The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Most of the time, Hiruzen Sarutobi stays in his office dealing with a huge amount of complicated administrative affairs, but occasionally he will still take some time to visit various departments in the ninja village for work inspections.

Task Center.

It is also one of the most important institutions in a ninja village!

Hiruzen Sarutobi would also come here periodically to personally issue missions to some ninjas, which could be considered a kind of 'people-friendly gesture'!

"Hehe, I just happened to have some free time today, so I came to check on you. Your mission went smoothly, Naruto!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly with his usual kind smile and said.

"Yes, Third Grandfather, this mission has been successfully completed! So, I want to challenge myself with a more difficult mission. Third Grandfather, please give our team a mission of C rank or higher, that would be much more challenging!!!"

I saw Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Naruto immediately changed his mind!

Once you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance!

If he could, he'd never want to continue with a D-rank mission; Naruto craves challenges!

His goal has always been to become the greatest Hokage, far surpassing his father and even all previous Hokage!

While handing over the task, he couldn't wait to speak.

"Oh? Why are you in such a hurry, Naruto? There are rules about what level of mission a team can take. In the initial period, a newly formed team like yours can only take on the lowest level missions. This is to better train you. Your instructor, Jonin Kakashi, is an experienced ninja. He will know very well when to give you the appropriate missions!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi still looked at Naruto with a smile on his face and said.

"Of course I understand all these principles, but it's been over a month! The Third Hokage and Brother Kakashi haven't shown any interest in taking on higher-level missions. D-rank missions are meaningless to us. Ninjas need more training and trials to grow. Our team is strong enough to handle higher-level missions, and at the very least, we still have Brother Kakashi. Don't you agree?"

It seems like Naruto is determined to go head-to-head with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He persisted, refusing to back down.

"I think Naruto is right. Our team can definitely try more difficult missions. After all, Kakashi-sensei is already a Jonin at our age!"

Menma continued, picking up where Naruto left off.

High-level and low-level tasks.

For Mianma now, the difference isn't actually that big, but Mianma really hopes to have the opportunity to leave the village.

The reason is simple: for any future plans, Menma needs to be familiar with the terrain around Konoha Village!

The descriptions in the original work about the previous life and the understanding on paper in this life are completely insufficient!

You have to do it yourself!

This requires receiving a mission that allows you to leave the ninja village, and you need more than one mission to do it!

Mianma didn't want to encounter the problem of being unfamiliar with the roads at the very end, as that was no small matter.

Mianma opened his mouth.

Naruto immediately showed a happy expression.

"That's right, that's right! Kakashi-nii, you still think we're young? You were a Jonin in the village when you were only 12! We're perfectly capable of carrying out even higher-level missions!"

Even Sasuke, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement.

"You guys..."

Kakashi shook his head, somewhat amused.

Just as Kakashi was about to say something,

“Hmm, that makes sense. But Naruto, Menma, you need to think this through. The difficulty of a ninja mission increases dramatically with each level. Even though your team has Kakashi, a failed mission will lower the ninja's reputation. Even so, do you still want to keep going?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was at the head of the table, asked with great interest.

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi had spoken, Kakashi shut his mouth. In any case, as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't object, Kakashi didn't care.

With his abilities, in most situations, there's really nothing to worry about.

"Don't worry, Third Generation Grandfather, our team is strong enough to successfully complete the mission!"

Naruto's eyes lit up at Hiruzen Sarutobi's agreement, and he quickly said something as if afraid that Hiruzen might change his mind.

"Alright then, I'll give your team a C-rank mission in advance. Naruto, Menma, you've said your piece, so you absolutely have to complete it!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and nodded as he spoke.

Let alone Naruto.

At that moment, both of them smiled slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Rank D mission.

Honestly.

Sasuke was already annoyed.

This is a complete waste of time.

"You said it, Grandpa, you can't go back on your word!! We'll definitely do it for you!"

