Konohagakure
Under the clear blue sky and white clouds
"Sasuke, here. Arrived at location B," Sasuke whispered into his earphone, staring at his target in the woods.
"Sakura, arrived at location C," Sakura's voice came through the headset.
"Naruto, arrived at location A," Naruto's voice followed.
"Naruto, you're too slow. The best opportunity has been missed, the target has moved! All action, chase quickly."
Kakashi commanded through the headset.
Sasuke's chakra exploded, and he pounced on the target at rapid speed.
"Meow!"
With a heart-wrenching scream, Sasuke grabbed the cat's neck, clamping it tightly.
"Sasuke-kun is so handsome," Sakura said, appearing shortly after, shouting in a sweet voice, once again demonstrating the strength of the atmosphere team.
"Finally caught you, little kitty," Naruto said, arriving with a whoosh, grabbing the cat, chuckling.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Naruto," Sasuke said, happy to see this, letting go to hand the cat to Naruto.
At the same time, he pressed the headset beside his ear and reported:
"Orange tabby, red ribbon on the right ear. Confirmed to be the mission target, Tora."
That's right, Sasuke and his friends were carrying out Konohagakure's classic genin missionâthe mission to capture the lost Tora.
At this time, it had been almost a month since Sasuke and the others last had dinner together.
At the last dinner, just as Sasuke expected, no rewards were triggered.
As for his target Hinata, Sasuke temporarily gave up after a brief contact.
Hinata now was more introverted and self-deprecating than the Hinata after the Chƫnin Exams.
Even if she could come up with useful suggestions, she couldn't bring herself to say them given her current personality.
So, Sasuke shifted his target to Neji.
This month, apart from getting another 20,000 ryĆ of money and 0.1 units of chakra, Sasuke did not receive any other rewards.
However, in terms of ninjutsu, he had already learned Lightning Release: Snake Lightning and Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique.
Apart from that, he carried out six D-rank missions intermittently.
Hokage Building
"Tora! Ahahaha, my cute Tora is finally found. I was really worried to death, my Tora!" The Fire DaimyĆ's wife said, hugging Tora and starting to smother it, as Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura looked stunned.
This made the three of them shudder.
Even Sasuke, who knew the plot, was the same!
Knowing and live witnessing were not the same feeling.
"Well, the D-rank mission for the missing cat is complete. So, Kakashi's next mission is," Hiruzen Sarutobi said, puffing out smoke rings, beginning to look for the next task.
Naruto clenched his fists, muttering those boring and dull D-rank mission names, preparing to go out.
"Don't! I don't want to do these boring and unchallenging tasks anymore! Are there no other tasks?"
"I want to carry out more difficult and exciting advanced tasks!"
Naruto shouted, unable to hold back, bursting out under Sasuke's expectation.
The expressions of the Third Hokage, Kakashi, and Iruka Umino changed at the same time.
'It's about to begin. The long-awaited Wave Country mission, the first battle of Team 7's transformation.' Sasuke thought, sighing, watching the passionate Naruto engaged in a verbal battle with Iruka.
Regarding this mission to face the elite jĆnin, Sasuke did not change his mind about the plot.
Being Sasuke and knowing the plot, if he didn't even dare to face a guy like Zabuza, how could he covet the power of Ćtsutsuki?
"I see. Naruto, you are no longer that mischievous brat," the Third Hokage said, lowering his hat, speaking in a complicated tone.
The Nine-Tails Jinchƫriki leaving the village was a dangerous act in itself.
But since Naruto was allowed to graduate and become a ninja, he had already been mentally prepared for this day!
During this period, he also witnessed the rapid growth of Sasuke and Naruto.
Especially Sasuke, who already had the strength of an elite chƫnin.
It's almost time.
"Then please come out, Mr. Tazuna," Hiruzen said, his expression becoming serious, turning around and shouting.
With a swish, the door was pushed open.
A strong smell of alcohol instantly hit.
"Yeah? Who is this drunk old man?"
Naruto asked excitedly, fanning the strong smell of alcohol from his body.
"He is the client of your mission, Mr. Tazuna. Naruto, this is a C-rank protection mission. I'll leave it to you from now on, Kakashi," Hiruzen said after a brief introduction, giving Kakashi a special look without expression.
Kakashi naturally knew it was because of the Nine-Tails, nodding silently to show he understood.
"What? Ask them to accept the mission to protect me? Why are there so many little ninjas? Especially that short and dumb kid, can he become a ninja?"
Tazuna said, reeking of alcohol, speaking venomously at Sasuke and the other two.
He knew his own situation.
He was afraid Sasuke and the others were unreliable and would screw him over.
As soon as this was said, Naruto yelled in anger again, but Kakashi ruthlessly suppressed him.
"I am Tazuna, the famous bridge builder from the Land of Waves. Then my safety is in your hands! Until I build the bridge, I ask you to risk your lives to protect my safety," Tazuna said after a moment, taking a big gulp of wine, saying something like, "No way!"
Anyway, he didn't have the money to upgrade the mission level, so he could only try his luck.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tazuna. Although they are young, they are all elite ninjas of Konohagakure. Besides, I'm a jĆnin, so it's no problem!"
Kakashi said, as lazy and soothing as ever, not sensing any danger.
This made Tazuna react, secretly surprised.
Hiring a jĆnin for the price of a C-rank mission was a huge profit.
"Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura. Now go back and prepare weapons and daily necessities, and gather at the village entrance in half an hour. Mr. Tazuna is also," Kakashi said, turning around after walking out of the Hokage Building.
His figure disappeared in a flash.
"Next, it's time for me to show my skills," Naruto shouted passionately after Kakashi left, running home quickly without looking back.
"Let's go, Sakura," Sasuke said, smiling helplessly, saying hello, turning to walk toward home.
But Sasuke did not go home directly, stopping by a weapons store.
Just in case, he had to prepare some trump cards to be on the safe side.
Half an hour later, Kakashi's team, ready to go, gathered again and met up with their client, Tazuna, at the village entrance.
"Let's go, everyone," Naruto said, pointing and shouting excitedly after everyone was present.
This was the first time he had left the village since he was a child.
"Let's go," Sasuke said, with a similar expression, also looking forward to the outside world.
However, he was looking forward to the upcoming battle.
'Which of these two guys is the leading jĆnin?'
Kakashi thought, looking at Sasuke and Naruto giving orders, a row of ??? flying across his forehead, speechless again.
