The lower ninja was promoted to the middle ninja, in addition to the middle ninja exam, there was also the direct appointment of the Hokage, like Aoi and Kakashi, who were directly promoted.

How Kakashi was promoted in the original manga, Aoi is not clear, and Kakashi seems to have participated in the middle ninja exam in the anime, but now Kakashi was directly promoted by the Hokage, I don't know if Aoi changed the plot.

Shigeki doesn't have that much luck and has to take the Chunin exam to be promoted. However, in the eighth class, basically Ebe Akira was guiding him to practice, and he grew up quickly. According to Akira Ebe's evaluation, there is no problem with his promotion at all.

……

There are not so many cumbersome ceremonies for being promoted to a formal member of the dark department, and a formal notice is gone, and for Aoi, it is nothing more than being able to perform tasks.

The New Year is approaching, and the dark part is also very busy. This ninja world is actually very developed, but it's just because of Chakra technology. The Land of Fire is vast and productive, and Konoha is the largest village in the Land of Fire, so it does not close the village in peacetime except during wars, and commerce is naturally developed.

There is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going, all trying to make enough money to welcome the new year. They brought all kinds of goods with them, and they also brought all kinds of tasks, which of course was a good thing for the village. Of course, these businessmen don't bring all the good things they bring. There are also all kinds of spies that every country hates and can't get rid of to infiltrate the village, but they can't be choked and eaten, this is the explanation that Eagle made to Aoi.

Then he asked the juniors who were doing the task for the first time,

"Mu, this is your first official mission in the Shadows, to spy on a merchant named Araki. The difficulty of the mission is tentatively set at grade C, I hope you don't mess up. ”

Aoi looked up a little puzzled, will there be low-level tasks in the shadows? Seeing Aoi's doubts, Takashi explained,

"It's a C grade, but you can't judge it so simply, because that's when nothing happened. If there is a situation, the mission level will be raised to the level of B or even A level, how can such a dangerous task that cannot be judged be handed over to Shinobi to do. Even if there is no danger, the shinobi may not be able to do well, isn't it just us? ”

It does make sense, this kind of mission itself is not so glorious, and it is accompanied by unknown dangers, and it is impossible to appear in the mission office of the village with great fanfare, and this kind of mission is secretly issued and received by the village.

Aoi continued to ask, "Isn't it a chance to let these businessmen in at this time, and blatantly send spies in." ”

It's still early, Eagle patiently explained,

"Mu, you underestimate the village system too much. When a merchant enters the village, he senses the presence of a ninja and is limited in the amount of time he spends in the village, so spies generally don't choose this way to sneak in.

And all the people who accompanied them will be registered. When they go out, their range of activities is also limited, and sometimes they have to enter the venue to complete the intelligence gathering mission, and they can't even reach important places. The surveillance mission is more inward, taking this opportunity to find out the spies that exist in the village. ”

There is the existence of perceptual ninjas, especially in Konoha Village, and there is a blood inheritance limit like white eyes, and it is really difficult to do things, but it is not absolute.

Aoi wondered, "Isn't the village afraid of these merchants taking out the information collected by the spies lurking in the village?" ”

Eagle chuckled, "Where are there so many spies, as if every merchant is a spy connector." Mu, you have too many ideas, isn't the meaning of your and my mission to prevent what you say from happening, and the most important thing is to do your own thing. ”

Also, this is a matter for the top to consider, it's not her own business, Aoi just needs to care about her own tasks.

"Alright, Senior Eagle, let's go."

The mission outfit is a black trench coat with a hood that extends to the knee at the hem of the trench coat, making the whole trench coat look a bit like a cape.

The trench coat is very breathable, and it doesn't feel hot when you close the zipper and put on the hood and mask. Aoi moved casually, of course, not as comfortable as usual, but it didn't affect the battle. After wearing this outfit, he felt a little more solemn, and the whole person was hidden in a black trench coat, like a messenger of darkness.

The eagle's outfit is similar to that of Aoi, but the trench coat is beige. Noticing Aoi's gaze, Eagle explained,

"It's the detachment leader's attire, it's easy to recognize. If something happens to me and there is an emergency, the other squad leaders have the right to mobilize you to cooperate with the mission. ”

Aoi is speechless.,This doesn't count as a flag.,I hope the mission is okay.。

"Let's go!"

The eagle on the mission was very fast, and Aoi ran after him on the rooftop, feeling the scenery around him retreat at high speed. When approaching the business district, Eagle gestured, and the two stopped on the roof.

"Scatter!"

Aoi left the roof where she was standing in a teleportation, found a spot to perform the floating technique and hidden, and the boring surveillance mission began.

Araki fits Aoi's impression of profiteers. Not tall, fat, big ears, can't see the neck, small eyes, and often squinted, always feel like thinking about something, like a pregnant woman's big belly, looks like a very chic life.

To be honest, the monitoring task is really not a good errand, so let's not talk about the boring, and I will unconsciously make comparisons.

Araki had a very chic day, and after talking about business with others, it was indispensable to have another meal, and then he would go to the Fengyue place to play, which reminded Aoi of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas.

Look at yourself again, when you are hungry, you will nibble on some soldier food pills, which is very unpalatable. Staying motionless for such a day is somewhat similar to military training in the previous life, but it is much more painful than military training.

In fact, Aoi doesn't think this kind of surveillance has any effect, Araki won't be stupid enough to contact the spy just after coming to Konoha, and it is the fastest to directly catch and cast illusion interrogation, but unfortunately the proposal is not allowed. That's what the eagle said at the time,

"We're just suspicious, it's better not to do this until it's critical, it's a huge blow to Konoha's prestige, who will dare to come to Konoha to do business and release tasks in the future. And it's useless to catch him, the spy is still lurking in the village. ”

Darkness gradually filled the sky, and the entire Konoha Village gradually fell into a deep sleep, without the hustle and bustle of the day.

At the end of the mission, I went back after meeting up with the eagle, and the other dark ninjas in the squad took over.

This day's surveillance, Eagle asked with some concern,

"How about you, the official mission of the Shadows is boring."

Aoi replied weakly, "One thing, especially when I see that guy eating and drinking spicy food, it's very unpleasant to compare his own soldier food pills." ”

Aoi's words made Takashi laugh, "The tasks of the dark department are like this, it's okay, you will get used to it in the future." ”

Aoi said helplessly, "Give me some combat missions next time, I'd rather fight the traitor than stay like a fool for a day." ”

"There will be a chance, I'll go first, Asuka is still waiting for me."

Aoi rolled her eyes, turned and left. I also need to write a task progress report.
