Chapter 318 A chance encounter?
Uzumaki Naruko gasped for breath, looked at the two masked ninjas lying on the ground, looked at the client of this mission, a sloppy old man named Tazuna, in surprise, and asked in confusion, "
A C-level mission? How come someone who is at least a chuunin appears?"
Hearing this, Dazuna looked at the two tied people on the ground in a panic, and said hesitantly, "I...I don't know, I don't know why there are ninjas appearing..."
Naruko, who was originally happy to finally be able to take on a C-level mission, is now a little solemn. After all, as long as it is a mission with ninjas appearing, it must be at least B-level, especially if it is a mission involving two chuunin. If this is not
After all, if there will be jounin joining in the future, this mission will most likely be classified as A-level or even S-level!
Logically speaking, this kind of task cannot fall into the hands of himself and others, unless there are two situations.
The first type is that the Hokage who issued the mission wanted to murder himself and others, and made himself and others accept missions that did not match the level, and wanted to kill this group of people...
But is it possible? The person who assigned the task to me was my own father! His biological son!
Then... the only possibility is another situation! Thinking of this, Naruko looked solemnly at the panicked mission target... Tatsuna!
"You concealed part of the information, right... In order to gain advantage, you reported a B-level mission as a C-level mission. And from the beginning, you were not prepared to count on the three of us, but our team leader... That's it
Yes!" Naruko narrowed her eyes, looked at the sloppy old man in a very dangerous tone, and said slowly.
After hearing Naruko's words, Sasuke, who had just teamed up with Naruko to bring down the two chuunin, also cast unkind eyes on the old man, not because he allowed himself to accept a task beyond the capabilities of the genin, but because he felt that he was being ignored by this old man.
The guy looked down upon...
As for Kakashi, he never said a word from beginning to end, but looked at Naruko with a face full of relief after the analysis. She is worthy of being the teacher's daughter. This little kid is such a thief...
Naruko's words hit the mark. The old man who was speechless by Naruko sighed in despair, "You are right...but one thing is, I am not doing it because I want to be cheap...but because I have no money at all...
"
Next, there was a pitiful talk about how poor our country is, that I am the hope of the country, that I am being targeted by the underworld, etc...
"Of course you can give up the mission and turn around and leave. I won't blame you, and my daughter and my grandson won't blame the Konoha Ninja Village... After all, you all follow the rules..."
Looking at the old man who was wiping his tears hypocritically but speaking extremely sincerely, Naruko burst into laughter, stepped forward and reached out to pat the old man on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Old man, who said we have to give up the mission?"
Yes...On the contrary, I have to thank you. You know, genin cannot receive this kind of mission, so I will not miss this opportunity!"
Hearing Naruko's words, Sakura ran over in panic, looked at Naruko carefully and said hesitantly, "Naruko-chan, we are still genin... Isn't it normal that we are not allowed to accept a mission of this level?"
Isn’t this a bit…”
Naruko patted her chest carelessly and said confidently, "Don't worry, Sakura! As long as I'm here, nothing will happen. Besides, you see, Kakashi-sensei has no intention of refuting, so this matter is settled."
Oh!"
Hearing these words, Dazuna looked expectantly at Kakashi who was silent on the side, but Kakashi lightly shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression, "You can make up your own mind about this kind of thing.
Well, there is no obvious ninja conflict in this mission. These two are also rebel ninjas from Kirigakure... They should just be ninjas illegally hired by Mr. Tazuna's enemies."
After speaking, Kakashi pointed his finger at the two people who were knocked unconscious and explained seriously, "There are two reasons why genin are not allowed to contact missions where other ninjas appear. One is to protect genin.
Let the genin accept tasks within their capabilities. The second reason is to ensure that the international situation is not broken by ignorant genin..."
After finishing speaking, Kakashi spread his hands and showed an indifferent expression again, "But it seems that you don't need this level of protection, and the rebel ninja has nothing to do with the international situation... Plus I'm here too,
So you just have to figure it out yourself!”
Hearing these words, Naruko jumped up with joy, "Great! I knew Kakashi-sensei was the best! Then it's settled! Don't go back on your word!"
Uchiha Sasuke also nodded with satisfaction. Obviously, he was also looking forward to this mission. Only Sakura was still a little hesitant, but seeing that the other three companions were full of confidence, they could only give up.
