After this incident, Tian Tian deliberately avoided Kirito for a few days. Kirito understood this point quite well. After all, she was still a young girl, no matter what the reason was, she would still care about it.
However, after a few days, Tian Tian's foot fully recovered, and this matter was wiped away. Tian Tian also returned to her original cheerful and carefree personality, and there was no awkward atmosphere when she greeted Kirito.
On the evening of the seventh day, Kirito and his team finally arrived at the city where the Daimyo's residence was located. Because it was already dark, it was not suitable to rush, so Guy decided to rest for the time being.
"Guy sensei, I said before that I have my own personal matters here." After a full meal, it was time to rest.
Guy heard this and said. "Oh, I heard you say that it's about finding rare metals, right?"
Lee was young and hot-blooded, and always had an inexhaustible energy. As soon as he heard that there was something to do, he immediately got up from the ground. "Tian Tian, do you need help?"
Tian Tian rolled her eyes at Lee. "You, this guy, it's good that you don't help."
"How can this be!" Lee was shocked.
Tian Tian waved her hand. "Forget it, Lee, this is not suitable for you, you're too clumsy ~"
Hearing this, Neji faintly said. "Since it's a small matter, you don't need my help.
I have to prepare for the handover with the Daimyo tomorrow. "
"Wait, Neji …" Guy pointed his finger at himself and blinked. "Isn't the handover usually done by the leader?"
"Humph ~" Neji glanced at the latter and didn't speak.
Tian Tian disdainfully said. "Other tasks don't matter, but this is a task issued by the Daimyo, Guy sensei shouldn't make Konoha lose face."
"Tian Tian!
How can you say that to Guy sensei! "Lee said with dissatisfaction.
"Shut up, Lee.
This is a task given to me by the Hokage. "Neji said coldly.
According to Guy's character and practice, the Hokage really has a reason to worry about what Guy will do, especially since this task was issued by Daimyo. If something happens, it will affect the trust of the Land of Fire in Konoha.
In the circle of Konoha's higher-ups, he's also very popular, and at the same time, he's also very trustworthy.
"How could this be?!
Is my credibility that low? "Guy slumped down on the ground, feeling a heavy blow.
However, Xiao Li, who was at the side, immediately rushed forward and gave the latter a comforting hug. "Don't worry, Teacher Kai!
Li will always believe in Teacher Kai! "
"Li!"
"Teacher Kai!"
The two of them hugged each other affectionately and cried loudly.
Ning Ji silently turned around and left.
Tian Tian also had a headache as she held her forehead. She put on her Ninja Tool Bag and yelled at Kirito, "Kirito, let's go."
"Yes."
They had already discussed this matter before they set off. In other words, this was the reason why Kirito's entourage was tasked with this task.
Not only because of Tian Tian's commission, but also because of the task issued by the system to collect rare metals.
The two walked out of the hotel together. This was the territory of a noble in the Land of Fire. The streets were not flourishing, and there was only a small hotel for merchants to rest in.
The rest was an endless field of manors, and there weren't many people.
The moon rose slightly in the night sky, and the stars dotted the night sky.
The two of them strolled through the grass like this.
It wasn't a leisurely stroll, but they weren't familiar with the environment here. They were walking according to the simple map obtained by the intelligence.
At this time, Tian Tian was still holding the simple map in her hand. Her brows sometimes wrinkled, sometimes loosened, and then she nodded. It seems that she has found the specific location of the target.
Kirito's gaze fell on Tian Tian's left foot. The hollowed-out ninja boots revealed her white foot. There was a bandage wrapped around it, but looking at how light her steps were, the injury should be fine.
This was to be expected. Although she was bitten by a poisonous snake, the real wound was only that small. Originally, injecting the antidote would be fine, but the syringe was broken by the clumsy Xiao Li, so Kirito could only suck the poison out with his mouth.
This was nothing, and it could be dealt with in an emergency. There weren't so many rules between ninjas.
"Uh …" Feeling Tian Tian, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped, Kirito looked up and saw the latter staring at him with a pair of big eyes.
It was obvious that the latter had also unintentionally noticed Kirito's gaze on her foot.
Kirito awkwardly waved his hand, indicating that it wasn't what she thought.
However, Tian Tian had already turned her head to the side, as if she didn't want to hear any explanation.
She didn't say anything, nor did she overreact. It was as if she didn't care, but if one looked carefully, they would notice that her ears were slightly red.
Just like this, the two of them walked in silence for a while.
"We're here."
He stopped in front of a thick patch of grass. There was nothing special about this place, it was just a patch of barren grass.
However, as Tian Tian squatted down and used her hand to push away the grass in front of her, they could see a deep and dark underground passage.
Kirito was also surprised, "This hidden place, I can't believe you could find it."
"Don't underestimate our intelligence agency."
Tian Tian snorted, and then took out two chakra sticks from the Summon Scroll and threw one to Kirito.
This thing was cold to the touch, and it was unknown whether it was made of metal or some other material. After a little chakra was injected, the palm-sized stick emitted a light green glow. It wasn't very bright, but it was enough to illuminate the darkness.
"Let's go." Tian Tian said, but she didn't move.
Looking at the latter's head turning to the side, Kirito was stunned for a moment, but then he understood something. He smiled and took the lead and walked in front.
"…" Tian Tian looked at Kirito walking in front of her and followed closely behind.
