After encountering Pakura, Mu Yue and the others ran into no further trouble and successfully escorted their client to the destination.
"You're truly reliable. If I ever go to Konoha to post another mission, I'll definitely request you by name, Mu Yue." The middle-aged client gave Mu Yue's professional abilities high praise.
As an ordinary person, he did not know much about ninja matters, but Mu Yue was visibly powerful. He was simply too dependable.
To express his gratitude, the middle-aged client even wanted to treat Mu Yue and the others to a lavish meal at a famous local restaurant.
Mu Yue asked for Obito and the others' opinions, and they ultimately declined the middle-aged client's kind offer.
Under normal circumstances, Obito would have gladly gone for that feast, but he was somewhat concerned about Akatsuki in the Land of Rain.
The four of them discussed it and decided to investigate Akatsuki a little on the way back.
Since their information about Akatsuki had come from Naruto Uzumaki and Yamato, they had to keep it hidden from Mu Yue.
"We can ask Mu Yue-sensei for a certain degree of freedom. We won't go too far from him, so Mu Yue-sensei can support us with Flying Thunder God if anything happens," Kakashi voiced his idea.
Kakashi thought investigating would be fine, but given how chaotic the Land of Rain was, they could not go too far.
Otherwise, if they ran into another powerful Kumogakure or Iwagakure ninja, they would be in trouble.
"We can have Obito bring it up. Just say he wants to take pictures of the scenery in the Land of Rain," Shisui suggested.
"I really do want to take pictures of the Land of Rain," Obito nodded. "Little Rin, you shouldn't come. Stay by Mu Yue-sensei's side."
