The next day, on the small bridge next to Training Ground 3.
"This is so boring! Why isn't Kakashi-sensei here yet…"
Sakura stood by the bridge railing, looking up at the bright sky and complaining.
"Exactly, exactly! I woke up extra early and came here specifically ahead of time."
Naruto, yawning repeatedly, leaned on the railing, eagerly agreeing. "You know he's always late, yet you still came so early. You're just asking for trouble!"
Sasuke leaned against the railing and said casually, already looking forward to today's training.
As long as he got Kakashi's approval, then the unexpected C-rank Lightning Release he gained last night would be his!
It would perfectly fill the void in his Lightning Release. "What do you know, Sasuke… When Kakashi-sensei comes today, he'll be settling yesterday's mission payment.
This is my first mission payment, how can I not be excited!
I wonder how much the payment will be this time, will it be a few thousand Ryo…"
Naruto immediately perked up, gesticulating wildly, his eyes gleaming with golden light and anticipation.
Suddenly, Sakura next to him was also encouraged, her eyes shining. With money, she could buy pretty clothes and invite Sasuke-kun out for a meal and a date.
How she longed for it… "Yo… Good morning, everyone…"
Just as the two of them were showing their money-grubbing expressions, Kakashi's figure slowly appeared.
"Kakashi-sensei…"
"Hand it over!"
Naruto and Sakura, caught in their financial fantasies, immediately stretched out their hands and shouted excitedly.
"What is it??"
Looking at their nakedly greedy gazes, Kakashi scratched his head, confused.
He didn't know he owed them anything. "Money, they want yesterday's mission payment!"
Sasuke interjected helplessly, taking two steps forward to stand beside them.
"Ah, so it's that… I was wondering what it was!"
Kakashi suddenly understood, and under the excited gazes of Naruto and Sakura, he put his hand into his pocket.
"Here, one for each of you…"
Soon, Kakashi pulled out three money slips from his bag and handed them over.
The three of them had different expressions and quickly reached out to take them.
"Five hundred Ryo? Why is it so little??
Kakashi-sensei, you didn't embezzle it, did you…"
Seeing the amount, the overjoyed Naruto's face fell, and he questioned him.
Sakura next to him had a similar expression!
This was far less than the amount she had expected. "You two idiots… It was just a D-rank mission, how much payment do you expect!"
Black lines appeared on Kakashi's forehead, and he pointed at their noses, annoyed.
"Alright, alright… Then I'll explain the Ninja payment system.
So that if there are changes when you perform missions in the future, you'll know how much to increase the price…"
Seeing Naruto and Sakura's dejected faces, Kakashi calmed himself and said, seizing the opportunity.
This immediately made all three of them, including Sasuke, perk up. "Regarding Konoha's mission payments, they are roughly divided into five tiers.
D-rank missions, which is the mission level we performed yesterday.
The payment is roughly between five thousand and fifty thousand Ryo, depending on the mission difficulty, decided by Hokage-sama and the client.
C-rank mission payments are between thirty thousand and one hundred thousand Ryo.
B-rank is between eighty thousand and two hundred thousand Ryo.
There's no use for you to know about A-rank and S-rank mission payments for now, so I won't talk about them!
And these mission payments do not equal the actual mission reward.
For every mission, the Village takes a certain percentage.
Then, on top of that, the guiding sensei also takes a certain percentage.
Because while we are serving as guiding sensei, we lose the time to do other high-level missions.
Of course, exceptional circumstances are excluded… Do you understand what I'm saying?
For example, the payment for this D-rank mission was five thousand Ryo, you three got one thousand five hundred.
The Village took five hundred Ryo… The remaining three thousand Ryo is my share for leading the team."
As Kakashi's words fell, Naruto and Sakura, who had gradually calmed down, widened their eyes again.
Is the Jonin's cut so severe? He took six-tenths of it by himself… "Enough, Sakura, Naruto…"
Seeing that the two of them still wanted to ask more questions, Sasuke immediately spoke to stop them, not wanting to continue this boring topic.
"A Jonin leading a team taking a 60% share is actually not that much.
Taking three thousand Ryo for a D-rank mission, we only perform a few D-rank missions a month.
Even if it's ten times a month, that's only thirty thousand Ryo.
In a month, a Jonin going out alone to perform any B-rank mission would get more than fifty thousand Ryo.
60% is really quite reasonable!
Kakashi-sensei, what's our mission today…"
Sasuke directly used data to shut them up and got to the point.
He wanted to finish today's mission quickly to train and then receive the system reward.
"Well, you don't have a mission today.
Come with me, I'll guide you in your training today since I have nothing else to do…"
Kakashi gave Sasuke a satisfied look, then turned and led the way into the nearby woods.
The fact was just as Sasuke said, a Jonin acting as a guiding sensei was definitely a losing business… To be able to understand others like this, Sasuke truly was a youth who inherited the will of fire.
"Today's training course is Chakra control…"
After a few steps, they arrived in front of a large tree. Kakashi looked up at the tree trunk and said slowly.
As soon as he said this, Naruto and Sakura both looked bewildered… Chakra control, what kind of training is that!
[Tree climbing training, huh… ]
A hint of surprise flashed in Sasuke's eyes, but he wasn't surprised by this.
This was good too; with someone guiding him, he wouldn't have to train blindly!
"Looking at your expressions, I can tell you haven't truly understood Chakra.
You three, watch carefully…"
Kakashi glanced casually and said calmly, then, under the shocked gazes of Naruto and Sakura, he lifted his leg and stepped onto the tree.
"Don't…"
Sakura saw this and instinctively cried out in alarm, fearing Kakashi would fall directly.
However, in the very next instant, Kakashi, defying gravity, walked up the tree as if on flat ground… "H-how is that possible…"
"He actually walked straight up!"
Instantly, Naruto and Sakura were once again greatly astonished, their faces filled with disbelief.
"It's like this… Concentrate a certain amount of Chakra on the soles of your feet, use the Chakra to adhere to the tree trunk, and climb the tree with your feet…"
Kakashi hung upside down from a branch, just like in the original story, explaining the technique and purpose of tree climbing training.
"Begin…"
As Kakashi's words fell, Sasuke formed hand signs and gathered Chakra at the soles of his feet.
In a breath, a Chakra wind pressure appeared from Sasuke's feet, blowing up a circle of dust… Then, he burst forward, drawing a kunai and heading straight for a nearby large tree.
He wanted to first confirm if his training talent had increased after transmigrating. "Thump, thump, thump…"
Under the acceleration of his dive, Sasuke rushed up seven or eight meters before feeling his strength wane.
He marked the tree trunk and landed gracefully with a backflip.
[Is that all? ]
Sasuke looked at the height of only seven or eight meters and frowned; this was far from his goal. "Sasuke, you're so sly… You actually got a head start, I won't lose to you…"
Naruto next to him immediately reacted, forming hand signs and bursting towards another large tree.
The fleeting Chakra wind pressure made Kakashi's pupils constrict. [What an astonishing amount of Chakra… The amount of Chakra hidden within Naruto has already surpassed mine!
And Sasuke's Chakra has already reached the level of an elite Chunin.
these two are really true geniuses!]
