Konoha: I am cursed with immortality

Chapter 12 Another mission
"I'll just ask..." Looking at Kushina's clenched fist, Uesugi Toru seemed to have a gust of cold wind blowing behind his back, and hurriedly changed the subject, "By the way, teacher, Hokage-sama said that there is a mission about me, Already told you?"

This method is very effective. Kushina, who has a jumpy temper, was immediately led to another level by Toru Uesugi's words.

The embarrassment just now was completely forgotten.

"Ah, there is such a thing." Kushina suddenly remembered, then glanced at Uesugi Toru, and said, "The village decided to let you escort Princess Nami back to Daimyo."

Uesugi was taken aback when he heard the words: "Is Nami going back?"

Kushina nodded and said, "Well, now that the war broke out, Daimyo doesn't want her to stay in the village any longer, so he wants to call her back."

Uesugi Toru nodded, understanding in his heart.

This Princess Nami is the eldest daughter of the daimyo of the Land of Fire, with a noble and extraordinary status.

She worshiped ninjas since childhood, and had a dream of becoming a real ninja in her heart. As early as four years ago, in order to make her daughter happy, the Fire Country asked a group of guards to escort her to Konoha and entered the ninja school to study.

Nami's talent is average, and Konoha's senior management did not plan to train her to be a powerful ninja, so after Nami graduated, she was allowed to join the Kushina class and became teammates with Toru Uesugi.

Under Kushina's command, Nami would never perform any dangerous missions, let alone move wherever needed like Toru Uesugi. After the war broke out, Toru Uesugi was deployed everywhere to go to different frontline battlefields to support, and Nami, on the other hand, always stays by Kushina's side.

She just needs to stay in the village's sight all the time, just like Kushina. As for the "ninja" dream...

Who said a ninja is not a ninja?

Now that the war is getting more intense, the Fire Nation daimyo is worried about the safety of the eldest daughter, so he decides to recall her to his side instead of staying in Konoha to take risks.

"But... why do you want me to escort you?" Uesugi Toru was very puzzled.

There was a bit of sarcasm in Jiuxinna's eyes, and he said with a smile, "This was requested by Nami herself."

Uesugi Toru was speechless for a moment, knowing that it was not that simple.

Immediately, Toru Uesugi suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "Just me?"

Kushina nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, you are the only one."

Uesugi Toru was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "How is it possible? I'm just a jinnin, how can... no matter what, there must be a jinnin leading the team?"

Kushina shook his head and said: "No need, besides you, there are twenty guards from the Daming Mansion escorting you on this trip. Although you are the only ninja, there is no danger in the Land of Fire. , with your strength, it is enough."

Hearing this, Uesugi Toru remained silent.

Twenty guards, plus myself, of course the average Xiao Xiao thief is not afraid, but if there are powerful ninjas attacking, such a lineup is definitely not enough.

After all, judging from the surface=strength that he has shown, he is just a stronger chunin, at most he can reach the most common chunin level.

The village's high-level people just assigned this task to themselves so casually, aren't they afraid that the horse will stumble?

"Don't worry, Toru, this mission is completely confidential. No one will know Nami's movements. Besides, the twenty guards in the Daming Mansion are not as weak as you think."

Seeing Uesugi Toru's worried face, Kushina couldn't help but comfort him.

"Okay..." Uesugi Toru nodded. Since it is a confidential operation, there should be no danger. Besides, Konoha and the other high-level officials are not worried. I am a little guy, so there is nothing to worry about. .

Since they plan to do so, they can ensure nothing goes wrong.

Moreover, although the twenty guards of the Daming Mansion were not ninjas, they were said to be not bad in strength. After all, Nami was the beloved daughter of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, so they couldn't send some crooked melons to protect her.

"When are you leaving?" Uesugi Toru asked.

"Just tomorrow, the daimyo's urging is rather urgent, and they were supposed to leave early, but Nami didn't leave until she waited for you to come back."

Kushina was talking, and her playful eyes fell on Toru Uesugi again.

"Tomorrow...tomorrow is tomorrow, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Uesugi Toru sighed quietly, he also wanted to take advantage of this time to come back, have a good rest, and then prepare for the Chunin exam.

Now it seems that I have to be busy again.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about the Chunin exam?" Kushina asked with a smile when Uesugi Toru sighed.

Uesugi Toru nodded: "Well, after this mission, I don't have much time to prepare."

Kushina smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, the ninjas from other battlefields haven't returned to the village yet, and the Zhongnin exam is still a month away, and the Daming Mansion is not too far from Konoha, and it takes ten days to go back and forth." enough."

Uesugi smiled wryly and said, "That's the only way to go."

Kushina said again: "You don't have to worry too much. You will be fine in this exam. After the exam is over, you will be promoted to Chunin and you will be able to lead the team to do tasks alone."

Come on.

Toru Uesugi thought to himself that he didn't want to lead any team. It would be nice to do tasks by himself, without any constraints, and he could show off his "immortality" at will.

But Kushina is right, this Chunin exam may be just a formality, due to the shortage of manpower during the war, maybe everyone who takes the Chunin exam can be promoted to Chunin.

Unlike the future Naruto and Erzhuzi's class, where life and death were fought, only Shikamaru was promoted to Zhongnin in the end.

……

After leaving Kushina's residence, Toru Uesugi walked towards his home with a dejected expression on his face, thinking that this time's recuperation plan had failed again.

Unexpectedly, after time travel, he still couldn't escape the bad luck of "007".

If it weren't for the ninja's mission rewards, Uesugi Toru would have defected a long time ago. Alas, the stinking money still choked his throat after all.

Toru Uesugi's home is a mansion with a courtyard, which occupies a small area of ​​just over an acre. The front house and the backyard are quite elegant.

This is the property left by the parents in this life.

Uesugi Toru's parents were both Konoha's chunin, who died in a mission many years ago, and became the two cold names on the memorial tablet.

Death in this world is too rare and common.

Although he inherited all the memories of his predecessor, Uesugi Toru didn't have much sentimental emotion after crossing over.

Walking to the front of the house, Toru Uesugi took out the key and prepared to open the door.

"thorough!"

Suddenly, a cry came.

Uesugi Toru turned his head, followed the prestige, and saw two girls standing on the opposite side of the street, one with sky braids and the other with purple hair like waterfalls.

The girl with sky braids was shaking the ball in her hand while calling Toru Uesugi's name.

　I wanted to sleep and then write, but it’s better to take antipyretics when I get home. Let’s finish typing and eat something before resting. Everyone has been waiting for a long time.
