Return...

" Sora is so late. Did something happen?" asked Mitsu worriedly.

After three days to gather the intelligence, Aoi, Mitsu and Riku gathered in the outskirts of the village but Sora was nowhere to be seen. Usually, Sora is a very punctual person, he is usually the first to arrive during missions, so him being late made them quite worried.

Looking at the increasingly heavy dark clouds, all of them could not help but worry if something went wrong.

Riku looked at the two genins and comforted," Maybe he was delayed by the rain. Don't worry Sora is quite strong. He might just be delayed, let's wait till the night for him."

As they were talking, a heavy burst of footsteps sounded on the rainy road. The team went to alert with their eyes looking at the new arrival but quickly relaxed seeing the familiar white-haired boy.

" Let's go quickly," said Sora occasionally looking back to see if there is any more pursuit.

Others were quite confused but looking at the urgent expression of the boy, they also quickly followed Sora.

"What happened Sora? Did you fight?" asked Riku noticing a stench of blood from the boy.

"Yes, Captain. The intelligence I got is very valuable. Let's hurry to the village otherwise there may be more pursuit." warned Sora.

The expression of others quickly became serious and used their maximum speed to rush to the village.

Konoha Hokage office

Looking at the tired expression of team Riku, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked," Team Riku, this journey has been hard work. Looking at your expression, it seems the mission did not go smoothly?"

Riku and Sora were the only ones present in the Hokage office. When returning to the village Sora briefed about the intelligence he gathered to Riku.

Learning such valuable information, Riku decided to send the other two back first, it is harmful to genin to learn such risky information.

Riku saluted the Hokage and said," Lord Hokage, this is one of the members of my team, Murasaki Sora. He is the one who has acquired the news."

Sora also saluted and said," Lord Hokage."

Sarutobi looked at the civilian genius who he thought highly of and said," Tell me about the information you have obtained."

Sora looked at the Hokage and nodded.

Then he proceeded to talk about how he learned the news from the inn, the chase of three chunins, deceiving them and killing them with a surprise technique.

The eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen could not help but widen learning about the news as well as the whole pursuit.

"This news is indeed very important. If it is true then it may even be the precursor to another war. Sora, your info is very valuable. Even your feat of killing three chunin is also amazing when you are only a genin." said Sarutobi Hiruzen looking at the boy.

For sake of not exposing his trump card, Sora said that he killed three chunin instead of a jonin and two chunin. Although killing three chunin is already outrageous, Sora had a record of defeating a chunin when graduating and the method Sora described made the info more reliable.

"OK. I will send someone for verification. Riku take your teammate to collect the reward for the information about the situation of rain village. As for the reward for the information brought by Sora, the reward will be given separately." said the Hokage.

.....

The mission was performed by the team Riku is to gather information about the distribution of ninjas in the land of rain. So, the additional information of Sora will be rewarded separately.

So, after reporting the information about the mission Team Riku received a reward of one million which is the standard for an A-rank mission.

Aoi and Mitsu were both given 150,000 taels each and Sora received 300,000 ryo for his contribution while remaining went to the jonin Riku.

Riku invited everyone to barbecue which made the atmosphere quite joyful. Even the usually face paralysis Aoi smiled a bit.

After barbecue, Everyone parted their ways.
