Stand on your own!

On July 9, 39th year of Konoha, at 9 am, the team set out from Daimyofu.

It was just that the speed seemed very slow.

Hideichi Hoshita looked back at the slow sedan chair and the six samurai, feeling a little uncomfortable.

How long would it take to go to the Bear Country and come back at this speed?

One month or two months?

Sure enough, after three days of leisure, the team finally arrived at the border of the Fire Country.

Before entering the Rain Country, Minato Namikaze reminded: "Be vigilant after entering the Rain Country, Shisui, you are responsible for the front, Shuichi, you are responsible for the left, Sanyo, you are responsible for the right, I am in the middle!"

Hideichi Hoshita and the other two nodded in unison.

On July 12th, at 9 am, the team officially entered the Rain Country.

The six samurai brought by the delegation still followed the sedan chair, Shuichi Hoshita and the other two scattered, and Minato Namikaze was in the middle to dispatch.

Of course, it was also because Namikaze Minato mastered the perception ninjutsu.

He sensed once every once in a while, and the scope of his investigation would be much larger than that of Shuichi Hoshita and the others.

…

It's raining!

Shuichi Hoshita looked up, and raindrops fell on his face, first in drops, and soon formed into a line, affecting his vision.

According to the plan, Shuichi Hoshita immediately reduced the distance from the team.

After walking for another hour, the rain was heavier, and the team stopped until the rain stopped around 2 pm, and the team continued to move forward.

Shuichi Hoshita was still in charge of the left side. Although he was wearing a raincoat, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable with the wetness on his body.

"What a hell of a weather, it looks like it's going to rain again..."

Shuichi Hoshita looked up at the gloomy sky that seemed to be pressing down.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the rain fell again.

The warning zone shrank again, but Shuichi Hoshita suddenly stopped, staring at the wind and rain, and vaguely saw a figure flashing by.

"There's trouble..."

Shuichi Hoshita raised his hand to seal, and sent a shadow clone to report to Minato Namikaze.

On the team side, Minato Namikaze immediately pointed at the ground after seeing Shuichi Hoshita's shadow clone, and lowered his eyes to sense it.

Looking at this posture, Shuichi Hoshita was greedy: Too handsome!

"1, 2... A total of 8 people, two teams, it seems that there is no intention to attack, just surveillance?"

After sensing, Minato Namikaze stood up and said: "Shuichi, please notify Shisui, Sanyo and others to stay alert. If the enemy does not attack, there is no need to contact the enemy."

"Understood!"

Shuichi Hoshita nodded, then turned to notify Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo.

And this kind of vigilance continued until nightfall, entering a town.

Although they were already quite tired, Shuichi Hoshita and the others still did not dare to be careless.

After dinner, Minato Namikaze assigned tasks: "Shisui and I will be responsible for the first half of the night, Shuichi you and Sanyo will be responsible for the second half of the night."

"Understood!"

The three nodded, Shuichi Hoshita and Sanyo Kurama went to rest immediately, and in less than 2 minutes, the two fell into a deep sleep.

Shuichi Hoshita was already used to it, and Sanyo Kurama hypnotized himself directly.

At 12 o'clock midnight, Shuichi Hoshita and Sanyo Kurama woke up on time to replace Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha.

Fortunately, the night was peaceful.

At 5 o'clock, Minato Namikaze got up and replaced Shuichi Hoshita and the others.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the team set off.

In less than half an hour, the monitor appeared again.

At the time of the lunch break, Kurama Sanyo couldn't help but say: "These guys are too annoying, Minato teacher, why not expel them."

Namikaze Minato shook his head: "In this case, maybe they have tricked us."

After that, he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, it should be fine after leaving the Rain Country."

As expected by Minato Namikaze, the monitor disappeared after leaving the Rain Country.

Hoshita Shuichi and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.     These days, the spirit is tense, and the fatigue of the brain is far greater than that of the body.

However, Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but think about the identity and intention of the monitor.

"The Bear Country used to be the younger brother of the Earth Country, and it also belongs to the sphere of influence of the Hidden Rock Village. The most likely one is the Rock Ninja."

"But it is not ruled out that the Sand Ninja is causing trouble."

"Why just monitor, but not take action?"

While Hoshita Shuichi was thinking secretly, Kurama Sanyo also asked the same question to Namikaze Minato.

Namikaze Minato said: "No matter which force it is, if it is not to stop the delegation from going to the Bear Country, then it is for intelligence."

Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but say: "It seems that we will be in big trouble when we come back."

Kurama Sanyo clenched his fist: "Then teach them a lesson!"

…

On July 20, Hoshita Shuichi and others finally arrived at the Daimyo's mansion in the Bear Country, and then the team was divided into two, taking turns to protect the envoy of the Fire Country Daimyo.

This process lasted for two days, and everything was peaceful.

On July 23, Hoshita Shuichi and others left the Bear Country and arrived at the border of the Rain Country three days later.

Before entering the Land of Rain, Minato Namikaze said solemnly: "The next step is the battle mode!"

"Everything is based on the mission, not killing the enemy!"

Hiroshita Shuichi and the other two nodded in unison: "Understood!"

Minato Namikaze continued: "Next, we will be divided into three groups. Shisui and Sanyo, you will be Group A; Shuichi, you will be Group B, and I will be Group C."

"Group B is responsible for guarding the mission target and must not leave the mission target."

"And the possible enemies will be handed over to Group A and Group C."

"If anyone is injured, then retreat to Group B and Shuichi will treat them!"

…

On July 28, Shuichi Hoshita and others officially entered the Land of Rain.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Minato Namikaze to sense that there were ninjas spying on him.

Half an hour later, a large number of enemies appeared on both sides of the team, and they seemed to be outflanking.

Minato Namikaze said decisively: "Group B will protect the target and continue to move forward, and Group A will engage the enemy on the left!"

"Understood!"

Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo set out, and then Minato Namikaze also disappeared on the right.

Hoshita Shuichi continued to protect the messenger.

About 10 minutes later, Minato Namikaze and others returned one after another.

Uchiha Shisui immediately said: "Teacher Minato, this is consuming us."

"These guys are small ninja organizations in the Rain Country, and someone hired them with bounties."

Minato Namikaze nodded, and he also knew this from the attackers.

"It seems that there will be many attacks next, so we have to change the original plan."

Minato Namikaze decided: "From now on, the three groups will take turns to attack until the real enemy appears!"

As he said, he looked up at Shuichi Hoshita: "Shuichi, is there a problem?"

Shuichi Hoshita shook his head: "No."

Minato Namikaze immediately took out two special kunai and handed them to Shuichi Hoshita and Uchiha Shisui: "Shuichi, your task is to deal with the enemy on the left. If you can't defeat them, you can just fight to contain them."

"In addition, any group left behind will send a signal flare if a strong enemy attacks the mission target!"

"Understood!"

After nodding in unison, Shuichi Hoshita's chakra burst out and his figure disappeared from the spot.
