I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.

Task Assignment Hall.

After tidying up her slightly disheveled clothes, Hoshino Yu hurried over.

At the main gate, most of the people coming and going were commissioners and ninjas, and occasionally one could also see nobles dressed in fine clothes.

That's normal; in the original story, Naruto and his friends even helped the Lady of the Fire Country find her cat.

However, it would be almost impossible in other worlds for a ninja with extraordinary abilities to do these things.

In any cultivation world, imagine a commoner like you asking a Qi Refining or even Foundation Establishment cultivator to help you farm and find cats. See what the result will be.

It would be good enough if they didn't slaughter you.

The mission hall is located next to the Hokage Building, and almost all missions in the village are assigned from here.

Upon entering, Hoshino Yu saw Orochimaru standing in front of the mission allocation counter, carefully selecting from a stack of documents.

Genin can accept low-level missions, while high-level missions require high-level ninjas to lead the team.

Most importantly, for a genin to be promoted to chunin, the minimum requirement is to complete 8 or more missions before they can participate in the chunin exams.

Looking at the sign above the counter that read "Everyone, please do your best," Hoshino Yu strode towards Orochimaru's location.

"Orochimaru-sensei, what kind of task are you assigning me?"

Seeing that Orochimaru did not respond, Hoshino Yuya could only wait silently.

A moment later, Orochimaru casually picked out a few mission documents, had the ninja who issued the mission confirm the information, and then turned around and handed the mission certificate to Hoshino Yu.

"Yu, these are the tasks you need to complete within three days."

"Let me see..." Hoshino Yu took the documents and vouchers and carefully reviewed them.

Before reading it, he thought it would be some kind of high-level mission, or something like wiping out bandits who were causing trouble.

Unexpectedly, the task information in their hands consisted mainly of low-level tasks such as finding lost poultry, repairing houses, moving supplies, and helping villagers clear pests from farmland.

He really is...

It felt so good!

He remained outwardly calm, but secretly he was overjoyed.

There are 8 D-level tasks, each rewarding 5 taels. Completing all of them will yield a reward of 4 taels. After deducting the official 10% commission, you will still receive 3.6 taels.

With future expenses not to be small, and tens of thousands of taels in hand, one need not worry too much about making a living.

Although it's not as much as his royalties, who would complain about having too much money?

Orochimaru's idea was to have Hoshino Yu do some low-level tasks to temper his character, since the genius teenagers of the past usually looked down on such low-level tasks.

For example, a blond son who always has a girlfriend.

But that's precisely why we need to cultivate our temperament and prevent ourselves from being too impatient.

Orochimaru observed Hoshino Yu's current state, and seeing that he showed no impatience, he remained silent.

"Is that all, Orochimaru-sensei?"

"That's all for now. We'll arrange other tasks after these are finished."

Rolling up the mission documents in his hand and putting them in his pocket along with the voucher, Hoshino Yu stretched and said to Orochimaru:

"Yes, teacher, I'll go and make some preparations first."

After saying that, he immediately used the Body Flicker Technique "Shave" and disappeared from the mission hall.

The mission materials contain intelligence and detailed locations. You can leave the village simply by presenting the credentials. The process is relatively simple.

Once Hoshino Yu left, Orochimaru did not linger any longer.

Watching Orochimaru's departing figure, the ninja who issued the mission said to his colleague with some envy:

"A six-year-old genius genin! Lord Orochimaru has taken on a fine disciple!"

"yes......"

......

"Eight tasks, completed within three days, shouldn't be a problem," Hoshino Yu murmured as she packed her things at home.

The tasks seem numerous, but they are actually not that difficult to complete.

Tasks like finding cats or dogs can be easily completed by simply using Observation Haki to sense their exact locations and then tracking them down.

Repairing houses and moving supplies were not considered major problems.

Hoshino Yu could guess a thing or two about Orochimaru's intentions.

It's nothing more than a test of his character, and also a way for him to accumulate a number of tasks.

You could say this is just an appetizer.

As for whether any unexpected events might occur, he didn't know.

Flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand wind and rain, but roadside weeds have amazing vitality and adaptability.

Orochimaru often mentioned this to him.