…
Seeing that these three ninjas were not ready to give up on this mission, Dazuna burst into tears and bowed to several people moved to express his gratitude. "Thank you so much. Your kindness will never be forgotten."
In this way, a group of five people once again embarked on a journey to the Land of Waves... Sakura suddenly ran to Naruko and whispered to Naruko, "Naruko-chan, you are so amazing! You can actually defeat the chuunin!"
Your father...Hokage-sama must have taught you a lot!"
There were three parts of admiration, three parts of yearning and three parts of envy in her tone... Hearing what Sakura said, Naruko sighed helplessly, "My dad? He doesn't have time to teach me... The Hokage's work is very busy.
I have to live at my grandpa's house all the time...so my grandpa helps me with my usual cultivation...but recently he suddenly stopped caring about me..."
"Huh? Grandpa? Is that the very young grandpa from last time? Why did he suddenly stop teaching you?" Sakura exclaimed and asked in surprise.
Naruko rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Who knows what he was thinking, but one day he suddenly stopped teaching me, and said that I was not ready, and that he would wait until I was ready to say anything... I guess he
I’m just too lazy to move! I’m really pissed off…”
Kakashi on the side heard Naruko's complaint and said helplessly, "So, Naruko, you just don't know the blessings in the midst of blessings. Not everyone is qualified to accept Master Ashes' teachings... No one else can ask for it."
Come on, in the entire Konoha Village, the number of people who have truly been taught by Ashes-sama can be counted on one hand..."
Hearing Kakashi's sigh, Naruko was a little surprised, "Oh? Really? Grandpa Ashes is so popular? Who has he taught!"
Sasuke on the side said slowly, "I have heard of someone who is a member of our Uchiha clan. His name is Uchiha Kagami. Kagami-sama seems to be a second-generation disciple like the Sandaime..."
Kakashi nodded, "That's right. Master Jing is the first disciple of Master Ashes, and he is also the only disciple now..."
Naruko tilted her head and looked at Kakashi curiously, "But... didn't you say how many people Grandpa Ashes taught? Why is there only one disciple?"
Kakashi sighed softly and said helplessly, "You don't need to know who the other people are for the time being. You just need to know that they have only learned from Lord Ashes for a period of time and are not Lord Ashes' disciples, because Lord Ashes treats him badly."
The requirements of my disciples are really too strict..."
Naruko curled her lips in disdain and said with disbelief, "Strict? With his usual lazy look...why don't I believe it at all!"
Kakashi suddenly widened his eyes, looked at the three boys in front of him, and said with disbelief, "This is no joke. You know, it took Master Uchiha Kage thirty years just to graduate from Master Ashes."
Years long!”
"Three...thirty years! Kakashi-sensei! You are not joking! Are you remembering it wrong? No matter how much you say thirty years, it is too exaggerated..." Naruko looked at Kakashi in surprise and said
It looks like you took the wrong medicine.
Kakashi sighed softly and said helplessly, "Why are you lying to you? When I was still an ANBU, I also specifically checked the files. Almost every year, Lord Ashes and Lord Uchiha Kagami had to conduct several graduation exams.
...But Master Jing has not graduated from Master Ashes for thirty years..."
Just as a few people were chatting, a heavy fog suddenly enveloped the surroundings. This strange fog aroused the vigilance of several people...
Kakashi looked around calmly, and then quietly gestured to his three subordinates... The three of them understood it and slowly walked away, leaving Tatsuna, who was still unaware of anything.
Within their warning range...
The group of five people moved forward cautiously, but the heavy fog came and went just as quickly. After a while, the heavy fog that had just enveloped the five people dissipated inexplicably...
Kakashi looked around in surprise, and then whispered to several people, "Be careful, don't let your guard down, the enemy may not have left yet..."
Hearing Kakashi's words, Dazuna was shocked. He looked around nervously and then asked softly, "Um...were there any enemies just now?"
Naruko didn't look back, and responded with a cautious look on her face, "I don't know, but the heavy fog just now was very strange. Considering that the ninja who attacked us before was a member of Kirigakure, it is very likely that he was from Kirigakure."
Technique…”
Four ninjas protected Dazuna in the center, with Kakashi taking the lead. The five of them cautiously and slowly moved forward...
After a while, a sudden sound came from the woods in front of the five people. Kakashi cautiously stopped and looked at the trees in front of him quietly.
After a while, two people slowly walked out of the woods. When they saw the five people in front of them, they smiled and said, "Oh, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here..."
