Kaoru smiled and shook his head, not speaking.
"Mm." Kurenai Yuhi nodded, "Actually, the reason I taught you how to walk on the water yesterday was because of today's mission!"
"Ah? Kurenai-sensei, there's another mission..." Hina complained, "What is this mission, catching kittens again, or catching puppies?"
At this time, they completely lost the excitement they had before.
"It's not that simple." Kurenai Yuhi waved her hand and said, "This mission is different from the last one. It's a C-rank mission, so it won't be to find some small animals or something."
"Haha, in that case, this mission is more difficult?" Shin heard and stood up with a whoosh, "So, are we going to fight powerful ninjas?"
"Well..." Kurenai Yuhi touched her chin, then said with a smile, "Probably not!"
"What's that." The momentum that Shin had just gained instantly withered.
Kaoru rolled his eyes at him. Please, this guy can't even handle a cat, and he's thinking about fighting people.
This mission is to go to a small village called Asakusa Village to pick herbs.
It was originally a D-rank mission, but because this village is too far from Konoha Village, it was upgraded to C-rank.
And the reason I had you practice water walking was because we will inevitably have to cross the river during this period, so prepare in advance. Kurenai Yuhi said.
"In that case, isn't it still a D-rank mission?" Hina also said dejectedly.
"Alright, everyone, cheer up. Now let's set off." Kurenai Yuhi clapped her hands and said, "We better go and come back quickly on this trip. If we go late and waste time, we'll have to spend the night in the wild."
Hearing this sentence, the members of Team 8 all cheered up. After all, spending the night in the wild didn't sound like a good choice.
So, they didn't stay in Konoha Village any longer and set off towards the village entrance.
Just as they had just walked out of Konoha Village, a white-haired man walked out of an alley at the village entrance.
He was about twenty years old, wearing round-framed glasses, and looked gentle. Kaoru and the other four set off first, and he followed out of the village.
However, he did not follow Kaoru and his party, but walked in another direction in the forest.
Before long, he stopped in front of a swamp. The swamp was dark brown and looked very disgusting.
"Come out, I have something to report to Lord Orochimaru." The white-haired man pushed his glasses and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the mud in the swamp began to roll, and then a yellow-spotted python emerged from the swamp.
Only the head of the snake was exposed, and its body could not be seen, but the snake's head was about the size of a human body, so it could be imagined that its body was also very huge.
"Yakushi Kabuto, what do you want with Orochimaru?" The snake spat out its tongue and said coldly.
Please tell Lord Orochimaru that according to the information I have gathered, one of the targets he wants, Uchiha Kaoru, has gone to a place called Asakusa Village to carry out a mission.
That kid only has a special jonin and two genin by his side. If you want to take action, this is an excellent opportunity. Kabuto said to the snake with a smile.
"Orochimaru is really interested in everything." The snake said, "In that case, I will report it to him."
With that, the snake's head sank again, disappearing into the swamp.
"Lord Orochimaru, you must seize the opportunity." Yakushi Kabuto said with a smile.
On the other side, Team 8 led by Kurenai Yuhi was shuttling through the forest.
"Strange, they didn't chase after us?" Kaoru thought silently in his heart. Before, when he was leaving the village, he felt a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark.
He originally thought that this person would follow them after leaving the village and then seize the opportunity to capture them, but he found that the person did not follow.
"Kurenai-sensei, how much longer?" Before they had walked for long, Shin was already a little impatient.
"It's still early, what are you panicking about." Kurenai Yuhi said lukewarmly.
"Sigh." Hina and Shin sighed, while Kaoru was still thinking about what had just happened.
So, Team 8 crossed another mountain and crossed a river before finally arriving at Asakusa Village.
Asakusa Village was located under a steep mountain. The village had a small population, only about a hundred people. Naturally, there were no ninjas in such a poor and backward village.
Walking on the ridges in the village, Kurenai Yuhi struck up a conversation with a middle-aged man working in the fields.
"Excuse me, where can I pick Dragon Beard Grass?" Kurenai Yuhi asked.
"Dragon Beard Grass..." The dark-skinned middle-aged man pondered for a few seconds, then pointed to the mountain next to the village.
"Dragon Beard Grass is only found on that lone peak, and most of it grows on cliffs, making it difficult to pick. If you want it, you have to rely on your own abilities." The middle-aged man said.
Everyone looked up and found that one side of the lone peak in front was a cliff, and the other side was a large slope, like a knife inserted into the land.
There was a large forest on the large slope, but it was estimated that the Dragon Beard Grass should be growing on the cliff side.
For ordinary people, climbing such a cliff was indeed a bit dangerous, but for ninjas, this was just a basic thing they needed to do.
"Then thank you." After Kurenai Yuhi thanked him, she led the three of them towards the lone peak again.
Arriving at the foot of the cliff side of the lone peak, Team 8 looked at the mountain wall perpendicular to the ground and only felt their calves softening.
"I say, Kurenai-sensei, how are we going to climb up? It's so high." Shin said with a bitter face. This cliff was so high and wide that it was impossible to see the end at a glance.
"This is a good place." Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile, "You can also learn new skills, how to walk on the wall."
"Walk on the wall?" Hina raised her eyebrows.
"Yes." Kurenai Yuhi nodded, "Actually, the principle is similar to walking on the water. First, gather chakra at the soles of your feet..."
"Is it like this, Kurenai-sensei?" Before Kurenai Yuhi finished speaking, Kaoru said faintly.
At this time, his feet had already stepped on the cliff, and the whole person was standing on the cliff parallel to the ground.
"That little rascal actually knows it!" Hina clenched her fists.
"Alas, we're both genin, why is there such a big difference?" Shin wailed.
"Alright, alright, it's just a little more difficult than walking on the water. With your experience in walking on the water, you will learn it quickly." Kurenai Yuhi comforted helplessly.
Sure enough, God doesn't disappoint those who have a heart. After a while, the other two members of Team 8 also learned how to walk on walls, but Shin was still a bit unskilled.
"Alright, now that everyone has learned this trick, let's prepare to carry out the mission." Kurenai Yuhi said, and gave each of her three students a photo.
