Chapter 24 Departure from the Land of Cedars, the Legendary Fat Sheep
"boom……"
After packing his bags and getting everything ready, Ishikawa suddenly threw a shuriken into the door before nodding in satisfaction, opening the door, and leaving.
That mark was a secret code he and Rin Nohara had agreed upon. Whenever someone needed to leave the village on a mission, they would nail a shuriken inside their door.
In this way, the moment the two rooms connect in time and space, they will be able to see each other's whereabouts at a glance, so there is no need to worry.
If there is a message that absolutely must be delivered but you are not at home, leave the letter at the agreed-upon place! Do everything you can to protect their secret.
A few minutes later, the gates of Konoha opened.
"Izumo, this is our mission request form for leaving the village." After regrouping, Kakashi led Ishikawa and the other two to the famous Konoha gatekeeper to register.
"Wait a moment..." Izumo Kamizuki dared not delay and immediately took over the task, quickly checking it and having his companion Kotetsu register it. "Kakashi, I didn't expect you to lead the team out of the village so quickly. I thought it would take you a long time to take them out."
While Kotetsu was registering, Izumo Kamizuko exchanged pleasantries with a smile, his gaze sweeping curiously over the three of them...
He was genuinely curious about what made these three kids so special that they could be recognized by Kakashi, the Konoha technician!
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, there aren't many missions in the village, so we should take these newbies out to broaden their horizons!" Kakashi replied lazily, causing Ishikawa and the other two to frown.
They were called excellent genin before, how did they become rookies so quickly? Don't they have any pride?
Meanwhile, Izumo and Kotetsu on the opposite side understood each other perfectly and gave the three of them a meaningful look as they completed the registration.
"Well then, the three of you, good luck! Your teacher is a legendary ninja of Konoha, so don't let him down," Kotetsu encouraged, prompting Tarojiro to look puzzled.
This lazy teacher who's always late and carries around juicy magazines is actually a legendary ninja of Konoha?! Are you kidding me?!
Kakashi ignored their shock, carefully put away the request form, and waved his hand dismissively. "Let's go, to the Land of Sugi."
[The Land of Sugi? Another small, unknown country without a ninja village? No wonder we're going to suppress bandits; I've never even heard of this country before...] Ishikawa thought to himself, quickly following behind with his two underlings.
"Um, Kakashi-sensei, that person just said you're a legendary ninja of Konoha? Is that true?" After walking a few steps, Taro couldn't help but ask curiously.
Although Jiro didn't speak, he looked at Kakashi with a questioning gaze, waiting for an answer.
"Well... hahaha... they were just joking!" Kakashi scratched the back of his head and waved his hand dismissively. Saying his own name was just self-aggrandizement, and he wasn't that bored.
"The legendary man who can copy over a thousand ninjutsu, the Konoha technician renowned throughout the ninja world as the Copy Ninja, Sharingan Kakashi..."
"This is the legendary title that resounds throughout the ninja world. You two are truly pathetic; as the master's disciples, you don't even know his legend!"
Just as the two underlings were becoming increasingly suspicious of Kakashi and he was feeling utterly exasperated, Ishikawa, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up to explain.
"No, no way!!"
"Big brother, are you kidding me?"
Hearing the rather intimidatingly long title, the two underlings were immediately at a loss for words and stammered out their names.
Not to mention them, even Kakashi, who had been rescued, cast an inquiring glance at Ishikawa.
"Don't look at me like that, Kakashi-sensei. It's because you're so unreliable, always late and leaving early, and you're addicted to 18+ novels! I had no choice but to go to your former homeroom teacher, Mr. Kamine, to find out about your situation..." Ishikawa explained his source of information with feigned disdain, which was also his homework beforehand.
Kakashi's name is no secret in Konoha. Not only Chunin instructors, but even many Genin know about him!
However, this is limited to basic, well-known information.
"Ahem... well..." Kakashi coughed to cover his embarrassment, then adjusted his tone and looked ahead, "Speed up, we must reach the town of Yokota in the Land of Sugi by noon tomorrow."
Having said that, Kakashi quickened his pace, taking the lead...
"Taro, Jiro, hurry up and catch up." Ishikawa shrugged helplessly and urged them to follow closely behind.
Is Kakashi-sensei really that amazing?
The two underlings exchanged a glance, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes, and then silently followed after them.
………………
The country of cedars·Shoumu Yokota Town.
As the morning sun streamed into the gradually bustling town, two slender shadows, elongated by the sunlight, slowly appeared on the wide street.
“Th-that is…” In front of a casino, a young man who was still half asleep sweeping the ground suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Could it be that they are the legendary..." another person followed up with rapid breathing, their eyes filled with barely concealed greed and ecstasy.
The two exchanged a passionate glance, then turned and shouted without hesitation, "Big brother, come out here!!"
"What's all this fuss about! Honestly, you two are cleaning and you're being so fussy..." Inside the casino, the casino boss, who was taking a nap, was startled awake and started cursing.
However, due to the nature of his profession, he still led a few underlings out, wielding sticks and swords, to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
"Big brother, look over there." As soon as he came out, the casino boss was shoved and his gaze was diverted by the two sweepers before he could even figure out what was going on.
That one look was enough to make the enraged casino boss stare wide-eyed, his face flushed, and he kept swallowing to calm his excitement and disbelief!
As far as the eye could see, two graceful figures, bathed in the morning glow and bathed in sunlight, walked slowly towards the center of the street.
The person on the left had long, light yellow hair casually tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. Her fair face, delicate eyebrows, red lips, brown eyes, and the mark on her forehead made her look like a delicate doll, with a face so smooth and flawless.
What truly captivates the eye is her ample figure and overflowing, magnificent assets, which are simply breathtaking! The other woman holding the pink piglet, while not as stunning in figure and face as the other, is still pretty and pure.
The black leather suitcase the other party was carrying, in particular, attracted the greedy gazes of everyone, including the casino boss.
"A long robe emblazoned with the word 'gambling,' a blonde woman with large breasts. No doubt about it, she's the legendary..."
"The legendary fat sheep!!"
As the two approached, the casino boss and his henchmen stared with fervent eyes, unable to believe that such a windfall was about to fall into their laps.
"Hehehe... You two did a great job today, hurry up and get ready to entertain our distinguished guest. Really, I never thought today would be my lucky day!" The casino boss excitedly patted the messenger's brother, who immediately rubbed his hands together and rushed over.
There are other casinos in town besides his; the money in that box must be left at his casino.
"Honorable guest, what can I do for you? We have all kinds of gambling equipment available." The casino owner strode forward, looking at the blonde woman with excitement and trepidation, and respectfully greeted her.
A pair of bright, small eyes were fixed on the black leather suitcase, their gleam gleaming. How much money was he going to win today?!
"Let's go with this one!" The blonde woman pointed her slender, white hand at the casino entrance, her interest piqued, as she looked at the respectful casino owner.
"You can decide that." The black-haired woman tightened her grip on the money box, giving it one last reluctant look before forcing a bitter smile.
Two days... no, maybe after today this money won't be theirs anymore! So tired, I have to figure out how to raise money again ヽ(｀⌒′メ)ノ
