Shinobi System In Elemental Nation - Chapter 38
At the Hokage tower.
“Team Seven will be given a C rank mission today” Hiruzen
“What? Hokage-sama do you think they are ready for it?” Iruka
“They won’t be doing it alone” Hiruzen
“Yamato has gone for a mission so it take some time for him to return” Hiruzen
“Genin of team eleven will join team seven for this mission” Hiruzen
“What,a team of six genin?” Iruka
“Yes” Hiruzen
“Send anbu to call team eleven here” Hiruzen
“Yes sir” Iruka
.

At Fuhaku’s room
“Hokage-sama has asked for a visit at the tower” Anbu
Fuhaku nodded.
“Naruto, let’s go to the hokage tower together” Fuhaku
“You don’t have to meet your sensei today?” Naruto
“He has gone for a mission” Fuhaku
“Okay, let’s go” Naruto
.
.
“I will announce the next mission of team seven since everyone has arrived” Hiruzen
“But why are we called here?” Masaki
“Since your team captain is on a mission you all will be joining team seven on this mission” Hiruzen
“No questions now” Hiruzen
“It’s a C rank mission” Hiruzen
“You all will be bodyguards on the journey to the land of waves” Hiruzen
Everyone was happy after they listened that they are going for a C rank mission.
“Who? Who? Will we be guarding a princess? Or some councillor?” Naruto asked, bouncing up and down with excitement.
“Don’t be so impatient,” the Hokage chuckled. “I will bring him in now.” He raised his voice. “Send in our visitor.”
To the side of the missions assignment desk was a small lounge where the prospective clients waited while the missions were handed out or completed. It kept them contained and out of the way, yet close at hand, and was a fairly efficient system. It was staffed at all times by several Chunnin.
The door slid open, allowing everyone to get a glimpse of our client and him the first glimpse of us all.
Tazuna was old. Maybe forty. His hair and beard were dark grey but messy . His clothes were neat but worn and a little dusty from the road. His glasses were plain, but the fact he even had them at all spoke of at least past wealth and status. The sake bottle in his hand was cheap stuff that was popular with some of the younger shinobi. He looked nervous. Scared. That wasn’t unusual. People didn’t hire ninja because they felt safe. But it was at a level out of proportion for bandits or wild animals. Even for civilians, that kind of threat is a constant background knowledge – it doesn’t inspire terror.
“You the short one with the idiotic look on your face, you expect me to believe you’re a ninja?”Tazuna
“Watch your tongue old man” Fuhaku killing intent leaked
Tazuna’s gourd fell from his hands.
“Stop that Fuhaku, yiu are scaring the client” Hiruzen
“I am extremely sorry for the kid’s rude behavior”Kakashi
Tazuna was not able to move for some time but after some time he went back to his normal self.
He picked his gourd from the ground.
“I am Tazuna, a master bridge builder and I must return to my country.”Tazuna
“I’m building a bridge that will change our world and I expect you to get me there safely, even if it costs you your lives.”Tazuna.
“We are the ninja of hidden leaf,” Naruto spoke levelly
“When we accept a mission, we do our best to see that it is fulfilled provided the mission parameters are a true and accurate information” Naruto
” I wouldn’t worry, Tazuna,” Kakashi drawled
“Even if my students are only Genin, I am a Jounin, an elite ninja of the leaf”Kakashi
“Alright, kids,” Kakashi-sensei said, turning to us and unrolling the mission scroll I hadn’t even seen him receive. “This is going to be a fairly long mission. Wave Country is located to the east of the Land of Fire, and we’re going to be travelling at civilian pace, so I’d estimate it will take us about a week to get there. Our mission also includes guarding the bridge and workers as they complete the bridge which will take several more weeks. Remember that when you’re packing for the mission.” He smiled “Lets meet at the main gate in two hours. That should give you all enough time to get ready.”
“Yes, sensei” Six genin said in unison
“I have to bring as much food I can, I don’t want to eat those shitty food pills” Fuhaku thought
“Since food doesn’t turn cold in item box I should take ramen with me” Fuhaku thought
.
.
“Boss, how many bowls of ramen can you make in two hours?” Fuhaku
“Why?” Boss
“Just tell me that” Fuhaku
“Store all the ramen you can make in my containers” Fuhaku
“Okay” Boss
After two hours
“All the ramen is stored in the containers” Boss
“Thanks boss” Fuhaku
.
.
“Fuhaku you are late” Anzu
“Sorry,was at Ichiraku since we won’t be coming back soon” Fuhaku
“Sensei is still not here” Fuhaku
“What’s taking that teacher of yours so long?” Tazuna grumbled.
“Eh, Kakashi-sensei is always late,” Naruto said rolling his eyes.
“We’ll probably be as old and grey as you by the time he gets here.”
“What was that, you brat?” Tazuna scowled. “No respect. Pah.”
“Well, it’s lovely to see everyone getting on so well,” Kakashi-sensei said brightly, as Tazuna and Naruto glared at each other. “If everyone is ready, we can go.”
