Konoha's Hextech Ninja

The system in Konoha is too outdated; the Hokage has to personally approve all kinds of matters, big and small.

Even D-rank missions like finding cats and catching dogs require the Hokage to personally announce them.

The administrative efficiency is ridiculously low.

"This kind of trivial matter can just be delegated to the subordinates." Yagami Yoruichi greeted Tsunade and couldn't help but offer her opinion: "Only S-rank, or at most A-rank, missions deserve the Hokage's personal attention, right?"

"Can we do it this way?" Tsunade's eyes lit up.

Seeing her expression, Yagami Yoruichi felt a strange unease and asked, "You didn't even think of that before, did you? Even the previous Hokage couldn't have imagined it?"

Upon hearing Yoruichi Yagami's question, Tsunade looked embarrassed and said with evasive eyes, "I've always seen it this way, so I didn't think much of it..."

As for why the previous Hokage would bother with such trivial matters, she had no idea.

Seeing this, Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but purse his lips.

However, Yagami Yoruichi didn't ask any further questions.

Yagami Yoruichi ultimately had very little affection for Konoha in this world.

Aside from a few people, Yoruichi Yagami didn't care about the lives or deaths of everyone else.

If Tsunade weren't the current Hokage, Yoruichi Yagami wouldn't have mentioned what she just said.

"I've completed enough D-rank missions for the first shift, I'll take on a C-rank mission," Yagami Yoruichi said. "Escort missions are preferred. If possible, even higher-ranking missions would be best."

One B-level mission is equivalent to ten C-level missions in terms of experience.

Yagami Yoruichi only wanted Team 1 to accumulate enough mission experience as soon as possible so that they could meet the requirements for applying for the Chunin Exams.

"A high-level mission?" Tsunade frowned, looking at Yagami Yoruichi with a hint of doubt.

“Their strength is already very strong; what they lack is experience.” Yagami Yoruichi thought for a moment and said, “Actually, in terms of strength alone, they are all qualified to carry out S-rank missions. However, since they lack experience, A-rank missions would be better for them.”

If they can complete an A-rank mission, then they won't need to take Team 1 out on missions again until the Chunin Exams.

The three are: the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family, the hope for the rise of the Kurama clan, and a member of the Uzumaki clan raised by Yagami Yoruichi.

None of the three of them lacked the task rewards.

The reason for doing tasks is simply to enhance one's resume and improve one's status.

“That’s true, those three kids in your class are all prodigies.” Tsunade nodded in agreement.

When Yoruichi Yagami and the three little ones were doing their daily combat training, Tsunade occasionally watched them and knew their skill level.

It is no exaggeration to say that under Yagami Yoruichi's intensive training, after the three women completely transformed their strength into combat power, each of them reached the level of a Jonin.

The three of them working together pose a significant threat even to weaker Kage-level opponents.

With this level of skill, they are qualified to carry out most S-level missions.

The only thing that gave Tsunade some pause was: "They haven't had any real combat experience yet, have they? I mean, real combat with the enemy."

“No, so I’ve come here to find a suitable mission.” Yagami Yoruichi shrugged and said, “If you don’t mind, you can give me the mission list and I’ll choose.”

"Alright, you choose for yourself." Tsunade didn't stand on ceremony and directly tossed the task list to Yoruichi Yagami, reminding her, "Don't go too far, they're still kids."

“Of course I know that,” Yagami Yoruichi replied, flipping through the mission list.

After turning over for a while, Yagami Yoruichi suddenly showed a strange expression.

"A priestess from the Land of Demons seeking help? Shouldn't the story of the demons be set in the Shippuden era?" Yagami Yoruichi wondered.

I watched this theatrical version of Yagami Yoruichi, but it was so long ago that I can't remember the details, only the general outline.

Basically, there's a monster called 'Mouryou' who, with his undead army, wants to destroy the world. With Naruto Uzumaki's help, the priestess Shion from the Land of Demons successfully seals 'Mouryou' away.

Although the movie doesn't have a clear timeline, judging from Naruto and the others' ages, it's obviously set in the Shippuden era.

But now it's been brought forward by several years?

