Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Jack Askin
"In this dangerous world, the more tools you have to heal yourself, the better. Therefore, this mission has no collection limit. The more you collect, the better, and the more money you will earn." Eina then explained this to Obito, who nodded his head in agreement, understanding.
"Alright, I will take this mission." Obito said, pointing to a mission, that was to collect Redrus.
"Good, the mission has been confirmed. You can go through the Eastern Gate Entrance. That's where this plant usually grows, although it's not easy to find a plant that is widely scattered."
"Also, if you want to collect the plant, please be careful not to break its stem. If possible, gently pull it out of the ground along with its roots." Eina explained in detail how to collect the plant that was the mission's objective.
"Of course! Thank you for the information! Oh, can I borrow a bag or something to carry the plant back?" Obito suddenly spoke up, realizing that it would be difficult for him to bring the plant back without a container.
"Senia, please get the rattan bag usually used for collecting plants." Eina said this to Senia, before turning to Iren.
"Iren, please get the gardening tools." Eina said this to Iren, before looking at Obito.
"It would be much easier if you had the proper equipment. Don't worry, we will deduct a little money for the tools we lend you. After all, the better the results you get, the better it is for us." Eina said calmly.
"Is that so? In that case, thank you." Obito said with a smile, before Senia and Iren came back with the rattan bag and gardening tools, which consisted of a small hoe and a small shovel.
"Thank you, I'll be going now!" Obito then left, while Senia looked worried and asked anxiously.
"Will he be okay without any equipment? Because... eighty percent of those who go out of the Fortress City alone are quickly killed." Senia muttered worriedly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Obito is a strong man. Besides, searching for Redrus plants won't make him go too deep into the forest." Iren tried to reassure Senia.
"..." Eina remained silent and closed her eyes.

Obito, walking on the road while carrying the rattan bag, immediately attracted attention, especially with Obito's appearance wearing a black cloak and a mask, making him look very suspicious like a criminal planning evil deeds.
Then Obito arrived at the Eastern Gate Entrance, seeing various people who were gate guards. Obito was then stopped by a man wearing protective clothing made of thick black fabric and iron plates.
"Who are you! Tell me your name! Remove your mask! Show me your identification card!" Hearing the rapid and consecutive questions, Obito was taken aback.
"My name is Obito Uchiha. This is my Mercenary Army Membership Card, and..." Obito handed over his Membership Card before slowly removing his mask, revealing his half-destroyed face. Instantly, the man who was part of the Gate Security Guard was shocked and silent.
The Gate Security Guard then briefly checked the authenticity of Obito's Membership Card before calling someone to verify its authenticity. After a while, the person who had left earlier returned and confirmed that the Membership Card was genuine.
"Alright, thank you for your cooperation. I apologize, friend, this is something that must be done. Just put your mask back on, I understand that you're trying to cover up the injury you have. Don't worry, friend, you will surely have a good life. Your name is Obito, right? My name is Jack, Jack Askin. Just call me Jack."
