"That's a big cart you're carrying with you? I thought it was just supposed to be an artifact, like you would hold it in your arms, I dunno?" Ikebashi was the first to speak after about 20 minutes of traveling in silence. Kassi was fully ready to sarcastically respond when Amika suddenly squeezed her hand, making her glance at the taller girl and notice her shaking her head making her sigh.

"Actually the artifact is hidden in that cart, it's easier to carry like this along with the rest of my things, and it's much more discrete." Kaleku chuckled while Ikebashi only looked more confused, but he looked back at Kimo when he coughed.

"We have no business asking questions like that Ikebashi, we aren't to know anything about the artifact, do you understand?" Kimo's voice got deadly serious and the younger boy quickly nodded looking a bit afraid making Kassi laugh. He, of course, glared at her making her laugh a bit more until she was pulled into her older sister's side.

"Stop laughing at him, he's turning red." She mumbled into her ear making Kassi pout.

"But that makes it even better." She slightly whined and Amika smiled and let her go except for the hand she was already holding.

"You're lucky you're cute." She said and at that moment, the shorter girl looked back at the slightly older boy to see him even redder in the face, except out of anger this time.

'He makes it so easy.' And right after thinking that Kassi practically latched onto Amika's arm. The taller girl didn't even question it, she just started to lightly rub her head as they walked. It was taking all of Ikebashi's willpower to not attack her and Kassi very obviously knew because she then slightly turned to stick her tongue out. The two adults that were watching the little scene play out both couldn't help but chuckle.

After that, it was silent for a little bit longer until they reached the bottom of the first mountain they had to climb over to get to their destination.

"Do we really have to climb that?" Kassi asked turning to her sensei who gave her a sad look but still nodded.

"Believe me, I don't wanna do this as much as you don't want to." He mumbled but everyone heard and his students all looked annoyed but Kaleku just laughed making Kassi turn to him. 'He sure laughs a lot.'

"Anyway this the point where you guys need to be serious, don't get distracted by anything. Mind you this mission is only C-rank so it's not gonna be really dangerous, but there are bandits and thieves that we have to look out for, got it?" Kimo asked while looking at his Squad of genin.

"Right sensei!" They all yelled together, and despite their differences, each of them had a bright grin of excitement that even made Kimo smile despite his prior seriousness.

"You guys look like you're going to save the world." Kaleku quipped from beside them and Amika just shook her head.

"We just want to prove ourselves that's all." She smiled and he nodded in understanding.

"Let's get going."

"This is so boring, we've been over 2 mountains, there's only 1 left and nothing has happened!" Ikebashi groaned for the millionth time and Kaleku was pretty sure that each one of his teammates was ready to kill him by the way they were glaring.

"You're a really energetic kid, you know that?" He said only for the smaller boy to freeze and glare at him making him lift his hands.

"I mean a really energetic ninja?"