Is it the butterfly effect again?

Yoruichi Yagami was puzzled, but without giving it much thought, she pointed directly at the mission and said, "This is it."

Tsunade was taken aback when she saw the mission Yoruichi Yagami had chosen: "A mission to the Land of Demons? That's an S-rank mission! I was originally planning to send the Anbu..."

"Let's go with this one. They have a powerful enemy, and they're not human, so it's perfect for them to join forces."

As Yagami Yoruichi continued, she added, "Also, I'm somewhat interested in that 'Mouryou'."

A monster that is immortal and can control an undead army.

It likely involves the era before the Otsutsuki clan arrived on this planet.

There was also the 'shrine maiden power' that was clearly incompatible with the chakra system, which also made Yagami Yoruichi quite concerned.

Different power systems might offer some inspiration to Yoruichi Yagami.

Moreover, from another perspective, if the 'Wanglang' were to successfully break free and lead the Undead Legion to sweep across the ninja world, it would be a considerable problem.

The possibility of truly destroying the world is almost negligible.

But if things get too out of hand and affect Yoruichi Yagami's "return home," that would be bad.

Yoruichi Yagami was still worried about sending other people.

Only by going there in person can you ensure that no major problems arise.

As for Hinata and her two sisters, with Yoruichi Yagami around, there's no need to worry about them encountering any danger.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Tsunade thought for a moment, still somewhat worried about Hinata and the other two girls, and said, "I'll arrange another team for you."

Chapter 245 Yagami Yoruichi: Is she also a 'Celestial Spirit'?

"It's been a long time, Yoruichi."

At the entrance to Konoha, Mitarashi Anko greeted Yagami Yoruichi and said, "I've been too busy lately to visit you. How about our two teams have a competition for this mission?"

"Busy?" Yagami Yoruichi glanced at Mitarashi Anko but didn't respond to her question.

Yoruichi Yagami had previously set a goal for Anko Mitarashi: if she could withstand Charmander for an hour without being defeated, she would teach Anko Mitarashi how to train.

At first, she was very enthusiastic and wanted to challenge herself once a week.

But after a while, perhaps his confidence was shaken, and he came less and less often.

It's been more than half a year since I last challenged Charmander.

Actually, Mitarashi Anko's strength has improved over the past few years.

However, Charmander's strength was too great, making Mitarashi Anko's strength seem rather inadequate.

"Hey, what's with that look?!" Mitarashi Anko instantly bristled, yelling at Yagami Yoruichi in dissatisfaction, "Do you believe I'll go to Anko-senpai every day and badmouth you?!"

"Oh." Yagami Yoruichi completely ignored her threat: "Go ahead."

Since their kiss at the izakaya a while ago, the relationship between Yagami Yoruichi and Yuhi Kurenai has progressed rapidly, and their feelings for each other have quickly intensified.

It's not something that Mitarashi Anko can sway with just a few words.

Seeing that Yagami Yoruichi remained unmoved, Mitarashi Anko's expression changed, and she said coquettishly, "Yoru~ichi~-sama~, just have a match~! If you lose, you'll teach me how to train, okay~~~!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Yagami Yoruichi's arm and shook it vigorously.

"Your teammates are here." Yagami Yoruichi pointed behind Mitarashi Anko.

Her movements froze instantly, and she stiffly turned her neck to look behind her.

A few meters away, Inuzuka Tsurugi, riding on the back of a huge dog, teased, "Hey, Anko, you're pretty good at being affectionate!"

Genma Shiranui had a toothpick in his mouth, staring with dead fish eyes, looking like he hadn't seen anything.

"Hahahaha, I was just joking with Yoruichi-sama, hahahaha!" Mitarashi Anko tried to cover up her embarrassing moment, but the more she spoke, the more awkward it became. After a few sentences, she couldn't continue and quickly ran away: "The mission is important, everyone, let's go!"

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry without waiting for anyone else to react.

"This guy, not everyone's here yet." Genma Shiranui rubbed his forehead with one hand, looking speechless.

"You two go ahead, we'll catch up later," Yagami Yoruichi said to the two of them.

