Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Shuichiro Sarutobi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.

He glanced at his two subordinates who were completely petrified beside him, and then at Aoba, who looked completely indifferent.

Hey~

This team... is hard to manage.

"The test is over. Overall, it went well, but the teamwork needs to be improved."

Shuichiro Sarutobi offered a few lukewarm comments before announcing the disbandment.

"Now that the test is over, let's dismiss everyone. Meet at the Hokage Building at 8:00 AM tomorrow to receive your missions."

After saying that, he instantly disappeared to report the situation to the Hokage.

Ryuichi Okamoto and Yuta Nishimura then came to their senses, their eyes filled with complex emotions as they looked at Aoba.

Although I already knew that Aoba was strong, I didn't expect him to be this strong.

It's worth noting that Aoba was actually a year below them.

I initially thought that as the first and second place students in the grade, even if there was a difference in ability, it wouldn't be too much, but now it seems...

Aoba glanced at the two of them and then instantly disappeared.

Meanwhile, at the Ninja Academy, Minato, along with Kakashi, led away the remaining Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara.

As in the original timeline, Might Guy was grouped with Genma Shiranui and Ebisu.

Kurenai Yuhi also formed a team with Asuma Sarutobi.

……

The next morning, Aoba arrived at the Hokage Building again.

Ryuichi Okamoto and Yuta Nishimura arrived early to wait, both with obvious excitement on their faces.

Aoba glanced around and saw that most of the people coming over to receive their tasks were team leaders.

Of course, there were also newly promoted genin waiting in front of the building, just like them.

Soon, Shuichiro Sarutobi appeared before the three of them.

"Everyone's here, come with me."

Without saying much, Sarutobi Shuichiro led the three into the building and headed straight for the mission release center.

People came and went in the hall, their expressions serious. They all received their tasks and left without any unnecessary chatter.

A huge mission board was covered with all sorts of scrolls, ranging from D-rank to B-rank. Missions of A-rank and above were all issued by the Hokage. Of course, some low-level missions involving other countries also required the Hokage's judgment.

Shuichiro easily retrieved a D-rank mission scroll from the hidden compartment.

"Our team's first mission."

He unrolled the scroll.

Ryuichi Okamoto and Yuta Nishimura immediately crowded around, looking on with great anticipation.

"Clean up the garbage in the river east of the village..."

As Ryuichi Okamoto read it aloud, the excitement on his face instantly froze.

Yuta Nishimura's expression also fell. They were shocked by Aoba's strength yesterday, and they were all holding back their energy, ready to perform well in the mission. But this is how it turned out.

"Captain, is this what a D-rank mission is all about?"

Ryuichi Okamoto asked, somewhat unwillingly.

"Otherwise what?"

Sarutobi Shuichiro glanced at him. "The purpose of D-rank missions is to familiarize you newcomers with the environment, accumulate experience, and most importantly, cultivate teamwork. The battlefield is not a place to show off."

Aoba stood to the side, finding it quite novel.

He had only seen it in animation before; this was his first time experiencing it in person.

The group arrived at the riverbank and looked at the stinking ditch in front of them.

A strong smell of rotting aquatic plants mixed with the sour stench of household garbage hit the air.

The river water was murky and filled with all sorts of household garbage, plastic bags, and even dead fish.

"vomit--"

Yuta Nishimura covered his nose and almost threw up his breakfast.

Ryuichi Okamoto's face was also ashen as he looked at the muddy riverbank, unable to take a step.

"Let's begin."

With a shout, Shuichiro Sarutobi jumped onto a tree trunk and became the supervisor.

Ryuichi Okamoto took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and then jumped into the river first, picking up tongs to start collecting the trash.

Seeing this, Yuta Nishimura rolled up his trousers and jumped down as well.

Aoba: ...

Seriously, are you two that brave?!

The two even secretly competed to see who could clean up faster.

Aoba shook his head speechlessly.

He held a bag in one hand and a pair of tongs in the other, and jumped directly into the river.

Although the two worked hard, they were actually secretly observing Aoba. Little did they expect that he would jump down so gracefully.

then……

Then you see Aoba standing on the water, slowly picking up the tongs and putting the trash into a bag.

Ryuichi Okamoto and Yuta Nishimura, who were battling in the water, froze, staring blankly at the scene.

No, it can be like this?

Ryuichi and Yuta weren't stupid either; they instantly realized that this was the correct way to complete the mission.

They all took the initiative to ask Aoba how to stand on the water.

Aoba didn't hold back either, and told the two how to use chakra.

I'm not afraid of them asking; I'm afraid they won't ask at all!

Even if Aoba didn't teach them, after a while and they completed a certain number of tasks, Sarutobi Shuichiro would still teach them some tips on how to use chakra.

Shuichiro Sarutobi leaned against a tree, a faint smile appearing on his usually indifferent face.

next day~

Shuichiro Sarutobi received another D-rank mission: "Help the villagers repair their roofs."

Having learned from yesterday's experience, Ryuichi and Yuta looked directly at Aoba.

"The technique is the same. Yesterday you were standing on the water, today try how to get on the wall."

As he spoke, he pointed to the side, where Sarutobi Shuichiro was walking up the tree trunk.

The two men were immediately impressed when they saw their captain walking on the straight tree trunk as if it were flat ground.

"I see!"

Although the two had experience wading through water yesterday, climbing walls and wading through water are still different.

Moreover, during yesterday's wading trip, the two barely managed to stand on the water and even swallowed a lot of dirty water.

Even in the original work, it took Naruto and Sasuke about ten days to barely master climbing trees.

The method has been taught to them; as for when they will master it, that's up to them.

Aoba, after experiencing the novelty of "ninja life," also lost interest.

Ren-Xu-Bird-Hai……

boom!

A cloud of white smoke exploded.

Aoba immediately created a shadow clone.

"It's up to you now."

Aoba patted the shadow clone on the shoulder.

Then, amidst the puzzled gazes of the two, he used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to vanish from the spot.

Ryuichi Okamoto and Yuta Nishimura were both dumbfounded.

It's happening again?

Huh?

Why do I say "again"...?

Shuichiro Sarutobi did not stop Aoba from leaving. D-rank missions were meant to train new genin, and Aoba's skill level was already far beyond that of a genin.

These tasks were of little significance to him.

Therefore, he tacitly approved of Aoba's behavior.

Of course, more importantly, the Hokage had already given instructions.

Aoba won't stay in his squad for long.

Otherwise, if things continue like this, he won't know whether the team listens to him or Qingye!

Back in his own courtyard, Aoba sensed the remaining chakra within his body and frowned slightly.

The Shadow Clone Technique is indeed convenient, but it seems a bit unsuitable for him.
