Leaf Village rear camp, central army tent.
"Lady Tsunade, Chunin Itoshiki reports for duty!"
Itoshiki entered the tent and knelt on one knee, reporting to Tsunade.
Tsunade sat upright. Her original posture, leaning on her head and appearing slightly lazy, changed as if she had been electrocuted the moment Itoshiki entered, straightening her back.
She quickly glanced at the intelligence scroll in her hand, and after confirming it was correct, she slowly raised her head and looked at this young ninja whom she favored.
"Get up, brat." Tsunade's voice carried a hint of imperceptible gentleness. She tossed the mission scroll, which she had already prepared, lightly.
The scroll drew an arc in the air and landed steadily in Itoshiki's hand. "This is your mission this time. After completing it, you will remain on standby at the front line. Is that clear?"
"Understood!" After a simple response, Itoshiki carefully examined the mission scroll. After confirming the mission content, he bowed to Tsunade again before exiting the tent.
"A B-rank escort mission, huh? I wonder if I'll be lucky?" Itoshiki rubbed his chin. This kind of mission was neither difficult nor easy, mainly depending on luck.
If you're lucky, everything will be peaceful along the way; if you're unlucky, you'll encounter an enemy ambush, which would be a fierce battle.
However, for the current Itoshiki, this level of mission was no longer a threat.
After this period of training, his strength had already undergone earth-shattering changes. Not to mention a B-rank escort mission, even an A-rank assassination mission, he was confident in challenging it.
[Daily Mission: Escort Supplies]
[Mission Description: As a Chunin of the Leaf Village, complete what you should during the war.]
[Mission Reward: Random C-Rank Ninjutsu, Leaf Style Taijutsu · Iron Fist (Proficient)]
[Mission Duration: 3 days]
[Mission Difficulty: B-Rank]
"System, I accept this mission!" A glimmer of excitement flashed in Itoshiki's eyes as he unhesitatingly accepted the sudden system mission.
After confessing to Tsunade last time, he finally waited for the system to release the second mission after a few days, and he would naturally not miss it.
Moreover, this system mission's rewards could be said to be very generous compared to its difficulty.
C-rank ninjutsu, Leaf Style Taijutsu · Iron Fist (Proficient), both of these were rare and good things for Itoshiki.
C-rank ninjutsu could further enrich his attack methods, while Leaf Style Taijutsu · Iron Fist (Proficient) could make up for his lack of taijutsu skills, allowing him to no longer use brute force directly in close combat. The varied release of brute force would make his strength more comprehensive.
A moment later, Itoshiki returned to his tent and began to organize his ninja tools. He had used up a lot of explosive tags in the last mission.
Before setting off this time, he specifically went to the logistics department to collect supplies. After confirming that kunai, soldier pills, and other supplies were sufficient, he went to the meeting point with peace of mind.
Soon, Itoshiki finished organizing his ninja tools, put on the ninja tool bag around his waist, and looked back to scan the tent, confirming that nothing was left behind before quickly walking towards the camp gate.
Escort missions were generally composed of multiple people. This time, the team was not large. The escort team consisted of four people, and the team members would gather at the camp gate.
Approaching the camp gate, Itoshiki saw two men and one woman waiting at the gate from afar. Including himself, the personnel were all present.
"Itoshiki, you also received this mission?" The only woman among the waiting three asked Itoshiki.
Itoshiki quickly approached and saw a tall girl with long brown hair looking at him with a smile.
"Mieko?" Itoshiki was a little surprised, not expecting to encounter classmates from the same class on any random mission.
Nara Mieko was a member of the same class as the original owner of the body. Unlike the original owner, Nara Mieko was more talented and had become a well-known Chunin in the Leaf Village early on. She was good at Wind Release and the family's Shadow Secret Technique, and her strength was not bad.
Suddenly one of the approaching members said with a loud , "Before we set off, let's get to know each other so that we can cooperate better. My name is Akimichi Yoshimaru, Jonin, from the Akimichi family, specializing in taijutsu and the family's secret Multi-Size Technique."
"Yamanaka Yuuta, Jonin, from the Yamanaka clan, specializing in sensory ninjutsu and the family's secret technique." Yamanaka Yuuta smiled slightly. His smile was very gentle, giving people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
Itoshiki nodded. When he saw Nara Mieko, he had already guessed the identities of the remaining two. Akimichi, Nara, Yamanaka, a very classic Ino-Shika-Cho combination, the three clans were inseparable.
"My name is Koha Ibuki, Chunin, specializing in taijutsu and Fire Release ninjutsu," Koha Ibuki also briefly introduced himself.
Only by understanding each other can they cooperate better during battles.
These two, plus Mieko, and himself, the configuration of this team could be said to be quite luxurious.
There was control, output, and sensing. His own abilities were also considered comprehensive, simply a perfect combination!
"I've heard of the Ino-Shika-Cho combination for a long time. It seems I'll be hitching a ride with you, Mieko," Itoshiki said half-jokingly.
Nara Mieko waved her hand, revealing the typical lazy smile of the Nara clan: "Don't say that. I heard that your performance in recent missions has been quite outstanding. Even Lady Tsunade looks at you with different eyes."
"Yes, the camp is spreading rumors that you single-handedly took down two Iwa-nin Chunin." Akimichi Yoshimaru smiled honestly and patted Itoshiki on the shoulder, the force of which almost made him stagger.
"It seems like you're not far from becoming a Jonin."
"The rumors are a bit exaggerated." He smiled modestly, "It's just good luck, plus my strength has improved during this period."
Yamanaka Yuuta sized up Koha Ibuki a few times. With the keen perception of the Yamanaka clan, he could feel that the chakra contained in Itoshiki's body was much stronger than that of ordinary Chunin.
He said in a gentle tone, "Luck is also part of strength. Alright, now that everyone is here, as the captain of this mission, I will briefly explain the content of this mission."
Yamanaka Yuuta took out a map from his ninja tool bag and spread it out in front of everyone.
"Our mission this time is to escort a batch of medical supplies to the front-line camp. The journey is about two days. According to intelligence, Iwa-nin scouts have been spotted on this route recently, so we must remain vigilant."
"Understood!" the three replied in unison.
"Then, let's set off." Yamanaka Yuuta put away the map, turned around and walked towards the three carriages loaded with supplies waiting outside the camp gate.
