Chapter 368 Quiet and Thoughtful

"Just gloat over my misfortune." Murakami Daichi looked like he had lost all hope in life.

"When you have exhausted your chakra through practicing ninjutsu, you can practice hand seals. Musashi-sensei said that you should at least double your hand seal speed to reach Hanabi's level."

"She also said that my physical strength is too poor, which affects my running, and I need to do more squats. Two hundred in a set." As he said that, he suddenly turned his head to look at Uchiha Aoi and whispered, "Sister Aoi, you are most familiar with Mr. Musashi. Tell me, does he dislike me?"

"What do you think?" Uchiha Aoi said, "It's for your own good that you are allowed to practice."

Murakami Daichi: "But Hanabi's hand seal speed is so fast... I can't catch up in such a short time."

Uchiha Aoi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Brother is right, you are too inexperienced."

"Hanabi's hand seal speed is the normal speed. Your hand seal speed is too slow. You use your training time for messy research. If it was on the battlefield, you might have fallen before you could even say your ninjutsu."

"But... I can't rule out the possibility that I don't like you."

Murakami Daichi was in tears.

Of course, it was a joke. Although the training process was painful, he knew very well that everything Suzumiya Musashi told him to practice made sense. Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured the feeling of dying to practice, and Suzumiya Musashi didn't force him.

"Ah~" Murakami Daichi sighed, "When will this day end?"

"I heard that members of other teams have already started taking missions. We are the only ones who are still staying at home."

"Isn't it good to practice at home?" Uchiha Aoi asked in confusion: "I'm making progress every day."

Progress was only one of them. The most important thing was being able to be with Suzumiya Musashi every day, which was something she had dreamed of since she started school.

Hinata Hanabi, who had been silent the whole time, interrupted, "It's good to go out on a mission."

Seeing Uchiha Aoi looking at her, Hinata Hanabi said, "Aoi, going out on a mission won't interfere with your training."

"Also, during the mission, I can test the results of my practice."

"That's true." Uchiha Aoi nodded. Now that she thought about it, she had never been on a mission with Suzumiya Musashi. She was looking forward to the idea of ​​Team 18 going out on a mission together.

"Bang!!!~" A sudden explosion startled the three of them.

Following the sound, they found that the weight on Suzumiya Musashi's body had exploded. Fragments flew to the ground, and some of them had already embedded in the stone slabs.

"Teacher Musashi, are you okay?" Hinata Hanabi asked with concern when she saw such a scene for the first time.

Suzumiya Musashi shook his head and said, "It's okay, the life of the load has expired."

"I'll just get a new one."

Uchiha Aoi walked forward and helped Suzumiya Musashi pick up the debris on the ground. While cleaning up, he asked, "Brother, when do we start the mission?"

"I heard that other graduated Genin have already started accepting missions."

Suzumiya Musashi asked: "What? Are you anxious to complete the mission?"

"Yeah." Uchiha Aoi nodded and said, "Going out on a mission should be more interesting than training at home."

Suzumiya Musashi also understood the three people's thoughts. When you are still, you will think about action. Which newly graduated Genin doesn't want to accept the mission as soon as possible and become a real "ninja".

Suzumiya Musashi thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. I'll take you out to get the mission in a week."

A week later, it was the end of the one-month confinement period. For Tsunade's sake, he did not plan to go out early.

"But you have to be prepared. Genin missions are usually very boring. If you want to take on high-level missions, each of you needs to reach my requirements."

Uchiha Aoi assured confidently: "Don't worry, brother, I won't let you down!"

……

On the outskirts of Konoha Village, there is a golden wheat field.

The wind blew, pulling the bent ears of wheat and raising waves of wheat. It was a beautiful sight at first glance.

Of course, Konohamaru, who was bending over in the wheat field, harvesting with a sickle in his hand and sweat on his face, didn't think so at all.

He felt the wheat awns stinging his skin, the hot air burning his chest, and blisters forming on his hands. The damn wheat field was still not shrinking.

The heavy ears of wheat bent over with laughter, as if mocking his predicament.

Bagarrrrrrrr ya road! ~

Damn wheat, I hope my sickle can’t kill you!

I cut and cut and cut...I can't cut anymore!

Throwing the sickle to the ground, Konohamaru sat down on the haystack, breathing heavily.

"Damn it~"

"Why would I do such a thing?" Konohamaru murmured.

"Konohamaru, do you have any water left? I'm dying of thirst." Udon, looking pale, also stopped harvesting and walked to Konohamaru's side. The latter took out the remaining water bag, drank a small sip and threw it to the other party.

"Leave some for Meng Huang."

"Got it." Udon held the water bag in the air, swallowed a few sips, and sat down next to the haystack with Konohamaru.

"When will days like this end?" Udon said dejectedly.

Konohamaru felt his aching body and also frowned.

It’s been a month.

It has been a month since I graduated from the Ninja Academy and joined Ebisu's class.

During this month, I was either catching cats and dogs or collecting manure and herding cattle.

And like today, complete the labor tasks issued by the villagers of Konoha Village.

"Fuck!" Konohamaru cursed, "Why am I doing this!!"

"What else do you want to do if not this?" Ebisu's voice came from not far away. "The low-level missions in the village are prepared for you Genin."

"If it weren't for the sensei's favor, you newly graduated Genin would have to clean the streets and sewers. Clean jobs like harvesting wheat require robbing."

Konohamaru glanced over.

Ebisu was still wearing a headscarf and sunglasses, holding a cup of steaming cold drink in his hand, sitting leisurely on a recliner, which made Konohamaru frown.

"Teacher Ebisu, is this what your reputation is worth?"

Upon hearing this, Ebisu snorted and said, "You don't know what's good for you."

"Don't be skeptical. Harvesting wheat is one of the few D-rank missions in Konoha Village. The reward is much higher than that of ordinary E-rank missions. If Mr. Noda's granddaughter hadn't given birth, he would have done the job himself, and you guys wouldn't have had a chance to do it."

"But...we are ninjas!"

Konohamaru scratched his head when he heard this: "Aren't ninjas supposed to spy on the enemy, fight in all weather conditions, and fight the enemy?"

"Fighting the enemy? Spying on the enemy?" Ebisu raised his voice a lot, looking at Konohamaru with an unbelievable look: "Just you?"