The ninja world can be described as a cesspool, and those who are in it cannot help but be clean.

Hoshino Yu wants to live a good life, but he can't control the actual situation for the time being.

Not to mention that Madara Uchiha is still alive, the Fourth Shinobi World War is probably related to Black Zetsu, so they can't escape being involved either way.

If you don't have the ability, you're just a nobody. Now that you have a chance, you still need to seize the time to grow.

After securing the ninja tool pouch to his waist, Hoshino Yu took out the mission information from his pocket and quickly examined it.

"The first three tasks are within the village, while the others require leaving the village, so let's do them in order."

Having planned his route and closed the door, he sped off towards the mission location.

The three D-level missions in the village were to retrieve lost poultry, repair houses, and move supplies. Hoshino Yu quickly completed them in less than a morning.

At this moment, he stood at the entrance of Konoha Village and handed the mission token to the gatekeeper ninja.

The current gatekeepers of Konoha are not the well-known Izumo Kamui and Kotetsu Koko, but just a few unfamiliar Chunin.

It's worth noting that when Pain invaded Konoha, he didn't dare to go directly through the main gate, which shows just how valuable Konoha's gatekeepers are (just kidding).

The verification process was very simple. A Chunin, who was chewing on a straw, checked the documents and handed them back to him, adding a reminder:

Be careful while you're away from home.

"Thank you for the reminder, senior."

Hoshino Yu accepted the voucher and bowed in response, then sped off towards his destination.

Once outside the village, he was greeted by dense forests. Sunlight shimmered through the thick foliage, and the dirt road wound its way into the woods, forcing him to stop and reconfirm his destination.

Having been in the ninja world for several years, this was his first time leaving the village.

However, he felt that it was not much different from the village, basically all large forests, but there was a road for caravans and supply trains.

As for walking along the road, why bother walking when you've become a ninja? When you're in a hurry, the shortest path is to walk between two points and jump from tree branches.

He unleashed his Observation Haki to its fullest extent, and everything within a few kilometers around him appeared in his mind.

D-rank missions are usually located in relatively safe areas, such as nearby villages or towns, and can be reached in a short time if you are fast.

Fortunately, Hoshino Yu's Observation Haki directly covered the entire target area, saving him a lot of unnecessary detours.

He planned to do two of the remaining five tasks each day, so that he could complete them smoothly by the third day.

There are plenty of ways to slack off; as long as the work is completed within the deadline, that's fine.

Otherwise, if you do it too quickly, your boss might think the task is too easy, and it wouldn't be ideal if they assigned you a more difficult one next time.

......

night.

After completing two tasks in the afternoon, Hoshino Yu didn't rush back to the village. Instead, she sat by the campfire in the forest, roasting the big fish she had caught in the river that afternoon.

This place is about ten kilometers away from Konoha, and it's the first time he's spent the night outside a village, which is also Orochimaru's mission requirement.

You are not allowed to return to the village until the mission is completed.

Taking a bite of the fragrant fish, he began to think about his next plans.

With World War II imminent and likely to deviate from the original 37-year war start date, they encountered a Konoha ninja squad heading towards the border in the afternoon.

Having fought Orochimaru during the day, he had a general idea of ​​Orochimaru's current strength level.

Without using his Devil Fruit powers, relying solely on ninjutsu and taijutsu, he is generally unbeatable by Chunin or even Special Jonin.

Moreover, with Observation Haki, there's no need to worry about being tricked by those old guys and suffering a setback.

Just as Hoshino Yu was pondering, he suddenly sensed that several figures were approaching his location from about three kilometers to the northeast.

"Five ninjas? No, their chakra reserves are rather low, and their movement doesn't resemble that of ninjas."

"Could they be bandits...?"

After pondering for a moment, Hoshino Yu ate two more bites of fish, extinguished the campfire, and then instantly fled towards the bandits.

The bandits here are no good; they do everything from burning and killing to looting, and they don't treat civilians like human beings at all.

With the addition of the Shave technique, his speed was extremely fast, and he soon approached the bandits.

Hoshino Yu stood in the shadows, his gaze fixed on the leader of the bandits, who was more like a wandering ninja than a bandit.

"Where are we going?"
