Kuro's physical condition was extremely poor.
The cells in his body no longer had much vitality.
They were completely the cells of an old man, having already lost their ability to reproduce.
Based on Kuro's condition.
If he continued to use the Violent Body Flow Ninjutsu, it would truly be difficult for him to last past three years.
No wonder an expert like Kuro never actually appeared in the original Hokage storyline. It must have been because Danzo continuously ordered him around, causing him to die very early on.
Retracting his hand!
Rokuro thought for a moment and said, "Master, for your condition, wanting to recover through medical means is already quite impossible. We can only find a new path and think of other methods!"
Kuro didn't mind at all. He smiled and said, "It's fine. Being able to live another ten years is already enough for me. As a ninja, being able to live to sixty is already an honor, isn't it?!"
That was true!
The average lifespan of a ninja was around forty.
Being able to live to sixty was indeed very difficult.
Rokuro looked at Kuro and chuckled. "Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to save you. Give me three years of time. After three years, I will be able to restore your youth!"
Kuro cast a surprised glance at Rokuro. "You actually have a solution for my condition?!"
Rokuro looked at the campfire, smiled, and said, "If medical jutsu doesn't work, isn't there still ninjutsu? Just focus on living well; you might even get to see your grand-disciple be born!"
Kuro burst into loud laughter, laughing incredibly happily.
After a long while.
He finally patted Rokuro on the shoulder and said, "Good, good, good! Then I will just wait and see!"
"You'll definitely see it!" Rokuro replied. He stood up, lay down on the bed, and said, "I'm going to sleep. I've been tired all night, and I still have to get up tomorrow to hit the road!"
Kuro couldn't help but complain, "Like a kid like you would actually get tired. Who are you trying to fool?"
Rokuro chuckled and didn't answer. He pulled the blanket over himself and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing this.
Kuro shook his head and stopped speaking.
Late at night.
Passed peacefully without incident.
As soon as the sky brightened the next day, Sei somewhat excitedly called for everyone to set off again.
Last night.
He had arranged for his underlings to go to the mountain fort ahead to take a look.
There wasn't a single living person left; everyone was dead through and through. This made him feel incredibly happy because, from now on, he could save around one million ryo in expenses every year.
That one million could be considered pure profit.
And all of this.
Was entirely because of Rokuro.
Therefore, on the rest of the journey, he served Rokuro extremely thoughtfully.
Food and drinks.
Were delivered right in front of Rokuro right on time.
The original plan.
Was to arrive at the royal capital of the Land of Fire tomorrow morning.
Now, without the obstruction of the mountain bandits, and with Rokuro's protection, Sei decided to travel through the night to deliver the goods to the royal capital, lest the longer they delayed, the easier it would be to encounter danger.
Regarding traveling through the night, Rokuro had no objections; in fact, he was eager to arrive as quickly as possible. So when Sei told him about traveling at night, he agreed immediately.
By a little past nine o'clock at night.
Sei was transporting weapons to the royal capital, so he naturally had some connections.
Even though the city gates of the royal capital were already closed at night, he still managed to find someone to open the gates and let everyone into the city.
Just upon entering the city gates.
Rokuro received a notification.
[Escort Mission Completed: Reward 4,600 Experience Points.]
Receiving this message.
Rokuro instantly understood in his heart.
Sure enough, the more troublesome the mission, the higher the reward.
Like the C-Rank missions he did in the hospital, the average was only 500 EXP.
If he had only done a standard escort mission, the Experience reward probably wouldn't have exceeded 1,000 points.
But because he wiped out the mountain bandits, it counted as increasing the mission's difficulty, making his EXP skyrocket by a large margin.
By the looks of it!
When doing missions in the future.
He had to try his best to blow things out of proportion so the Experience would be high.
"Rokuro, what are you thinking about now? Why are you suddenly so happy?!"
Just as Rokuro was beautifully dreaming about his Experience Points, Kuro suddenly asked a question.
Rokuro snapped back to reality, looked at Kuro, and smiled. "This is my first time coming to such a large city. I heard there are nearly half a million people here; it should be incredibly prosperous, right? Master, take me to stroll around the red-light district here. I want to go study a bit!"
Kuro directly smacked Rokuro on the head. "Smelly brat, thinking about these kinds of things at such a young age, you really are a little pervert!"
Rokuro clutched his head and glared at Kuro. "Master, it's you who had dirty thoughts, right? When I said I want to go study, I meant studying their business management style. Don't you know my commercial street is about to be built? I want to go reference the shops in the red-light district to see what kind of stores would be suitable to open in my place later!"
Kuro was a bit speechless and couldn't help but complain, "Even so, why go reference a red-light district? Don't tell me you want to open a red-light district in Konoha? Lord Hokage would absolutely never allow it. Our Konoha Village doesn't engage in those kinds of indecent things!"
Rokuro rolled his eyes. "I never said I was going to open a red-light district. Who would bother with such a low-end industry? I'm going to do big business that makes real money. You'll know when the time comes, Master. Since it's still early, just take me over there for a stroll!"
Kuro was speechless and glared at Rokuro. "Let's escort Mr. Sei to his destination first. I can take you over there later, but I absolutely forbid you from going inside!"
"Fine, fine, fine!" Rokuro couldn't help but complain. "You're overthinking it too much, Master. With my tiny body right now, even if I went in, what could I even do?!"
Kuro froze for a moment, then nodded. "I actually forgot, you brat aren't even six years old yet. You really are completely useless in that department. Then I'll take you for a proper stroll!"
Fuck!
Saying I'm useless.
More like my tool is useless right now.
Kuro, you old geezer, you're the dirty one.
Rokuro cursed inwardly for a while and indignantly followed everyone forward.
