Chiba saw the changes in Takemoto, and Mizuto and Kakashi naturally saw it too.

Kakashi may not have understood the reason for this change in expression due to his young experience, but Mizumon must be able to understand it.

It was a visceral frustration after discovering that the other person and himself were not in the same world at all. This person named Takemoto should seem to be a very optimistic person, otherwise it would be impossible to be scolded by a person many years younger than himself and still be able to laugh.

But there is a limit to how optimistic you are.

When he realized that Mizumon had become a teacher for two young geniuses at such a young age, Takemoto saw the gap between himself and the other party.

In fact, he already understood this gap, but his optimistic nature allowed him to ignore these perceptions.

But today, when he looked at Chiba and Kakashi, the two young people who were almost able to represent the latest generation of Konoha, he realized that he was no longer young, and the future world undoubtedly belonged to young people, people like him could only be eliminated by time after all, and the gap between him and Watergate would grow bigger and bigger, until they could no longer intersect.

This kind of cruel reality, and the drastic psychological gap, is the thing that can destroy a person's will the most.

And this kind of damage is still beyond the rescue of others, unless he can get out of this knot on his own, his emotions will deteriorate day by day, until he completely collapses and is depressed.

Qian Yu looked at the expression of this Uncle Takemoto, and also felt something in his heart.

If you don't want to be eliminated by the world and time, you must continue to strengthen yourself. In fact, this life is a process of sailing against the current, if you don't move forward, you can only retreat until there is no way to retreat.

This kind of truth, Qianyu in the previous life has not fully figured it out, and now that he is a human being in two lives, life has taught him a good lesson again.

Until he left, Mizumon couldn't say words of comfort, he watched Uncle Takemoto look like he was ten years old for a moment, but the words of comfort were that he couldn't say anything anyway.

In the end, Uncle Takemoto screened out a suitable task for them, which was a D-class mission.

After receiving the task, Watergate seemed to want to say something to the other party. But Uncle Takemoto had already turned away before he could speak, and a younger ninja had come over to take his place.

Mizumon kept looking at Takemoto's back, and only after the other party's figure completely disappeared did he shake his head helplessly.

"Let's go, this is our first mission."

A smile appeared on his face again, but in Qianyu's opinion, this smile was somewhat bitter.

……

In Konoha's mission system, the D rank is the lowest, and this level is usually very trivial tasks, often joined by personal request, and the reward is about 500 to 10,000 taels.

Qianyu and their mission this time is to go to a small village with only a dozen people in the south of Konoha Village, where there is an old man who farms, and because of his age, his physical strength is a little unable to keep up. Recently, the town is the most important time of the year for farming, so there is a lot of fertilization, watering, pest control, and weeding work in the fields, and the old man can't do it alone, so he can only hire ninjas to help.

The commission for the task is only two thousand, after all, the old man farms to make money, and the commission is too high, so the old man might as well not plant this field.

And if the commission of two thousand falls into the hands of Qianyu and Kakashi, there will only be a pitiful one hundred taels, one hundred for each of them, adding up to two hundred, and Mizumon himself will get five hundred, and the remaining one thousand and three will all be given to the village.

One hundred taels of silver is equivalent to about thirty or forty yuan in the previous life, but it can guarantee a day's food, but don't think about saving money, even for some big-bellied people, this money may not be able to fill their stomachs. Therefore, the income of ninjas is not as high as imagined, and the high-income people are always the handful of people at the top, and the lower ninja basically can't make any money, and it is already the limit to not be hungry.

But even for that small group of people, it is not easy to earn this money, high income always comes with high risks, and Qianyu's "parents" are the best examples. And many times these people are not really for money, ninjas are not real mercenaries after all, they are still organized and disciplined, even if you don't give a penny, can you not go if the Hokage asks you to go on a mission?

There are only two possible outcomes if you don't go, either you should be judged and forbeared, or you will be judged and forbeared, in short, there will be no good end.

The gossip is far away.

In short, because Qianyu and the others had just started their mission, they were all given tasks like this.

Chiba and Kakashi had already done psychological construction in this regard, and they would not be disappointed.

The destination of the mission is really close to Konoha Village, only less than a kilometer, and it is more like a small post station than a village.

