Chapter 58 C-level mission
"Yeah!"
Asuma nodded repeatedly and agreed.
"Orochimaru-sensei of Team 3 has led Gai and his team to kill hundreds of people, and the missions they received were at least C-rank."
"Teacher Sakumo, it's time to do something dangerous to test the results of our training these days."
Asuma was afraid that Mr. Sakumo would still not agree, so he tried to provoke him:
"Teacher Sakumo is known as the White Fang of Konoha in the ninja world. It's impossible that the students you teach are worse than the three ninjas, right?"
Sakumo glanced at Asuma, then at Haneda.
These days, he has been taking Haneda and the others to complete many D-level tasks in order to train them.
Like cleaning sewers, exercising patience and overcoming your usual obsession with cleanliness.
Like encircling and hunting wild boars escaping in the mountains, it exercises the ability of reconnaissance and survival in the wild.
After completing basic ninja training, it is time to accept dangerous missions.
"Okay, except for Haneda, none of you have ever seen blood, so let's try a C-rank mission first."
As he spoke, Shuomao flipped through the task list and looked at it for a long time before he picked out one from the thick task book.
"That's it. Protect a wealthy businessman who does business with the Daming Prefecture. According to the information he provided, bandits will enter the city to rob him within half a month."
"In addition to escorting him back to Wave Country, we also have to help deal with the bandits there."
"The mission location is in the Land of Waves, close to the Land of Water. There may be a conflict with the Ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village."
"Overall, the danger level doesn't seem high, and I can guide you while completing the mission."
Sakumo took the corresponding task scroll from the staff and took Haneda and the others to a secret room.
The secret room is divided into compartments of different sizes, and many ninjas are putting on makeup.
"What's wrong, Uncle Sakumo, do we need to disguise ourselves first for this mission?"
Haneda looked around and asked in confusion.
"No. It's because the name of my Konoha White Fang is too famous, and I'm afraid it will affect your mission."
Sakumo said as she put makeup on herself.
He first dyed his long silver hair black, then cut it shorter and changed it to a fluffy hairstyle.
Judging from his temperament alone, he seems a lot lazier.
After doing all this, Sakumo also put on a pair of sunglasses.
He looks like he is on vacation, completely lacking his previous capable and sharp temperament.
"You will lead the team for this mission, Haneda."
"I will correct your mistakes appropriately during the mission."
After giving the order, Sakumo led Team 9 out of the secret room and into the mission dispatch room.
At this time, Haneda and his employer also arrived.
He looked very young, perhaps in his thirties.
But the information shows that the businessman is already in his forties and has a seventeen-year-old son.
Sakata wears glasses, a black suit, and always has a professional smile on his face.
He walked up quickly, shook hands with Shumao, and introduced himself:
"Hello, I am the employer of this mission, Yamano Sakata. You can just call me Sakata."
"The instructor of Konoha's Class 13, Kotori Yota."
Sakumo looked calm as he pointed at Haneda and the others and introduced them.
"These are my three students. They all graduated with flying colors from the Ninja School."
Sakata smiled apologetically and said:
"I'm really sorry to bother you. I just signed a large contract with Damingfu a few days ago."
"It is very likely that my colleagues will send people to attack me on the way, and the mission may be upgraded to B-level or even A-level mission at any time."
"However, I will pay according to Konoha's corresponding indicators."
"Mr. Yangtai, are you still willing to accept this mission?"
Sakumo nodded: "There is no time to lose, let's go first."
Hearing this, Sakata was not worried, because those who could serve as team leaders were usually senior ninjas.
One jonin is enough to deal with hundreds of ordinary people, not to mention that he is a jonin from Konoha, so the quality is guaranteed.
…………
Sakata's convoy stopped at the gate of Konoha Village, just a few steps away.
The convoy was loaded with many specialties from the Fire Nation, but more of them were food.
In addition to hiring Konoha's ninjas, Sakata also has twelve samurai.
The ninth team served as escorts and had a special carriage to receive them. The carriage was not very big and could accommodate four or five people at most.
Haneda and his team had gone through some D-level missions and had no complaints about this cramped environment.
At least there was no need to be exposed to the sun in the carriage or smell the stench of shit from the sewer.
inside the carriage.
Shumao drew the curtains and asked quietly:
"What do you think of this mission? For example, people, or things."
"It's quite easy. It feels like we don't even need to do anything." Asuma replied quickly.
Xihihong thought for a while and said, "I always feel that my employer wears glasses and smiles like a beast in human clothing."
"What about you, Haneda?" Sakumo looked at the silent Haneda.
Haneda analyzed:
"The employer emphasized that he was doing business with the Daimyo Prefecture, and also said that there might be assassinations by his peers. It was obvious that he wanted us to take this mission seriously."
"And said mission could turn into B-rank, or even A-rank, at any time. We could very well be attacked by ninjas."
"And the ninja who came must be very powerful, otherwise he wouldn't bring 12 samurai with him and come to Konoha specifically to hire ninjas."
"It seems his enemies have a lot of capital too."
After hearing the answers from Haneda and the other two, Sakumo just smiled and said:
"Then let's wait and see. We still have a lot of time. Right now we can only analyze some things based on the limited information."
…………
The carriage traveled very quickly and arrived at the coastal area of the Fire Country after about five days.
To get from the Land of Fire to the Land of Waves, you need to take a boat.
The employer, Sakata, plans to rest at the dock for one night and set off tomorrow morning.
Tonight, the night is dark and windy.
Sakumo stayed at a hotel, and his room was next to Sakata's, making it easier to protect him.
Haneda and the other three were temporarily sent by their employer to guard the warehouse.
"Why should Mr. Sakumo be able to rest in his room while we have to guard this gloomy warehouse?"
Asma sat down on a bag full of rice and said unconvincedly.
"This is not the teacher's arrangement. Maybe the employer is worried that someone will steal things at night."
"I heard that there are a lot of bandits in many places outside. This might be the place."
Hong said beside him.
He looked at their leader, Haneda, and asked:
"Brother Haneda, are you keeping watch tonight, or what?"
Asuma seemed bored and thought about slacking off, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
We had been traveling for several days, and every day we were either practicing climbing trees or treading water, and we didn't encounter any danger.
Instead of working diligently to keep watch, it is better to play cards or sleep.
"Someone is here, masked."
Haneda, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, shocking Asuma so much that he quickly drew his chakra blade.
"Brother Haneda, where is the person?" Asuma asked in a low voice.
"The windows on the left are all ordinary people."
After he finished speaking, seven masked men holding machetes climbed in through the window.
Asuma was stunned when he saw the fierce masked man in front of him.
Is this person an ordinary person?
