Chapter 40 - Mission from Tsuchikage (2/2)
”Wait, does that mean you finally going let me and Kimiko join the war, dad?”
”Well, depending on your performance in this mission. If you do good in the mission, then I will send you to the battlefield.
Now about the mission. One of our spy in Konoha got exposed and currently on the run. Your mission is to infiltrate to Konoha land and bring him back to Iwagakure.
Since he is just a low ranking spy, I am sure Konoha won't send any Jounins to pursue him. It's just a B-rank mission, so consider this as a test for you Kitsuchi.
Genji will be the leader of this mission. So he will be one to judge your performance. Listen to him well, Kitsuchi.”
Kitsuchi looked at me with a bright smile and puppy eyes. I was shocked to hear Onoki.
'Wait, I thought we will go to the battlefield straight. I never heard we will do mission and judge Kitsuchi and Kimiko. Did I misunderstand him? What is this old man thinking?' I thought.
”Understood, Tsuchikage-sama.” Nevertheless, I replied to Onoki and went out of his office.
Soon, Kitsuchi, Kimiko, Gari, Gin, and Kan followed me out.

(In Konoha, Hokage's office)
Suddenly the door opened and the short light-brown haired boy came in while shouting.
”Old man, I can't wait any longer. Why are you not sending me to the war?” the brown-haired kid shouted.
Hiruzen sighed and breath out the smoke he was holding in. He was very tired of dealing with this kid.
”Nawaki, you know very well why I am not sending you to war. You are the youngest Senju member in Konoha.
I am afraid something might happen to you. Your sister especially asked me not to send you to war, no matter what.”
”Exactly, I am Senju. How can I stay and do nothing while Konoha is in the war? How can I become Hokage and protect Konoha if I back down here!! Come on, send me to the war now!”
As Nawaki and Hiruzen were fighting, suddenly Anbu appeared in front of Hiruzen.
”Greetings Hokage-sama, Senju-sama.” Anbu greeted them.
Seeing Anbu is not talking because Nawaki, Hiruzen ȧssured Anbu,
”Don't worry about Nawaki. Just tell me your report.”
”Sir, the spy we have been tailing, run away yesterday night secretly. We request your permission to pursue and capture him” Anbu reported.
Just as Hiruzen was about to agree, Nawaki who was listening quietly, cut him off.
”Wait, can I go instead and capture this spy? Come on, old man. Please? You didn't send me to war and now are you going to stop me again? Just this once, please??” Nawaki literally begged at Hiruzen.
Hiruzen thought for a while. He knew the spy they were tailing is just low-ranking one. He deemed it might be a good idea to send Nawaki along with other Konoha geniuses to capture the spy as to let them gain experience.
Hiruzen raised his hands and pretended to give up to Nawaki.
”Okay, okay. You win. I can send you to capture the spy, but you need to go with other kids too. That's my condition.”
”YES!! Thanks, old man. I owe you one, hahaha” Nawaki jumped high for celebration.
---------------------------
(10 minutes later)
In Hokage's office, eight kids (12-14) years old gathered under the order of Hiruzen.
Nawaki, Fugaku Uchiha, Hyuuga's twin Hizashi and Hiashi, new Ino-Shika-Cho formation Inojin, Choza and Shikaku, and last but not least Minato were present in Hokage's office.
None of them were sent to war as all of them except Minato, are off-springs of their respective clan heads. Minato just got graduated from Academy, considered a natural prodigy as a ninja, the likes of which appears only once in a generation.
Hiruzen considered these eight kids as future pillars of Konoha. Relationships between these kids are not bad, in fact very good except Fugaku and Nawaki. Even now they were bickering at each other.
Hiruzen also wanted these two to get along after this mission.
”Now, listen, all of you! Yesterday Iwa spy knew he was exposed by our Anbu and fled to Iwagakure. I want you eight to work together and capture him before he enters Iwa land. Bring him back alive if you can.
Shikaku Nara and Fugaku Uchiha will be the co-leaders of the team.
Also, DON'T YOU DARE CHASE HIM IF HE ALREADY ENTERED IWA'S LAND. COME BACK IMMEDIATELY!!!!” Hiruzen ordered them.
””'Understood!!”””
