Xin lied without batting an eye.
Completely unaware, the little ray of sunshine was touched. He believed Xin had come to find him out of concern for his safety.
"Alright, let's go help push the carts. We need to hurry."
"Okay."
Minato nodded and stepped forward to help.
But just as he raised his hand, he realized something. He turned back to look at Xin, who was standing there with a serious expression.
Wait, did he come specifically to get me to help push the carts?
Is it just my imagination?
Something doesn't seem right.
Looking at Xin's flawless expression, Minato thought for a moment and decided he might be overthinking it. Xin wouldn't do something like that.
So he relaxed and went to help push the carts.
Whether it was day or night, the weather in the Land of Rain was always rainy, just like Nawaki complained. There were hardly any good weather days in a year.
In the rainy night, a Rain Village ninja had camouflaged himself, hiding in a tree, watching the muddy road in the distance.
The Rain Village ninja didn't notice a white blur approaching him from behind at lightning speed.
The white blur got close, revealing sharp knife that slashed at the back of his neck.
"Ugh..."
The back of his neck felt cold and numb. Before his brain could process what had happened, the Rain Village ninja found himself losing control of his body as he fell from the tree.
I'm under attack?
That was the last thought in his mind before he died.
Mission accomplished.
As long as she, Ophis, am here, no one can spy on to Xin.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Ophis proudly lifted its head.
With Ophis returning, it meant the enemies had been dealt with.
Xin felt the journey had been pretty smooth overall. Having an overpowered advantage definitely felt good.
Aside from Xin, Minato and Nawaki also felt relaxed. But the others were feeling a bit conflicted, looking at Xin with strange expressions.
At this moment, they weren't sure if going on a mission with Xin was a good thing or a bad thing.
The idea of filing a complaint yesterday had vanished from their minds.
The uncomfortable part was that while Xin seemed irresponsible, everything was under control, and the supplies were safely delivered to the front lines.
But when he was responsible, he was always slacking off. They had never seen such a laid- back leader.
When enemies appeared, he would step in to intercept and deal with them.
When there were no enemies, you could point out countless flaws in his approach-he didn't seem like a dedicated ninja at all.
Lighting a fire during a mission, refusing to eat dry rations, insisting on eating grilled meat, not setting traps, not checking the surrounding area before calling it a night.
