"Then I'm going to be the squad leader." Naruto made a request.

"No way!" Tsunade refused without hesitation, "The third class is all honest people, let you be the team leader, and the three of you can be deceived by you." ”

"If you can't get it right, the reputation of the entire Konoha will be lost in your hands."

"Not that exaggerated, right?" Naruto scratched his face, "I'm an honest man too. ”

"Huh?" Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked over quickly and grabbed Naruto's collar, and the large ball that was clinging to it made Naruto almost gasp, "It's better not to lie to them about doing anything strange." ”

"If I find out, you'll be dead!"

"No, no, no!" Naruto scoffed.

Tsunade let go of him, his face still unsightly, and poked his forehead and said.

"I also took you to practice, but you refused to go, and if you didn't do more tasks, how could you improve your strength? In your busy schedule, you have picked a task, and you are picking and choosing. ”

"Next time I hear something like this, you'll come to the office to do chores!"

"Got it."

Seeing that Naruto was finally honest, Tsunade threw him back into the Hokage chair and poured himself a glass of water as well, his red lips slightly open.

"There's something special about this mission." She said bluntly, "A mining village in the country of Kawanoku was occupied by people who claimed to be the Black Hoe family, involving the mining village and the Black Hoe clan, one of the Seven Ninja Swords. ”

"Most likely, that person is the Black Hoe Thunder Fang, one of the Seven."

"Is that man strong?" Naruto couldn't remember who the Ninja Seven was, and he had the impression that the previous generation of Seven had been beaten into the Lucky Three Treasures by Maite Dai.

I have a slight impression of Itachi's former teammate Loquat Shizo, a good misty elite ninja, who was kicked by Maite Dai and became the sister-in-law of the ninja world.

As long as you meet a ninja in Konoha, you must ask if you know a shinobi named Maite Dai.

"Strong? I can't say it. After thinking for a moment, Tsunade knocked on his head and said, "But that batch of the Seven Ninja Sword escaped from the Blood Mist Period, and it is generally not normal here. ”

"Originally, I was going to let Kai lead the team, but he was named by the daimyo of another country and entrusted with a protection mission, so I can only send you."

Hearing this, Naruto's face was covered in black lines, and he sat on the Hokage's office chair and crossed Jiro's legs.

"What do you mean that you can only send me, it's already tiring to be a temporary worker, and it's okay to be a cow and a horse, there must be some practical benefits, right?"

"Huh?" Tsunade's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"No, I mean to say. Paid repair leave. ”

"What did you take me for? Although I am the Hokage, I also have a clear distinction between public and private. Tsunade dragged Naruto open the door and threw it out directly, "If you can't complete this mission, you won't go out of the mission either, come to the office to do chores." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the office slammed shut.

Distinguish between public and private? Naruto was a little speechless, he didn't say that some time ago. The woman was really fickle, and after shaking his head, he stood up and patted the dust off his body and left.

With two hours to go, he wanted to go home and pack his things. But the client was in a hurry, and before he could get out of the Hokage building, he was stopped by Xiao Li from behind.

"Naruto, wait."

"We're going to leave now." Xiao Li, who was wearing a green tights, said.

Hearing this, Naruto looked back.

Xiao Li stood in the sunlight with a serious expression, as if something terrible had happened.

Two figures appeared in the irregular shadows of the Hokage Building, one left and one right, slowly walking out of the building, it was Hinata Ninji and Tian Tian that Naruto had seen.

Both of them did not look very good-looking, and they looked very serious. Naruto could feel that this seriousness was not directed at him, but this mission.

That is, the preparation time for the task is canceled.

"What does it mean to go now?" He smiled and asked, "Isn't there still two hours to prepare?" ”

"I'm sorry, Rokusuke is too worried about the village Kanhachi." A stout and simple-looking man walked out of the Hokage building, dressed as a villager and with a beard on his face.

The man's face was bandaged, as if he had been injured by some blunt object such as a shovel.

Behind him, two other men, dressed as villagers and with thin figures, walked out. I look at the age of about 30, and I have a thick cocoon left by heavy hard labor on my hands.

One was dressed in a blue dress, with thin lips, and the words "not to fool" were written all over his face. The other man squinted and looked like the kind of honest man of moderate people who spoke well.

Glancing at the past, combined with the information that Xiao Li said just now, there was also the six assistants who said it in advance, and the bearded man said that he was worried about Kanba. Rokusuke should be the thin lips, and as for Kanhachi, he is probably some villager in danger.

He didn't remember some details very clearly, but he remembered that the third class did seem to have a task to eradicate the black hoe and thunder teeth, and the whole process was a bit uncomfortable.

As for the source of the diaphragm. Naruto looked at the three villagers who had entrusted him with the task, and subconsciously frowned.

The special in Tsunade's mouth turned out to be waiting for him here.

"Let me explain." Hinata Ningji walked over and said without any emotion, "Their village is being oppressed, and anyone who offends the Black Hoe family will be crucified and buried alive in a coffin. ”

"The three of them desperately escaped for help, hoping that Konoha could help them eradicate the Black Hoe family and help them get rid of the fear of living under death all day."

"Their companion Kanhachi was buried alive, and we may have to leave early."

"That's right!" Xiao Li echoed very energetically.

Tian didn't seem to have any opinions, and all three of them looked at Naruto, as if waiting for him to say, "Then let's go now!" Something like that.

But.

"I don't agree."

Naruto's words exceeded everyone's expectations, and the atmosphere at the scene froze instantly. Among them, the resentment and dissatisfaction almost all came from the thin-lipped villager Liusuke, while Xiao Li Tian Tianning and the three were more stunned.

"Why?" Ning Ci asked, not meaning accountability, just a simple inquiry.

"I'm not ready to go." Naruto explained, "Besides, Xiao Li has obviously just finished training, so he won't be able to travel for a long time without resting. ”

Xiao Li scratched his head: "I can hold on." ”

Hearing this, Ning Ci didn't speak, thought seriously for a few seconds, and nodded.

"Then set off according to the normal mission time and cancel early."

Tian Tian showed a helpless smile, with an expression that could do anything.

Only the thin-lipped villager Rokusuke, who had been silent, suddenly became emotional and shouted, "Are you guys joking! ”

"My companion is still buried in the ground, and you cold-blooded ninjas don't have a heart at all!"
