I, Yhwach, join the chat group

"Go practice, don't waste time!"

"Ah."

The next day.

Team 7 gathered at the Hokage Building, ready to find Sarutobi Hiruzen to receive a more advanced mission.

But unexpectedly, Kakashi saw a white-haired man in the office.

Uchiha Sasuke felt a chill in his heart. He was no longer the same person he was some time ago. Since meeting Qin Yang, his strength has been increasing rapidly, and his judgment of a person's strength has improved a lot.

The white-haired man who appeared in the Hokage's office was very powerful!

"Jiraiya-sama?"

Kakashi was stunned.

"Kakashi," Jiraiya glanced back at him and greeted him with a smile, "Just got back today. I heard a lot has happened in the village?"

As he spoke, he looked at Uzumaki Naruto, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Chapter 407 The Country of Waves

The time was taken away, and the Jinchūriki himself died at once.

But Uzumaki Naruto was obviously not dead. According to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, after that night, Uzumaki Naruto was still alive and well the next day as if nothing had happened.

With this doubt in mind, Jiraiya looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a questioning look.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, took a puff of his cigarette, and then said, "This is very strange. There's still a small amount of Nine-Tails chakra left in Naruto's body, and judging by the seal, it seems to be intact..."

How could the seal be intact? !

Jiraiya's eyes widened, a little confused. If the seal was intact, how did the Nine-Tailed Fox get out?

Perhaps understanding Jiraiya's feelings at the moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said, "The one who liberated the Nine-Tails obviously possesses very advanced ninjutsu."

"It's not a question of how good the ninjutsu is. Could it be that after that person broke the seal, he re-imposed the Bagua Seal on Naruto?" Jiraiya couldn't help but say.

Sarutobi Hiruzen still shook his head, obviously really didn't understand.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Kakashi didn't say anything, and Uchiha Sasuke's eyes flickered, obviously he thought of something.

Only Uzumaki Naruto held the back of his head and muttered, "What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. Compared to this, we should be assigned more important tasks, such as babysitting children, shopping, collecting sweet potatoes, and retrieving pet cats. I don't want this kind of mission anymore!"

"what……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, his expression filled with helplessness, "Listen carefully, Naruto. The ninjas in the village, including me, are generally divided into four levels: Kage, Jonin, Chunin, and Genin. Missions are assigned by our superiors to qualified ninjas."

Tasks are divided into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D.

The only missions that Genin can do are C-rank and D-rank.

·Chunin is B-rank and C-rank.

Jonin is A-rank and level.

"The development of a ninja village requires funds, and clients will entrust certain tasks to the village, which will then assign them to suitable ninjas. This is related to the stability and safety of the village. Therefore, when assigning tasks, novices can only start with the simplest ones."

Sarutobi Hiruzen patiently explained that Naruto had recently suffered a great disaster and he was indeed a little hesitant about whether he should give him a more advanced task.

"What levels were the missions I completed before?" asked Uzumaki Naruto.

"D-level..." Kakashi said from the side.

"It's the lowest level, can you give us a C-level mission?"

Uzumaki Naruto roared excitedly...

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a stack of commissions from his desk and flipped through them for a moment before saying, "I see. Then I'll give you a C-rank mission! Go and protect someone!"

Who is it? Who is it? Is it the daimyo or the princess?

·冫

Uzumaki Naruto cheered and asked with a smile on his face.

"He's a master bridge builder. Escort him to the Land of Waves. He's waiting for you in the hall below. You'll see him once you go down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen then looked at Kakashi and said, "If it's a C-rank mission, there won't be much danger. You won't encounter any hostile ninjas. Kakashi, I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

Kakashi nodded, and immediately raised his right hand and slammed the knife down on Naruto's forehead, "Let's go, noisy brat."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Uzumaki Naruto was full of excitement and didn't care about being beaten.

Uchiha Sasuke said nothing, but deep down, he was still a little happy that he could leave the village!

Immediately, a group of four people left the office Q.

As soon as they left, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became serious again, "Jiraiya, even though you just came back, I still want to ask you for a favor."

"Protect Naruto?"

As if he understood the third generation's profound meaning, Jiraiya nodded in understanding.

"That's right, follow them secretly. I suspect Naruto has been targeted." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, "By now, other countries should have received the news. This time when Naruto leaves the village, he might encounter ninjas from other countries!"

