On the way to meet the client.
Rokuro glanced at the mask on Kuro's face and curled his lip. "Master, what do you actually look like? Why are you always wearing a mask? Won't the client mistake you for someone else this way?!"
Kuro didn't even turn his head. "Why do you care so much? Can't you recognize me at a glance too? Why couldn't others? My mask can only be taken off when I die!"
"Tch!" Rokuro couldn't help but complain. "Acting so mysterious, could it be that you're disfigured?!"
Kuro looked back at Rokuro and continued moving forward. "A ninja has no need to care about their appearance, and wearing a mask makes it easier to protect one's family and friends!"
Rokuro understood what Kuro meant.
It meant that if others didn't know Kuro and didn't know what he looked like, it wouldn't be easy for his enemies to track him down, thereby preventing his relatives and friends from being threatened by them.
The meaning!
Rokuro understood!
But Rokuro wasn't afraid of threats. He said noncommittally, "Master, do you still not believe in my strength? What's the harm in letting me see? I'm not afraid of retaliation either!"
Kuro still didn't turn his head and said indifferently, "You not being afraid is your business, but I don't like trouble. Stop asking about this kind of thing and just focus on being yourself!"
Rokuro was very speechless. "I took a master, yet I don't even know what my master looks like. Do you think this is appropriate?!"
Kuro didn't speak, continuing forward.
"Sigh!" Rokuro was helpless. He shook his head and stopped asking.
The two of them, one in front and one behind.
Arrived at the entrance of a weapon shop in town.
Parked at the entrance of the weapon shop were three carriages wrapped in thick black cloth. By the looks of it, they should be loaded with weapons.
So that was it!
No wonder they hired someone for protection!
These three carriages of weapons could equip a thousand-man unit.
It was only normal for bandits to be interested.
While Rokuro was looking at the carriages, a middle-aged man hurried over and bowed politely to Kuro. "Lord Kuro, can we set off right now?"
Kuro nodded and pointed at Rokuro. "This is my disciple. He is in charge of this escort mission. I am only here to ensure his safety, do you understand?"
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.
He had only issued a C-Rank mission; being able to hire the famous Kuro of Konoha already made him extremely satisfied. As for Kuro not taking action himself, he didn't mind at all.
He firmly believed!
If Kuro's disciple really got into trouble.
There was no way Kuro wouldn't help.
The middle-aged man chuckled and bowed to Rokuro. "Little brother, you must be Konoha's number one genius, Rokuro, right? I am Murano Sei. I'll have to trouble you to take care of us on this journey!"
Rokuro cast a glance at Murano Sei and nodded indifferently. "Don't worry, if there's a problem, I'll handle it!"
Murano Sei didn't actually believe in Rokuro.
But with Kuro tagging along, he wasn't worried either, and he nodded in agreement with a smile.
Everyone was present!
Then it was time to set off!
Murano Sei was also in a rush!
He needed to deliver the goods to the royal capital as soon as possible.
Gathering everyone, the carriages headed out of the town.
Rokuro and Kuro naturally sat on top of the carriages. They weren't willing to walk slowly; that was simply too boring. They were already accustomed to running fast when traveling on foot.
Leaving the town.
The surroundings quieted down.
The carriages slowly moved forward on the desolate road.
Rokuro looked at the chatting and laughing transport crew and asked Kuro beside him, "Master, looking at them, it seems they aren't worried about our journey at all!"
Kuro shot Rokuro a glance. "You're wrong. It's not that they aren't worried about problems arising; it's that they are already used to it. Do you still think you're inside Konoha Village, where wandering around at night poses no danger? Out here, you can encounter danger at any time. If they kept their faces tensed up every single day, wouldn't they suffer a mental breakdown?!"
Uh!
Kuro's words.
Reminded Rokuro of what his original body had experienced before the age of four.
Indeed!
This was not a peaceful world.
Chaos was the eternal constant here.
No wonder Konoha Village was so attractive; it was truly because Konoha was too safe.
By the looks of it, his mindset needed to change a bit, otherwise, it would be easy to cause trouble.
After thinking for a moment.
Rokuro lay down and said, "Then I'll take a rest too. If anything happens, call me, Master!"
Kuro was a bit speechless. Looking at Rokuro, he said, "Is it you doing the mission or me doing the mission? Escort missions require constant vigilance throughout the entire journey, yet you, brat, are actually going to sleep?!"
Rokuro chuckled and said, "Didn't you just say yourself, Master, that one needs to learn to relax? I think you're right, Master. A person should be a bit more relaxed!"
Kuro felt helpless and shook his head. "Smelly brat, you only listen to words that benefit you!"
Rokuro chuckled and didn't say anything more.
He just lay on top of the carriage, leisurely looking up at the sky to rest.
Having been in the Hokage world for so long, this was his first time being this leisurely. Normally, he was incredibly busy.
Either training!
Or grinding missions!
Or otherwise studying!
Now he could finally do absolutely nothing and just lie down and rest.
