Chapter 19 - The Reunion (1/2)

They look at me and they say.

???:” My name is Kimiri Uchiha of the Uchiha clan.”

??:” My name is Himi Hyuga.”

Then the last one had a smile in his face.

That was kind of unusual because he was a Hyuga.

?:” Hi hero -san my name is Taki Hyuga. The most smiley Hyuga ever.”

He jokes. Even though they don't say it, they seem kind of not sure if I have the experience to lead this expedition and they are right I am not very experienced in leading a team of ninja in a journey of different terrain with possible enemies. So I just look at them, smile and say.

Me:” Ok then I have a thing to tell you guys. I am not really experienced in leading a team of ninja but I want to learn to do so. So will you give me advice on what I can do better along the way.”

They all nod seriously with impressed faces after all a genius child asking for help instead of being arrogant or overconfident but instead is not letting all the praise go to his head is quite surprising.

Then we start our jurney then I tell them.

Me:”By the way guys do you know any bounty outpost.”

Then the uchiha takes out a scroll from his jounin vest pocket and throws it to me. I open the scroll and it has the fire country map with various points in it and says.

Kimiri:” There all the points are bounty outposts but you have got to look for something that can hide the smell of bodies to specifically pinpoint it so it usually is a bathroom, meat shop or an animal farm. You can also turn in bounties at konoha.”

I nod at him and then as we are going on the road and make some small talk we talk about if the meat shops bountie outpost also sell meat. The answer of which is yes because if there is a meat shop who doesn't sell meat is suspicious and they might even sell meat cheaper becouse they don't really care for the miniscule amount of money they make from it.

Interestingly we didn't encounter any Sand ninja. They probably couldn't get too deep in fire country because they will get killed or captured after all Sakumo took measures against it sience the first time it happened.

Anyway we arrive at konoha relatively fast in 30 hours and we made no stops because the mesage is so important.

When we go inside after some checks that we are not transformed and not mising nin we are allowed in and go to the hokage tower and with the urgent battlefield report excuse we went in immediately to the hokages office.

When we go inside there is the 3rd hokage and 2 members of the konoha council. At least Danzo isn't here he probably is doing something immoral and fishy or trying to eliminate someone that is against the interests of konoha not like I relly care as long as he doesn't do anything against my interests. The hokage sees us and the 3 jonin bow immediately and I bow after I put the scroll in his table. He reads it and says.
