At the Konoha gate,

Hikari and Mitsuki are waiting both Shinachiku and Konohamaru.

"As always, that idiot is still late!" states Hikari who's leaning on the gate.

"Sir Konohamaru is also not here yet" Mitsuki said, wondering.

Later, their teacher arrived and he's with two men pulling a cart loaded with goods. The man in light brown bonnet appears to be a merchant and the guy with orange one is his servant.

"Teacher!" greeted the two from afar.

"Mitsuki! Hikari! Where is Shinachiku?" queries Konohamaru.

"Sensei! I am here!" shouted a young boy running towards them from the woods.

Hikari squint her eyes and shook her head in dismay.

"Shinachiku, you're late!" Konohamaru said.

"I am sorry sir. I messed up and forgot to set my alarm last night" excused Shinachiku while scratching his head from embarrassment.

"What a great excuse" Hikari sarcastically said.

"Okay! I'll talk to you about that later." Konohamaru said.

"Yes Sir" replied the younger.

"Today's mission is to accompany Mr. Hiroshi and his servant Kaito to Yugagakure. He's been targeted by thieves because he's carrying gold pots" Konohamaru explains.

"Last time, I was ambushed by three armed men and took my gold items. I was left none and they keep coming for me. Also, they are not just ordinary thieves, they seems to be Shinobis because they used jutsus. That's why I decided to ask help from Konoha" expressed the merchant, who looks sad, thinking what he lost.

"Don't worry Mister, we will protect you" assured Shinachiku.

The merchant felt relief knowing that he will be protected.

The group started to walk through forest. Nothing suspicious and the ambience seemed fined.

However, halfway to their destination. A portal-like black hole appears and a man came out from it.
