Chapter 40: chapter 34~ capital
Chapter 34~ capital
Naruto and the team, jumping forward at a normal pace, it had been 10 days since they departed from Konoha.
In the evening they train like usual, catch wild beasts for food, and sleep on the ground, for naruto, he also trains his elements and practices his ice release, naruto enjoyed the beauty of the way, he never tired of seeing and marveling at the beauty of the world.
"When we will reach the capital big brother," konohamru said, they were all sitting on a wooden log around a bonfire, and a roasted boar was on it, the nights were slightly cold, and after sitting around the bonfire they felt the warmth of the fire, it was a comfy atmosphere.
"Are you getting bored," Moegi spoke, today she had opened her hair for buns, her orange hairs swaying in the air, she was enjoying this trip, her idle was with her, she learn something new every day with him, she looked at naruto admiring him.
"No, I am not getting bored, I am just curious," Konohamaru looked at Naruto and speak again, " big Brother have you ever visited the fire capital,"
Naruto who was lost in his thought no one knows what he was thinking, looked at konohamru, "me" he pointed his finger towards himself, konohamaru nodded, "No, it's also my first time," Naruto spoke to him.
he had visited a few places with Jiraiya on his training but he never had been to the capital city of the land of fire, this was the first time he was going to visit, and sure he was taking his time on the way.
"So how are we going to find the dimeo" Udon spoke, he was the quietest boy, he never talks like his other two teammates, and only when he didn't understand or needed something from Naruto then he speak, he also greatly value naruto other than anyone, he had learned everything from him, and he knew any other genins were very behind him in term of power. He looked at Naruto as his sensei and big brother, and he admired him the most.
He had brown hair and dark eyes and wore circular glasses, and he always seems sleepy, he was an orphan, and for him naruto who also is an orphan, he respects Naruto and easily relates to him, the boy didn't complain to him, he learns as Naruto teaches them.
"Finding the daimyo, hehe... it's not as hard as you think, the biggest and most luxurious mansion in the capital will be his place, I can guarantee that" Naruto spoke to Udon, in these past 5 months naruto had a liking to all three of them, they spent their time with each other, doing missions, eating together, he had fully open up to them, in the whole village, Hinata, his team, these are the 4 people that naruto only cared about, and for others, he didn't give a fuck about them.
Udon nodded to his remark, "it's getting late, you guys go and sleep in your tents, I will be on guard duty," Naruto told them, they all nodded to them, and go into their respective tents.
Nauto created his shadow clone, " you go on guard duty, while I will sleep," Natuo said to his clone.
The clone mumbled under his breath and go to the guarding, every shadow clone he created had a different personality from each other, but they were obedient nonetheless.
Naruto jumped on a tree and lay his back against his big trunk and closed his eyes.
The night descended, the sound of various beasts rang into the surroundings, and soon all of them fell asleep.
It was the third day when all four of them came into view of the large stone walls, they were high enough to cascade a very long shadow, and a big steel gate was to welcome the visits, there was a long line of people to enter the city.
the outside of the city was sturdy and strong.
Nauto and konohamru looked at the gates they were bigger than the one Konoha had on their frontal walls. They stood in line to enter the city, and the one who wanted to enter the city, had to pay some price, but they were from the Konoha so this was their leverage over other people to don't pay any price.
It was their turn to enter the city, the guards looked at them, then he noticed the Konoha headband on the forehead of three genins, which Naruto hadn't worn at the moment, "so you are from the Konoha, what business you had in the capital," the guard asked.
the ninjas were not allowed in the city until they were on a mission or had permission to enter the city.
Naruto took out a scroll and tossed it toward the guards, the guard opened it, and he read it, "so you are here for the daimyo," the guard said and he tossed the scroll to another guard and the guard took his leave.
"You can enjoy yourself in the capital, we will inform the daimyo about your arrival," the guard spoke to them and let them in.
The trio and Naruto entered the city, and the first thing they looked at was that the caricature of the city was slightly different from the Konoha, the streets were bustling with people going here and there, and there were stalls everywhere on both sides of the road, the city was clean.
All four of them started to visit all the shops and looked all around the city, and soon they find an inn to stay. It was a two-story building, made of wooden sticks, there was a small garden in the backyard, and it was far from the inside city.
"Let's eat something first before going into the rooms" Naruto speak to them, they all nodded.
The four sat around a table, and delicious food was served on it, this restaurant was connected to the inn.
They started eating the food with blissful expressions, "this is heaven," konohamru spoke in between gulps.
"You are right, we have been eating roasted wild beast for days, in compared to them this is,,, ahh" Moegi click her tongue while eating the food.
Soon they noticed that they were being spied on.
"Big brother do you feel that it's like someone is watching us" konohamru spoke.
"Don't worry about them, just eat your food in peace," Naruto said to them while a piece of meat in his hand.
On the other side of the restaurant, three people sat, and all of them had high chunin chakra reserves, "so these are the Konoha ninjas, that daimyo sama told us to have an eye on them," one of them spoke.
"Yes, but they didn't look very strong to me," another one said.
"It didn't matter to us if they are strong or not, we will wait for the orders on what to do with them, until then just watch them and don't let them sense that we are watching them," the third man spoke, seeming the leader of their small group.
