[X] Winter Trip with dad.
Event roll - 1d100=8

Your father, it appeared, was willing to accept you wanting to learn the trade as it were. But here and now, it wasn't the fun and easy stuff.

No, now he worked you to the bone after school.

"Well, since I don't need to sell it to you, but you're selling it to me, of course I will take you for every yen." was all that he said when he assigned you to work with his workers as they loaded the wagons of the caravan.

You learned to appreciate your chakra enhancement skills. More than that, you learned to appreciate how hard your father's workers had to work. Each and every load was heavy, and he kept shuffling you about in the menial positions.

When you had the time to think about it, there is the realization that this did more than build up your strength and stamina. It gave you a healthy look at what your future employees would have to do while in your employ. That this wasn't all fun and games.

When winter came for you with its holiday from the academy, your father told you that you would be accompanying him on a trip. There was no discussion, it was simply an accepted fact that you would go.

Packing your pack didn't take long. Helping load the wagons, on the other hand... that was long, given that it was heavy crates of steel ingots being loaded up in the wagons.

The trip was more you looking out the wagon as you headed eastward. The first stop effectively was Wave country where some of the steel was offloaded for Gatou corp, while the caravan took on more cargo in the form of perishable and non-perishable food before setting sail in one of Gatou's ships.

While you didn't get to meet Gatou again, you did get to meet his samurai. They were nice and gave you sweet meats and fruits.

Eventually, the caravan was let off in Water Country. Your father had explicit instructions for you to not show off your bloodline limit, and if asked about any chakra ability you had... you were a drop out from the Konoha academy and nothing more.

You had to nod at him awkwardly.

Still, the land was rather foggy in the morning.

o/~ We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy o/~

The inner you is hummming as you help unload the caravan wagons. Oddly, your father has had you doing the normal light work that girls in your age group can do... namely, inventory of what was unloaded.

Certainly, you remember the lessons in class, of the political realities in other villages and countries. While the classes were slanted somewhat towards making Konoha and the Fire Nation sound good, it still did an excellent job of teaching you certain things.

For one, Kirigakure the Village Hidden in the Mist or as it was otherwise known, the Village of the Bloody Mist, and its host had certain issues with bloodline limits due to the civil wars that had raged within it. Ninja or even just civilians with bloodline limits escalated things faster and harder than normal people.

So much so, that there was a certain discrimination if one demonstrated ability beyond what one normally could.

The other was that they were paranoid, those Kirigakure. Not that you could fault them, after all, an ally today was an enemy tomorrow. And you were merchants from the Fire Country, and thus suspect by fiat of being outsiders. Even so, the amount of checks in the roads to determine that you were legitimate was a tad eye-rising.

Which might explain why you had been told to behave and restricted from actual taijutsu or overt chakra usage. Which was why you had stayed with just doing your drawing and painting as the caravan had meandered about the Country of Water. They didn't demand tolls, but they did inspect the caravan and its crew to make sure that there was nothing shady going on.

In your eyes, it was those brooding nins from Kirigakure that were shady with the way the older ones simply radiated bloodlust all the time.

Especially when your destination was Kirigakure itself. You knew this based on the architecture, the fact that there were active nins everywhere with Kiri headbands, and then there was the fact that the mist just wouldn't leave despite the sun being up in the sky.

Thankfully, the items being unloaded were luxury items; namely fine Fire Country rice wine made from rice grown in Earth Country. Thus was the web of economy strengthen with the transport of exotic items that were pricey due to their rarity and how desirable they were.

Seeing as the customers were assorted high end restaurants as well as businesses, it's not a surprise that there were Kirigakure nins on hand observing the transactions to ensure that there were no funny business, and that you were paid properly. Also that the Kiri businesses paid their tariffs on their purchases.

Okay, so it might NOT all be the fact that you're foreigners but possibly also a matter of taxation.

You can see why your father didn't like tax collectors, nor the assorted businesses and merchants he had to deal with. Still, you were introduced to a number of businessmen of Kirigakure as the heir of Haruno International Trading. You got to shake a lot of hands, and smile and people and get offer sweet meats and candies.

Okay, this wasn't TOO bad as things went.

With the last load of wine unloaded and delivered to the last customers, you find yourself with some free time and some spare change. You're also given explicit instructions not to go to far, and of where the caravans would be for the next two days, and the location of the inn that the caravan workers would be resting at.

You're allowed to run about.

The question is... should you?
