In the Hokage's office, Lei Luo met Hiruzen Sarutobi as he wished.
"Lei Luo, where have you been these past two days?" Hiruzen Sarutobi put away the three ninjutsu scrolls that Lei Luo handed over and asked seemingly casually.
'It seems that the ANBU has not grasped my whereabouts.' This thought flashed through Lei Luo's mind, and he said calmly on the surface: "My subordinate has been practicing in the forest of death."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly and complained: "It's a good thing to be motivated, but you also have to control your time?"
"Oh?" Lei Luo put on a posture of listening.
"Three of your team members searched for you at your home, in restaurants near your home, and at the training ground, but they couldn't find you. Now they are about to go on a mission, and you haven't done any work to get along. It's hard for me to let you go.
Don't worry." Sarutobi Hiruzen's meaning was very simple, complaining that Lei Luo had not been seen in the past two days, and seemed to have completely forgotten about the team members.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama." Lei Luo didn't waste any words and admitted his mistake directly and sincerely.
"Oh, forget it..." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "Your three team members are at the entrance of the village now. Go find them. They will tell you the content of the mission."
"What are their names, please?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen reported three names, Lei Luo nodded to remember, and then left the Hokage's office.
Arriving outside the gate of Konoha, Lei Luo was surprised to find that the place was very lively. In addition to the two ninjas guarding the gate, there were about twenty more ninjas and three carriages full of supplies. The scene was bustling, and the ninjas gathered in twos and threes.
Talking in small circles.
Lei Luo walked quickly to the front of the crowd and asked loudly: "Who are Satoshi Fujiwara, Ren Aoki, and Naoko Sakai?"
"Here, Captain!" The crowd stretched out a hand to greet Lei Luo.
Lei Luo glanced at the location and walked straight over.
Arriving in front of the person who raised his hand, Lei Luo looked at the other person and the two people standing next to him.
"Captain, we finally see you!" The person who just greeted Lei Luo was a dark-looking young man, who was smiling. "I am Satoshi Fujiwara, and these two here are Ren Aoki and Naoko Sakai.
.”
Qing Mulian is a rather delicate and elegant young man. When he saw Lei Luo's eyes, he glanced over and nodded: "Hello, captain, please take care of me in the future."
Lei Luo nodded slightly, then looked at the only woman in their team.
"Captain, you are really a busy person." Naoko Sakai looks about average to above average. Although she is also smiling, Lei Luo hears a hint of complaint in her tone. "We have not seen you until today.
His true appearance.”
Lei Luo had no reaction to this. He looked at his three nominal subordinates and asked: "To make a long story short, what is the mission?"
The three of them looked to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, a few years younger than their own bodies. They should all be genin who had just graduated two years ago.
The three boys and girls looked at each other, and finally Satoshi Fujiwara stepped forward and explained to Lei Luo.
Skip some meaningless nonsense, to put it simply, it is an escort mission, transporting a batch of supplies from Konoha to the camp in the Kingdom of Rain.
There are a total of six teams in the entourage, three of which are led by Jonin, the other three teams, including Lei Luo, are all Chunin as captains, and the rest are all Genin, which means that this is a joint mission.
Since the transportation route is within the Land of Fire, the chance of enemy ninja attacks is low, so the mission rating is b. This is considered a relatively safe mission in the war years. That is why so many genin are participating.
After talking about the tasks, it was time for each team member to explain his or her abilities.
If the team members want to maintain a tacit understanding, it is necessary to know each other's ins and outs. This is not only to facilitate the captain to arrange tasks according to the strengths of each team member, but also to provide beautiful coordination during battle. Originally, Lei Luo and his team were here
Several drills should be arranged in two days, but since Fujiwara Satoshi and the others have never seen Lei Luo, they have no choice but to postpone it until now, and they can only rely on words.
Lei Luo listened to each of them boasting about their abilities with great enthusiasm, and he was quite distracted, going in one ear and out the other. In fact, these three genin were neither ninjas from a big family, nor did they have any advanced ninjutsu.
Lei Luo was really not interested in what they were good at.
But he still pretended to listen carefully and nodded from time to time. Lei Luo only felt a wave of sleepiness in his mind. To be reasonable, he ran back to Konoha from the land of tea in the early morning, and he hadn't had much rest yet.
.
"Captain, what are you good at?" Satoshi Fujiwara looked at Lei Luo with an expectant expression. Ren Aokuroki and Naoko Sawai looked calm on the side, but they also quietly pricked up their ears.
"Oh, um." Lei Luo stopped nodding and noticed the expressions of his three subordinates. He coughed twice calmly and gave the answer: "I am good at...taijutsu and ninjutsu."
If this task hadn't delayed his time in absorbing the learning materials given by Yuko, he felt that he would be able to do it soon and be "good" at genjutsu.
By the way, what did these three cheap players say they were good at just now?
Lei Luo rubbed his temples. Under normal circumstances, his work attitude was meticulous, and he would definitely not slack off like he is now. But he was really sleepy, and the strength of the three genin was completely different from his, so he couldn't blame him.
Don't take it to heart at all.
Seeing that Lei Luo was dealing so vaguely and that his expression was not very good, Fujiwara Chi couldn't help but asked with concern: "Captain, are you feeling unwell?"
A sensible young man, Lei Luo secretly thought.
He deliberately staggered two steps and said in a hoarse voice to the three team members: "I stayed up a little late yesterday and am not in a good state now. I may need to take a rest."
After saying that, Lei Luo coughed twice more, "I'm so sorry, you three. I'm going to the carriage to rest. If there's anything urgent, you guys come and call me."
Without waiting for the three genin to respond, Lei Luo hurriedly left the place and naturally sat on the baffle behind a carriage. He leaned on the boxes of supplies behind him, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Fujiwara Satoshi and Aoki Ren looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Sakai Naoko looked a little angry, but there were too many people around, so she didn't dare to lose her temper. She just muttered in a low voice: "What kind of person is this? He's so disrespectful."
Take responsibility."
The three of them were silent for a while.
Finally, Qing Mulian smiled bitterly and said: "I see that the captain's face is indeed not very good. Maybe he is really tired."
Fujiwara Tomoya nodded, "Let the captain rest, I'll go talk to the captains of other teams. It's just an escort mission, and there are three jounin in the team, so there should be no danger."
Although Sakai Naoko was a little angry, she was not a brainless person. If she offended her immediate boss rashly, there would be no good consequences. So she had no choice but to suppress her emotions and said helplessly: "Since you have all decided, then I will go and take a look.
Captain, lest others disturb his rest."
Qingmulian said: "I'll go with you."
At this moment, a leading Jonin stood at the front of the team and said: "Everyone is here, let's go!"
