Chapter 20: Back to the Village!
"Ling, you ......" Rei Kitano looked at Ling Uchiha with complicated eyes.
She had a lot of thoughts going through her head.
Ling shouldn't be like this, although he doesn't like to talk and has few friends, but he should be that sunny and handsome little Zhengtai.
Instead of the executioner in front of him, who slaughtered more than a hundred lives without changing his face.
Is this what a ninja is? Is this growth?
Kitano Rei felt a little chaotic in her mind, the excitement of the departure had long since vanished, and at the moment she just felt that the war was so cruel and so sad.
"But I'm going to be a good medical ninja, well, I will.
When the time comes...... I'll heal my grief. Rei Kitano said firmly in her heart.
Uchiha Ling saw Rei Kitano looking at him, his face was as usual, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"The task has been completed, let's report to the teacher."
"Okay." The two nodded in response.
……
Outside the village, Uchiha Haratake lay on a stone and pretended to sleep, but from the slight frown on his brow at that time, it could be seen that his mood at the moment was not as relaxed as it seemed.
For Takeshi Uchiha Hara, who has experienced sad memories, the three imps in the class are like his children.
However, he knew that the path of the strong had to be walked out on his own, and too much intervention would only be counterproductive, so he only needed to guide it properly.
However, this is their first time on a mission, and it is a real battle, and it is false to say that they are not in a hurry, especially the Uchiha Ling in the team.
Ling attracted the attention of the family with the first grade in the whole grade, so the family was very interested in this genius.
Now that there has been a big rift in the relationship between the family and the village, Uchiha's power has been tied up in the guard department, and Uchiha wants to change, so he naturally attaches great importance to the genius Uchiha Ling who was born out of nowhere.
The family also made a lot of effort to lead the team to the next place to ninja, just to better protect and cultivate him.
After learning that Ling had actually opened the Writing Wheel Eye at the age of nine, there was a lot of shock in the entire Uchiha's upper echelons.
Therefore, if something goes wrong with Ling in this mission, then the pressure that Uchiha Haratake will have to bear can be imagined.
From the perspective of Uchiha Haratake, Ling is the only child of his cousin Yusuke, and he can be regarded as his nephew, although Ling is talented and his strength far exceeds that of his peers, but in the end it is the first time to fight, and the anxiety in his heart can be imagined.
Listening to the intermittent sound of explosions in the village, his heart fluctuated.
Until three figures appeared in front of him and walked slowly towards him, his hanging heart finally put it in his stomach, "This group of little ghosts is really worrying." ”
Ling walked straight towards Yuan Wu, his face as calm as ever.
"Teacher, the mission is complete, none of the 153 bandits escaped."
Uchiha Haratake nodded, a little relieved and a little proud, and even Ling felt a trace of pity, how could this be the emotion that a quasi-shadow-level powerhouse would have?
He patted Ling on the shoulder and smiled with some relief: "Very good, you can have such a perfect performance in the first mission, you are really good." ”
Kitano Ling hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Teacher, these bandits are basically solved by Ling alone, and the two of us ...... We didn't do much to help. ”
"Oh?" Uchiha Haramu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "Yes, then Ling is really doing a very good job, Ling and Fumino don't have to be discouraged, next time you will definitely do better." ”
"But we ......"
Ling interrupted her and said with a smile, "We're companions, aren't we?" ”
"Haha, Ling is right, don't say those unhappy words, the task is over.
Speaking of which, Ling, in the first actual combat mission, it was really beyond my expectation that you could accomplish so well. Uchiha Haratake said.
"Thank you for the compliment, since I was five years old, I already had the consciousness of being a ninja." Ling's eyes lit up and he said Kan Kan.
Uchiha Hara Takeshi secretly said in his heart, "Is it the death of his parents that made him grow up, but he has to bear these at a young age, alas, I don't know if it's good or bad." ”
"Let's rest in the village tonight, I'll be on duty at night, everyone have a good rest, and hurry back to Konoha early tomorrow morning." Uchiha Haratake said.
"Then thank you, teacher."
……
Two days later, a group of four people rushed back to Konoha in the dust, and there were no accidents along the way.
Came to the task hall, settled the task reward, 10,000 taels and four people divided it equally, and Ling got the first money he earned by himself - 2,500 taels.
It was a lot of money to get two thousand five hundred taels for a C-level mission, but Ling knew the inside story of these tasks.
Tasks like this during a war are usually issued directly by the Daimyo of the Fire Country, and the richness of the Fire Country is the first in the ninja world, so the Daimyo of the Fire Country is very rich.
However, the village will take a large part of the reward paid by the daimyo, and the rest will be given to the ninjas who carry out the mission.
For the Uchiha Ling, who made money for the first time, he was still in a very good mood.
After leaving the mission hall, he proposed, "To celebrate the first mission of our first class, why don't I treat everyone to ramen?" ”
"Okay!" Rei Kitano responded by clapping her hands happily.
Uchiha Haratake twitched the corner of his mouth and complained: "Last time I invited you to eat barbecue, but you invited me to eat ramen......"
"Ah, haha, the ramen made by the teacher's ramen restaurant is delicious.
But if the teacher likes to eat barbecue, then you can treat us next time. ”
Uchiha Hara said he didn't hear what the other party was saying.
After a meal, looking at the ten empty bowls in front of Yuan Wu, Ling seriously suspected that he was taking revenge on himself.
Feeling Ling's murderous gaze, Uchiha Hara Takeshi waved his hand stupidly and said, "The ramen made by the boss is really delicious, I seem to have found something amazing." ”
"Yes, my uncle's ramen is famous." Rei Kitano responded with a smile.
……
"In the future, when there is no task, I will guide your cultivation, and tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning, the training ground will be assembled."
Uchiha Hara Takeshi paused and continued:
"Ah, that's it for today, everyone disbands and goes back to rest, remember not to be late."
"Got it, teacher."
"Teacher will see you tomorrow......"
After saying goodbye to Uchiha Haratake, Ling did not go home, but came to the training ground.
Unexpectedly, I met Obito who was training.
"Oh? Did this little ghost actually change his sex, and he actually knew that he had taken the initiative to cultivate. Ling couldn't help but think to himself.
"Hey, Obito." Ling stepped forward to say hello.
"Ah yes Ling, have you come back from your mission?" Seeing Ling, Obito's eyes lit up and stepped forward to ask.
"Yes, I just settled the task, and you kid actually knew that he had taken the initiative to cultivate, and the sun came out in the west." Ling said teasingly, a smile on his face.
"How come, Young Master Ben is working very hard." Obito's face turned a little red, and then he couldn't wait to ask:
"Ling, isn't it interesting outside the village, is Ling still at war with the ninjas?"
"Of course, I've defeated a hundred enemies by myself," Ling said with a smile.
"Wow cool! I will be so powerful in the future, so I will continue to cultivate. "Obito has a confident face.
Ling smiled, these guys with slow brain circuits are really much happier!
