In the evening.
Red Bean and Oda came to Hyōjin's room to visit him.
As former subordinates of Orochi Maru, Hyōjin, Red Bean, and Oda can be said to sympathize with each other. In addition, they are close in age and are in the same squad, so the relationship between them is quite harmonious.
After chatting for a while, Oda suddenly smiled and said: "Kuroto, this time you really got sick at the wrong time."
Hyōjin was a little puzzled: "Why?"
Oda explained: "Just now, Captain assigned a special task to me and Red Bean. If we can successfully complete it, maybe we can be transferred back to the village and no longer have to endure the sandstorm here!"
"Special task!?" Hyōjin was startled and immediately said: "I wish you success in your task."
For some reason, Hyōjin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but ninjas are not allowed to inquire about each other's tasks. So although he was suspicious, he didn't say anything.
Oda patted Hyōjin's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the village will not forget us excellent ninjas who have experienced the war. It won't be long before you will be transferred back to the village. For now, you can rest in peace and recuperate."
Hyōjin said: "Be careful!"
After chatting a few more words, Oda and Red Bean left Hyōjin's room.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Hyōjin, who is still in the adaptation period, is still tortured by dizziness and stinging pain from time to time, but this kind of torture is not bitter, because every time the pain comes, it will be accompanied by the improvement of his strength.
Although there is no accurate test, Hyōjin secretly estimated that the amount of Chakra's amount in his body at this time is more than ten times that before the injection of genetic serum.
There is no clear standard for the division of ninjas. The judgment of genin, chunin, jonin, and even kage will vary according to different environments and different eras.
For example, Hyōjin, before he was injected with the gene serum, he was actually just a senior Genin. Except for the most basic Sanjutsu, Soft Fist, as well as superficial summoning and sealing techniques, he hardly knew any other ninjutsu.
But even so, he was still promoted to Chunin by the village and led the team to carry out several reconnaissance missions.
But no matter what, there was still a vague standard that everyone agreed on.
For example.
Ninjas who can perform E-class ninjutsu or use their own blood are considered to have reached the standard of a genin.
If you can perform a C-class ninjutsu multiple times, you can be considered a chunin.
Being able to perform B-Class Ninjutsu multiple times and proficient in one of Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, or having a strong Kekkei can be considered as a Jonin.
As for the kage level, it is actually one of the strongest ninjas in the village, so in different eras, the concept of kage level is also different.
Because of this, Chakra's amount has become one of the important criteria for judging the strength of a ninja.
If Hyōjin's strength can only be regarded as a genin before, then now his Chakra's amount has obviously exceeded the level of ordinary chunin and is soaring towards the level of an ordinary Jonin.
After three days of adaptation, Hyōjin can barely use his eyes.
Through careful observation, he found that his eyes have become like a clear sky-blue gem, shining with breathtaking brilliance, making people can't help but be immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.
At the same time, he found that the cage bird on his forehead still exists, but it seems to have lost its effect.
This is also natural, the cage bird targets the Byakugan and all the brain nerves connected to the Byakugan, and now it is no longer the Byakugan in Hyōjin's eye sockets but the Tenseigan, so although the cage bird technique has not been destroyed, it has actually solved itself.
Just when Hyōjin was estimating how long the adaptation period of the Tenseigan will last, he suddenly felt a familiar Chakra quickly approaching the outpost.
Without thinking much, Hyōjin quickly held the wall and walked out of his room.
After a while, a thin figure rushed into the outpost.
This figure is none other than Red Bean, who went out with Oda on a special mission a few days ago!
At this time, Red Bean's complexion is extremely poor, her face is almost bloodless, her body is covered with scars, and her breath is very chaotic, it seems that she has experienced a series of life and death battles.
With the vigilance tempered in the war, Hyōjin's hand has already reached into the ninja bag around his waist and took out a Kunai when he judged that the person was Red Bean, and the Tenseigan under the goggles also bloomed with a magnificent light, searching for the pursuers that may be following behind Red Bean.
But with just a slight glance, Hyōjin found that there is no pursuer behind Red Bean, so he was relieved.
At this time, other ninjas in the outpost also gathered around, either bandaging Red Bean's wounds or asking about the details of Red Bean's attack.
Hyōjin, who was on full alert on the side, with the unparalleled insight of the Tenseigan, noticed that when Naruichi Mitsui saw Red Bean, an inexplicable strange look flashed on his face, it seemed to be a complex expression mixed with surprise and anxiety.
In just an instant, a bad guess emerged in Hyōjin's heart.
In fact, he has long thought of this possibility, but he has never dared to be sure, or he has always been unwilling and did not want to be sure.
Subconsciously, Hyōjin and Naruichi Mitsui opened a little distance.
And Naruichi Mitsui's attention at this time was all on Red Bean, he did not notice Hyōjin's abnormality, he just calmly asked Red Bean: "Did you complete the task?"
Red Bean looked at Naruichi Mitsui coldly: "We were ambushed as soon as we arrived at the agreed place, it was a trap, Oda died on the spot, I barely escaped back after hiding in the desert for two days!"
Naruichi Mitsui heard this and his face was slightly unnatural: "Maybe the spy we placed in the sand ninjas was exposed, so you were ambushed, I will report to the village."
After that, Naruichi Mitsui left in a hurry, and Hyōjin did not say anything, he silently helped Red Bean up.
After returning to Red Bean's room, Red Bean suddenly asked Hyōjin: "Were we abandoned by the village?"
Being accepted as a disciple by Orochi Maru, Red Bean is obviously not stupid. This so-called special task is full of strangeness, and she is naturally aware of it.
Hyōjin helped Red Bean bandage the wound and said: "Don't think about it, it is common for tasks to go wrong, you still have little experience."
It seems that she was convinced by Hyōjin, Red Bean did not say anything, and her expression returned to the former numb state.
After dealing with Red Bean's injury and confirming that no enemy approached the outpost, Hyōjin returned to his room.
