First Mission

Rafsa walked excitedly towards the Hokage's place, she headed straight for the hokage's room. As he opened the entrance a glance inside there were already Ino, Hinata and Sakura. Of course Rafsa immediately smiled happily, the mission this time would definitely be very fun especially him with the three beautiful kunoichi from Konohagakura.

“Hahaha.. Gin, what a pity your fate is. He would definitely be very envious to hear it, Rafsa's inner” while going inside, but he was very surprised because there was also Reina.

“Ah Rafsa-kun,” greet Kakashi.

“I came hokage-sama,” replied Rafsa while closing the door back.

“He, you are also already chunin Rafsa-kun,” Sakura said.

“Omedetou Rafsa-kun,” timpal Hinata with his sweet smile.

“Oh, so he's the author of the famous novel huh?” hatch Ino while staring at Rafsa.

“Ah, you are too much,” said Rafsa while smiling himself.

“Getting, did she just first get praised by women?” thought Reina.

“Because the team is complete so I will explain the mission, this time you are in charge of escorting the fire country trading entourage. Lately many trade groups were robbed by bandits, it is said that the bandits also mastered ninjutsu. So this time the fire country's trade troupe asked Konoha for help,” Kakashi explained.

“It can be ascertained, if they.” Inner Rafsa.

“Is the user HLF,” thought Reina who also has similar thoughts.

“This time Reina will lead the mission, actually I want Shikamaru to come with her because the purpose of the theft of the bandits is too suspicious. But unfortunately at the moment Shikamaru is busy, so Reina recommends you to join the mission this time,” Kakashi added.

“Eh? She recommended me?” thought Rafsa while looking at Reina.

“Yeah, but it looks like this time I do have to thank him, Rafsa's inner”, he's really happy to be on a mission with Ino, Sakura and Hinata.

“Means hokage-sama suspicious what is it?” ask Sakura.

“It is said that the bandits who lately robbed trading entourage from different countries have something in common. They used a headband with the inscription ‘Yami’, they also claimed to be from Yamigakure,” Kakashi replied.

“Yamigakure?” hinata.

“Yes, it seems that the bandits were indeed deliberately gathered to create a new shinobi village in this world. But we still do not know where the Yamigakure is, which is clearly your task at the moment is to escort the trading troupe. If I can I want you to capture one of them, if we can get more clear information about their origin then it will be easier to determine the next step,” explained Kakashi.

“Good,” answer the five of them simultaneously.

The five of them then left Konohagakure Village to go to the place where the trade dispute was located. Accompanied by a trade group representative who asked for help from Konoha, they walked to the north of the fire country. It is not far from Konoha Village.

After arriving at the location, there were many horse carriages lined up accompanied by several fire country soldiers who would accompany their trip. The purpose of this trading group is to go to the area near Takigakure in the north. Because of the long journey and through the forest and mountains, the five of them also carried their respective supplies in the bags they carried on their backs. Before starting the journey, do not forget Reina immediately divided the tasks for the five of them.

“Rafsa, Hinata will be in the front row. While the three of us will be in the back row,” orders Reina accompanied by a nod by four other people, Rafsa looks as comfortable as her own smile when she heard she was placed with Hinata alone in the front row alone.

“Cih, he must be very happy,” Inner Reina who looks a bit annoyed at Rafsa's behavior.

“Rafsa, don't take this mission playfully,” scolds Reina before they part according to their respective duties.

“Calm down,” replied Rafsa with a smile, he did not forget to give a thumbs up his right hand with full confidence.

Rafsa and Hinata immediately headed for the front row, to be honest Rafsa praised the placement made by Reina. Hinata who has the Byakugan will keep an eye on the opponent's movements up front, while she will protect him. While the sensor-type Ino will be watching from behind, Sakura and Reina will be protecting him.

“Hinata-san, if possible let me just carry your bag,” bargained Rafsa with a smile. The five of them could only walk on foot like the other guard soldiers.

