Chapter 20 - Genin's Journey [Part 2]

-Next Day, Mission Assignment Desk-

"Hokage-sama, Team 15 is here for a mission," Enma said.

"Oh, Enma-kun, I hope that your Team is doing well?" Hokage said

"Yes, Hokage-sama. They have improved quite well in the past month."

"That's good to hear. So what is it going to be today? We got a mission to paint fences, another to take care of a village elders grandchild *Meow*, or there is always catching Tora." he said with a little laughter in the end

'I might find D-Ranks useful (moneywise) but that cat is not worth the trouble' I thought to myself.

"Actually Hokage-sama, I think my team is ready for a C-Rank," Enma said

"Are you sure? They have only been genin for a month." Hokage asked.

"We are ready" Seiryo exclaimed

"Yes, we are, Hokage-sama." I said while thinking 'As long as it doesn't turn into an A-Rank, we should be okay.'

"Hmm, very well. There has been a wild boar detected near the Hachimitsu Village. It has been disturbing the villagers. Your mission is to exterminate it." Hokage said with a tone of finality.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" All members of Team 15 exclaimed at the same time and left the mission ȧssignment room.

======

On our way out of the mission desk, we were stopped by someone "Hello there"

"Hello," Enma said, "It's good to see you."

"You as well. I see you got yourself younglings?" The elderly lady said while checking us out "They seem to be a fine Team."

"Sensei who is she?" Akiko asked with a confused look.

"Team, meet Koharu Utatane, Hokage's former teammate and current advisor, she also happens to be my sensei," Enma revealed

'Did he just say SENSEI?!?' I mentally screamed in surprise. 'Well, at least that explains the bell test."

"That's so cool! So Sensei was trained by Hokage's friend?" Seiryo exclaimed

"Something like that. Anyway, it was nice seeing you sensei but we should be on our way. We are leaving for their first C-Rank."

"I see... then I wish you luck" she walked towards the mission ȧssignment desk.

After she left Enma looked at us "Alright, we will meet in front of the village gates in half an hour. The mission will take around 2 days, prepare everything you will need" he disappeared with a quick body flicker.

"See you guys in half an hour" I made my way to the Uchiha compound.

When I got home, I summoned my personal summon. "Yo Karabuu. I'm leaving for a few days. Take care of the house while I'm gone and also make sure to keep an eye around the compound, see if any rumors are flying around."

"Alright, alright just bring me some Dango when you return," he said

"Sure thing Buu," I said before making way to my room. I opened a drawer and took a seal from it. The seal contained 3 change of clothes, a week ration of food, and 3 Soldier Pills. I might be over-preparing but still.

I place the seal inside my jacket and put on my weapons pouch, checking to make sure it has enough kunai and shurikens.

After making sure I had everything I needed I went to the living room, to my surprise Buu was in the living room with an orange covered book, laughing with a Master Roshi imitation. 'Why did I get a perverted summon? *Sigh* Maybe I shouldn't have summoned him in the first place.'

I shook my head "How do you even enjoy human pȯrn? Aren't you suppose to be a crow?"

"What?!?? This is not pȯrn! Icha Icha Paradise is a love story! It depicts the love between 2 people that gradually learn what love even means! It is a masterpiece that should be thought in schools and studied by experts! But no, because of people like YOU, it is looked down as nothing but smut." Buu returns while releasing small killing intent.

"*Sigh* Mendokuse," I said

"Also stop saying that! You are not a Nara, you're an Uchiha. Say 'Hnn' if you must say something!" He starts flapping his wings in fury.

'I forgot how defensive he gets about these books, honestly, it is very boring, but to be honest there aren't many good storybooks in this world.' I thought before saying "*Sigh* Forget about it, just don't do anything I wouldn't do, or else I'm gonna tell Karanee."

Fear becomes apparent in his eyes "You-you are bluffing, you wouldn't dare tell Mama about the books."

"Try me,"

"If-if you tell her, she'll know you let me hide them in your house." he reasoned

"Yeah, but I'm sure I can run away while she is killing you," I said

"Fi-fine I will not do anything you wouldn't do"

"Hnn," I said with a smirk before leaving with a body flicker.

-Konoha Front Gates-

When I got there I saw sensei standing with the twins next to him.

The twins smile and wave at me. But after a few moments, the fairer of the two seems to notice that I didn't bring a backpack.

"Daisuke-kun where are your stuff? The mission is going to take a few days, you should have brought at least something to eat." Akiko said

"Well Akiko-san, shinobi usually don't carry backpacks, we use sealing scrolls," I said

"Oh that's useful, we should do that next time Akiko!" Seiryo exclaims

"Yes, Nii-sama" she replies while nodding her head

Enma-sensei snickers at our conversation before telling us to come closer. Then suddenly the mood around us changed. "This is your first mission outside of the village, and before we leave I want to you to remember something. What you do outside these gates represents the entire village. If you fail the complete the mission there will be consequences. Not just for you, but the entirety of Konohagakure. Do you understand?"

We all nod our heads.

"Good, then remember that mission always comes first." He said

Making us nod again. Shortly after we left the village, I turned around and looked at the gates, realizing that this will be the first time I left the village.

Then we took to the tree trunks and quickly made our way to Hachimitsu.
