Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 506 The First Mission of Class Seven

[Cover page story: On a high mountain in Kumogakure, Yuki is carrying a bag of rice seeds and heading towards the mountainside.]

Behind him followed a large group of elderly people from the Hidden Cloud Village.

They all came along because they wanted to learn the advanced farming techniques described in the travelogue...

……

The members of Team 7 were not chosen by Yua on purpose, but rather assigned by the Ninja Academy.

Simply put, Iruka thinks Team 7 has a better configuration.

Putting aside everything else, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto definitely possess talent in ninjutsu.

Therefore, the best support option for the two is a medical ninja.

Unfortunately, Sakura Haruno was the only medical ninja in Iruka's entire class.

Yamanaka Ino once considered learning medical ninjutsu, but she ultimately gave up on it.

Becoming a medical ninja isn't something you can just decide to do.

Although the threshold is not high, it is not low either. Putting aside everything else, the requirement to have good academic performance is enough to eliminate 70% of the applicants.

The proportion of ninjas from Konoha Village is also very high. These ninja clans all have their own clan secret techniques. People can achieve twice the result with half the effort by practicing their own clan's secret techniques. Why would they bother to learn medical ninjutsu, which is difficult and unrewarding?

Therefore, Iruka could only find other ways to strengthen Sasuke and Naruto.

There is no doubt that Naruto and Sasuke's ninjutsu skills are beyond question.

But as for physical skills...

It's not that they're not strong, it's just that they're definitely not as strong as the Hyuga clan's taijutsu.

Especially now that the Hyuga clan is having a positive reaction with the Six Paths Chakra, the Hyuga clan's taijutsu is showing a trend of evolution.

Iruka saw this and decided to send Hinata to Team 7.

Without a doubt, this choice was absolutely correct.

Some people might ask, what about Sakura Haruno?

Sakura Haruno went to Konoha Hospital.

From its inception, Konoha Hospital has faced a shortage of medical resources.

It's not that having a dozen or twenty doctors graduate every year would be enough to meet the needs of Konoha Village.

Konoha has hundreds of thousands of newborns every year, but only a little over a hundred medical students graduate each year.

You could say that Tsunade has high standards, but Tsunade believes that if the standards for doctors aren't high, then if these doctors make a mistake once after they start working, it could cost a life.

Tsunade can accept doctors' failures. After all, doctors are not gods, and surgery carries the risk of failure. In fact, the success rate of some of Tsunade's major surgeries is less than 50%.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Tsunade was taking on patients with serious injuries who were almost about to die.

Even Tsunade herself couldn't guarantee a 100% success rate, so the doctors didn't actually feel much psychological pressure when performing the surgery.

But this is a normal failure, not the kind of mistake where you make some stupid errors.

For example, dropping a scalpel into a patient's abdomen, or washing gloves carelessly after use and then using them on the next patient without letting them dry completely...

Tsunade has zero tolerance for these mistakes.

As a result, the graduation exams are always very rigorous, and it is common for students to take them repeatedly if they fail.

The longest-serving doctor in Konoha Village took the exams was seven years in a row. He entered Konoha Medical College at the age of thirteen, started taking the exams at sixteen, and finally passed at the age of twenty-three.

Sakura Haruno doesn't know how long it will take, but...

She's definitely being treated like a treasure by Iruka; there's no way he'd hand her over to any ninja group.

In reality, Sakura is already able to intern at Konoha Hospital.

Yeah, the kind where you don't have money. (So Yuya always wants to hang on other people's lampposts; in a way, Yuya should actually do it.)

There's really no other way. If every doctor who graduates at age 12 and is able to do an internship at Konoha Hospital has to be paid, it would put a lot of pressure on Yuya.

What? Why is Sakura being brought up as a source of stress?

The reason is actually quite simple. To put it simply, firstly, the doctors in Konoha Village earn very high salaries.

The situation You Xi experienced in her previous life, where her internship salary was 1,500, her regular salary was 3,000, and her salary increased to 4,000 after a year, is absolutely nonexistent.

During the internship, the salary was 80,000 taels of silver. After becoming a full-time employee, the monthly salary was 150,000 taels of silver. After being promoted to officer, the salary doubled again. At the same time, because the economic system of Youya was linked to gold, the currency system was very strong.

This money is real.

Some people might ask, isn't Sakura Haruno just one person? And her salary isn't high.

Haha, that's because you don't understand what nepotism is.

Most of the doctors in Konoha Village now follow a professional path.

If a system were introduced where ninja academy graduates could go directly to a hospital as "intern" and earn 80,000 ryo a month, how many interns do you think would appear the following month?

The data looks good, but what's the reality?

How can you expect someone who has never even read a medical book to save lives?

Therefore, it would be better to leave Yuya as it is.

Ok……

Besides, not paying salaries does save a lot of money, right? (whispering)

……

Well, in short, the grouping of Team 7 reflects a fact: rather than making all teams more balanced, Iruka chose to make some teams stand out more.

For example, Sasuke and Naruto could easily become captains of another team.

However, among the more than 300 ninjas graduating from the Ninja Academy this year, there are undoubtedly very few who are at the level of Sasuke and Naruto.

If the chakra of the insects inside Aburame Shino were replaced with Six Paths chakra, then Aburame Shino could compete with the two of them.

However, although the Aburame clan's experiment was successful, the amount of Six Paths Chakra was limited, and the technology for mass production had not yet been broken through. The Aburame clan could only wait anxiously for news from Orochimaru, since they didn't understand scientific research.

Therefore, the strongest graduates of this year are Naruto and Sasuke.

Hinata, on the other hand, is here to strengthen this team.

Theoretically speaking, this team is fully capable of taking on missions of B rank or higher.

This is a bit outrageous. Many graduates of ninja academies have a hard time completing a C-rank mission, yet this team could even attempt an A-rank mission.

And then there's Kakashi, a Jonin...

Hiss, an S-rank mission doesn't seem so out of the question...

Well, that's impossible. Konoha Village wouldn't allow these students to be in any potential danger right now.

After all, for Yuya, the value of a ninja is far greater than that of some money.

Therefore, the first mission that Kakashi and his team took on was only a C-rank mission.

C-level mission:

Escort the Sunagakure merchant group back to Sunagakure.
