Kapitel 169: Chapter 169 Full-Time Bodyguard

Time passed, and with the adjustments and adaptations time and time again, the attacks of Kanpū, Shisui, and Yui finally getting better, and they were gradually able to fight with Shikuro on the cliff.

It's just that during the battle, Yui ran out of Chakra several times, but Shikuro did not allow her to return to the ground to refine Chakra, and instead let her stand on the cliff and directly refine it there.

It's not that Shikuro deliberately wanted to make it difficult for Yui, but he is training Yui so that she could consciously train how to refine chakra while fighting in fierce battles or even in unfavorable terrain to maintain long-term battles.

Of course, the same is true for Kanpū and Shisui.

In order to prevent himself from being too prominent, Kanpū also stood by and rested at intervals, pretending to work hard to refine Chakra.

The battle of the group of four continued from morning to noon.

Getting down from the cliff, Yui and Shisui are exhausted, and even Kanpū was a little dizzy.

Shikuro was quite satisfied with this morning training, and then invited the three to Ichiraku Ramen for a feast, and when it was over, he dragged them directly to Hokage Tower.

"Shikuro-sensei, are we going to take a mission in the afternoon?" Kanpū asked tiredly.

"You guys have rested for two days, so it's time to have a new mission! I know you are tired, but as a Shinobi, you must get used to being tired, because you never know when the next battle will come!"

Shikuro lectured calmly, and even if Kanpū and the others want to refute it, they can't do it.

The mission hall.

Shikuro started choosing the mission randomly again.

Kanpū and Shisui look at each other blankly.

"I always feel that this mission will cause trouble again." Shisui said in a low voice.

"Yes, Shikuro-sensei is the bearer of bad luck star, for the two C-Rank Missions he selected, a lot of trouble happened." Kanpū agreed.

While the two were muttering there, Yui at the back seemed to be a little confused, and interjected: "Why did you say Shikuro-sensei? Maybe it's one of us."

Kanpū was startled, and the idea that he suppressed before come into his mind again. He hurriedly shook his head and shook away the blame, and at the same time, he said to Yui righteously: "Yui, don't destroy the unity within the organization, everyone should unify the firepower to the outside!"

Yui turned around silently, ignoring Kanpū.

Soon, Shikuro grabbed a mission scroll and threw it directly to Yui.

Yui opens the scroll, and it is a C-Rank escort mission.

The content of the mission is to escort a big merchant to the Land of Iron, then accompany him to complete the acquisition of iron ore in the Land of Iron, and then escort the big merchant and iron ore to the Craftsmen Shinobi Village. After this batch of iron ores was made into Ninja Tools, they need to escort the big merchant and the Ninja Tools back to Konoha.

Looking at the content of the mission, Kanpū felt his scalp numb.

'Does this big merchant use us as full-time bodyguards?'

'Moreover, this mission does not seem difficult, but we are likely to be targeted by the enemy's Shinobi!'

'After all, what we are transporting is not ordinary commodities, but Ninja Tools instead. Even in normal times, we need to concern ourselves with rogue Shinobi, not to mention that it is a war period now, and these Ninja Tools are important military resources!'

'Once we are targeted by other Great Countries…'

Kanpū looked at Shikuro resentfully and said: "Shikuro-sensei, are you really choosing a mission at random?"

"Of course… not…"

Shikuro tried to be funny at this time, but Kanpū's group of three stared at him blankly.

"Cough! The reward for this mission is the highest in C-Rank Missions, it's 100,000 ryō." Shikuro said.

"But the danger is also very high!"

Kanpū said, "Ninja Tool is an important resource in war, and it is easy to be targeted by the enemy's Shinobi!"

Shisui next to him nodded, and even his niece Yui nodded in recognition.

"Ninja Tool?"

When Shikuro was choosing the mission, he saw 100,000 ryō rewards and took it directly. This time, he really didn't know the specific content of the mission.

He took the scroll from Yui's hand and read the specific content of the mission. He was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "This mission is really just a normal C-Rank escort mission, otherwise, the mission hall would not put this mission in the C-Rank. Of course, what Kanpū said is also right. During the war, Ninja Tools will easily be targeted by the enemy's Shinobi. Anyway, let's see the mission client first!"

"Shikuro-sensei, this time...you didn't take any private job, did you?" Kanpū asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Shikuro's cheeks twitched slightly and he chose to ignore the little bastard. He left the mission hall and followed the instructions on the scroll to the place where the mission client was.

The group followed Shikuro and walked, and soon arrived at the destination.

There is a crayfish wooden sign hanging outside… Gekkō Tavern.

Shikuro stood in front of the Gekkō Tavern, glanced at the crayfish on the wooden sign, then walked straight in, and said without looking back: "You guys should wait outside."

"Kanpū, the business of your clan's tavern is getting better and better, and there are already a lot of branches opened." Shisui said with a smile.

Kanpū smiled and jokingly said: "Don't you regret it now?"

Kanpū remembers that when they went to the village's sewage river to find crayfish, Shisui was the first to find the crayfish. After that, Kanpū also suggested that everyone should do the crayfish business, but unfortunately, the group of six and Shisui refused at that time.

Shisui shook his head, revealing a reserved smile that comes from a big clan. Although he didn't say anything, Kanpū still felt the blow of dimensionality reduction from the local tyrant clan.

It didn't take long for Shikuro to walk out with a man in his early thirties.

"This is the mission client, Shuichi Kikuchi." Shikuro said, "I have already talked to him. If there is a Shinobi appears during the mission, he will raise the mission's rank to B-Rank, and at the same time, the mission's commission will also be raised to the highest B-Rank, which is 200,000 ryō."

"I am Shuichi Kikuchi, please take care of me."

Kikuchi was very polite, and when he came up, he bowed halfway to Kanpū's group of three, and said with a smile, "I will trouble you all for this mission!"

This makes Kanpū instantly remember the Land of Hot Water's minister, Shirada Shinji from the previous mission. Comparing the two, Kanpū's favorability for Kikuchi immediately went +6 +6 +6.

Even the entrusted mission of being full-time bodyguards feels not too difficult to accept now.

Then Kanpū's group of three also introduced themselves.

"Everyone, shall we leave now?"

Kikuchi asked, "Of course, if you have something to deal with first, it's okay to delay for a while."

"No, let's go straight away."

Shikuro glanced at Kanpū and the others and said.

Kanpū also gradually got used to Shikuro's acting style, and after hearing this, he immediately formed the clone seal to create a shadow clone, and ordered him to go home and notify his family.

When everyone went to the gate of the village, Kikuchi bought a horse in a horse shop in the vicinity as his transportation.

After Kanpū completed the report of leaving the village, the group of five officially set off towards the Land of Iron.
