It has been more than six months since the Hokage's visit to Uzushiogakure.
It was somewhat boring and peaceful times but the Undercurrent was real.
Even though I know nothing and was not told anything about what's going on outside the village. I was keen on the movements of the high ranking ninjas and anbus. They were busy for the last six months.
I have been doing nothing other than training in the last six months. So I got bored and craved for excitement, so today I decided to ask the Uzukage for a mission and news on what's going on outside the village.
I got early in the morning and did my morning routine. I did little bit exercise and went out for breakfast. I ate breakfast in one of the restaurants and it was the I have been a customer of in the last six months.
After the breakfast I went to the Uzukage's office for my query.
I knocked the door and soon afterwards I entered the room.
The Uzukage was sitting in a pile of documents and he was having a bad time organising the reports that he was
getting.
The Uzukage continued organising his documents and after few minutes he glanced at me and gave me attention.
I told my reasons that I came and he sighed a little bit.
He said " As far as four months back the battle between villages started unofficially. I don't know when they start but the factions that was formed already has intentions of war and this is clearly expected news between the elemental nations " he was thinking deeply.
He continued " Kirigakure is isolated and nobody nows anything about them outside but they are expected to take part in this war and no one knows their stance " he murmed while he scratched his temples.
He ended saying " Even though factions were formed before but that was not stable and it fractured after few years and now we don't know when we will be attacked but I have been focusing on strengthening our borders and our intelligence so there is no way that we will be caught off guard " he said while he was in deep thought.
I replied " that's both good news and bad news for us now because we don't know when they will focus on us and it also good because they are not paying us attention so we might as well be grateful but enhance our defense and be ready always " in a serious tone.
He said " You said you wanted a mission right ? " as he looked at my side.
I nodded in expectant way and my eyes were shining because I wanted a mission out of the village and this question sounded like that so I was excited
He said " I have mission like that in the next few weeks so be prepared as I will be sending one jounin and your generation ninjas " my eyes sparkled with excitement and I nodded readily.
I asked " what is the mission uncle " I didn't have expectations to know since it is the day of the commission that we usually know what the mission is.
He nodded and replied " You will be escorting my daughter Kushina to konoha so take time to say your good byes to her before she resents you " I got sweat dropped and laughed dryly.
I was not surprised much because I knew as far as six back that Kushina would be going to konoha and I have been going around and spending time with Kushina as much as possible but I thought this would be too soon.
He continued " Weren't you so eager to go out of the village, this is your chance and to be honest I don't think anyone could hurt you with your bug like jutsu perfect for escaping and sneaking up on ninjas " while sighting.
He ended saying " you are now full capable jounin and high tier one at that so I am relieved when I let you protect Kushina with other jounin so prepare yourself in the coming days and tell your friends. I need two teams where you will act as leader in one team while the other jounin would be the other leader. This mission will be a joint mission between two teams so make sure she arrives konoha safe and sound " seriously.
I said " Uncle don't worry I will be sure even if there are other kages targeting us I would be able to escape with Kushina and I will finish this mission as a perfect without any harm on the teams or on Kushina "
reassuringly.
He replied " Ok , but make sure to leave her in aunt Mito's quarters and don't let others pick on her while you are there, make sure of her safety before you leave " while he was caring like a normal parent cares for their child.
I left the office in high spirits and good mood. I went to search for others who will be taking the mission with us.
First of all I went straight to Akane's house and took her out of her house. I told her everything her and her excitement went beyond the roof. Her eyes were literally shining and sparkling in light.
We went on to call our friends. The second being hibari, she was not far from us and she was basically my teammate once so we went to her home first.
We were fast and swift. It did not take much so we took her out.
Little by little we assembled the team and that was how I spent the first half of the day in organising others.
The assembled team consisted of me,Akane, Hibari, Akari,Haruko,Hikari and Ariba. As always Haruko was the weakest but he was the one with highest attainments in Fuinjutsu so we can say he is balanced well.
None of us is below chunin so we are pretty strong team for our age but we still lacked much experience so we are still rookies in terms of reputation and we are pretty much unknown in the village as ninjas.
But we are also known for we are always in the village and grown up in the village so we know every part of the village that led to people becoming familiar with us. We are basically the local gangs or trouble
makers.
So in the time we are from mission we will be exercising together to get familiar with each other and build team styles that suit those that are weaker.
