Chapter 159 The Craving for a Rank C Mission
"Hey Sasuke, we've been doing D-rank missions in the village the whole time, it's getting a bit boring."
As the sun set, Sasuke and Naruto lay on the grass, the orange-yellow afterglow shining on their faces.
Naruto turned his head and spoke to Sasuke.
After listening to Naruto's words, Sasuke pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I think it's fine."
Unlike Naruto, whose strength has already surpassed that of a beginner, Sasuke's current strength has not yet reached the level he believes he can leave the village.
Although Sasuke usually appears very proud and confident, he still has some understanding of his own true strength.
After all, I can't even beat Kakashi right now, so how could I possibly go out and cause trouble?!
I should at least wait until I have the Mangekyou Sharingan before going out on missions.
Furthermore, Tobirama-sensei recently went back to his brother's side, leaving him with only Izuna-sensei in his belly, which means he has fewer people in his belly than Naruto does.
That's right, Sasuke learned from Izuna and Tobirama that Naruto had a god of the ninja world inside him, Hashirama Senju.
At the same time, Naruto is also a Jinchūriki, and there is a fox inside his belly.
Moreover, his parents left a spiritual imprint in his womb.
When Sasuke learned this, his expression crumbled, he was deeply shocked, and he had no hope for the future.
But how could the heart of an Uchiha be defeated by this?
Therefore, Sasuke plans to work hard in secret, and the recent arrival of Tobirama-sensei has given Sasuke hope again.
Judging from the attitude of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, towards Hashirama Senju, it's clear that Tobirama was stronger.
He asked Tobirama this question, and Tobirama was silent for a moment before saying, "Well, in terms of ninjutsu, I am indeed a little better than my older brother."
Izuna's expression was extremely strange, but he didn't interrupt and just silently suppressed his laughter.
Tobirama makes sense.
After all, he is one of the top forbidden technique inventors in the ninja world. No one can surpass him in his mastery of ninjutsu!
Maybe.
However, Hashirama didn't have that, since he used Sage Mode more often.
Sasuke was unaware of these intricacies, but he felt a sense of hope and wanted to spend more time training.
Now, my main body is out doing missions every day, while my two shadow clones are training at home.
Almost the entire day was packed with activities. In fact, if Naruto hadn't been nagging about saving up mission fees to eat good food, I wouldn't have wanted to do so many missions every day.
If someone saw his mission file, wouldn't they say, "Wow, look! How did the young master of the Uchiha clan manage to get so many D-rank missions?"
After all, there are as many genin who do D-rank missions as stray dogs on the street.
"But I want to go out and explore, and I also want to do missions outside."
Naruto waved his hands and feet on the grass and started rolling around in a rage, causing Sasuke next to him to get a tic-tac-toe mark on his forehead.
With that said, aren't you ashamed of the bunch of people and the fox inside your belly?
Naruto: No way. Judging by the time, they should be watching anime. The teacher watched a really interesting anime called Battle Makabaka. I heard he's learning taijutsu from Makabaka.
Sasuke turned around speechlessly to look at Naruto, whose appearance was gradually deteriorating, covered his forehead, and then patted Naruto.
"Fine, okay then. We'll go tell Kakashi-sensei tomorrow that we want to do a C-rank mission."
Sasuke compromised.
Although their strength wasn't great, they had connections. If any insignificant person tried to bully the weak, then the rest of us would definitely step in.
The next day, in the cabin at Training Ground 4, Kakashi listened to Naruto's request for a C-rank mission and let out a long sigh of relief.
If Naruto and his friends don't accept C-rank missions soon, all the poor souls in the village who rely on D-rank missions for a living will collectively go to the Third Hokage to complain.
Let's reject excessive involution and give our competitors a chance to survive.
Therefore, Kakashi readily agreed to their request and gave them a day to rest, while he went off to find a mission.
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi rubbed his eyes and looked at Kakashi who had come to visit. His eyes lit up when he heard that Naruto was planning to take on a higher-level mission.
"Ahem, what kind of mission are they planning to take on?"
Sarutobi pulled out a long scroll and began searching through it.
"There is an A-rank mission here, which is to investigate the recent situation in Kirigakure."
Sarutobi pointed almost without hesitation to a task that had been on the scroll for a long time: to check on the situation in Kirigakure.
As is well known, Kirigakure, the Village of the Bloody Mist, once fought a fierce war with Konoha, and their Seven Ninja Swordsmen were renowned on the battlefield.
Then, during a mission, he encountered Ebisu, Might Guy, and their team.
If Might Guy hadn't arrived in time for that battle, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Might Guy burned his youth and single-handedly turned the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a trio of misfortunes, marking a turning point in the war against Amegakure.
The ninja swords of Kirigakure were scattered elsewhere, and the Mizuki clan's status in Kirigakure was suppressed, so no action was taken to retrieve the ninja swords.
Since Kirigakure's defeat, Konoha has had little contact with them, but as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Konoha still needs to find out about Kirigakure's situation.
However, their main fighting force is currently concentrated in Kumogakure and Iwagakure. The new Root has already thoroughly obtained information about those areas, but Kirigakure is located in a very remote area.
So, why don't we let Naruto and the others go?
๑Ő௰Ő๑) After all, one either needs to obtain information from inside Kirigakure or information about Kirigakure's destruction.
Kakashi's eye twitched, then he raised his hand and rolled up the scroll, saying weakly to the Third Hokage, "Hokage-sama, they just graduated."
"How about we take on a C-level mission to practice first?"
Kakashi understood that the Third Hokage wanted to hone Naruto and the others because Naruto and the others were very strong, on a completely different level from their peers.
But are you overestimating us by going to investigate Kirigakure, a village that hasn't been visited in years?
I'm fine going, since my eyes have been recharged, but if I bring these guys along, I might not even make it back.
Clearly, Kakashi, unaware of the powerful human inside Naruto's belly, failed to grasp Sarutobi's thoughts.
Seeing Kakashi's concerned expression, Sarutobi smiled and then took out a somewhat special C-rank mission from the cabinet.
"How about this one?"