Whether it's to confirm the intelligence or for the other five major countries that know that the Nine-Tailed Fox has broken the seal, they must take action.

The fact that Uzumaki Naruto is Konoha's Jinchuriki has never been a secret, except for Uzumaki Naruto himself who doesn't know it.

"Also, that mysterious man that Naruto came into contact with that night... maybe we can find out where he is!"

"I see. That's why I came back to check it out."

Jiraiya thought about it and said, "Actually, before I came back, I met a mysterious guy. It's incredible to say it, but that guy... seems to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"Wha...what?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned.

……

Konoha, Hokage Rock.

Qin Yang stood on the head of the first Hokage and looked out at the entire village.

"Sure enough, it's a mission from the Land of Waves. It seems that a little butterfly like me can't change the course of history."

Qin Yang chuckled and said to himself, "However, the enemies in the Land of Waves this time are not as strong as Zabuza. Ninjas from the five major countries and the Akatsuki organization will all show up. Hehehe... With Kakashi and Jiraiya, I wonder if they can protect them well?"

The five major countries are easy to understand. Since they know that the Nine-Tails has broken the seal, they will definitely send spies to confirm the information. It is normal for Uzumaki Naruto, as the Jinchūriki, to be targeted.

The Akatsuki organization, the purpose of this group of guys has always been that the tailed beasts know that the Nine-Tails has regained its freedom, and if they want to find it, they will definitely target Uzumaki Naruto. Of course, no one knows who and which members will be dispatched.

"I'll also send an avatar there. Something interesting should happen."

Thinking of this, Qin Yang's mind moved, and a white light projected from his chest, quickly transforming into a human figure 927.

"Ainz Ooal Gown!"

……

On the same day, on the other side.

In the Land of Fire, on a mountain path somewhere, three men and women wearing black robes with red clouds were walking slowly.

The three of them walked slowly, as if no matter what happened, they were in no hurry.

"I say, this silence is boring. Say something, Itachi?"

The man with the big knife on his back, with sharp teeth, couldn't help but say at this moment: "Are we going to Konoha?"

"Confirm the information." Uchiha Itachi said calmly: "Since the Nine-Tails has escaped, then the first thing to confirm this is of course to find the Jinchūriki."

Off to the side, the only female voice listed.

"No need to go to Konoha. I got intelligence that the target has left the village and seems to be on a mission. His destination is Wave Country. We can just intercept him outside. This is much safer than invading Konoha."

As he spoke, a paper crane flew back and landed on the back of Xiaonan's hand.

"Here comes the copy ninja Kakashi."

"Kakashi with the Sharingan?" The swordsman grinned. "Itachi, I wonder how that guy's Sharingan compares to yours?"

However, Uchiha Itachi completely ignored him, as if he was a piece of ice, giving off the aura of not wanting to talk.

The three of them chatted casually and slowly headed towards Konoha, no, towards the Land of Waves.

Chapter 408 Falling into darkness

The man was an old man, wearing a conical hat, with dead eyes and reeking of alcohol.

"What's going on? The guys Konoha sent to protect me are all brats. They don't seem trustworthy at all."

The old man took a sip, burped, and then he started yelling and complaining.

"I am the renowned bridge-building master, Dazna of the Land of Waves. You ninjas, you must protect me until I reach the Land of Waves and finish building the bridge. Do you understand?"

"What? Such a condescending tone!?"

Haruno Sakura was complaining madly in her heart.

Uzumaki Naruto adjusted the ninja forehead protector on his head and said loudly: "Do you see clearly? This is the ninja forehead protector given to me by teacher Iruka himself. I am a ninja! Don't worry, old man. I, Uzumaki Naruto, will protect you. You don't have to worry at all!"

"Shorty guy, you are the most unreliable one." Dazna glanced at him and sneered.

"...I'm going to kill him!" Uzumaki Naruto was furious.

Kakashi punched him and said, "This is a protected object, idiot. Stop talking nonsense and go."

The group set off with a lot of noise.

Uzumaki Naruto muttered angrily: "Old man, remember this, I am Uzumaki Naruto, a superb ninja who will inherit the title of Hokage sooner or later!"

"I wouldn't, brat, even if you did become Hokage."

"Sakura, stop pulling me, I'm really going to kill him!"

"Shut up, idiot Naruto!"

Haruno Sakura rolled her eyes and punched him hard.

This time, Uzumaki Mingren became much more obedient.
