Drake opened the door to the Konoha Fairy Tail branch and stretched greatly in the morning sun.
What Drake was most satisfied with about this branch was its location. It faced south and was bright and transparent. The most important thing was that it was located on Konoha's main street.
It was precisely because of this that they had received that bandit extermination request that had opened up the situation.
When doing the task, Natsu might have just acted according to his habits, but the result was unexpected.
Now many people knew that there was a place called Fairy Tail where they could accept requests like a ninja village, and the reward could be decided by themselves.
The money that Drake had exchanged after coming to the ninja world, after deducting the cost of buying the real estate and the construction costs, was enough for the group to live for several years.
And everyone hadn't come to this world to make money in the first place.
So as long as someone was interested in those requests, they would accept them without looking at the reward. Of course, no one would pay attention to those requests where the reward was so low that it was clear that they were just trying to take advantage.
So the number of requests on the guild's display board gradually increased, and everyone began to get busy.
It was also very interesting that ordinary small requests like finding cats and taking care of children wouldn't be given to Fairy Tail. It was obviously more cost-effective to find Konoha for these requests.
So what Fairy Tail was taking away were the more dangerous requests.
This was even more to everyone's liking. They had come to this world to experience more danger!
But for a group of mages who could fight against Six Paths-level opponents when they erupted, even the highest-level requests were really limited in danger.
At first, everyone wasn't familiar with fighting ninjas, and they were indeed flustered for a while, but later they were able to cope with it freely.
After enjoying the morning sun and fresh air, Drake's gaze swept across the entrance of the guild, and he walked back into the guild with a mysterious smile on his face.
Drake didn't know that he had missed the famous scene of the Third Hokage regretting his actions, but he had really sensed the several auras that had appeared outside the guild.
Because the most ninjas they had encountered during previous missions were only Chunin-level, everyone's deepest impression of ninjas was their ability to hide themselves.
But for Drake, who had learned various enemy-searching skills, even if they hid their figures, Chakra, and even their scent, they couldn't escape Drake's all-round perception.
In the alley across from the guild, behind the roofs of the buildings on both sides, and among the surrounding pedestrians were ninjas who were monitoring Fairy Tail.
Drake could even distinguish that they weren't a group through their auras.
Although these ninjas had similar auras, it was easy to perceive the difference between the two groups. Because the aura of one side was not only as cold as a machine, but also exuded a bloody feeling.
Drake of course guessed their identities. They should be the Anbu directly under the Hokage and the Root led by the Hokage's assistant, Danzō.
Drake had expected this situation a long time ago. After all, he had known that Konoha would take action when he had decided on the action strategy.
But he didn't expect to attract the attention of that guy Danzō so quickly.
The Root and Anbu appearing at the same time meant that Danzō had definitely acted privately without Hiruzen Sarutobi's permission.
There was a reason why Danzō had so many black pots on his back. His shit-stirring style was simply putting the pot on himself.
Although being monitored was very unpleasant, they could watch if they wanted to! As long as they didn't do anything extra, Drake would just treat them as a few extra doormen.
A few more days passed, and everyone had become familiar with the situation in the ninja world. Just as Drake was thinking about whether to go out and cause trouble next, a special request appeared on the guild's display board.
Drake raised his eyebrows as he looked at the contents of the request.
Gajeel, who was chewing on a kunai that he had snatched from an opponent during a previous mission, said, "What's wrong with this task? You seem very interested!"
Everyone else in the guild had gone out to work, leaving only Gajeel, who had just completed a delivery request.
Drake nodded and said, "It is indeed a special request. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've done a request together. Let's go together this time!"
The request was to escort Tazuna, a craftsman from the Land of Waves, until he completed the construction of the bridge connecting the Land of Waves to the outside world.
Although it wasn't stated on the request, since they needed to hire someone to protect him, it meant that they would likely need to fight.
But the reward for the request was very low. It couldn't even issue a C-rank task to hire a Genin in Konoha. At most, it could issue a D-rank task to order a kid who had just become a ninja to do chores.
It was only because Drake and Gajeel didn't care about the reward that they were willing to accept the request.
According to what was said on the request, Drake and Gajeel met the client, Tazuna, at the Konoha Gate the next day.
He was a burly old man with a wine bottle in his hand and a face full of vicissitudes. But the old man had a stinky face and looked unhappy.
And what Drake was more interested in was the group of four people around him.
A silver-haired man with a Konoha forehead protector covering one eye and wearing a mask. A noisy kid with blond hair and six whisker marks on his face.
A black-haired boy with a cold face and looking like he didn't want to talk to anyone. And a pink-haired girl who was circling around him.
It wasn't a short time since he had been in Konoha, but it was the first time Drake had seen the protagonists of this world, Team 7, which was composed of the Jōnin Kakashi Hatake, and the Genin Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno.
But the fact that they were here meant that Tazuna had not only issued a request in Fairy Tail, but had also issued a task in Konoha.
It seemed that he was afraid that Konoha would abandon the task after the fact that this mission might involve fighting ninjas was exposed, so he was treating Fairy Tail as a backup plan.
The reward was so low probably because he was just trying it out, and he himself didn't have much hope.
The Land of Waves had been controlled by the black-hearted businessman Gato for too long, and Tazuna still had to build a bridge, so he didn't have enough money to pay for a corresponding B-rank task.
So he could only try to find a way while hiding information. It was also difficult for him to be so unscrupulous.
Drake and Gajeel walked over and said to Tazuna, "You're the client, Mr. Tazuna, right? We're the mages from Fairy Tail, and we're in charge of your request this time."
Tazuna looked at Drake and Gajeel, who had a fierce look and didn't look easy to mess with, and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You guys look more like it! Unlike Konoha, who just sent a bunch of brats to protect me!"
Before Drake could say anything, Naruto Uzumaki jumped out and said loudly, "What did you say? If I didn't not want to do those cat-finding tasks, I wouldn't be willing to protect you, you old man!
And you guys, this is my, Naruto Uzumaki-sama's, first high-level mission, so don't come and mess it up!"
Looking at the finger that Naruto Uzumaki was pointing at Drake, Kakashi Hatake's breathing became hurried.
As a Konoha Jōnin, he of course knew the detailed information about Fairy Tail. And he knew that the leader of Fairy Tail was this man with the red scale scarf, Drake.
That boy Natsu, who had collapsed the mountain, also obeyed this man's orders. That meant that this Drake might have even more powerful power.
Naruto Uzumaki's behavior of provoking him in person was too dangerous!
Drake glanced at Kakashi, who was showing a vigilant aura, smiled, and directly ignored Naruto Uzumaki and said, "Mr. Tazuna, can we set off?"
"Hey, don't ignore...!"
Naruto Uzumaki was about to say something when Kakashi grabbed him.
"Alright, even if the client hires other people, it won't affect our mission. Just be honest!"
Saying this, Kakashi carried his luggage on his back and followed Tazuna, who had already taken a step and walked out.
Sasuke, who was also carrying his luggage on his back, also walked past Naruto Uzumaki, glancing at him and saying, "Idiot!"
Naruto Uzumaki immediately got angry and said loudly, "Stuck-up Sasuke, what did you say? Hey! Wait for me!"
Drake shook his head as he listened to the noise behind him. The "savior" of this world was really childish now!
