Chapter 47 - First pay

Kayle followed the old shopkeeper into the backshop, there, he could see a totally different arrangement, tons of scrolls were neatly arranged in different libraries, there was also a pile of posters of wanted ninja last seen in this region, after going a little deeper we finally arrived at a desk with chairs on both sides of it.

Kayle sat down and waited a few seconds for the old shopkeeper to be comfortable before finally talking.

Kayle: "I did these three missions said kayle as he handed the pages of the notebook with the missions concerned"

Old shopkeeper: "Good! let's start one by one, this one require to bring ten yellow pearls"

As the shopkeeper ended his sentence Kayle dropped a small pouch in front of him with exactly ten yellow pearls, the old man inspected them closely for a few minutes making sure that they were real and of good quality before nodding and stamping his seal on a form with all the information required.

Old shopkeeper: "Would you like to paid by cash right now or would you rather prefer it to receive a monetary deed?

Kayle: "I will take 20.000 ryô right now and I'd prefer to have everything else by deed"

Old shopkeeper: "Okay, well your first mission is a D-rank mission and it entitled you to 35.000 ryô, let's finish validating the other two missions"

The Shopkeeper proceeded to pick the second one, it was the escort of a merchant ship mission, he confirmed that kayle had the signed paperwork from the merchant who requested escort to their ship, after comparing the two signatures he validated this mission as well.

Old shopkeeper: "This one was a C-rank mission you are getting 40.000 ryô, okay let's have a look at the mast one"

For some reason this time the old man took a lot longer as he kept comparing several documents.

Old shopkeeper: "The mission you are showing is D-rank mission, but recently the Anbu collected more information concerning it, as they heard rumors that the water bandits had at least two chunin within their ranks..."

The shopkeeper looked at kayle suspiciously before continuing.

Old shopkeeper: "That's why it was divided into two different missions, first a low B-rank one that consisted on only collecting more information about this group and a second part that is a High B-rank which is to neutralize the threat"

Kayle: " Yes there were a total of three chunin level ninjas within the bandits, I took care of them, there were also several genins that I dealt with, as for the remaining low-level bandits I should have done enough damage to make them disband"

The Old shopkeeper looked at kayle a little suspicious but he knew to never judge a book by its cover, he proceeded with his work, making sure to follow every procedure to the letter as to not have this situation come back to him later and bite him in the ass.

Old shopkeeper: "You are a genin right ?"

Kayle: "Yes"

Old shopkeeper: "As a genin, normally you can't start a B-rank mission, but right now you say that you had potentially completed two B-rank missions"

Kayle: "Correct"

Old shopkeeper: "You will have to write a detailed report about what exactly happened, do you have any proof of what you did?"

Kayle took out a summoning scroll and took out the three heads and the weapons of the chunins bandits, he then later started writing a detailed report of the fight not hiding anything.

Old shopkeeper: "*Cough* *Cough* I will just remind you that an investigation will be open to verify what you wrote in your report, so you must be careful about your report young man"

Kayle: "Thanks for your advice old man, but I have no worries about this, do you know what will happen after the investigation?"

Old shopkeeper: "Well the investigation should take around one or two weeks, if everything is verified, you will be awarded the money of the two B-rank missions and they will be credited to your profile, this will make it easier if you try to pass the chunin exam in the future"

Kayle: "Okay, thanks for the information"

Old shopkeeper: "No worries, let's finish everything, here is 20.000 ryô in cash, and here is a document that entitles you to 55.000 ryô, you can use it at Konoha or any other outposts, but remember you can only take out up to 100.000 in a single day and 300.000 per week in the genin outposts"

Kayle nodded as he already knew about this as it was part of the adventurer course he had.

Old shopkeeper: "And take this document, this is the proof that you didn't get awarded anything for the bandit mission, and you will be able to consult the advancement of the investigation with it at Konoha"

Kayle: "Can I come to the outposts for this?"

Old shopkeeper: "No, sorry all the investigation's information are centralized at Konoha and we can't get them here, you will have to go there if you want to get your money"

Kayle smiled as he said his goodbyes to the shopkeep and finally left this outpost.

Kayle: "hehe 20.000 ryô we can definitely enjoy our meals"

Maru: "hehe who about we order sushis? I take the fish and you the rice ?"

Kayle: "Keep talking like that and you won't be eating anything"

Maru: "Hey stop bragging with 20.000 ryô, it's only worth 10 meals for both of us"

Kayle: "Yes but this is the first meal we worked for it ourselves, that's why it's more precious"

...: "Oh you got your first earning? you should definitely treat me then to a meal..."
