The silence was only short-lived. The small-scale friction between Konoha and the Kumo ninja at the border of the Land of Fire gradually turned into a large-scale offensive and defensive battle.
Xi Li's practice time is getting less and less.
Although he teamed up with Uchiha Itachi and was rarely sent to the front line, various patrols and guard duties in the camp also followed one after another.
After all, he is just a genin and cannot do too high-level tasks.
Not only Seeli and Itachi, but also Uchiha Shisui disguised as a genin often patrolled and stood guard.
It was a rare time to have a meal and rest. Xili had just carried a rice bowl and a large pot of meat and vegetables to the shade of the tree, preparing to have a comfortable meal.
The happiest time of the day is meal time.
Sudden!
Three figures suddenly appeared and stood in front of Xi Li, blocking the light and casting a shadow over them.
This feeling is very unpleasant!
In particular, Seely hated talking to people with his head raised.
"Alista Seely, we have a mission."
The leader was a tall, thin man. He wore a mask with a ghost face and ordinary black hair. It was hard to tell who he was.
Standing next to him were two teenagers, judging from their height, they should be around 12-15 years old.
They all wear the dark faces of root tissue.
"This is the transfer order and mission scroll. Please fill in your codename by the way."
The ANBU team leader handed Xi Li the transfer order, mission scroll and a pack of ANBU equipment.
This is the base camp of Konoha, and Xili believes that the other party will not dare to mess around.
Even if you mess around, you can't kill him instantly.
So there is no need to worry at all.
Xili stretched out his hands calmly, taking the order and mission scroll with one hand, and the package of ANBU equipment with the other.
The transfer order is real and has the exclusive mark of Hokage.
Seelie can still tell this.
The mission scroll is also real. The specific content is about the Nishimura team that rescued the Country of Grass, which is the team that Meiko is part of that purchases medical supplies.
The current approximate location of the team is at the junction of the Kingdom of Grass and the Kingdom of Fire.
"Nishimura's team from the Land of Grass? Is this the team that Sister Meiko is in!"
"So, Meako-san is trapped?"
A strange color flashed in Xili's eyes. If it was a rescue mission, he would definitely not refuse it, especially if the person waiting for rescue was someone he knew.
There were just a few questions he didn't understand.
Why was the mask given to him a Ghostface mask? This is a mask worn only by the ANBU of the Root Organization.
Besides, he's just a genin!
Even being an ANBU candidate is not qualified, right?
Even if he made an exception and became an ANBU candidate, the Third Generation should have placed him in the ANBU directly under the Hokage. How could he be transferred to Danzo's root.
besides
Seeli glanced at the black-haired boy behind the ANBU team leader. He was wearing a ghost mask, and he couldn't see clearly what he looked like.
But those eyes are clearly white eyes!
That is, people from the Hyuga clan!
Are there people from the Hyuga clan in the Root Organization? Xi Li has no impression of it, but it doesn't rule out that he doesn't know or remembers it wrong.
I always feel a strong sense of conspiracy.
But will Seely be cowardly?
Xili might be timid, but the Bull Demon King would never be.
"Have you thought about it? Your code name."
The ANBU squad leader asked in a solemn voice.
"Bull Demon King!" Xili grinned, and then put the ghost face mask on his face, hiding the faint evil smile.
You want to play, right?
I will stay with you until the end!
"Now that you understand, let's follow."
The ANBU team leader turned around, tilted his head, and said in an indifferent voice with a hint of disdain, "Don't hold us back, you little brat."
As soon as the words fell, the ANBU team leader wanted to lead the two team members away.
Sudden!
A strong wind suddenly came from behind!
The ANBU team leader tilted his head, and two sharp weapons shot through the air beside his ears. Mixed with the howling wind, they struck twice on the tree trunk not far away.
When everyone took a closer look, the expressions on their faces suddenly changed.
It wasn't the shuriken that was shot at the ANBU squad leader?!
But a pair of chopsticks?!
"Before we become teammates, there are two things you need to understand."
A cold voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
The ANBU team leader's pupils shrank, this kid was so fast, he didn't even notice when the other party appeared!
After a moment, he calmed down.
How fast can a genin go?
Maybe it was just that his attention was on the pair of chopsticks just now, and he didn't notice it because he was separated!
"What do you want to say?"
The ANBU team leader looked sideways at Xili and asked coldly.
Seeli lowered his head and pointed only a pair of horns at the ANBU squad leader. Then, he raised his right hand and raised a finger.
"First, don't disturb me while I'm eating."
Hearing this, the ANBU team leader was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards.
Under the grimace mask, there was an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.
A sneer, undisguised contempt.
"Oh? What can I do if I bother you?"
boom!
A punch is thrown out with only 30% strength.
But it broke out in an instant.
The punch hit the Anbu squad leader's abdomen, and he bowed like a shrimp, and the expression under the ghost mask became ferocious due to pain.
The loss of sound from the throat turned into retching.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a huge force was transmitted into the body of the ANBU team leader.
His body rose into the air, and then shot out like a cannonball, directly breaking a big tree ten steps away.
It slid down slowly like a dead dog.
After completing the water hitting training, Xili's control of strength has improved further.
He knows how to make people uncomfortable without hurting them.
"Ouch"
The ANBU team leader knelt on the ground, his mask came off to reveal a blue-purple cheek, and then he opened his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of yellow water.
Seeli stood five steps away with an expressionless face.
This distance is also upwind, so you can't smell the stench.
He raised his second finger with a cold look and said in an indifferent tone, "Second, I don't like talking to people with my head raised!"
Especially, I don’t have much goodwill!
"Ahem"
The ANBU squad leader wiped the corners of his mouth, held his stomach and stood up slowly.
He had never been on guard because he felt that no matter how arrogant the bull-headed brat was, he would not dare to take action. Even if he did, he would be able to react immediately.
But the fact is
He underestimated the other party!
“Very good, next”
The ANBU team leader took a deep breath. There was still a dull pain in his abdomen, but the initial sharp pain had passed.
Now he must make that Minotaur look good!
Whoosh!
The ANBU team leader suddenly disappeared from where he was.
"Instant Technique?"
Xi Li's eyes narrowed, and God's perspective instantly opened.
A black shadow suddenly struck him, raised his fist and hit him in the face! The force of the fist shook the air, making a buzzing sound.
"Well done!"
Facing the ANBU squad leader's attack, Xili not only did not dodge, but instead clasped his fists with his fingers, then raised his fists and struck out.
