Chapter 73

Natsuki and his teammates didn't dare to delay. They immediately picked up the pace and rushed toward the mission location.
"Whether or not Aoba-sensei will teach us a jutsu depends on how hard we work! Make sure to disguise yourselves well and don't get exposed!" Natsuki reminded them.

They were fired up. Victory was a must!
