Nestled on a lush, tree-lined mountainside, in a simple wooden cabin.
I glanced at the clock on my wrist; it was 6:30 PM.
"Knock knock knock!"
Uka Senju stretched and gently tapped the wooden board beneath her, waking the two who were resting.
He was in the best condition before, and he didn't need sleep to rest.
So after the meal, he took over the guard duty and let his two teammates rest for a while to recharge.
There's a high chance we'll be taking action tonight, so everyone needs to maintain a certain level of alertness.
It's not like we lack the resources or time.
Then there's no need to give them Military Rations Pill to alleviate the problem.
That thing was something Ninja often ate and used in the story.
But after learning more about it in this life, I realized that it was just a product made from a large amount of medicinal herbs.
For people like them who are still growing, eating too much of this can easily become an obstacle later on, so it's best to avoid it if possible!
I was awakened by an unusual noise after resting for more than an hour.
He rubbed his big, dark eyes and looked at the white-haired boy who appeared in front of him the moment he opened his eyes.
Inuzuka Furin's lips involuntarily curled into a smile.
This scene was one that had appeared in her mind countless times.
Although we are currently on a mission outside, there are other people around us.
But the scene instantly cheered her up.
He looked at her carefully a few more times, and then noticed that the Aburame Kaun was about to get up.
She quickly picked up the Ninja Dog that had come close to her, and rushed to the stream to wash up and cool down.
"What time is it now?" Aburame Kaun, asked as she put on her armor.
"By 6:35 PM, hurry up and get ready so we can leave."
Hearing this, he quickened his pace and replied, "Okay."
Two minutes later, everyone had finished getting ready.
Uka Senju then mobilized her Chakra, causing the temporary wooden hut to dissipate.
As the vines returned to the earth, he also made them carry all the trash created by everyone into the ground.
When the site is restored to its previous state.
He turned and nodded to the three of them, then jumped onto a tree branch and led the way.
Seeing Uka's actions, the two immediately circulated their Chakra and followed her from the left and right.
They formed a triangle, leaning forward with their arms hanging naturally behind them, like an airplane gliding, using the inertia of their own gravity to increase their speed, and sped through the mountains and forests.
After walking for a few minutes...
With the help of Chakra, they quickly arrived at the foot of another, relatively flat mountain.
Looking at the village with its rising smoke, which was close at hand, Uka Senju slowed down slightly and instructed the other two, " Kaun, stay outside and use Mole to gather information."
" Furin, along with Brown and White, is going with me to meet the client."
"It's *2!"
After answering, Aburame Kaun immediately stopped in her tracks, and her entire body instantly exploded into a swarm of insects flying everywhere.
He ignored the actions of his teammates behind him and the whereabouts of the teacher who had disappeared.
Uka Senju, carrying Inuzuka Furin, sped up slightly, circled the mountain path, and stopped at the village gate.
As dusk fell, the aroma of cooking smoke wafted from each house.
Beside the village gate.
The village chief, who had been waiting there all day, sighed deeply with a helpless expression.
He didn't understand why the task had been running for so long according to the program.
Why hasn't Konoha sent anyone?
That's not what I heard in the tavern!
How much longer will this farm work have to go on?
As I pondered these thoughts, I thought about my own experiences.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly: These damned Ninja deserve...!
"Bang!"
With a soft sound, a fully armed boy, a fully armed girl, and a dog with a Forehead Protector tied to its paw suddenly appeared in front of him.
The noise interrupted his anger and startled him.
Just as his body was about to react instinctively, he noticed the Forehead Protector on the three people.
Looking at the thing he had previewed and already knew its meaning, he suppressed his instincts and felt a little uneasy.
Fortunately, his years of experience in the martial arts world allowed him to quickly recover from his unusual state after just a brief pause.
After walking a few steps, I arrived at the edge of the village, about a meter away.
He forced a smile and asked warmly, "Are you two gentlemen here to help our Fukuyama Village?"
Hearing this, and looking at the man in his forties dressed in a white linen robe...
Although simple, they were very clean people.
Uka Senju smiled and replied, "Yes, we are from Konoha."
"Please take us to see the person who commissioned the mission."
After receiving confirmation, I looked at the two young people, even though I had learned about the situation beforehand.
But the middle-aged village chief couldn't help but have some doubts.
I wonder if these two kids can handle those bastards.
However, since the tasks have already been assigned, hopefully these people will find them useful!
Thinking of this, the middle-aged village chief's smile widened even more.
He quickly bowed slightly, reaching into his robes with his left hand to retrieve something, and said with a fawning tone, "My lords, you don't need to bother looking."
" I am the unworthy one, but I am the village chief of Fukuyama, and also the one who commissioned this mission."
"Look, this is the token given to the I at the quest release location."
After explaining with a smile, he took out a card with a stamp and carefully handed it over.
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, Uka Senju took the card and examined it carefully.
After verifying that it matched the voucher given by the teacher, I found that they were correct.
I subtly exchanged information with my teammates.
As he handed the items back, he smiled and said, "So you're Fukuyama Village, the one who commissioned us. Now, we'll have to trouble you to explain the details of the mission to us."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all." Hearing this, the middle-aged man waved his hand repeatedly in agreement, his smile widening even further.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he gestured towards the left side of the doorway and said, "My lords, we've prepared some simple tea over there."
"Please sit down and rest. If there's anything you need to know, please let me know as soon as possible."
Looking at the village chief's smiling and enthusiastic face, Uka Senju did not refuse his suggestion.
The two people and the dog followed the directions directly to a rest stop near the village gate.
He sat on a stone stool and declined the tea offered by the enthusiastic village chief.
He took out a Scroll and asked with a smile, "When you commissioned me, you mentioned a stronghold of four hundred able-bodied men and one hundred women, elderly people, and children. Has that changed recently?"
"No, those people just came to collect rent recently. We got all this information out of them after they were drunk," the middle-aged man replied, confirming the information first, before revealing the source of the information.
"The mandate states that besides the three leaders, there are four others who need to be monitored. Have there been any recent changes among them?"
"Probably not. I haven't heard of anyone being robbed since the last rent collection. They haven't been doing anything big, so the number of robberies shouldn't change," the middle-aged man replied after a moment's thought.
