Summoning the shikigami of Konoha

"sorry I'm late"

Arriving at the gathering place out of breath, Hinata immediately apologized to the people in front of her. Because of Katsuragi's incident, she almost forgot that Kurenai had specially ordered to gather here yesterday to talk about the next task.

"It doesn't matter, the time is just right."

Hong smiled and said that the time they agreed on was ten o'clock, and it was only nine fifty-five now. It was not considered late, but their team usually liked to meet half an hour in advance.

"But Hinata, it's rare for you to come so late. What happened?"

Shino Aburame put her hands in her pockets, looked at Hinata, and expressed concern with an expressionless expression.

"It's okay, it's okay." Hinata shook her head and whispered, "It's just that I practiced too late yesterday and got up a little late this morning. I'm very sorry."

"Hinata, you can't continue to practice like this, otherwise you will have physical problems." After hearing Hinata's words, Hong frowned and persuaded, then looked at Hinata, and asked a little strangely: "But what? I feel like your complexion today is very different from before.”

Then he quietly approached Hinata and asked in a low voice: "You didn't use any cosmetics, can you recommend them to me?"

"Ah" Hinata's face turned red, then she quickly shook her head and whispered to Kurenai: "Ms. Kurenai, I'm useless."

"Wang Wang"

At this time, Akamaru suddenly jumped off Kiba's body, sniffed at Hinata twice, and barked twice at Kiba.

"what"

Ya looked at Akamaru in surprise, and then said doubtfully: "It's impossible, you smelled it wrong, isn't that guy still outside now?"

"Wang Wang"

Akamaru bared his teeth and barked twice again, which made Hinata suddenly feel nervous. Although she didn't understand dog language, she had already vaguely guessed something from the answer just now.

"Hinata, Akamaru said he smelled the scent of laurel wood on you. Is he back?"

Kiba raised his head and asked Hinata curiously.

"No," Hinata shook her head in panic, and then said, "Maybe I helped him clean the house."

"oh, I see"

Ya didn't have any doubts, hugged Akamaru who jumped back, and then said with a smile: "It's been so long, I don't know what happened to that guy Gui Mu. I heard that he caused a lot of troubles, ah, Teacher Hong , I really want to go out and experience the village alone.”

"You should improve your strength first and then talk."

Kurenai glared at her teeth angrily, and then looked at Hinata with her peripheral vision, who was quietly breathing a sigh of relief, thinking thoughtfully in her heart.

"Okay, let me talk about the next task first."

Kurenai clapped her palms, signaling for Ya to calm down, and then began to speak seriously: "This task is also related to Katsuragi. Katsuragi caused some trouble in Kirigakure Village before, so Lord Hokage sent Kakashi-senpai and your original Classmate Uchiha Sasuke went to Kirigakure Village for peace talks."

"But we were attacked on the way back. Uchiha Sasuke is missing. Our mission is to support and assist Kakashi-senpai in finding him."

"That guy Sasuke is missing"

Ya said in surprise after hearing this.

"Then where should we look?" Shino asked looking at Kurenai.

"Kakashi found some clues near the Country of Grass. Let's go and meet him first, and then we'll see what happens." Hong continued: "This mission may take a long time. You go back and talk to your family first, and wait until tomorrow. When the time comes, we’ll gather here and set off.”

"All right

, disbanded. "

The three of them were about to leave. Just when Hinata was about to go back, Hong suddenly stopped her: "Hinata, please wait a moment."

Kiba and Shino turned to look at Hinata, thinking that Kurenai was going to talk about Hinata's training, so they didn't pay attention. After saying hello, they left one after another.

"Teacher Kurenai" Hinata looked confused at Kurenai who asked her to stay.

"Has that boy Gui Mu returned?"

Hong's pair of deep red pupils stared at Hinata and asked, which suddenly made Hinata panic and said nervously: "Teacher Honghong, why do you ask this?"

"Akamaru will definitely not smell the wrong smell. You can't go to Katsuragi's house to clean up after practicing last night. You are never late. It's rare that you are late today. Something must have happened." Kurenai analyzed it seriously first. Then he suddenly smiled and said: "Besides, your nervousness is too easy to see."

"So, I guess that boy must be back, and only his return can make you so happy."

"Teacher Red"

Hinata lowered her head shyly and remained silent, suddenly feeling guilty in her heart. Gui Mu had clearly asked her not to tell others about his return, but she didn't expect that she would be discovered just after leaving the house.

"Teacher Hong, Hinata is almost crying after being bullied by you."

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded, causing both of them to look in the direction of the voice in surprise, and then saw a helpless Katsuragi on a tree. He wanted to take a look at Hinata before leaving, but unexpectedly Just saw this scene.

But this was also an oversight on his part. From what Kurenai said just now, it was obviously because Akamaru smelled Hinata's scent from him. Hinata was not to blame for this, and he didn't expect that dog's nose to be so good.

In order not to embarrass Hinata, he showed up directly and proactively. With Kurenai's character, as long as they communicated well, he shouldn't be able to stop him. Moreover, if he really wanted to leave, no one in Konoha could stop him now. living.

"Cinnamon"

"You brat"

Both women were very surprised. Hinata didn't expect Katsuragi to be here, and Kurenai was about the same. Although she guessed that Katsuragi might have come back secretly, she didn't expect to be here.

"When did you come back"

Hong looked at Guimu who jumped down from the tree and walked over, and asked curiously, but she was thinking about how strong Guimu's strength was now. She was so close to her, but she never noticed it.

"Yesterday afternoon."

Gui Mu answered, then walked to Hinata, held her little hand, gave her a comforting look, and explained to Hong: "Teacher Hong, actually I came back secretly, and only you and Hinata know about it now." , so can you please not tell others about this?"

"What?" Hong looked at Gui Mu with a half-smile but said, "Are you afraid that Hokage-sama will punish you for causing so much trouble outside?"

"I didn't cause any trouble." Gui Mu helplessly shrugged and complained: "They just wanted to take the opportunity to find trouble. At most, I just went to have a friendly discussion, and I didn't even have the courage to go to the Great Ninja Village."

"The envoys from the Kingdom of Thunder are still in Konoha. They say you are going to assassinate their Raikage. This is called a friendly discussion."

Hong said angrily. As a Jounin of Konoha, of course she knew some of the things that had happened recently.

"Hey, if I really wanted to assassinate him, Raikage wouldn't be alive right now." Katsuragi wiped his nose and said proudly. This is really not bragging. With his current strength, let alone assassination, in a one-on-one situation , it’s no problem to kill head-on.

Hearing Gui Mu's words, Hong obviously didn't believe it. He glared fiercely, and then said angrily: "You are so powerful, why don't you go to heaven?"

"You wait"
