Chapter 49 - New Side Quest

It has been 3 days since We decided to take Nagato and his little friends with us. They were quiet and afraid at first, but after spending time with us, they gradually opened up to us, especially to Kimiko.

Kimiko was a very kind girl, so it didn't take a long time for her to interact with them and become a big sister figure of theirs. Sometimes Kimiko communicates with them long enough to make Kitsuchi so jealousy and regret his decision to take them with us.

Except for Kitscuhi, everyone else used to the three kids' presence and became good terms with kids. I didn't forget to propaganda Iwagakure to kids whenever we had a break, particularly to Yahiko.

I believe that Yahiko has a similar personality as Nawaki or Naruto. I can feel that he gives out this kind of main character vibes. If he becomes Iwa shinobi, his talk no jutsu will become more fearsome than Kento(Ex Iwa Defence Division Head)'s the will of stone talk no jutsu.

There were still no signs of Konoha pursuers chasing us, even until now. For this matter, I really am thankful to Tonja though, I am afraid he is already dead by now.

While I was grateful to Tonja, Gin and Kan approached to me. They told me an unexpected problem occurred.

"Genji, we are running out of food. Taking the Land of Rain route was unexpected, and with three new mouths to feed, our rations are almost empty.

Also, since it's raining all day, it is very difficult to find or even hunt wild animals." Gin reported to me.

Food deficiency is a huge problem. It will take at least more than 1 week to traverse the Iwa border. And like Gin said, it was rare to spot a wild animal in Land of Rain.

"So what's your solution?" I asked Gin and Kan.

"Well, according to the map, there is a mediums size village, 3km ahead of us. We go down there and steal food or money to secure our food." Kan suggested.

"That sounds great at first, but since we are in the war, there won't be much of rich people in the village. Even if there are, I am sure they hired several shinobi to protect themselves. You guys know well that I want to avoid a dispute with other Shinobi, especially in a crowded place like the village." I told them.

"Then, what do you advise we should do?" Kan asked.

I smiled and asked them with a happy tone.

"I know we don't have money now, but we can earn it. Do you have anything on you that can earn cash?"

Gin and Kan straight said no. But they gave a wrong answer. I quickly dashed at them and put Kunai on their necks.

"Fuckers, don't lie!!! I remember very well that Gari gave you two, 'super-premium top 3rd ranking; 'hard to get' ero Iwa female shinobi picture book' when we were in the Iwa Defence force in Suna!!!

Now either you guys hand over that book or I take your undėrwėȧr to sell!!!" I threatened them with a dangerous tone.

Gin and Kan were shocked at the turn of the event. At first, they were willing to give up their undies to keep the 'precious' book.

"Fuck you, can't you understand what I am implying? Who needs your smelly undies!! Give me your damn book now!!"

In the end, I fȯrċɨbŀƴ took the book from them.

"Alright, you idiots stay here and wait for my return. In case of emergency, retreat to Point A. We will regroup there if you guys are not here.

Also, don't let the kids see Hyuga, or I will kill you all." I ordered them and headed to the village to sell the 'super-premium' book.

When I was out of their sight, I stopped my movement and started admiring how beautiful Iwa female shinobi were.

----------------

'System, copy this 'Ultimate premium' book to your database now. This is some serious shit. Iwa girls are so sėxy, I don't have to worry about my future wife beauty, hehehe.'

After telling the system to copy the book, I continued to the way to the village.

It didn't take long for me to reach. I transformed into some random dude and entered the village. There were no guards at the gate which made it easy for me to enter.

I first went to a magazine store to see if they were willing to buy the 'ultimate-premium' book.

"Hello, Do you want to buy a book, full of sėxy Iwa female pictures?"

I was instantly got kicked out of the shop, as the shop owner hates Iwa. Stupid idiot believes that we are the reason for this war. Bastard kicked me so hard that I almost break off my transformation.

I didn't give up and tried several shops.

"Hello, I have this amazing sėxy girls' pictures..."

I got kicked out again. This time, the shop owner was female. Bad luck, try the next one.

