Whether the ninja world is in chaos or not, I, Naruto, have the final say

"Or have you developed a completely new trump card—"

It seems that he was quite upset yesterday.

"What's the secret technique of turning into a toad? This is called Sage Mode, Sage!"

Naruto was shocked: "I know what you want to say, there is no immortal who looks like a toad, right? Then you are wrong! First of all, let's define what "immortal" is, and we have to start with the history of Myoboku Mountain..."

Sasuke: “?”

What are you in such a hurry for?

Who asked you about this?

Seeing how excited he was, he was likely to talk nonstop for a while, so Sasuke had to interrupt him: "I'm asking, have you learned any new ninjutsu?"

Naruto reacted: "Oh, you mean that, the B-rank Wind Style Ninjutsu Vacuum Blade, which can use the kunai as a sword, which is quite convenient."

B-level wind-style ninjutsu?

Upon hearing this, Sasuke suddenly lost interest.

Just pay more attention next time when you practice.

Seeing that the topic was about to go off topic, Kakashi quickly changed the subject, took out three mission notices, and said, "Here, these are your missions for today."

"D-rank mission, clearing the river, the reward is 3000 ryo, the village takes half, which is 1500 ryo, and I'm your team leader so I have to take half, the remaining 750 ryo you can divide among yourselves."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were met with three pairs of dead eyes.

Naruto: "Seriously?"

Sasuke: "Boring."

Sakura: "Teacher Kakashi, my internship salary at the hospital is higher than this."

The white-haired dead fish's eyes were sweating, they were indeed right.

Being a ninja is a high-paying profession. After becoming a master, you can earn thousands of taels for a D-level mission, and tens of thousands of taels for a C-level mission...

But newly graduated Genin are not included in this list.

We have given you a team leader at the Jonin level. This is an opportunity for most Genin teams. Isn't it normal that the mission reward is a little lower?

But obviously, this does not apply to Class 7.

"Ah this... this this this..."

"I've already accepted the mission..."

Kakashi stood there scratching his head, regretting that he shouldn't have chosen a mission at random yesterday. It would be a shame if Team 7 was not sent out to carry out a C-rank mission.

What? B-rank and A-rank missions?

That's not what a genin should be thinking.

"This is easy!"

Naruto used the Shadow Clone Technique without saying a word.

Four shadow clones appeared at the same place.

Huang Mao said: "Let them take care of the D-level missions."

Upon hearing this, the four shadow clones looked at each other.

Shadow Clone A: "...I have no objection."

Shadow Clone B: "Don't sleep too deeply at night."

Before the remaining two shadow clones could say anything, Naruto simply grabbed the collars of the four of them and threw them out one by one like stones on water.

Kakashi: "..."

It’s not impossible to use a shadow clone as a substitute.

At least there is precedent for this.

As long as you can complete the task, the village won't say anything.

------

At noon, in the Hokage's office lobby.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the yellow-haired shadow clone put the team 7's task list for today on his desk, indicating that the mission was accomplished.

"I said..."

"Although D-rank missions are simple and boring, they are at least a way to develop team tacit understanding. Using shadow clones as a substitute is simply..."

The four shadow clones blinked and looked away.

I listened to the main point, but I didn’t accept it.

"But yes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stamped the task list and said, "It's a waste of your talents to ask you to do a D-level mission. Besides, thanks to you, Konoha now has many missions, and there are really missions suitable for you guys..."

He took out the list of C-level tasks and looked through them one by one.

"Eliminate bandits, dig tunnels, escort merchants, capture the wanted criminals of the Land of Fire..."

There were too many C-level missions and he was too lazy to talk about them.

Put this thing directly in front of Naruto.

"Choose the one you think is suitable." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

I searched for a while but didn't see the original Wave Kingdom mission. It seems that it's not time yet...

He asked, "Are there no B-level missions?"

Many of the D-level and C-level tasks were not difficult enough to trigger the system's options; so he would naturally focus on more advanced tasks.

"Let's talk about it after you become a Chunin."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "You know that there are only D-level and C-level missions suitable for Genin to perform. I am making an exception by allowing you to take C-level missions."

The shadow clone looked for a long time, then pointed to a task.

“Tunneling is good.”

"The new ninjutsu that I've practiced is just perfect for this purpose."

"Will there be tunnel professionals watching over it?"

“Why would the village want to dig a tunnel?”

