12.

"I can't get used to getting up so early." - The blond boy said to the black-haired boy, who was standing near a large closed gate.

"It can't be helped, look at Yui-chan, she doesn't complain even though she hardly opens her eyes." - The boy replied.

"I'm not that tired. It's just my new training." - The girl lied without blinking.

"Ichimaru-kun, what's wrong with your appearance?" - The blonde asked curiously.

"I'm ready for anything out there, there is no peaceful area where one can walk without worrying about being ambushed." - Ichimaru replied. He wore a mask like Kakashi, but in addition to that, he changed his hair color and put on the sunglasses with brightness control. Although his outfit with filter + sunglasses was expensive for a genin, it could save his life one day.

"I can understand the mask and the sunglasses, but why did you change your hair color?" - Yui asked.

"How many shinobi from Konoha have white hair?"

"Kakashi-kun, hmm, I also heard that Jirai, the legendary sanin, has white hair, aaaand some old men."

"Exactly. That means it will be harder for the enemy to recognize me."

"Ooh." - 3 voices said at the same time. When Gonda and Yui realized that they heard 3 voices instead of 2, they turned around and saw their teacher.

"Yo kids."

"Good morning Kushina-sensei."' - 3 of them said.

 "Are you ready for your first B rank mission?"

"Emm, Sensei, this mission is C-rank." -Gonda corrected.

"Hahaha. ... Yes of course, it was just your test. Hahaha. You passed." - She tried to laugh it off. But when she saw their embarrassed faces, she changed the subject.

"Okay, enough with the greetings." - She said in a serious tone. - "We already talked about it, so you know everything. If we do everything right, this mission won't take long. We have to find a merchant named Kokuri Yutiko and steal his business documents, according to our information, he has hired some Shinobi from the Waterfall Land to protect him until the next meeting with his partner in 3 days. He may also hire some mercenaries, so we have to be careful."

"Hai."

"Okay, let's go, we need 1 day to reach the city."

After that, they went through the small door and moved at high speed to the northwest. On their way, they passed a few villages and 2 cities. Their speed was about 60 km/h, they only stopped 4 times for half an hour to rest and recover a bit. At this speed, they reached their destination 1 hour after midnight. The children were very tired from the journey.

"Good job we arrived even earlier, than I expected. Almost 1000 km in 14 hours, only a few Genins can do the same." – Kushina.

"Yes, Sensei, but I-he, no, we-we hope that when we get back, we won't have to run at the same speed?" - Gonda asked with a sniff.

"If you complete this mission without casualties, then no. However, we have to deliver the document to the nearest post of our village, but that's only 100 km from here."

***Sigh*** - "It was tiring, but I liked the way we were traveling, the sights of wild nature and wild beasts, but a few times we were in danger. We passed a few dozen territories of C-ranked and higher beasts. A C-class animal can kill an average Chunin 1-on-1. Some of them live with their herd, so it's dangerous to run into them. Fortunately, if a team has a good sensor, they can avoid these areas.

"Now we have to go to the hotel and get some sleep. Tomorrow, we will start to gather the information and at midnight tomorrow, we will start our mission," Kushina said. - Kushina said. After that, they followed her and in 10 minutes, they were already asleep in their futons, Kushina was the first to watch, so the kids went straight to sleep.

Ichimaru was the last to watch the surroundings. At seven o'clock, everyone gathered in the dining hall and Kushina began.

"First of all, we need to find out in which hotel Yutiko is staying, here is his picture, remember his face. If you see him, go back to the hotel and tell my clone or Ichimaru's clone and we will come back. Any questions? ... Good, then after we eat, we will leave."

After some time, they separated and began to search. Of course, they were under the Henge. Ichimaru searched the western part of the city. Right now, he could cover the whole city with his senses, but he couldn't recognize anyone, no need to say that he couldn't find an unknown person in the city. So he just walked around, he even sent some clones to search. After 3 hours, Yui found the merchant and they came back to the hotel.

The merchant was staying in a hotel in the north of the city. When they arrived at the place. They sent Gonda's insects forward and Ichimaru and Kushina started to focus their senses. After half an hour, they had gathered all the information and returned to their hotel room.

"Well, we have to finish our information. I'm only here to listen and correct you if you make any mistakes, so start sharing your information." - Kushina told them in a serious tone. They looked at each other and Ichimaru began.

"I sensed 2 genin level chakras, 1 chunin and 1 special jonin. I think it's a team of Genins, but one of them has a bigger reserve than the others. 1 Genin is a weak sensor, but she can sense everything in and around the hotel. We need to eliminate her and somehow distract the Special Jonin's attention. At the same time, we'll have an opportunity to steal the documents." - Kushina just nodded.

