Qin Yu finally had a good night's sleep, the most satisfying sleep since arriving in the ninja world.
Before, in the Konoha area, sleep was out of the question. Then he went straight to the Akatsuki Organization's base. In that place, teeming with all sorts of characters, Qin Yu still felt uneasy.
Around noon, Qin Yu opened his eyes and, after a quick wash, went to Pipa Juuzo's room. He originally wanted to call Pipa Juuzo to eat breakfast, but figured it was probably time for lunch.
As Qin Yu approached Pipa Juuzo's room, he heard thunderous snoring, the noise was incredible.
"Young people need to be more restrained!"
Recalling Pipa Juuzo's shining eyes from yesterday, and seeing his current snoring like a dead pig, Qin Yu immediately understood.
Giving up on waking Pipa Juuzo, Qin Yu left the inn and, after eating two servings of char siu pork chop rice at a shop about to close, went directly to the tailor shop where he had ordered clothes.
"Hello... this way, please!"
Seeing Qin Yu arrive, the landlady was unusually enthusiastic. Five minutes later, Qin Yu walked out of the clothing store with clothes that fit perfectly.
Back at the inn, Qin Yu couldn't wait to change into the new outfit. Standing in front of the mirror, Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction.
After putting on the custom-made leather boots, Qin Yu slowly began to wait. Pipa Juuzo hadn't woken up yet, so Qin Yu couldn't do anything about the mission.
After all, Qin Yu had no idea about the mission's target or location. The only thing to do was to wait patiently.
As night approached, Pipa Juuzo, who had been holding it in, woke up from his sleep. He rushed into the bathroom. After a few minutes, Pipa Juuzo, having taken care of his business, looked at the alarm clock.
Finding that it was only seven o'clock, Pipa Juuzo shook his head in disdain. It was only seven in the morning, and he could still carry out the mission even if it was seven in the evening.
Pipa Juuzo went back to sleep. When he opened his eyes again, he found that it was still seven o'clock.
"Eh?"
Pipa Juuzo, seemingly realizing something was amiss, instinctively glanced towards the door. The inn provided a newspaper every day.
Looking at the two newspapers inside the room, Pipa Juuzo's expression changed.
Ten minutes later, fully dressed and panting, Pipa Juuzo found Qin Yu eating steamed buns at a breakfast shop.
"Yo, you're here. Want something to eat?"
Seeing Pipa Juuzo appear, Qin Yu's expression was somewhat disappointed. According to the system's nature, if Pipa Juuzo suddenly died, then the Kubikiribōchō in his hands would be a teammate's legacy, something he could inherit.
Unhurriedly, he put a pork-filled bun into his mouth, Qin Yu watched Pipa Juuzo, who was still gasping for breath.
"Why didn't you call me yesterday!"
Pipa Juuzo was a bit angry at Qin Yu, who was still silently eating buns. The deadline for the next mission was today.
Originally, he had planned to set off yesterday, but he woke up today. This made Pipa Juuzo feel a little exasperated. However, what he couldn't understand the most was why his partner was still leisurely eating breakfast!
"I tried, but it didn't work!"
Facing Pipa Juuzo's somewhat frantic voice, Qin Yu slowly glanced at him and then continued eating his steamed buns.
"Er..."
Hearing this answer, Pipa Juuzo was speechless. He wanted to retort, but he had no reason to.
"Let's go... It's almost too late!"
In the wrong, Pipa Juuzo skipped the topic and ran directly towards the distance. Obviously, the mission target was far away.
Looking at Pipa Juuzo's hurried figure, Qin Yu looked at the steamed buns that were still more than half left and directly took out a few coins and placed them on the table.
"Boss, take-out!"
Half an hour later, Pipa Juuzo, munching on a cold bun, was sprinting towards the distance at his top speed.
He had five hours until the mission objective. If they could destroy the Stone Bridge within those five hours, the mission would be complete. Their two-man team would get three days of rest before their next assignment.
Pipa Juuzo had originally planned to set off yesterday, leisurely make their way there, and then complete the mission this morning.
However, due to a whim the day before yesterday, Pipa Juuzo now had to rush towards the mission location non-stop, just to have a chance of destroying the Stone Bridge before the deadline.
"Aren't you worried about failing the mission at all?"
Pipa Juuzo felt uneasy as he glanced at Qin Yu, who was still quietly following behind him.
"Heh heh..."
In response to Pipa Juuzo's question, Qin Yu gave a mysterious smile.
"Sigh!"
Pipa Juuzo ate a mouthful of the steamed buns with a somewhat unnatural expression. Although failing the mission wasn't a big deal, if he, Pipa Juuzo, failed such a simple task, he would certainly lose face in the Akatsuki Organization.
And Qin Yu's mysterious smile, in Pipa Juuzo's eyes, was blatant mockery. The meaning was probably something like: "The mission failed because of you, what does it have to do with me, Uchiha Itachi!"
This was the meaning that Pipa Juuzo had conjured in his mind. Qin Yu's real thought was: If this guy caused me to lose hundreds of gold coins for nothing, then use the Kubikiribōchō to atone!
After finishing the buns, Pipa Juuzo's stamina recovered somewhat. Seeing that the sun was approaching noon, Pipa Juuzo's speed increased.
Thus, with half an hour to go until noon, Qin Yu saw a Stone Bridge standing to the side.
"Finally caught up!"
Upon seeing the Stone Bridge, Pipa Juuzo breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he took out twenty Exploding Tags and handed half of them to Qin Yu.
"Hurry!"
Pipa Juuzo, standing under the Stone Bridge, immediately grabbed Exploding Tags and stuck them to the underside. Seeing this, Qin Yu also quickly got busy.
When Qin Yu finished, Pipa Juuzo still had two Exploding Tags left to apply. It was understandable, considering that Pipa Juuzo had basically been starving for a whole day and two nights.
Boom!
Standing some distance away from the Stone Bridge, Pipa Juuzo watched the Stone Bridge enveloped in thick smoke and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was still more than ten minutes before noon, and the mission hadn't failed.
The smoke from the explosion cleared, and Qin Yu received the system's prompt as expected.
[D-rank destruction mission completed, obtained Gold Coins X300, Faction Reputation X300]
The simple prompt appeared, allowing Qin Yu to relax. Then he took out steaming hot buns from his storage space and began to replenish his energy.
