After receiving the mission, Aburame handed the mission scroll to Yui as usual.
Yui opened the scroll, and Cold Wind and Waterstop hurried over.
This mission was a C-level rescue mission!
After the beginning of spring, the temperature in the Land of Fire quickly warmed up, and the rainfall gradually increased. A few days ago, there was a continuous downpour in a certain place, causing the water level to skyrocket and form a flood. Around dawn today, a small village was washed away.
Cold Wind and the others received the mission to rescue this small village.
Moreover, this was a joint mission. After Cold Wind's class received the mission, the other ninja classes could also receive it.
"Saving people is like putting out a fire. Let's go now." Cold Wind was not only full of energy today, but also full of positive energy. He felt like he could save the whole world.
"I know this small village. It's about two hundred kilometers away from Wood Leaf."
Waterstop muttered, "With our stamina and speed, it will take us at least two days!"
Two days? Even the daylily would be cold.
Cold Wind's heart thumped. He had the physique of an Uzumaki, so he might be able to reach the village in half a day. However, Waterstop and Yui's bodies were still immature. Obviously, they wouldn't be able to support such a crazy speed.
"Don't worry. If you don't have enough stamina, you can take soldier food pills. We can reach there by today!" Aburame said.
Cold Wind's eyes lit up, and then he looked at Aburame and said, "Poor!"
"Cough."
Waterstop coughed dryly and looked at Aburame, "Shihei-sensei?"
Yui also looked at him.
The corner of Aburame's mouth twitched slightly under the high-collared trench coat, but his voice was still calm, "The soldier food pills are not expensive. The commission fee from the previous mission is enough to cover the cost of this trip. When you complete the mission, the commission fee from the C-level mission will be enough to cover the loss of the soldier food pills."
"Shihei-sensei, you …"
Just as Cold Wind was about to strike a deal, he was interrupted by the aburame, "There's one more thing. During wartime, any mission that leaves the village must be recorded in the ninja's log. After the mission is over, it must be submitted to the mission center."
Cold Wind was perfectly diverted by the topic. He frowned and asked, "Mr. Shihei, does everyone have to write?"
"No, just one person is enough," Shihei said. "You guys decide for yourselves."
"Ahem, in fact, my writing is very bad. The things I write are like sloppy literature. There is no emotion, no vivid image, and no central idea …"
Cold Wind directly exposed his shortcomings. "Even my school homework was written by my younger brother. I really, really shouldn't have done that!"
Cold Wind's face was full of regret, and his eyes were full of drama.
"I need to take care of the bugs," Yui said.
Waterstop looked at Cold Wind and then looked at Yui with a gloomy face. "You guys … I … Okay, I'll write."
While talking, the four of them left Naruto's building and went to a nearby shop that sold soldier food pills.
The price of soldier food pills was one thousand per pill. If you bought ten pills, you could get a discount of five hundred.
Cold Wind looked at the thumb-sized soldier food pills and felt his scalp tingle. He found that anything related to ninjas was much more expensive than ordinary goods!
Especially now that it was a time of war, such a small pill could be sold for a thousand!
Cold Wind remembered that in the manga, Sakura made a basket of soldier food pills for Naruto. It seemed that this thing was not too difficult to make.
"Ten pills is enough," Shihei said.
When paying, Cold Wind carefully took out the money, afraid of revealing his wealth.
After buying the soldier food pills, the four of them walked to the village gate. Waterstop also bought a quest log. At the gate, the four of them took out their ninja IDs and quest scrolls to report. Only then were they let in.
When they were outside, Waterstop confirmed the location, and the four of them started running.
Shihei ran at the back, trying to minimize his presence as much as possible.
About half an hour later, the four of them had run nearly twenty kilometers. Cold Wind and Waterstop were also panting. Yui's hands were on her legs, and she could no longer walk.
"If you're tired, eat a soldier food pill immediately to replenish your strength," Shihei said from behind.
"Yes ~"
Yui waited for her breathing to stabilize, then took out a soldier food pill and swallowed it. Her exhausted strength instantly began to recover.
"Waterstop, don't you want one?" Cold Wind pretended to be tired. He wanted to eat one to keep a low profile, but seeing that Waterstop didn't eat, he didn't want to eat first. After all, he and Waterstop went out of the village to do a mission together, and his physical strength at that time was far better than Waterstop's.
"I can still hold on!"
Waterstop replenished some water, but he didn't eat the soldier food pill.
Then, the four of them continued on their way.
But after running for less than ten kilometers, Waterstop also reached his limit, so he had to eat a soldier food pill to replenish his strength.
With this, Cold Wind knew what to do.
After running for another ten kilometers, Cold Wind also swallowed a soldier food pill while panting. The taste was average. It wasn't too bad, but it definitely wasn't delicious, either. But after eating it, his strength recovered a little faster.
For the rest of the time, the group maintained a relatively stable running speed. Because they had the soldier food pills to replenish their strength, they didn't need to eat. They just needed to replenish their water and they could keep running.
But as they ran, Cold Wind felt that something was wrong.
If he remembered correctly, there were side effects to eating too many soldier food pills, right?
Cold Wind couldn't help but ask Shihei when they stopped to replenish their water.
Shihei was silent for a moment, then said, "Consuming a large amount of soldier food pills in a short period of time will indeed cause side effects. It's fine for men, but for women, it will accelerate aging."
Yui immediately spat out the soldier food pill in her mouth.
Although she was usually cold and indifferent, it didn't mean that she was indifferent to her appearance.
Shihei smiled silently and said, "Don't worry, ten soldier food pills. Even if you eat them at the same time, it won't affect your body too much."
Cold Wind and the other two sighed in relief.
After replenishing their supplies, the four of them set off again.
…
Five and a half hours later, the group of four finally approached their destination.
The sky in this area was gloomy, and the rain was floating in the air, as if it would turn into a rainstorm at any time.
It didn't take long for them to hear the roar of the flood coming from the front, like thousands of horses galloping!
After taking another soldier food pill, the group cautiously moved forward. They passed through the small forest and climbed over a small slope in front of them. Then, they saw a muddy river in front of them. The water was turbulent and muddy. There were broken branches, roots, scattered weeds, and some wooden furniture on the surface of the river. They couldn't see the situation under the water at all.
"Look over there!"
Shisui suddenly pointed to the small slope opposite the flood. There were many villagers who were soaked in the rain, and they were crying. In addition, there were several ninjas wearing Konoha's forehead protectors who were busy.
"It seems that we are not the first to arrive."
Cold Wind squinted and looked over, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, "It's Hyuga Tree's team!"
