Looking at the strange expression on Tsunade's face, Kenji had already guessed what the next day would be like. However, he had already prepared himself mentally.
After all, in this world, if you weren't prepared to kill others, you would be killed by them.
Time quickly came to the next day. Under the expectant gazes of Kushina and Mikoto, Tsunade accepted a mission to exterminate bandits.
Afterwards, the group set off towards the outside of Konoha Village.
Because the location of this mission was some distance from Konoha, it was estimated that the journey would take about two days.
After all, no foolhardy bandits would commit crimes around Konoha Village. Even if there were any, they would quickly be eliminated as experience points.
After leaving the village, Kushina and Mikoto looked around at everything with novelty.
Although the scenery here was no different from that in the village, the two girls still felt a strange sense of pleasure.
This was a common reaction among ninjas who were leaving the village for the first time, a feeling of unease and joy after leaving their comfort zone.
However, Kenji's performance was somewhat different. Apart from becoming more vigilant, he didn't show any other reactions.
Seeing this, Tsunade couldn't help but pat him on the head, complaining.
"You're going out of the village for the first time, right? Why do I feel like you're not excited at all? You're just like that annoying guy, Orochimaru."
Kenji looked up at Tsunade, then responded blandly.
"What's there to be excited about? We're not here for a picnic, and leaving the village's barrier means that danger could come at any time, right?"
"Tch, overly mature kids aren't likable at all. Relax, with me here, there won't be any danger."
Although she said that, Tsunade was quite satisfied with Kenji's performance.
As a ninja, the most important thing was to have reverence for everything. A lion uses all its strength to hunt a rabbit. People who are too complacent will have grass growing taller than them on their graves.
Before they knew it, the sun was about to join the moon.
Tsunade looked up at the darkening sky and immediately said.
"Alright, let's stop here for today, let's find a place to set up camp."
Before long, everyone found a stream and set up tents on a relatively flat clearing.
Looking at the fish swimming in the stream, Kenji silently looked at Charmander.
Charmander nodded. It raised its small claws, which were flashing with electricity, and punched the stream.
With a "crackling" sound, the fish that had been leisurely swimming in the stream instantly floated to the surface with their bellies up.
It seemed that Charmander's Thunder Punch was quite effective.
If this were the world of Pokémon, Charmander would have had champion-level qualifications at the very least.
This commotion naturally attracted the attention of Tsunade and the others, who were not far away.
"Your summoning beast can even use Lightning Release?"
Tsunade looked at Charmander with a look of novelty.
"It's an ability that Charmander has from birth. It's more like a bloodline limit than a ninjutsu."
Kenji explained. He had once thought about teaching Charmander ninjutsu.
A Charizard that could create a Rasengan and use the Flying Thunder God Technique would be awesome.
But unfortunately, Charmander didn't have chakra, so it couldn't learn any ninjutsu at all.
"Oh, so your summoning beast has good talent. It's still in its infancy, right? It might be something great when it grows up."
Kenji nodded, then reached out and patted Charmander's head.
Under Kenji's stroking, Charmander comfortably narrowed its eyes.
Given that Charmander already had the strength to rival a Chunin, it might have the strength of a Jonin after evolving into a Charmeleon. Later on, there were also Charizard and even Mega Evolution forms.
Maybe Kenji could rely on Charmander to dominate the ninja world in the future. This was much more useful than the Love Mole.
Even after a month, Kenji was still brooding over the Love Mole skill.
It was clearly a gold-level reward, but he had drawn such a tasteless and useless chicken rib.
Whenever he thought of this, Kenji couldn't help but slap his thigh.
But the lottery wheel could be spun again tonight; hopefully, he could draw something useful this time.
After picking up all the fish floating on the stream, Kenji began to cook today's dinner.
After all, who would want to eat cold, hard rations when they could have a hot meal?
He could use some of these fish to make grilled fish and use the rest to cook a pot of fish soup.
On the way here, Kenji had noticed that there were many edible mushrooms in the nearby forest.
Although it was Kenji's first time trying mushrooms and fish soup, he thought the taste shouldn't be too bad.
After dinner, Tsunade began to make arrangements for tonight's watch.
Although the ninja world was relatively peaceful, all kinds of accidents could happen at night. Therefore, it was essential to arrange for people to keep watch.
Kenji and Mikoto would be on duty for the first half of the night, while Tsunade and Kushina would be responsible for the second half.
After making these arrangements, Tsunade yawned and walked into the tent.
And Kushina walked up to Kenji, waving her small fist as a warning.
"Kenji, you absolutely must not bully Mikoto; otherwise, I won't let you off."
"Don't you trust my character? Go to sleep, I'm counting on you for the second half of the night."
Kenji looked at Kushina helplessly.
"Hmph, I'm warning you because I know what kind of person you are. Tsunade-sensei is really something. Why didn't she arrange for me to keep watch with you?"
Seeing that Kushina's mouth wouldn't stop once it opened, Kenji could only give Mikoto an apologetic look in the distance, then forcefully pushed Kushina's shoulders and sent her into another tent.
Soon, the entire camp became quiet, leaving only the crackling sound of the burning bonfire.
Charmander had leaned against Kenji's leg and started to sleep.
Although Charmander already had the strength of a Chunin, it still needed a lot of sleep because it was still in its developmental stage.
Kenji had originally wanted to let Charmander return to the summoning world, but Charmander refused to, insisting on guarding Kenji.
Thinking of what had just happened, Kenji's gaze towards Charmander became even gentler.
