47 The Humming Wolf (1/2)

\”Well, you are right Daisuke san. This is Hinami Kaori.\” Ken said.

\”But why did you put a B Rank mission for this. You should have put an A-rank mission for a higher survival rate. A team of a Jonin with 3 Chunins would be your escort. Money shouldn't be an issue for you right?\” Inoue asked.

\”Well, we can afford an A-rank mission but this should have been a stealthy entry to the Land of Valley so we planned to take a lower-ranking mission to arrive without any suspicion that Kaori Hime is with us.\” Ken said.

\”But we were still ambushed by 10 genin ranked shinobis.\” Nemu asked.

\”No Nemu, those were at most high Chunins. They were throwing elemental ninjutsu one after the other. Normal genins wouldn't be able to achieve the same result of ambush.\” Inoue answered.

\”But Daisuke was able to kill 4 of them.\” Shiroe said.

\”I told you that I was stronger than you before we left the village right?\” I said.

\”What are we going to do Inoue Sensei?\” Shinji talked for the first time.

\”Well after we recover from this, we'll head back home.\” Inoue said.

\”But what about the mission sensei?!\” Shiroe and Nemu asked the same time.

\”This mission is out of our league Nemu, Shiroe. If we resume this mission, the percentage of death would be about 90%. I won't risk your safety for just one mission.\” Inoue said.

\”But,\” Ken was about to talk but was stopped by Inoue.

\”No Ken san. This mission is too dangerous for my Genin Team. If you want to, you can come with us and change the mission requirements so you'll be able to get a suitable ninja team for the mission.\” Inoue interjected.

\”But if we don't get back soon, the Daimyo's family would be in a more dangerous position.\” Ken said.

\”What do you mean by that Ken san?\” Inoue asked.

\”I need to get back to the Land of Valley because my father is ill. Anytime this week my father might die due to his illness. My brother Kosuke is the Heir of the Hinami clan and he would inherit the Daimyo title when he comes to age. But as for now, our uncle would step in as my Brother's proxy since he is still too young to become a Daimyo. But when Ken and I investigated my father's illness, we found out that he was not ill. My father was poisoned by none other than my Uncle.\” Kaori answered.

\”If we don't get back in time before the Daimyo dies, their uncle Kagami would be in charge and he can immediately plot to kill Kosuke for him to become the real Daimyo of the Land of Village. But if we arrive there on time, the Daimyo would still be able to reveal Kagami's scheme.\” Ken continued.

\”But this is out of our league Ken san, Kaori Hime. If we continue the mission, all of us might die.\” Inoue said.

Both Inoue and Ken continued to argue with each other. Kaori just remained silent the whole conversation while looking at the bonfire. The 3 genins were just listening to Ken and Inoue's conversation.

When I finally got tired of their reasonings I then bit my thumb and used a Summoning Jutsu.

\”Kuchiyose no Jutsu!\”

A cloud of smoke appeared at the position where I slammed my palm and a small wolf appeared.

\”Hello, Daisuke Dono. What can I do for you?\” Mia asked.

All 3 of the Genin's were shocked at my performance while Ken and Inoue stopped talking with each other. Even Kaori decided to look up and stare at Mia.

\”Mia, how fast would you be able to send a message to the Hokage and get back to us for the reply with this distance.\” I said while I pulled out a map and pointed our direction to Mia.

\”If I send the message now, I'll be able to bring a reply within 3 hours Daisuke Dono.\” Mia answered.
