Youthful Duo

After carefully selecting, Shibi's gaze stopped on a specific mission.

The mission was to escort a caravan to the Grass Country Chamber of Commerce, rated as a B-rank mission with a reward of 400,000 ryo. Normally, B-rank missions wouldn't have such high rewards, but this mission seemed to be a bit special.

The caravan was of a considerable size, and the mission allowed multiple teams to take it, resulting in a generous reward.

After some consideration, Shibi decided to take on this mission.

Among the missions their team could take, this was the one with the highest reward. Even after accounting for the share taken by other teams, it was still a considerable sum.

While he didn't lack money himself, it was a good opportunity to let his teammates, Satoru, and others earn a bit more.

"Hello, please help me accept this mission." Shibi pointed at the task on the list, emotionless, as he spoke to the shinobi at the mission management office.

"Ah, it's Lord Shibi. I'll handle it right away." The shinobi at the office replied and immediately recorded the request.

Shibi pondered for a moment and asked, "Apart from our team, has any other team taken on this mission?"

The person in charge thought for a while and replied, "There should be one other team, but I don't remember which one it was."

"I see." Shibi nodded and turned to look at Anko and the others.

He saw Satoru standing in the middle, looking disheveled, while Rin and Anko seemed to be whispering to each other, still searching for the beauty secret.

Feeling the resentful gaze from Satoru, Shibi suddenly felt a chill, "The mission has been accepted. Let's hurry and go..."

He shivered, feeling the pressure from the two women next to him.

At the village entrance of Konoha, as they approached, they heard the sound of an argument.

Frowning, they quickened their pace, and a surprising scene came into view. A tall shinobi wearing a tight-fitting green suit was continuously bowing and apologizing to one person while another shinobi, dressed similarly, was pulling him back.

"Father, why are you apologizing to this person? We can just abandon this mission."

"Guy! You don't understand. If we don't have the reward from this mission, we'll struggle to make ends meet."

After berating the shinobi who was pulling him, the tall shinobi bowed again to the leader of the group, his head buried deep in his chest.

"Please forgive us! I promise we won't make such a mistake again!"

When they saw his face, Satoru was stunned, "Duy-senpai?"

"Satoru, do you know that shinobi?" Rin looked at him in surprise.

Anko, standing beside her, showed a worried expression and explained, "He's named Might Duy. He's the father of our classmate, Might Guy."

"Oh," Rin replied. She didn't have much of an impression of Guy, but she felt he looked somewhat familiar.

At that moment, the leader of the group in front of Duy showed an impatient look, waving his hand at him, "Alright, alright! Count me unlucky for bringing you two onto the team."

"Isn't it just knocking over a crate? We've already cleaned up. Why do you have to be so pushy?" Might Guy couldn't bear it any longer, clenching his fists and staring at the leader.

"Guy!" Duy grabbed him, looking anxious, "It's not easy for them to let us join the team. I was just clumsy. Apologize to the captain."

Guy looked aggrieved, almost about to cry, "But we've already cleaned up."

After roughly understanding the situation, Anko's eyes showed a hint of anger, "How outrageous."

Satoru frowned, pondering for a moment, and then walked quickly over.

"Hey! Did you guys agree? The caravan is about to leave. If you keep this up, it will delay the journey."

Hearing the impatient voice of the caravan leader, the team leader, the one in charge, showed an apologetic smile and said, "I'm very sorry! We'll handle it right away."

His gaze turned to Guy and his father, now showing disdain and contempt.

"You heard him. The caravan is about to leave. You better hurry and leave. Don't delay the journey."

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Wait!"

The team leader turned his gaze, and his eyebrows immediately furrowed. White eyes? A Hyuga shinobi? What is he doing here?

Satoru smiled slightly at the confused Guy and his father.

"Guy, long time no see."

"You are..." Guy was dumbfounded, pointing at Satoru, "You're Satoru! Why are you here?"

"I'm here to complete the mission too," Satoru smiled and replied.

"Guy, who is he?" Duy ask in confusion?

"He's Satoru, my classmate. Father, you should have heard of him; he's the genius of the Hyuga Clan who awakened a second kekkei genkai" Guy explained excitedly.

Although they hadn't interacted much during their school days, the two prodigies with dual bloodlines left a deep impression on everyone.

"That's him!" Duy clenched his right fist, slapping it into his left palm, showing relief.

Hearing their conversation, the team leader, now showing disgust, coldly said, "You guys are in the same year, so what? Did you accept this mission? Do you have any evidence? This is a B-rank mission, and if I were your team leader, I wouldn't let you come and cause trouble. You..."

Before he could finish his words, a cold and indifferent voice interrupted him.

"Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

The team leader froze and turned to the source of the voice, only to see a shinobi with black sunglasses and a wide cloak covering his body, holding up a mission contract.

"This is the contract for the mission we accepted. Isn't this evidence enough? Besides, I agree to let them join my team. Do you have any objections?"

Seeing the face of the person, the team leader, suddenly trembling, showed a fearful expression and stammered, "It's... It's you, Lord Aburame Shibi. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have dared to have any objections."

What a joke! Who would dare have objections to Shibi?

Shibi's reputation in the circle of high-level shinobis in Konoha was immense. A super fierce person! Regular upper-level shinobis were like delivering food to him, and any shinobi who faced him in combat met an extremely miserable end, leaving nothing behind but crumbs devoured by insects!

The team leader gazed at Satoru, feeling resentful. Why didn't you say earlier that your teacher is Aburame Shibi? Did I have to offend this fierce person?

I'm screwed. Should I move to another village after this?
