Naruto: Ancient Era

Hokage Building.

In the office of the Third Hokage, Kimura Kuno looked at the Hokage and said: "I am a chuunin, why do I always accept the task of catching grass and looking for pets?"

Hearing this, the Third Hokage looked at Kimura Kuno and said, "Everyone has experienced these tasks." Another meaning is that you cannot be an exception.

"I know all this." Kimura Kuno stared at the Third Hokage's eyes and said, "But I want to take on a high-level mission!"

"Most high-level tasks are carried out outside the village. Can you tell me why you want to take on high-level tasks?" The Third Hokage did not kill him with a stick, but asked.

Because of what happened to the Uchiha clan before, he explicitly banned Kimura Kuno and his family from leaving the village!

"Why?" Kimura Kuno murmured, and immediately looked at the Third Hokage with a resentful look: "You don't know?"

The Third Hokage was stunned when he heard this and said, "Should I know?" Especially the resentful look in his eyes. The Third Hokage felt bad all over!

"Do you know that if my family of three doesn't do high-level tasks, we don't even have money for food!" Kimura Kuno said as if it was all your fault.

The Third Hokage coughed lightly and said, "In that case, I have a mission suitable for you."

"What mission?" Kimura Kuno couldn't help but asked curiously. These days, he kept repeating low-level tasks, which almost drove him crazy.

"Come in!" The Third Hokage said softly, and then the door opened and a young man walked up to the Third Hokage.

"Your mission is to protect him and escort him to where he wants to go." The Third Hokage said slowly.

"No location?" Kimura Kuno said with a frown, because he noticed something was wrong.

"This is a long-term mission. I will place him at the "S" level. You must be mentally prepared!" The Third Hokage explained aloud.

Kimura Kuno's eyes narrowed slightly. His first thought was that the Third Hokage wanted to do harm to him, but he overturned his previous thoughts in an instant because the logic was incorrect.

If the Third Hokage wanted to harm him, why would he bother so much? Wouldn't it be neat to take action directly?

"Can I know the identity of this young man?" Kimura Kuno said. His interest was piqued by the mission.

Before the Third Hokage could answer, the young man shouted: "With his age, can he protect me?"

In terms of height alone, Kimura Kuno is not as tall as a boy, and is a head shorter out of thin air.

The young man's tone was calm, and his words were not humble or silent, as if Kimura Kuno was really a loser and he wouldn't care.

The Third Hokage looked at the boy, then at Kimura Kuno and said, "You can rest assured about his abilities. As for the boy's identity, he is the second son of a great name in the Land of Fire."

Kimura Kuno's pupils shrank and he said with a smile: "Hokage-sama, you really found a good job for me."

"The advantages are obvious, and there is no need to elaborate on the disadvantages." The Third Hokage thought for a while and then said: "Because it is related to the "Daimyo", everything you do represents an individual and has nothing to do with the village. Do you understand?"

"Hokage-sama, you pushed forward very quickly, but you don't think that I alone can solve all the problems, do you?" Kimura Kuno emphasized the word problem in particular.

"I know." The Third Hokage clapped his hands and said, "Come in."

The person who entered the room again surprised Kimura Kuno because it was none other than Nanako Uchiha and Kintaro Momochi.

"I don't need to say more about them. By the way, they are voluntary." The Third Hokage said as if he knew Kimura Kuno's thoughts.

Looking at Nanako and Kintaro Kimura Kuno said helplessly: "Is it worth it?"

"I need resources." Uchiha Nanako looked directly into Kimura Kuno's eyes and said, "I have never forgotten what happened to my grandfather."

Momochi Kintaro touched his swollen belly and said, "This is the path my father chose for me. I have no room for resistance."

Looking away, Kimura Kuno sighed, looked at the young man and said, "Please give me some advice."

The young man's eyes twitched and he said: "I am the 163rd child of the Fire Kingdom Daimyo, the last one. You can call me Yaoxi."

When Kimura Kuno heard that there was only a black line on his head, he sighed in his heart: "As expected of the great name of the Land of Fire, he is really capable of giving birth."

"I am Kimura Kuno, she is Uchiha Nanako, and that little fat little Kintaro Momochi." Kimura Kuno said.

Yaoxi nodded, looked at the Third Hokage and said, "We will set off early tomorrow morning."

The Third Hokage nodded and said, "Get ready now!"

Yao Xi turned around with a calm expression. When he walked out of the Hokage building, he immediately patted his chest where he thought there was no one, and said in fear: "I was scared to death. I thought the Hokage had three heads and six arms and was several feet tall..."

Early the next morning, at the gate of Konoha Village, Kimura Kuno looked at the sky in boredom...

Kintaro Momochi was squatting on the ground, counting ants to relieve his boredom. Uchiha Nanako, on the other hand, had her arms crossed with a cold expression on her face, except that her toes were tapping the ground continuously.

A long time passed...

Just when Uchiha Nanako couldn't bear it anymore, Yaoxi's figure finally appeared in front of everyone.

