Chapter 65: A-Class Mission
"This time, you are going to carry out an A-class mission, go to the country of Kawano, and protect the daimyo of the country of Kawano, this is in the name of the country, he entrusted our Konoha Village to send a team of powerful ninjas to protect the daimyo." The third Hokage handed the quest scroll to Kakashi.
When Naruto heard this, he jumped up excitedly: "Protect the Daimyo? It's exciting! The first mission of the ninja career was to come into contact with a heavyweight like the Daimyo. β
Zilong had a little impression of this country, and said bluntly: "The country of Sichuan? It's a small country between the land of fire and the country of wind, and I haven't heard much of this country. β
Kakashi added, "The country of Kawanokuni is between the land of fire and the country of wind, which can be regarded as a military buffer zone between the two countries, and without his presence, I am afraid that the country of fire and the country of wind will be at war every year." β
The three generations of Hokage also nodded slightly: "Kakashi is right, this time, there is probably a military coup in Kawanokuni, and there will be ninja intervention, so the Daimyo of Kawanokuni urgently needs a powerful ninja team to protect him." β
"Of course, the most important thing is that in this military coup, the influence of the country of wind is included, and I judge that the country of wind is likely to support a puppet daimyo and use it for their use, so I instigated the military of the country of the river to carry out a coup d'Γ©tat."
Zilong wondered, "Is there anything that can be used in the country of Sichuan?" β
The third Hokage explained, "There is no clear evidence, it's hard to say, and you need to go on a field trip to find out. β
"The country of Kawano, rich in mineral resources, gold, silver and copper ores, they have all of them, not only that, but their fishery is also very developed, it can be said that it is a very excellent resource country."
As soon as this was said, everyone immediately understood, most of the land of the country of the wind is covered by deserts, and the sand is raised every day, and the mineral resources are not good, what do you want, there is no strong ninja village in the country of Sichuan, it belongs to a small country, if it can be used by them, the income of the country of wind can also increase.
After all, it's not the time of the ninja war, openly invading a small country, this kind of behavior will be criticized by the other four powers, and it is easy to be jointly targeted, so no big country will invade a small country for no reason and occupy it, but to support the puppet daimyo, this kind of means to be placed behind the scenes, if it is very clever, it will naturally not be criticized and besieged by other countries.
"Don't we in the Fire Nation have any special thoughts about him?" Naruto wondered.
Kakashi immediately denied it: "Stupid, as one of the five great powers, our Fire Country is still very rich in mineral resources, and the geographical location is also very good, the environment is superior, our Fire Country's per capita income is the top of the five major countries, and there is no need to deliberately manipulate a small country to increase their income." β
The three generations of Hokage said with a heavy face: "Okay, that's all for the digression, this time you must protect the Daimyo of the country of Kawano, once he dies, the country of Kawanoku will be in chaos, and then the surrounding powers are likely to intervene in it, in the name of helping to quell the rebellion, and dispatch ninjas to occupy the territory of the country of Kawanokoku." β
After all, the country of Sichuan is still headed for the country of fire, and the mining rights of many minerals are also in the hands of the merchants of the country of fire.
Kakashi opened the quest scroll, looked at it, and asked, "Hokage-sama, what is the deadline for this mission?" β
The third Hokage explained: "There is no time limit for this mission, it can be as little as a month, or as much as a year, so you must be mentally prepared to bring everything you need to bring." β
"The reward for this mission is 1 million taels a month, less than a month, and the reward will be calculated as a month."
Kakashi was a little surprised, "It's worthy of a big name, it's generous, and the A-level mission has reached 1 million taels." β
Naruto opened his mouth and complained, "It doesn't seem to be much, it's not much for the four of us to share the 1 million equally!" β
Kakashi smiled and said, "We ninjas don't only have rewards for tasks, each level of ninjas, the village will pay salaries on a monthly basis, and tasks are additional rewards, how much you can earn depends on your ability." β
"Of course, I also have to correct your statement, Naruto, among the 1 million, the village will take a 20% tax, and when we divide it equally, there will only be 800,000 left, and I, as the leader of the team, can get 50% of the total remuneration, that is, 400,000, as for the three of you, the remaining 400,000 will be divided equally according to the size of the merit."
Naruto was a little unhappy, and he, who was still scrappy, suddenly wilted again, "Ah! The money that is equally distributed to each of us every month is only 130,000 taels! It's still a well-paid task. β
Kakashi's face turned cold, "I said, are you underestimating the mission a little too much?" As a shinobi, why do you think that the money is less? β
"Do you know what the per capita income of civilians is? Do you know what the average income of Shinobi is? β
Naruto shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
At this time, Zilong, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped Naruto directly on the back of the head, "Where did your kid's fighting spirit go just now?" Are you doing tasks to make money? Have you forgotten your original intention? β
Naruto looked at Zilong and shouted, "Big brother....."
"I admit it, seeing my eldest brother make so much money, I am a little psychologically unbalanced, why don't I have that ability? But big brother, you're right, doing tasks to make money is not the purpose, the purpose is to train yourself, everything I do now is to become a Hokage in the future and be recognized by the whole village! β
Zilong smiled and patted Naruto on the shoulder: "That's right, this is the Naruto I know, don't get into the horns of the bull and forget your original intention many times." β
"If I were like you, I didn't have to be a ninja if I just cared about making money, I would just make money by selling super soldier food pills, but my ideal in life is not just to make money, so I became a ninja without hesitation."
Hinata looked at his two teammates, and suddenly sighed: "Zilongjun can always guide people when they are confused, and he is so reliable, there is always a sense of security with him, which can make people's hearts settle down, even if they encounter danger, they can also calm down, because he is there." β
......
The gate of Konoha Village.
Kakashi carried his backpack and said to the three students: "This mission, the main test is the three of you, I am only responsible for following, if you can not let me make a move the whole time, then you can be three, after the mission is completed, you will be promoted when you come back." β
"Alright, that's all I have to say, you can go back and pack your things, I'll wait for you at the gate of the village."
