Konoha: Starting from the Duel Arena

I practiced alone in the training ground for a long time.

The consequence is that he has two big dark circles around his eyes.

"Flying Thunder God is really useful."

Yuuki Aomi grumbled, got up from the bed and stretched his body.

He put the five remaining iridescent stones on the desk into his pocket and walked towards the gathering place.

He didn't care about it before, but now that he knows the importance of the Fantasy Stone, he always feels unsafe keeping it at home.

When they arrived at the meeting place, Minato and Uchiha Haru had already arrived and were waiting for him and Jiraiya.

Minato was a little used to seeing the dark circles under Yuuki Aomizu's eyes, and said helplessly: "Where were you yesterday? Why did you turn into a giant panda again?"

Yuuki Aomizu yawned, looking listless: "I was practicing ninjutsu yesterday, I can beat you up again then."

Watergate:"!!!"

"What words! What words are this!"

When Minato heard this, he was like a kitten whose tail was stepped on. He jumped up and said, "I will never be beaten by you again!"

"No one understands your ninjutsu better than me!"

"And I have already mastered a little bit of the Flying Thunder God Technique. I will be able to master it soon!"

Minato said, looking very proud, "Once I learn Flying Thunder God, it will be time to switch between offense and defense!"

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Aomizu smiled but said nothing.

It would take you several years to master Flying Thunder God, even if you are Minato Namikaze.

And in the past few years, the gap between you and me has only grown bigger!

"Give it up, Minato!"

"Impossible, Qingshui!"

Uchiha Qing rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "Here we go again."

He said this, but still glanced at Minato warily.

Is this guy trying to steal my man?

It seems I need to be more careful next time.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Qing took out the lunch box that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Yuuki Aomizu.

"Here, this is the rice ball I made last night."

Yuuki Aomizu glanced at the pink, girlish lunch box in his hand and smiled at Uchiha Haru.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qing."

Uchiha Qing just shook his head, "As long as you like it."

As she spoke, she showed a sweet smile.

Minato watched this scene thoughtfully.

"What Haiyi said is indeed right!"

"The cold goddess in your eyes is petite and cute in front of others."

Yuuki Aomizu found a random place to sit down and glanced at Minato. This guy hasn't caught up with Kushina yet.

My arrival made Minato's personality a little different from that in the original work.

The originally serious little sun has now become a little silly.

Yuuki Aomizu hadn't finished eating yet, and Jiraiya came over with a piece of bread in his mouth.

When he saw three people, he waved and said hello.

"Morning, my disciples!"

"Today is another day full of energy!"

"Let's... uh..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the dark circles under Yuuki Aomizu's eyes, and he was choked with the rest of his words.

"Young man, you still need to have a good rest." Jiraiya glanced at Uchiha Qing and said meaningfully: "Otherwise you will suffer in the future."

"I just stayed up late developing ninjutsu..." Yuuki Aomizu explained weakly.

"Develop ninjutsu?" Jiraiya was stunned and touched his hedgehog head.

"Then you should also take care of your health."

As he spoke, he took out a small scroll from his arms and changed the subject, saying, "This is your mission today. Find Aunt Fukada's pet cat."

"Huh?" Minato was stunned, "Looking for a pet cat?"

"That's right." Jiraiya tore open the bread bag and took a bite.

"Looking for mission targets is also a part of a ninja's life."

"Follow the clues, find the opponent's traces, and kill them. This is a ninja!"

"Ninjas are essentially tools, and everything is for the sake of the mission." Jiraiya said this with a serious expression.

It was as if he was a serious and strict traditional ninja.

"Teacher Jiraiya, stop pretending." Yuuki Aomizu said speechlessly, "Everyone in Konoha knows that you are not serious."

"Besides, you look really ugly when you pretend like this."

The two words "very ugly" from Yuuki Aomizu hit Jiraiya's heart hard, causing a million-ton critical hit.

"Damn you brat!"

"Don't interrupt your elders' instructions!"

Jiraiya wanted to go over and punch him in the head, but when he saw the dark circles around Yuuki Aomizu's eyes, he thought better of it.

"Anyway, your mission today is to find this stray cat and bring it back intact."

After saying that, Jiraiya disappeared instantly.

Looking at the lunch box in his hand, Yuuki Aomizu sighed.

“I really don’t know how long this will last.”

"It should take a few months." Uchiha Qing sat next to him and said calmly: "I asked the ninjas in the clan yesterday, and they said that carrying out this kind of mission is to make us familiar with the tasks between ninjas."

"It can also improve the tacit understanding between the teams, and train ninja intelligence search, suffering ability, etc."

Yuuki Aomi quickly finished his rice ball, stood up and stretched his body, "Let's go, we have something to look for today."