Naruto patted his chest vigorously and said confidently.

"Hehe, then I'll wait and see."

After chuckling, Hiruzen Sarutobi gestured to an ordinary Konoha ninja to hand over another mission book, which he then glanced at.

"Let's take this C-level mission. It will send you to protect someone, and it will also require you to travel to another country. I think it's a good fit for your current situation!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi also immediately locked onto a regular C-rank mission. While talking to Naruto and Menma, he gestured for the others to go and lead the employer over.

"Mmm mmm mmm!!"

Naruto nodded frantically, like a chick pecking at rice.

'Protecting someone? It seems very likely it's still that same mission.'

Mianma raised an eyebrow slightly, and the corresponding plot fragments from the original work immediately came to mind.

next second.

"Creak" sound.

The side door of the hall was then pushed open.

Then, the figure of a disheveled middle-aged man wearing a straw hat appeared in the sight of Menma, Naruto, and the others.

The moment I saw that figure.

A fleeting look of 'I knew it' flashed across Mianma's eyes.

Chapter 45 Mission in the Land of Waves

Dazner.

This is the name of the old man who appeared before Menma and the others at this moment, and the task that extends from him is the Land of Waves plot that involves the famous demon Zabuza in the original work.

Logically speaking, this should be an A-level mission.

Even if you don't know there's a ruthless person like Zabuza Momochi, you should at least be classified as B. Unlike other mission rank distinctions, in the ninja system, the difference between C-rank and B-rank missions is truly worlds apart!

The criterion used here is whether other ninjas are involved in the mission.

If it has one, it's grade B or higher; otherwise, it's grade C or lower.

The reward offered by Tazner was barely at the C-level standard, and he himself only said that he was being targeted by the underworld.

The mission given by Konoha Village was naturally rated C.

A bunch of gangsters and thugs, let alone ninjas, could be easily swept away by a small contingent of national-level guards.

Of course, the ninja village wouldn't completely believe whatever their employer said.

I will still conduct my own basic research.

However, note that this is only a basic survey.

To provide some evidence of the authenticity of the tasks posted by the employer, it's impossible to investigate 100% of the information!

This is why some people can succeed in stealing a chicken, but it is only possible at the beginning. Because if the difficulty of the mission is completely different from the initial assessment, the ninja has the right to abandon the mission.

Compensation is certainly one aspect.

More importantly, under normal circumstances, the ninja who accepts the mission is only slightly better than the mission level. When the difficulty increases infinitely, they naturally lose the ability to complete the mission.

Abandoning the mission is the right thing to do.

In the original story, Tazuna was just really lucky.

They encountered Team 7, led by Kakashi!

otherwise.

If it were just an ordinary Chunin leading a Genin squad, let alone Zabuza, the two Oni brothers would have a very high chance of wiping out the squad that accepted the mission.

In this life.

"Take this first, we'll deal with the rest later!"

Mianma narrowed his eyes slightly, a different thought clearly emerging in his mind.

"I am the renowned bridge construction expert, Tazuna. Are you the ninjas who came to protect me?"

As soon as Tazuna entered, he looked at Kakashi, Menma, and the other four people sitting to the side with a scrutinizing gaze.

When Tazuna first saw that Menma and Naruto were just kids, his muscles seemed to tense up subconsciously. But the next second, when his gaze shifted to Kakashi, Tazuna relaxed.

As the employer who came to Konoha to issue the mission, Tazuna had some basic knowledge of the village.

Although he didn't know who Kakashi was, the fact that he was wearing Konoha's standard vest meant he must be at least a Chunin.

Tazna had no idea how terrifying the people who were about to ambush him were.

If they thought he was just an ordinary ninja hired by Gato, then the Chunin of Konoha should be able to protect them!

Tazner thought to himself silently.

"Hehe! That's right, old man, you don't need to worry at all. Our Seventh Squad will definitely protect you!"
