Chapter 21 The first mission! (Please recommend, vote monthly, and read on)
Defining Hide Hoshita as a medical ninja can be regarded as a kind of care and protection for Minato Namikaze.
Hoshita Shuichi knew this very well and immediately expressed his stance: "Then leave everyone's back to me!"
Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo laughed together and said, "We will also protect Shuichi."
Namikaze Minato secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. The atmosphere was unexpectedly good.
In view of the special nature of this newly formed team, Namikaze Minato did not arrange to grab the bell to test the team members' teamwork, but directly announced the mission: "I took on a mission when I went to meet the Third Hokage just now. A psychic beast is suspected to have appeared in the Forest of Death. Our mission is to investigate this matter. If there is a psychic beast, we need to track the possible psychic beast and capture it intact according to the situation. "
Uchiha Shisui took the initiative and asked: "Teacher Minato, is there any more information about psychic beasts?"
Namikaze Minato shook his head and said, "No."
"It's because the beasts in the Death Forest are in turmoil, so we speculate that there are psychic beasts."
"Any question?"
Hoshita Shuichi and the three of them shook their heads in unison.
"Set off!"
Namikaze Minato gave the order and set off first, Hoshige Shuichi and the others followed immediately.
For Shuichi Hoshita, the first day after graduation was obviously beyond his expectations.
There was no grabbing the bell, just going straight to the intensity.
If there are psychic beasts, then this mission can be C-level?
After all, psychic beasts are no less dangerous than ninjas.
All the way away from the core area of Konoha Village, the group arrived at the entrance of the Death Forest in less than a quarter of an hour.
"There are many wild beasts and poisonous insects in the Death Forest, so be careful."
Namikaze Minato gave instructions before leading Hoshita Shuichi and the others in.
The ancient trees support the sky, and the human body looks very small among them.
The four people walked through it, stopping from time to time to analyze the traces left by some animals.
The main ones who spoke were Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Shisui, and Kurama Sanyo. Hoshita Shuichi was among the students listening to the class.
And the three Minato people obviously wanted to take care of him.
In this regard, Shuichi Hoshita humbly asked for advice, eagerly absorbing nutrients from the three of them, and gradually transformed the theoretical knowledge he learned from the Ninja School into practical application experience.
And from the tracking along the way, he could also see that, not to mention Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Shisui was obviously more accomplished in tracking traces than Kurama Sanyo.
Of course, Kurama Sanyo, who comes from a famous illusion family, is also good.
People who are good at illusions tend to pay great attention to details.
An hour later, four figures landed on a thick branch one after another.
Uchiha Shisui said: "Minato-sensei, he should be here."
Anma Shanyang smiled and said: "The activity traces of the surrounding beasts have obviously decreased, and there are signs of migrating to the surrounding areas. I am afraid that this place has been occupied and has become the territory of psychic beasts."
Beasts are territorial, especially powerful beasts.
And psychic beasts are no exception.
Namikaze Minato said: "Based on the traces, this psychic beast should be a wild cat, and its advantage should be speed, so everyone must be alert."
Hoshita Shuichi and the other three nodded in unison: "Yes, Minato-sensei."
Namikaze Minato made a gesture, and the four people immediately moved forward, and formed a semicircle to surround them and move forward.
Suddenly, Uchiha Shisui made a gesture, Hoshita Shuichi and the others immediately stopped and looked in the direction of Uchiha Shisui's finger.
On a branch, under the sunlight filtering through the fallen leaves, a black cat was lying lazily, its tail sweeping around.
Namikaze Minato immediately made a gesture.
outflank!
In addition to Uchiha Shisui, Hoshita Shuichi and the others immediately took action to outflank the black cat.
However, the black cat was very alert and noticed something before the outflanking was completed. He stood up, then with a meow, he jumped up, in the direction of the gap in the circle surrounded by Hoshixia Shuichi and others.
"Stop it!"
Namikaze Minato shouted.
Now that it has been exposed, there is no need to be cautious anymore.
In an instant, chakra erupted under the feet of Hoshita Shuichi and others, and each of them used the teleportation technique to attack the black cat.
