Chapter 21 - 3: New mission (1/2)

”Nori-Sama, this is your Jonin ID card and your new Tactical Gillet, Hokage-Sama is waiting for you.” Says a young Kunoichi behind a window while giving our protagonist the elements mentioned above.

”Thanks” Says Nori before taking his new belongings and heading to the Hokage's office.

”Wait for Nori-Sama!” Says the Kunoichoi

”What's going on?” Asked our protagonist

Then the Kunoichi with a slightly timid expression took out a sheet of paper and a pen

”Can I have an signature?”

”Hmm?”

At first he was surprised but finally nodded and signed

”Thanks Nori-sama”

Then he headed again towards the Hokage's office again

”Am I really that famous?”

But he left that question aside for the moment and entered the office.

Sarutobi was sitting on an armchair surrounded by a pile of doc.u.ments that he read patiently and methodically before imposing his seal on it, seeing Nori enter he stopped his actions and looked at him with a smile

”Ohq! Nori I see you already look like you're in great physical shape, you've recovered well, I hope you get all your strength back.”

”

”Hello Hokage-Sama, I've already recovered 90% of my injuries, I feel ready to start working again.” Nori replied with a smile

”And for your eye, will it not bother you? You can keep taking a few more days off.” Says Sarutobi

”Thank you Hokage-Sama but I'm ready to do it again.”

”Well then I have a mission to give you, it's a mission of rank S.” Said the Hokage as he opened his drawer and took out a green scroll and a sealed bleu scroll that he threw at Nori.

Nori grabbed the rolls and read the green scroll carefully for two minutes before putting it in one of his pockets.

””I hope you will be able to carry out this mission in complete discretion.” Says Sarutobi with an expression that cannot hide the seriousness of the situation.

”Hokage-Sama, I wonder if I can do this mission alone.”

”Why?”
