Chapter 1035 D-level tasks

Before you know it, noon has arrived.

Under the scorching sun, three Kaiban team members were on the riverside, struggling with the dense plastic garbage floating on the surface of the turbid sewage.

Cleaning up the river is their mission today.

"Ouch!"

Her feet slipped and she fell into the dark yellow river. The stench filled her nostrils. Linglong managed to hold up her arms. After standing firm, she bent down and retched with a look of pain on her face.

"Linglong! Are you okay?"

Not far away, Xiao Li exclaimed, quickly put down the garbage bag in his hand, ran to his companion, and patted his back with concern.

A few seconds later, Linglong vomited a lot and poured all her breakfast into the river.

"Teacher Kai, let Linglong have a rest."

Neji noticed the situation on Linglong's side, and shouted loudly to Akai, who was lying under the tree on the river bank, and received a "yes" reply.

With Xiao Li's help, Linglong walked out of the muddy river step by step, exhausted. Her pink vest, which was originally clean and tidy, was now covered with stains and exuded a stench.

Bang, bang, bang!

Shaking off the cans hanging above his head, he fell down and lay on his back next to Akai. He stared blankly at the blue sky and murmured to himself:

"Why? Aren't we full-time fighting ninjas?"

"Why do you want to do this kind of task?"

Akai removed the novel that covered his face and looked at Linglong lying beside him. He didn't dislike her dirty look. He patted her on the shoulder and patiently explained:

"The essence of doing this kind of D-level production task is not to create any specific results. The important thing is to hone your willpower and lay a stronger foundation."

"During the war, D-level tasks were all assigned to production ninjas, but now there is peace. For the sake of your growth, the village has left this kind of task for you."

"The main purpose is to exercise, and at the same time, it can be regarded as saving a certain amount of expenses. After all, tasks below B level are voluntary labor and are covered by the monthly salary."

Having said this, Akai paused briefly, put his hands behind his head, changed into a more comfortable position, and added with emotion:

"I think back then, we didn't even do D-level missions..."

"As soon as I graduated, I went straight to the battlefield. I don't know how many people died at the same time. Children of your generation are really bathed in the sunshine of peace."

Teacher Akai rarely showed such an expression, as if he was lamenting the prosperous years of his youth. Linglong's heart moved and she looked at him curiously:

"Teacher, I heard that the number of produced ninjas is much greater than our fighting ninjas. Why are they rarely seen in the village?"

After pondering for a while, Akai lowered his head and thought: "The ninjas produced are basically transformed from ordinary people. You should know about the fifth generation chakra reagent, right?"

"I know." Linglong nodded.

"Privately, we call production ninjas reagent ninjas. Most people who receive injections, after becoming ninjas, are rarely willing to take the path of fighting ninjas due to problems such as excessive age and lack of talent."

"In short, they are not the material."

Akai put his hand on his forehead and frowned slightly, as if he was trying his best to think about something. After he had organized his words, he began to answer Linglong's doubts head-on:

"That was probably five or six years ago... Congress launched a proposal, which was supported by the majority of members. It was about excessive military spending and called for comprehensive disarmament."

"That is, from that time on, the reagent ninja gradually moved away from the sequence of combat ninjas and began to engage in production and construction work."

"The fighting ninjas left behind are basically elites."

"I accidentally heard Kakashi mention that there are currently more than one million production ninjas in the country, while there are less than 100,000 combat ninjas."

"As for your question... the village could still see many production ninjas in the past few years, but in recent years, the scale of development has gradually reached saturation, and so many people are no longer needed."

"So, they naturally left here."

Remembering the graduation test task last year, Linglong felt a little uncomfortable, but she also had a vague understanding, so she asked Akai in a tentative tone:

"Teacher Akai, those production ninjas shouldn't be doing very well, right?"

Akai glanced at Linglong in confusion, as if he didn't understand where this question came from, he simply scratched his head and said in an uncertain tone: "It should be okay, right?"

"To be honest, I don't know much about this either."

As a traditional ninja village jounin, Akai rarely leaves the village except when performing tasks. Even when performing tasks, most of them are delivering information and escorting important people.

According to Minato's evaluation, Kai is the kind of ninja who bathes in the sun. He can't do tasks that are too dirty or too dark.

In contrast, Linglong's last instructor, a former intelligence ninja named Huang Sheng, and Akai were basically at two extremes.

You can tell just from the temperament.

Realizing this, Linglong didn't ask any more questions, silently remembered the information Akai described in her heart, and stood up like a carp.

"Teacher Akai, I'm ready to rest!"

Although her body was extremely sloppy, it did not cover up Linglong's radiant temperament. Under the shining sun, her big eyes shone brightly and were full of vitality.

"Aren't you going to take a break again? It's only a few minutes, right?"

Akai looked at Linglong in surprise, and his tone was slightly discouraging. For the only girl in the team, his requirements were relatively loose, at least not like Xiao Li and Neji.

"For the sake of your dreams, you can't be lazy!"

Giving a thumbs up to Akai, Linglong imitated the teacher's signature move, smiled heartily, and showed her white teeth, which made Akai stunned for a moment.

But immediately, he reacted and smiled:

"Yes, youth will never stop!"

"Come on! Linglong!"

Watching Linglong jump into the river with a splash, and the sewage splashed on Ningji, causing a series of complaints, Akai smiled, then returned to his calm, and covered his face with the novel again.

'Linglong... you still have to find some answers on your own. As a teacher, I neither can nor should interfere with your life choices.'

'But anyway...'

'I hope you can make this country a better place...'

Closing his eyes and enjoying the coolness under the shade of the trees, Akai reviewed the previous conversation and felt that there was no big problem, so he let out a breathless breath.

After guessing Linglong's identity, although there was no abnormality on the surface, in fact, Akai's importance to this female apprentice increased by several orders of magnitude.

In his free time, Akai carefully collected some exquisite admission information and the specific reasons for repeating a grade last time, trying to be aware of it.

Try your best not to bring Linglong astray.

The possible next ruler of the Empire of Fire is a being named Linglong. Even though he is as arrogant as Akai, he has become cautious when it comes to educating the other party.