But the black cat's speed is also amazingly fast. At least Hoshita Shuichi feels that his speed is not as fast as this black cat, especially in this environment.
However, Namikaze Minato and the others were faster.
Whoosh!
The kunai flew and hit the branch in front of the black cat aggressively.
It was a kunai thrown by Namikaze Minato.
The black cat was frightened and immediately changed direction.
And then Hoshita Shuichi saw that the black cat that had just landed on the branch changed direction and rushed straight towards Uchiha Shisui.
"It's an illusion!"
Hoshita Shuichi looked at Kurama Sanyo who just put down his hand.
And then he saw Uchiha Shisui and Black Cat looking at each other in the air. The next moment, Black Cat fell down and was caught by Uchiha Shisui.
Sharingan hypnosis!
sharp.
So is Anma Shanyang using the wrong technique?
Hoshita Shuichi secretly guessed.
Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "The cooperation is very good."
"Then the mission has been successfully completed. Let's go back."
A group of four people left the Forest of Death without any hesitation.
However, Hoshita Shuichi found that there was another entry leaf in the entry tree in his mind.
【Tracking Expert】
Obtain conditions: Track the enemy's traces at least five times in the mission.
Effect: Tracking talent increased by 100%, trace sensitivity increased by 100%.
Another expert entry, Shuichi Hoshita was a little numb.
However, the difficulty of the conditions was not high, because the previous task had been counted as a suitable task in the entry tree.
In other words, he did not need to track the enemy alone to succeed.
Looking at the three people in front of him, Shuichi Hoshita felt that [Tracking Expert] might be the easiest and fastest expert entry for him to obtain.
Smiling secretly, Shuichi Hoshita caught up with Kurama Sanyo in front of him, walked side by side with him, and asked him about illusion knowledge.
Of course, he only asked some theoretical questions, not specific ninjutsu.
Kurama Sanyo was not stingy about this, and answered all questions.
Back to the Hokage Building, Minato Namikaze handed in the task, received the commission and distributed it, and Shuichi Hoshita immediately received 6,000 taels.
"That's all for the morning. Now, I'll treat everyone to barbecue at noon."
After leaving the Hokage Building, Minato Namikaze smiled.
Shuichi Hoshita and the other two immediately thanked him and walked towards the barbecue restaurant.
On the way, Minato Namikaze asked, "Shuichi, what is your next training direction?"
"Fire escape?"
Although he had not seen Shuichi Hoshita perform Fire escape ninjutsu with his own eyes, he also got information from Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Knowing that Shuichi Hoshita could recover from watching his classmates perform the Great Fireball Technique, this ninjutsu talent is indeed outstanding.
Fire escape?
Shuichi Hoshita shook his head: "Teacher Minato, I have mastered 5 Fire escape ninjutsu so far, covering short, medium and long distances."
"For me, more Fire escape ninjutsu is unnecessary because of chakra restrictions."
These words surprised Minato Namikaze and the other two.
Kurama Sanyo couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Are the newcomers so powerful now?"
He graduated for more than a year, and he didn't master 5 illusions.
Namikaze Minato nodded and continued: "Then, Shuichi, your next focus will be close combat physical skills, and swordsmanship?"
As he said, he pointed to the Amagusa Chakra knife on Shuichi Hoshita's lower back.
Shuichi Hoshita nodded: "Yes, Minato-sensei."
"Due to the limitation of chakra, I think most of the time on the battlefield, I will still use close combat more."
"And the quality of all aspects of the body is the foundation of ninjas, so my next training direction is to strengthen physical training, physical skills, ninja tools, and swordsmanship."
Namikaze Minato smiled and praised: "A very wise choice."
And Uchiha Shisui took the initiative to say to Shuichi Hoshita: "In terms of ninja tools and swordsmanship, Shuichi, if you have any needs, don't be polite to me."
Kurama Sanyo also smiled and said: "I'm so-so in physical skills, but I think it shouldn't be a big problem to be a sparring partner."
Shuichi Hoshita was very thick-skinned and not polite at all: "Then I will trouble you in the future."