"My insects have found the place where I believe the documents are stored." - Gonda.

"So we have to get the attention of the Special Jonin and somehow take care of the girl." -Yui explained.

"We can hypnotize some of the waiters at the hotel to add some sleeping poison to their food, but I don't think the shinobis would eat it, they have their own food, just like us." - Ichimaru said.

"Hmmm, we can still do that to get rid of mercenaries and if we are lucky enough, even ninjas, but Special Jonin is a problem." - Yui.

"I can take care of the girl, with my Mind Transfer Jutsu, I can take control of her body for 7 minutes without her noticing. Meanwhile, Gonda's insect can sting their commander, he won't be poisoned, he can choose to go to the hospital or take some time to heal himself." - Ichimaru said.

"Or if that doesn't work, we can poison the trader so that it looks like an assassination attempt. In that case, Special Jonin will have no choice but to take him to the hospital to save him, but the problem is that someone will stay to guard the documents." - Gonda.

"Ichimaru-kun, how far can you take control of your victim?" -Yui.

"HM, from about 150 meters." - 'a lie' - "and I need to stay within 300m radius to not lose control." - "Another lie.

"In that case, we can make it. What do you think Kushina-sensei?" - Gonda asked.

"It can work, Ichimaru's clone can take care of his body while he is unconscious. Yui will have to control her Genjutsu, she is not that good at illusions, to control her victims from a distance, even if they are only civilians. You can take the document out of the safe, but you need to know the code. - Kushina explained to them.

"I already know it." - Gonda.

"Good, then when do you plan to act?" - Kushina.

"Before dinner." - Yui.

"Well then, what do you have to do now?" - Kushina wanted to check how well they learned what she taught them. Even he wasn't good at learning, but she explained well, she even enjoyed it sometimes.

 "We have to prepare the ways for the retreat, in case something goes wrong." - Ichimaru.

"GOOD. Okay, do your job." -Kushina. After she said that, they went out and started to set some traps.

At seven o'clock, they started their plan. At the beginning, Ichimaru took control of the sensor to let Yui approach the enemy's hotel undetected. She successfully infiltrated the hotel through the back door and hypnotized 2 waitresses, who put a sleeping poison in the dishes and also put some poison in the wine that the merchant wanted to drink.

The plan with the stinging was a failure, but Special Jonin didn't notice anything suspicious about the insect, because Gonda only sent an insect without chakra, he couldn't control it directly, but his insects could. However, after 1 minute, everyone noticed that merchant couldn't breathe, ninjas became alert and commander asked his sensor if there were any enemies, but after hearing from here, negative answer. He ordered his 2 subordinates to stay in the hotel to defend the documents, Ichimaru's victim should've gone with him, so he started to alter her memories. It didn't take long, but he still had to follow them for a while on the back of his clone, even though he could already control EmenIES without losing consciousness.

Meanwhile, Gonda and Yui attacked 2 Genins, Yui distracting them and Gonda's insects helping her while Gonda got the documents from the safe. When he got them, he tried to help her, but the enemy used Water Ball Jutsu to attack Yui, she couldn't dodge it, so the only thing she could do was to put her energized sword on the way of the ball and try to cut it.

She partially succeeded, but she still took some damage and flew back a few meters, Gonda caught her and started to retreat. The second genin tried to block their path, but the shurikens wouldn't let him. As they left the city and entered the forest, they heard a huge explosion and screams. Their trap had worked perfectly. Gonda and Yui didn't stop moving and headed for the rendezvous point. After 14 minutes, they arrived and after explaining the situation, Kushina ordered them to move.

In 1 hour they arrived at the rendezvous point (Author: I don't know how these places are called :\ ) and gave them the document. They planned to rest and then continue towards the village.

"Good job overall. You made some mistakes, like not taking care of the ninjas first and counting on Special Jonin not spotting an insect and killing it, and Gonda, you can't control your insects without constant attention to help your teammates." - She looked at them and after seeing understanding in their eyes, she continued, "Now you understand that you are not powerful enough to fight alone. Also, you need to learn some techniques, normally, shinobi only learn elementary ninjutsu after becoming a chunin, but as you could see, not everyone does that. I think you are ready to learn some elemental ninjutsus, so when we return, I will check your affinities and teach you some C-rank techniques. - Seeing their happy smiles and their sincere thanks, Kushina just laughed and waved her hand.

She really is a good person. It's sad that the village almost cut off her contact with the Uzumakis. She only visited them a few times. Kushina lives in Mito's house, while the Uzumakis live in another part of the village, like the Yamanakas. So I hadn't met her before.
