Chapter 2176: Day 2 (4,000 words)
"Haw...Haw..."
A few crisp birdsong of early summer, along with the bright sunshine permeating this warm breath, projected into the embassy's room, reflecting the entire simple but not out of style room layout, and the unique comfort and warmth of the sun suddenly flooded in Inside the room.
"It's morning..."
And under the bright sunshine, the closed eyes of the teenager who was sleeping on the bed trembled slightly, and finally, under the slightly frowned brows, was awakened by the slightly irritating but warm and comfortable sunlight. Slowly opened his eyes.
Then, with this sound, the boy sat up gently from the bed and scanned for a week with his sleepy eyes open. It was exactly the same as last night, without any changes in the furnishings.
"Cuckoo...cuckoo..."
And at this time, on the window sill, a little black-topped pigeon poked its head out, thief turned around, and seemed to scream very carefully.
When it touched the boy's gaze, it seemed that it was finally determined that this was its destination, and it jumped onto the windowsill.
"Coco! Coco!"
Then, the pigeon's eyes showed a bit of disdain, as if with a kind of reprimand, he called a few times to increase the decibels at the young man.
He called, stretched out his right foot, seeming to emphasize the letter on its right foot.
Then, with a swing of his head, he put on a look of disdain.
"Is it news from Long Yan..."
After noticing the carrier pigeon, the teenager quickly figured out who had passed the message.
At the same time, he got out of the bed without being too troubled by the homing pigeon that raised one foot and took the letter from the pigeon's leg.
"Goo!"
But when the letter on the pigeon's leg was taken off, the pigeon did not leave. Instead, after looking at the young man with contempt, he called out impatiently, then jumped aside and looked at the pigeon on the next building in a daze.
"Really... the fastest is coming this morning."
After spreading out the letter, the teenager saw the very simple message on it, and the follow-up personnel will all arrive today.
Afterwards, the boy didn’t talk nonsense. He drew out a blank letter paper and wrote a very simple reply. Then, while the carrier pigeon was reluctant to twist, he let it go and sent it to the owner of the carrier pigeon. .
Well, since the morning will arrive, it should be around 8:30 in the morning, and I have to get up.
Ugh....
It's been a long time since I slept so well.
Seeing the homing pigeon flying farther and farther, the boy turned around reluctantly, picked up his jacket, and walked downstairs.
It has to be said that Konoha's thoughtful service has saved him a lot of trouble. At least when he goes downstairs, he only needs to wash and eat a rich breakfast with Konoha characteristics.
And Konoha did not have any deductions on breakfast because he was alone in the embassy.
A suitable breakfast according to the juvenile appetite has been waiting downstairs, full of fragrance.
This surprised the boy. What kind of methods Konoha used to learn about his appetite, and that these breakfast dishes are all his favorite types, and he has to feel that there is a kind of thing about life. The information has been completely leaked to Konoha.
However, this is just a matter of thinking. Today's highlight is not about breakfast or washing.
Today, the lower ninjas of their Cao Yin Village will arrive one after another.
Their plan is officially about to begin.
This game that originated from Konoha's transnational Zhongjin exam has officially begun!
...
"How about, Sasuke!"
At this time, on the other side, a secret place outside the embassy just happened to be seen under the big tree under the window of the only room where people lived in the embassy. The girl with pink hair raised her head and looked at the top of the big tree which was the most hidden. The handsome boy with black hair and ninja crouching on the branch with the best view asked softly.
"Hey! Kozakura, Sasuke, no! Ichiyo is very good! How could it be a spy!"
At the same time, behind the pink-haired boy, the blond boy with an embarrassed look couldn't help but speak.
Between the words, there was a low mood.
It was Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha.
"Okay, okay! Naruto, you are too naive! Why, why did this Haneda Ichiyo Mingming rescue Konoha Maru and invite us to eat ramen? There are so many people in the village, why did he just invite us to eat, To him, we are also passers-by. And, don’t you think you’ve been bought? So many char siu, you gave it to us without thinking, don’t you think it’s suspicious? Also, he himself is suspicious, Why did Uncle Yile add so much barbecued pork to him unknowingly, and, at the beginning, Uncle Yile looked at him as if he knew him... In short, it was too suspicious! We must investigate clearly. !"
As for Uzumaki Naruto's words, Haruno Sakura was serious and she hated iron and steel and explained it to Naruto.
Accept...accept...
Yiye, so generously distributed to us char siu, is... to buy it?
how....
how could it be possible....
But how could Sakura lie to me.
And this explanation of hating iron but not steel completely defeated Naruto Uzumaki's original belief that "Ichiba Haneda is a good person".
At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki completely began to shake.
On the one hand, although he feels that his sweetheart's words should not be true, but after another thought, how could Sasuke and Sakura lie to him, and, let alone Sasuke, Sakura is much smarter than him, maybe true It's not necessarily what he didn't see if he saw it!
On the one hand, from his own perception, or intuitively, he felt that Haneda Ichiba was not a bad person.
For a while, he was wavering between his instinct and his trust in Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke.
The whole person froze on the spot.
"Shh! Be quiet! He is out!"
And at this time, above the branch, Uchiha Sasuke, who had the best eyesight of the three, suddenly made a silent gesture, and his entire face suddenly became serious.
Although they have successfully deduced the place where the Kusakura envoy will be, and accurately found the room where he is located, it does not mean that their tracking will go smoothly. After all, the strength of Haneda Ichiba is there. , One is not careful, they will be exposed unknowingly.
"Come on!"
And now, the location of the tree they were on happened to be on the side of the road that came out of the embassy and was the only way to the village. Now, this Haneda Ichiba has finished his breakfast at a jaw-dropping speed. Coming out soon, if Sakura and Naruto are still standing under the tree like this, they will be spotted immediately.
