Chapter 38: The Beginning of the Ninja War

In the following days, Che worked hard to practice the Eight Gates while doing missions with the Eighth Team.

Time often passes quickly when you are busy.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 47th year of Konoha.

Che's strength has improved a lot. The Eight Gates can already open the fourth gate of the wound gate, and his progress has even surpassed Might Guy.

During this period, Shikaku was obviously busier than before, and he didn't even have much time to accompany Che and the other two to do missions.

After all, Shikaku is a jonin, and it is impossible for him to accompany three genins to do these simple tasks every day.

Fortunately, the strength of these three people is not simple, so these ordinary genin tasks can be easily completed by the three of them.

Che's strength is naturally needless to say, and he has reached the level of jonin in all aspects.

It is precisely because of this that Shikaku can let the three people perform their own tasks without worry.

Asuma's strength is also very good. At the age of 11 this year, he has reached the level of a chunin, and his strength is considered strong even among chunins.

The training of wind escape, fire escape and ninjutsu has already shown initial results, and I am afraid that he will not be inferior to the weaker special jonin.

Such talent can be regarded as the first echelon in the village, but it is not so dazzling compared with Che in the same class.

The other one among the three, Yuhi Kurenai, is the weakest among the three.

However, Yuhi Kurenai's situation is quite special. Her own ninjutsu talent is not high, but her illusion talent is not bad, so she chose to become an illusion ninja.

But for most ninjas, the use of ninjutsu exceeds illusion, which is not without reason.

Because if the illusion does not reach a high level, the effect is not significant.

Many people can see through the illusion and break the illusion effect through various means.

Therefore, the middle and lower ninja period is the transition period of illusion ninja. During this period, the strength of illusion ninja is often not as good as that of ninjutsu ninja, and may even be not as good as that of physical ninja.

Fortunately, once this period is passed and the jonin is reached, the illusion-type ninja will be a dimensionality reduction attack on the weaker ninjas, and they can also achieve a surprise victory against ninjas of the same level.

Hong's illusion level has actually reached the level of Chunin, but if she only uses illusion to deal with other types of Chunin of the same level, she has almost no chance of winning.

Fortunately, Hong has mastered good physical skills and a single move of the unmarked ninjutsu Rasengan under Che's guidance for many years.

In terms of comprehensive strength, she can already compete with ordinary Chunin, and may even be slightly better.

Therefore, the strength of all members of Team 8 has reached the level of Chunin or above.

It is natural to do Genin tasks like a fish in water and easily.

As for why the three did not take the Chunin exam to be promoted to Chunin, you have to ask Shikaku.

Che originally planned to take the Chunin exam as soon as he graduated, but the Chunin exam requires three people to take it together.

So Che waited until Hong, the weakest of the three, also reached the level of Chunin and asked Shikaku to take the Chunin exam.

But Shikaku refused.

At that time, Shikaku frowned and said seriously: "The current situation is not peaceful, it is better for you to be promoted later."

"As the ninja level increases, the danger of the mission will also increase. You are too young now, and I can't let you take risks."

"Wait another year."

Che can understand Shikaku's thoughts, but he still has a personal experience of the so-called turbulent situation mentioned by Shikaku.

After all, as a Genin, he has been staying in Konoha and the Land of Fire for many years, so he naturally cannot feel the series of changes that have quietly occurred in the entire ninja world.

But sometimes things are often unpredictable. Just when people are immersed in the long-standing peaceful atmosphere in Konoha, traces of war suddenly appear.

That day, because there was no mission, Hong pulled Che to go shopping together.

Che agreed.

So the two began to stroll around the commercial street of Konoha.

It must be said that Konoha's business is very developed, and all kinds of shops on the roadside are emerging in an endless stream, and all kinds of goods are also dazzling.

The energy that the girl bursts out when shopping is unlimited. Hong drags Che into each store to shop, and even if she doesn't buy anything, she enjoys it as a visit.

But I don't know whether Hong enjoys shopping or the boy who is shopping with her.

Along the way, women who have experienced it from time to time tease the boy and girl on the street.

"A handsome man and a beautiful girl, they are really a perfect match."

The girl blushed all of a sudden and tried to explain quickly, but those people would often run away with a smirk, leaving Hong in frustration.