Looking at Yaoxi, Kimura Kuno's eyes flashed with surprise. Because Yaoxi didn't bring anything with him, he looked like a handsome young man and held a fan in his hand.

Although he was confused, Kimura Kuno was not a talkative person and said: "Yao Xi, where are we going?"

Hearing this, Yao Xi waved his fan and said, "Take a walk and experience the different customs. Aren't you curious about the outside world?"

Uchiha Nanako's eyes flashed coldly. From a certain point, what Yaoxi said was exactly what she wanted, because in order to take revenge, she must understand the enemy and know the enemy's weaknesses.

Move around, collect intel, and find Grandpa's murderer!

Momochi Kintaro grimaced because he was reluctant to part with his little nest.

Kimura Kuno's eyes lit up and asked: "Then which direction are we going?" It would be false to say that Kimura Kuno is not curious about the outside world. Because of this, Kimura Kuno is interested in everything now.

"Then...let's go in this direction!" Yao Xi pointed in one direction and said.

Kimura Kuno looked in this direction, nodded and said: "Then let's go!"

The three of them guarded Yaoxi in the middle, like a triangle formation, moving forward in the direction pointed.

at night.

Kimura Kuno looked at the bright moon in the sky, his mind empty of thoughts. From time to time, Kimura Kuno glanced at the three people sleeping soundly under the tree and smiled silently.

daytime,

After Uchiha Nanako woke up from a deep sleep, she looked at the alert Kimura Kuno on the treetops, whose face turned red. Then she looked at Kintaro Momochi, who was sleeping like a dead pig, and couldn't help but kicked him angrily: "Still sleeping, Get up quickly!"

Momochi Kintaro was sleeping soundly. As for the matter of alternating guard duty, he had long forgotten about it!

When Uchiha Nanako kicked him, he suddenly woke up from his sleep and exclaimed: "Enemy attack... enemy."

"Enemy...how big are you!" Uchiha Nanako kicked Kintaro Momochi again and said angrily.

Hearing this, Kintaro Momochi glanced around, then looked at Uchiha Nanako's eyes that were like spitting fire. He couldn't help but shrink his neck and said: "Instinct reaction...!"

Yao Xi was woken up early and was washing up at the moment.

Kimura Kuno glanced at Yaoxi from the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he was expecting it.

Kimura Kuno had a lot of guesses. According to common sense, it is impossible for an "S" level mission to be carried out so hastily by one chuunin and two ungraduated students!

But this happened, and it happened to happen just after the Uchiha clan was exterminated. This has to make Kimura Kuno think more.

Similarly, how did Uchiha Nanako and Momochi Kintaro convince the Third Hokage?

What's the deal here?

Several questions floated in Kimura Kuno's mind. He knew that the truth behind this matter could only be investigated by himself instead of telling what he wanted to know from other people's mouths.

Yaoxi raised his head and glanced at Kimura Kuno, and said to Uchiha Nanako: "It's getting late, we should set off."

Momochi Kintaro, who was on the side, touched his belly and said to himself: "If this were in a village, why would we be hungry?"

"Let's go, Kintaro!" Uchiha Nanako reminded him when she saw that Momochi Kintaro didn't move.

"I understand." Momotaro Kintaro said softly. He really didn't have the strength to shout because he was so hungry now.

Suddenly, Kintaro Momochi's nose shrugged, sniffed the air and said, "The smell of barbecue!"

After saying that, his eyes suddenly glowed with green light, like the eyes of a hungry wolf.

He took two steps, sniffed in one direction, nodded and said, "This is the right direction!" He looked sure and walked forward without hesitation.

Seeing this, Yaoxi's eyes moved. She didn't know what to think, but slowly followed Momochi Kintaro. Judging from his posture, he is not worried about his own safety at all!

Uchiha Nanako looked at the two of them acting without permission and muttered: "Forget it, I'm just walking in that direction!"

She kept comforting herself in her heart, wanting to ignore her protesting belly!

Landing from the treetops and looking at the two people walking forward, Kimura Kuno shook his head and said to himself: "As the son of a daimyo, even though he was not well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, he was still pampered. How could he walk such a long way without feeling a little bit uncomfortable? tired?"

Moreover, he has no temper, is easy to talk to, and does not look arrogant at all. It seems that Yaoxi understands things very well and will not be willful and make the task complicated!

Although Kimura Kuno wished that the mission execution was simpler, if it was too simple, it would be a strange thing. What's special is that this is an "S" level mission.

Just as Kimura Kuno was thinking this, the smell of blood filled the air. And it is a particularly strong one, as if many people died, the smell of blood is very strong!

Kimura Kuno's face changed slightly, he gently took off his shoes, stepped on the ground, and closed his eyes.

On the side, Uchiha Nanako finished muttering, and when she saw Kimura Kuno behind him standing strangely on the spot and taking off his shoes, his eyes showed a bit of confusion.