“Eh? Thank you, but the bag is quite light,” replied Hinata who looked a little surprised.

“It's okay, after all in this mission maybe you and Ino who will play a very important role to keep an eye on the situation around. At least I want to lighten your load so you can focus on using your byakugan,” said Rafsa.

“But..” said Hinata rather doubtful, she might not feel good if it should burden Rafsa.

“It's okay, I don't mind, even if I have to carry you during the mission this time it's also not a problem for me,” said Rafsa with a smile, Hinata can only laugh a little hearing it.

“Wuhu.. Hinata's bag. DT Corp's decision to choose Naruto Shippuden's background before Hinata gets married is right!” raffa shouted in his heart. She kept smiling happily, while Hinata occasionally used her byakugan to check on the surroundings.

Until nightfall there was not a single sign of the movement of bandits who were said to always rob cross-country trading groups. In the evening the trading party stopped in a forest to rest, Reina ordered that the troupe rest in the same place and no one should be far apart so that it was easier to watch over and protect them all at once.

Reina again put the five of them as before, Raffa and Hinata will watch the group and its surroundings in the west while Reina, Ino and Sakura will watch in the east. Raffa and Hinata then went to the far end of the party to the west, where there were mostly horse-drawn carriages filled with merchandise.

“You've eaten?” raffa asked attention-grabbing.

“Already, thanks to your help earlier I am not too hungry,” said Hinata with a smile.

“You are too good Hinata, after all I just brought your bag,” said Rafsa while sitting next to Hinata.

“Oh yes, this is an A-level mission for me,” said Rafsa, he does not want to waste the opportunity. This is the best moment to use the powerful moves of Katsuragi Keima to make their friendship closer.

“So yeah, are you nervous?” ask Hinata.

“It feels normal, I can only be nervous if I am near you,” said Rafsa with a smile.

“You're all there,” timpal Hinata with a small laugh.

“Hinata..” call Rafsa while staring at the sky.

“Ya?” hinata replied while frowning her forehead.

“Do you know why tonight looks so dark?” raffa asked as she continued to look up at the sky.

“Maybe it will rain,” replied Hinata while also looking up to the sky.

“Not..that's not the answer,” Rafsa said.

“But because the moon that should be in the sky is now even at my side,” continued Rafsa while staring at the face of Hinata who immediately laughed at hearing the typical Indonesian chatter that was thrown by Rafsa.

“You turned out to like to joke too yes, I thought you were a serious person,” Hinata said with a smile.

“Depending on how you want, I can be serious,” said Rafsa while staring at the face of ayu Hinata. But suddenly there was the sound of wolves roaring in the distance, the wind blowing suddenly felt so cold.

“Byakugan!” hinata said as she stood up, she must have felt strange with the sudden change of atmosphere.

“There are four people heading here, it looks like they are a shinobi,” said Hinata.

“Cih, you bully! They don't know if I'm alone with Hinata!” grumbling Rafsa in his heart, he was forced to stand while clasping his sword.

“What in the east is there too?” ask Rafsa.

“Mm.. it looks like nothing,” replied Hinata while looking eastward.

“They seem so confident that they dare to attack from one point alone,” said Rafsa as he drew his sword and advanced to protect Hinata.

“Ranton: reiza satash!” there was the sound of a man using his jutsu from a distance.

“Gawat,” said Rafsa who did not think the enemy would attack directly by using a powerful jutsu.

The pitch-black forest was now suddenly glazed by flashes of lightning that shot towards Hinata and Rafsa. But at that time Rafsa immediately used his mennin mode and began to do hand seals.

“Kage bunshin no Jutsu!” raffa created a bunshin kage nearby and the two returned to hand-sealing very quickly.

“Senpou, Futon: Shinkuureppa!” said Raffa and his bunshin who directly blew the wind in front of him.

It was also the roar of a fierce and thunderous wind instantly shot towards his opponent's ranton jutsu. The trees that passed were immediately torn apart like they were hit by sword slashes.

‘Dddhhhoommrrr.

Seriate…
