Naruto: I become Jinchūriki and Ophis is sealed on me!

The war between Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village hadn't lasted too long; maybe the Sand Village hadn't yet launched their surprise attack on the Land of Fire.

"I'm probably just overthinking it. Let's get ready. The officials are set to leave tomorrow." Xin put away the scroll and called up to Minato, who was sitting on the roof." Minato, after you're done eating, wash the lunchbox. We're meeting at the village gate at seven tomorrow morning."

"Got it."

Minato signaled an OK with his hand before hopping down from the roof.

The three then went their separate ways to prepare what they'd need for the journey.

Xin made a special trip to buy two brand-new mission scrolls, stuffing them with various spices and such.

"Other travelers get a standard-issue storage space, so why didn't I? Looks like I didn't open my cheats wide enough."

Xin felt a little disappointed that the game's inventory didn't carry over.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, when a massive convoy appeared before them, Minato's eyes widened, and Uchiha Mikoto was equally shocked.

Even Xin, who thought he was prepared, couldn't help but blurt out." Holy crap!"

They had expected a simple family trip, but who could have imagined the convoy would be this bloated? 

If a battle broke out along the way, there's no way the team could protect all these people.

"Xin, what should we do? Should we request another team to join us for the escort?" Minato was a bit flustered.

They had completed escort missions before, but never on this scale. This was no ordinary trip. Even if they were bringing their whole family, it wouldn't be this excessive.

"No need." Xin sighed and said with some frustration, "In a pinch, just focus on protecting the key people. We don't need to worry about their servants and guards."

Watching the convoy busy loading various goods onto the wagons, Minato broke out in a cold sweat. "I hope everything goes smoothly."

With such a bloated convoy, the pace would definitely be slow. If anything unexpected happened, who knows how chaotic it would get. This wasn't something a three-man team could easily manage. But since it was a mission assigned by the Third Hokage, they couldn't refuse even if they wanted to.

The convoy had gathered by seven in the morning, but it wasn't until close to noon that they finally set off from Konoha towards the Land of Rivers.

"Honored guests, my master has arranged a carriage for the three of you. The journey to the Land of Rivers is long, so traveling by carriage would be more comfortable."

As they set off, the accompanying steward approached the trio.

Minato instinctively declined, "Thanks, but we won't need the carriage. If we get tired, we'll just rest on one of the supply wagons. The carriage isn't necessary."

With the offer declined, the steward had no choice but to report back.

As the convoy of over a hundred people busied themselves loading goods onto the wagons, Xin couldn't help but feel anxious on their behalf.

Is this a vacation or a house move?

No wonder Konoha's ninjas would run away at the mention of this kind of escort mission- everyone wanted to avoid it. Anyone would get frustrated following such a slow-moving convoy, barely faster than a turtle.

It was close to noon when the convoy finally set out. But barely two hours after leaving Konoha, they stopped again. The officials were hungry and wanted to prepare lunch..
