- I am Surizawa Fushi and I am twelve years old. I became a kunoichi to get the privileges and tax breaks from the village. My dream is to marry the guy I like.
Hoshi barely refrained from snorting loudly and contemptuously - apparently, this kunoichi has a poor understanding of the requirements for kunoichi and wants to get the title solely for the privileges granted, not too different from the ordinary girls on the street. Her next words only confirmed this impression.
- My goal is quite simple - to become a chunin and retire and inherit my parents' business. I like to dress up and go out with my girlfriends, I don't like rain, damp and getting wet.
- Today is the first day of our team, so let it be a day off. Training will begin tomorrow at nine o'clock at the range number fifty-two, assigned to our team for the entire period of training and practice. You'll have your first assignment to find it.
- Training and practice? - The kunochi echoed his words.
- Exactly. For two or three years, the genin learns and gains experience under the guidance of a mentor, and then tries to get the rank of chunin on an exam or by the number of missions completed, but the latter is not always the case. After that time, the team can continue to work as a team, or they can disband and join Konoha's main forces in their current ranks," Nara explained in detail. - We can assume that we have the latter case, because Surizawa has no plans to continue his career after receiving the chunin, right?
- Yes, Sensei," the girl nodded.
Hoshi frowned, trying to cope with a flash of jealousy and disapproval for her partner - if she and Asani had to become assassins not from a good life, Surizawa was already secured and had a clear idea of how to squeeze the maximum result out of the available opportunities, without making special efforts for it.
- I see your point, so let's call it a day, but one more question - you don't seem to have any material problems, do you? - The jonin asked, rising from the table.
When he nodded, he took a piece of paper and a pencil out of his pocket and began to scribble something down quickly.
- Then here's a shopping list for the near future, and I'll take your partners shopping myself.
Taking the list, Surizawa tucked it into her pants pocket and hesitated for a moment.
- Sensei... my parents invite you to visit at any convenient time," the genin said awkwardly, clearly realizing the gap between the social status of her mentor and herself for such an offer.
- I'm sorry, but I have too much to do for that, especially that I know what they want - I'll get to the chunin and try to keep them safe and sound under my command," the red-haired jonin shook his head.
- Thank you, Sensei," she bowed deeply and nodded to her partners, leaving the booth with her stomach full of food.