The four shadow clones started chattering.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, "It was your idea! Why don't you just do business instead of talking about ninjas? I tried it a few times and it can indeed improve the economy of Konoha Village a little bit."

In fact, it is much more than that.

His discovery as the Hokage mobilized the potential of the entire Konoha Village and used the power of the ninja to make money, which was faster than robbing money!

In order to make Konoha's economy prosperous, the village had to build roads over and over again, spreading in all directions towards the Land of Fire.

The bandits in the green forest must also be actively and repeatedly cleared out.

All for a good business environment.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from the six years of planning. In the past few years, it was even a loss-making business, but he still risked his reputation as Hokage and carried out the project under pressure.

In short, there are a lot of tasks like digging tunnels and opening up mountain roads in Konoha Village now; the characteristics are heavy workload, but not dangerous.

So for the past month, Class 7 has been stuck here.

The three of them spent at least half of their time studying or practicing.

The remaining half of the day is spent on those dead things.

Sakura's strange strength, Naruto's wind jutsu, and Sasuke's Susanoo can both hammer and move...

After a few months, Naruto's Wind Style: Vacuum Blade has improved a lot.

With just a few cuts, a rock can be cut into a cube.

Kakashi muttered in his heart: This kid's wind escape skills are almost as good as Asuma's...

On this day, Class 7 came to choose tasks again.

Naruto just picked up a 'mudslide removal' mission sheet.

"That's enough." Sasuke, who was itching to practice, stopped him and said, "Pick a mission where you can fight the enemy."

Naruto said, "Okay then."

The focus was on the elimination and escort missions.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows.

In the escort mission column, it clearly states: Protect Dazna until the bridge building in Wave Country is completed - mission deadline is 20 days.

He picked up the task sheet and asked, "How about this?"

Kakashi didn't care: "I have no objection."

Sasuke nodded, "Okay."

Only Sakura was extremely excited: "Let's take it! As long as it doesn't break the stone!"

Chapter 80 Arrival at the Land of Waves

The Wave Country mission was the first C-rank mission carried out by Team 7 in the original novel, and its content was to protect Dazna and build a bridge.

Such an ordinary mission first involved the two Chunins of the Demon Brothers, and then an elite Jonin like Zabuza Momochi appeared, which made the difficulty of the mission soar to A-level.

A-level tasks are perfect for training.

Putting aside the fact that the client lied about the level of the mission, Cardo, the culprit of the Wave Country, is one of the richest men in the ninja world, and the first pot of gold for the protagonists in all the fan novels.

Now that it has appeared, how can we let it go?

"That's it!" Naruto made up his mind.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't ask any more questions and stamped the document quickly.

Then, he called out to the white-haired dead fish-eye man and said, "Wait a minute Kakashi, since you have finally made a trip to the Land of Waves, you can take on this mission for me..."

He took out the task list.

Kakashi took it and looked at it: B-level: Inspection of trade conditions with the Land of Waves.

"Hokage-sama, I remember that Wave Country is a very poor country." Kakashi reminded: "Is it necessary for Konoha to trade with them?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "That's why we need to investigate! The reasons for their poverty, the attitudes of the nobles and daimyo, as well as the rare resources and economic potential... You know what to do."

Kakashi reluctantly accepted the task.

Since six years ago, the atmosphere in Konoha has been gradually changing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Hokage is seeking reforms, allowing many ninjas to go from passively accepting missions to actively making money...

The company suffered losses in previous years, but has now turned losses into profits.

Nowadays, the tasks issued from within the village are already on par with the tasks commissioned from outside the village.

For example, in a mission like this that involves traveling to another country, the ninja who goes there will have to take on an additional investigation mission, just like me now.

Kakashi took over the mission, and Naruto saw it all... Could it be said that it was because of his influence that the situation finally became different from the original work?

He walked up to Sarutobi Hiruzen and whispered, "Grandpa Hokage, I'm already proficient in the Vacuum Blade. Can you teach me a new ninjutsu?"

The latter took out the vacuum wave scroll and placed it on the table without saying a word.

Naruto picked up the scroll, confused: "Old Deng, aren't you going to check it out?"

If you ask for ninjutsu, call me grandpa, and if you take away the ninjutsu, call me Lao Deng, right?

Sarutobi Hiruzen's blood pressure is...normal.

After all, I'm used to it.

He thought to himself that just because he had failed to keep the secret of the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki's identity, he deserved to be called "old man" by this yellow-haired man for the rest of his life.

"As for your cultivation, I don't need to worry about you."
