And just as Kaoru and his group had just walked into the room, they also met Team 7 led by Kakashi.
"Kaoru, are you also here to hand in a mission?!" Seeing Kaoru, Sakura immediately rushed up to greet him.
"Yeah....." Kaoru nodded, then looked at Kakashi and his group. Sasuke was still expressionless, and Naruto was dejected, with several scratches on his face, while still tightly holding a cat.
"Looks like you guys had a cat-catching mission, Naruto even got scratched by the cat." Wan'er stepped forward, smiling, and pointed to Naruto's face
"Tch, small problem!" Naruto said with a smile.
"Yo, both of your teams have come for a mission, huh." In the room, the Third Hokage sat behind a long table and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Wan'er shouted first, "Third Grandpa, please give us a tough mission this time, I don't want to be so bored anymore."
"That's right, Third Grandpa! I also want to carry out a tough mission!" Naruto also shouted like this, constantly praising Wan'er's idea.
"Hey, you're just students who have just graduated from the ninja academy, you can only accept D-rank missions!" The Third Hokage said with a frown.
He saw that Wan'er and Naruto both looked unconvinced, then coughed lightly twice, and spoke again: "It seems I need to tell you about our Konoha Village's mission receiving rules, first, in order to....."
"Hey, Naruto, what are you planning to eat for lunch today?" Wan'er asked.
"Lunch today, huh? Let's eat tonkotsu ramen!" Naruto answered after thinking for a moment.
"Hey, don't deliberately ignore my words!" The Third Hokage, seeing Naruto and Wan'er chatting as if no one else was around, immediately shouted angrily.
"Sorry, sorry, Hokage-sama!" Kaoru gently patted Wan'er's head and Naruto's head, and said.
"Sigh, well, these young people are always so full of energy, in that case, I'll arrange for both of your squads to carry out a C-rank escort mission." The Third Hokage gave a wry smile, then flipped through the mission list.
"They're just students who have just graduated after all, if I'm arranging a C-rank mission, it should be the kind with no threat, just a mission to do for show....."
The Third Hokage thought this, while carefully selecting a mission.
"Hmm, it looks like escorting the bridge-building expert from the Land of Waves is the only mission available ah....." The Third Hokage said, looking at the mission list.
"Ha, okay okay, give this mission to our Team 8, Hokage-sama!" Hearing the Third Hokage say this, Wan'er immediately spoke, wanting to snatch the mission.
"N-No, give it to our Team 7, Hokage-sama!" Naruto also said quickly.
"Naruto, how dare you try to steal a mission from your boss!" Wan'er put her hands on her hips, looking displeased at Naruto.
"Wan'er-boss, sorry, this mission is Team 7's!" Naruto also said, unwilling to admit defeat. ..
"The bridge-building expert from the Land of Waves, if it's that mission, we'll probably run into Zabuza ah, that would be a bit troublesome......"
Kaoru thought to himself. He certainly wasn't afraid of Zabuza, but this was a troublesome mission that could be avoided if possible.
Thinking of this, Kaoru said: "Um, Hokage-sama, since the people from Team 7 are so proactive, let's just give this mission to them."
"Oh?" The Third Hokage raised an eyebrow, thinking that Kaoru had learned to be lazy.
"No, Onii-chan, why should we give it to them?!" Wan'er shouted.
"Yeah, Kaoru-sensei, this is a chance, we can't just give up like this!" Inuzuka Kiba also said.
"You, as the teacher, don't want the trouble, but your students are pretty motivated, huh." The Third Hokage said with a smile, then looked at Kakashi: "Kakashi, what about your team?"
"Everything is as Hokage-sama arranges." Kakashi said.
"Very good!" The Third Hokage nodded, tapped the table lightly with his pipe, then said in a deep voice: "In that case, both of your teams will go together!"
"Ah? Go together?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right, carry out this mission together, but the reward will only be split in half!" The Third Hokage said.
He thought this arrangement was very suitable, taking into account the enthusiasm of both teams of students, and this kind of low-risk C-rank escort mission was just for the students to see the world a bit.
Unfortunately, the Third Hokage didn't know that the person they were supposed to protect was hiding the truth, and with Kaoru's involvement, this matter would become far more thorny......
"Okay, agreed!"
"Finally, we're going to carry out a tough mission!"
Wan'er, Naruto, Inuzuka Kiba all jumped up happily, they didn't care about going together, as long as they had a tough mission to do.
The person they had to protect was a bridge-building expert from the Land of Waves, named Tazuna, who was a drunken old man who was always drinking.
The two sides met each other, Tazuna complained a few times, feeling unhappy that most of his guards were kids, but that was that, he didn't say much, who told him to pay so little, this time he could be considered to have gotten a bargain, having two teams protect him.
And just as they had walked out of Konoha Village, a white-haired man walked out of an alley at the village entrance, he was about twenty years old, wearing round-framed glasses, looking refined and cultured, Kaoru and the other four set off first, he followed them out of the village.
It was Kabuto Yakushi, who had been lying in wait in Konoha Village for many years.
As before, he didn't go to follow Kaoru and his group, but headed in another direction in the forest.
Before long, he stopped before a swamp, this swamp presented a brownish-black color, looking extremely disgusting.
"Come out, I have new information for Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto said, pushing up his glasses.
As soon as he finished speaking, the mud in the swamp began to churn, then a yellow-spotted python poked its head out of the swamp, this snake only showed its head, you couldn't see its body.
"Kabuto Yakushi, you must be careful, Orochimaru's day of attack is coming soon, you must not be discovered by the others in Konoha at this crucial juncture." The snake spat out its tongue, and spoke coldly.
"Of course I know that." Kabuto smiled, "But this information is extremely important, Orochimaru-sama will definitely be very interested."
"Speak." The snake head said.
"The former Uchiha Kaoru has always been in Anbu, unfortunately my reach wasn't long enough, I couldn't get information from Anbu, but now in order to teach his younger sister he has become a Jōnin in charge, actively leaving Anbu, and he has also accepted a mission to escort a bridge-building expert to the Land of Waves."
