A clear, youthful voice rang in You Nu Zhiwei's ears. She looked up and saw a handsome young man with short black hair, carrying a short sword on his back.
Shisui was short and looked thin. He didn't exude any ninja aura. His gentle and sincere smile made Aburame Shiki feel a strong liking for the boy at first sight.
"Oh!"
"Zhishui! I'll call you that from now on. We'll be comrades and teammates in the future, so let's address each other more affectionately."
"I am Zhiwei, the oil girl. You don't need to call me Captain, just call me Brother Zhiwei."
Aburame Shiki was able to become one of Minato's closest friends, so her personality naturally wouldn't be the kind that's mean or mean.
Although it was their first meeting, a few words quickly bridged the gap between them. Shisui, being perceptive, knew from the brief conversation that his captain was the easy-going type, and smiled and nodded in response.
"Brother Zhiwei, please take care of me in the future."
After exchanging brief greetings, the two seemed to sense something and both looked toward the forest path not far away.
"Such a massive amount of chakra..."
Shisui murmured softly, and Aburame Shii nodded silently beside her. The parasitic insect that had been perched on her shoulder flew up uneasily and circled around Aburame Shii rapidly.
A moment later, the two saw a young boy dressed in training clothes slowly walk out of the woods and stroll toward the clearing where they were.
Their deep blue eyes met those of the others, revealing a complex mix of emotions.
Shinichi Hyuga glanced at his two teammates who had already arrived and, with renewed vigor, walked toward them.
Becoming Shisui Uchiha's teammate did make Shinichi uneasy for a time, but he quickly came to terms with it.
They're just teammates; their relationship is superficial and nothing to worry about.
Even if I were to take a step back and assume that I had indeed developed a deep friendship with Shisui, given Shisui's character, he would naturally not lay a hand on a close friend.
That's enough!
If external danger could cost him his life, then his teammates, whether or not they were Uchiha Shisui, would all be the same. From this perspective, having Uchiha Shisui as a teammate is actually a good thing, because Shinichi understands that Shisui is not a useless teammate.
They've changed team members and formed a new group, but they don't know the quality or background of their teammates.
Ultimately, it all comes down to whether you're strong enough and have a tough life.
Those who are hesitant and indecisive will never grow into true strong individuals.
"Is that Shinichi Hyuga?"
"She really is as young as the rumors say."
"Hello, I am Shiki Aburame, and this is Shisui Uchiha."
"It's a pleasure to be your partner."
As Shinichi approached, Aburame Shiki warmly put his arm around Shinichi's shoulder and introduced them with a smile. He did not treat Shinichi and Shisui as children at all, and his attitude in the conversation was equal.
"Hello, Captain."
"Hello, Brother Zhishui."
Shinichi bowed slightly to the two of them, a smile on his face. He had a very good first impression of them, and their friendliness made him feel comfortable.
Before Shinichi, Shisui, and Shinobu could finish their conversation, a strange cry suddenly came from the sky.
The next instant, a gust of wind swept in from the sky, and a figure fell rapidly along with it.
"Konoha's Azure Beast - Might Guy!"
"Here I am!!!"
.......................
Chapter 49: Methods to Get to Know Each Other!
Might Guy landed on the open ground in front of them, and a strong wind swept out, even making Shinichi squint his eyes for a moment.
Appearing before everyone at this moment was a young man with a watermelon-shaped haircut and thick eyebrows, wearing a green bodysuit. His kappa-like attire caused Shinichi Hyuga, who was seeing Might Guy for the first time, to twitch slightly at the corner of his eye.
"Yo!"
Good morning, my new friends!!!
Suddenly, Might Guy gave a thumbs-up, grinned, and flashed a warm smile at the group. His gleaming teeth even made Shinichi think that this guy was the spokesperson for some toothpaste commercial.
This over-the-top entrance, brimming with chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), also gave Shinichi a familiar feeling from Might Guy.
Hmm... it's definitely Might Guy!
"Y-you...hello, Matt Kai."
Clearly, Uchiha Shisui was also dazzled by Guy's entrance, and even stammered a bit when he spoke.
