章節 26: Chapter 26
"Kakashi, how are you feeling?"
In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage asked with a smile, obviously in a good mood.
"Not bad, is there a Mission for me today?"
"Yes. As you know, the village funds are currently lacking, so you need to complete a lot of Mission."
"I understand."
The Third Hokage nodded, and at the same time, threw a Scroll to Kakashi and said: "This Mission is a protection Mission. The mission objective is the protection of a businessman. He wants to send a batch of goods from the Land of Fire to the Land of Wind."
"The Land of Wind?" Kakashi was surprised. He did not expect it to be this place.
"Yes, it is the Land of Wind. Although we are allies with the Land of Wind, but today the Land of Wind is also very windy and very insecure." The Third Hokage whispered.
"What happened?"
Kakashi asked curiously.
"The one-tailed Jinchūriki, Monk Fukui, is about to pass away. It is estimated that The Village Hidden in the Sand (Sunagakure) is also preparing for the next Jinchūriki. So they increased the guards."
"It turned out to be that."
Kakashi is clear. It is almost December now. He remembers that Gaara was born in January, that is, Shukaku will be sealed two months before Gaara is born.
"So, this time when you go to the Land of Wind, remain low-key. Try not to cross the warning line of the Land of Wind, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Understood!"
"Well, the Mission details are written in the Scroll. Be careful. Come back as soon as possible, the village needs your Strength." The Third Hokage said gently, his tone full of concern.
"Many thanks Hokage."
Kakashi finished, a moment disappeared in place.
The Third Hokage looked down and continued to review the piled-up documents. It must be said, that the job of a village Kage is really tough. If the Kakashi in the original work didn't change, then according to his originally lazy temperament, he would never have done this kind of chore.
Kakashi went back to his home and looked through the contents of the Scroll carefully, and analyzed the information.
Kakashi touched his chin and seemed to be thinking about something.
"The goal of this Mission is to protect a businessman named Ryugasaki and his caravans and goods, from Songcheng in the Land of Fire to the Hidden Sand Village in the Land of Wind. This distance, if travelled at about half the speed of a normal caravan, will take a couple of months." (EN: know what Songcheng is reffering to? Maybe it is the capital of the Land of Fire.)
"This Mission has a difficulty ranking of A, that is, shinobi have been eyeing the goods. According to the description of the goods, it is some expensive Metal and very heavy. It seems to be some Rare Metal. And in this journey, the nearest stop should be a small country called the Golden Country, which has a small village, called Jin Ren Village." (EN: Again, I am not sure what these places are. Not sure what Jin Ren Village is referring to.)
"So, is it the shinobi of this village that are eyeing this shipment? Jin Ren Village is very poor. It is not impossible for them to be tempted by these goods. But how does this businessman know of this information? You must know that normally, issuing a caravan escort and protection mission is, at most, only B-Ranked. But the businessman actually paid a level higher for an A-Ranked mission. This is not in line with the standard character of merchants."
"How can a businessman spend extra money, unless he knows that it is necessary to spend money. Then, this businessman called Ryugasaki seem to be hiding something."
Kakashi made a brief analysis and immediately stood up and felt that this Mission was not simple. However, he has just practiced the Eight Inner Gates, and has experienced a noticeable increase in strength. Furthermore, his Mangekyō has been opened and Kamui can be used.
As long as the threat is below Kage level, Kakashi feels that he should be capable of coping with it. Even if it is Kage level, with Kamui in hand, he should have no problem in running away.
Unless it is an opponent with an abnormal level.
However, during this period of time, there should be no abnormal shinobi so he shouldn't worry too much about that possibility.
In this case, what is he afraid of? Just take it as a test for himself, and at the same time, he can also take a good look at the landscape of this world.
With his thoughts in order, Kakashi goes out to buy some of the supplies that he will need for the Mission.
When passing by the Jiraiya house, Kakashi paused and found that there was no one inside. There was a sign on the door that said that the owner had something to do and is not home. It seemed that Jiraiya left to resume his travel around the world.
Seeing that the white haired pervy uncle left, Kakashi feels a bit sad but there is nothing to say. The life of a shinobi is always like this, a short reunion after a long time of seperation.
Kakashi secretly made up his mind that the next time he meets Jiraiya, he will ask him for more pointers. After all, Jiraiya's teaching level can be said to be the highest of all in the original work.
None of Jiraiya's several disciples were minor characters. Even the Third Hokage is not comparable to Jiraiya when it comes to teaching.
Early the next morning, Kakashi packed up his equipment and supplies, sealed them in a scroll, walked to the gate, and left the Hidden Leaf with a pass from the Third Hokage.
Songcheng is not far from the the Hidden Leaf. Kakashi rushed at full speed to the city and arrived before sunset. Kakashi quickly found the businessman called Ryugasaki through the methods documented in Mission Scroll.
Ryusaki is about 1.7 m tall, similar to the current Kakashi, wearing gray-white robes, a X-year-old Uncle.
With a gentle smile, Ryusaki Uncle is sitting in a pub with an order of sashimi and a small pot of sake.
Sashimi and Sake make for a very pleasant combination.
Kakashi confirmed that this person was the escortee of the trip, so he walked over to him and sat down.
Ryugasaki did not have a trace of surprise, took a sip of sake and said: "Konoha's shinobi?"
"Yes, are you the commissioner of this Mission, Mr. Ryugasaki?"
"Yes, it's me. I can't help but notice that you are quite young for a shinobi. I requested for an A-Ranked Mission. You must really be a genius if they sent you out."
There was a smile on Ryugasaki's face, and while he said he was amazed, his face did not show a trace of surprise.
Kakashi secretly narrowed his eyes, and sure enough, this guy is not an ordinary person. For most people, when requesting protection from a ninja, they would think that the younger shinobi are not capable.
"Mr. Ryugasaki has won the prize." (EN: I'm trying to reword this so that it basically says Mr. Rygasaki was lucky he got Kakashi as his bodyguard but I don't know how to say it without making Kakashi sound arrogant.)
"Haha, Mr. Shinobi, are interested in accompanying me in drinking a cup or two?" Ryugasaki asked while offering a glass of sake.
"Thank you, but I can't drink during a Mission, apologies." Kakashi euphemistically refused.
"That's a pity, it's a pity. The taste of the sake at this pub is very good."
Ryugasaki showed a regretful look, and then he downed the sake in his glass.
Kakashi frowned. He didn't understand what this guy is aiming at. However, Kakashi has foreseen that this Mission may not be that simple.
However, Kakashi did not have a trace of fear. Rather, he was more excited.
Millennium, who's blood are you craving for this time?
