Chapter 108: 'The cattle and horses were slaughtered ahead of schedule', assignment of wor

Just when Liuyun was about to start his verbal persuasion mode, Teacher Oda ran into the classroom and called away ten students including Liuyun and Kushina in one breath.

Those who were called away were all students with excellent academic performance. Seeing these people, Liuyun instantly thought of many things.

"Are you going to force me?"

Liuyun was surprised. He felt that Konoha would most likely use a group of elementary school students like them to fill the gap in manpower.

In fact, this is indeed the case...

There are three classes in the sixth grade, and Sarutobi Hiruzen called out to thirty students in one breath.

He intended to let this group of people graduate first to ease the pressure facing Konoha.

At present, there were a lot of low-level tasks and they couldn't find ninjas to do them, and the Konoha high-level officials were almost getting anxious.

They all agreed that it was not necessary to raise the cattle and horses for a long time, and it was OK to sell them off a few months in advance...

"Since you have all mastered the throwing technique and one of the three body techniques, I declare that you can graduate early!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with a smile and personally awarded Konoha forehead protectors to a group of elementary school students.

"From now on you are the glorious ninjas of Konoha!"

As Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, a group of elementary school students cheered.

"..."

The one who appeared the happiest among them was Liuyun. The moment he got the Konoha forehead protector, his excited look with tears in his eyes made Sarutobi Hiruzen very happy.

"Haha! I thought you didn't want the forehead protector anymore?" Sarutobi Hiruzen joked.

He said this to mock Liuyun's refusal to graduate early half a year ago.

"How...how could this be..."

Liuyun laughed awkwardly, and then copied and pasted the words that a certain "little sun" had said to him before:

"Many ninjas have been sent to the Rain Country battlefield. Konoha is now in urgent need of a large number of manpower to carry out missions. I want to help the village share some of the pressure..."

"Good, good, good! Good boy... I'm glad that you can understand Konoha's difficulties!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and patted Liuyun on the shoulder. He really didn't expect that Liuyun would have such awareness at such a young age.

This is the child that his beloved disciple (Orochimaru) has taken a fancy to. Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly feels that this mixed-haired boy is particularly pleasing to the eye. Perhaps he can focus on training him in the future...

When everyone walked out of the principal's office, Liu Yun's expression changed instantly. Seeing the cheerful Kushina beside him, he couldn't help but curl his lips:

"Why are you so happy? If someone doesn't know, they would think you picked up money..."

"Haha, of course I'm happy to be a ninja... Hey, weren't you very happy just now? Why are you suddenly..."

As Kushina was talking, she suddenly noticed something was wrong with him.

"I'm not happy at all. I'm happy... After tomorrow, I guarantee you won't be happy anymore!"

"Why would I be unhappy after tomorrow? Also, you're not happy? Then why are you pretending to be happy?" Kushina tilted her head with a confused look on her face.

"I'm happy to... You ask so many questions." Liuyun glared at her.

"???"

Kushina scratched her head, not understanding what Ryuun was thinking.

"What a strange guy..."

The thirty Genin who graduated early returned to the classroom, packed their bags, and then went to a spacious classroom.

Konoha is very efficient. They plan to divide students into classes directly on the same day they graduate!

"You must get Liuyun..."

Kushina clasped her hands together and prayed silently in her heart. She didn't want to team up with others to go on a mission.

"Namikaze Minato, Dekai, Uchiha Mei, the three of you form a team!" The picture is taken from "Minato's Tale". Damn Kishimoto, the teammates assigned to Minato are not the same group of people in his original class, which makes me have to adjust my thinking to fill the gap for him! (In the anime, there was no little black classmate in their class when they were young)

The instructor then read out Minato's name.

"Minato was paired with two students from other classes!" Liuyun was very surprised.

As each name was read out, Kushina became more and more nervous.

"Silly girl, what are you nervous about?"

Noticing something strange happening with the girl next to him, Liuyun couldn't help but laugh.

"How can I not be nervous? I don't care. If I can't assign you today, then I...then I will go tell Grandma Mito that I don't want to team up with others." Kushina said in a low voice.

"You 6..."

Liuyun gestured to her. Kushina was a typical person with a backer. If she really wanted to find Mito, it would only take a word...

"Uzumaki Kushina, Inuzuka Ran, Uchiha... Mikoto, the three of you form a team!"

The class divisions during this period were not as detailed as the later groupings, and due to the severe shortage of medical ninjas, there was no such thing as one medical ninja per team. Moreover, Tsunade was still on the battlefield in the Land of Rain at this time, and no decisive reforms were proposed.

When Kushina heard her name and the last name Uchiha, a look of joy instantly appeared on her face.

However, when Mikoto's name was read out, her smile immediately fell and she completely lost her fighting spirit.

"Hehe... If you are not in the same team, then don't be in the same team. There is still plenty of time after the mission anyway, so cheer up..." Liuyun comforted with a smile.

Soon the instructor called out Ryuun's name. One of his teammates was from the Sarutobi clan, and the other was from the Aburame clan.

The 30 people were divided into 10 teams, and because it was a time of war, high-end combat power was scarce, and they had not yet decided on a so-called team-leading ninja.

The current task of these thirty people is simply to do hard labor. After the three-person team is familiar with the process, they can take on tasks on their own. Konoha plans to let them suffer for a few months and relieve the pressure before assigning them a leading ninja.

After leaving school, Liuyun and Kushina walked side by side and went directly to the Senju clan's territory. Along the way, Kushina complained loudly and was very resentful. It was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with Konoha's class division this time.

"It's okay. You're assigned to the girls' group, and even Mikoto is in the same group with you. Konoha should be aware of your interpersonal relationships." Liuyun patiently soothed her little emotions.

Liuyun had no complaints about the class division this time. In fact, his original plan was to go to the battlefield of Rain Country after graduation. Over the past six months, he had exchanged letters with Orochimaru several times, and at the end of each letter, Uncle Snake would invite him to go there.

After so many times, Liuyun began to think about honing himself through fighting, so he made an agreement with Snake Uncle that after he graduated and became a Genin, he would go to his place.

His strength has only improved slightly in the past six months and he lacks actual combat experience, so he has indeed thought about heading to the battlefield of the Rain Country to test whether his sword is sharp enough!

Kushina thought about Liuyun's words seriously. In fact, this grouping was not unacceptable to her. It was just because Liuyun was not there that made her dissatisfied.

Her ideal team of three is composed of herself, Liu Yun, and Mikoto.

It’s a pity that Konoha rarely puts two members of the same clan into the same team, so Kushina’s idea is destined to fail.

"But I really want to team up with you and complete the mission together..." Kushina looked disappointed and expressed her feelings directly.

"Hahaha......"

Liuyun couldn't help but burst into laughter, then he put his arm around her shoulders and let her lean against him.

"You are my little follower, right? You follow me every day."

Kushina did not struggle to break free from his arm around her shoulders, instead she actually enjoyed this intimate gesture.

"You are my follower and little brother. Isn't this a well-known fact?"

Kushina giggled and took the initiative to stretch out her left hand and hold his lower back.

The two of them were being affectionate all the way, and were very affectionate.