"go!"
Hearing this sound, Haruno Sakura was also alert and grabbed Naruto's person and jumped directly to the branch. After a few ups and downs, she sat behind Uchiha Sasuke.
Little...Sakura...
At the same time, feeling the silky touch on his arms, Naruto Uzumaki almost sat down on the tree trunk, his back leaning on the tree trunk, the whole person almost softened, his face was already flushed, as if he would be "boo" in the next second. "With a sound, a cloud of white gas came out.
Out!
However, at this time, neither Haruno Sakura nor Uchiha Sasuke had noticed the abnormality of Uzumaki Naruto. Their eyes and attention had been completely curiously surveyed by the lower side from the road in front of the tree. While maintaining this leisurely posture, Ichiba Haneda who left as if taking a walk was attracted.
"go!"
When Haneda Ichiba left this area, the three of them hid in various hiding places under the prompt of Uchiha Sasuke, and followed all the way.
For a ninja suspected of spying like Haneda Ichiba, such tracking is the best way they can think of.
As a result, even if it is detected, it will alert Haneda Ichiba and delay his speed in obtaining Konoha's information.
Secondly, if he doesn't notice, then they can grab his tail.
Both possibilities are beneficial to them.
This behavior is necessary.
This is also the best way they can think of.
However, what they didn't expect was that tracking turned out to be such a laborious thing, even a test of the heart.
On the way, Haneda Ichiba did not have any suspicious behavior, on the contrary, it was normal and terrible.
First of all, after he left the embassy, ??he went to Konoha’s reception desk for foreigners to report. Although it was not necessary, it was an act of respect for Konoha. In this report, he and the receptionist Chatted for a while.
Their only gain was that the receptionist looked at Haneda Ichiyo, and seemed to be a little abnormal.
However, just like Uncle Yile, he was just stunned, surprised, and there was no more.
They talked about it, but they were just some Konoha's specialties, delicious and fun. Then some strangers will be curious about strange things, and there is nothing suspicious.
Moreover, this Haneda Ichiba seemed to be able to chat very well. For an hour, they talked about this, and the two people seemed to have a very happy chat. The conversation almost made the staff at the reception desk not think he was a teenager.
However, he was chatting happily, but the three of them almost died out in a crowded corner. Because of the structure of the reception desk and the fact that they needed to be close to Haneda Ichiba to hear what he was saying and judge him suspicious and No, so they can only squeeze in a narrow hidden space.
It can be said that the latter half is already a torture.
Then, after this Haneda Ichiba came out of the reception, he still went to the places mentioned in the chat to buy instant sweets such as specialty products without any special actions.
And this round and round is another hour.
However, although it was only an hour, when Haneda Ichiba came out of the shopping street, the three of them were already tired and lying on the ground.
Then, they finally understood that tracking is really not a simple matter, especially in places with a lot of people.
To hide, not only need to find a good escape point, but also have a good look, but you can't be greeted by your acquaintances and ruin the entire secret plan.
The three of them, even with a Uzumaki Naruto behind, received a lot of kind greetings, and they were almost spotted by Haneda Ichiha several times, if they hadn't dealt with them properly and avoided them quickly.
And precisely because of various emergencies, they almost entered a state of being exhausted, and at the same time, the shock in their hearts reached a peak.
In the end, when Haneda Ichiba came out of the commercial street, the three people behind him were almost lying on the ground.
And Naruto Uzumaki was already in tears.
It's too difficult!
...
"It's almost time to give up."
And after a few minutes, I walked out of Haneda Ichiba in the commercial street, looked at the door of the Konoha Village in the distance, and walked leisurely with a big bag of instant dim sum food. After not feeling the tracking behind him, he slowly spit out such a sentence.
Come to think of it, this should be Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke's thoughts!
The idea is very good, and he has taken the actions he deserved. Sasuke Chiba has the aura of the Uchiha clan, and he will be connected with genius wherever he is. It is normal to be alert and act for it.
However, this Haruno Sakura can also achieve this level. Although her aptitude is far inferior to that of Uchiha Sasuke, she is actually the best in the ordinary ninja group.
The initial reaction to Kankuro was also quite reasonable.
Facing a stronger opponent than him, and in his own village, it is not an attack. At this time, the correct response is to give priority to apology. Kankuro is a foreigner, even if he does something provocative to Konoha. , But also give priority to occupy the side of reason, let the other party take care of the loss.
Besides, when I really fought Kankuro, and when Uchiha Sasuke was not there, the other two, plus Naruto Uzumaki, were basically for nothing.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, Haruno Sakura seemed to be underestimated, and no one guided her well.
As long as someone guides her to hide her potential under ordinary and weak, it shouldn't be a big problem to become a good ninja in the future.
Even, it is not uncommon to become a pivotal figure.
It seems that Konoha was right to come early.
Then, now that the tail is thrown off, you can rest assured...
Then After confirming that there is no small tail behind him, Haneda Ichiba's pace also quickened a little, and in his heart's appreciation for Haruno Sakura, he quickly walked to Konoha's gate.
"Trouble, I'm the envoy of Caoyin Village. The ninjas from Caoyin Village are coming soon. I'm going to wait here."
However, although Konoha's door was open, Haneda Ichiba walked to the registration office over there and said.
"Oh, it's Mr. Ichiyo, please."
Regarding this, the ninja on duty at the registry was stunned for a moment, and after seeing clearly that it was Haneda Ichiba, he hurriedly spoke.
"Thank you."
Hearing this, Haneda Ichiba smiled and then thanked him.
"Ah! It's a leaf! Hey! A leaf!"
At this time, a lively and crisp voice of surprise suddenly sounded a little further away from Konoha's gate.
"We're here!"
