Kushina immediately let out a scream.
"Ah! It's ruined, the noodles I cooked..."
Clearly, the loving lunch that Kushina had carefully prepared for Kenji was a failure, but that suited Kenji just fine.
After all, he didn't really want to eat Kushina's cooking.
Because Kushina always liked to add her own understanding to the food, the taste would become very strange.
However, Kushina herself didn't feel anything was wrong when she ate it.
After cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, Kenji and Kushina chose to eat out.
After a satisfying meal, Kenji and Kushina were strolling hand in hand down the street.
Suddenly, Kushina stopped and pointed in a direction, saying:
"Kenji, look, isn't that Mikoto over there?"
Kenji followed the direction Kushina was pointing, and sure enough, he saw Mikoto's figure.
However, Mikoto's face had an impatient expression, and behind her was a man wearing Uchiha clan clothing.
At this moment, Mikoto also noticed Kenji and Kushina.
She said something impatiently to the person behind her, then jogged towards Kenji and Kushina.
When Mikoto arrived, Kushina couldn't wait to gossip.
"Mikoto, who was that guy just now? Could he be your..."
Hearing this, a disgusted expression appeared on Mikoto's face.
"That annoying guy is named Fugaku Uchiha. He's always acting high and mighty. I really don't like him. He doesn't know what's gotten into him lately; he's been jumping around in front of me all the time, and it's so annoying."
Seeing Mikoto's troubled appearance, Kushina immediately said with shared hatred:
"That guy looks decent, but I didn't expect him to be that kind of person. Mikoto, don't worry, next time I see him, I'll definitely beat him up, so he won't dare to bother you again."
Seeing the serious expression on Kushina's face, Mikoto quickly dissuaded her:
"It hasn't gotten to that point yet, and that guy is said to have awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, so he's not weak."
"Hmph, I don't care if he has Three-Tomoe or Four-Tomoe Sharingan, I'm going to beat him up next time I see him. If I have to, I'll just borrow some chakra from that stinky fox."
Hearing Kushina say this, Kenji couldn't help but ask curiously:
"You're getting along with the Nine-Tails so quickly?"
"No, that stinky fox acts like a maniac every time it sees me. But I can forcibly borrow some chakra from 'it' to use."
After saying that, Kushina was surrounded by a layer of red chakra.
Kenji quickly stopped Kushina; otherwise, the Anbu would come knocking on their door.
Releasing the Nine-Tails' chakra on a crowded street was a bit dangerous.
Because they were a team and her family was already well-known, Mikoto had long known about Kushina's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so she wasn't curious.
Afterwards, Mikoto joined the group and they strolled around together.
In a sense, this could be considered a team-building exercise for Kenji's team.
A few days later, Kenji looked at the Anbu in front of him and fell into thought.
"Are you saying that I, a mere Chunin, have to be responsible for guarding a team of logistical supplies going to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind?"
Faced with Kenji's question, the Anbu only responded in a cold tone:
"That's the mission. However, there are also several Genin going with you. The logistics team will depart at noon tomorrow. Don't be late."
After saying that, the Anbu jumped out of the window and disappeared from Kenji's sight.
Looking at the mission details in front of him, Kenji fell into thought.
He always felt that there was something fishy about this mission, because normally, protecting a logistics team would require at least five Chunin.
Even if Konoha was short-handed due to the war, they wouldn't send only one Chunin and a few Genin to complete the mission.
Moreover, there were very few supplies to be transported, not worth the trouble of having someone specifically guard them.
The whole thing gave off an eerie feeling, as if there was a big hand pulling the strings behind the scenes.
However, the mission assignment had already been issued.
Kenji had no room to back down unless he stabbed himself with a kunai, which would allow him to withdraw from the mission due to injury.
However, that would be too high a price to pay.
Perhaps it was just a small coincidence. He was just an ordinary Chunin, and no one would go to the trouble of scheming against him. He just had to be careful.
Kenji comforted himself inwardly.
Time quickly came to the next day. After saying goodbye to Kushina and Mikoto, Kenji led a group of nameless extras on the road to the border.
For the first three days, the team didn't encounter any accidents, and everything seemed peaceful.
Just as Kenji thought he could easily "earn" a B-rank mission this time, an accident suddenly occurred on the fourth night.
Kenji was originally sleeping in his tent, but a strange sense of being watched woke him up.
When he opened his eyes and looked around, he found that the feeling of being watched was coming from a small bug near his tent.
After staring at the bug for a while, Kenji shook his head, thinking inwardly.
He had been too paranoid lately. It was just a small bug, nothing to worry about.
However, this thought was immediately overturned. Kenji suddenly sat up and summoned Charmeleon.
Bugs? That was the specialty of the Aburame clan.
If that was the case, then everything was clear. Someone was really targeting Kenji, and that person was the Konoha schemer Danzō.
Ordinary people couldn't possibly have the ability to set up this kind of scheme.
After casually crushing the bug, Kenji took Charmeleon outside the camp.
There was still a Genin on night watch outside the camp. When he saw Kenji, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
"Kenji, is something wrong?"
