Chapter 17 Mission: Collecting Animal Carcasses

"Mito-sama wishes to see me?"

"Yes, she said she would come with me after get off work. I don't know what grandma wants to do. It might be because of Kushina's matter. Be careful when you go over there."

After instructing Jingyi to wait for her after get off work, Tsunade left in a hurry.

There are still too many things waiting for her to deal with in the medical department.

strangeness.

Jingyi was a little confused. If there was something going on, he could just go there now instead of waiting to go to the Senju ancestral home with Tsunade after get off work.

This is likely to lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings.

It can be predicted that as long as he goes to the Senju ancestral home in person to meet Uzumaki Mito, the Hokage's office will definitely be restless.

Because Uzumaki Mito's identity is so special, her every move affects the nerves of the Third Hokage and others.

Forget it, why think so much? It was Uzumaki Mito who wanted to see him, not him who took the initiative to ask for a meeting. In that case, why worry about these things.

It's just adding trouble to yourself.

In the lounge, Jingyi assembled various materials, and a brand new puppet was born in his hands.

Maybe because it’s the first time it’s made, the puppet looks a bit ugly.

"It's so fucking ugly!"

Jingyi knew that his first attempt at making a puppet was successful, but he was also disappointed.

He got a defective product, a defective product that he himself couldn't stand.

Even if puppets are treated as consumables, they should not be made too abstract, not looking like humans nor animals.

After studying it for a while, Jing Yi couldn't bear it anymore and decisively dismantled the puppet. After all, it was the cheapest material and he wouldn't feel bad if it was damaged.

It's better to damage a little material than to end up with a bunch of ugly things.

After taking apart the puppet, Jingyi began to summarize herself.

After a moment, Jingyi realized that he had made a mistake.

There are very few puppeteers in Konoha, just as rare as giant pandas in the previous life. Related books and scrolls are also pitifully few, and most of them are obtained from the Sand Village by the village through various means.

The puppets made by the Sand Village are strange in shape. Because the puppets need to have various functions and means of attack, the puppets they make are not beautiful.

Jingyi is not a puppeteer, so there is no need for him to make puppets in the style of the Sand Village.

As he possesses the Samsara Eye, he doesn't even need to control the puppets. It is enough to give them life and just give orders directly.

Therefore, the puppet does not need to have so many functions, nor does it need to add various messy parts.

With an idea in mind, Jingyi continued to assemble.

Soon, a humanoid puppet no more than fifty centimeters tall stood on the table.

The materials on hand were limited, and the final product was not satisfactory.

Just look for opportunities to buy more parts and materials.

And there is no need to pursue humanoid puppets.

You can also use the corpses of some powerful animals to make puppets.

It seems like this is a good idea.

There are too few puppeteers in Konoha, and the materials are relatively expensive. In addition to the influence of the overall environment, anyone in Konoha who uses the corpses of ninjas to make puppets will definitely be labeled as a dark person.

Jingyi was not interested in using the ninja's corpse to make puppets.

Compared to the corpses of ninjas, the powerful animals in the ninja world are undoubtedly the best choice. They have good mobility and can be used as mounts.

Having made up his mind, Jingyi decided to collect some animal carcasses.

After lunch, Jingyi came to the Hokage office building and issued a task to collect animal corpses. The task reward was linked to the strength of the animals.

Because of the influence of chakra, there are many powerful creatures in the ninja world.

For example, there are wild boars as big as houses, giant snakes as big as trains, and birds with wings spread out like fighter jets.

Such creatures are not uncommon in the ninja world, and there are even quite a lot of them.

Konoha would issue some related tasks every year, asking the village's ninjas to clean up these creatures.

In addition to their great strength and huge size, these creatures have another characteristic: their meat is not tasty.

Once they accept the task of a cleanup mission, they will only choose to kill it, take away the part of the body that proves that they have completed the mission, and discard the rest.

This means that the corpses of these creatures are of no value other than research value.

After issuing the task, Jingyi returned to the hospital to work.

"Hokage-sama, this is the mission commission that the Mission Department sorted out today."

The mission department will organize the daily mission entrustment and then send it to the Hokage's office for screening by the Third Hokage. For important missions, the Third Hokage will personally send suitable ninja teams to carry out. Unimportant missions will be handed over to the mission department and accepted freely by the ninjas in the village.

For ninjas, the income from missions and commissions can support many of them.

Even in Konoha, once a large number of external missions and commissions are lost, more than half of the ninjas in the village will face unemployment and hunger.

Because ninjas do not engage in production, and the village does not have enough positions to support so many ninjas.

If there are too many failed missions and commissions, which will affect their reputation and reduce the number of external missions and commissions, it will be a disaster for those ninjas who rely on carrying out missions and commissions to make a living.

This is why, even during war, even when the fighting on the front lines is tense, the village will always dispatch a group of ninjas to carry out missions and commissions.

Whether it is a small ninja village or one of the five major ninja villages, they cannot lose their relevant credibility or give up the task entrustment.

The Sand Village has become increasingly poorer since the Second Ninja World War. The fundamental reason is that the daimyo was angry and thought that his investment had been wasted and that the Sand Village was not strong enough, so he reduced his investment in the Sand Village.

He also assigned a large number of tasks and commissions from the Wind Kingdom to Konoha.

This directly led to the Sand Village falling into a situation where they had to tighten their belts.

Therefore, the Third Hokage attached great importance to the commissions and tasks of the Mission Department and would personally sort them out every day, assigning the simple tasks with low rewards to the Mission Department.

For tasks that require attention, he will select the appropriate team to carry them out.

As usual, the Third Hokage quickly screened through the various tasks, but when he selected one of the tasks, his hand holding the document paused.

"Collect a large number of powerful creature corpses. The quest reward is linked to the animal corpses. This quest is valid for a long time."

The Third Hokage, smoking a pipe, read out the mission content, then stared at the person who issued the mission and fell into deep thought.

Hinata Shizuka!

Why did this kid issue such a task to collect the corpses of powerful creatures for a long time? Is it for research?

Jingyi applied to study in the medical department, and the reason for becoming a medical ninja was stated in the report, which was to treat the blood disease.

It is not surprising to conduct research to cure diseases.

Many ninjas even conduct experiments to study ninjutsu and improve their strength. Orochimaru often does this.

This long-term mission is definitely a blessing for the village and its ninjas, and it is also a mission to collect the corpses of powerful creatures.

After thinking for a while, the Third Hokage said to the people in the mission department: "Go to the medical department to find Tsunade and let him look at this document. By the way, find Hinata Shizuka to confirm the corresponding rewards for the corpses of various creatures."
