"Okay guys, it's already 6 o'clock. We only have 6 hours left to complete our mission. So we move in 15 minutes." - Gonda said and he started to fold his chair, after which he stored it in a scroll made by Ichimaru. He got it as his birthday present from him. and not only him, everyone from their group has the scroll like this.

After the fall of Uzushio, the survivors moved into Konoha. But even though Konoha allowed them to stay in their village, they still needed to earn money, and the obvious choice for them was to start making Fuin scrolls. Fuin scrolls were used in almost every house, for example in refrigerators, ovens and so on. Before the redheads came to the village, Konoha bought the scrolls and seals from Uzushio, even though they were allies, scrolls were expensive. But after the redheads started working directly in the village, the price dropped by 25%.

Currently, the price of a small memory scroll is 1200 Ryos, almost the same price as a B-ranked mission. So you can understand how good a gift it is.

"Okay, now we have to find the F ranked Black Bear, kill it and take its two eyes and bring them to the instructor," Ichimaru said, this time he was the commander of the team, so the others listened to him without interrupting. - Thanks to Gonda's insects, we already know where to find him. Don't let your guard down, even if it's only an F-class beast, its attack and defense are still dangerous for us." - He finished speaking and looked at Gonda, Kakashi and Junishiyo Gotu, he was his classmate and subordinate in the survival test.

After he saw that everyone understood and was ready, he started to move in the direction where Gonda's insects were flying. In 24 minutes they reached the entrance of the cave. It was 4 meters high and there was some noise coming from inside.

"Okay, now we set the trap in front of the entrance of the cave. It won't be enough to kill him, but with the trap inside, we'll have about 5-8 seconds to finish him off with Kakashi's sword. Gotu, you set the wired trap, don't try to dig too deep, you don't have much time for that."

"Okay, Ichimaru-kun, I will dig it about 20 cm with some kunais in the middle." - Gotu replied confidently, he was good at setting traps. Maybe he will be assigned to the defense division in the future.

"Okay, we count on you." - He nodded slightly and continued - "Kakashi, you have to wait near the entrance until Gonda's insects lure the bear out of his cave and you have to attack him the moment he falls to the ground. Any questions? "

"What are you going to do, Ichimaru senpai?" - Kakashi asked focusing on his face.

"I am going to insure you." - Ichimaru replied and saw that Kakashi wanted to say something but he didn't, even if he thought that he could do everything perfectly without help, but he knew that he was his commander and to follow orders was written in the blood of shinobi.

"Okay, if no one has any objections, then let's go! "

In about 5 minutes the trap was set and a group of insects flew into the cave. In 20 seconds they heard a loud roar and in 3 seconds a 3 meter tall bear came out of the entrance. He had black fur all over his body and a blue nose. He was very angry because of the insects and didn't see the trap he was in.

At the same moment, Kakashi dashed towards the fallen bear with his silver katana unsheathed. He covered the gap between them in 2 seconds, but when he was in position and started to move to stab the bear in its head, the bear suddenly reacted to the attack and tried to cut him into tiny pieces with its sharp claw, Kakashi saw this but he couldn't stop its attack and just as he thought, he would die. The bear stopped moving, Kakashi didn't lose the opportunity and with his maximum power, he pressed on the sword and pierced the bear's head, after which it fell to the ground.

"Heh, that was close." - came the voice of a Gonda from his left.

"I thought he was dead." - Gotu added.

"I was ready for that, the only problem is the timing to cancel my technique. It is still too difficult to undo the ninjutsu right after it is used." - Ichimaru murmured the last sentence in dissatisfaction.

"Thank you, Ichimaru-senpai." - Kakashi nodded his head.

"No problem." - Ichimaru waved his hand. - "Okay, now Kakashi help me take his eyes and we can go back to the base."

"Eh, finally I'm tired of the forest." - Gotu complained and shook his head.

After 2 minutes, they were ready. But despite the plan, Ichimaru stopped and took out a large red scroll. He opened it and placed it on the bear with the red part on top and in a second, the black beast disappeared in a puff of smoke. He was placed in the pocket dimension to which the scroll was the only "door".

2 out of 3 spectators looked at it with awe and a touch of envy in their eyes. But they said nothing.

"Ichimaru-kun, can you already create the scrolls to store living objects?" - Gotu asked curiously.

"Yes and no, it's too difficult to create scrolls to store, for example, some seriously wounded shinobi. Although I can create a scroll in which even the speed of energy movement is reduced, to the extent that you can say that time is stopped, but it needs a colossal amount of chakra to store someone there even for 1 second so that the subject doesn't die. As for standard living object storing scroll, where person is placed is stasis, it's structure is really hard, you must take into account each function of the body and prescribe the appropriate instructions, as well as what to do in a non-standard situation" - as he finished speaking and placed the scroll in his backpack, he looked at it and said:

"Okay, let's go, we've already wasted a lot of time. We will lose a lot of points."

Everyone nodded automatically. In 42 minutes, they arrived at the base and surprisingly, they were 4th. It wasn't the best result either, but it was better than they had calculated.

"Good job, you did well with the bear, good coordination and teamwork. Not like some other team where the commander decided to arrange a duel between MEN". - The instructor smiled ironically and looked in the direction of the wounded Arata and his team. Arata couldn't look into the instructor's eyes because he was too ashamed. After 3 hours, the last team arrived at the camp, which was 2 km away from Konoha.

"Okay, kids, tomorrow we have a lesson and we will discuss your mistakes. Now, we can go back and when we arrive, bring your wounded comrades to the hospital. Okay, now move."
