Just returned from the mission, Nawaki, tiredly threw himself onto the sofa.
He felt that he didn't even have the strength to take a bath and just wanted to have a good sleep.
"Sister, did you cook? I'm so hungry."
"Cook a fart. When did your sister I ever cook? Go take a bath."
Grabbing Nawaki up and throwing him towards the bathroom, Tsunade held her arms and snorted, "After taking a bath, go buy food quickly. I'm hungry."
"..."
In other families, it's the elder sister who takes care of the younger brother. Why in my family, it's the other way around?
My sister is so fierce.
Nawaki wanted to cry but had no tears, rubbing the place that was hit and hurt.
At this moment, his tiredness had already disappeared, and he didn't want to sleep anymore. He just wanted to wash up quickly and then go buy food.
Otherwise, with Tsunade's personality, he would still be beaten later.
Miserable, but couldn't find a place to complain, because the people he could complain to couldn't afford to mess with Tsunade.
The allocation of new ninjas was finally over, and each team, under the leadership of the guiding ninjas, began to carry out tasks.
There were those who caught cats, picked up trash, and hoed and helped plant.
The entire mission department could be said to be in a complete mess.
"Isn't there a suitable mission?"
When Mikoto saw that Chikage was looking at the mission scroll and didn't choose well after a long time, and the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.
"The good missions have all been taken away."
Chikage was very speechless. As soon as the new ninjas appeared, most of the suitable D-rank missions were gone.
Mikoto came up and took a look, showing an unwilling expression.
She didn't want to do the remaining messy tasks, especially things like cleaning the toilet.
Chikage didn't want to either.
So he turned his gaze to the C-rank missions. Generally, he and Mikoto could accept C-rank missions.
"Can this mission be accepted?"
Chikage pointed at the mission scroll.
The staff of the mission department took a look at the mission and replied, "Your team can accept it, but the employer is in a hurry and hopes to arrive at the Daimyo's Mansion before noon tomorrow."
"Then I'll accept this mission."
Since there was no suitable D-rank mission, Chikage chose a C-rank escort mission.
Escorting a merchant to the Daimyo's Mansion.
The reward was among the C-rank missions, belonging to the bottom kind.
Chikage didn't care about how much the reward was. He cared about the content of the mission.
Escorting people to the Daimyo's Mansion was better than cleaning the toilet and taking care of children.
Handing over the ninja ID and accepting the mission, Chikage and Mikoto came to the entrance of the village to wait for the employer to arrive.
As for the employer, someone would go and notify the other side.
Not long after, the employer who received the notice hurriedly came to the entrance of the village.
Even though Chikage and Mikoto looked very young, the employer didn't dare to question them.
This was Konoha, the strongest of the five great ninja villages and also the village with the most commissioned missions.
One more C-rank mission wasn't much, and one less wasn't much, but if you questioned the strength of Konoha's ninjas and caused trouble in Konoha, Konoha had the right to cancel the commissioned mission.
Otherwise, you might even be caught by the people of the Police Department and taken to the Police Department for interrogation to see if you were a spy.
After doing the registration, the three of them left Konoha and set off towards the Daimyo's Mansion.
The employer was not a person who liked to talk. He kept silent and hurried along the way, looking rather anxious to return to the Daimyo's Mansion.
"Be careful. There may be battles on the way."
Chikage whispered to remind him when he took the opportunity to explore the way with Mikoto.
Such an escort mission clearly seemed wrong.
The reward was low, in a hurry, and the employer's expression also looked a little strange.
Seems to be targeted by someone. The identity of the other party may be an ordinary person, or it may be a ninja.
"Um." Reminded by Chikage, Misaki's expression became solemn at once.
Be vigilant in observing the surroundings to prevent the enemy from lurking.
If it were just Chikage and Misaki, they could reach the Daimyo's residence in just one day, but unfortunately the employer is just an ordinary person, and the time to reach the Daimyo's residence will be extended a lot.
"You go and rest, I'll keep watch."
At night, the three were resting by the roadside, and Chikage said that she would keep watch.
Misaki said with some worry:
"How about I take the first half of the night?"
Letting Chikage keep watch alone would definitely be very tiring, after all, they still have to travel tomorrow.
"It's okay."
Chikage seized the opportunity and pinched Misaki's small face with her hand and pulled it twice, directly stretching her face into a big plate.
"Pap!"
"Ouch~~"
This girl really hits hard!
Surely a woman's face can't be touched casually, even if it's a girl.
Chikage shook her somewhat reddened back of the hand.
After being disturbed by him like this, Misaki no longer resisted and obediently jumped to a nearby tree and leaned against the tree trunk to rest.
"What a talented man and a beautiful woman. I really envy this little brother. I didn't have such a beautiful girlfriend when I was a kid."
The employer sitting by the fire to warm up teased Chikage and didn't forget to recall his own youth.
"It's not a girlfriend yet."
Chikage smiled and threw a few sticks of wood into the fire:
"Uncle, you'd better rest early. We still have to continue traveling tomorrow morning."
"You asked to reach the Daimyo's residence at noon, and our time is a bit tight."
"All right."
The employer, who originally wanted to chat with Chikage for a while, seeing that Chikage didn't want to talk to him much, could only Wry smile and nod, leaning against a nearby rock and closing his eyes.
Adding a little firewood, Chikage jumped to a nearby tree, a little distance from the camp.
Then she released Shiro.
"Shiro, it's up to you to keep watch at night. Remind me if someone approaches, no matter if the other party has malicious intentions or not.
But if there is malicious intent, just kill them directly."
Of course, Chikage couldn't stay up all night on guard.
So it depends on Shiro to keep watch. Anyway, Shiro seldom comes out for a stroll, and just takes this opportunity to take a couple of rounds.
After getting Chikage's instructions, Shiro disappeared into the woods, and only then did Chikage close her eyes with peace of mind.
To be honest, it is really uncomfortable to rest in the wild. Leaning against the tree trunk, Chikage dawdle for a long time before falling asleep.
The night passed peacefully.
Nothing unexpected happened. During the non-war period, it is still relatively peaceful inside the Land of Fire, especially in the direction close to Konoha.
In the early morning, after the team ate something casually, they continued to set off.
"It seems that trouble is coming."
Chikage didn't expect that it was calm last night, but not long after setting off the next day, trouble came.