Aburame Shiki, on the other hand, seemed to have anticipated this, scratched her head, walked over to Kai's side, and patted Kai's shoulder affectionately.
Although Might Guy's appearance was full of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) vibes and gave the impression of a rough and rugged person, in reality, Might Guy had already secretly observed Shinichi and Uchiha Shisui during his self-introduction.
As a ninja, one may be able to conceal one's aura well, but the traces of training cannot be hidden.
Even young Shinichi had calluses on his hands, as did Shisui.
"Alright, now everyone in our team is here."
"This is Matt Kay, and I think you've already heard his self-introduction."
“Kai, this is Chunin Uchiha Shisui, and this is Special Jonin Hyuga Shinichi.”
Once the squad had assembled, Shionome, holding Shinichi's hand in one hand and Shisui's in the other, introduced them to Kai. He and Kai already knew each other, so it saved him the trouble of introducing himself.
"Please give me your guidance!!"
Facing Shinichi and Shisui, who were much younger than him, Kai didn't act like an "adult" at all.
After saying that, he even squatted down and said to Shinichi, "Shinichi Hyuga, I've heard of you!"
"I heard you defeated Kakashi, well done!!"
Shinichi's name is quite well-known in the Konoha ninja circle. After all, he rose to power by stepping over Kakashi, so Might Guy would naturally have heard of him.
It was clear that Kai was gloating when he said that, befitting Kakashi's "rival".
"It was Kakashi-senpai who gave it to me."
Shinichi was very modest. He didn't think Kakashi had gone all out at the time; he just underestimated his opponent and was defeated by luck.
"Haha, that's because you're strong enough."
Kai patted Shinichi on the shoulder heavily and laughed loudly.
At the same time, Yu Nu Zhiwei clapped her hands, bringing the topic back on track:
"I've gathered everyone here because there's something important to discuss. Let's talk about casual conversation later."
As they spoke, the attention of the other three was also drawn to Aburame Shiki.
"Our team is newly formed, and we shouldn't be assigned any important missions in the short term."
"But that doesn't mean we can relax."
“Every time a ninja goes on a mission, they are walking on the edge of life and death, so they must never let their guard down.”
"Therefore, before the mission was assigned, I hoped that our team could work together successfully, but we did not have a certain understanding and tacit understanding with each other."
"Only in this way will we have a greater chance of surviving in future missions."
A serious remark cooled down the warm atmosphere of their first meeting.
After glancing at everyone, Aburame Shiki spoke:
"Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Aburame Shiki, and I am the insect controller of the Aburame clan."
"His strengths lie in perception and intelligence gathering, and his combat style mainly relies on controlling insects."
Ayumi Shiki gave a brief self-introduction again, glancing at Kai, whom she knew well. Kai understood and nodded silently, continuing:
"Might Guy's forte is close-quarters combat!"
Kai's self-introduction was brief, and Shisui, who followed him, naturally understood his two companions' intentions. His eyes suddenly transformed into two-tomoe Sharingan, and he spoke:
"My Sharingan has been awakened, and I am skilled in reconnaissance, genjutsu, fire release, and shurikenjutsu."
"As for the fighting style... it's probably mid-to-long range."
Shisui is very well-rounded, with good skills in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, making him the most ninja-like among them.
After that, everyone's gaze focused on Shinichi. Compared to Shisui's all-around abilities, Shinichi didn't have as many impressive skills:
"Byakugan, Gentle Fist, and Flying Thunder God Technique."
"This is probably my main source of combat power."
As Shinichi spoke, he silently took stock of what he had mastered and realized that there were only a few things worth mentioning.
However, upon hearing about the Flying Thunder God Technique, the way the others looked at Shinichi changed slightly.
Shisui was greatly surprised and glanced at Shinichi a few more times, finally understanding why such a young child was a special Jonin; Aburame Shii already knew this information, but her eyes lit up when she heard Shinichi admit it himself; while Might Guy was completely stunned.
"Flying... Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"Is it the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Fourth Hokage?"
