When Zhiwei was found, he was having a party with Shengshu and others.
Back then, in order to earn ninja points, Chen would beat up children from grade to grade. Shengshu would follow behind and watch the fun, with an attitude of not taking it too seriously, taunting and inciting hatred everywhere.
So even though everyone is not a ninja of the same generation, they are all familiar with each other.
Moreover, the jounin circle is only that big. There are not many ninjas graduating every year, but too many die on the battlefield or during missions.
Especially after the two great ninja wars, those who had little luck or strength would have long been in disgrace.
Therefore, even if we didn't have much interaction before, and the number of people is getting smaller and smaller, they are all familiar with each other.
A large part of these people are family ninjas, and there are very few civilians who can become jounin at the age of twenty.
People like Minato and Orochimaru were so talented that they were hard to find in the entire ninja world.
Jiraiya was at the bottom of his game when he was a child, but he had a good teacher and the help of the toads from Mt. Myoboku. These were the two main reasons for his rise.
In short, the rise of these three people is unreplicable and cannot be imitated by just one person.
At this time, everyone was discussing what to eat for lunch.
At present, the station has just been built, and the combat plan has just been drawn up, but it has not been officially issued, so everyone has a lot of free time.
In a few days, it won’t be so leisurely.
Although we are on the front line, everyone still has a smile on their face and a hint of relaxation in their words.
Can't it be easy? The Kingdom of Water was the first region to end the war. With the power of victory, it faced the weaker Kingdom of Rain. No one would think that this would be a difficult battle.
Moreover, everyone became a special jounin or jounin at a young age. They were still a group of younger brothers during the second ninja world. However, after experiencing the baptism of two wars, those who can survive have their own advantages.
Now is the time for them to replace the older generation and start to stand alone.
Just when Chen felt very relieved, Inuzuka Jaw, who had confessed to Kushina but was rejected, glanced around and took out a dozen watermelons from the seal scroll.
“…”
For a moment, Chen felt a little enlightened, as if he had returned to the green days of the ninja school.
It's really rare to see something like this in the hot summer, but on the front line... I always feel an indescribable sense of disobedience.
Are these guys taking it too easy
Inuzuka Jaw smiled slightly and said: "If you want to eat watermelon, just exchange it for meritorious service."
On the battlefield, commissions are not distributed like in the village. Instead, after completing the mission, you will accumulate merit, which can be exchanged for some advanced ninjutsu scrolls and ninjutsu. If you don't want any of these, you can also exchange your merits for silver coins.
Therefore, merit points are the hard currency.
Chen thought Inuzuka Jaw was joking, but looking at his familiarity with the road and his movements like an experienced driver, he knew that he often did this kind of thing.
Chen was a little surprised that Inuzuka Jaw actually had such an economic mind.
Even Shengshu, who was always stingy, glanced at Watermelon and moved closer.
Inuzuka Jaw grinned and said: "Come one, five hundred meritorious deeds are worth in exchange for one!"
Naoki rolled his eyes. Five hundred meritorious deeds can be exchanged for a C-level ninjutsu. This is too dark.
"Is the rind of your melon made of gold, or are the grains of the melon made of gold?"
Inuzuka Jaw shrugged. "There are only a few left, so the price must be increased."
Naoki looked pained. Half of his merit points were handed over to Tsunade, and part of them was given to Nonou. He could only control a small part.
Regardless of who Shengshu will be with in the future, before that, he has already gone further and further on the road of respecting women...well, respecting women.
Shengshu patted the watermelon and asked, "Does your melon stay ripe?"
"I run a watermelon stall, can I sell you raw melon eggs?"
Chen's eyelids twitched slightly.
He always felt that Naoki's movement of picking out his pocket was like touching a kunai, and it seemed that something unspeakable would happen in the next second.
Fortunately, Shengshu just played on the watermelon, and then picked a large watermelon, weighing seven or eight pounds.
"Here, cut it." Shengshu handed the watermelon over.
Chen nodded, then formed a seal with his hands, condensing a tiny wind blade.
The wind blade struck several times, causing the watermelon to crack and break into more than ten pieces.
This move won the admiration of many ninjas.
For ninjas whose chakra manipulation is not delicate enough, it is difficult for them to control a powerful wind release at a distance of only finger length.
When the watermelon was broken open, Rooshu handed a piece to Chen, took one piece for himself, and distributed the rest to everyone.
Chen broke open the watermelon and asked while eating it: "This melon is not cheap."
Shengshu smiled and said: "There is nothing we can do about it, it would be nice if we could eat it."
"How could he sell such a thing?" Chen glanced at Inuzuka Jaw.
"Family business." Shen Shu thought for a moment and said.
“…”
This is probably another sad story about if you don't become a ninja, you have to go back and inherit the family business.
In fact, most ninjas have their own side jobs. For example, the Nara clan raised many deer and provided medicinal materials to Konoha Hospital.
Therefore, having a side job is really not a big deal in the ninja circle.
Now, Dai, who has opened a large number of weapons shops with Tatsu's financial support, his biggest wish is that Kai can become a chuunin, and then he can have a son and inherit the weapons shop business.
Think about it, the entire southern country's smoke and soil is sold by... sorry, the entire Konoha detonating charms and kunai are sold by the "tight suit clan", put aside the money in advance, tell this matter, don't you have special face?
The Uchiha clan looked down upon this kind of business. After all, the Uchiha clan really has a mine.
Chen learned a little more about it and found that there were quite a lot of minerals in the clan. These were the ones that were paid to the village when the village was built.
If he inherits the position of clan leader, these minerals will be... ahem, he will keep them for the clan members.
After attending the dinner party, Chen did not follow the others to the dinner party, but left Zhiwei behind.
Chen's every move is watched by countless people, not only because he is a frontline commander, but also because he is shrouded in a huge halo.
However, these are basically jounin, and there is no possibility of spies. There is nothing worth hiding.
Everyone also guessed that it was related to the mission.
After the two greeted each other, Chen didn't waste any time and got to the point.
"The Rain Ninjas are now scattered throughout the Land of Fire. Our main task now is to drive them out."
Zhiwei, who was usually very calm, actually pushed up the sunglasses on his face with excitement. That expression was like Linglingqi saying: After ten years of waiting, I thought the country had forgotten me.
But some of the emotions on Zhiwei's face were fleeting, and he then said doubtfully:
"For reconnaissance, there should be no problem with Hyuuga leading the Hyuga ninjas, with or without me..."
"The Hyuga clan's Byakugan has a maximum range of only one kilometer, and its tracking ability is poor."
"Tracking..." Zhiwei captured this key word keenly. "Should I be allowed to sneak into Yuyin to check Hanzo's movements?"
Zhiwei pushed up his sunglasses again, trying to hide himself in his windbreaker. It seemed that Chen wouldn't notice him this way.
Fortunately, Chen shook his head in response to Zhiwei's words.
"There is no need to enter the Kingdom of Rain, it is too dangerous."
Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just track his location within the Land of Fire."
“…”
Chen patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I believe you can complete this task. After all, with greater ability comes greater responsibility."
