Chapter 44: Soft and hard persuasion

However, just when Naruto was about to give up and hold on for a while, the five-person team of the seventh team stepped into the mission building, and a figure appeared above the main seat where they received the mission. Then it aroused Naruto's restless heart.

"Oh!? Third generation grandfather, why are you here in the mission building today!?"

Naruto looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the middle seat wearing a god robe and a Hokage hat, with a hint of surprise, and shouted loudly.

As the shadow of a village.

In most cases, Hiruzen Sarutobi would stay in his office to deal with huge and complicated government affairs, but occasionally he would still take some time to inspect the work of various departments in the Ninja Village.

Mission Center.

It is also one of the most important institutions in a Ninja Village!

Sarutobi Hiruzen would also come here regularly to personally issue tasks to some ninjas every once in a while. This can be regarded as a 'people-friendly act'!

"Haha, if you have time today, come over and take a look. Your mission went smoothly, Naruto!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly with his usual kind smile and said.

"Yes, Third Generation Grandpa, this mission has been successfully completed! Therefore, I want to challenge a more difficult task. Third Generation Grandpa, please give our team a C-level or above mission, so that it will be more challenging. !”

Saw Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Naruto immediately changed his mind!

After passing this village, there is no such store!

If possible, a ghost would be willing to continue performing D-level missions. What Naruto wants is a challenge! !

His goal has always been to become the greatest Hokage far surpassing his father and even the greatest Hokage in history!

While handing over the task, he couldn't wait to speak.

"Oh? Why are you so impatient, Naruto, there are regulations for which teams receive what level of tasks. For a newly formed team like you, in the initial period of time, they can only perform the lowest level tasks. Mission, this is also to better train you, your instructor Kakashi is an experienced ninja, he will know when to receive the appropriate mission for you!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen still looked at Naruto with a smile and said.

"Of course I understand these principles, but it has been more than a month. Grandpa Third Generation and Brother Kakashi have no intention of receiving high-level tasks. D-level tasks are not difficult or meaningful to us at all. If ninjas want to grow up, they need more training and tests. The strength of our team is fully capable of performing higher-level tasks. Moreover, the worst thing is that we still have brother Kakashi here, don't you think so? "

Naruto seemed to be about to confront Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Still said reluctantly.

"I think what Naruto said makes sense. Our team can indeed try more difficult tasks. After all, at our age, Kakashi-sensei is already a Jonin!"

Menma also continued what Naruto had said.

High-level and not high-level tasks.

For Menma now, the difference is really not that big, but Menma really hopes to have the opportunity to leave the village.

The reason is simple. For the plans that may be carried out in the future, Menma needs to be familiar with the terrain around Konoha Hidden Village to a certain extent!

The description in the original work of the previous life and the understanding on paper in this life are completely insufficient!

You must do it through your own personal investigation!

And this requires receiving a mission that can leave the Ninja Village, and more than one person can do it!

Menma didn't want to face the problem of not being familiar with the road later on. After all, this was no small problem.

Menma opened his mouth.

Naruto suddenly showed a happy expression.

"That's right, that's right, Brother Kakashi, you still say that we are young. You are already the jounin of the village at the age of 12. We can definitely carry out higher-level tasks!"

Even Sasuke on the side nodded in agreement.

"You guys..."

Kakashi shook his head in amusement.

And that's when Kakashi wanted to say something again.

"Well, that does make sense, but Naruto, Menma, you have to think about it carefully. Every time the level of the tasks performed by ninjas goes up, the difficulty is very different. Although you have Kakashi in your team, , but once the mission fails, the evaluation of ninjas will also become lower. Even so, will you continue to persist? "

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with great interest.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi speak, Kakashi shut his mouth. Anyway, as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't object, Kakashi didn't care.

With his strength, in most cases, there is indeed nothing to worry about.

"Don't worry, Third Generation Grandpa, with the strength of our team, we will definitely complete the mission successfully!"

Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up when Sarutobi Hiruzen let go, and he spoke quickly as if he was afraid that Sarutobi Hiruzen would regret it.

"Well, okay, then I will give your team a C-level mission in advance. Naruto, Menma, you have spoken out, and you must complete it when the time comes!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded at these words.

Stop talking about Naruto.

The corners of both of the two pillars' mouths slightly raised at that moment, revealing a faint smile.

D-level mission.

To be honest.

Sasuke was already annoyed.

This was really a waste of time.

"This is what you said, Third-generation Grandpa, you can't go back on your word!! We will definitely complete it for you to see!"

Naruto patted his chest hard and said confidently.

"Hehe, then I'll wait and see."

Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and motioned to an ordinary Konoha ninja beside him to hand over another mission book, and after glancing at it.

"Let's take this C-level mission, which will ask you to protect a person. This mission also requires going to another country. I think it should be very suitable for you at the moment!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also directly locked onto an ordinary C-level mission above, and while talking to Naruto and Menma, he motioned for others to lead the employer over.

"Yeah, yeah!"

Naruto also nodded like a chicken sucking rice.

'Protect someone? It seems that it is very likely to be that mission again. ’

Menma’s eyebrows slightly raised, and the corresponding plot fragments in the original book appeared in his mind.

The next second.

“Squeak”.

The side door of the hall was pushed open.

The figure of a sloppy uncle wearing a bamboo hat appeared in the eyes of Menma, Naruto and others.

The moment he saw this figure.

Menma’s pupils also quickly flashed a look of ‘as expected’.
