Chapter 206: Scouting Squad!
“Lord Shikaku, there is a small group of Ninjas outside asking for an audience. They also brought the Hokage-sama’s order.”
Shikaku, who was thinking about how to completely end this war, was stunned at first, then he took the transfer order to identify the authenticity, and then carefully checked it.
“Let them in.”
“Yes!”
When Mikawa’s class walked in, Shikaku Nara was obviously surprised, “Hirohiko Mikawa?”.
“Jonin Hirohiko Mikawa greets Lord Shikaku. All members of Mikawa’s class are here. Please give the task to Lord Shikaku.”.
Shikaku Nara was obviously an old acquaintance of Mikawa. “There’s no hurry for the task. Tell me, what is going on? I remember that you went back to the village to be a sensei?”.
After saying that, Shikaku looked at the youths behind him, especially Shinomiya Aoba. He remembered that he had just returned to the village, so he was captured by Hiruzen and was responsible for designing the early graduation exam.
That was also the first time he saw Shinomiya Aoba and Uchiha Itachi, the pair of twin stars of Konoha.
Although these two youths left a deep impression on him, the former still made him remember more deeply. He clearly relied on his own strength to smoothly pass the exam, but he chose the easiest and most shameless method to force him and Hiruzen, who had been secretly observing, to come out and stop the farce in advance.
However, Shikaku felt that this Shinomiya Aoba was very kind to him. Why did the problem that could be easily solved become more troublesome?
Moreover, the other party was a super troublesome woman
After hearing Shikaku’s question, Mikawa did not hide anything. He directly told them everything that had happened, and very seriously expressed that he did not need to give them any preferential treatment.
War was not a child’s play, and they were not here to sightsee.
Since they had made the corresponding choice, they had to bear the corresponding consequences. Mikawa’s class still had this realization!
Otherwise, wouldn’t he be the one who had come to earn military merits?
That was why Mikawa was so serious that he indicated that Mikawa’s class would listen to all commands!
Shikaku Nara felt extremely gratified. His initial dissatisfaction immediately dissipated. What he hated the most was those who refused to listen to orders just because they had some strength.
Fortunately, he was very familiar with Hirohiko Mikawa.
Although his strength was not particularly outstanding, he knew how to cooperate with the team. He was experienced and cautious. He was the kind of person who could be very inconspicuous in the team but silently took all the dirty work and labor into his own hands!
Any team that had this kind of stabilizing needle would be able to unleash 100% of their usual strength!
Therefore, as long as the little ghosts behind Mikawa did not act recklessly, he would have no objection to the transfer order of Mikawa’s class. Instead, he would feel happy.
After all, the war had reached this point. What was compared was the foundation and will. The strength of each Jonin was very important, not to mention a team with rich experience in war!
“Mikawa, since you have already made your stance clear, then I won’t be polite. I plan to give you a unit and you will be the commander. With your ability, you will definitely be able to gain an advantage in a frontal battle!”
Mikawa was neither sad nor happy about this arrangement, because this was also the combat style he was good at. It could fully display his ability and experience.
However, Mikawa hesitated for a moment and still asked, “Then will Mikawa’s class still be preserved?”
Shikaku knew what Mikawa was worried about, but he still shook his head. “I have other arrangements for them. I can tell you directly that the task assigned to you is very dangerous. You only have the right to refuse once. If you are afraid, I can arrange you to be in the patrol team, which is relatively safer.”
Shikaku’s last few words were directed at Aoba and the others. Mikawa hesitated for a moment but still did not make a decision for them.
Since they were already on the battlefield, how could there be a mission for safety?
Even Mikawa himself could not guarantee that he could return to Konoha alive, so it was better to let them decide their own fate.
Aoba, Itachi, and Gekkou Hayate looked at each other. They all saw through each other’s thoughts, so he directly said, “We will accept all the arrangements!”
“Very good. It is rare to have such courage. I believe that Konoha’s future will be yours sooner or later. Go and rest first. Someone will tell you the specific contents of the mission tomorrow.”
After Mikawa left, Shikaku sighed again.
In order to use every bit of his strength at a crucial point, he had no choice but to make this choice.
Otherwise, he could not break up Mikawa’s class and arrange some relatively less dangerous tasks for them. However, doing that would be a waste of their talents, and it was not something a wise commander should do.
He hoped that after the war ended, they would all be able to survive.
…..
Early the next morning, Aoba and the other two, who had been assigned to the scouting team, received a mission.
Their mission was to investigate the outer defense distribution of Kumogakure’s stronghold.
Of course, they were only responsible for one of them.
But even so, the danger of this mission was extremely high!
Think about it. They were like little mice that went to other people to be stepped on. If they were not discovered, they would be fine. But if they were caught, the best outcome would be to be directly killed. Otherwise, what awaited them might be a fate worse than death
Therefore, Aoba and the other two had grave expressions on their faces.
To be honest, they had not expected to be sent on such a dangerous mission right from the start.
Moreover, Mikawa-sensei was not by their side this time. They had to make all the decisions themselves. Even if they were in danger, no one would come to save them. At most, someone would risk their lives to bring back the information they had obtained.
This was also why the sacrifice rate of the scouting team was so high.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to save him, but they didn’t have the ability to do so.
Moreover, the mission had priority!
After Aoba and the other two got their supplies and a hand-drawn map, they immediately rushed on their way.
Along with them were thirty people who were temporarily transferred out.
Everyone’s faces were very heavy and uneasy.
Then, as they continued to move forward, everyone gradually separated according to their respective mission areas.
…
At the same time, a certain guy who received a secret command secretly followed behind Aoba and the other two people, maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close, ensuring that he would not be left behind or lost.
It was obvious that the game of cat and mouse was about to begin!
But before the results appeared, it was still unknown who was the cat and who was the mouse.
