I'm starving,\" he called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make food? Are you kidding? When have I ever cooked? Get your lazy self up and go take a bath,\" Tsunade snapped, grabbing Nawaki and tossing him toward the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After you're done, go buy some food. I'm hungry too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most siblings had an older sister taking care of her younger brother, but in his case, it was the other way around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My sister is so harsh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nawaki thought, rubbing the sore spot where he'd landed. His exhaustion had suddenly disappeared, replaced by a strong urge to get cleaned up and buy food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, knowing Tsunade, he'd be in for another round of scolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a rough life, but there was no one he could complain to since everyone he might talk to was just as scared of Tsunade as he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assignment of teams for new genin was finally complete, and under the guidance of their assigned Jonin, the squads began taking on missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were tasks like catching stray cats, picking up trash, or even helping with farming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire mission office was in complete chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are there no decent missions left?\" Mikoto asked, noticing that Takuya had been staring at the mission scrolls for a long time, his frown deepening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All the good ones are taken,\" Takuya replied, frustrated. As soon as the new genin squads were released, most of the suitable D-rank missions were snatched up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikoto peered over his shoulder at the scrolls, her expression turning sour. She didn't want to be stuck with the leftover tasks, especially not something like cleaning toilets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Takuya wasn't thrilled about that either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he turned his attention to the C-rank missions. Generally, he and Mikoto were capable of handling those.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we take this mission?\" Takuya asked, pointing to one of the scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mission office worker glanced at it and replied, \"Your squad can take it, but the client is in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a hurry. They need to arrive at the Daimyo's residence by noon tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, we'll take it,\" Takuya decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there were no suitable D-rank missions left, he chose a C-rank mission to escort a merchant to the Daimyo's residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pay for this mission was on the lower end for C-rank tasks, but Takuya didn't care about that. He was more interested in the mission itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Escorting someone to the Daimyo's residence was far better than cleaning toilets or babysitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After handing over their ninja IDs and accepting the mission, Takuya and Mikoto headed to the village gate to wait for the client.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone from the mission office would notify the client to meet them there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't take long before the merchant, looking quite flustered, arrived at the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Takuya and Mikoto were quite young, the client didn't dare question their abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Konoha, after all-the strongest of the Five Great Shinobi Villages and the one with the most mission requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another C-rank mission wouldn't make much difference to Konoha, but if a client doubted the abilities of Konoha's ninjas or caused trouble, the village had the right to cancel the mission entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And worse, they might even get taken in for questioning by the police force, suspected of being a spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the necessary paperwork, the three of them set out from Konoha, heading toward the Daimyo's residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchant wasn't much of a talker, remaining silent throughout the journey, seemingly anxious to get back to the Daimyo's residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay alert. We might face some trouble on the road,\" Takuya whispered to Mikoto when they scouted ahead together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something about this escort mission felt off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Low pay, a rush job, and the client's anxious demeanor-all signs pointed to trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe someone had their eye on him-whether ordinary people or other ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it,\" Mikoto replied, her expression turning serious as she scanned the surroundings for any signs of an ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had just been Takuya and Mikoto, they could have made it to the Daimyo's residence in a day, but with an ordinary person in tow, the journey would take much longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should get some rest. I'll take the first watch,\" Takuya offered when they stopped to camp for the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikoto looked concerned. \"How about I take the first half of the night? It'll be tough for you to stay up all night, especially since we have to keep moving tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm fine,\" Takuya said, seizing the moment to pinch Mikoto's cheek playfully, pulling her face into a wide, exaggerated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really hits hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out you couldn't mess with a girl's face-even if she was still young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya rubbed the back of his hand, which was now red from the slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikoto, despite being teased, didn't resist anymore. She obediently leaped up into a nearby tree, settling down against the trunk to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two look great together, kid. I didn't have such a pretty girlfriend when I was your age,\" the merchant joked, warming himself by the campfire while reminiscing about his younger\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's not my girlfriend,\" Takuya replied with a smile, tossing a few more sticks into the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better get some sleep, old man. We've got an early start tomorrow, and you want to reach the Daimyo's residence by noon, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah, you're right,\" the merchant muttered, realizing Takuya wasn't in the mood for chatting. With a sigh, he leaned against a nearby rock and closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya added a bit more wood to the fire before climbing into a tree some distance from the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he summoned Snowy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Snowy, you're on watch duty tonight. If anyone approaches, let me know, no matter their intentions. And if they mean harm, take them out,\" Takuya instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way he was going to stay up all night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's what Snowy was for. She didn't get out much, so this was the perfect chance for her to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stretch her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving her orders, Snowy disappeared into the forest, leaving Takuya to rest easy and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>close his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, sleeping outdoors was never comfortable. He tossed and turned against the rough tree bark for a while before finally drifting off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night passed without incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing happened, which wasn't too surprising since this was peacetime. The Land of Fire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was generally peaceful, especially near Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dawn, the team had a quick meal and continued their journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like we're in for some trouble,\" Takuya noted, surprised that the calm night had given\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>way to issues not long after they resumed their journey.\u003C\u002Fp>",1140,"2026-06-05T21:22:30.528Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef1c7f876907fb58cc0b413ba8f55c03813fd75e415a2a7658a9b39272347960","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-24","naruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-chapter-22",2215,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-i-traveled-with-a-max-level-account-cover.jpg"]
