Volume 1, Chapter 23: Night Watch? Of course, let the Nine-Tailed Fox come out to watch
Sheng Shu, who had just returned from a mission, threw himself onto the sofa tiredly.
He felt like he didn't even have the energy to take a shower and just wanted to have a good sleep.
"Sister, did you cook? I'm so hungry."
"What the hell, when will I, your sister, cook? Go take a shower."
Grabbing the rope tree and throwing it towards the bathroom, Tsunade groaned while holding her hands:
"After taking a shower, go buy food quickly. I'm hungry."
"............"
In other families, the older sisters take care of their younger brothers, but why is it the other way around in my family?
My sister is so fierce.
Sheng Shu wanted to cry but had no tears, and rubbed the place where he was hurt.
At this moment, his tiredness had disappeared and he no longer wanted to sleep. He just wanted to wash up as soon as possible and then go buy some food.
Otherwise, with Tsunade's personality, he would continue to be beaten.
His life was miserable, but he couldn't find anyone to complain to, because the people he could complain to couldn't afford to offend Tsunade.
The assignment of new ninjas was finally completed, and each team began to carry out their missions under the leadership of the guiding ninja.
Some people catch cats, some pick up trash, and some weed and help with farming.
The entire mission department was in chaos.
"Is there no suitable mission?"
Mikoto saw Chitose looking at the task scroll, not only was she unable to make a choice for a long time, but her brows were getting deeper and deeper as she looked at it.
"All the good tasks have been chosen."
Qianyue was speechless. As soon as the new ninja appeared, most of the suitable D-level missions disappeared.
Mikoto came closer, took a look, and showed a reluctant expression.
She didn't want to do the remaining messy tasks, especially flushing the toilet.
Qianyue didn't want to either.
So he turned his attention to the C-rank missions. He and Mikoto could usually take on the C-rank missions.
"Can I take this mission?"
Qianyue pointed to the mission scroll.
The staff of the mission department looked at the mission and answered:
"Your team can accept it, but the employer is in a hurry and hopes to arrive at the Daming Prefecture before noon tomorrow."
"Then I will take this task."
Since there was no suitable D-level mission, Qianyue chose a C-level escort mission.
Escort a merchant to Damingfu.
The reward is at the bottom among C-level tasks.
Qianyue doesn't care about the reward, he cares about the content of the task.
Escorting people to Damingfu, it is also convenient to go there to flush the toilet and take care of the children.
After handing over their ninja credentials and accepting the mission, Chizuki and Mikoto came to the village entrance to wait for their employer to arrive.
As for the employer, someone will notify the other party.
Not long after, the employer who had received the notice hurried to the village entrance.
Although Chizuki and Mikoto looked very young, their employers did not dare to question them.
This is Konoha, the most powerful of the five major ninja villages, and also the village with the most commissioned tasks.
One more C-level mission doesn't make much, one less doesn't make much either, but if anyone questions the strength of Konoha's ninjas and causes trouble in Konoha, Konoha has the right to cancel the commissioned mission.
You might even be arrested by the police and taken to the police department for interrogation to see if you are a spy.
After completing the registration, the three of them left Konoha and headed towards the Daimyo Prefecture.
The employer was not a talkative person. He walked in silence all the way and seemed to be in a hurry to return to Daming Prefecture.
"Be careful, there may be a fight on the road."
Qianyue took the opportunity to explore the way with Mikoto to remind him quietly.
There was something wrong with this escort mission at first glance.
The pay was low, the deadline was tight, and the employer seemed a little strange.
He must have been targeted by someone. The other person might be an ordinary person or a ninja.
"Yeah." After being reminded by Chitose, Mikoto's expression suddenly became serious.
Watch your surroundings carefully to prevent enemy ambushes.
If it were Qianyue and Mikoto alone, it would only take them one day to reach the Daimyo Prefecture. Unfortunately, the employer was just an ordinary person, so it would take a lot longer to reach the Daimyo Prefecture.
"You go and rest, I'll keep watch."
At night, the three of them rested on the roadside, and Qianyue said she would keep watch.
Mikoto said with some concern:
"How about I take charge of the first half of the night?"
It would definitely be hard for Qianyue to keep watch all night alone, after all, she still has to travel tomorrow.
"It's fine."
Qianyue seized the opportunity, pinched Mikoto's little face with her hands and pulled it twice, pulling her face directly into a big plate.
“Bang!”
“Hiss~~”
This girl is so cruel!
It turns out that a woman’s face cannot be touched casually, even if she is a girl.
Qianyue shook the back of her hand which was slightly red.
After being teased by him like this, Misaka stopped resisting and obediently jumped onto a tree nearby and leaned against the trunk to rest.
"What a talented man and beautiful girl! I really envy you, little brother. I didn't have such a beautiful girlfriend when I was a kid."
The employer, who was sitting by the fire to keep warm, teased Qianyue and reminisced about his youth.
"Not a girlfriend yet."
Qianyue smiled and threw a few pieces of firewood into the fire:
"Uncle, you should go to bed early. We have to continue our journey early tomorrow morning."
"You asked to arrive at Damingfu at noon, and our time is a bit tight."
"All right."
The employer, who originally wanted to chat with Qianyue for a while, saw that Qianyue didn't want to talk to him more, so he could only smile bitterly and nodded, leaning against a rock beside him and closing his eyes.
After adding some firewood, Qianyue jumped onto a tree nearby, a little distance away from the camp.
Then he let Xiaobai out.
"Xiao Bai, I'm counting on you to keep watch at night. If anyone approaches, please alert me, regardless of whether the other person has bad intentions or not.
But if there is malicious intent, just kill them directly.”
Of course Qianyue couldn't wait there all night.
So Xiaobai has to keep watch at night. Xiaobai seldom comes out for a walk anyway, so he can take this opportunity to take a walk around.
After receiving Qianyue's instructions, Xiaobai disappeared into the woods. Only then did Qianyue close her eyes with peace of mind.
To be honest, it is really uncomfortable to rest in the wild. Qianyue leaned against the tree trunk and dawdled for a long time before falling asleep.
The night passed peacefully.
No accidents happened. During non-war periods, the territory of the Land of Fire was relatively peaceful, especially in the direction near Konoha.
In the early morning, the team ate something and continued their journey.
"It seems like trouble is coming."
Qianyue didn't expect that everything would be calm last night, but trouble came not long after they set out the next day.
