While traveling.
Both of their speeds were very fast.
There was simply no opportunity to open their mouths to speak.
The two of them, one in front and one behind.
Continually rushed on their journey.
Badan Town.
Shouldn't be far from Konoha Village.
Although Rokuro didn't know exactly where it was, since Kuro was using the Chakra-wasting Violent Movement Technique to travel, the distance absolutely wouldn't exceed fifty kilometers.
As a result.
It was just as Rokuro thought.
After sprinting wildly for over thirty kilometers, they saw a town.
Kuro stopped to rest at the entrance of the town.
Rokuro landed beside Kuro. Without his face flushing or his heart skipping a beat, he sized up Badan Town and sighed with some emotion, "This place doesn't look as prosperous as Konoha Village!"
Kuro patted Rokuro on the shoulder. "How can a mere small town compare to Konoha Village? This is your first time out, kid. I'll give you a chance to wander around. I'm going to meet the mission client, Mr. Murano, first. We'll meet back here in two hours!"
Seeing that Kuro was about to leave, Rokuro hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Master, didn't you say you had something to give me? We've already reached Badan Town, hurry up and give it to me!"
Kuro cast a glance at Rokuro, fished out a scroll from his pocket, handed it to him, and said, "It's not from me. It's compensation from Lord Hokage. He said since he didn't give you what you wanted, he's giving you this to make up for it!"
From Hiruzen?
Is that old man afraid he would get angry and betray Konoha?
If that was the case!
Then the thing he gave absolutely wouldn't be too bad.
Rokuro thought about it, took the scroll, and opened it to look.
Opening the scroll.
He examined it carefully.
Water Release Ninjutsu - Water Severing Wave.
This seemed to be the Water Release ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage.
In the original storyline, the resurrected Second Hokage used this move to cut straight through the incredibly tough God Tree. It could indeed be considered among the batch of Water Release ninjutsu with the strongest single-target attack power.
After looking at the ninjutsu.
Rokuro curled his lip.
Thinking of buying him off with a mere A-Rank ninjutsu? How could it be that easy.
If they wanted him to obediently listen, they'd have to give him an S-Rank ninjutsu or higher at the very least for it to catch his eye.
However!
Since it was free.
He might as well learn it later.
Having memorized the ninjutsu, he put the scroll away, and the scroll automatically destroyed itself.
Rokuro looked at the scroll that had turned to ashes, looked at Kuro, and said, "Master, then I'll go wander around inside. If you have an emergency, just fire a signal flare!"
Kuro was a bit speechless. "Rokuro, what kind of nonsense are you trying to pull now? Didn't I just say we assemble here in two hours? You're not planning to have so much fun that you refuse to come back, are you?!"
That was exactly what Rokuro was thinking.
However!
He could only do it, not say it.
He responded with an awkward smile, "Well about that, wasn't I just afraid I might miss the time?!"
Kuro smacked Rokuro on the head. "Smelly brat, now you won't forget, right?"
Rokuro rubbed his head and complained, "Can't you just talk nicely? Why do you have to hit my head?!"
Kuro snorted coldly. "If talking nicely worked, would I need to hit you? You must come here in two hours, otherwise, I won't take you out on missions anymore!"
Without Kuro taking him!
Rokuro wouldn't be able to leave Konoha.
Kuro's threat hit right where it hurt, leaving him no choice but to compromise with a sigh. "Fine, I promise to come here early. I guarantee I won't delay the time!"
Hearing Rokuro's answer.
Kuro nodded, turned around, and left. "I'm off. See you in two hours!"
Watching Kuro walk away.
Rokuro looked around and walked toward a street.
Where!
It was the most bustling!
He was going to properly explore a town in the Hokage world.
Walking into the commercial street.
Rokuro was extremely disappointed.
Everything here was already sold in Konoha Village.
His desire to buy and eat some local specialties had completely gone up in smoke.
In his past life, he was a key business backbone of a company; what kind of storms had he not seen? Compared to modern society, the towns here were simply trash.
After wandering around for a while.
He felt thoroughly bored.
He casually bought some food, then simply returned to the assembly point, found a place to sit down, and ate.
Near Konoha Village, no one dared to provoke a child wearing a Konoha headband. Rokuro sat at the street intersection for an hour. Some people looked at him out of curiosity, but no one dared to approach him, let alone come over to look for trouble.
Once the two hours were up.
Kuro returned to the intersection on time.
Seeing Rokuro sitting at the intersection, he was very satisfied. He beckoned Rokuro to follow him into the town to meet their client and prepare to set off for the royal capital of the Land of Fire.
