The main Hokage man will only hinder my speed in making hand seals

The summer sky is clear blue, with large clusters of white clouds being pushed forward by the wind.

Wherever the clouds pass, a cool shadow is cast.

In a herb field in Konoha Village, Naruto was lying on the ridge.

He looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "I want to become a mascot."

"???" Sasuke still had the weeds he had just pulled out in his hand. He had no idea what sudden idea Naruto had.

Listening to these irrelevant words, Sakura's eyes went dark again and again: "After you have rested, continue working, Naruto! This field is very big, don't be lazy!"

"But Haruka is really happy." Naruto was so envious.

She doesn't have to go to work or take on any missions. She just needs to show up when it's time.

Sakura was a little confused: "Haruka? Who is that?"

"Mascot..." Naruto's mind was already confused by the heat.

Sasuke explained for Naruto: "A friend."

"Really? It sounds like a girl's name. We can get to know each other when we have a chance." Sakura didn't delve into it further.

"Sasuke..." Naruto shouted weakly. He wanted to escape the mission. "Sister Lin and the others are having a large event. I want to join in, too."

"Yes, yes." Sasuke said casually.

Naruto continued to whine, "I don't want to pull weeds! I don't want to look for cats! I don't want to do these boring tasks!"

"Yes, yes." Sasuke didn't stop pulling out the weeds.

"My talent, my handsomeness, and my other wonderful qualities are about to be buried!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Sakura threw the weeds in her hand at Naruto: "Don't shout, it's embarrassing!"

To be honest, if I were to go on a dangerous mission like the one we did in Wave Country last time...

Sakura thought that it would be nice to bask in the sun and pull some weeds, which would make her much healthier.

"Sakura--" Naruto tortured someone else: "Let's go find Kakashi-sensei and apply for a new mission, shall we?"

"Oh? It seems like we have the same thoughts, Naruto." Kakashi walked over from the other side of the herb field.

He raised his hand and greeted the three people in the field: "Hey, good afternoon, have you finished your work?"

"If you haven't finished it yet, leave it for next time. Go home and pack your bags. We have another mission out."

Hearing that there was a new mission, Naruto instantly regained his health: "What what? What mission is it?"

"Maybe it's a task to prevent your talent, handsomeness, and other good qualities from being overshadowed." Kakashi teased Naruto.

Naruto scratched his face and smiled sheepishly: "Hehehe, anyway, it's an interesting mission!"

Kakashi gave them a rough description of the mission: "Escort the merchants to the Pure Country. It won't be as troublesome as last time. The leading caravan will have its own security. The journey will take about half a month."

"Please prepare your luggage and gather at the main entrance at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't be late."

Sakura almost rolled her eyes at Kakashi: "Kakashi-sensei, you're the one who loves being late the most."

"Sorry, sorry, the path of adults is full of obstacles. Please understand." Kakashi slowly watched Intimate Paradise leave.

Naruto tilted his head in confusion as he thought, "Kuni of Seiryuu? That sounds familiar."

"...Are you serious?" Sasuke didn't know for a moment if Naruto was pretending.

Naruto used to go there every now and then, but it was only in the past two years that he didn't go there so often.

Sounds familiar? Is he really not acting?

"Wait, give me a hint and I'll remember it right away." Naruto was trying hard to recall.

Okay, I didn’t install it. I’m definitely an idiot.

Sasuke held his forehead, not wanting to see Naruto act stupidly, "Look at the clothes you're wearing."

Clothes? Naruto lowered his head and touched his clothes. The clothes were sent by Qinghe and the others. What does it have to do with Qing Kingdom... Oh, I remember!

"Because, usually they always say the main island, the south area, the outer area and so on..." Naruto almost forgot that Haru and the others were in the Land of Clear Sky.

"Eh? Has Naruto been there?" Sakura felt a little surprised.

That place only had its approximate location roughly marked on the map. When did Naruto go there?

"Of course..." Naruto was about to admit.

Sasuke took over his words: "Of course not, he probably saw the introduction in some newspaper."

"Yes, yes." Naruto responded and scratched his hair: "I read the introduction that there are different areas there."

"Did you introduce the local customs and culture? Let me see if I need to bring anything extra." Sakura did not doubt them.

"Bring more money." Naruto and Sasuke answered in unison.

"Huh?" Sakura was stunned. Bring money?

Sasuke introduced to Sakura: "They focus on developing business. Basically, money can solve everything. We just need to bring enough necessities for the journey."

Naruto nodded in agreement: "Yeah, yeah, it's too heavy to carry, and it will be troublesome for us on the road."

"Really? Okay." Sakura is not someone who likes to make things difficult for herself.

Since we can travel light, let's keep things simple.

The next morning, at the gate of Konoha.

Several merchants who had placed commissions had been waiting early. All the goods had been tied to the carriages, and they were just waiting for the Konoha ninjas to set off together.

Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura were the third group to arrive, and before them, there were four other ninjas.

Kakashi, unsurprisingly, was last.

Naruto and the other three were carrying small backpacks and staring at the two weirdos in green bodysuits who were carrying huge luggage on the opposite side.

"Wow! The eyebrows are so thick!" Naruto complained to Sasuke and Sakura in a low voice.

Might Guy on the other side gave Naruto a shining grin: "You are Kakashi's students, right? Please give me your guidance!"

"Huh..." Sakura was a little scared. What kind of weird uncle is this?

"Hello? Who are you?" In the end, it was Sasuke who stepped forward to save the situation.

"I am Might Guy, Konoha's proud blue beast, Kakashi's most important rival! Young man, come and enjoy your youth together!"

It would have been fine if Might Guy didn't introduce them, but as soon as he did, Naruto and Sakura hugged Sasuke even tighter.

"Is there really such a weirdo in Konoha?" Naruto seriously doubted.

Sakura prayed madly: "Kakashi-sensei must defeat him."

Speaking of Kakashi, Kakashi has finally arrived.

"Oh my, you're all here early." Kakashi said lazily.

"Teacher Kakashi!" Naruto and the others all walked to Kakashi.

To be honest, Might Guy's "youth" makes them nervous.

"Yo, my eternal friend and rival Kakashi." Might Guy smiled brightly again.

Kakashi raised his hand to greet him as usual: "Good morning."

"My students, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura."

Might Guy also introduced his students to them: "My proud disciples, Lee, Ningci, and Tenten."

Little Li is another weirdo in a green tights, and his outfit looks like a copy and paste of Might Guy.

Neji looked like a Hyuga, and he and Tenten were both wearing proper clothes with white as the main color, looking so normal that Naruto and the others were touched.

This commission was not considered dangerous, but considering the quantity and value of the goods, as well as the destination that had never been visited before, Konoha still arranged two teams.

Kakashi's Team 7, and Might Guy's Team 3.

It's six fifty now, but we can set off as soon as everyone is here.

"Oh! Let's go to the Land of Purity!" Naruto was very happy.

He still remembered what Qinghe said, that when he could reach Qing Kingdom with his own body, his parents would wake up.

"Yeah." Sasuke couldn't contain his joy. How could he not be happy when he could be reunited with his family again?

It was hard to tell whether Kakashi was happy or angry, but he seemed to be a little melancholy: "The Land of Purity..."

Kakashi has never dared to think about this place seriously.

Whenever he thought about it, he would remember how powerless he was back then.

But it would be good to go at least once. After so many years, it’s time for him to visit Lin’s grave.
