to the previous information. The shrine maiden of the Ghost Country discovered that there were some strange ninjas in the country spying on the seal information. She was worried about the safety of the sealed land, so she commissioned the five great ninjas.
The village helped investigate and find the person behind it.
"The land of ghosts?..." Naruto was not afraid of anything but ghosts. At this moment, just hearing a name made his face turn pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Sasuke muttered "The end of the crane" disdainfully.
A witch from the land of ghosts?
Ino thought for a while, and seemed to have some memory. It should be a relatively big thing in Naruto. Since it is just doing some investigation work, it means that the matter is still in its early stages.
This country is on the westernmost side of the entire continent. Further west, there is a civilized desert, a truly uninhabited ghost land. It is said that the land there is extremely barren and is a 100% forbidden area for life.
Ino didn't have any extra thoughts about this. The country of ghosts was the country of ghosts.
"What is the level of this mission?" Sakura asked.
Ino said about the village's decision: "This mission is definitely not easy. There are undercurrents in the ninja world. Everyone should be careful. The mission is temporarily designated as A level. Depending on the situation, it may be upgraded to S level at any time."
As soon as he heard that it was an A-level or S-level mission, Naruto immediately threw away his fear of ghosts. He seemed to think that the more high-level missions he did, the closer he would be to the Hokage's position.
"Go back and pack your belongings. Meet at the entrance of the village in thirty minutes." Ino gave a formal order, and the three students in Class 7 responded in unison.
They left the Country of Fire that night and took the southern route, entering the Country of Sichuan, followed by the Allies Country of Wind, Country of Birds and Country of Bears, and three days later they arrived at the Country of Kasumi in the far west. It is said that here
It is a country where you can see the beautiful sunset in the evening. Passing through this country is the country of ghosts.
Ino used the reason that the Country of Rain was closed to the outside world and deliberately avoided the territory occupied by the gay heavenly group and took a long detour.
Leaving the fertile territory of the Fire Country, the further west you go, the more remote you become, with sparsely populated people, sparse vegetation, and extremely harsh living conditions.
There are so many bandits and robbers on the road, and the local governments are so colluding that many times it is difficult to tell whether they are officials or bandits.
The Country of Kasumi not only has beautiful sunsets, but also has endless bandits.
Ino's worldview is very mature and there is nothing to think about. If you don't mess with me, I will pretend that you don't know. If you dare to mess with me, I will kill you.
Leaving the rich Land of Fire and heading west, the civilians were living in hell. Seeing this cruel scene, Naruto and Sakura, who had never left the village, seemed quite confused.
Sakura rescued an old man who was almost eaten by a tiger. They rested for a night and found out the next day that the old man had gone to the mountains again.
"Why does that old man still want to go to the mountains? Isn't he afraid of death? I see there are farmlands at the foot of the mountains." Sakura really couldn't figure it out and couldn't help but ask.
Sasuke was not interested in this matter, but Naruto listened with questions on his face. In order to improve their worldview, Ino explained a few words.
"With your wide forehead, you only see danger. Yes, it is very dangerous to go into the mountains. There are tigers in the mountains, but what about at the bottom of the mountains? There are tax collectors at the bottom of the mountains. They think that the officials are more vicious than the tigers, so they would rather go into the mountains."
Sakura was stunned: "Then...is there no way to help them?"
"It's definitely possible, but it's very troublesome. Come to my room tonight and I'll tell you in detail..."
...
Ino and Team 7 traveled day and night, and finally found the Kingdom of Ghosts at the end of the vast Gobi Desert.
This is a small desert country outside the world.
As if they have traveled through time, the soldiers here are dressed in simple costumes, each holding a two-meter-high bow and twelve arrows in the quiver behind them.
The five major countries paid money to let the Kingdom of Ghosts guard the sealed place. You can see specialties from each country on the streets here, and occasionally you can see some businessmen, monks, and farmers.
Under the governance of the shrine maiden, the living environment of the civilians here is much better than that of the Kasumi Country where "tyranny is tougher than a tiger".
Ino took Team 7 directly to see the leader of the Ghost Country, the legendary miko with the power of prophecy.
"Her Highness the Miko is the spiritual symbol of this country, please maintain sufficient etiquette!" A young man who was regarded as an attendant expressed serious dissatisfaction with the way the four of them dressed.
You are hired ninjas, and you compete with each other to become younger. Are you all children of Konoha Village? Is this a ninja game?