"Alright, see you later." Inuzuka Tsurugi and Shiranui Genma said goodbye to Yagami Yoruichi and immediately set off to catch up.

Yagami Yoruichi waited for a while longer before Hinata and the other two girls arrived with their backpacks.

"Yes, I'm sorry, we're late." Karin Uzumaki apologized nervously.

"No, it's nothing. The agreed time is nine o'clock, and it's not time yet." Yagami Yoruichi looked at the three of them and asked, "Are you nervous?"

"No... I'm not nervous." Hinata Hinata said she wasn't nervous, but her actual demeanor was completely different.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a mission outside the village, not much different from doing missions inside the village."

Yagami Yoruichi smiled and comforted him, "Besides, with me here, what's there to be afraid of? Let's go, they've already set off, let's hurry and catch up."

……

To allow Hinata and the other two girls to adjust, the journey was not particularly fast.

It took them a full five days to reach the Land of Demons.

However, along the way, he successfully eased the tension of the three women.

Mitarashi Anko recovered from the embarrassment of the company failure and, together with Shiranui Genma and Inuzuka Tsuru, began to investigate the risks along the way.

“No need to be so vigilant. Karin and Hinata are both sensory types. If there are enemies, they will definitely be able to detect them,” Yagami Yoruichi said casually.

Hinata Hyuga's Byakugan and Karin Uzumaki's "Kagura Mind's Eye" are both abilities that allow for long-distance perception, with a very wide range of perception.

In the entire ninja world, methods to evade these two types of sensory detection are extremely rare.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your team is really all-around amazing." Mitarashi Anko exclaimed, "You have sensory perception, ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and even a medical ninja."

The medical ninja refers to Karin Uzumaki.

It would be a waste not to use the ability of 'physical healing' as a medical ninja.

"Envious, aren't you?" Yagami Yoruichi glanced at Mitarashi Anko and said, "Karin also knows a little bit of simple sealing techniques."

The top bloodline of the Whirlpool Clan is truly all-powerful.

Aside from being a little lacking in illusion magic, he can do almost anything.

"You bloodline ninjas are just too shameless!" Mitarashi Anko admitted that she was a little overwhelmed.

Compared to the ninjas of bloodline clans, even if these commoner ninjas have the best talents, it seems that their future is predictable.

“You’re not some ordinary commoner.”

Yagami Yoruichi muttered to himself, but didn't say it aloud.

Although it is unclear what kind of constitution Mitarashi Anko has.

But what Yagami Yoruichi can be certain of is that her physique is definitely not simple.

However, Yagami Yoruichi was only slightly interested in her physique and did not intend to delve into the details.

They chatted as they hurried on their way.

Soon, the group arrived outside an ancient castle.

The castle is not large, surrounded by a wooden wall made of wooden stakes, with arrow towers scattered around it.

"The place where the shrine maiden lives is really remote."

Mitarashi Anko couldn't help but complain, "Such a remote place, life must be inconvenient, right? What were they thinking!"

After Genma Shiranui finished negotiating with the castle guards, he returned and heard what Anko Mitarashi had said. He explained, "It is said that because the shrine maiden has a special power that brings misfortune to those around her, she chooses to stay away from people."

"It's pretty unlucky to have taken on this mission," Mitarashi Anko said, but she was the first to lead the way into the castle.

"Fellow ninjas of Konoha, I am Ashiho, and on behalf of the priestess, I welcome you all." A servant emerged from the castle and invited Ashiho, "The priestess awaits you inside."

"I heard this mission is a joint operation involving multiple ninja villages?" Mitarashi Anko asked. "Have any other ninja villages arrived yet?"

"The ninja masters of Iwagakure arrived four days ago," Azusa said truthfully. "The ninjas from other villages have not yet arrived. This disaster is very troublesome, and we need to gather as much strength as possible to deal with it."

"Take us to see the shrine maiden," Yagami Yoruichi interrupted their conversation.

I didn't feel it when I was outside before.

Upon entering the castle, Yagami Yoruichi immediately sensed a very peculiar power.

It's not chakra, but it has a high degree of similarity to Yang Release.
