The large bright sun hung just above the horizon, hitting all houses, buildings and people of Konoha, signifying the early start of a new day. This included Laiz and his students who had the perfect perspective from their large table besides the cafe's window. Outside the window, you could see this view as clear as glass despite the tall buildings and houses in the village in appreciation to the large pedestrian that split everything into two. This created a straight, unobstructed line towards the rising sun, as if nothing can get in the way of nature.

"Sensei, are we finally staring our first mission?" Boruto turned to Laiz and stood up in excitement. Laiz chuckled as he switched his attention to Boruto and let out his usual smile.

"Yup, I've talked to the Hokage about it so we can go today. Right now though, we have to receive the details from the Hokage himself" Laiz informed as he sipped his coffee slowly in appreciation of the heavenly drink.

Sarada shifted on her seat, finding Laiz expressions uncomfortable

"Umm.. Aren't missions classed in rank? What rank is the mission we're taking?" Sarada asked partly curious but mainly to stop Laiz's self absorbed attention with the cup of coffee..

"You're right, missions are ranked from D to S.. From that, we'll be taking a C-rank mission" Laiz stated and he raised his hands in attention for a waiter.

"What would you guys like?"

Laiz ordered for a full meal, while the other three asked fewer things as they already had breakfast before leaving their home. The rest of their time was basically spent on little talks and occasional arguments between Boruto and Sarada which always somehow managed to involve Mitsuki.

...

Laiz left the cafe with a satisfied stomach as Boruto, Sarada and Mitsuki followed not too far behind him.

"When are we leaving for the mission?" This time Mitsuki asked the question

"As soon as we receive it" Laiz said sidedly as he waved to a few familiar faces walking past him. He really did garner a lot of trust and popularity due to taking so much D-rank missions. Now, he has to deal with the occasional appreciation and attention whenever he walked in public. Not that he minded, of course.

"Wow.. I thought you were new to Konoha..?" Boruto could only stare in amazement at the fact that Laiz could get this much recognition in a short amount of time. Mitsuki and Sarada nodded along, now that they thought about it, even Boruto didn't get that much recognition from people. And he was the Hokage's SON.

Laiz let out a small laugh in response, if he told them that he did it through countless D-rank mission voluntarily, they probably wouldn't be as amazed. He sighed as he ran his fingers through his face, and said seriously

"..It must be my face"

Boruto and Sarada stared at Laiz flabbergasted at Laiz's expression, it's as if he found it bad to be 'Beautiful'. Mitsuki walked past the two and stopped short from Laiz, he inspected Laiz's face closely, who in response gave his widest smile as well as a peace sign

"Must be.." Mitsuki said as seriously as Laiz. Boruto and Sarada couldn't help but protest at their friend's confidence feeding. Sarada shook her head while Boruto sighed beside her

"You're kidding.. No matter how true it may seem, you can't just agree with her so honestly.."

Mitsuki and Laiz stared at the two before glancing at each other, they started walking as they both chuckled mysteriously.

...

"Listen up," The Hokage, Naruto looked at Laiz's team, the tree Genins in particular and started

"The mission you will be taking is C-rank. The objective is to protect a carriage throughout it's journey to a village at the middle of Konoha and Sunagakure"

"May i ask what is inside the carriage?" Sarada spoke up and asked towards her role model.

"There's actually to carriages, one is filled with trades made in Konoha and another is their unused products" Shikamaru spoke from besides Naruto and took out a scroll containing the actual request from the client.

"Hah! This'll be a piece of cake after all!" Boruto smirked in confidence

Naruto frowned,

"This may be a C-rank but, what's truly important is teamwork and co-operation. You could fail if you don't take this seriously" Laiz could already see the complexity of Boruto and Naruto's relationship. He may have not watched a single episode of the series but he still watched little clips to know a bit. From what he could tell both had their faults in the matter, of course he wouldn't say that here. It would seem rude after all.. He can just do little things from the sidelines.

"Right, right" Boruto agreed uncaringly. Naruto could only sigh at this and finish it off.

"That's basically the gist of your mission, if you encounter anything unexpected, make sure to report it, especially if it increases the rank of the mission.

Laiz and the three genins nodded, although Boruto seemed a bit reluctant at following this order, actually any order from Naruto. Laiz smiled, and looked back to his three Genins

"Are you guys ready?"

Boruto, Sarada and Mitsuki nodded in synchronization
