The next morning, Uchiha Tatsumi greeted Naoki with a tired look on his face.
"Good morning Rope Tree."
"Chen, where did you go last night?" Shengshu asked doubtfully.
"I was pestered by Minato all night, talking to him about ninjutsu." Uchiha Tatsuki cheered up.
"But, I just met Minato. He looked so radiant."
"You know how he has so much energy. Let's go to the mission point." Uchiha Tatsumi took the lead and walked towards the gate with the rope tree.
Last night, Baymax conveyed the message from Orochimaru, mainly asking them to join the genin patrol team.
In Orochimaru's words, this mission is easy and not dangerous, and it is almost specially prepared for genin like them.
Having encountered so many threats, Uchiha Tatsuya was happy to take on such a task. So early in the morning he took Mikoto and Naoki to the mission gathering place.
When we got there, there were already many genin teams. Uchiha Tatsumi's green vest is still very eye-catching.
"Are you Uchiha Tatsu's team?" A gentle voice sounded in Uchiha Tatsu's ears.
He raised his head and found in front of him a jounin who looked to be in his early twenties. He has blue hair and a gentle expression.
"Yesterday afternoon, I received a notice from above saying that a new team was joining." The man continued.
"Yes, that's us." Uchiha Tatsu stood up and pointed to the rope tree and Mikoto behind him.
"Are you—Kato Taka? Uh no... Kato Danjounin?"
Uchiha Tatsu immediately changed his mind. He just unconsciously said the name of his idol.
Kato Suan smiled and didn't care about the subtle typo in Uchiha Tatsumi.
"It's me. I am now the leading jonin in charge of investigation. Welcome to join us."
Next to him stood three of his subordinates, the trio of Shikaku whom he had not seen for a long time.
"You became a chuunin at the age of only ten. You are really awesome, Tatsu."
The familiar Kato Dan smiled and patted Uchiha Tatsumi on the shoulder.
"It's not like my three useless disciples."
"Teacher, chunin are very troublesome."
Shikaku held his head with a look of disgust on his face.
Kato Dan also knew very well about Shikaku's character, so he had no choice but to smile helplessly.
Shikaku turned his head and nodded to Uchiha Tatsu, "Long time no see, Tatsu, Naoki and Mikoto."
Uchiha Tatsumi and the three of them also greeted each other.
Since arriving at the camp, they have been dispatched by Orochimaru, and it is true that they have not seen their former classmates for a long time.
"Your chuunin vest is quite beautiful." Ding Zuo stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Uchiha Tatsumi's light green vest.
Uchiha Tatsu unceremoniously blocked Ding Zao's snack-covered fingers. Seeing that his prank failed, Ding licked the crumbs of the snack on his hand.
"Chen, I heard that you went to the battlefield to perform a mission. How was it?"
Taking advantage of the fact that he was still free in the morning, Haiyi quickly asked.
After all, no matter how mature he is, he is still a ten-year-old child, so it is inevitable that he will be interested in these gossips.
"...It's okay. I just encountered the Explosion Hunter of Iwa Ninja."
Uchiha Tatsuya briefly talked about their mission.
The war didn't change Shikaku and the others much, they were still as lazy as before. After all, these people have always been in the Konoha camp, and even the occasional battles are at the same level.
Kato Dan stood aside and flipped through the task list in his hand. He had already read the information about Uchiha Tatsu and the others yesterday.
Although the other party is only ten years old, his strength cannot be judged by common sense.
Kato clapped his hands and interrupted the chat of the other kids, "Chen, the patrol range of each team has been assigned. Just look at this. Let's go on patrol with Shikaku and the others first to get familiar with the situation. Look. How about it?"
"Okay, you just have to make arrangements." Uchiha Tatsu nodded.
Now that they have been assigned, Uchiha Tatsu and the others got up and rushed to the mission point.
Calling it a mission point, it's just stationed in a dense forest. Each team is stationed in a different location, forming a circle that surrounds the camp.
"Is this the so-called reconnaissance?" Among the rain-wet leaves of a certain giant tree, the head of the rope tree poked out, looking extremely unhappy.
He thought that the investigation would be like Yuluo and the others, but he didn't know that everyone would find a tree to hide. No wonder it's safe here.
Since the last incident, the rope tree has also begun to mature. It's just that this kind of peace is not what he wants.
He stood up and wanted to see where Uchiha Tatsu and the others were.
However, there was only the sound of rain in the entire dense forest, and the remaining five people, not even the rope tree, knew their specific location.
The rope tree could only hide itself again in frustration.
In a tree hole about ten meters northeast of the rope tree, Uchiha Tatsu was lying leisurely.
The rain was passing through the narrow hole. In the landscape blurred by thick cumulus clouds, only the sound of rain hitting leaves was particularly clear.
Uchiha Tatsu already had a premonition that a battle was coming. It's just the calm before the storm.
This uneasiness, like flying fragments, kept passing before his eyes, making him breathless and making him even more irritable.
However, all disturbances within a radius of ten meters are still under Dabai's control.
Just when Uchiha Tatsu was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly woken up by Baymax.
Immediately he raised his eyes and saw ninjas coming towards here outside the dense forest.
And looking at their clothes, they are clearly ninjas from the Iwa Ninja Village!
A big war is finally about to begin. (To be continued)
