Leaving the Village

"Okay, okay! Stop making it sound like I'm never coming back!"

Koki looked at the people in front of her who were busy working hard, feeling both touched and amused.

The story begins when Koki returned home. He excitedly shared the news with his family that he was about to leave the village for the first time to carry out a mission, which immediately caused quite a stir.

Among them, Obito was the most excited. As if he had been injected with chicken blood, he rushed into the room where Koki lived like an arrow and then got busy without stopping.

In a short period of time, Obito had already run back and forth countless times.

Before long, he had meticulously selected five sealing scrolls and eight large spatial folding ninja tool pouches! It was simply breathtaking!

Even as Obito was frantically trying to figure things out, he kept muttering to himself, "This will definitely come in handy, and that's absolutely essential..."

Look at how focused he is! He seems determined to stuff every valuable and useful item in the house into Koki's luggage before he'll stop!

Shisui wasn't idle either; he followed Obito around busily, nodding occasionally as Obito shared his mission experiences.

"When going out of the village on a mission, be sure to bring plenty of medicine, just in case. Also, don't forget all kinds of ninja tools; who knows what kind of situation you might encounter?"

"Yes, yes!" Shisui hurriedly packed various medicines and ninja tools into Koki's bag.

Kakashi called Koki to the living room. His usually aloof and distant gaze was now filled with worry as he went over Koki's instructions on what to do when leaving the village to carry out a mission.

"After leaving the village, always remain vigilant. In unfamiliar territory, do not easily trust others. If you encounter danger, stay calm and avoid acting rashly."

"Also, pay attention to your diet and rest. Doing missions outside may be tough, but don't neglect your health. Try to choose clean food and water to avoid getting sick."

"If you encounter a powerful enemy, don't fight them head-on. Make good use of your strengths and the surrounding environment to find opportunities to escape or seek support."

Also, try not to stay in a tent; I'm worried you won't get enough rest.

"Traveling with the son of a daimyo, I'm sure we'll be able to stay at an inn." Koki's lips curled into a smile.

"That's good."

Itachi listened intently from the side.

Just then, Shisui suddenly remembered something and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"No, I need to get a big pot for Koki. What if he doesn't eat well outside?"

"Yes, pack several more packets of seasoning; he has a rather strong palate." Upon Obito also headed towards the kitchen.

Upon Koki rushed forward, intending to stop the two, but before she could speak, Mikoto had already driven them out of the door.

"What are you doing? Are you planning to move the entire kitchen? Koki is on a mission, not on a picnic. Does it have to be this exaggerated?"

The two seemed to realize that their behavior had gone too far, and exchanged a smile, tinged with embarrassment.

"Alright, take a short rest. Let Koki tidy herself up." Mikoto patted their shoulders, signaling them to leave.

"Yes, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself and come back safely." hope looked at the people in front of her, her heart filled with emotion.

No matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, he is not fighting alone; he has a group of the strongest supporters behind him.

He will surely live up to everyone's expectations, complete this mission successfully, and return safely.

The next morning, Mikoto was not there, and a heated argument could be heard coming from the kitchen.

"Shisui, why did you bring a pot? We're here to do a mission, not to have a picnic!"

Shisui replied earnestly, "Just in case. If we can't find anything to eat in the wild, we can cook something for you."

Everyone agrees that Koki absolutely cannot go hungry!

"No, absolutely not!" Koki firmly objected.

How embarrassing would it be if Minato-sensei saw this!

Under Koki's strong opposition, Shisui finally had no choice but to give up the idea of bringing the pot.

However, he still took the five, six, seven or eight scrolls that Obito had prepared for him. The scrolls were stuffed full, and he had no idea what was inside.

Koki looked at Shisui's bulging backpack and shook her head helplessly.

At that moment, Kakashi and Obito also came over and said, "We'll escort you to the Konoha Gate."

Koki quickly waved her hand and refused, saying, "No need, no need, you don't need to go, we can manage on our own."

I was genuinely doing a serious mission! What are they doing?

However, despite Koki's objections, Kakashi and Obito insisted on seeing him off, and in the end, Koki had no choice but to agree.

Before long, they arrived at the Konoha Gate.

Minato and Hayate were already there waiting for them. Seeing their appearance, Minato smiled mockingly and said, "Oh, are you guys moving house? You're carrying so much stuff."

Koki scratched her head sheepishly and didn't say anything.

Having been their teacher for so many years, Minato could see through their thoughts at a glance, especially Obito, whose thoughts were almost entirely written between his eyebrows.

"Alright, you can go back now! I'll protect them," Minato said gently, reassuring them.

"But!" Obito seemed to have something else to say, but Kakashi interrupted him.

Kakashi gripped Obito's collar tightly, bowed deeply to Minato, and said, "Sensei, I entrust Koki to you!"

Before he could finish speaking, he had already grabbed Obito and hurriedly left without saying another word.

"No problem."

"You bastard Kakashi! Let go! I haven't said goodbye to Koki yet!" Obito's angry voice drifted from afar.

"Snort!"

"Damn it! Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Chidori!"

Koki covered her face, while Minato smiled and shook his head, then showed the pass to the gatekeeper ninja, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

After the ninja guarding the gate checked and found nothing amiss, he let them out.

"Wow!"

Stepping out of Konoha Gate, Koki others took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air. It was their first mission, so they were all naturally excited.

Even Gekko Hayate, who was usually pale, blushed at this moment, and her eyes shone with undisguised excitement.
