Chapter 121: All villains (Part 2)

"Why do I feel something is wrong? Is our speed the only speed that the Ninja Task Force can move at?"

Not long after leaving the camp, Jiraiya quickly discovered the problem and raised questions. In his impression, ninjas on missions would run as fast as they could, but Hanyu led them forward at a leisurely pace, not much faster than a wheelchair.

This makes them look less like serious ninjas and more like elementary school students on a field trip.

But in reality, they are not like primary school students on a field trip; they are just primary school students on a field trip.

"Do you know what a mopping-up mission is? A so-called mopping-up mission means wandering around in enemy territory. If you find an enemy, you kill him. If you don't find an enemy, you just keep wandering around like this." Hanyu explained without any sincerity in his tone.

Although the Third Hokage agreed to send his young disciples to the battlefield, Hanyu knew that he would never bring the three to the heart of the Rain Country where the fighting was most intense.

"But the problem is... we are still in River Country, and we haven't reached the enemy territory yet." Jiraiya was about to nod, but immediately realized that something was still wrong.

"How come it's not an enemy territory? Can you guarantee that there won't be any enemies infiltrating into the Land of Rivers? You have to know that not long ago this was a battleground between Sunagakure and Konoha.

Ninjas must always be vigilant, Jiraiya, every step you take is enemy territory." Hanyu's tone was serious, although this could not hide the fact that he was still fooling people.

"We need to take this opportunity to adapt to the rhythm of the battlefield. Moreover, as a new team, we also need to confirm the team's secret code during this period of travel. Have you all memorized it?"

Hearing this, Orochimaru couldn't help rolling his eyes. He could see that Hanyu was just coaxing a child.

"I'll ask, you answer... Earlier we determined how to ask for help from teammates around us when we encounter the most urgent and dangerous situation."

"I know, I'll answer!" Jiraiya raised his hand, eager to try.

"Shut up," Hanyu said without mercy to the enthusiastic child. Instead, he pointed at Orochimaru and said, "Orochimaru, you answer."

He could see that this guy had an expression of seeing through everything from the beginning. This attitude of being nonchalant, intoxicated, and looking down on the common people must be corrected.

Orochimaru was silent for a while before he said, "Do I have to answer?"

"Yes, what's the problem, don't you remember it?"

"No... I remember it very clearly." Actually, Orochimaru had a question, but since he fell into the hands of Captain Hanyu, he had to answer this very formal, serious and important question, so he could only say, "Crackle crackle, ba ba ba ba."

The melody of this secret code is very beautiful and not out of tune.

"That's right." Hanyu couldn't help but praise.

However, Orochimaru, who received the praise, wanted to die very much at this time. He made up his mind that he would try his best to avoid sending such a stupid signal next time.

After this confrontation, Orochimaru became completely obedient. He didn't even dare to roll his eyes at Hanyu... This guy seemed a little narrow-minded and held a grudge.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you something... Although you have learned a lot from the Third Hokage, I'm sure he didn't tell you what the only criteria for judging a successful ninja is." Hanyu continued chatting with them.

"What is it... Is it strength?" Jiraiya said. He was really a good supporting actor, not so scheming... He was really a little curious, is there a single evaluation standard for ninjas?

Hanyu shook his head. "No, or it's not comprehensive. A successful ninja should be a ninja with both moral integrity and artistic excellence. A ninja with both moral integrity and artistic excellence, who can win over talents with his virtue, is a good ninja."

"…"

Everyone looked at each other.

It sounds like bullshit, but it doesn't just sound like bullshit.

"Hanyu, these are two standards." Tsunade said. Regardless of whether Hanyu's statement is right or not, it is obvious that his statement on this issue is not rigorous.

"It is a standard. Only when you have both moral integrity and artistic excellence can you convince others with your virtue. If you don't convince others with your virtue, how can you demonstrate your both moral integrity and artistic excellence? They are two sides of the same coin."

Hanyu's personal class is very targeted. The professional skills of the "Three Sannin" as ninjas are beyond doubt, and each of them is very strong, but their personalities are all terrible. Tsunade is a piece of dirt, Jiraiya is a social demon, and Orochimaru is a standard lunatic.

Facts have proved that even if a person becomes a scumbag in the future, it does not prevent them from being cute when they were a child.

While Hanyu was chatting, he kept observing the reactions of the others. Jiraiya and Tsunade kept talking, but Orochimaru became completely quiet. He even took out a notebook and a pen, glanced at Jiraiya while walking, and then wrote a few words in his notebook.

"The child's personality is unstable. He has a strong desire to express himself and is eager to be recognized by older people and the opposite sex of the same age. He will say things that he does not understand and do things that are beyond his ability. This shows that his emotional expression seriously overrides his rational expression.

In order to attract the attention of the opposite sex, he sometimes starts to jump, which is very similar to the courtship characteristics of even-toed ungulates that I observed before. It can even be said that his behavior is not as regular as that of even-toed ungulates, which shows the complexity of human beings.

Of course, this may be related to the special sample I observed. Different observation objects should produce different results. The sample I selected is not generally representative. After all... I firmly believe that human intelligence should be superior to that of even-toed ungulates. "

Using his height advantage, Hanyu was able to catch a glimpse of what Orochimaru was writing, this research notebook…Anyway, Hanyu began to feel sorry for Jiraiya, who would have thought that in Orochimaru's eyes he was already below even-toed ungulates.

Studying humans and snakes was Orochimaru's hobby at the time... To be more precise, he developed this hobby after Orochimaru's parents passed away and the Third Hokage explained to him the symbolism of snakes.

The research results are worthy of recognition, but the subjects of the research are very sad.

Before they knew it, half a day had passed. Under normal circumstances, Hanyu and his three companions should have been in the Land of Rain by now. However, due to their slow pace, the team had not even left the Land of Rivers.

Hanyu was very clear in his mind that this was not a serious combat mission like his previous ones, so apart from the necessary vigilance, he was actually a little relaxed.

Even at this time, he decided to stop and rest so that everyone could replenish food and water.

"We are... really too slow, aren't we?"

Jiraiya, trying to prove his intelligence.

"Well, this is our last break. Now we are close to the border of the Rain Country. We will definitely speed up after the rest. After entering the Rain Country, it will not be so easy anymore." Hanyu said. He could choose to delay, but he could not over-consume the young man's patience.

He knows what it means to backfire.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Jiraiya immediately stopped complaining and no longer cared about his turtle-like pace.

"Children are easily deceived. They don't even understand what it means to change one thing in one day and another in another." Seeing this, Orochimaru added this sentence in his notes.

The four of them stopped in the woods, each found a suitable place to lean or sit, then took out food from their backpacks to replenish their energy... They all brought cold rice balls, so it was not the time to enjoy the top-notch gourmet food for the time being.
