Chapter 73 Nonou's First Mission (Second Update)

After leaving the Ninja Academy, Natsuki went to Konoha Hospital.

Before I even got close, I saw pharmacist Nono standing at the hospital entrance.

"Did get out of class end early today?"

Xia Mu walked up to her, reached out and pinched her cheek, and asked.

"I finished today's class ahead of schedule."

"I am Yakushi Nonou," Yakushi Nonou replied softly.

"That's really impressive."

Xia Mu said with a smile, "Tomorrow is summer vacation, and Tsunade-sensei said you can come with us to the Land of Iron."

"Can I go too?"

Yakushi Nonou's gentle expression changed, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Um."

Natsuki explained, "Tsunade-sensei said your strength is already comparable to a medical genin, and you can go out on missions to gain experience."

Yakushi Nonou nodded emphatically, a smile playing on her lips; she looked very happy.

She had long wanted to do missions with Xia Mu, but she never had the opportunity or was ever allowed to.

"This is your first time going out on a mission, so let me tell you some things to be aware of."

As Xia Mu walked, he said, "First, you must bring enough lunch boxes, as cooking is not allowed during the mission —"

Yakushi Nonou followed behind him, listening intently.

Upon arriving at the Konoha Orphanage, Natsuki pulled her into the kitchen.

The Land of Iron is located northeast of the Land of Fire. According to the normal walking speed of a ninja, it would take one to two days to travel there.

The required number of bento boxes is between three and six.

Considering that they are all children except Tsunade and can't work that fast, we'll prepare the bento boxes in two days.

"Nonou".

Xia Mu opened the refrigerator and asked, "What do you want to eat on the way?"

"I'm fine with either."

"Your cooking is delicious," said Pharmacist Nonou earnestly.

"Then make a few more."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and said, "Let's start with the three-colored dumplings."

Three-colored dumplings, also known as glutinous rice dumplings.

In the original work, it was the favorite of Mitarashi Anko and Uchiha Itachi.

The former, in particular, ended up eating Mitarashi sweet potatoes.

Yakushi Nonou stood to the side, watching Natsuki's actions.

Only when the enticing aroma wafted out did she subconsciously lick her lips.

"Try it."

Xia Mu handed her a glutinous rice ball.

Yakushi Nonou immediately opened her mouth and took a bite.

After chewing a few times, a hint of enjoyment appeared on her fair face.

"tasty."

After Yakushi Nonou finished speaking, she took a bite of the remaining glutinous rice ball.

"It's all your saliva."

Xia Mu glanced at his fingers and joked.

Upon hearing this, Yakushi Nonou gave him a smile.

She's so cute.

Xia Mu turned around and continued cooking.

Considering that Tsunade, Nawaki, and Minato were coming to eat, he made a few extra portions.

The next day.

After breakfast, Natsuki and Yakushi Nonou arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village.

Tsunade, Nawaki, and Minato Namikaze had all arrived ahead of schedule, but Kushina Uzumaki was not among them.

Her special status makes it difficult for her to go out, especially since she had been kidnapped before.

Of course, the most important reason is that Mito Uzumaki's lifespan is coming to an end, and she must seize the time to learn sealing techniques.

"Let's go."

After Tsunade finished registering at the Konoha gatekeeper, she turned and walked out.

Everyone needs to register before leaving the village, and she was no exception.

Xia Mu glanced at the Konoha gatekeeper.

They are unfamiliar; they are not Izumo Kamui and Tetsuo Koko from the original work.

That's normal, though, since they haven't been born yet.

Night falls.

The group successfully arrived at the northeastern border of the Land of Fire.

"It's sweet and sticky, really delicious."

Tsunade took a bite of the three-colored dumpling and praised it.

"Although I don't really like sweets, I have to say it's pretty delicious."

Rope Tree let out a breath and said.

Minato Namikaze and Nono Yakushi were relatively quiet, silently eating their three-colored dumplings.

"Now that we've finished eating, I'll tell you about the details of this mission."

Tsunade clapped her hands and said, "The main purpose is to form an alliance with the Land of Iron."

"alliance?"

Nawaki paused for a moment, then asked, "Doesn't that mean we won't encounter any enemies on this trip to the Land of Iron?"

"It's highly unlikely we'll encounter it."

"That's what Tsunade replied."

"Then what's the point of this mission?"

Nawaki immediately showed a disappointed expression.

He had been learning Water Breathing and the Greatsword Samehada for some time, and he was looking for an enemy to test his skills against.

I thought this mission would offer a chance, but it turned out to be just a simple trip to the Land of Iron to form an alliance.

Do you know what the Land of Iron is also called?

Tsunade knew what he was thinking and asked with a smile.

"What?"

Rope Tree scratched his head and asked.

"The land of samurai".

Xia Mu pondered for a moment, then said.

"good."

Tsunade nodded and said, "Samurai value martial arts and are happy to spar with others."

"I heard from my teacher that among samurai, there is a kind of behavior called 'challenging the dojo'."

Minato Namikaze began, "It's about visiting famous local samurai and sparring with them."

"Who is the strongest in the Land of Iron?"

Rope Tree asked impatiently.

"Mifune."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then said, "But you're definitely no match for him, so don't go looking for trouble."

"Can a samurai be more powerful than a ninja?"

Rope Tree asked, puzzled.

"Samurai also use chakra."

Tsunade replied, "They are actually ninjas who use swordsmanship."

"I see."

Nawaki's face showed a look of realization, and he asked again, "Mifune is a Jonin?"

"Mifune is famous for his self-created Mifune-ryu swordsmanship. The characteristic of his swordsmanship is speed, so fast that ninjas don't even have time to form hand seals."

Tsunade explained, "Besides that, he also has a samurai sword called Kurosawa, which is said to be able to cut through iron like mud."

"Kurosawa? Is he famous?"

Xia Mu was taken aback upon hearing this.

He knew Mifune had a samurai sword, but he didn't know it was so famous.

"Of course, they are very famous."

Tsunade glanced at him and said, "He's well-known among samurai and swordsmanship ninjas."

Xia Mu immediately thought of his Heroic Spirit Emiya template.

The third ability, Projection Magic, is unlocked by projecting seven famous ninja tools.

He has already projected Thor's Sword, Grass Sword, Longsword - Needle, Blunt Sword - Helmslayer, and White Fang Blade; he's only missing two more.

Based on Tsunade's description, Kurosawa should meet the requirements.

In addition, there is the unlock condition for the fourth ability, Fantasy Collapse, which is to break a famous ninja tool during battle.

Kurosawa would most likely meet the requirements.

Most importantly, Mifune is a samurai from the Land of Iron, not a ninja from Konoha.

The only problem is whether Mifune will refuse to ally with Konoha Village because Kurosawa was broken.

Xia Mu thought about it carefully and felt that it was unlikely.

Judging from Mifune's performance in the original work, he was indeed an excellent samurai with a strong sense of samurai spirit.

"I want to challenge Mifune."

Xia Mu snapped out of his daze and said.

"With your abilities, you could give it a try."

Tsunade nodded and did not refuse.

"hateful!"

Rope Tree clenched his fists in resentment.

Minato Namikaze also felt bitter.

Xia Mu's progress was too fast; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up.
