Chapter 3

Shingen will not take the initiative to look for trouble, maybe he is a little selfish, despite his strength, he does not take the initiative to help the weak, but this is his nature. The task of saving the world is left to Naruto and the others, he has fulfilled his dream and now wants to live freely.

Shingen bowed to Tsunade, but after a while he didn't get any response, so he looked up at her and found that she was also looking at him, with the symbols of money flashing in her eyes.

"Those gems ....." Tsunade looked at the sword on his back and found the gems stuck in the hilt, which she could easily judge with her years of knowledge. Each gem looked no less than the necklace she had given to Naruto, much to her shock.

"Ahem, Tsunade-sama!" Shizune immediatly understood what Tsunade was looking at, so she cleared her throat slightly and poked Tsunade to remind her that she was in public now.

"Ah, ahem sorry, i got distracted where did we stop?" Tsunade immediately came to her senes at hearing Shizune's voice, coughed lightly, and asked not to embarrassed.

"I'm taking on a B-class mission, Tsunade-sama, is it feasible?" Shingen didn't bother to think about why she was looking at him so intensely just now, still with a quiet expression, stating his own affairs.

"B-class mission, where are your teammates?" asked Tsunade with a serious look on her face, but her eyes glanced at his sword from time to time.

"I act alone...." Shingen has acting alone for the past two years and was fine with it.

"I have a mission, but its dangerous, you have to face to Rouge Jonin's..... you are a Chunin..... can you handle them?" Tsunade asked in a slight teasing voice, looking intensely at Shingen, wondering what choice he would make.

Shingen sword aroused Tsunade's curiosity, and it was amazing to have such a precious thing as a Chunin.

"I can" to her questions and mocking gaze, Shingen remained calm and answered frankly, without any change in his expression.

"I'm sorry, i cant't put your life at risk, you can't take on this task alone." His answer surprised Tsunade, who she had expected him to give up, and in his yellow eagle eyes she saw no fear, only indifference. But she also knew she couldn't risk playing with the live of the ninjas in her Village.

"Then i'll take a C-class—".

"Wait, why don't you join us?" Shingen didn't want to argue with her, so he decided to take on a low-level task today, but before he could finish speaking, a voice came from the side that interrupted him.

"Ah, we meet again..... this must be fate...." Ino looked at Shingen, thinking that it must be fate that they could meet again so soon.

"Dont' agree!" Shikamaru, on the other hand, looked at Shingen with pleading eyes, he didn't want his good day to be ruined.

Shingen was not surprised to see her and Shikamaru because he had already noticed them when he entered the room, but Shingen turned a blind eye to them because they didn't actually have much friendship.

"I'm sorry, I could—".

"join them, the mission is very important, the longer we delay, the more people may die..... they are short of manpower....."

Regarding joining them, Shingen wanted to reject Ino's suggestion, but Tsunade interrupted him. Hearing her words, Shingen looked at Tsunade and found that she was looking at him with solemn eyes, as if things were indeed difficult.

"I.... I see.... I will join you." Looking at the serious expression in her eyes, Shingen was a little hesitant, and he looked at Ino and Shikamaru lightly, indicating his agreement to act with them.

"It's such an honor to work with you!" Ino was overjoyed to hear his answer, almost jumping up, but restrained himself at the last moment an spoke to him with a smile.

"Alas.... another bad day!" Shikamaru, on the other hand, sighed again, things were unexpected again, and his day was ruined again. But he knew he had no choice but too go on this mission now.

"Leave as soon as possible." Tsunade said, and the three of them nodded, and the next moment they disappeared from the mission assignment center.

"Shizune, give me that child's file..." Tsunade didn't recognize Shingen because she hadn't seen him for a long time, but this little encounter with him piqued her interested in him. "Yes!" Shizune nodded in agreement, leaving to request information about Shingen's File.

Shingen returned home, put the items needed for the journey into the seal scroll, and then went to the Konoha entrance to wait for Shikamaru and Ino to arrive.

"Kept you waiting". Shingen stood at the entrance with his arms crossed, and soon he heard a shout and saw Ino running towards him with her backpack on her back, waving her hand. Behind her, Shikamaru's lazy aura permeated him, with a troubled expression on his face.
