Chapter 356: Mission From Sarutobi


    “Hokage-sama, why are you here?” Seeing Sarutobi in front of him, An asked curiously.


    Hiruzenughed and said: “I’m here for you, An.”


    An was surprised: “Looking for me? What’s the matter?”


    Hiruzen directly went to the point and said: “Recently, our supply team was attacked by an enemy and we suffered some losses. Now, most Ninjas were out on missions or on the battlefield and we are understaffed.”


    Hearing this, An smiled slightly: “In other words, Hokage-sama wants me to help, right?”


    “Correct.” Hiruzen nodded and continued: “Since the previous team was ambushed, our supplies were stolen and the frontliners are facing some shortage.


    I’m currently preparing the supply and preparing a team to deliver them to the frontline.


    There should be 15 members of the supply team. Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin should be part of the team and I want you to apany the team as well. I just want you to help us deliver the supplies and lead the team.”


    At this time, the system gave An a choice.


    [Ding! Make a Choice]


    [1: ept Hiruzen’s request and lead a team with the supplies to the front line. Reward: Senju Tobirama Sensor ability.]


    [2: Reject Hiruzen’s request, making an excuse that you’re not a Ninja from Konoha. Reward: Ninjutsu Gift Pack.]


    Even if it was just for the reward’s sake, An agreed to lead the team.


    “Okay, I will lead the team.”


    “Thank you.” Sarutobi Hiruzen was grateful as he didn’t expect An to ept so easily.


    It was a dangerous mission after all. An was taking a risk by agreeing to this mission.


    Sarutobi didn’t know that An epted so quickly because of the reward he would get. Well, he also had to do something for Konoha if he wanted to be considered one of them.


    Two dayster, Hiruzen prepared a team to deliver the supplies.


    At the gate of Konoha, Hiruzen stood in front of An and said: “The task of delivering these items will be in your hand, be careful on the road.”


    “Well, don’t worry, I will send the supplies safely,” An assured.


    Hiruzen nodded as he believed that An would get the job done.


    In addition to An, Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin were part of the team, along with four Anbu and the rest were Genins.


    One of the Anbu was an Anbu captain, while the other three were his teammates. The captain was a Jonin, and the others were either Chunin ranks or special Jonins.


    As the captain of the team, An had to ensure the safety of the team and the supplies.


    Most of the supplies were sealed in storage scrolls for easier transportation, but bulky items needed manpower to deliver.


    Only An, the Anbu captain, and his deputy didn’t carry items. Their task was to lead the team forward and be alert to the danger around them and protect the others.


    After a few days, An and his party of 14 finally reached the border.


    At this time, the Anbu Captain took out a map and said: “Going ahead, we will find we should encounter a forest, after that forest should be the camp.”


    “Okay, let’s go then,” An said.


    The Anbu captain said again: “Thest team was attacked in the forest, we should be careful.”


    “Don’t worry, I’m here,” An assured them.


    Immediately after, An, along with his group entered the forest.