In the end, she hit Che's chest with her pink fist to vent her anger.

Che said it didn't hurt.

Seeing that Che didn't cooperate at all, Hong pouted and turned her head to the side.

Seeing this, Che smiled bitterly, and then saw the flower shop next to him and said, "I'll buy you a bouquet of flowers."

Hearing this, Hong couldn't pretend anymore, and immediately changed her face like Sichuan Opera, showing a surprised expression.

But after seeing Che's half-smile, Hong forced herself to hold back her expression and uttered only two words, "Okay."

Che had a smile on his face and walked into the flower shop on the roadside with Hong.

Che and Hong looked around the flower shop. The area of ​​the flower shop was not too large, but it had everything it should have and it was very neat.

Flowers of various colors were placed inside and outside the store, some were gorgeous and some were elegant, making the whole flower shop exude a charming fragrance.

"Two handsome men and beautiful women, welcome to the mountain flower shop, what kind of flowers do you need?"

A young brown-haired proprietress asked with a smile. She stood behind the counter, dignified and elegant.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

Che responded: "Please help me wrap a bouquet of flowers. I gave them to her."

Che pointed at Hong who was looking at the flowers.

So the landlady asked: "Does this guest have any preferences?"

Hong came back to his senses and replied: "I don't have any preferences, as long as it looks good."

The proprietress came out from behind the counter and said: "Then I recommend some flowers, you can choose them."

The landlady came to the arranged flowers and introduced Hong.

"Rose, needless to say, this is a standard gift for lovers. Our store has red roses, pink roses, yellow roses, purple roses, white roses and many other varieties."

Hong couldn't help but feel shy again when she heard the word lover.

Seeing this, the proprietress smiled and then introduced: "There are also lilies, which symbolize purity and purity, and also represent Pepsi and harmony. They are suitable for sending to friends and relatives."

Hong nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, a man with yellow hair and long ponytail wearing a Jonin vest walked out from the backyard of the flower shop. He looked at Che and Hong and said, "These two young guests look familiar. Are they the two disciples of Shikaku?" ?”

Che and Hong instantly understood that they had met an elder, so they bowed slightly together.

The man said: "Don't be formal, we are all family members. The reason why I recognized you is because I saw you and Shikaku sitting together when Dingzu took you to eat barbecue last time."

"At that time, I saw that you were having a good chat, so I didn't go up to disturb you. I just said hello to Shikaku."

"By the way, my name is Yamanaka Haiichi, and this is my wife Yamanaka Sahi."

"Shikaku and I have been teammates for many years."

Only then did Yamanaka Haiichi remember to introduce himself, and by the way, he introduced the proprietress of the flower shop, who was his wife.

When Che and Hong heard that Haiyi was a friend of Teacher Shikaku, they immediately began to get close to each other.

Haiyi smiled and said: "Okay, I'm ready to go out. Just leave the flower buying to Zaohui. She has a good taste."

Haiyi was about to leave, when suddenly there were several sounds of crying and tears coming from outside the door, coming from far and near, towards the area.

Several people in the store were suddenly stunned.

After a while, I saw a group of people wearing pure black funeral kimonos walking through the door of the store. Many of the people in the group were already crying.

Yamanaka Haiichi looked at the corpse being held inside and murmured: "Is it him? He was transferred to Kumogakure's defense line just a few days ago. Has he already died?"

"It seems that even if there is a yellow flash over there, casualties cannot be avoided."

Hai Yi's words made Che suddenly realize that the war was approaching.

At this time, the ninja world was in a tense situation, and local conflicts had broken out in some areas. Some people said that this was the prelude to the ninja war.

In the northeastern part of the Land of Fire, the ninjas from Cloud Hidden Village in the Land of Thunder often break into the territory without authorization, and the border defense pressure in Northeast Konoha is very high.

Fortunately, Namikaze Minato has already made a name for himself with the yellow flash. I heard that he single-handedly repelled the invasion of the Raikage's son and the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki a few days ago, and he is in the limelight for a while.

But even so, it cannot change a cruel fact, that is, for ordinary ninjas, border conflicts are not an opportunity to become famous, but a danger that can kill people.

"Sister Zaohui, help us wrap two bouquets of white chrysanthemums."

Yuhi Hong whispered.
