When Cheng Tianben saw that the person who asked the question was Mikoto, his eyes flashed with surprise, but he immediately replied:
"Ten days."
Hearing this, Mikoto nodded, she didn't care about the many surprised eyes around her.
For her, vacation doesn't mean rest, but the beginning of more rigorous training. In the past, Mikoto didn't hate or yearn for this kind of training.
But after the Shinobi Trial, she really hoped for this kind of training. Although it's good to spend time with Shinna Kushina in the Ninja Academy, for her to improve her strength, such an environment will slow down her growth.
No one was cheering for this sudden 10-day holiday. Everyone had a heavy expression on their faces.
Only Watergate narrowed his eyes, ten days, if everything goes well, the Tang no Guk mission will probably be completed around this time.
Although there is no exact information, Kuriyama Shinzo himself knows that as a traitor of Wood Leaf village, the village naturally won't let him go easily, so even with Kumo Shinobu's protection, he doesn't dare to stay too long at the border of the Land of Fire.
He was in charge of intelligence work in Wood Leaf village, so he probably won't be naive enough to think that Wood Leaf can't detect his whereabouts at all.
But what made him take such a big risk, he didn't hesitate to enter Kumo Shinobu alone and return to the border of the Land of Fire to take the risk, what is it?
Is it an important document or something related to the Land of Fire or Wood Leaf village?
In any case, Watergate won't be lenient with this kind of scum who betrays his own people, but then again, even he can't kill Kuriyama Shinzo.
He's also a Tokubetsu Jonin, even if his strength is slightly inferior to a Jonin, he can't be underestimated.
Even Watergate didn't understand why Sandaime-sama asked him and Uchiha Yan to participate in such a mission.
Is it also part of the test?
"It seems that everyone has their own awareness, very good, then I'm looking forward to seeing you in ten days."
Cheng Tianben didn't say much, after laughing, he left the classroom.
The students in the classroom gradually dispersed, but Minato, Kushina, and Mikoto were still sitting there without moving.
"Well, let's go." After a moment of silence, Watergate walked to their seats and smiled gently.
Mikoto nodded, tidied up her things, put them in the drawer of the desk, and got up. Kushina looked a little reluctant, but she also got up.
The three of them walked out of the classroom. The corridor was about three to four people wide, so it was a little crowded when the three of them walked side by side.
Watergate walked in front, Shinna Kushina, and Mikoto walked side by side by side.
This was the first time that Shinna Kushina seriously observed Watergate from behind, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
The road wasn't long, and soon the three arrived at the entrance of the ninja school. Because there was no notice, there were only a few people in front of the gate, but the girl who usually came to pick up Shinna Kushina seemed to be waiting there early.
However, Watergate found that the Anbu who always followed Shinna Kushina didn't disappear, but the number of people seemed to have decreased.
When they arrived at the gate, the three stopped, Shinna Kushina hung her head, seemingly unwilling to step out. Watergate's mood was also complicated at this time, and he didn't know what to say.
"Then, see you in ten days." Mikoto also noticed the atmosphere, and waved to the two and left.
.....
The two stood at the gate, and no one knew what to say, and the girl who came to pick up Shinna Kushina also stood in the distance, and didn't come forward.
"Ten days of vacation, what are you going to do?" Shinna Kushina was the first to break the silence, and asked with a chuckle.
Hearing this, Watergate's blue eyes flickered slightly, he didn't want to lie to Shinna Kushina, but he didn't want to make her worry.
Not to mention that this Tang no Guk mission is confidential, and he is likely to encounter real ninjas, and it will be a life and death battle, not like the previous trial.
"Of course, I'm going to practice, last time I was almost driven to desperation by Uchiha Yan, I can't let him catch up so easily."
He scratched his hair subconsciously, and at the same time, looked at Shinna Kushina with a hint of panic in his eyes.
Watergate, who can remain indifferent in most situations, can't do that in front of Shinna Kushina.
"Is that so."
Shinna Kushina said, she didn't seem to notice Watergate's expression just now, and then she stared at him and said, "Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do in these ten days?"
Watergate was a little surprised when he heard this, everything about Shinna Kushina is confidential, and he is not qualified to know, so he never intended to ask.
However, being asked by Shinna Kushina like this, he was a little overwhelmed.
Of course, there are some things that Shinna Kushina doesn't know, so her expression began to become a little disappointed.
At this time, Watergate was unusually aware of Shinna Kushina's disappointment.
Immediately, he smiled gently at Shinna Kushina and said, "Although I won't ask you what you're going to do, at least I know that you are in Wood Leaf Village, as long as I know that you are safe and happy, that's enough."
Today, he didn't see the usual disappointment in Shinna Kushina's eyes, although he didn't know the specifics, Watergate was happy for it.
Shinna Kushina was slightly stunned, then made a very boyish expression, grinned, and said, "Well, I haven't given up on my dream, you have to be careful, don't be surpassed by me."
Her words had a strange ending, Watergate smiled, he still remembered that on the first day of school, they explained their dreams to each other.
Naruto.
"Don't worry, I will become Naruto, and I will protect the whole Wood Leaf Village and you!" Watergate also smiled heartily.
"Who will become Naruto, who will protect who, it's not certain."
Shinna Kushina curled her lips, then blushed, ran towards the woman who was waiting for her, and waved goodbye to Watergate.
Standing in the same place, looking at Shinna Kushina with a smile on her face, his complicated mood calmed down.
The mission of the Tang No Guk is full of danger, but the burden on his body is no longer his own.
Therefore, he must not fail, he must come back alive, he must become Naruto, he must fulfill his promise!
...
At the same time, Mikoto also trotted back to the village, it's just past noon, she still has a lot of time to practice.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a ninja with a mask appeared in front of her, Mikoto instantly stopped.
Anbu.
The Anbu looked at Mikoto and said.
"You are Uchiha Mikoto, right?
Come with me, Naruto -sama has something to talk to you about. "
