The sun peeked gently over the horizon, casting a golden hue across the quiet world. Birds sang their soft chorus from the treetops, and a faint breeze rustled the leaves like whispers of the morning.
The smell of fresh coffee drifted through the air, grounding the moment in comforting familiarity. It was the kind of morning that felt like a clean slate—quiet, slow, and full of possibility.
Today would be the last day of my mission and it started very good perhaps better than other days or it was the frustration that built up in me because of a solo mission which was boring was over.
There was no major problems or unexpected issues from Konoha's delegation. Maybe it was because Danzo was not with them that everything went well. Because surely if there is Danzo then there is chaos and underhanded schemes.
My mission was ending today since the delegation was departing today from the village back to konoha.
It was frustrating watching some people enjoying their life. Surely being in a surveillance is bland and there is no excitement.
They were making me jealous with their uncaring attitudes in the village and the villagers were treating them to their best. It was the best vacation they could ask for.
This was ending today and I was excited of that so starting the day with good vibe is maybe a sign of good day a head.
I had a simple breakfast, just warm buttered toast, a soft-boiled egg, and a cup of tea. The toast was golden and crisp at the edges, with the butter melting into every crevice, giving it a rich, comforting taste.
The egg was perfectly cooked, yolk still creamy, and it paired so well with a pinch of salt. The tea was light, a little floral, and wrapped everything together like a quiet hug. It wasn't fancy, but it felt like home gentle, familiar, and exactly what I needed to start the day.
It was a fresh and satisfying though I can't comment on the taste since I was not professional cooker but what I can say is that the breakfast looked wonderful to the eyes like it was straight out of the advertisement and restaurant boards.
Nonetheless it was quite good taste according to my taste thought it my taste bland to others since I can't criticise my cooking, I have to praise it.
I backed up my gears and ninja tools after little exercise and dressed in my usual way which was black pants, red t-shirt and blue jacket. Honestly it suited me best so I just sticked with it.
After I got ready for my daily routine I got started with high expectations and hoping that I would end the mission today as soon as possible.
I started flexing my Kagura's Mind Eye to the fullest extent that I could cover which was quite exaggerated but I adjusted soon afterwards because I got things to focus on and it was not for demonstration.
I focused my attention to the delegation who were gathered in the Manor that they were staying and surely they were backing their things and were ready to leave just not yet.
I focused my attention on one individual which was the hokage for obvious reasons.
But I was thinking something else. It was not a joke when they said the third hokage was the strongest hokage. He was not the strongest hokage after all there are monsters who overshadowed him but he is the strongest person I have seen so far in this world.
He is stronger than the elders and the Uzukage in terms of oppressive aura but he doesn't have the same chakra as the Uzukage. He might have less chakra than the Uzukage but he feels more dangerous when compared to the Uzukage.
His chakra is no joke. I can sense it with my unique senses. His reputation is for nothing and he deserves it. He has more chakra than me now but it will not be always like this. Within a year or little bit over a year, I will surpass his chakra level but I don't know if I can become stronger than him.
If having more chakra was the standard powerscaling then the Uzumakis would be the main power in the elemental nations.
So I don't know when I can rival him in strength contest. Hopefully in the next three years. Now he has both chakra and strength above me which is why I was observing him closely than others.
Also the white Fang is the same while he is little bit weaker than the hokage he is not someone you can mess with and he feels like he can kill you faster than the hokage since he is specialized in speed. He is famed for his fast and incredible swordsmanship.
Speaking of bukijutsu. It seemed that I relaxed a lot in my training with my chains because the more adept I become in wielding and mastering my techniques the harder it gets to make steady progress and move forward in creating new moves but I will focus on that soon because as my experience grows it would gradually be smooth progress.
The delegation was preparing to set off soon as I was hoping. I can get long rest and vacation sort of what they were doing. Basically I did that all the time but when I looked it from different perspectives it became different to the point of pointless jealous.
After thirty minutes or so they backed up everything in storage seal and went to the Uzukage's office for greetings and send off meeting before they left officially. It was not long before they get out.
They got warm and heartily departure party. They were basically sending them off as soon as they can so that they would be able to use as they normally did.
The delegation took this as a sign of popularity and love that the Uzumaki clan had for them.
I was laughing at this incredible misunderstanding and I liked it a lot. The villagers hurried them to get out soon and the delegation did not linger much in the and they departed in a happy mood.
