Chapter 31 The First Mission

Early the next morning, Che received a mission notification, saying that Nara Shikaku 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.

Hong and Asuma also received the same mission notification.

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

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

The three of them stood at the door of the Nara family, and they were still somewhat conspicuous.

Fortunately, after the guard's notification, Nara Shikaku came out with a weird smile, which made Che feel bad.

Sure enough, Che's prediction was correct. 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, located in the Nara Forest in the Land of Fire, which is the ancestral property of the Nara family.

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

"Someone will guide you to the Nara Forest. You just need to stay in the designated area for a month and be responsible for patrolling."

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

"You go back and clean up."

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

Hong felt quite looking forward to it, because she heard that there were many deer in the Nara Deer Farm. After all, little girls like small animals.

Seeing Che and the other two go back, Nara Shikaku returned to the base. An elder said with dissatisfaction: "Shikaku, you have assigned the task assigned to you by the family again. Are you so unwilling to contribute to the family?"

"Also, the deer field is a forbidden area for our Nara clan. Only members of the Nara clan can enter."

Shikaku waved his hand and said: "I am now a senior ninja of Konoha, so I must contribute to Konoha first. Besides, isn't assigning tasks to others a contribution?"

"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 elder was speechless and left in dismay.

Shikaku looked at the elder who left and sighed: "What a trouble."

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

The ninja's name was Nara Yui, with a black ponytail and dark circles around his eyes, and he looked quite tired.

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

"Oh, what a trouble... Shikaku has thrown the task to me again."

The three of them seemed to understand Nara Yanshui's deep resentment, and they couldn't help but feel sympathy for Nara Yanshui.

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

That afternoon, Nara Yanshui took Che, Hong and Asuma to a forest in the heart of the Land of Fire. This is the famous Nara Forest.

There are a large number of deer and countless wild animals in the farm, and many precious medicinal materials are planted. It is the most cherished industry of the Nara family, nothing else.

The Nara family almost monopolized the medicinal materials business of Konoha and even the Land of Fire thanks to such a forest.

The scope of Nara Forest is very large, so it is impossible for Che and the other two to patrol the entire scope.

In fact, the scope that Shikaku has designated for Che is less than one percent of the area of ​​Nara Forest.

But even so, it would take Che and the other two a while to patrol this area, not to mention that they have to be on guard all the time, which is even more troublesome. No wonder Lu Jiu didn't want to come.

Nara Yanshui took the three people to a small wooden house and said, "This is where you will live for the next month."

"There are some supplies inside. There is a small town in the north of the forest. If the supplies are not enough, you can also 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 certificate."

"By the way, we will collect deer antlers in two days. Although you don't know how to bind shadows, you can help and catch more deer. I will come to collect deer antlers in two days and pay you extra according to the number of deer antlers."

"Here is the map of the forest. The forest is very large. Be careful and don't get lost. That's all. I'm leaving first."

Nara Yanshui gave some instructions and left.

Che touched his nose and sighed, "This first mission is not what I thought."

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

He could accept catching cats and dogs, and of course he hoped that it would be a mission that could improve his combat ability.

But he didn't expect that this mission would be to patrol here for a month, and there would be a place to stay.

It's interesting, but it's just walking in the forest and catching deer.

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

In short, it's not the same as the two expected situations.

Hong and Asuma had similar feelings.

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

This made the three very satisfied, after all, the three were already accustomed to the convenient and fast life in Konoha Village.

The only thing that made the three dissatisfied was that the wooden house was too small and there was only one bed.

"I've never lived in such a small house..." Asuma Sarutobi shook his head.

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

Among the three, only Che has experienced a truly hard life. Before the age of five, Che lived in a shabby house in a small town in the Land of Fire. The area is about the same as the wooden house in front of him, and the house is almost bare.

Che said, "Complaining is not a solution. This bed can only sleep one person. Kurenai, you sleep on the bed, and Asuma and I will sleep on the floor. Is that okay?"

Che looked at Asuma as he spoke. Asuma shook his head. Although he was the eldest son of the Hokage family, he would not be so delicate as to fight with girls for the bed.

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

The three packed their luggage and cleaned and decorated the house inside and out together.

Hong wiped the sweat from her forehead, put her hands on her hips and inspected the fruits of the three people's labor, saying, "Not bad, not bad, now it finally looks like it can be lived in."

Che also spread the floor mat, and lay down with Asma to try it out. There was just enough space.

Hong looked at the two people and couldn't help laughing, saying, "You have worked hard this month. Don't worry, I will take care of your meals this month, and I will reward you well."

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

Asma also laughed out loud when he saw this.

Hong then looked through the ingredients in the refrigerator and decided on the menu for tonight, "Radish, potatoes, onions and cabbage."

Che sat up in a flash, "No meat?"

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

Hong opened the door of the refrigerator for them to see for themselves, and it was indeed all vegetables.

Che didn't expect that there were enough supplies here but no meat at all.

Che immediately said, "I'll go hunting, so we can eat meat."

Hong and Asma both objected. Asma said, "Nara Salt Water didn't say whether we can hunt or not. If we act rashly and get into trouble, it will be troublesome."

Hong said, "Let me go to the town to buy it. It's time for you two to perform patrol missions."

Che had no choice but to suppress his desire to hunt.

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