46 The Wolf and a Real Princess (1/2)

l The next day, I arrived at the Village Gate 5 minutes before the call time.

\”You're late!\” Shiroe yelled.

\”Good morning Nemu, Shinji.\” I said while I ignored Shiroes wild yells.

After 5 minutes were up, Inoue Sensei then arrived with 2 persons.

One was a disguised old man wearing a large cloak with a long white beard reaching his lower chest.

The other one was a pretty girl around our age wearing a dark pink short kimono.

\”Good morning guys, this is our client, Lord Nabunaga Ken and his daughter Kaori. Our mission is to secure their safety and survival before they arrive at the Land of Valleys.\” Inoue said.

All of us then nodded our heads and greeted them. We also told them our names so they can call us easily.

Our formation was a House Formation. Inoue was in front of Ken while Shinji and Shiroe are beside him from both sides.

Kaori was located behind Ken while I was at her left side and Nemu was at her right.

The escort mission proceeded smoothly. We were traveling at a slow pace since Ken and Kaori are both civilians and they can't handle the fast-paced traveling of Shinobi's.

After a few hours of walking, the sun was already ready to set while the moon slowly appears from a distance.

Shiroe then asked Ken.

\”Ne, Ken san. What is the specialty of the Land of Valleys?\” He asked.

\”Stupid!\” Nemu said.

\”What did you say Nemu!!!!\” Shiroe yelled.

\”I said that you are stupid. Why will you ask them what their land specialty? If you just focused on your studies back at school, you should know that the Land of Valley is famous for its delicious wine.\” Nemu said.

Shiroe and Nemu then proceeded to argue with each other along the way while we all just laughed at their antics.

\”To say that our lives depend on these pitiful kids.\” Kaori whispered.

\”Well, our sensei, the girl beside you and Sunglasses over there are all from prestigious Ninja clans from Konoha. Just ignore the loudmouth over there and the rest of us can vouch for your safety.\” I said.

Kaori was shocked and embarrassed that I was able to hear her whispers. In her embarrassment, she then lashed out harshly.

\”What about you? All of them are from prestigious clans, so what's your story? A weak kid playing ninja?\” She said.

\”KAORI!!!!\” Ken yelled in front of us.

Before Kaori can reply at her father's loud shout, I then flashed behind Kaori and deflected 5 Kunai's that were aimed at her.

Inoue then immediately went to action. She flashed from her spot and charged at the enemies direction.

Nemu, Shiroe and Shinji then did a pyramid formation surrounding Ken, while I just stood in front of Kaori.

\”No! Not me, protect her!\” Ken said.

All 3 of them were shocked at his words and just stood there.

A big fireball was sailing in their direction but they were not yet experienced in Shinobi battles since this team had just recently graduated according to Inoue.

When the attack was closing on their position, something appeared from my shadow. It was the lightning clone I hid under my shadow for something like this. The clone then sparked into lightning and went for a Volt Charge to the fireball.

It then destroyed the Fireball and bulldozed the attacker, dispelling into a large lightning strike killing him.
