Chapter 73 Catching the Cat

Inside the Hokage Building

Uchiha Toshiro, Tetsu and Homura followed behind the master.

Come to the Hokage's office building to submit a mission completion report.

At this moment, Tetsu Uchiha was holding a fat orange cat in his arms, with a look of disgust on his face.

You can't blame him, this fat cat is really too naughty. The process of capturing it made Uchiha Tetsu suffer a lot.

Cats' flexibility ranks among the best among many small animals. The lazy nature of it during the day also makes it more difficult to locate.

Even after finding it, its flexible figure and coquettish movements remain. Its small size also helps it travel through places that are difficult for humans to pass.

Even when Uchiha Tetsu caught him and held him in his arms, he fought back and scratched four claw marks on Uchiha Tetsu's face.

This made Toshiro and Homura on the side laugh and taunt him, making him embarrassed.

The person who was handing over to Teacher Shigemasa at this time was not the Sandaime Hokage. But it was a civilian employee of the Sarutobi clan in the Hokage's office building.

[It seems that not everyone who completes such a low-level task can see the Hokage and hand over it! 】

It's natural to think about it. There are so many registered ninjas in Konoha Village. Every year when ninjas graduate, the village will release a large number of low-level tasks to train these young ninjas.

However, not everyone deserves the Hokage's special attention. It is only natural to leave it to these civilian personnel to handle some related low-level matters.

Speaking of these low-level tasks, Toshiro had to complain, they were really varied.

It completely shattered his imagination of ninja missions, the flash of swords and shadows, and the thrilling life.

These D-level tasks include finding lost cats and dogs, taking care of children, repairing roofs for the elderly, and even plowing land, logging, searching for medicinal materials, etc.

Moreover, the reward for each mission is pitifully small, ranging from 3,000 taels to 20,000 taels. Among them, three levels have to be taken away by the village. Teacher Shigemasa, as the captain, takes 30%, and the rest is divided among the three of them.

When it was distributed to them, it was even more pitiful. Sometimes Toshiro had to lament that it was better to be a platform and just make money!

This is a boring and not very difficult task. In just one month, Toshiro, Homura and Tetsu were extremely bored.

"Teacher Shigemasa, when can we take on some high-level tasks?" He handed the fat cat to a middle-aged woman waiting aside.

Seeing the other party holding him in his arms and ravaging him to his heart's content, Uchiha Tetsu couldn't bear it. He turned his head to his teacher and asked aloud.

"Zhe, it's okay if you want to do high-level tasks, but you'd better take care of those claw marks on your face first!"

As Uchiha Tetsu turned his head, the four clear claw marks on his cheek undoubtedly looked even more comical, causing Uchiha Homura to laugh.

The little girl never tired of verbally mocking and attacking her childhood sweetheart.

At this time, she was covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile. A little face with some baby fat is full of joy.

"Homura, these are just accidents! You know accidents! You don't have to wait until tomorrow morning, the wounds will be healed!" Seeing his companions smiling so happily, Uchiha Tetsu couldn't hold back. A vein popped out on his forehead, and he defended loudly to Homura.

However, the effect seemed to be somewhat unsatisfactory. The more annoyed he looked, the happier Yan smiled.

[These two are really a match made in heaven, one is ignorant and a bit silly, and the other is quirky and enjoys teasing each other! 】

Looking at the love drama that happened in front of him, Toshiro couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, only at the most innocent age can mutual feelings be the purest and most beautiful.

And as people grow older, they become more mature. These beautiful memories of childhood will become farther and farther away from me until they become nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt and chicken feathers. (▽)

"But what you idiot Zhe said makes sense! Teacher Shigemasa, when will we be able to carry out some more advanced tasks?"

"Idiot Tetsu" was Uchiha Homura's nickname for Tetsu. At this time, she also turned her head and looked at Teacher Shigemasa expectantly. Obviously she has lost interest in such low-level tasks.

"Yes, Teacher Shigemasa! I can hardly support myself anymore if I keep taking on low-level tasks like this!"

Toshiro, who was waiting on the side, couldn't hold on and said that he had no choice but to speak.

Since graduating from ninja school, the monthly support he received from Konoha has disappeared. Even the monthly subsidy of 1,000 taels given by the clan was gone, and the monthly subsidy I imagined for the police force was nothing.

In the words of Mr. Shigemasa, he, a new ninja who had just graduated from the ninja school, was lucky to be able to name himself in the Uchiha Guard Force.

I don't participate in patrol duties, but I still want salary and establishment. Is there such a good thing in this world? I'd better just be a new genin.

Hearing this, Toshiro could be said to be "like a mourner". These days, he can hardly make ends meet, and even his stomach is not full from the daily task commissions.

If this continues, he will have to use his capital. How is this possible? It's better to accept some tasks with higher commissions.

[Maintaining three shadow clones to practice every day is really exhausting! 】

With the recent practice of Yin Yang Escape, I am slowly getting on the right track. Daily food consumption is also increasing day by day.

Toshiro couldn't help but sigh! Every time he goes to the food store now, he feels like his wallet will be drained dry.

Time travel is simple, life is different, do it and cherish it(▽)

Looking at the three students he was complaining about, Uchiha Shigemasa was not surprised. He also came here this way.

I recall that at the beginning, I had this conversation with my companions and had this conversation with my teacher. Just in the blink of an eye, I am also a teacher, and the teachers and the others...

For a moment, Uchiha Shigemasa fell into memories of the past. Even his expression fell into depression without any notice.

"It's not impossible to accept some high-level missions, but I have to conduct special training for you for a few weeks. Only if you pass my special training will I take you to complete C-level and above missions!"

The memory did not last long. Looking at his students, Uchiha Shigemasa replied. At the same time, he secretly vowed to protect these three students even if he risked his own life.
