When dEx was finally feeling better and allowed to leave the hospital she and Shadow headed home. When she got there her aunt and uncle had a note for her from the Hokage. dEx opened it up and read the note. It read
Quote:
Now that you have become a Chuunin I would like for you to complete a Chuunin level mission before you go back to your training. The mission is to retrieve a box of weapons that was lost on the last shipment that came through the forest.
dEx folded the note back up and smiled at her aunt and uncle.
"I've got my first mission already." she said as she put the note into her Chuunin vest. Then she looked down at Shadow and smiled. She figured that it would be fun since she and Shadow spent quite a bit of time in the forest. Who better than to track down something there. He aunt looked at her with concern on her face.
"Are you sure you're ready for this?" she asked. dEx smiled and nodded to her as she ran to her room to gather up supplies. The answer didn't seem to satisfy her aunt.
"Don't worry dear. She's even stronger after that battle than she was during it. I'm sure that she and Shadow can handle it." said her uncle. Her aunt looked at him and finally nodded.
"I just don't think I could go through having her get killed like her parents did. She's just like them always wanting to try to protect everyone else." she said before they walked back into the kitchen. dEx and Shadow gathered up some rations and weapons for their trip.
"Alright Shadow it's time to get going." she said as she walked out of her room towards the front door. Shadow barked and ran along after her. Soon they were outside heading towards the forest to begin their first C ranked mission.
