"That's not right, is it?" Although he didn't understand Medical Ninjutsu very well, but…
Miki ignored him and said, "Meet at the usual spot tomorrow morning."
"Understood." Hatake nodded.
Seeing that the notification was delivered, Miki turned and left.
Getting up in his Hospital gown, Hatake found his Anbu vest, changed into his gear, and put on his mask.
Then he climbed out the window.
His body had just recovered and needed adaptation training. Time was a bit tight, so he had to seize every minute.
He was a Shinobi.
The next morning, the four met at their usual spot from their first encounter.
Without a word, Miki tossed Hatake a hooded cloak.
Under his mask, Hatake's eyebrows raised in surprise.
Such a good thing!?
He recognized the biological steel at a glance and swiftly put it on.
After putting it on, a huge sense of security enveloped Hatake's body and mind.
At this moment, Miki made a hand gesture and led the way without a word.
Seeing this, the three quickly followed.
Four figures in hooded cloaks sped along, taking a hidden route to leave the village, leaping through the trees in the forest outside the village.
After a long while, they stopped before a cliff face.
In the distance was a cliff by a river, with a large excavated cave entrance. Shimenawa ropes were strung around it.
Hatake had seen such things before, but this was his first time seeing them in use.
These ropes represented a Barrier, and the area they encircled was the extent of the Barrier.
And it was a very powerful defensive Barrier.
Following Miki, the four leaped out of the forest and landed, some crouching, some standing, on a Torii gate on the bank directly opposite the cliff cave entrance.
The scale was truly exaggerated.
Hatake thought after looking around.
Standing atop the Torii gate, Miki continuously made hand gestures.
Nearby shadows flickered, moving quickly into position one after another, then went into hiding.
It felt like something significant was happening.
Hatake's expression became solemn.
At this moment, Miki made a series of hand gestures towards Hatake.
Hatake nodded silently, understanding.
The mission he received was to guard the entrance to the Barrier.
Anyone who approached would be killed without mercy.
After the mission was given, Miki leaped from the Torii gate. As her figure descended in mid-air, several Kunai flew rapidly past her feet, embedding themselves firmly into the cliff face.
Miki then ran on the steel wires and entered the cave.
Following closely behind her was Chiri.
Hatake looked at Chiri, who was next to him, holding a steel wire.
Seeing the two enter the cave, Chiri cut the steel wire.
Her figure then swiftly disappeared from Hatake's sight.
A visible and invisible guard, then.
Hatake crouched on the Torii gate, silently overlooking the wind-swept forest below with an open view.
One hand rested on the short sword at his back.
Under his mask, he licked his dry lips.
Hopefully, nothing goes wrong.
Although Hatake still didn't know what was happening.
But the mission was simply to guard the entrance.
No need to think, he knew what to do.
Behind him on the cliff, a heavy boulder fell, sealing the cave entrance.
Immediately after, the Barrier officially activated, the flow of Chakra humming incessantly. After a while, the Barrier became invisible.
The wind ruffled Hatake's white wolf tail, his hair flying wildly, his figure as still as a stone.
A silent, murderous aura filled the world.
His Byakugan eyes were sharp like a wolf's.
A moment later…
Hatake wanted to scratch his head, gradually realizing something.
Hmm, isn't this a guard dog's job?
Then, such a scene involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"Hatake! Bite him!"
Miki, holding a leash, commanded imperiously.
Crouching on the ground, he obediently bared his fangs.
Hatake silently stood up. In the wind, he crossed his arms, overlooking the forest.
A demeanor of a powerful individual.
Chiri, who was sitting on the Torii gate, swinging her feet, looked at Hatake in surprise.
Did his legs go numb?
How long had it been?
Was his body not fully recovered?
Under her mask, her cheeks puffed out, candy rolling around in her mouth.
Her small feet swung happily in the wind.
