Chapter 31
Shisui had a serious look on his face, as if he would definitely complete the task no matter how difficult it was.
Fugaku smiled, this task would be good for Shisui.
"Shisui, this mission is related to you. This mission requires you to go to the Hidden Mist Village and capture a woman."
"Woman?"
Fugaku nodded:"Yes, a woman named Terumi Mei. She is a genius with a bloodline limit, and now she is hiding in the Hidden Mist Village and has not yet made a name for herself."
"I want you to bring her back, and it would be even better if you can marry her."
After hearing Fugaku's words, Shisui stood there in a daze.
He was almost seventeen years old, and it was time for him to get married in the ninja world. As his elder, Fugaku naturally had to worry about him.
"Patriarch...I……"
Shisui showed a rare shy look on his face, and Fugaku waved his hand to decide for him. Terumi Mei's appearance and ninjutsu talent are more than enough for Shisui.
"It's settled. You go find Itachi and Xiao Ai later. After the mission is confirmed, we will set off tomorrow morning."
Fugaku arranged everything, and Shisui, who valued loyalty above all else, naturally could not refuse.
After leaving the clan leader's courtyard, Shisui prepared to inform Itachi and Xiao Ai.
Six years have passed, and Itachi is now a team leader in the Anbu established by Fugaku. Xiao Ai, at this moment, is eating a lot in the eel restaurant with the three little ones.
Shisui found Itachi first. At this time, Itachi was wearing an Anbu combat uniform and a cat mask on his face.
Seeing Shisui, he stopped with his team members.
"Brother Shisui, why are you here?"
"It's about the Kirigakure mission, which was issued by the clan leader. I'll go and inform Xiao Ai first, and meet at the Nanhe River tomorrow morning."
Shisui handed the mission scroll to Itachi, and agreed on the departure location tomorrow morning. After saying goodbye to him, Shisui went to the village to find Xiao Ai.
……
At the eel restaurant, an adult and three children were eating eel rice.
Sasuke was holding a wooden fish rice ball in his hand. It was obvious that Sasuke was the first to reach the end.
Next to Sasuke, Naruto was holding a purse and counting the coins in it.
As he was counting, he started to cry.
"Sister Xiao Ai, you are too cruel. I ate all the pocket money my mother gave me in this meal."
Xiao Ai threw the fish bone on the table, slapped Naruto with her hands while laughing, and wiped the sauce on her hands with Naruto's clothes.
"Naruto, you are not even as good as Ling-chan. You have to work harder in the next special training, or you will have to treat us to a barbecue dinner."
Naruto cheered up and stared at Xiao Ai with a look of unwillingness to admit defeat.
"I will definitely win next time! Then we can go to Ichiraku Ramen and have ten bowls!"
Ling:"Nissan, ramen is not expensive. If you want to eat, I'll treat you."
Naruto put his hands on his hips:"I don't want to, I want to win you in a fair and glorious way. Ling, you have to work hard, don't become the third in command."
Naruto acted like a big brother, ruffling Ling's red hair.
When the three of them were having a great time, Shisui finally found Xiao Ai outside the door. As soon as he walked in, he saw Xiao Ai waving at him enthusiastically.
"Yo! Brother Shisui!"
"Come over and eat quickly, Naruto is treating you today."
Naruto:"Eh???"
Naruto looked at the little money left in his purse and took out the money with tears in his eyes.
"Captain, I'm not here to eat. The clan leader has issued a new mission, I'm here to tell you the mission and tomorrow's gathering place."
Xiao Ai looked indifferent, waved and pushed Shisui to his seat.
"It's okay, just eat and talk"
""Boss! Give me another serving of eel rice!"
Amid Naruto's wailing, a delicious eel rice was served.
After the meal, the two ended their conversation. After paying the bill, Naruto felt extremely depressed.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Ai patted him on the shoulder and told him a good news.
Naruto sighed and said,"What good news?"
"Didn't you just hear that? I'm taking you to the Hidden Mist Village to carry out the mission."
Naruto rolled his eyes at Xiao Ai, wondering if she was joking. Sasuke and Ling took three steps back, indicating that they had nothing to do with it.
"Don't be afraid, I will apply for rewards for you. This is a B-level mission, at least 500,000 taels."
Sasuke said with a dark face:"This is a B-level mission, we have just entered the ninja school."
Xiao Ai patted her chest and said:"With me here, what are you afraid of? Don't you trust my strength?"
Hearing Xiao Ai's words, Naruto, who had no money, immediately raised his hand to agree. Sasuke and Ling naturally had no objection and raised their hands to agree.
"That……"
"To protect the three of you, there must be protection fees. Then let's give each of you 300,000 taels, leaving you 200,000 taels."
The three of them looked like they knew it, not even angry, and were even surprised that they could still leave 200,000 taels this time.
"Then we will gather at Nanhe River tomorrow. Anyone who is late will be disqualified."
Xiao Ai waved her hand and left the eel shop with her hands in her pockets. The three little ones behind her looked at each other and ran home to pack up.
……
The next day, at five in the morning, the sky in Konoha Village was just getting light, and the gate of the Uchiha clan leader's courtyard opened. Led by Xiao Ai, the three little ones followed closely behind.
""Let's go! Let's go!"
The three kids were wearing Uchiha clan robes, with bandages tied around their thighs and ninja tool bags hanging from their backs.
The four ninjas ran and soon disappeared into the alley.
Ten minutes later, at the Nanhe River gathering place, Shisui and Itachi had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the three kids, Itachi and Shisui frowned at the same time. For this kind of mission outside the village, Xiao Ai actually brought these three kids here.
"Xiao Ai, why did you bring these little guys here?"
Xiao Ai waved her hand, looking calm.
"I've already told dad that you guys can rest assured that I'll be watching over these three little guys."
Xiao Ai's look made Shisui unpredictable. After all, in terms of status, Xiao Ai was still his boss.
Shisui looked at Itachi, who thought for a moment and agreed.
During the meal, Itachi got some information from Fugaku. Xiao Ai had already mastered the third power of the Mangekyō Sharingan three years ago.
Itachi had only three magatama after six years. Shisui, who was standing aside, had not yet awakened Kotoamatsukami after many years.
"You three should follow Xiao Ai closely, and don't run around or do anything else."
Before leaving, Itachi warned
"All right! Let's go!"
Three big and three small, six figures merged into the dense forest in the night.
The three little ones had learned the art of walking on water under Xiao Ai's special training. This long journey was Xiao Ai's way of testing the three little ones' control over the amount of chakra.
An hour later, the three little ones were already sweating and exhausted. The chakra in their bodies was completely wasted.
"There are still two hours to go before we reach the coast."
To reach the Hidden Mist Village, we still need to take a boat.
