Chapter 20 In troubled times, life is as cheap as grass

 The forty-seventh year of Konoha, the end of the year.

On a snowy day, Hyuga Yuto packed his bags and left the Hyuga tribe.

  These days, there has been heavy snowfall in the Land of Fire. The Leaf Village has been covered with a thick layer of snow, which crunches under your feet.

  New Year is approaching, and there is an atmosphere of joy in Konoha Village. At this time, even the poorest families will prepare a sumptuous dinner to reward themselves for their hard work during the year, and welcome the new year with their families.

 But Hinata Yuuto was not interested in this.

—His parents were dead, and he was cooking in an empty house with no one to talk to. Even Hinata Yuuto felt panicked.

Stepping through the snow and carrying his luggage, Hinata Yuuto walked out of the gate of Konoha Village as before.

However, what he didn't expect was that the blond woman was already waiting for him outside the village.

“Yo, my lovely apprentice.” Tsunade patted Hinata Yuuto’s shoulder energetically:

“If I leave the village to perform tasks now, I won’t be able to come back in time for the New Year.”

 “Someone has to carry the load forward.” Hinata Yuuto said seriously:

“Teacher, what are your orders? But what should I do for my apprentice? Yuuto is facing mountains of swords and seas of fire without even frowning.”

 The blond beauty was obviously stunned for a moment and bent down slightly.

Hinata Yuuto's body has not grown yet, only reaching her chin. Tsunade only needs to support her knees with her hands, and their eyes are level.

The last princess of the Senju family stretched out her jade hand and flicked Hinata Yuuto's forehead protector:

“I’m just seeing you off, you’re a stupid disciple of mine.”

"…Um."

“Hey! Have a nice trip—!” At this moment, a shout suddenly came from somewhere in Konoha Village, it was Shizune.

 The little girl hid behind a telephone pole, revealing two big, lively eyes.

A few days ago, Shizune and Hinata Yuuto had some conflicts. As for the reason, Yuuto had forgotten a little. It was probably something like "Why does the fish in your bowl look better than mine?" Hinata Yuuto Of course Tou didn't care about this, but Shizune, who was still young, held a grudge and vowed "I will never be with you again in this life."

 However, the little girl came to see her off today, together with Tsunade.

"Thank you, teacher..." Hinata Yuuto turned around and raised the collar of his thick cotton coat:

"I will be careful."

 “Go, Yuuto, you are already an excellent Konoha ninja!”

Hinata Yuuto waved to Tsunade and Shizune in the distance, put his bag on his back and left. When he lost sight of Konoha Village, he suddenly accelerated and ran at the normal speed of a ninja when performing a mission.

 The sudden appearance of Tsunade and Shizune made Hinata Yu feel a little upset.

He suspended his crazy practice life and went out to perform tasks in the village. Firstly, he wanted to integrate the results of these three months of practice and stabilize his soaring combat power. Secondly, and most importantly, he took time to do his own personal things!

—According to the timeline of the previous comics, next year, the 48th year of Konoha, will be the time when the Ninja War breaks out completely. The major Ninja villages and clans take turns to end, with countless casualties.

For civilians and most ninjas, the next few years will not be easy, but for the conspirators hiding in the dark, the Third Ninja World War is the best time to make plans!

 Hando Hanzo and Danzo Shimura conspired to kill Yahiko, and Madara Uchiha, who was exhausted, successfully planted the seeds of madness in Obito's heart... The next few years will be almost a carnival for conspirators.

Of course Hyuga Yuuto will not miss this opportunity. War will be the best cover for his actions. Events that break the sky in peacetime will not even make a splash during wartime. "Everything is difficult at the beginning, so we can't back down..." Hinata Yuuto sighed in his heart, pursed his lips, and took out the mission scroll while running.

 The mission he took on this time was A-level.

Hyuga Yuuto is now Senju Tsunade's disciple and a bloodline of a prominent clan in the village. He already has some status, and with his sufficient combat power, he wants to be promoted to Jonin as soon as possible, so that it will be easier for him to act after the Third Ninja War begins. .

Jounin is an elite force in every village. They can lead teams and recruit disciples. Their years of service are also extremely privileged, and the best ones can even stand alone.

 There are many requirements for promotion to Jonin, among which the most important one is "to meet both the quantity and quality standards of tasks".

Performing multiple A-level missions is a prerequisite for promotion to Jonin.

Hyuto Yuto’s chosen mission this time was “assassination”.

 He is the only one who performs the task. As long as he is neat enough, he will have enough time to do his own thing.

 Therefore, after leaving the village, his speed has been very fast.

The results of three months of training were immediately apparent. Because of the medical ninjutsu and strange power, Hyuga Yuuto now has very strong control over chakra. With less chakra, he can burst out faster. Medical ninjutsu It can even relieve muscle soreness. After a long journey, as long as he eats and sleeps as necessary, he hardly feels tired.

 Two days later, he successfully crossed the border of the Country of Fire and arrived at the Country of Tang.

This is a small country in the northeast of the Country of Fire. It has a long and narrow land. Like the Country of Frost, it is located in the middle area between the two powerful countries of Fire and Thunder. It is a buffer zone for the big countries. Historically, when war breaks out between Konoha and Kumogakure, these two Small countries are the first to suffer.

Of course, they are better than the Rain Ninja Village. The poor land of the Kingdom of Rain is the junction of the three great kingdoms of Fire, Earth, and Wind, and they are all directly bordering each other. There has been no peace for a day since the founding of the Kingdom.

Hyuga Yuuto had been here several times before on missions and was familiar with the country of Yu. He bought a gauze hat on the street, put it on his head, covering his entire face, and then walked along the official road. Walk like a lax traveler.

In a dirty job like assassination, the most taboo thing is impatience. The most difficult part is often "finding the target." However, for the owner of the Byakugan, finding someone is never a difficult task. Hinata Yuuto only needs to enter the city and open the With a Byakugan, half of the assassination mission can be completed, and the remaining half is to stab the kunai into the heart of the target.

The winter of Konoha 47 was extremely cold. It snowed not only in the Land of Fire, but also in the Land of Yu for several days, even reaching the level of a snow disaster.

Although they also suffered disasters, the civilians in Yuno Country were much worse off than those in the Fire Country. After all, the Fire Country was one of the five major countries. Although it was no longer as majestic as when the village was first built, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse. , the economic strength has always been very strong. In the country of fire, civilians can at least have a thick cotton coat to wear.

 But the country of Tang is different. This country... is too poor.

 After walking less than ten kilometers, Hyuga Yuuto saw more than forty small "refugee camps". People in ragged clothes were exposed to the heavy snow and gathered around fires to keep warm, for fear of freezing to death.

 Children with sallow complexions hugged each other and sang. Despite the low temperature, they were wearing thin straw sandals.

The woman with a good-looking face smiled ingratiatingly at every pedestrian passing by, and the price of their spring breeze was only sixty taels - in Konoha, this was just enough to buy a bowl of ramen.

The haggard old people were squeezed to the outside of the fire. They knelt and prayed for mercy from the omnipotent Immortal of Six Paths.

 This is the 47th year of Konoha, less than half a year before the Third Ninja War broke out.

The current situation is turbulent, and the major powers are constantly at odds. Once there is a natural or man-made disaster, the lives of ordinary people will fall into **** in an instant.

 In troubled times, life is worthless than grass.
