Three days later, early in the morning.
In front of the Mission Center.
Inoichi reminded with a serious face, "Check your things to see if all the necessary supplies are ready."
Sōseki followed the advice dutifully and checked his ninja bag, "Explosive tag, flash bomb, shuriken, blood increasing pills, military rations pills..."
Asuma was stunned when he heard this, "Sōseki, why did you bring so many things? And, as a Medical-nin, what are you doing with blood increasing pills?"
Sōseki shook his head gently and said, "I just wanted to be well prepared. Who can guarantee that these things will not be used in battle? Also, even if I am a Medical-nin, there will always be times when I will run out of chakra, or it's too late to form hand seals!"
"So it's like that!" Asuma clapped his hands, "Wait for me, I'll buy it now!"
"No need to go, I deliberately brought two extras on purpose." Sōseki stopped him, took out a small bottle and handed it over.
"Haha! As expected of Sōseki, you sure know me well!" Asuma took it without any embarrassment.
Sōseki smiled helplessly, then looked beside him, "Kurenai, what about you?"
Kurenai put her hands behind her back, "Hehe, I am not as rash as Asuma!"
Sōseki still gave her a small bottle, "I made this myself, and the effect should be slightly better than the normal blood increasing pills."
"Well, then I will also accept it too!" Kurenai accepted it happily, and then took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Sōseki, "Sōseki, this is the military rations pills that I made myself!"
"Thank you, it seems I have a blessing on my mission this time!"
Seeing Sōseki accepting the military food pills of love that she made, Kurenai felt very happy, but then, she saw a palm spread out toward her.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Military rations pills!"
The corners of the Kurenai's mouth twitched slightly, "Why do you think I made it for you too?"
Asuma was heartbroken, "Sōseki made two extras for us. How can you make only one?"
Kurenai looked at him blankly and asked, "Then what about you? Did you make anything for us?"
Asuma froze and asked weakly, "I can make cigarettes by myself?"
"Hmph! Gold Binding Technique!"
"Aahh! Sōseki, help me!"
Watching the banter between his students, Inoichi also showed a smile, "It's so nice to be young!"
At this moment, a somewhat rich businessman ran towards them.
"Are you the Shinobi-dono who will escort us back to the Land of Grass? I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting!"
"We actually have just arrived."
"That's good, that's good." The rich businessman nodded again and again, looking very friendly, "My name is Kitahara Reiji, and please take care of us for the next few days, Shinobi-dono!"
Inoichi replied, "You are too polite, this is what we should do."
"Our caravan has already gathered at the entrance of the village. I'll go over and arrange it first. Once you are ready, we can set off at any time." After saying that, he ran in the same direction he came from.
Seeing Reiji left, Asuma whispered, "This time, the employer is really easy to talk to, but I feel he is a little afraid of us."
Inoichi smiled and said, "Of course he has to be more polite. After all, it's not unheard of for Shinobi to kill their employers."
"Let's go, we can't let our employers wait too long!"
...
Including the caravan's own guards, there are more than fifty people in total.
Such a number has made some bandits and robbers discouraged. At least in the Land of Fire, the caravan has been unimpeded all the way.
But on the third day, after entering the Land of Grass.
After journeying for just a few kilometers, they have met three waves of robbers.
Especially the third wave, even Shinobi appeared.
Looking at the fighting ahead, Reiji retreated with his hands and feet shaking a little. He carefully considered his language and asked, "Yamanaka-dono, there seems to be Shinobi among the robbers this time. Is it okay to let those kids deal with it alone?"
Inoichi smiled and patted his shoulder, "Reiji-dono, you may have some misunderstandings about the strength of Konoha's Genin. Don't worry, just watch it quietly."
In the field, Sōseki's group of three are "mowing the grass"!
Although there are Shinobi among the enemies and there are Samurai who can use chakra similar to the Land of Iron, Shinobi of the Five Great Countries and Shinobi of these small countries are not on the same level at all, let alone Sōseki's group of three who can be said to be absolute genius among the Shinobi of Five Great Countries!
In just a moment, the enemy died out in a desperate cry.
"These robbers are too weak, I just used Great Fireball Technique and it already scared them!" Asuma complained unhappily.
"That's right, I feel that just throwing a few shuriken can drive them away!" Kurenai nodded in agreement.
Sōseki shook his head helplessly and said, "The enemies are already dead, so let's give them some dignity!"
In the caravan, Reiji and the others all widened their eyes.
"That's amazing, is this Konoha's Genin?"
"Why do I feel that the Chunin-dono of our Kusagakure are not necessarily as powerful as them?"
"The Chunin-dono who escorted us was injured on the way and died shortly after arriving in the Land of Fire."
The previous two waves of robbers weren't too many, so they couldn't see much.
But the group of enemies just now was already considered to be a well-known robber in the Land of Grass, but even so, they were still defeated by these three children as if they were chopping vegetables.
As a caravan who travels a lot, it is not that they have never seen Shinobi before, but the Shinobi in their impression does not seem to have such a strength at all!
Thinking of this, everyone became more and more enthusiastic.
After continuing the journey again, the tense atmosphere in the caravan became much more relaxed.
On the side, Asuma is a little depressed, "There are too many bandits and robbers in the Land of Grass! I now doubt whether that old fogey's judgment is wrong."
Inoichi smiled and said, "If the weapons and supplies are really bought to deal with the bandits and robbers, then we don't have to worry about it."
"That's right, the most important thing is that the village is not threatened!" Asuma also put aside the idea of the mission being upgraded, and said with a smile, "However, it would be better if we could meet some bandits with Chunin among them!"
"That kind of large-scale bandit group is not so easy to meet..."
Just as Inoichi didn't know whether to cry or laugh, Sōseki suddenly said, "There are more robbers coming, the number is much more than before! "
Asuma said excitedly, "It really does happen!"
Inoichi looked strange, 'Could I have awakened some strange ability?'
At this time, everyone also saw the situation ahead.
A large group of ferocious robbers are chasing after a handsome young man.
Looking at the forehead protector worn on the youngster's head, he seems to be a Shinobi of Kusagakure.
And the youngster also discovered the situation here. He quickly changed direction, and at the same time urged loudly, "Run, just leave me alone!"
However, the gang of robbers stopped chasing after him temporarily.
"Haha, this little brat seems to have helped us find a flock of fat sheep!"
"Let's eat the meat first, and talk about revenge later!"
In the caravan, Sōseki's group of three looked at each other and exchanged glances.
"Why do I feel, this pattern, Sōseki, you seem to have said it before?"
