Arriving at kusagakure

The continuous journey very quietly, they were surprised that Hajime could easily follow them as if nothing, some were doubtful of their strength since they were not a ninja and think it will be more of a burden than a help, but seeing how Shinku and Tsume talk to him as his equals and not as a junior said nothing.

Stopping only when the sunset on the horizon, while everyone prepared to sleep and some prepare food for dinner, the people in charge of dinner was the Akimichi with Hajime.

While the 3 were preparing dinner, the Jounin Aburame went to patrol the area, Shinku and Tsume talked about the information of the mission, leaving the other young people conversing even the Anbu joined, they were all young and Kakashi having not killed Rin and was much calmer and did not rebuke the young Anbu by talking so quietly to others as long as he had nothing to do with The Anbu.

Discussed different topics, Shisui Uchiha began chatting with Kakashi and the members of Anbu being members of the Ro team of which Kakashi is the official leader, the present members of Ro were Yamato, Itachi, Yugao, Yoji and Mina. The latter being a kunoichi of civil origin as well as Yugao, who came together to speak with the other two women there, Hana Inuzuka and Izumi Uchiha.

"Senpai, what do you think of Kurenai-san's relationship with Hajime-san? Your friend Asuma-san was behind her, no."

While everyone spoke calmly, the words of an Anbu with Kakashi attracted the eyes of others, the only one who could speak well is Kakashi that was the closest to Kurenai of all present.

"He looked for him, they argued and instead of fixing the problem he left the village to look for his ninja path, although he is my friend I will not be cleaning his mess, they are old enough to know who to be with"

"And as Hajime and Kurenai met?"

Answering quietly while I was read a little book, causing Hana to continue with an important question.

"The Hokage gave him the mission to monitor Hajime 24 hours for his delicate situation, the rest I don't know"

I no longer continue the talk because of Shinku's strong gaze, leaving everyone curious, especially the 4 girls who looked in direction at Hajime trying to answer this riddle.

"Instead of talking about the private life of a better one come to eat"

Sensing the look of the girl group Hajime, I speak to start dinner, at the same time as the members of the Aburame clan arrived.

After dinner the rotation to patrol began to be decided because they were approaching the war zone, they were likely to encounter enemy groups.

The first rotation consisted of Hajime and all the women, apparently could not sleep without getting an answer from their relationship with Kurenai.

Entering the night Hajime could be seen along with the other girls surrounding the campfire as the Inuzuka members' fellow canines checked the perimeter with their senses.

Being bombarded by countless questions, Hajime could not escape them.

The night passed quickly, getting everyone ready to leave, the girls couldn't get much information from Hajime because he changed the subject or said it was private.

Beginning the journey they approached Kusagakure slowly, finding no problems on the journey except for a small group of Iwagakure patrolling, but was quickly treated by the Jounin.

Arriving at Konoha base on the outskirts of Kusagakure, Hajime and the others went to the command center to report.

The whole place was very quiet, it did not seem that a war was taking place, the reason, both Iwagakure and his new allies withdrew momentarily, as by the intelligence gathered they expected reinforcements from Iwagakure.

While the others rested Shinku and Tsume headed to the command center,

/With Shinku/

Entering the large tent of Konoha Shinku together with Tsume entered, in the center of the tent were several tables with the information collected by the ninjas, as well as a map that they constantly updated, commanding the center, was the legendary Sannin Jiraiya, of the three Sannin he was the only one involved in the war, Orochimaru was found doing experiments on people and was marked as a traitor lowering the morals of all Konoha, Tsunade did not join the war and is traveling between peoples.

Jiraiya was stationed here due to the likelihood that Onoki the Tsuchikage would appear.

Watching the two of you enter, Jiraiya greets them and updates the latest news.

"Our intelligence manages to discover the number of reinforcements expected and there are about 600 ninjas, between Jounin and Chunin, almost 90% of Iwagakure's remaining army heads here and together with Kusa no Jitsu's allies we are at a disadvantage"

The more Jiraiya spoke, the more everyone became depressed in the room, they could not bring as many as they wanted as they were divided, they had to protect the village should another country take advantage, there were also several groups stationed near Kirigakure.

They already had trouble with Kusagakure joining Iwa's and now with the addition of 600 more ninjas, there would be many casualties in Konoha's army.

"All we have left is to ask The other group of Kusagakure, Kusa no Hana, for help to stop their comrades and not participate in the fight, to ease the situation a little, so your first mission will be to go and dialogue with the members of Kusa no Hana to avoid conflicts with Kusagakure if possible"

Finishing his words, Jiraiya sees Tsume withdraw from the scene while giving orders to the young men who accompany her.

"Hey Shinku who is the mercenary, we have so many shortages of people"

Jiraiya when he saw Hajime asks Shinku because with his simple clothes and without having any equipment with his except the katana he did not look like a ninja.

"It is Hajime, it was sent by the Hokage as a backup for the young people who come, apparently has something to do for Kusagakure and the Hokage entrusted him with the mission, even if it does not seem to be at the level of a Jounin and his skill with the sword is terrifying"

"Well if you say so I won't ask anymore"

/With Hajime/

"There is no time to rest, half of you will follow me for a mission while the others stay on patrol, what are you going to do Hajime?"

"Since there will be no battles until Iwa's reinforcements arrive, I'm going to solve my problem first"

"Ok, be careful"

Slowly moving away from the scene, Tsume leaves along with the Anbus group as Hajime bids farewell to his group with the direction the system gives.

As he walked slowly through the forest Hajime stops and sits on a small rock.

"And who commanded you to follow me, miss.

From the forest comes a shadow, a young woman in Anbu's mask appears in front of Hajime, the mask appeared to represent a cat with three red stripes, had purple smooth hair, and wore the normal dress of the Anbu, the young was Yugao Uzuki.

"I was sent with the mission of monitoring your actions and in case of treason report it to Anbu"

"..."

Hajime was stunned at the ease with which Yugao responded, he thought he would simply ignore his question without saying anything, but instead answered everything honestly.

"Why, it's not supposed to be secret, and instead you tell me all that."

"My direct leader said to be honest with you as you wouldn't hurt me knowing your personality and it would be best for the mission"

Although Yugao responded calmly but was nervous about this procedure, Kakashi had given her this mission, it should be simple but the strange thing was how to do it, she was informed of Hajime's high perception so it would not be strange for her to be found in her mission, so the Hokage had told Kakashi that the mission was only for the councils to shut up and she did not care what she did So be honest about the mission so as not to cause friction between them.

"Okay"

Without paying more attention to Yugao, Hajime continues on his way.

Advancing 2 more hours they found the front of a small mountain where a small waterfall slowly fell.

"This is the right place system"

[It is correct host the place is located inside the cave behind the waterfall]

Arriving behind the waterfall Hajime felt observed, but could not tell the location of the person which was very strange he felt came from everywhere and none at the same time.

The cave despite being behind a cave was very dry inside, walking slowly through the cave, they entered a room where you could see a small stone in the background, although simple you could see how well-kept it was.

"To the best father, we could have had –Hajime"
