Chapter 387 Exorcism Mission? A Temporarily Assembled Female Ninja Team
"Exorcism? By the way, teacher, do you really think ghosts exist in the world?" Upon hearing the mission details, Ishikawa asked instinctively with a strange look in his eyes.
Are you suggesting we make a ninja do the work of a mage or monk? Is that even reasonable?
However, he seemed to vaguely recall this so-called exorcism mission...
"I also think it's impossible, but the client is so confident that I'm not entirely sure myself. So this mission can only be undertaken by a select few, and I'm counting on you for now!"
“After all, besides the Mangekyou Sharingan, only your Spirit Transformation Technique or Sealing Technique can deal with a ghost in the village.” Kakashi shrugged, making Ishikawa instantly realize.
No wonder Runtu went straight to him, the deputy captain of the ANBU, after he stopped going there; now I understand...
“Alright, I’ll take this mission.” Ishikawa nodded, secretly deciding to have Jugo and Shukaku take the fictitious Rin on a trip, while he would attend the Fourth Hokage’s wedding.
Even if something unexpected happens, he can use the spirit transformation technique to instantly return to his original form after attending the wedding.
Ishikawa had a beautiful and well-thought-out plan, but just as he was about to leave, Kakashi stopped him. "Ishikawa, this mission is not suitable for the Anbu because it was commissioned by the Land of Birds. Therefore, you will be forming a temporary team as a Konoha Jonin to carry out this B-rank mission."
"Huh??" Ishikawa was stunned for a moment, not expecting Kakashi to catch him off guard.
Therefore, he was not comfortable letting Shukaku travel with the others.
"So, who are my teammates?" Ishikawa paused, then asked helplessly, pulling himself out of his thoughts.
Kakashi coughed and was about to speak when the door was suddenly pushed open and a familiar figure rushed in. "Hehehe, of course your teammate is me! Ishikawa-kun."
Ishikawa turned his head at the sound, then his pupils contracted and his breath hitched. "Karin!!"
As far as the eye could see, Karin had completely changed her usual style of dress. Her previous trousers had been replaced with hot shorts from the Shippuden era, and a ninja tool pouch was tied to her fair, long legs.
Her upper body consisted of a black fishnet midriff-baring lining and a Konoha-style Chunin vest on top, with a headband and a simple red ponytail.
In an instant, the youthful energy unique to young girls wafted over...
Most importantly, Karin's otherwise unremarkable chest was now showing signs of budding beauty, which made Ishikawa look at her with new respect.
Could it be that secondary development occurred after the transplantation of interstitial cells?
[Haha, Ishikawa-kun was indeed surprised by my hotness. That's it, I've finally found the shortcut to love.] Seeing Ishikawa's sparkling eyes, Karin suppressed her shyness and pretended to be generous, secretly overjoyed as she showed off her figure.
Finally, she saw a different look in Ishikawa's eyes...
"Ahem, teacher, is it just me and Karin?" Ishikawa turned around and asked awkwardly, feeling Karin's intense gaze upon him.
To be honest, Karin looks rather tempting! But that's not enough. He can't lose the papaya for the peach, and now is not the time for dating games.
“Of course not. A four-person team is the standard configuration for a ninja squad. Besides Karin, who is proficient in sealing techniques, you have two other teammates.” Kakashi said seriously, then turned to look at the door, “You two can come in!”
The next second, Hinata and Ino walked in to Ishikawa's surprise.
"Why are there only the two of them? Where are the teammates from Class 8 and Class 10?" Ishikawa asked suspiciously when he saw the two. Logically speaking, the opposing team shouldn't have split up.
"Well, the Ninja Academy is holding a survival exercise, and Shikamaru and the others need to participate, so we've split up temporarily," Kakashi explained simply, tossing the mission scroll to Ishikawa.
"The client, Mr. Chishima, is in the waiting room on the first floor. You may go find him now!"
"Yes, Lord Hokage." The four of them immediately acknowledged the order in unison and turned to leave.
"You all go back and prepare now. I'm going to see the client. We'll meet at the main entrance in ten minutes." After instructing Karin and the other two girls, Ishikawa quickly went downstairs without looking back.
This is really troublesome. This makes him even less comfortable letting Shukaku go on missions for him! So, he'll just have to miss Minato's wedding...
"Honestly, I was going to ask about Sasuke, but I didn't expect Ishikawa-senpai to be so decisive." Ino said dejectedly as she watched Ishikawa's retreating figure, then nodded to Karin and Hinata before turning to go home to pack up.
Hinata gave Karin a smile before turning and leaving. The two of them, along with Karin, the transfer student, had graduated in the same class, so they weren't strangers and weren't overly polite.
"Hehe, I must seize this opportunity. Ishikawa-kun, you can't escape..." Karin said to herself with a smile after the two left.
As he spoke, he unconsciously puffed out his chest, a confident smile appearing on his lips as he quickly left.
Ten minutes later, at the gates of Konoha.
"Everyone, he is the client for this mission, Lord Chishima of the Land of Birds." Ishikawa, dressed as a Shinnin, pointed to the bespectacled man next to him and then told the group to set off.
Seeing this, Karin's eyes darted around, and she took two steps forward to Chishima's side. "Speaking of which, Chishima-kun, are you sure you hired us to exorcise ghosts? Do ghosts really exist where you live?"
Almost the instant Karin finished speaking, Hinata and Ino simultaneously saw a flicker of fear and timidity deep in their eyes.
As girls, they are naturally filled with fear of ghosts and monsters. Even Karin, who is usually the bravest, was outwardly strong but inwardly trembling with anxiety...
Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked that question directly!
"Of course, Lord Mengzong saw it with his own eyes and confirmed it at close range, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Konoha to seek help." Chishima said seriously, which immediately startled Karin and the other two girls.
Ghosts! They really exist!!
Meanwhile, Ishikawa's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he realized something. "Lord Mengzong, are you the daimyo of the Bird Country?"
"No, no, no, Lord Mengzong is merely a high-ranking monk from the Bird Country, not a daimyo. The current daimyo is Lord Lu, the son of the previous daimyo, who has only recently assumed the position."
"Therefore, this task is also a key task to stabilize the political situation, prevent the people from panicking, and help Lord Hebi secure his position as daimyo."
"Oh? A political mission..." Ishikawa curled his lip in a sarcastic tone, finally remembering this boring daily routine.
He had long forgotten the specific details, only remembering that the so-called spirits were actually the daimyo in disguise, and that behind it all was a political game between the two sides.
Thinking of this, Ishikawa's lips curled into a smile as he came up with an idea. "Then, dealing with the ghosts will be left to you three, Karin! Hmm, consider it a training opportunity for you..."
