Chapter 49 The third battle begins, Link leads the team

Time flies.

More than four months have passed.

The news about Link becoming the next Hokage has disappeared without a trace.

Compared with the candidate for the next Hokage, the newspaper now has more important news to spread, and that is information about the front line.

After four months of testing each other, multiple ninja villages now seemed to realize that Konoha no longer had the decisiveness it once had, so they began to test Konoha in various areas at the same time.

Under such a tense situation, prices in the village have skyrocketed.

Not to mention civilians, even ordinary ninjas would have difficulty making a living if they didn't go out to perform tasks.

Against this background, the students of the Ninja School finally ushered in graduation and class placement. Everyone, including Obito Uchiha, Kurenai Yuhi, and others, passed the graduation exam.

Thousand Hands Station, Link's House.

Link looked at the list in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That Laoden Hiruzen didn't trick me this time. He gave me an elite team!"

Different from students of the same class, genin can only wait to be assigned.

Not long after Link graduated early, he took the time to complete the Chuunin exam and was promoted to Chunin.

So he was the one in charge of leading the team, and the list in his hand was the assigned genin.

"Yuhi Kurenai, Asuma, and Matt Dai are not only acquaintances, but they also have three types of ninja, tai, and gen. The team is quite well-rounded."

Looking at the familiar names on the list, Link didn't know whether this was Sarutobi Hiruzen's appeasement, or whether it was made up by Asma coquettishly asking his father to act coquettishly.

All in all, this is a good team assignment for Link.

The three people on this list all performed well in the future.

One of Yuhi Kurenai and Asuma will become a jounin, and the other will become an elite jounin.

Even now, it is more powerful than the average genin.

As for Matt Dai, there is no need to say more.

In the original work, he faced off against seven people with the ace Ninja Swordsman of the Mist Ninja alone. He opened the door to death and kicked out four of them on the spot, seriously injuring three more!

Since they can be used as the ace of the Mist Ninja, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen alone should be at the level of elite jounin. With the help of special ninja swords, their strength may also be ranked among the elite jounin levels. .

Mike Day was able to achieve such a record with one against seven, and his strongest performance also gave him the feeling of a film-level powerhouse.

"Although the team members are pretty good, none of them have fought together."

"I'll just have the team gather together tomorrow and take on a mission to get used to it."

…

Hokage Building.

Task commissions can be roughly divided into two categories. One is B-level and above tasks. If a ninja wants to accept them, they need to report and approve them to the Hokage.

The slightly simpler C-level and D-level missions are handled by the jounin of the mission management office.

Only the final mission report will be put together for reporting to the Hokage.

"Link, here we come!"

Link was selecting a mission on the mission notice board when he heard a pleasant sound of joy.

"It's Hong, they're here!"

Link smiled, and when he turned his head to look over, a more joyful voice came again.

"Senior Brother Link, we are all here!"

But when he saw a group of brats wearing green tights and holding two big dumbbells running over, faster than Yuhi Kurenai, and surrounding them, the smile on his lips suddenly stiffened.

"Senior Brother Link, you may not know that we actually defeated a group of Iwa ninjas on the frontal battlefield, and at the same time made the name of our new Konoha class known!"

The imps simultaneously extended their thumbs and smiled brightly at Link.

"Defeated a group of Iwa ninjas, that's awesome! But what is the new Konoha class?"

At this time, Yuhi Hong also squeezed into the circle and asked curiously.

Since she had some contact with Link, she knew that these green-clad little guys were actually Link's juniors and would follow him for daily training.

But what is this new Konoha class?

"Hahaha! This new Konoha class is the name given to our group by Senior Brother Link! It means the new Konoha student army!"

"Senior Brother Link said that we will be the future successors of Konoha!"

"Senior Brother Link also said that we must defeat..."

"Okay, okay!"

Link's sense of danger suddenly spiked, and he hurriedly interrupted the dangerous speeches of these brats. Then he turned to Yuhi Hong and others and said, "I have just found a mission."

After saying that, he immediately shared a mission goal with everyone present.

"It is said that Iwagakure appears on the border between Grass Country and Fire Country. What we need to do is to detect Iwagakure's movements. The commission fee is two hundred thousand." Link said slowly.

"Iwa Ninja? This mission is not safe."

Looking at the task requirements, Yuhi Hong said with some worry.

Their team is just a team of three genin and one chuunin. What if they encounter the jounin of the Iwa ninja?

"Now is the time of war. This kind of exploration mission is relatively safe. At least it is safer than going to confirm the front line of the battle."

Link said seriously.

In today's era, it is impossible to do a task without any risk.

This kind of exploration mission is almost the one with the highest safety factor among all missions.

Let’s not talk about whether we will encounter enemies.

Even if they were so unlucky in the end, even ordinary rock ninjas might not be able to beat Link and Might Dai, or even Asuma.

Thinking of this, Link glanced at Asuma.

At this moment, Asuma's appearance and body shape seemed to have changed greatly from the original.

After training with Link and others, his whole spirit and energy were no longer like the decadent uncle he was later. His whole body was full of strong tendons, and with his precocious face, he looked at least thirty years old.

When the four of them went to carry out the mission, the enemy might think Asuma and Might Dai were experienced veterans, and think Link and Kurenai were rookies.

Asuma said arrogantly: "Even if I meet the Rock Ninja, I'm not afraid. I will defeat them all and let everyone know my name, Asuma Sarutobi!"

"...I believe you, Asuma."

Link looked at Asuma speechlessly, then patted his shoulder.

If nothing else, Asuma's strength should be much stronger than his original work.

Under Link's deliberate reminder, Asuma mastered the use of chakra knife to assist in releasing wind style cutting faster than before, and he also learned the first way to open the Eight Gates.

If he bursts out with all his strength, ordinary Chunin will really not be able to resist.

"Since everything has been decided, let's set off immediately!"
