Chapter Seventy-Seven
"What did you say?"
Mao Yue Xiyan felt that she might have heard it wrong, so she asked again.
Itachi smiled with a faint smile.
"I said, let's go with the D-class mission. It's a bit safer that way.
Izumi and I have just become shinobi, and I don't know how to do ninja quests at all, so let's start with the simplest quests. ”
Mao Yue Xiyan was choked by Itachi's words, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Itachi for a long time, and finally sighed, handed back the C-level task scroll, and chose the D-level mission of "Looking for Cats".
After all, she asked Itachi to choose, and now that Itachi chose so, as the captain, she can't regret it.
Mao Yue Xiyan's fingers pinching the D-class "Find the Cat" task scroll turned slightly white, barely maintaining the smile on the surface, and the river and sea were already turned over in her heart, and her lungs were exploding.
Mao Yue Xiyan secretly swore in her heart that next time, she would directly decide the difficulty of the task as the captain, and no longer let Itachi choose.
She never expected that this handsome guy who looked strong would choose the "finding cat" task that would fall out of line at first glance.
It's not the first time she's in contact with Meng Xinshinobi.
The other young ninjas, as soon as they got the ninja forehead, were all elated and triumphant, eager to let the world know that he had become a real ninja.
Loser tasks like this kind of catching cats and dogs, they generally don't look down on them.
Itachi's answer was completely beyond the imagination of Mao Yue Xiyan.
But what you promise, you have to do it, and this is also the duty of the captain of the lower ninja team.
Utsuki Xiyan looked at this Uchiha Itachi's eyes, and couldn't help but start to feel a little contemptuous.
Ever since she was given a special mission by the Konoha higher-ups, she has been hiding in the shadows to observe Uchiha Itachi.
Can.... Nothing of value has been observed.
This little boy named Uchiha Itachi took the little girl Izumi around the Fire Country early in the morning, and then acted chivalrous, bringing some inexplicable craftsmen and the like to the clan land, and then going out shopping.
It's been a whole month, and I don't see any problems.
If there is any suspicion, it is that this little boy has recruited more than a dozen craftsmen from the Fire Nation to his Uchiha clan this month.
She reported all these truthfully.
But Konoha higher-ups replied the same as she thought, and it wasn't a big deal.
The analysis of Konoha executives is that Uchiha Itachi was once distressed because he couldn't throw it, and because he wanted his classmate's shuriken to point at the tiger, he also hired craftsmen to imitate it.
It's completely a child's heart, so there's nothing to worry about.
Mao Yue Xiyan also thinks so.
In this ninja world where ninjutsu is respected, there is no big problem for the ninja village clan to hire craftsmen.
Even if the shuriken or kunai were produced in large quantities, it would not be a sign of disagreement with the village.
This can be seen from the Fourth Ninja World War.
When encountering a shadow-level powerhouse, the ordinary kunai throwing and shuriken throwing are simply children's play, and they can't pose any threat.
It can be said that standing still and throwing can be unscathed.
For example, in the Fourth Ninja World War, the second generation of Mizukage faced the attack of the ninja alliance.
The second Mizukage instructs the ninjas on how to attack him in public, and details the shortcomings of his own ninjutsu.
But the shuriken throwing of a group of ninjas is like scratching the boots, it doesn't hurt or itch, and it can't hurt the body of the second-generation Mizukage at all.
And the second-generation Mizukage casually used a ninjutsu, and the ninja alliance couldn't resist it at all.
Of course, this is still the strength of a shadow-level powerhouse.
If it's Madara Uchiha, Senju Pillar... Something else, that's even more to say.
In other words, in the ninja world, shuriken and kunai are not even controlled knives.
Even if the Uchiha clan hired craftsmen to produce kunai, shuriken and other ninja tools in large quantities, it could not be regarded as a core resource for war reserves.
The most important thing in the ninja world is people.
Therefore, when Utsuki Yuyan looked at Uchiha Itachi again, the contempt in his eyes was even worse.
And I also have some complaints about the high-level Konoha in my heart.
It's just the eldest son of a timid and fearful Uchiha patriarch, so why do you need to assign yourself to spy on him.
Mao Yue Xiyan is not a person who can pick and choose tasks, but she still has some unhappiness in her heart to let a dark reserve accompany a six-year-old child to play a game of catching cats.
"Now that you've decided on this task, it's up to the two of you to complete it yourself.
For such a simple task, you don't need me to lead the team, you can figure it out yourself. ”
Utsuki Xiyan handed the task scroll to Itachi's hand, shook her purple hair, and left Itachi's sight with a few vertical jumps.
Seeing Mao Yue Xiyan's contemptuous eyes, Itachi smiled slightly, didn't care at all, and opened the task scroll in his hand.
The task requirements above are also simple and straightforward.
Help a Fire Nation merchant find one of his lost kittens.
Then there is the businessman's description of the kitten's specific characteristics: an orange cat, slightly fat, with a cat tag around his neck.
There is also a portrait of a kitten sandwiched on the scroll, which is convenient for further confirmation of the cat's body features.
The task requirements are also simple and straightforward, which is to help find the kitten.
After reading the requirements of the entire quest scroll, Itachi also had the idea of "finding a cat".
There are two keys to this task, the first is how to complete the task as slowly as possible, but not to displease the businessman.
The second layer is to complete this task without revealing any strength.
The reason is also very simple.
That is to delay the task time and give yourself and your family more time to grow and develop.
Itachi can guess that another so-called C-class escort mission is definitely not as simple as it seems.
You must know that the first C-level mission that Prince Naruto took over in the seventh class was when he encountered the rebel ninja of Fog Hidden Village, and Momochi, who had the strength of the elite upper ninja, was never killed.
Although it is not known if there is a problem with the other C-rank quest scroll, Itachi has no need to try.
Let a sleeping dog lie.
You know, he's an empty shelf with a badly empty chakra right now.
So many wooden clones need chakra, and each wooden clone is the key to growing in strength in the future.
So on the contrary, it is the Itachi itself, and the chakra holdings are only retained for one-tenth of it.
I can't adapt to the high-intensity battles that are too tense and exciting.
Like this kind of cat and dog catching task that other people can't look down on, he is tired of it, and he can't wait to do it every day.
However, he knew that this time he was caught off guard by Mao Yue Xiyan.
The next mission will definitely be arranged clearly.
Therefore, this ordinary D-class mission must be dragged out well.
