Chapter 16: First mission, C level

Early the next morning, Satoru was forcibly woken up by Sakumo. Although he had to gather at the Hokage Building at eight in the morning, it was too difficult for Satoru. He finally graduated from school and couldn't even get a good night's sleep.

Although Sakumo had forced him to wake up, it was almost nine o'clock when he arrived at the Hokage Building in a daze. At a glance, Satoru saw Kitazono Nakajima standing next to him and the two children standing next to him. , although he is a child, he looks older than Satoru, at least he looks nine or ten years old.

"Satoru, I didn't expect you to be late on the first day of the gathering."

The expression on Beiyuan Nakajima's face was serious, and his narrowed eyes had disappeared.

"I'm sorry, I met a lost kitten on the road. In line with the principle of doing good to others, I sent the lost kitten back to his mother."

Satoru directly told the reason why he was late, his face was not good, and he didn't seem to be embarrassed at all.

The expressions on the faces of the three people opposite me clearly meant, ‘You make it up, you keep making it up. ’

If Satoru could hide his dazed state, maybe they would still believe it, but now he clearly looks like he just woke up, and he made up a loophole-filled excuse for sending the kitten home. Obviously, they don't regard them as human beings, but as ghosts, because isn't this just lying to ghosts?

"Okay, just this time, I will introduce you to your two teammates. This is Nagayama Masahiro."

Teacher Nakajima introduced another boy to Satoru.

"Yo, hello."

Satoru greeted the other party very familiarly.

"Tsk, such a little devil can actually join our team. Don't hold us back when the time comes to do the mission. I don't want to be a burden when we carry out the mission."

The boy named Nagayama Masahiro seemed to have a lot of resentment towards Satoru.

"This is Miwa Yano. You should get along well with these two from now on."

"You are Hatake Satoru. I have heard of your name. Since the establishment of the Ninja School, there are only two students who have graduated from the Ninja School at the age of five. You are one of them. You are a veritable one. genius."

"Where there."

Satoru covered his mouth with one hand and fanned himself with the other hand. It was obviously a modest remark, but there was no trace of humility on Satoru's body.

"I'll ask the two seniors for more advice in the future."

"Maybe I will need Satoru's protection then. After all, I heard that Satoru defeated the elite of the Uchiha clan during the graduation exam, and I am just a medical ninja."

"Medical ninja? That's amazing."

Satoru praised Yano Miwa and said, if there is any ninjutsu that is the most difficult to learn, it is the medical ninjutsu.

"Okay, if you want to improve your relationship, just improve it during the mission."

Suddenly, Bei Yuan Nakajima interrupted the exchange between the two.

Afterwards, Nakajima took Satoru and others to the place where they received the mission. Miwa Yano and Mahiro Nagayama had been to this place and that place several times, but this was Satoru’s first time here, so he looked around and showed He looked curious about everything.

"Is this guy really a genius?"

A tic-tac-toe appeared on Nagayama Masahiro's forehead, as if he was suppressing his anger. He felt that Satoru was now a funny man, and even walking with him felt embarrassed.

"Hokage-sama."

After Nakajima led several people into the room, Nakajima, Miwa and Mahiro all spoke in a very respectful tone to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who was sitting on the main seat.

Only Satoru stood upright and looked at the Third Hokage carefully.

He could see that the Third Hokage's body contained very powerful chakra. This chakra was superior to that of his father, Hatake Sakumo. At this time, the Third Hokage was in his prime and at the peak of his strength. It could be said that the entire Hokage The most powerful person in Ye Village.

"Nakajima, long time no see. How have you completed your recent mission?"

As soon as he saw Kitazono Nakajima, the Third Hokage looked very concerned about his subordinates.

"Excuse me, Hokage-sama, but the completion rate of the recent mission is 100%."

The Third Hokage doesn't always stay in the mission hall. He only comes here to sit for a while occasionally or when he meets someone interesting.

"Very good. You are indeed an outstanding ninja of my Leaf Village."

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen set his sights on Satoru.

"You are Sakumo's child, Hatake Satoru, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Satoru, but the tone of his voice already confirmed the answer to his question.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

At this time, the Third Hokage and Hatake Satoru met face to face for the first time. The Third Hokage had met Kakashi before. After all, Kakashi had been a famous genius since he was a child, and Satoru was completely qualified before the graduation examination. It was a little transparent, so the Third Hokage at that time didn't pay too much attention to Satoru.

After the graduation examination was over, the Third Hokage realized that Satoru was the one who had hidden the deepest secrets, which also made him pay more attention to Satoru.

"As expected, the tiger father has no dog son."

The Third Hokage said with a kind look on his face.

"I hope you won't disgrace your father's reputation in the future."

"Don't worry, you will definitely not disappoint Hokage-sama."

"Well, since this is Satoru's first mission, let me arrange a simple mission for you. I remember that there is a group of bandits near Konoha Village that need to be wiped out. I will leave the C-level mission to you."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I promise to complete the mission."

Nakajima took over the details of the mission. A group of bandits suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Konoha Village. They were doing evil things of burning, killing and looting everywhere and needed to be eliminated as soon as possible.

"It is indeed a dangerous period. The first mission requires killing people."

Wu couldn't help but feel no fear in his heart, but there was still a trace of excitement.

Now is different from the period of peaceful development at the beginning of the plot. Now the Second Ninja War has just ended. Countless ordinary people who were displaced during the war have gathered together. This group of people has no food and no way to survive, so they can only go up the mountain to become thieves. .

Of course, there may be cases where spies from the enemy country turn into bandits, but this rarely happens.

Jobs like finding cats and cleaning up garbage are simply impossible to find now. During this period, as soon as a genin graduates, they must be prepared to sacrifice at any time.

"This task is not urgent, and it will take half a day to travel. So now everyone goes home to pack their things and gather at the village gate on time at one o'clock in the afternoon."

"Yes, Teacher Nakajima."

"Especially you, Satoru, don't be late this afternoon."

"Don't worry, Teacher Nakajima, I can still tell when something needs to be done seriously by me."

Although Satoru may be late, he cannot be late under all circumstances. He will only be late when there will be no big problems if he is late. He is still very punctual in everything he does.