"Greetings, this book includes ultra-sexy female photos. Are you interested in buying..."

This time, I was the one who went out of volunteering. This shop owner was gay!!! I didn't give up and tried the next store.

"Good afternoon, as fellow man, you must be interested in sėxy nice figure woman, aren't ya?...."

'Motherfu*kers!! What's wrong with these villagers!! How come none of them are interested in such a holy sėxy book!! This is a limited edition Book!!! Are they all out of mind or something?'

While I was giving a series of cursing in my head, an unknown being slowly walked up to me.

"Hello there, I am just a stranger who was in the magazine store and happened to hear the talks between you and the manager.

Well, I am very interested in buying your book. Could you consider selling it to me?"

I heard the voice behind me and looked back at who it is. Then literally my eyes popped out of its socket due to shock. It was freaking Jiraiya who approached me.

'What!!! It's Jiraiya, it is really Jiraiya!!!! Holy fuċk, why is he here?

Does that mean Tsunade is also here or what?

Also did my eyes really popped out just now? What the fuċk?'

"You don't have to that grateful to me. I am just purely interested in your book, that's all." Seeing my surprised face, Jiraiya thought I was very grateful to him for buying it.

"Ok, since mister wants the book, I will give you a discount. Just hand out 300k ryo and the book is yours."

"What? 300k ryo? Do I look like the person who has that much money? Come on, if you are this stingy, no one will buy from you."

'Please, I know you are filthy rich!! Your ero book which came out last year is becoming sensational. Just be grateful I am not asking much.'

"Mister, this book contains every sėxy Iwa female shinobi pictures!! This is basically a sėxy female figure encyclopedia!! Now you think 300k ryo is too much?"

"What? Every sėxy Iwa female?!!! Damn it. Okay, I will buy it."

Just a few simple words and Jiraiya bought it. He summoned the money from the scroll and gave it to me.

'As expected of super pervert. He will buy anything that is sėxy. hehe.'

Jiraiya was already in the world of his pervert imagination after looking at the first page of the book.

"Thanks for doing business, mister. Then I will be going now." I shook hands with Jiraiya and walked away. I didn't want to stay long with this guy. He may be a pervert, but he is smart and quick.

But as I was about to go, I heard the system's voice.

System: "Host has triggered side quest by encountering Jiraiya.

*Quest: From 2 days now, Jiraiya and his team will confront with Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure at north 30km away from here. Please observe the battle between Kage-level summonings until the end.

Reward: Eagle Summoning contract (Has sage arts)

Failure: lose 300k ryo*"

Normally, I wouldn't do the side quest while I am on the run. But the reward for this quest is perhaps the most useful reward, I ever saw.

Freaking Eagle Summoning Contract, also has sage art!!!

I can use them during combat, for transportation, for transmitting intel, for scouting, etc. There are literally 1000 benefits.

The problem was escaping after the end of the battle. But a few seconds later, I remembered the pill, I got it as a reward from observing the battle between Uncle Masashi and Mask against Kazekage. That pill that can erase my whole presence for 5 minutes. ( Not even sensors or Kage-level shinobi can't detect.)

That pill just solved all of my problems for this side quest. Even if I fail somehow, I can always escape using the pill and Earth Travel jutsu!!

---------------------

I bought rations at the village, enough for my squad and kids to hold for 5 days. I returned back to them safely. There wasn't an emergency, so they were still in the same place, waiting for me.

I gathered Gari and my squad and told them to go ahead without me.

"Listen, guys. I am going out to get a bird summoning. If it is successful, we can instantly travel to Iwagakure by riding on a huge bird, without worrying about Konoha pursuers or Amegakure shinobi. I will be safe even if I fail to get the summoning, so don't worry.

Just go ahead without me first. I will at most out for 4 days and catch up with you guys."

Of course, the squad didn't agree to my proposal. But with several minutes of talking and persuasion, they finally agreed to me.

After giving a short farewell with everyone, I headed to the soon-to-be the battlefield between Hanzo and three legendary Sanin.
