Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

Thinking of this, he lay down on the bed with peace of mind and fell into a comfortable dream.

He was not clear at this time, it was just not long ago today.

The so-called protagonist in his heart, who he was sure of, had changed unconsciously due to his time travel.

And the decisive battle, which he thought would take at least 40 years, would be brought forward because of this...

Nothing happened that night, and it was the next morning.

The four members of Class 7 gathered again in front of the mission collection point.

But this time, except for Kagura, the other three were yawning with tired looks on their faces.

It seemed like they all tried their best to practice yesterday.

Looking at the appearances of the people in front of him, Kagura sighed again.

Shrugging his shoulders, he, as the captain, walked up to the staff and asked about today's mission.

The front desk clerk looked up at them and said:

“Oh, it’s the people from Class 7 this year.

You don't need to accept the mission here today. You can go directly to the Hokage Building later.

Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen has a mission for you."

Hearing this, several people looked at each other in confusion.

I didn't hear Sarutobi-sensei talk about this yesterday.

Seeing everyone's confusion, the staff member smiled and said:

“Oh, this was arranged on short notice this morning.

Go quickly, Lord Sarutobi has been waiting there for a long time."

Hearing this, they stopped asking questions and quickly walked towards the Hokage Building.

In the office of the Hokage building, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled as he looked at his four favorite students.

In fact, in another week, he will officially take office as the third Hokage, and his work has been getting busier and busier recently.

This also meant that he had almost no time to lead these students in carrying out their tasks.

But fortunately, I heard from others that these four people have recently completed their assigned tasks perfectly.

This makes me, as their teacher, very satisfied.

He threw the mission scroll in his hand in front of Kagura who was standing in the front, and signaled Kagura to open it with his eyes.

Kagura untied the string on the scroll and began to examine it carefully, while Sarutobi Hiruzen explained:

“This time you are going to take a B-level mission, which requires you to carry out the mission outside the village.

And, I will be the leader this time!"

Chapter 12 The World Outside the Village

After carefully reading the mission introduction on the scroll, Uchiha Kagura frowned.

The mission is simple, which is to protect a wealthy businessman to the Land of Whirlpools.

In terms of the reward and difficulty of the task, there is really no problem with it being a B-level task.

The question is why Sarutobi Hiruzen led the team personally.

Even if he didn't need to ask specifically, he knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen would officially take over the position of the third Hokage soon.

At such a critical time, is a B-rank mission worthy of a Hokage to carry out personally?

Even if the reason is to take care of one's own students, it is not justifiable.

After handing the completed mission scroll to the three people behind him, Kagura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him without hiding her confusion.

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood Kagura's question at a glance.

He said directly:

"I will be officially announced as the Hokage next week, and the reason why I am going to the Land of Whirlpools with you this time is precisely for this reason."

Are you going to Whirlpool Country because you are about to become Hokage?

After a moment's thought, Kagura instantly understood what Sarutobi-sensei meant.

During the time of Hashirama Senju, the Land of Whirlpools was a loyal ally of the Land of Fire.

Among them, the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan have been cooperating many times since the Warring States Period.

When Hashirama Senju was capturing the tailed beasts, it was the great elder of the Uzumaki clan who helped him seal the tailed beasts he captured.

Otherwise, how could Hashirama Senju successfully sell this unstable power to the major ninja villages later.

Later, in order to better control the Nine-Tails, Uzumaki Mito, the wife of the first Hokage, took the initiative to sacrifice herself and became the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

At this point, it is only natural for Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is about to become Hokage, to go on a mission to the Land of Whirlpools.

This is just like the blue planet where Kagura originally lived. Generally, newly appointed national leaders always need to visit friendly countries as soon as possible to show their friendly attitude.

As for why he went before becoming Hokage instead of after taking office?

Unlike the era in which Naruto lived, the current situation is still in a state of chaos.

Although a ceasefire agreement was signed between the villages, undercurrents were still surging underneath.

If there is a chance to kill a shadow-level person, I believe many people will choose to try.

The second generation Tobirama died because of this.

Therefore, going to the Land of Whirlpools as the Hokage and going to the Land of Whirlpools as Sarutobi Hiruzen himself have completely different meanings.

To put it bluntly, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen died on the road, it would not have been a big blow to Konoha's morale.

Seeing Kagura's expression of instant understanding, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction.

Tsunade and Orochimaru, who were behind, watched the mission and hesitated for a moment before understanding its meaning.

Only Jiraiya, scratching the back of his head with one hand, said naively:

"Sensei, what does your becoming the Hokage have to do with going on missions with us?"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said confidently:

“I understand, you’re worried that after you become Hokage, you won’t be able to go out with us anymore.

So this time, you specially accompanied us on one last field mission before taking up your post, right? "

After saying this, he looked at the teacher complacently, as if he was expecting the teacher's praise.

Sarutobi Hiruzen curled the corners of his mouth, but finally took back the curse he was about to say.

He turned his head and looked to the side and instructed everyone:

“Okay, go back and pack up, and gather at the village gate at noon.

We will set out at noon today."

The dazzling sun was hanging in the middle of the sky. At the gate of Konoha Village, four people who were well prepared had been waiting there in advance.

Kagura was wearing a combat uniform similar to that of a Jonin, except that she was wearing a purple vest and had a black backpack on her back.

At this moment, he was hiding under the shade of a tree with the others, kicking stones out of boredom.

Like him, the other three also had a backpack in their outfits.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. After a moment, the figures of Sarutobi Hiruzen and another person gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

The person following behind Sarutobi Sensei was the target they needed to protect this time.

The image of this man completely fits Kagura's imagination of the word wealthy businessman.

He was wearing a purple silk coat that looked expensive. The slightly tight clothes made his fat figure more prominent.

At this moment, he was wiping the sweat from his head with a handkerchief, and it was obvious that he was very hot.

Seeing the four people, the rich businessman was stunned.

Then he smiled kindly and nodded to everyone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a brief introduction to the customers, then turned to the wealthy businessman and said politely:

“Mr. Fuchuan, time is urgent.

Thank you for your hard work along the way."

Then, without waiting for Fuchuan's response, he said to everyone:

"set off!"

As the team started to set off, a hint of excitement appeared on Kagura's face.

In addition to the fact that this was the first time he had left the village since crossing over, it was also because of the task prompt he had received from the system not long ago:

“Mission: Complete a B-level mission.

Mission Reward: You can randomly draw a ninjutsu and learn it. "

Ever since he drew the skill of Kotoamatsukami last time, he has been looking forward to what kind of heaven-defying ninjutsu he can draw from the system next time.

Like Kagura, Tsunade and others were also leaving the village for the first time.

Along the way, they were full of curiosity about everything around them.

After walking for a long time along the designated road, they finally walked out of the woods outside the village.

Some human villages gradually appeared along the way.

But unlike Konoha Village, most of these villages look very dilapidated.

Most of the villagers walking in the area were dressed in rags, with numbness in their eyes, doing their work like zombies.

Seeing this, the crowd, who seemed slightly excited at first, gradually fell silent.

Feeling that the atmosphere in the team had grown cold, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke up:

“The days of peace were too short.
