Konoha Task Maniac

After showing the two Konoha door gods proof of leaving the village, Yamashiro Aoba's team successfully walked out of the village.

As soon as they left the village, Yui and Tanaka started looking around.

This is normal, after all, the two of them have never left the village since they were born.

Now that I have finally taken advantage of the opportunity to do a mission, of course I have to look around carefully.

Ignoring the curious Tanaka Kazu and Yui, Kong Ming turned to Yamashiro Aoba and asked: "Teacher Yamashiro, how far is Ueda Town from Konoha Village?"

"If we move at full speed, we can probably arrive before three o'clock in the afternoon."

Kong Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.

The time now is probably around 9:30 am, which is still five and a half hours before 3 pm.

Five and a half hours at full speed?

Kong Ming didn't think Tanaka Kazuo and Yui could persevere.

Although it has been a month since the two became genin, their chakra has also increased to a certain extent, but they are still at the stage of rookie genin, which is only a little stronger than ordinary students in school.

An hour of continuous driving might be enough, but five and a half hours? That's no different than taking their lives.

Therefore, taking into account the time to rest, Ueda Town is about three hours from Konoha when the genin is moving at full speed.

This distance can't be said to be far.

A three-hour journey for a genin at full speed might not even be enough for a jounin to travel at full speed for an hour.

There are still bandits so close to Konoha. You can imagine how dangerous this world is.

"Teacher Yamashiro, is it really okay if we just walk slowly like this?"

"It doesn't matter. The time specified in the mission description is to arrive within 12 noon tomorrow. This is your first time out of the village, so it gives you enough time to satisfy your curiosity."

"I don't have any curiosity. How about I rush to Shangtian Town first, help you prepare a resting place in advance, and take the opportunity to find out the information about the bandits."

"No, I don't agree."

"Hey? This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. Why don't you agree?"

"...You can figure it out yourself."

"..."

Kong Ming sighed. He understood that because he was just a rookie ninja at the moment, it was a bit natural to want to leave the team and go to the mission location alone.

However, he is still quite confident in his own strength. After leaving the team, or to be precise out of the sight of Yamashiro Aoba, he can more safely separate a clone that can transform into other powerful people. Let this person The clone left the team and went to the ninja world to cause trouble.

However, Yamashiro Aoba rejected his proposal, so Kong Ming could only endure it for a while and look for opportunities in subsequent tasks.

He didn't believe that Yamashiro Aoba would stare at them throughout the entire mission.

...

They advanced slowly and leisurely all the way, and when they arrived at the lunch spot, in this place with no village in front of them and no store behind them, what Kong Ming was carrying made a difference.

Tanakaichi and Yui went to hunt some game and came back. There wasn't much, just a small wild boar and a pheasant, but it was enough to eat.

Kong Ming also brought back some dry firewood from around.

With a fire escape ninjutsu from Yamashiro Aoba, a simple fire for barbecue was created.

Wash the prey, insert branches and place it around the fire to smoke. When the subcutaneous fat of the food begins to burn and become oily, Kong Ming sprinkles the food with the condiments he brought from home at the right time.

On one side is the roasted golden and crispy wild boar, and on the other side is the roasted pheasant with a charred aroma. The aroma of the two foods blends together to give people a very pleasant feeling. Even the special Jonin Yamashiro Ao Ye couldn't help but swallow when he smelled the aroma.

"Sure enough, my thinking is correct. Can you eat barbecue without seasoning?"

Opening a roasted pork leg, Kong Ming took a bite and the meat juice splashed everywhere, making his mouth full of oil.

The fragrant smell, coupled with the roasted crispy pork skin and juicy pork, the taste is amazing when you eat it in one bite.

"...I have been a ninja for so many years, and this is the first time I have eaten such delicious barbecue in the wild."

Compared with the food he ate in the wild before on missions, the barbecue in front of him was really delicious.

Well, Yamashiro Aoye was immediately conquered by a barbecue meal. He should never say anything to Kong Ming about not bringing in seasonings again.

"Seriously Kong Ming, if you become a chef instead of a ninja, you will definitely become a famous chef."

Beside them, Yui and Tanaka Kazuya also admired the barbecue.

According to their words, they have never eaten such delicious barbecue.

"Kong Ming, your barbecue tastes very different from the barbecue restaurant owned by the Qiudao family in the village. Did you add anything?"

Let alone Tanaka Kazuo and Yui, they don’t eat barbecue often, so their judgment on barbecue is inevitably biased.

However, Yamashiro Aoba is a special Jonin. He has his own circle of friends. It is not uncommon for friends to get together from time to time to have barbecue or something.

In his mouth, he could clearly feel the difference between Kongming BBQ and Qiudao BBQ.

"Cumin...I added cumin."

"Isn't cumin a medicine? Can it also be used as a seasoning for barbecue?"

Cumin has a variety of medicinal properties, including regulating qi, appetizing, dispelling cold and dehumidifying, etc. It also has health-care effects such as anti-allergy, antioxidant, anti-platelet aggregation, and lowering blood sugar.

In the ninja world, cumin has always been used as medicine.

After all, the medicinal value of this thing is very high, and the output is rare, no one thought that this thing could also be used as a seasoning.

Only Kong Ming, who has been influenced by the Chinese barbecue culture, is so bold to use cumin, which is more expensive than gold, as a seasoning for barbecue.

...

After eating and drinking, the team members rested for a while, and then they set off on the road ahead again.

"We're going to move forward at full speed and reach Shangtian Town before dark. Do you have any objections?"

Kong Ming: "It should have been like this a long time ago."

Yui: "I have no objection."

Tanakaichi: "Me too!"

"Okay, let's move forward at full speed!"

With instructions from Yamashiro Aoba, the team began to rush towards Shangtian Town at full speed, using the distance between trees to jump, which not only saves energy, but also allows them to stand at a high place and observe the surroundings.

Among the team, Tanaka Kazuichi and Yui were lagging behind, and they had to rest on the road, so they managed to reach Ueda Town before dark.

I randomly found a hotel and Yamashiro Aoba took two rooms.

One room for myself and one room for three students.

This distribution method aroused strong protest from Kong Ming.

However, the protest was ineffective because Aoba Yamashiro was the instructor.

The first-level official crushes people to death!
