Naruto: The legend of Kiba

Chapter 122: The Other Two

Following Morino Shinsuke all the

way, Kiba arrived at a meatball shop in the village called Konoha Maruko. The

business was evidently very good. When they walked in, several tables were

already occupied by people enjoying tea and cakes. Kiba also saw a familiar

face.

A woman with slightly curled long

hair and a pair of red eyes twinkling with a smile was sitting opposite a cute,

chubby little girl, about six or seven years old, who was joyfully eating

meatballs with a bowl of red bean soup next to her.

Is that Kurenai Yuhi and

Mitarai Anko?

Kiba blinked. Kurenai and Anko

didn't notice him, with Anko wholeheartedly devouring the meatballs, looking

innocent and happy.

In this regard, Kiba smiled

slightly but did not go forward to say hello.

At this time, Morino Shinsuke

greeted and then walked to a seat where two people were already sitting.

"Sensei Shinsuke!" When

Morino Shinsuke approached, one of the two quickly stood up and respectfully

gave up his seat to him.

Seeing this person, a slight smile

appeared on Morino Shinsuke's face. He patted the young man on the shoulder,

motioned him to sit down, and then looked at Kiba.

Immediately, the eyes of the two

people at the table fell on Kiba.

The expression on the face of the

person who gave up his seat immediately cooled down, and the expression of the

other person became subtle, as if a little strange and a little dissatisfied.

"This is Taki Kiba, the new

task teammate assigned to us by the Third Hokage," Morino Shinsuke

introduced.

"Please guide me," Kiba

said, a helpless smile on his face. His eyes fell on the person who gave up his

seat first, and he sighed inwardly.

How troublesome,

partnering with him!

At this moment, the person who

gave up his seat to Morino Shinsuke narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Kiba

with puzzlement and unwillingness.

Clearly, they didn't really want

to team up with Kiba.

"Taketo Kiuchi, please guide

me," the man forced a smile, uglier than crying, likely out of respect for

Morino Shinsuke.

This person was none other than

Taketo Kiuchi, another disciple of Morino Shinsuke.

"Fujiki Shigeru," the

other person reported his name, then looked at Morino Shinsuke with disdain in

his eyes.

This made Kiuchi Taketo very

dissatisfied, and he looked at Fujiki Shigeru with cold, angry eyes.

Unexpectedly, this guy

respects his sensei very much. I thought he was the type who dislikes everyone!

Seeing Taketo Kiuchi's expression,

Kiba understood. Honestly, Taketo Kiuchi getting up to give up his seat for the

sensei and showing respect for Morino Shinsuke changed Kiba's opinion of him

quite a bit.

However, Kiuchi always talking

about geniuses made it hard for Kiba to develop a good impression.

Next, Kiba looked at Fujiki

Shigeru. He didn't know this person. Shigeru was about 16 or 17 years old and

should be a powerful chunin. For B-level missions, one Jounin usually leads two

or three chunin. Confidence in his own strength could be seen in his eyes,

along with disdain for Morino Shinsuke. There was nothing else; Kiba didn't

catch his eye at all. Seeing how he ignored Kiuchi Taketo kicking him

vigorously, Kiuchi Taketo didn't catch his eye either.

"Sit down," Morino Shinsuke

said.

This sound was obviously directed

at Kiba, and before speaking, Morino Shinsuke had already sat down.

Kiba also didn't hesitate and

followed Morino Shinsuke to sit down. The table was a small long table, and the

four of them sat opposite each other. Opposite Morino Shinsuke was Fujiki

Shigeru, and opposite Kiba was Kiuchi Taketo.

At this moment, Fujiki Shigeru's

gaze turned slightly to Kiba. He chuckled and said, "You have to perform a

B-level mission at such a young age. Remember not to stray too far from us

during the mission; otherwise, we won't be able to protect you. What will

happen to you, little brother, I don't know."

At the end of these words, Fujiki

Shigeru had already looked at Morino Shinsuke and said, "Yes, Captain

Morino."

"Kiba is very strong,"

Morino Shinsuke said quite seriously.

Morino Shinsuke had great trust in

his disciple Shiga Taketake. Kiba, who could convince Shiga, earned Shinsuke's

trust and recognition of his strength.

"Hmph!" Fujiki Shigeru

chuckled, his disdain beyond words.

At this time, Kiba also paid

special attention to Morino Shinsuke's expression but found that it was still

ordinary and silent, which made him narrow his eyes slightly.

This Morino Shinsuke is

definitely not ordinary, and his mind must be very firm!

This judgment came from the bottom

of Kiba's heart, almost an intuition.

"Fujiki Shigeru,

Sensei-sensei is the captain of this mission. Please respect a Jonin

captain," Kiuchi Taketo finally couldn't help it, looking at Fujiki

Shigeru seriously and angrily, with seven points of anger in his tone.

Fujiki Shigeru glanced at Kiuchi

Taketo, his eyes full of disdain. "Yes, I must respect the captain of the

'Jonin's Crane Tail,' disciple..."

Naked disdain and provocation!

"You!" The moment Fujiki

Shigeru finished speaking, Kiuchi Taketo almost stood up with his sword. From

his angry face, it seemed like he would draw his sword and attack Fujiki

Shigeru in the next second. Kiba wouldn't be surprised if he did.

"Taketo!" At this

moment, Morino Shinsuke stopped Kiuchi Taketo. "Don't embarrass the boss.

This is not a place to fight, and we will perform tasks together tomorrow.

Don't draw your sword on your partners."

"Yes!" Kiuchi Taketo

quickly sat down, though his face was still angry.

In response, Kiba closed his eyes

and sighed long.

Such a team must have

fallen apart... Instead of forming such a team, it would be much more efficient

and have a higher success rate to carry out tasks alone. This is not a team at

all!

"What do you want to

eat?" Just as Kiba was feeling depressed about this mission, Morino Shinsuke

asked.

Kiba was slightly taken aback,

then said, "Same as you."

Hearing this, Morino Shinsuke

nodded and ordered two servings of meatballs, a cup of tea, and a bowl of red

bean soup.

A cup of tea and a bowl of

red bean soup?

Kiba narrowed his eyes slightly as

he listened to Morino Shinsuke's order.

He'll drink the tea

himself, but he's worried I might not be able to handle bitter tea, so he

ordered sweet red bean soup? This Masaru Morino is very considerate... To be so

careful in daily life, in combat, the opponent must really be cautious and

careful.

Those who call him

"the crane tail of the ninja" are definitely blind!

Kiba judged inwardly.

Soon, the meatballs, tea, and red

bean soup were brought over by the beautiful proprietress. But after she left,

Kiba's expression was slightly surprised.

Is the proprietress

interested in Captain Morino?

When she was leaving, Kiba clearly

saw the proprietress secretly glance at Morino Shinsuke, who still had an

ordinary and silent expression.

"Then, while eating, let's

explain this mission to Kiba," Masaru Morino looked at the green tea with

light smoke, raised his head, and said.

Hearing this, Kiba put away his

thoughts and listened carefully.

His first mission was a B-level

mission, and Kiba still felt the pressure.
