Naruto - The Wind Calamity

Chapter 144 : New House

On the 7th day of this routine, when Fujin returned back to his home, he noticed an envelope attached to his door.

Fujin thought, 'That's new.'
He ripped it off and began reading. He thought, 'Oh, this is a notice to call me to the Mission office in the Hokage's office tomorrow at 8:15 AM. Did the Hot Water Daimyo send the bounty rewards?'

The next morning, Fujin began training once again. He ended his morning training an hour earlier and went to the Hokage building. On reaching, he saw Hoka and Mieko.

He went up to them. Hoka asked, "Hey Fujin, how have you been doing?"
Fujin replied, "Well. I got back to training. What about you guys?"

Mieko gave Fujin the stink eye and said, "Back to training already? You need to get a hobby, Fujin!"
Fujin smirked and replied, "Training is a hobby!"
Mieko scoffed at his reply.

Fujin looked at her and said in his mind, 'Unlike you, I have more than a year to live.'

Hoka said, "Stop arguing. Let's go inside."

The trio went inside. Fujin was thinking, 'Naruto and Sasuke should be 7 years old when the Academy starts. So I guess the Uchiha Massacre will happen in the next 12 months.

My transmigration shouldn't have affected the politics around this incident. The only thing that could be considered is Hiruzen teaching Mieko. But, I don't think it'll have much of an impact.'

They reached the Hokage's office and knocked on the door. Hatake Takao opened the door and looked at them and said, "The Bandit Exterminators?"

Just three words instantly annoyed the trio. All their faces became dark. He said, "Come in."

The trio entered the office with dark faces. Hiruzen stopped doing paperwork and looked at them. He wondered, 'Why do they look like they have come here to give me money instead of coming here to take money?'

Takao opened a drawer and grabbed 3 packets. He handed one to each one of them.

Hiruzen said, "You guys did a great job in the Land of Hot Water. The joint commander of the mission, Tokuhei, and their Daimyo praised your work a lot."

He looked at the package in their hands and said, "These are the bounty rewards that Daimyo has sent for you. Fujin, yours has 4.5 million Ryo. Mieko and Hoka, your packets have 2.5 million Ryo each."

Fujin saw his packet and thought, 'Rank A missions give a shitload of money!'

Hiruzen's eyes didn't miss Fujin looking at his packet. He thought, 'This brat is very greedy! I have to ensure that he doesn't pick up any bad habits.'

He asked, "What are you three planning to do with the money?"

Mieko answered, "Nothing. My Mom will take it all and put it in the bank. I can have access to it when I am older."

Hoka said, "Same here. Though I'll be asking my dad to get me more tools to improve my strength."

Hiruzen looked at Fujin, "What about you Fujin?"

Fujin thought for a bit and said, "I'll probably buy a new house… The one that the Academy assigned me is too small and kinda old."

Hiruzen was surprised. He never thought that Fujin would consider housing. Most orphans would live in their assigned houses for a long time. They would usually move out only when they get married.

Hoka and Mieko were surprised as well.
Hoka said, "That's good! Good luck Fujin."
Mieko added, "Yes, good luck Fujin. Invite us when it's ready."
Fujin nodded.
