Konoha Main Gates
After trekking through the streets of the Uchiha compound where they greeted the younger Uchiha children who were playing in the otherwise empty streets, Naruto, Mikoto, and Satsuki finally arrived at the village's main gates, where Natsuki and Narumi were patiently waiting for them.
Natsuki had moved her sword from her back to her hip, in place of the sword was a medium sized backpack, which could also be found on Narumi's back. It appeared that neither of their parents had taught them even the basics of sealing, which was odd considering they were fūinjutsu masters. They probably didn't want their children to be capable of messing with the seal that kept Kurama at bay.
Now that Naruto thought about it, most of the other rookie thirteen were rather uninformed about the shinobi world, such as how they should prepare for missions. Though the academy certainly didn't help with that aspect. To them, being a shinobi was nothing more than a game or a competition. Kiba, Ino, and Sakura were the ones who fit this description the most accurately. This kind of mission would be sure to introduce Natsuki and Narumi to the harsh reality of the world.
"Oi! You're finally here! Hurry up, let's get going!" Narumi yelled excitedly from her spot next to the check-in for anyone leaving or entering the village. Completely opposite of her sister's exuberant reaction, Natsuki merely smiled and waved at the rest of the team.
A moment later, all of the members of the team were standing face to face with each other. Naruto figured he would have to relay the information he received from Obito sooner or later, but now wasn't the best time. It would be better to inform them of the complications of the mission once they were closer to their destination.
"Sorry, I had some additional details regarding the mission to go over with Obito-sensei. Did the two of you have to wait long?" Naruto asked as he opened up one of the pocket on his flak jacket and pulled the mission scroll out.
"No, we just arrived, it took longer than we expected to get ready. We used up most of our supply of kunai and shuriken during the chūnin exams and the invasion, so we had to pick some up on our way home." Narumi spoke sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her head. She was a bit embarrassed that she hadn't been prepared earlier when they had first been called in to take a mission. She should have restocked on weapons earlier in the week, especially when she knew that she would eventually be assigned more missions because of the excess mission flow.
"Where is all your equipment?" Natsuki asked curiously after eyeing the three embers of the team who had just arrived.
Satsuki reached into her weapons pouch and pulled out a single sealing scroll, holding it up for the two Uzumaki-Namikaze children to see. "We sealed all of our equipment away. Didn't your senseis or parents teach you anything about fūinjutsu?" She received a shake of the head in the negative from both girls before she continued talking. "I'm no expert in it, but basic fūinjutsu was one of the first things that Obito-sensei taught us after becoming a genin team. Most shinobi of the village use sealing scrolls when going on missions instead of carrying around larger packs."
The two girls' eyes widened when they found out that there senseis and parents had skipped such an important part of their shinobi training. Sure, they were still genin and still on a genin team together, but if sealing was as important as it sounded then why hadn't they been taught it right after they became a team or even while they were still in the academy?
Now that they thought about it, both their mother and father were fūinjutsu masters, two of the only in the village, so why had they never spoken of teaching them in that area before. They had been offered training in ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, and even bukijutsu, but never fūinjutsu. Why was that?
Only one thought came to mind.
'...The seal...!' Were the simultaneous thoughts of the only blonde and redhead in the group.
Naruto saw that there eyes had widened with realization, so he chose this time to interject so they wouldn't make a big deal of it later. "I see you've finally realized...They didn't teach you about the art they specialize in because they didn't want to give you the opportunity to alter the formula of the seal that holds the Kyuubi back. Whether that was the right or wrong decision, that's up to your own interpretation."
Leaving behind the two, now silent, girls, Naruto handed the mission scroll to Izumo and Kotetsu, who were once again on gate guard duty, that seemed to be their preferred position within the village. They quickly wrote down the names of those leaving in their log and stamped the end of the mission assignment next to the Hokage's stamp and signature. After which, Izumo handed the scroll back to Naruto.
With that part of the formal procedure completed, everything was set for them to begin their mission.
Placing the mission scroll back into his flak jacket pocket, Naruto stepped back to face his team. "We're set, is everybody ready?"
He received a simultaneous response of "Hai, Taichou!" from the four females who he would be working with over the course of the next few days.
"The journey to the border between Hi no Kuni and Oto no Kuni should take just under two days. We'll stop later tonight once night falls, then travel the rest of the way all day tomorrow. I still need to brief you on all the details of this mission before we arrive in Banaro Town, so I'll do so tonight." Naruto spoke as the team payed close attention to his words.
After hearing that there were even more details for the current missions, most of the lower ranked kunoichi were confused. Usually it was their sensei who would deal with the finer details of the mission and they would merely follow along and listen to their sensei's orders, not that they knew that. They were mostly familiar with C-Ranked missions such as escort or delivery missions, those types of missions didn't exactly have too many discrete orders other than the main objective, however, most of the higher ranked missions did.
This was the first A-Ranked mission that Naruto and Satsuki had done since their time in Yuki no Kuni. For Natsuki and Narumi, they had never been on a mission that was ranked higher than B before. The B-Ranked mission was the one where they came across Rokusho Aoi and retrieved the Raijin no Ken, where the two of them nearly died, along with Nawaki. That was still a terrible memory for the two of them.
"We should get going now." Naruto spoke before walking out the gates and jumping into the tree-line, cutting off most of the kunoichi from their thoughts.
They quickly rushed after him, not wanting to get left behind.
Had they paid more attention to their surroundings, such as the shadows cast by the large walls surrounding the village that had been rebuilt, they may have been able to see the distinct pair of golden-yellow eyes, belonging to a plant-like apparition, before it sunk back into the ground.
