Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 706 New Weather

"Lin! Lin! What's wrong!"

Perhaps it was Nohara Lin's exclamation that attracted the attention of several nearby children handing out leaflets. A boy with short black hair and goggles ran over quickly, stopped abruptly and protected Nohara Lin behind him. Looking at Minato and Kushina with a serious face.

"Obito, it's nothing, it's Kakashi's master and wife."

Gently pushing away the overly enthusiastic Obito, Rin Nohara first nodded politely to Kushina Minato, then smiled a little embarrassedly, and said:

"Minato-sama, Kushina-sama, it's been a long time. I didn't recognize you just now. If Kakashi knew, how would he laugh at me?"

Hearing Kakashi's name from Lin's mouth again, Obito was obviously very upset, and it showed on his face, that is, the corner of his mouth curled up, and his eyes revealed jealousy.

However, the two opposite were Kakashi's elders after all, and they were also powerful ninjas that were rare in the village. Obito still restrained the urge to complain and didn't say anything.

"Kakashi? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Minato recalled his cheap apprentice, inexplicably felt that his teacher seemed a little irresponsible, and felt a little guilty in his heart, so he couldn't help asking a few questions, wanting to learn about Kakashi's situation from Lin and Obito .

"That guy Kakashi seems to have gone to the security department to help out recently. He said that the conditions there are good, and he can learn combat skills with his companions and improve his strength."

This time it was Obito who was talking, and he spread his hands pretending to be helpless, and finally sighed again, grinning slightly and added:
"Ninjas of his age are not accepted at all, and the intelligence department can only join if they are over 20 years old. Kakashi doesn't want to do production tasks, so he can only go to the security department to dawdle."

The amount of information revealed between Obito's two sentences, Minato subconsciously glanced at Lin, saw that she also nodded slightly after Obito finished speaking, and couldn't help but curiously said:

"Aren't the security department full of Uchiha ninjas? When did you accept outsiders? And... don't tell me there are no other tasks in the village other than production tasks? Kakashi won't be able to receive combat tasks?"

Obito and Lin looked at each other, and the two quickly realized that Minato and Kushina would probably not be in the country for a long time, otherwise it would be impossible not to even know this kind of news.

"The Security Department is no longer exclusive to Uchiha. That department now manages a lot of complicated things, and its members include both civilian ninjas and ninja ninjas."

"As long as there are any combat missions in the village now, the ninjas of the security department are the first to go out, and the casual people can't beat them at all."

Since the Fire Nation government has organized two large-scale raids covering the entire border in the past year or so, the bandits and bandits in the country have basically disappeared.

If you add the Konoha military area guarding the area, and the countless civilian ninjas born from the National Chakra Project, the number of civilian ninjas has increased year by year, so the security environment in the Land of Fire today has almost reached an unprecedented high standard. .

Under such circumstances, it is normal for Konoha Village's share of combat missions to be reduced to the extreme under the situation that Konoha's native ninjas will be regarded as rare animals when they go out.

In short, the Land of Fire has gradually lost the soil for ninjas to fight, and Konoha's security department has become an organization that is more and more similar to a fighting club.

Every year, there are many combat ninjas who neither want to be production ninjas, nor want to be stationed in various Konoha military regions. They go to the security department to train and relieve boredom. share of combat missions.

As for Konoha's real fighting ninja elites, they went to the intelligence department and root development one after another.

As for Kakashi, he suffered mainly from his lack of age.

After all, whether it is the intelligence department or the root, they are masters and need to lurk in enemy countries for a long time to collect intelligence.

A lord needs to clean up unclean officials and dishonest ninjas.

These are all jobs that depend on age and experience, and it's not just about fighting ability.

If you are an expatriate...

For some unknown reason, Kakashi finally gave up on this plan, maybe because he couldn't bear the overly strict discipline requirements?
Of course, this guess is just what Lin and Obito think. Since Minato knows Kakashi a little bit, he feels that his apprentice is probably waiting for the teacher to come back to give him an idea.

There are fewer and fewer traditional ninja missions in the Land of Fire, and Konoha is becoming more and more like a military department of a modern country, and rarely accepts foreign missions randomly.

This also led to the fact that, except for the ninjas of the two giant organizations, the Intelligence Department and the Genbu, the rest of the fighting ninjas had almost nothing to do all day long, except for training, which was almost boring.

"Strange, if there is no task, wouldn't it be impossible to earn money for food? If you don't do production work, isn't that equivalent to having no job?"

Listening to Minato's communication with Obito and Rin, Kushina couldn't bear to be curious, couldn't help asking, and soon got Obito's answer:

"As long as you pass the graduation assessment of fighting ninjas and become a sub-ninja, it is equivalent to obtaining the national establishment."

"After graduation, complete the weekly training targets on time, successfully pass the strength test of each period, and participate in some exercises from time to time. If you do these things, then you can get money even if you don't go on missions."

With that said, Obito shrugged his shoulders, raised the leaflet in his hand, and continued to explain under the surprised eyes of the two Minato:
"Of course, salaries are linked to strength. Ninja school students like me and Lin who are studying combat subjects but whose strength is not up to the graduation standard, if they want to make money, they can only fight this kind of unskilled Odd jobs."

"After all, we are both almost ten years old, and I always feel a little embarrassed to spend money at home."

Seeing Obito's somewhat unnatural head-scratching movements, Minato and Kushina exchanged glances, and then looked at Lin, only to see the girl lightly pursing her lips, and cast a reproachful glance at her companion beside her, with a slightly elongated tone :
"Tai-tu, how can you look down on what we are doing now? Helping conscientious companies to publicize, so that everyone can use better equipment, isn't it also improving our Konoha's strength from the side?"

"Do you want to see that on the battlefield in the future, the detonating talismans produced by unscrupulous merchants can't detonate, killing our companions? You, you have no sense of social responsibility!"

Hearing Lin mentioning our company, conscientious enterprises, unscrupulous manufacturers and other novel words many times, Minato skipped Obito's embarrassing expression and asked Lin, "Lin, are there many manufacturers of products like detonating bombs?" ?”
