Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Entering the War Zone, Something’s Up Takuya glanced at Minato and Nawaki and casually asked. The two, lacking the energy to dig out tree holes, were resting under a rock. Hearing Takuya's question, Minato opened his eyes and frustratedly ran his hand through his increasingly long hair. "It's tough... As expected of a forbidden jutsu developed by the Second Hokage. I haven't made much progress yet; I need to learn sealing techniques first." "Flying Thunder God Technique isn't something just anyone can learn," Nawaki said, proudly lifting his chin. Minato was speechless. "Have you learned it?" "Uh..." Nawaki was immediately flustered. Why did you have to ask that? Weren't we talking about the Flying Thunder God Technique? How did this turn into whether I've learned it or not? After a few seconds, Nawaki's face slowly turned red. He seemed to recall his own painful experience attempting to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he grabbed Minato by the collar, shaking him violently. "You idiot, we were talking about your Flying Thunder God Technique! Why are you bringing me into this?" Hahaha... Takuya nearly laughed himself silly. "Nawaki did try to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his family even has the Second Hokage's notes. Unfortunately, he couldn't manage it; he couldn't even get past the sealing techniques part." This wasn't Takuya slandering him-Tsunade had said it herself. When she talked about it, she couldn't hide her disappointment in her brother, Nawaki. She had told him repeatedly that he wasn't cut out for it, but he didn't believe her. He insisted on trying, and now he was thoroughly discouraged. "Sigh... Are we really okay with this mission?" Kouta Sasaro sighed as he listened to Takuya, Minato, and Nawaki chatting and laughing. He felt like he'd boarded a pirate ship. This captain isn't reliable, and neither are his team members. Can we really deliver these supplies safely to the front lines? Akizuki Yama shook his head slightly, smiling bitterly. "I don't know, but since Danzo-sama trusts the captain, we should trust him too. Let's get some rest; we've had a long day." I'm so frustrated, I just want to run back and complain!! Shimura Suimoku, who hadn't joined the other two, looked even more agitated. He felt like Takuya and his team had no common sense at all. Following such a captain, who knows what terrible things might happen next? It's so hard to be stuck with a leader like this. Regardless of what the others thought, Takuya and his team acted like they always did. They chatted when they wanted to, rested when they wanted to, and Takuya couldn't even be bothered to go out in the rain and set traps. The night passed without incident, and they made it through the first night safely. Takuya's team was well-rested, but the other three squads were not. The barriers to learning the Flying Thunder God Technique were just too high. Thankfully, he had enough self-awareness not to attempt it himself. Otherwise, he might have ended up like Minato, constantly obsessing over how to master sealing techniques, nearly driving himself crazy. Listening to you guys makes me even more anxious. Yama and Sasaro exchanged glances, both seeing the resignation in the other's eyes. Unfortunately, they weren't the ones in charge, so all they could do was follow orders. How things would proceed was entirely up to Takuya. "Master, someone's watching from the left front," Snowy reported. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Traveling through enemy territory, being watched was almost inevitable. "Keep an eye on them," Takuya instructed calmly. The convoy continued to move steadily forward, and they passed the entire day without incident, aside from encountering scouts. "Looks like this mission might go smoothly after all," Nawaki said, drying his clothes by the fire and inching closer for warmth. Pushing carts in the rain was no easy task. Even with raincoats, not a single part of him was dry. "I'm not so sure about that," Minato replied, roasting some meat patties from the camp supplies, casting a glance at the silent Takuya. His instincts told him that tonight wouldn't be peaceful. Normally, if everything were fine, Takuya would have had them go hunting for some fresh meat to warm up. But today, Takuya seemed unusually quiet. It looked like there was a fight coming. Sighing, Nawaki quickly put his clothes back on, ignoring the steam still rising from them, and went to inform the other squads. "Senpai Sasaro, Senpai Yama, Senpai Suimoku, it looks like we might be in for a fight tonight. Be prepared." "Are enemies approaching?" Sasaro, Yama, and Suimoku exclaimed in surprise. *********** Note: If you're interested, you can read up to chapter 190+ at patreon.com/Emiko1.