The old man who released the task was also a very kind person, and as soon as he saw Qianyu and them, he warmly invited them to drink tea and eat snacks. But all of this was rejected by Watergate, and they didn't even drink a saliva and went straight to work.

Qianyu They gathered early in the morning, and they were delayed at the mission for some time, plus the time to hurry, it was already ten o'clock in the morning when they started work, and the sun began to show its power, and the sun was a little hot on their backs. It is obviously impossible to complete the work in the middle of the morning, at noon they eat dry food and cold water, and in the afternoon they continue to work under the sun, which can bake people out of oil. However, they could not rest until dusk, when the sun began to set, and finally completed today's task.

Whether it's Chiba or Kakashi, even Mizumon is tired enough.

When he finally received two thousand taels of silver from the old man, Qianyu was about to cry. It's so fortunate, just to eat enough to be so happy, this is a dilemma he has never experienced in two lifetimes.

However, after hard work, the food is also extraordinarily fragrant.

Because it was the first time to complete the mission, it was more memorable, so Mizuto specially invited Chiba and Kakashi to dinner. He himself is not short of money, although he is from a civilian background, but he is now a ninja, and the mission income has allowed him to live well, even if it is a little extravagant, he can still save a lot of money.

So it's just a meal, and he can still afford it.

Not only can you afford it, but it is also a very famous barbecue feast.

At this meal, not only did Chiba eat with a mouth full of oil, but even Kakashi, who usually likes to pretend to be cool, put down all his pretenses and ate so refreshedly, no worse than Chiha. Qian Yu even wondered if this guy had quietly activated his body with the Thunder Chakra, otherwise why would he be able to lower his chopsticks so fast? You can see the afterimage.

All in all, the first day after Chiba actually became a ninja passed.

This night, Qian Yu also rarely did not cultivate, he basically fell asleep as soon as he got home, and he didn't even bother to take off his clothes.

In the days that followed, Chiba and Kakashi, led by Mizumon, began to complete various missions.

They have helped children find toys, grandmothers have bought things, young men have delivered letters, and little girls have picked flowers...... Anyway, it's all kinds of crushing work.

And just like that, after a series of D-class missions that they had been doing for nearly two months, Watergate called them to the front.

"In the past two months, you have performed very well, you have taken the task seriously and responsibly, there are no complaints, and you are not lazy, and I am very satisfied with you. Congratulations, you have passed my test! ”

There should be applause here.

But both Chiba and Kakashi stared straight at Mizumon, waiting for his next words.

Shuimen scratched his head a little embarrassedly, he didn't expect these two little guys to be so uncooperative with him.

"Well, I'll tell you the truth, my test is to see your character. Regardless of your strength, you must first have a heart strong enough to become a ninja. And when ninjas complete tasks, they often lurk for a long time for various reasons, if you don't have enough patience, how do you complete the mission? So if you can pass my test, at least it means that you are patient enough to become a good ninja.

Not to mention in terms of strength, the two of you are the strongest among your peers.

So next, the difficulty of our task is going to be upgraded, D-level is already in the past, from tomorrow, we have to take C-level, or even B-level tasks, I have only one request for you, after you go home today, rest well, don't do any cultivation, you must adjust yourself to the best state, understand? ”

Watergate looked at his two team members, and his tone was full of encouragement.

"Yes, got it......"

However, what he was waiting for was a one-on-one but weak answer from the two of them.

After two months, they have become very acquainted, and both Chiba and Kakashi have learned about Mizuto's personality, and they know that this person is sometimes quite out of tune. For example, now, everyone is tired, okay? Talking so much, isn't it a good rest to go home? Then let's just disband it early!

Raising the mission level or something, they don't care at all, okay?

In the face of this cold as water answer, what else can Watergate say.

"You must remember, tomorrow morning at seven o'clock in the morning in front of the Hokage building, then now, disband!"

Before the words landed, Chiba and Kakashi had disappeared, this kind of speed, how could it be similar to the previous Qi and powerlessness?

Seeing the two little guys galloping quickly like dogs and rabbits, Mizuto could only smile bitterly and shake his head, he was also a person from the past, of course he understood the hearts of Chiba and Kakashi. He could only express his understanding of this, and then followed with a shake of his body, and also disappeared from the spot.
