Chapter 36

"Hmm, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Deshan; you continue to patrol."

After hearing Hyuga Deshan's words, the man called Lord Zhigao nodded gently and then said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Hyuga Deshan didn't say much either, nodded gently, and then turned and left directly.

Obviously, Hyuga Deshan was very familiar with the personality of his person in charge and didn't delay for even a second.

Of those present, only Kakashi felt surprised.

After all, this efficiency was simply too high; there was absolutely no nonsense.

And he, Kakashi, compared to everyone present, could truly be called lacking in experience.

Uchiha Fugaku naturally didn't need to be mentioned; the Uchiha were still one of the pillars of Konoha, even if Uchiha Fugaku was the successor to the Uchiha Clan Head.

But as an Elite Jonin, he never lacked various experiences. This kind of mission was just an insignificant part of his ninja career.

What's more, he was very familiar with this border person in charge named Zhigao.

As for Shuofeng, that was even more of a cheat with a god's-eye view.

Although he wouldn't dare to say he could recognize the ninja of every big and small family in Konoha, he, who was familiar with the future plot of the Naruto world, was accurate about the iconic family ninja of Konoha.

Big trench coat, black sunglasses, low-key personality, and that faint sense of presence—Shuofeng could be sure that this guy was definitely a ninja of the Aburame Clan.

If he wasn't, he, Uchiha Shuofeng, would eat the ancestral stone tablet of the Uchiha family.

And for a ninja of the Aburame Clan, was it strange to have this kind of performance? It wasn't strange at all, okay.

If a ninja of the Aburame Clan were to chatter on and on, that would be truly strange.

After knowing that the other party was a ninja of the Aburame Clan, the reason why the other party came out so fast was explained.

After all, the person's bugs were everywhere; maybe he had been discovered before he even arrived, and then they waited early at the door.

Of course, although Kakashi was somewhat surprised in his heart at this time, as a qualified ninja, Kakashi would not ask.

On the other side, after Hyuga Deshan left, Aburame Zhigao's gaze turned to the three members of Fugaku Squad.

Without much self-introduction, Aburame Zhigao said directly:

"Fugaku, I have long heard of the genius squad you lead. This time at the border, you must show your style."

As he spoke, a pile of bugs emerged directly from behind Aburame Zhigao, each exerting force to close the camouflage door that had been opened behind him.

Obviously, Aburame Zhigao had no intention of letting Fugaku Squad enter the base to catch up.

Regarding this, Uchiha Fugaku did not feel surprised.

Border missions, especially border guard reconnaissance missions, time was the most important thing. Catching up or whatever was almost non-existent.

So facing Aburame Zhigao's actions, Uchiha Fugaku had no reaction at all, but responded calmly:

"Lord Zhigao, you can rest assured; Shuofeng and Kakashi are both very reliable ninja."

Although Uchiha Fugaku's expression and voice were calm, it was not difficult to find the light of pride flashing in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes.

Before taking over as Clan Head, being able to receive two such genius students and teach them to become qualified and reliable ninja—how could this not make Uchiha Fugaku feel proud?

It was just because of his personality that Uchiha Fugaku didn't write this pride on his face.

Aburame Zhigao, who was not good with words, didn't have the intention to discuss deeply after hearing Uchiha Fugaku's voice and pointed out the theme again.

"Very good, next I will take you to the Seventeenth District for which Inuzuka Rei Squad is responsible; for the next three months, that is the area you are responsible for.

As for the specific scope, I will let Inuzuka Rei familiarize you with it after we arrive.

Your mission is to be responsible for investigating all suspicious personnel and matters entering the border; if necessary, you can use any means.

So let's set off now; as for this base, you don't need to worry, my squad still has one member staying behind in the base."

Speaking to the end, Aburame Zhigao pushed his sunglasses gently with his hand.

Hearing Aburame Zhigao explain so clearly, Uchiha Fugaku, Shuofeng, and Kakashi had no problems.

Nodding gently, all three agreed with Aburame Zhigao's words.

Seeing this, Aburame Zhigao didn't stay long either and set off directly, taking the three members of Fugaku Squad towards the Seventeenth District where Inuzuka Rei Squad was located.

How vast and long the border of the Land of Fire was; even just the part adjacent to the Land of Water across the sea was shockingly large.

The three turned left and right, walking for a full hour before reaching the Seventeenth District.

After arriving at the Seventeenth District, countless bugs emerged directly from Aburame Zhigao's body.

Following the rotation of the chakra in his body, countless bugs flew towards the distance in all directions.

Aburame Zhigao was confirming the location of Inuzuka Rei Squad; even if it was just an area for which a squad was responsible, it was big enough.

After all, it was now a non-war state, and Konoha could not send too many ninja to guard the border.

In the entire border area for which Aburame Zhigao was responsible, the number of Konoha ninja was only about one hundred squads.

It seemed like it was already quite a lot, but after being dispersed to all areas, personnel were still very tight.

Under this situation, using bugs to determine the location of Inuzuka Rei was undoubtedly very effective.

Sure enough, after only a moment, Aburame Zhigao had already determined the specific location of Inuzuka Rei.

"Very good, the location has been determined, follow me."

Without nonsense, after a simple notification, Aburame Zhigao led the way forward again.

Hearing Aburame Zhigao's voice, the waiting Fugaku Squad entered the state instantly.

Even Shuofeng and Kakashi, who were distracted, returned to their senses and moved forward instantly.

Hmm, Kakashi was distracted because he was thinking about the important role of the Aburame Clan's bugs on the battlefield and in missions.

And Shuofeng, he was simply thinking about how the Aburame Clan fed the bugs in their bodies.

Although bugs fed on chakra and could multiply rapidly by consuming chakra.

But to urge a large number of bugs at once, the bugs in one's body would definitely not be a small number.

With so many bugs, how did the Aburame Clan get them into their bodies?

It couldn't be that they directly replaced their organs with bugs, right? Even if that were true, there had to be a passage to get in, right? Could it be that every ninja of the Aburame Clan was a shower head?

Of course, although he was curious in his heart and wanted to figure out what the situation was, Shuofeng still controlled his mouth firmly.

After all, asking about such family secret arts was a naked provocation.

Although it was possible to obtain a lot of resentment energy, but provoking an elite ninja who was stronger than himself and was also one of his own people?

Shuofeng indicated that he wanted to collect resentment energy, not contribute it.
