#57 - Blue Entry
"Finally, I can get my first payment."
Sarutobi Asuma's enthusiasm, which had been waning due to boredom, returned.
"Yeah."
Yuhi Kurenai nodded slightly.
This payment needs to be distributed among the team.
She looked at Kiyoshi, who was walking over with the Jonin leader.
She thought that Kiyoshi shouldn't be so short on money now.
Honestly, Kiyoshi's request for three months' worth of tutoring fees had almost emptied her little savings.
The group said goodbye to the shop owner and headed to the mission building to hand over the mission.
"This is your payment."
The staff in the building quickly counted the reward and distributed it to everyone.
Doing missions is like getting paid daily; as long as you complete it, you get the money that day, no delays.
"A little over a thousand Ryō..."
Kiyoshi put the money in his pocket.
It just so happened that today was helping out at the shop, with little to do and good income, but unfortunately, there aren't missions to do every day.
It's estimated that there will be no missions for several days.
The reward for a normal D-rank mission is between five thousand and fifty thousand Ryō.
Helping out at a shop is just around five thousand Ryō, and this money needs to be split equally among everyone.
Otherwise, if one person gets five thousand Ryō, then the team of three plus the Jonin leader would need twenty thousand Ryō.
This doesn't even include the Hidden Leaf Village's cut, which will take some platform fees.
D-rank missions are small tasks like finding lost pets, taking care of children, or even helping farmers harvest crops in the fields. Who would be willing to spend so much money?
Five thousand Ryō at a time is already considered a very high cost.
"Kurenai, wanna go to Barbecue Q? I'll treat you."
Sarutobi Asuma ran to Kurenai, wanting to have a celebration feast for their first mission.
"Kiyoshi, what about you?"
Yuhi Kurenai turned to look at Kiyoshi.
"I won't go."
Kiyoshi shook his head.
Going to Barbecue Q costs at least two or three hundred Ryō, and that's just for one meal.
A hardworking Genin, like Rock Lee, has a record in the official data book of the number of missions he did in his first year as a Genin.
He carried out 20 D-rank missions and 11 C-rank missions in a year, with an income of about one hundred and ten thousand Ryō.
And this has to cover not only living expenses but also the daily expenses of a ninja.
Kiyoshi naturally saves as much as possible, as there are still many places where he needs money.
His ninja pouch only has two kunai, three shuriken, and a ninja sword in a sealing scroll. Apart from that, he doesn't even have soldier pills or smoke bombs, let alone other ninja tools.
"Then I won't go either."
Kurenai shook her head.
"Ah, why?"
Sarutobi Asuma scratched his head.
What does Kiyoshi not going have to do with Yuhi Kurenai not going?
Is it too cold today?
...
A dozen days passed, and Kiyoshi carried out another D-rank mission during this time.
The rest of the time, he was at home training.
"Finally got the hang of it."
Kiyoshi channeled chakra to his chest, converted it into Fire Release chakra, and then surged it up from his throat.
Boom!
An oval fireball about two meters long, radiating scorching heat, spewed out of Kiyoshi's mouth.
"Now I can participate in the Chunin Exams too."
Kiyoshi thought to himself.
[Entry: Apprentice Fire Release Ninja (White)]
[Requirement: Successfully used a Fire Release ninjutsu once.]
[Progress: (Completed).]
[Effect: Your talent in 'Fire Release' nature transformation increases by 10%.]
[Note: Can continue to advance later.]
[Advancement Route 1: Integrating 'Chakra Flow · Fire Release (White)' and 'Strong Physique (White)' can advance to 'Fire Release Genin (Green)']
This entry appeared not long after he started practicing Fire Release.
It was the previous "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
At that time, it was still at 1% progress. After this period of practice, Kiyoshi had already changed it to completed.
The completion rules of the entry panel are very random. Sometimes a new entry is given directly, and sometimes you need to keep working hard to meet the requirements to get the entry.
Kiyoshi deduced that most abstract things would directly meet the conditions.
And things like exercise and practice are more difficult to meet the conditions, so there will be a progress bar.
The only thing that can be clearly determined is that you can get the corresponding increase entry for the release technique as long as you get started.
And to complete the progress of an entry, fulfilling the conditions or most of the conditions will show an advancement route.
It's just that the judgment conditions are a bit strange, and it seems to be based on the overall degree of completion to get the judgment.
For example, when completing reading absorption and basic memory, it did not show that the entry "Graduate Early" was required to advance to a genius-type top student.
But at that time, for the entry of Apprentice Lightning Release Ninja, Kiyoshi directly appeared with the subsequent advancement route, that is, integrating an entry of Strong Physique.
"Advancement Route 1 has been met, do you want to advance?"
A mechanical synthesized female voice without a trace of emotion sounded.
"Advance."
Kiyoshi immediately chose to advance.
The degree of apprenticeship is obviously not enough now.
The increase of white entries is not much, only the green entries are okay.
And after advancing, the white entries are still there, but they become gray, like they are locked, but the increase effect is still there.
Almost instantly, the entry completed the advancement.
"You have comprehended a new entry [Fire Release Genin (Green)]."
[Entry: Fire Release Genin (Green)]
[Requirement: Reach Genin-level Fire Release chakra control ability.]
[Progress: (Completed).]
[Effect: Your meridian system will have better adaptability to 'Fire', increasing by 20% on the original basis.]
[Note: Can continue to advance later.]
[Advancement Route 1: Integrating 'Lightning Release Genin (Green)' and 'Illusion Release Genin (Green)' and 'Medical Ninjutsu Genin (Green)' can advance to 'Chakra Nature Transformation Master (Blue)'.]
"The first blue entry..."
Kiyoshi's eyes flickered.
There is no lack of ideas for two green entries, you only need to advance the existing two white entries to green entries.
And the conditions for their advancement are likely to be related to "Yin" and "Yang."
"Medical ninjutsu is not a big problem, but this illusion technique..."
Kiyoshi frowned slightly.
Since Yakushi Nonou took him as a disciple, she will definitely prepare a complete teaching process.
And Sharingan illusion techniques also need to be learned. Only basic illusion techniques like "Illusion Technique · Sharingan" only require instinct.
Higher-level "Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique", "Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change", "Izanagi", "Izanami", etc., although they are exclusive illusion techniques of the Sharingan, still need to be learned.
This is inheritance. Who knows how long it will take for Kiyoshi to think about it and learn it by himself.
It can be seen from Sasuke only being able to use the basic functions of the Sharingan how uncomfortable it is to lack inheritance, and how difficult it is to not have someone to guide you.
From beginning to end, he only knows the basic Sharingan illusion technique.
If he had learned a hand of "Izanagi" first, the battle with Naruto in the Final Valley would have been hard to say.
