Chapter 31 The first mission

Early the next morning, Che received a mission notification, saying that Shikaku Nara had received a mission that required the three of them to complete.

So Che was curious about the content of this mission, changed his clothes and went out.

Kurenai and Asuma also received the same mission notice.

The three of them arrived at the Nara family's residence almost at the same time.

Although the Nara clan is not a big family in Konoha, it has already reached a certain scale.

These three people stood at the door of Nara's house, somewhat conspicuous.

Fortunately, after being informed by the guard, Nara Shikaku came out with a weird smile, which made Che suddenly feel bad.

Sure enough, Che's prediction was right, Nara Shikaku released the content of this mission.

This time it was a C-level mission issued by Shikaku himself, patrolling the Nara family's deer farm. The location was the Nara Forest in the Land of Fire, which was the ancestral property of the Nara family.

Shikaku said: "There won't be any danger in this mission, so I won't go."

"Someone will guide you to the Nara Forest. You only need to stay within the specified area for a month and be responsible for patrolling."

"Don't worry, generally no one will covet the Nara clan's territory."

"You go back and clean up."

Che just felt a little bored. He was quite interested in it at first, but it turned out to be a mission without danger.

Kurenai was quite looking forward to it, because she heard that there were a lot of deer in the Nara Deer Farm. After all, little girls like small animals.

Seeing Che and the others going back, Nara Shikaku returned to the station. A clan elder said with dissatisfaction: "Shikaku, you have assigned the tasks assigned to you by the family again. Are you so unwilling to contribute to the family? ?”

"Also, Shikaba is a forbidden area for our Nara clan. Only Nara clan members can enter."

Lu Jiu waved his hand and said: "I am now a jounin of Konoha, so naturally I have to contribute to Konoha first. Besides, isn't it a contribution to spread the distribution?"

"Also, those three people are not only my disciples, but also the future of Konoha. Do you want to doubt the future of Konoha?"

The clan elder was speechless and left angrily.

Lu Jiu looked at the clan elder who was leaving and sighed: "It's really troublesome."

A young ninja from the Nara clan found Che and the three of them one by one.

This ninja's name is Nara Shimizu. He has a black ponytail and thick dark circles around his eyes. He looks quite tired.

Nara Shimizu said: "I will take you to the deer farm. I will take care of you for this month."

"Oh, it's really troublesome... Shikaku left the task to me again."

All three of them seemed to feel the deep resentment of Nara Saltwater, and they couldn't help but feel sympathy for Nara Saltwater.

"Tsk, tsk, it seems that our teacher is really doing many evil things."

Nara Saltwater brought Che, Kurenai and Asuma to a forest in the hinterland of the Land of Fire that afternoon. This is the famous Nara Forest.

There are a large number of deer and countless wild animals in captivity, and many precious medicinal materials are grown there. It is one of the most cherished industries of the Nara family.

The Nara family almost monopolized the medicine business in Konoha and even the Country of Fire thanks to such a forest.

The Nara Forest is very large, so it is impossible for Che and the others to patrol the entire area.

In fact, the area designated by Shikaku for Che was less than one percent of the area of ​​Nara Forest.

But even so, this range would take Che and the others a while to patrol, not to mention having to be on guard at all times, which would be even more troublesome. No wonder Lu Jiu didn't want to come.

Nara Yanyan took the three people outside a small wooden house and said, "This is where you will live for this month."

"There are some supplies in there. There is a small town in the north of the forest. If the supplies are not enough, you can go there to buy them. The supplies purchased in that town can be recorded in the Nara family's account. Just take out your mission voucher. That’s it.”

"By the way, the antlers will be collected in two days. Although you don't know the shadow binding technique, you can still help me catch a few more deer. I will collect the antlers in two days and pay you extra according to the number of antlers. remuneration."

"Here is a map of the forest. The forest is very big. Please be safe and don't get lost. That's all. I'll leave first."

Nara Saltwater left after giving some instructions.

Che touched his nose and sighed: "This first mission is not what I expected."

Che had heard Kakashi complain about the boring tasks in the village before, so Che was mentally prepared.

He can also accept catching cats and dogs, and of course he hopes it is the kind of task that can improve his actual combat ability.

But I didn't expect that this mission would involve patrolling here for a month and there would still be room to stay.

Call it fun, but it’s just a walk in the forest and catching deer.

Call it boring, but it's easier than catching cats and dogs.

In short, both situations are different from what was expected.

Kurenai and Asuma felt similarly.

The three of them then entered the wooden house and found that the wooden house was much more modern than they imagined, with modern furniture such as electric lights, gas stoves, refrigerators, and water heaters.

This makes the three of them very satisfied. After all, the three of them have become accustomed to the convenient and fast life in Konoha Village.

The only thing that dissatisfied the three of them was that the cabin was too small and only had one bed.

"I have never lived in such a small house..." Sarutobi Asuma said, shaking his head.

The same is actually true for Yuhi Kurenai. Although her family is not as big as Sarutobi's family, it is still a single-family villa located in the center of the village.

Among the three, only Che had lived a truly hard life. Before he was five years old, Che lived in a dilapidated house in a small town in the Country of Fire. The area was about the same as the wooden house in front of him, and the house was almost bare.

Che said: "Complaining is not an option. This bed can only sleep one person. Hong, you can sleep on the bed, and Asma and I will sleep on the floor. Are you okay with that?"

Che said and looked at Asuma, who shook his head. Although he was the eldest son of the Hokage family, he would not be so delicate that he would compete for a bed with a girl.

Hong was a little embarrassed at first, but when she thought that if she didn't sleep on the bed, she would definitely have to sleep with the boys, so she suppressed what she wanted to say and nodded slightly.

The three of them packed their luggage and cleaned and decorated the house together.

Hong wiped the sweat from his forehead, inspected the fruits of the three people's work with his hands on his hips, and said, "Not bad, it finally looks like it can be lived in."

Che also laid the floor, and he and Asma lay down to try it out. The space was just enough.

Hong looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "I have worked hard for you this month. Don't worry, I will be responsible for your food this month, and I will reward you well."

Che lay on the floor and silently gave a thumbs up.

Asuma burst into laughter upon seeing this.

Hong then looked through the ingredients in the refrigerator and decided on tonight's menu, "radish, potatoes, onions and baby cabbage."

Che sat up and said, "No meat?"

Asuma also sat up and said, "Nara is rich in vegetables, but is this too much?"

Hong opened the refrigerator door and let them see for themselves. Sure enough, it was all vegetables.

Che didn't expect that the supplies here were sufficient but there was no trace of meat.

Che immediately said: "Let me go hunting, so that I can eat meat."

Kurenai and Asuma both objected, and Asuma said: "Nara Saltwater didn't say whether we can hunt. If we act rashly and cause trouble, we will be in trouble."

Hong said: "Let me go to the town to buy it. It happens that you two are on patrol."

Che had no choice but to hold back his eagerness to hunt.

In this way, the three of them divided the work and cooperated. Hong went to the town to buy things, while Che and Asma stayed in the forest to patrol and catch deer by the way.
