My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 20: Towards Chunin
BBQ Q.

"Ha~ah" Iris patted her belly with a satisfied expression, "Super satisfied!"

Link also breathed a sigh of relief, his belly bulging. Due to financial constraints, he hadn't eaten anything good for a long time, and he was lucky enough to be able to swallow the food he grilled in the wild.

Plus, I had just finished a battle, so it felt great to have a big meal.

Xia wiped her mouth slowly and said, "Teacher Yanshui, if we pass the assessment, will we start taking on tasks from tomorrow?"

"That's right. Starting tomorrow, gather at the Hokage building at 7 a.m." Nara Yui nodded. As a bachelor and a jonin, he didn't have much to spend, so he could afford to treat his subordinates to a big meal occasionally. He looked at Link's hair, which he had never been able to repair, and asked, "Your hair—"

"Do you want to go to the hospital?"

It turns into an unhealthy grayish-white color after just one battle. There must be something wrong no matter how you think about it.

"It's ok."

Link touched his hair and it felt a little shredded, but it was still the same texture as hair and he didn't feel any discomfort. It was just a surface effect caused by the Stand and it did not harm the body. Even if there were any hidden effects, they would all disappear when the Stand dissipated.

He thought for a moment and then said, "It's a side effect of the surgery. It should be fine once the hair grows back."

Go home and shave your head yourself?

Forget it, it’s better to live with gray hair.

He was also a person who cared about his reputation. He was already a little bothered by his short stature at the age of nine, and now he was bald...

Rejection, absolute rejection.

"Yeah." Nara Yui responded. He didn't want to delve into his subordinates' secret techniques or bloodline limits. He drank a sip of ice water, stood up, and said, "Then let's stop here for today."

He took out his wallet and walked to the front desk, saying, "See you tomorrow."

The three members of Class 5 also stood up and followed them out of the barbecue restaurant. Just as they were about to leave, Link suddenly called out to two of his teammates, "Hey."

The two of them looked from different directions.

Link's tense face suddenly showed a smile, and he said, "Next, please give me your guidance."

Even though it was a test of an exercise nature, he was still a little touched that his two teammates stood in front of him obediently after being bullied by him.

The word "companion" will definitely be infused with some different emotions in a life-and-death battle.

Xia glanced at him and turned away.

Iris first shrugged her shoulders to express her helplessness, then raised her thumb and smiled before leaving.

Link didn't take it seriously. He hadn't thought about having any kind of bond with the team at the beginning. He just wanted to avoid making the relationship too awkward.

With the qualities cultivated in the ninja school, as long as the conflicts are not too big, basic cooperation and trust in battle can still be achieved.

Since there is currently no way to solve the defects of the Stand Technique, he really needs two meat shields who trust him to stand in front of him until he can summon a strong enough Stand.

"Very good, first step, becoming a Genin."

"Achieved."

Link stretched his body, which was a little sore from the intense battle, and smiled even brighter. "Next step——"

"Let's move forward to become a Chunin."
-
One month later, the task was assigned.

"I'm going to get another low-bounty mission." Link sighed secretly as he looked at the smiling faces of the staff.

A D-level mission is a simple mission that does not require any combat and is not life-threatening. The bounty is between 5,000 taels and 50,000 taels. In fact, most of them hover around 10,000 taels. If it is divided equally among four people, the amount received will be even less.

And once it comes to the point of issuing tasks, it can’t be completed all at once—

For example, their last D-level mission, with a bounty of 12,000 taels, was a special mission assigned by Nara Saltwater. It involved cleaning up garbage at the bottom of a section of the Minamigano River. It took them ten full days to clear all the garbage.

Of course, the main reason was that Iris and Kasumi spent more than five days adapting to treading water, and Link worked hard for three days before two teammates joined in. Their contributions to the entire mission should be about the same as his. However, Nara Yanshui was fair in distributing the bounty and gave him more money.

Similarly, the first D-level mission that the fifth team took on was to help a construction site cut down and transport trees. The two teammates also wasted a lot of time practicing tree climbing, so he got a higher bounty.

Even though D-level missions seem easy, they are actually only commissioned to ninjas because ordinary people cannot do them or it is too troublesome. Even if ninjas come, it will still waste a lot of time. Otherwise, why would people throw in thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver?

Now the third task is probably similar.

Link thought to himself.

Nara Yuito is absolutely qualified as a teacher. In the comics, Kakashi Hatake only started teaching his students to climb trees to enhance their chakra control abilities after he encountered ninjas on his first mission out of the village. And for his first two missions, he chose commissions that could be carried out simultaneously with training.

It's a bit awkward from Link's perspective. Treading water and climbing trees were things he did in his first year at the Ninja School. Now if he wants to improve his chakra control ability, he needs to work on it slowly. There won't be any improvement in a short period of time.

So the mission for him is just to make money.

"Sandaime Hokage, please give us a C-level mission." said Nara Yuito.

Eh? !

Link was a little surprised. He thought—

Nara Yushiro turned around and smiled, "As for the C-rank mission, I think you should have no problem."

C-level missions are actually at the level where you will get hurt, and you won't encounter any ninjas. For two qualified Genins and a Genin who has elite strength among Chunins after performing a secret technique, completing a C-level mission is absolutely a piece of cake.

"Since Yanshui has such considerations... let me see, this is it, please." The Sandaime Hokage sitting inside had no change in the smile on his face and handed over a task details sheet.

Nara Saltwater glanced at it and handed it to Link who was standing next to him.

"Go to the Death Forest and wipe out the rampant beasts... The reward is thirty thousand taels!"

After hearing what he read out, Iris and Kasumi were also somewhat excited. Mixing tasks and training together, doing simple tasks and constantly honing oneself felt good, but...

D-level missions are just too boring.

Ninjas are completely used as tools - in fact, ninjas seem to be tools in traditional concepts.

The bounty standard for a C-level mission is between 30,000 and 100,000 taels. Now that the task of clearing the rampant wild beasts in the training ground is issued by the village, it is understandable that the bounty is the minimum standard.

Most importantly, there can finally be a fight.
