"Um?"

Neji blinked, but he didn't expect Konohamaru to ask about Ino.

Neji had a close relationship with Ino very early on, so Ino definitely didn't have a close relationship with Konohamaru, and they basically only met a few times.

Although they were in the same village and were from the same famous family, this Konoha village was too big, and most of the ninjas who were not of the same period were acquaintances by chance.

So when Konohamaru, who thought he would have nothing to do with Ino, asked, Neji was a little bit surprised.

"Yes, the previous generation's Ino Shikacho, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Kaiichi were all students of your grandfather Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"And this generation of Ino Shikacho, Shikamaru, Chouji and Ino are the students of your uncle Sarutobi Asuma. This seems to be a tradition. When you grow up, you might be their child.

Where are the students?"

Neji laughed as he spoke. Of course, it was really just a joke.

Konohamaru's face suddenly turned red, and he suddenly realized that he was moving towards the future.

Although he is only a genin now, he will be upgraded to a chunin in the near future and then move towards the goal of being a jounin.

This village has always been passed down from generation to generation, and he finally found his way back in life and a stable position when the turmoil of the times was about to stabilize.

But he was startled again and said: "Hey, I almost forgot. If that's the case, then Captain Neji, you also know Uncle Asuma, right?"

Neji nodded: "Ah, of course."

"Asuma is a very good teacher~" Neji smiled, the gentleness on his face was obvious.

There was no cover-up. Whenever Neji thought of the first time he met Ino, Neji would have to think of those days when he and Asuma became master and disciple.

Although it didn't last long, it did leave a deep impression on Neji and was unforgettable.

But some things still become eternal regrets in Neji's heart.

As long as he was in Konoha, he would never let Asma become a pawn sacrificed by Konoha.

It's a pity... Urashiki's trick prevented him from making any impact on Konoha for two years. He could only be trapped in Konoha more than forty years ago, filling in the chaos caused by his appearance.

Village history.

When I came back, everything had changed.

"Captain Neji?"

Konohamaru's voice sounded, and Neji felt a little dull.

"Uh...what's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Ah, no, I'm just thinking about my future tasks."

"Oh... let me ask you, do you really think Uncle Asma is an excellent teacher?"

"Well, of course!"

Neji also quickly made peace, not wanting to dig deeper, but Konohamaru just fell into deep thought and didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them continued to move quickly through the forest, each of them silent. No more words were spoken.

After a while, Konohamaru spoke first.

"What exactly is the content of this mission? Why is it a super S-class secret mission? It sounds like it should be serious. Why are there only two of us?"

There was great doubt in Konohamaru's big eyes.

Neji chuckled and explained: "Of course, precisely because the matter is very serious, the fewer people who know about it, the better."

"Our destination is Iwagakure Village, and the current route is to the Earth Kingdom. Fortunately, it is spring, the road will not be too difficult, but it is a long way, so we can ensure our own safety and we are not in a hurry."

Neji was giving some tedious instructions, and Konohamaru was indeed tired of hearing them.

So he immediately interrupted: "I know this! So... what is the purpose of our mission?"

"The purpose of the mission?"

It was the first time for Neji to bring a student out to perform such an important task, so naturally he seemed a little clumsy.

"The purpose of the mission is to send an envoy to Iwagakure Village as an envoy for negotiations. But this time it seems to be a friendly establishment of diplomatic relations... But before that, the content of the establishment of diplomatic relations has been sent to Iwagakure Village. The mission

Most of the content is carried out by me, and your mission is to accompany and protect the envoy."

Neji dealt with it easily. After all, this kind of argument should have been prepared from the beginning.

However, Konohamaru smiled softly and said, "Haha, don't lie. I still understand these common senses. I'm just the genin who was brought over to prove the sincerity of Konoha, right?"

"Well?"

Konohamaru's realization made Neji a little stunned.

Konohamaru said: "What Brother Naruto doesn't know, I don't necessarily know either!"

"In short, I'm ready, Captain Neji, don't worry! I will definitely... not hold you back. The content of this kind of mission is easy, and if you need more help, I will definitely bring Hinata Hanabi

Yes, isn't it?"

Konohamaru stunned Neji.

Unexpectedly, Kazuo was really very attentive and thought more than the average genin.

He has the air of a future king.

Neci said: "Haha, don't think so, I brought you here specifically because I liked you."

"Hey! I don't believe it!" Konohamaru pouted.

"You just wanted me to stop causing trouble, so you deceived me, right? Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking..." Konohamaru complained.

Neji could only smile helplessly and said: "No, not really. You can perform as much as you want on this mission, as long as you follow the instructions."

"I hope so~"

…

The two walked together, traveling at the fastest speed for a day, and finally walked more than half the distance.

Finally, the two stopped by a stream, surrounded by a relatively vast plain, and basically did not have to worry about attacks by ferocious tigers and leopards.

Looking at the sunset on the horizon, Neji exhaled.

"It's much better than I expected. It took less than a day to walk the normal distance. The mountain road after that may be a little bumpy, but we should be able to reach Iwagakure Village smoothly the day after tomorrow, right?"

Neji breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.

Konohamaru already had his hands on his hips and was extremely tired.

"Hoo, ho, ho..."

He gasped for air and raised his head, already looking resentful.

"Really, you really don't take care of your team members at all! It's easy for you, but I'm almost exhausted! This speed..."

Konohamaru almost wanted to lie back. Now he finally understood why Neji had the confidence to treat him with one finger.

This guy is indeed a person who hides his secrets!

Neji was also a little embarrassed. This was considered a lack of consideration on his part.

"Haha, it's okay. Young people should exercise more! It's getting late..."

Neji said, walked forward, took some water from the stream, and washed his face.
Chapter completed!
