Naruto: My setting is above yours.

The three little ones followed, and Xuanma sensed something was wrong.

Is the first task going to be finding a pet or something?

Soon, the four of them arrived at a river.

Sakumo Hatake pointed to the river: "This is our first mission."

Yamashiro Aoba pushed up her sunglasses: "Teacher, you're not picking up trash, are you?"

Sakumo Hatake smiled and nodded: "As a recent graduate, I can only start with the lowest-level tasks."

"You can only take on a C-level mission after accumulating 10 D-level missions. This is the village's rule, and the teacher can't change it."

Xuanma sighed, "It seems the only way is to quickly resolve these 10 tasks!"

Shizune thought starting with a simple task was a good idea: "Then let's get started!"

Sakumo Hatake immediately pulled out several bags from his pocket.

After taking the bag, the three of them jumped onto the river. Shizune and Aoba Yamashiro immediately bent down and began picking up the trash.

Xuanma raised his hand and formed a hand seal: "At times like this, of course, more people means more strength!"

Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

bang bang bang~

Numerous shadow clones appeared on the river surface, and Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba looked up, dumbfounded.

In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by black horses.

"Begin, and finish this quickly!"

Xuanma shouted, and hundreds of shadow clones immediately shouted back, then scattered and began picking up trash.

Sakumo Hatake watched this scene from the shore with a smile, completely unsurprised.

As a result, the task that would normally take half a day to complete was finished in less than an hour.

After Genma and the other two got ashore, Hatake Sakumo smiled and said, "Well done."

"Next task: help organize the bookshelves in the library. Let's go!"

Xuanma and the other two exchanged glances and then set off to change locations.

They still used sheer numbers, and the battle was quickly resolved in half an hour.

Then move on to the next task.

Help people find their pets, and help farmers in villages near Konoha hunt wild boars that are damaging their farmland...

In just two days, Xuanma and his two companions completed all 10 D-level missions.

As the sun set, looking at the three slightly tired figures, Hatake Sakumo asked, "How are you? Can you still hold on?"

"I can rest tomorrow, and then take on a C-level mission."

Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba both turned to look at Genma.

They weren't actually that tired these past two days; it was Xuanma, who relied on sheer numbers, who was the most exhausted.

Facing their gazes, Genma smiled and said, "I'm perfectly fine. I'll be fully recovered after a good night's sleep."

He now possesses the power of the One-Tailed Beast, so of course there won't be any problems.

No, to be precise, his chakra reserves have surpassed those of Shukaku.

Over the past year, he has grown and developed, and with the influence of the Wood Release Chakra Mode, his chakra has also increased.

"Teacher, we have no problems either."

Mute and Yamashiro Aoba expressed their opinions.

Sakumo Hatake nodded: "In that case, let's meet in front of the Hokage Building at 9 a.m. tomorrow."

"You all need to prepare in advance, we're going to leave the village this time."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of Xuanma and the other two lit up, and they immediately became more expectant.

This was their first time traveling far from their village.

……

After the team disbanded, Genma escorted Shizune home together.

Upon entering, the two saw Tsunade sitting on the veranda, leaning against a pillar. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, giving her a unique, hazy beauty, tinged with a touch of inexplicable sadness.

At that moment, Genma's heart fluttered intensely.

Shizune paused for a moment, then looked worried and whispered, "Lady Tsunade may be thinking of her deceased brother."

Xuanma nodded subconsciously.

How can someone who has lost all their loved ones not feel grief?

Comfort?

How should I persuade them?

Did you also lose all your relatives?

How can you talk about empathy and understanding when you're still alive?

Genma sighed inwardly, realizing that if he tried to persuade Tsunade with his words, he would appear particularly weak, arrogant, and condescending.

"Let's go."

He pulled the mute button and stepped forward.

Startled from her reverie, Tsunade immediately composed herself, adopting a lazy expression: "The mission ended so early today?"

Jingyin said, "It's all thanks to Xuanma's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

Tsunade glanced at Genma and scoffed, "So we're going on a C-rank mission tomorrow?"

Shizune nodded, then looked at Tsunade with some concern: "Yes, Lady Tsunade, Sakumo-sensei said we're leaving the village this time, so..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tsunade waved her hand and said, "I know, go on!"

"You are the ones who need to be taken care of."

With her arms crossed over her chest, Tsunade looked down at the two kids: "Although it's a C-rank mission, we usually won't encounter any ninjas."

"But this is not absolute, so don't be careless."

Genma and Shizune nodded obediently.

Tsunade continued, "Also, although Sakumo-senpai is very strong, you should never think of relying on him completely."

"Any dangerous situation may arise during the mission, so you need to rely on yourselves more."

Shizune nodded immediately: "Yes, Lady Tsunade!"

Xuanma also said, "We will make full preparations."

Tsunade realized she had made the atmosphere a bit tense, so she laughed and said, "Let's make a bet before we leave!"

Xuanma's lips twitched.

Wow, that changed way too fast!

Shizune was also a bit speechless, and then whispered her advice: "Lady Tsunade, it seems like you've never beaten Genma even once!"

Tsunade said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, we'll definitely win this time."

"And don't worry about me not being able to afford it."

I'm worried I'll lose!

Xuanma muttered to himself.

What if we lose? Wouldn't someone die?

Chapter 27 is presented (please continue reading)

Faced with Tsunade's eagerness, Genma firmly refused to gamble with drugs, citing an upcoming mission, and then ran away in a flash.

However, he soon reappeared on the wall and shouted at Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, you must train hard while I'm not around, otherwise, even in your strongest area, you'll lose to me."

"Next time we come back, let's have a strength contest!"

They provoked us and then ran away; this time they really did run away.

Because Tsunade's roar shook the earth.

That brat is too arrogant!

How dare you claim to be stronger than yourself?

They are utterly ignorant and arrogant!

Tsunade was furious, her fists pounding. If Shizune hadn't been holding her back, she would have smashed the pillar with one punch.

"Damn it, when he gets back, we're going to give him a good beating!"

Tsunade, holding a grudge, then said to Shizune, "Shizune, I'm giving you a task: observe him closely and write down all his information for me!"

Shizune blinked innocently: "Lady Tsunade, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Tsunade snorted and said matter-of-factly, "This is a basic quality of a ninja."

"That's the decision!"

……

Xuanma was unaware that he had a little spy by his side.

When I got home, I went into the bathroom, soaked in the bathtub, and then focused my attention on the [settings set].

This class assignment did not bring him any expected results.

In the original timeline, the Jonin who guided Yamashiro Aoba and Shizune was definitely not their teacher, Hatake Sakumo.

However, upon closer examination, it's possible that Sakumo Hatake, as the Jonin leading the team, could not change the fate of Aoba Yamashiro and Shizune.

Shizune is a medical ninja.
