22. C-level tasks
The three dragged the serpent out of the forest until they reached Exercise Ground 44, an entrance to the Forest of Death.
"Oh, you're moving so fast." Zhongnin, who is in charge of the statistical work, marked on the form, "The lost No. 13 spotted snake has been successfully recovered, and the task is complete." β
"Master Gongdao, it seems that I don't need to add you another cup of hot tea."
Kime came out of the cabin and responded, "Thank you for your hospitality, Tayoshi. We'll talk next time I have time. β
"Hey, you're so kind."
Gongdao took the three of them towards the center of Konoha and said as he walked, "Your efficiency is quite good, and it has saved me a lot of time. β
"Captain Gongdao, we've done so many boring D-class missions, when will we be able to take on more advanced missions?" Ebisu couldn't help but complain, "I still want to learn ninjutsu as soon as possible."
Gongdao stole a glance at Ginta, and found that Ginta still maintained a happy smile, as if he didn't care about ninjutsu.
"Is this kid very good-natured? Or is it not positive? β
For a while, Gongdao couldn't tell what Ginta really thought.
It is expected that Ginta, who is talented and comes with a special chakra, should be the child who is most eager to acquire new ninjutsu.
But he didn't know that Ginta had no housing pressure, and recently found that brushing D-class tasks could meet the needs of food and clothing, and the idea of messing around took hold again.
If no major events happen in the ninja world, I'm afraid that Yinta will be able to survive until he is old.
"What you said does make sense...... Gongdao pondered for a moment and said to the three of them: "Then let's take a day off tomorrow, and gather at the task release office at 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow to see if there are any suitable C-level tasks." β
"Yay!"
β¦β¦
On the morning of the third day.
The three of them arrived at the mission release on time.
After Kimekoto arrived, the four members of the team walked into the office building together and came to the three generations of Hokage.
"Hokage-sama, the sixth class has come to pick up the mission." Gongdao opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know if there is a C-level mission today?" β
Ape Fei Ri slashed through the task list while smoking, and then nodded slowly: "Your team has completed more than 20 D-class missions, it's time to take on more responsibilities."
Here's a commission I just received yesterday, which should be more suitable for you......"
Gongdao took over the commission from him, and soon understood the thoughts of the three generations of Hokageβthis was to let Ginta and them see blood.
After the end of the long war, Konoha is anxious to restore the combat effectiveness of the village, and in order to cultivate ninjas who can take charge of themselves as soon as possible, these ninja school student unions are more valued than ever before, and the training efforts are also greater.
"No problem, we're ready to go." Gong Dao replied.
Seeing this, Sarutobi ordered the middle shinobi beside him to notify the task client.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a small beard followed the administrative shinobi into the task office.
He was about 40 years old, and he was mild-mannered, and through the introduction of the three generations of Hokage, the four of them knew his name, Yujiro.
"Hokage-sama, are you really going to send three children on such a dangerous mission?"
Yujiro looked at the team that received the commission, and his expression was a little stunned.
As soon as Ginta saw his performance, he knew that this guy was probably the first time he had come to Konoha to invite a ninja.
However, this is not surprising, the country of fire has a population of hundreds of millions, but Konoha only has nearly 20,000 ninjas, most of whom are still adult lower ninjas, commonly known as cannon fodder, and it is normal for many ordinary people to never see ninjas in their lives.
In particular, the children who graduated from the ninja school were originally trained as captain-level elites, and as long as they did not die accidentally, almost everyone could be steadily promoted to the middle ninja.
Yujiro obviously didn't know that he had made a lot of money, and Ebisu immediately expressed his dissatisfaction:
"Hey, uncle, we're very good at shinobi, ordinary C-level missions, it's completely handy for us."
This kid in sunglasses is so stupid...... But this captain of the upper ninja seems to be more reliable, so it should be fine...... A thought flashed through Yujiro's heart.
In the end, he had no choice but to agree.
It is said that ninjas are very difficult creatures to mess with, and although he has never seen them, he still tries to keep a low profile on other people's territory.
"Then please, I don't know when I can leave?" Yujiro looked anxious: "I'm sorry, because my village is being attacked by wicked people, please forgive me for being unreasonable." β
Gongdao looked at the location of the mission, turned to Yintai and the three of them, and said, "Prepare 7 days' rations, and gather at the gate of the village in half an hour." β
Then he looked at Yujiro: "We will be able to complete the task in no time, as for how much time we will spend on the road, it is completely up to you." β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you very much. β
β¦β¦
Returning home to tidy up the ninja equipment, bringing rations and food pills for emergency use, Ginta locked the door of his house and walked out of the village with the package on his back.
When they arrived at the village gate, they found that everyone else was already in place.
So the Gongdao team immediately completed the registration and officially stepped out of the Konoha gate.
This is the first time that Ginta has left Konoha since crossing over, as is Ebisu and Kira.
They gazed at the trees on both sides of the road with great interest and were curious about everything outside the village.
But the feeling quickly dissipated.
In addition to the trees, they are still trees, and the pure green scenery along the way directly extinguishes their passion.
On the way, Gongdao took the opportunity to explain the mission information.
"The location is a village called Holy Soul Village in the north of the Fire Country...... The specific task is to clean up the bandits in the nearby mountains, numbering about 10 more than ......"
Yujiro immediately added: "This group of bandits has occupied the fruit groves in our village, causing everyone's income to plummet, and they even often rob and kill people. β
"Our improvised convoy is no match at all, and many young people have died as a result...... "He couldn't help but look sad.
It's really a ninja with flowing water, a bandit with iron...... Ginta thought speechlessly.
"Cleaning up the bandits?" Ebisu held his sunglasses steady, looked at Kimekoto's expressionless face, and asked in a low voice, "How should I clean it up?" β
Gongdao turned his head and glared at him, "What do you say?" Do you think it makes sense to get rid of them? β
Ebisu and Kira look at each other, and each can detect the other's nervousness.
The first time you leave the village, you have to kill someone, which is completely different from the paper talk of the ninja school, and it is really difficult to keep calm.
Yujiro didn't know what to say.
Are these ninjas really reliable?
These two kids are completely novices, and they don't seem to have even killed anyone......
"That...... I'd like to remind you that the enemy leader is a very powerful guy who is said to have the strength to rival the ninjas, but I'm not sure if it's really ......" Yujiro said with some confusion:
"In addition, he has domesticated a very terrifying tiger, almost as tall as you......"
"If it really doesn't work, we can also help our village solve this tiger......"
Yintai looked at this client strangely, and felt that he seemed to be hiding something, otherwise there would be no need to talk so much.
With Konoha Village's reputation in the Land of Fire, the employer would actually doubt the ninja's efficiency?
Kime Gongdao calmly interrupted Yujiro: "You can't help but trust us too much, right?"
Each member of my team can easily eliminate hundreds of soldiers, and since I have accepted the commission, I will definitely solve the target cleanly. β
Yujiro felt that the sword was too good to blow...... But the terrifying murderous aura in the other party's eyes made his heart contract, so he shut up instantly.
"Okay, okay."
