The conversation between the two made Moonlight Gale a little confused.
Later he found out that Jonin Chen Long did not come to this mission willingly. After the break from the war a year or two ago, he was exhausted physically and mentally due to various reasons and was old. This Konoha Taijutsu
The master has already come up with the idea of resigning and retiring.
In the world of Naruto, the essence of ninja is just a profession, so of course you can resign or change careers.
It just so happened that Chen Long, who was about to turn 60 this year, had recently relapsed from an old illness. He simply took advantage of the illness to recuperate at home. This state lasted for more than half a year. Just when he was determined to resign, he encountered another
The Nine-Tails Rebellion...
Since the Kyuubi Incident caused a lot of losses to the jounin in the village, there was a backlog of entrusted tasks in a short period of time, and his resignation report was postponed as a result.
This postponement ushered in the outbreak of war again. It was clearly stipulated that ninjas were not allowed to resign during the war. Regarding this, Chen Long felt helpless and depressed. In fact, he had a chance to apply for resignation. Still remember that?
The last time he went to the Hokage's office to meet with the Yondaime, he was miserable. After all, it was a fact that he had been suffering from old illnesses that had not been completely eradicated. It could be said that he was dismissed based on this reason, but he didn't expect that he would be in charge of the job.
After Minato Namikaze confirmed his name and resume, he somehow became very concerned about him. Not only did he enthusiastically inquire about his old illness and physical condition, but he also helped him find Tsunade-sama for personal diagnosis and treatment...
…
There was no other way. Seeing the backlog of tasks in the village and the Hokage-sama being so concerned about his illness, how could he refuse if he begged him to postpone his dismissal under such circumstances?
"That's all, the front is about to enter the combat zone, let's take a final short rest..."
Perhaps because he did not dare to challenge Tsunade's majesty, Chen Long sighed helplessly, stopped first, and then explained to Moonlight Hayate, who was still blinded: "I'm sorry, I have an old illness and need to be on time.
It only takes a few minutes to apply the medicine."
At this time, the girl in black and Moonlight Gale heard the words and stopped, and the three of them gathered together.
While unloading his backpack and searching for medicines, Chen Long suddenly told Yueguang Gale in a chatty tone: "Little fellow of the Yueguang clan, I heard that you are the only one who has awakened the family bloodline in recent years. This time
The reconnaissance mission is up to you..."
"Chen...cough cough cough..."
Suddenly hearing Chen Long talking about himself and preparing to rely on his immature escaping ability, Yueguang Galifeng suddenly felt a little scared. A sudden discomfort in his chest made him cough a few times before he hurriedly continued: "Chen Long
Senior, although this junior has insufficient investigative experience and his evasion ability is not yet mature, he will still do his best for this mission."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Long's hands stopped searching for his backpack.
Then he turned his head weirdly and looked straight at Moonlight Blast, who had vowed to do so. The latter was naturally stunned by Chen Long's move. Seeing the other person's expression was strange, and his eyes under the sunglasses were difficult to see, Moonlight Blast
For a moment, I thought I might have said something wrong somewhere, and became even more confused.
But what he didn't expect was that Chen Long suddenly grinned and smiled: "Yes, the little guy is very responsible as a ninja. He is worthy of being the candidate chosen by the senior management..."
"However, war is ruthless."
After saying this, Chen Long remembered something and couldn't help but sigh slightly, and continued to look for the medicine in his backpack.
Sure enough, he was a strange old man. Even the girl in black couldn't help but have this thought in her mind. For a moment, the atmosphere fell into silence. One person was alert to the surrounding situation, and the other person continued to 'monitor' Chen Long looking for medicine...
But the weird and heavy atmosphere didn't last long. After Moonlight Gale took a distant view of the uninhabited snowfields nearby, he heard Chen Long behind him pretending to be surprised and strangely screaming: "Ah, I really want to forget it."
Here comes the medicine.
It seems that I am really old, and memory loss is really a troubling thing..."
After sharing the backpack, Chen Long's face was filled with regret. Just when he thought his plan had succeeded and he could justifiably escape the pain of applying the medicine, what he saw when he turned around made his face collapse again.
"Senior Chen, don't worry, I have backed up the medicine you need in advance."
The girl in black was holding a medicine box in both hands and looking at him with a smile. Although the little girl looked innocent and had a nice smile, in Chen Long's eyes she had a bit of a devilish smile.
"Thank you so much, little girl Shizune..."
With a hint of complexity and pain in his smile, Chen Long reluctantly took the medicine box, finally realizing that he could no longer escape the fate of taking medicine today.
Out of curiosity, Moonlight Gale on the other side seemed to see some clues in Chen Long's eyes, and couldn't help but interject: "I didn't expect that Senior Chen Long still went on missions despite being ill. It's really hard..."
Chen Long waved his hand, not paying much attention: "It's an old disease, it's just a common problem among taijutsu ninjas."
While he was speaking, his eyes were looking at the medicine box in his hand, as if he was dawdling with it, and did not immediately take out the medicine for application. At the same time, his eyes were flickering and hesitant, and his expression was unusually troubled.
Seeing this scene, Shizune seemed to understand something, pursed her lips, and turned to walk in the direction of Moonlight Gale.
"Senior Chen needs some private space when taking medicine. Let's explore the surrounding terrain first..." As she passed by Moonlight Blast, Shizune suddenly hinted at the former with her eyes, and then she kept walking.
Moonlight Hayate still wanted to ask what the common problems of taijutsu ninjas mentioned by Chen Long were, but after hearing what Shizune said, he had no choice but to follow her.
After walking about a hundred or two hundred meters, the two of them stopped until Chen Long's figure was obscured by a few rocks.
Shizune, who was walking in front, looked at the desolate snow-white color further away. A gust of cold wind blew by, and she couldn't help but rub her hands. Apparently her clothes were still a little thin.
But she is a ninja after all, so she still has the ability to withstand the cold.
"It's really reassuring to have a medical ninja in the mission team."
Moonlight Gale, who came from behind, pretended to inadvertently raise the topic and smiled.
Naturally, this was a waste of time to talk, but after all, we were teammates in the same team, so it was necessary to deepen communication and understanding. Moreover, he was indeed more interested in Chen Long's affairs and the short-haired girl in front of him.
"It seems that I haven't been formally introduced yet. My name is Shizune. I am currently staying in the medical department as a temporary assistant." The girl didn't mean to avoid any taboos, and her reply was generous.
"Moonlight Hayate, an ordinary genin..."
With a humble smile and a pause, Yueguang Qifeng hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "Senior Chen's illness... is it very troublesome?"
The reason why he asked this was because he was curious about the so-called common disease of taijutsu ninjas and the symptoms that others should avoid when taking medicine. As a ninja who specializes in swordsmanship, he can be considered to have both taijutsu and kenshu styles.
There are similarities between them, so if there are similar experiences and lessons, he can learn from them.
However, Shizune's answer was a bit unexpected. She was obviously a little confused about the word "trouble" described by Moonlight Hayate.
"It's not a troublesome disease, it's just muscle strain..."
