Chapter 149: Kaguya Kazuki
After briefly exercising her body in the morning, Kaguya Kazuki had breakfast and went to the clan's mission hall to pick up the mission.
The Kaguya clan stipulates that each ninja in the clan must complete at least one mission every month. If the first mission is short, you must accept a second mission.
Kaguya Kazuki acquired a mission at the beginning of the month and finished it in three days, so she had to accept another mission now.
Entering the mission lobby, Kaguya Kazuki walked straight to the left. This is where missions for Chunin and above are released.
"Young Patriarch!"
The person in charge of assigning tasks is an elderly man. His right leg is incomplete. It can be seen that he is basically a disabled person. As for the cause of the disability, it is simply that he lost his leg during a war or performing a task.
At the old man's greetings, Kaguya Kazuki forced a smile on her cold face and quickly returned to her expressionless state.
The old man was not angry at this. Everyone knew the young patriarch's temperament. Although he was usually a little cold, in fact, deep down in his heart, he was still very emotional, but he was not good at expressing it.
"This is an escort mission. The mission issuer is located in the ancient city of Huan, in the north of the clan. The mission requires at least one jounin and two chunin to escort a batch of goods to the city of Hein, in the central and southern part of the Land of Fire. It will depart tomorrow morning."
The old man handed Kaguya Kazuki a black scroll.
The young patriarch never chooses tasks, he simply does those assigned to him by the clan. Therefore, the tasks that the young patriarch performs are specially selected and are the most suitable for him.
Sure enough, as usual, Kaguya Kazuki simply glanced at the mission scroll, then nodded, took the mission scroll, and left the mission room.
After exiting through the door, Kaguya Kazuki continued jumping back and forth across various rooftops, and soon landed at the entrance of a courtyard.
After knocking on the door, a middle-aged man came out, "Young Patriarch!"
Kaguya Kazuki said concisely, "I just accepted a mission to escort a batch of goods to Hein City in the central and southern part of the Fire Country. Do you want to come?"
Kaguya Kazuki usually performed tasks with many clan members, so after hearing this, the other party agreed without saying a word.
Soon, thanks to the actions of Kaguya Kazuki, the necessary personnel for the mission was assembled.
And Shigeru, who was always attentive to the young patriarch Kaguya's movements outside, also noticed something unusual in his actions.
"Oh yeah? This otaku is finally coming out?"
Shigeru, who stood on the tree and looked a little disheveled, couldn't help but smile. This guy finally came out.
After that, Shigeru quickly left the place and headed north.
He must keep some distance from the young patriarch Kaguya, otherwise, if the other party finds out and a misunderstanding occurs, it will be troublesome.
In the northeast part of the Land of Fire, Shigeru kept jumping forward, and far behind, were Kaguya Kazuki and two chunin.
They were like two unrelated groups, each following their own path.
Soon, Shigeru in front discovered a village.
The environment of this town is slightly better than the town where Shigeru went on his first mission. At least the road surface is not dirt, but gravel.
"Forget it, I'll go in first."
Looking at the city in front of him, Shigeru hesitated for a moment and then walked towards the city.
Young leader Kaguya's destination might be this town up ahead, so he entered first and waited to get some rest.
Of course, if the other party's destination is not like that, then he will have no choice but to leave the city and follow the other party again.
After entering the city, in order to avoid losing him, Shigeru casually found a stall on the side of the road and sat down.
"Do you want something?"
As soon as Shigeru sat down, a middle-aged man asked excitedly.
"What are you selling?" Shigeru asked.
"Dear customer, we sell breakfast, we have steamed buns, ramen, eggs, soy milk…"
"Okay, give me a bowl of ramen."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Shigeru ordered a bowl of ramen.
In order to keep an eye on the young patriarch Kaguya these past few days and prevent him from leaving the Kaguya clan unnoticed, Shigeru's diet can be said to be very simple. He basically eats wild fruits to satisfy his hunger.
That's why Shigeru really wants to try something tasty.
"Okay, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
After hearing Shigeru's order, the middle-aged man immediately turned around to prepare the food.
"Please make the ramen extra large, I'm very hungry," Shigeru added.
"Okay, extra large ramen is coming out!"
…
After a while, under Shigeru's perception, the young patriarch Kaguya and the two chunin entered the city.
As Shigeru ate ramen, the young patriarch Kaguya passed behind him and then walked towards the center of the city.
As if he didn't know anything, Shigeru ate his noodles calmly without looking back at the other party.
After finishing the bowl of noodles, Shigeru noticed that the young patriarch Kaguya also stopped in the center of the city.
"You must be Mr. Yamayama. We are ninjas from the Kaguya clan and we have accepted your mission." A chunin who was traveling with him, Kaguya Kazuki, took the initiative and began talking to a businessman.
Nobuki Yamada said, "Can you confirm the mission for me?"
Kaguya Kazuki stepped forward and handed over the black scroll.
After unrolling the scroll and examining it carefully, Nobuki Yamada said, "Please follow me."
After saying this, Nobuki Yamada led two guards and Kaguya Kazuki to the guest room on the third floor of the restaurant.
After closing the door, Nobuki whispered, "My assets are weapons such as spears, bows and arrows, and long knives. Daimyo Eguchi of Nobu City wants to attack Daimyo Matsuyama of Būji City. In order to avoid alerting the other party, Daimyo Eguchi specially recommended that I purchase these weapons in the northeastern part of the Land of Fire and transport them back.
However, I was worried that there would be some accident along the way, so I rely on you to deliver my goods to Hein City safely. Is that okay?" Nobuki Yamada said this while explaining the details of the mission.
Naturally, Kaguya Kazuki would not refuse this mission, so he nodded and said it was no problem.
Seeing this, Nobuki Yamada smiled and said, "In that case, prepare a room for the three of you, rest tonight, we will leave tomorrow."
