Shinobi Fenrir 46 The Wolf and a Real Princess

"You're late!" Shiroe yelled.

"Good morning Nemu, Shinji." I said while I ignored Shiroes wild yells.

After 5 minutes were up, Inoue Sensei then arrived with 2 persons.

One was a disguised old man wearing a large cloak with a long white beard reaching his lower chest.

The other one was a pretty girl around our age wearing a dark pink short kimono.

"Good morning guys, this is our client, Lord Nabunaga Ken and his daughter Kaori. Our mission is to secure their safety and survival before they arrive at the Land of Valleys." Inoue said.

All of us then nodded our heads and greeted them. We also told them our names so they can call us easily.

Our formation was a House Formation. Inoue was in front of Ken while Shinji and Shiroe are beside him from both sides.

Kaori was located behind Ken while I was at her left side and Nemu was at her right.

The escort mission proceeded smoothly. We were traveling at a slow pace since Ken and Kaori are both civilians and they can't handle the fast-paced traveling of Shinobi's.

After a few hours of walking, the sun was already ready to set while the moon slowly appears from a distance.

Shiroe then asked Ken.

"Ne, Ken san. What is the specialty of the Land of Valleys?" He asked.

"Stupid!" Nemu said.

"What did you say Nemu!!!!" Shiroe yelled.

"I said that you are stupid. Why will you ask them what their land specialty? If you just focused on your studies back at school, you should know that the Land of Valley is famous for its delicious wine." Nemu said.

Shiroe and Nemu then proceeded to argue with each other along the way while we all just laughed at their antics.

"To say that our lives depend on these pitiful kids." Kaori whispered.

"Well, our sensei, the girl beside you and Sunglasses over there are all from prestigious Ninja clans from Konoha. Just ignore the loudmouth over there and the rest of us can vouch for your safety." I said.

Kaori was shocked and embarrassed that I was able to hear her whispers. In her embarrassment, she then lashed out harshly.

"What about you? All of them are from prestigious clans, so what's your story? A weak kid playing ninja?" She said.

"KAORI!!!!" Ken yelled in front of us.

Before Kaori can reply at her father's loud shout, I then flashed behind Kaori and deflected 5 Kunai's that were aimed at her.

Inoue then immediately went to action. She flashed from her spot and charged at the enemies direction.

Nemu, Shiroe and Shinji then did a pyramid formation surrounding Ken, while I just stood in front of Kaori.

"No! Not me, protect her!" Ken said.

All 3 of them were shocked at his words and just stood there.

A big fireball was sailing in their direction but they were not yet experienced in Shinobi battles since this team had just recently graduated according to Inoue.

When the attack was closing on their position, something appeared from my shadow. It was the lightning clone I hid under my shadow for something like this. The clone then sparked into lightning and went for a Volt Charge to the fireball.

It then destroyed the Fireball and bulldozed the attacker, dispelling into a large lightning strike killing him.

I then assessed the situation and Inoue had already killed 4 out of 11 shinobis that ambushed us, while I killed 1.

"Don't move from this spot okay." I said to Kaori.

A of mine Shadow Clone then appeared beside Kaori. My right fingers then sharpened and I coated them with my lightning chakra. I then used Shukuchi and vanished from my spot.

I appeared in front of one ninja after the other, killing them with one blow from my Lightning Claws.

After I have killed 4 ninjas, Inoue had already killed the other 2.

"Formation F!" Inoue yelled to her team, but all of them are just standing there with pale faces.

I then heightened my senses for another ambush and searched if more ninjas are coming.

"There are no one around a half kilometer radius from our spot sensei." I said.

"Good. NEMU! SHIROE! SHINJI! Wake up!!!" She yelled while I just went back from my previous position and the shadow clone dispelled.

After I released her from the barrier, she then proceeded to vomit alongside the 3 genins who just experienced their first kill scenario. Even though they weren't the ones who performed the murder, the gore was still too much for them, especially Kaori.

"Okay, let's find a safe place and rest first." Inoue said.

"I'll scout the area Sensei." I said.

"Be careful Daisuke." She said while I just nodded.

After I found a nearby open space with a huge 80 meters rock, I then went back to inform the others.

The place was a great spot since the big rock provides cover from the other side while we can focus on the open directions.

Since the sun is already about to set, we decided to set up camp.

While Inoue Sensei was creating a bonfire, she then talked to the 3 genins.

"I am proud and disappointed with you 3. I'm proud that you've acted quickly when the ambush happened Shinji, Nemu, and Shiroe. But I'm disappointed that you didn't pay attention to your surroundings more. If that fireball haven't been blocked by Daisuke. All 3 of you with Ken san would have been roasted." Inoue said while the 3 of them had a sad expression.

"Don't be harsh with them Inoue san. They're just children." Ken said.

"No Ken san. When the 3 of them decided to be a Konoha Shinobi, they've already been an adult the day they graduated from the Academy." Inoue said while Ken just remained silent.

"Let it pass Inoue Sensei. According to what you have told me, that was their first life and death battle. Let them learn from it Sensei." I said while it was Inoue's turn to remain silent.

"Was that not you're first life and death encounter young man?" Ken asked.

"No Ken san, that wasn't my first time. Since I became a genin I've been through many life and death experience." I said.

"Look at him bragging. He was stuck at the genin rank for 2 years and he feels like he is a professional shinobi." Shiroe whispered.

"Well to tell you a bit of information the Hokage told me before we left for our mission, Daisuke here, graduated from the academy when he was 8 years old Shiroe. The Hokage didn't want him to advance early to Chunin since he is too young but from what I saw he should have been promoted already and you would be looking at a possible Chunin. So stop lashing on to others about your shortcomings!" Inoue yelled at Shiroe while Nemu and Shinji were shocked by the information.

'If he graduated at the young age of 8 and had been a genin for 2 years, then this guy is only 10 years old.' Both Nemu and Shinji thought at the same time while Shiroe just stared at me like he has seen a monster.

"Who are you?" Kaori asked while she looked at me.

"Well, I'm Inuzuka Daisuke. I'm the Heir of the Inuzuka Clan, Kaori Hime." I said while Ken and Kaori were shocked at my last statement.

"How?" Kaori said.

"Well you act like a princess brat plus Ken was more worried for your safety than his safety or the mission. Also, the princess of the Land of Valley's name is Hinami Kaori. What a huge coincidence right, Kaori Hime?" I said.