Yuuki Aomizu spread out the scroll left by Jiraiya, looking for key clues.

"White and yellow fur, white limbs, wearing a blue coat..."

After reciting the characteristics of the cat, Minato suggested, "How about we split up and meet here every hour?"

"Okay." Uchiha Qing nodded.

Yuuki Aomizu naturally had no objection. After all, it was best to search separately.

Konoha is very large, and there is a forest made of Wood Release plants around it. In this situation, it is actually very difficult to find a cat.

Yuuki Aomizu keeps traveling through Konoha looking for clues.

But he found no clues.

Ninja school has not taught this yet, and he and Minato are both of commoner origin.

He wandered around aimlessly the whole day, until dusk, when Uchiha Haru appeared at the training ground carrying a dirty kitten, and Yuuki Aomizu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so tired. I've been looking for a whole day." Yuuki Aomi held the back of his head with both hands. Minato walked beside him carrying the kitten and said helplessly: "The two of us didn't help at all today."

"If it weren't for Qing, we probably wouldn't have been able to complete this mission."

As she spoke, she gave Uchiha Haru a thumbs up, showing her white teeth, "As expected of a genius girl of the Uchiha clan!"

“It’s just amazing.”

Uchiha Qing just glanced at him, and formed seals with his hands to summon a black cat.

Uchiha Qing handed the newly bought dried fish to the black cat and rubbed its head.

"You've worked hard today. I'll buy you some dried fish in a few days."

"Meow~~" the black cat called out, picked up the bag of dried fish, and immediately canceled the spiritual communication and left.

Minato: "......"

Chapter 53 Destroy the Bandits

Three months later.

"It's so annoying!" Yuuki Aomizu covered his nose and put the last piece of garbage into the bag, looking like he had lost all hope in life.

"Stop complaining." Minato frowned and tore open the garbage bag with both hands. He clamped his nose with a clip to try to prevent the stench from entering his nasal cavity.

Uchiha Qing silently pinched his nose and used a net to scoop up the debris in the water. "After this task is completed, we can rest for two days."

"Okay." Yuuki Aomizu jumped from the stinky ditch to the ground, clapped his hands, and sniffed the smell on his body with disgust.

"Ugh~"

"If you do this kind of mission again, I will arrange a shadow clone!"

Yuuki Aomizu said indignantly.

There was a previous mission like this, where he used Shadow Clone but was beaten by Jiraiya. He even said that he was just cheating and that he would be prohibited from using Shadow Clone in future missions.

"Hahaha!" Jiraiya put his hands on his hips, dropped from the sky, and landed heavily on the ground. He always appeared when Yuki, Aomi and the other two completed their tasks, and his appearance was extremely exaggerated.

"Very good, in these three months, you have not failed a single mission!"

"I declare that you have passed!"

Jiraiya said as he gave the three of them a thumbs up. He learned this gesture from Minato, and it was obvious from whom Minato learned it.

Hearing his words, Yuuki, Aomi and the other two looked at him excitedly. Could it be that they finally didn't have to carry out such a disgusting mission?

When Jiraiya saw the looks of the three people, he stepped back calmly to avoid being contaminated by the stench of the sewer.

Then he coughed lightly and said, "In view of your good performance over the past three months, I have decided to take you out of the village to carry out the mission!"

"Go back and get ready, we'll set off tomorrow!"

"Okay!" x3

Yuuki Aomizu was a little excited at this time. Finally, was he going to start his real mission?

During these three months, I was either catching cats and dogs or cleaning rivers and helping people with chores.

People are going crazy.

The three of them looked at each other, and Minato quickly threw the garbage bag in his hand into the trash can in the distance, and asked excitedly: "Teacher Jiraiya, what mission are we going to carry out this time?!"

When Minato said this, his voice couldn't help but rise several degrees, which shows how excited he was.

Jiraiya, who was originally disgusted by the stench here and was about to leave immediately, chuckled when he heard this.

"There is a group of bandits on the main road of the Land of Fire. Your mission is to eliminate these bandits."

Jiraiya smiled mysteriously and said, "You'd better not eat too much in the next few days."

"See you tomorrow!"

After saying that, Jiraiya instantly walked away into the distance.

"Eliminate the bandits?"

Yuuki Aomi scratched his head. He originally thought it was just an escort mission, but it turned out to be an annihilation of bandits at the beginning.

From catching cats and dogs to killing people, the span seems a bit exaggerated, right?

Yuuki Aomizu thought silently in his heart, but after looking at Uchiha Haru and Minato, he knew he was overthinking.

Uchiha Haru didn't do anything, but Minato seemed a little excited.
