Chapter 42 The first mission
The next day, after the four people gathered at the agreed place, Jiraiya was indeed late again.
"Jiraiya-sensei, did you oversleep again?" Uchiha En said with complaint.
"Nonsense, you brat, I'm here to test your patience, patience, do you understand? You are really wasting my good intentions." Jiraiya looked distressed at Uchiha En's complaints. .
However, in this regard, the team members looked at Jiraiya's performance with expressions that would be strange to believe.
"Ahem, today is our first mission. Hokage-sama has already told me the mission in detail. Let's talk about it on the way." Seeing that he couldn't pretend anymore, Jiraiya had to change the topic.
Afterwards, several people also left the Konoha Ninja Village.
Only halfway through did Jiraiya throw out a mission scroll.
After Minato took it, he opened it, and several other people came over one after another.
I saw the mission scroll saying: Clear out thieves, wandering ninjas in the Country of Fire, and ninjas sent by other countries to cause trouble in the Country of Fire.
Mission time: 4 years
Mission level: A level
? ? ? ? ? ?
After reading the contents of the mission scroll, several people were filled with questions.
"No, Jiraiya-sensei, are you sure that the content above is true? Hokage-sama sent a few of us genin who just graduated from the ninja school to carry out such a difficult task?" At this time, Aangji was shocked.
Therefore, he emphasized his tone when talking about "just graduated" and "genin".
"Yes, Mr. Jiraiya, did you accidentally take the wrong mission scroll that Hokage-sama gave you?" Uchiha Enya asked weakly.
"Or maybe you overslept yesterday and are you kidding us now?" Uzumaki Kushina also complained.
Even Minato was looking at his teacher with suspicion.
"Hey, hey, what are you looking at? I specifically applied to Hokage-sama for this task based on your strength. With your strength, will it be helpful for you to complete ordinary D-level and C-level tasks?" Jiraiya looked at the four little ones in front of him with an expression that looked out for you.
The few people thought for a while and had to admit that what Jiraiya said made sense.
Ordinary D-level and C-level missions are basically for ninja trials of genin strength.
Although they are now genin, their real strength far exceeds that of chuunin.
Those ordinary tasks are just a waste of time for them.
The four people just couldn't accept this huge gap all of a sudden.
It was agreed that the genin could only perform D-level and C-level missions, but now they were directly given a large number of tasks. After graduation, the first mission was A-level, so I asked who else?
No wonder it was said in the previous life that Konoha's jounin were performing simple tasks, chunin were performing difficult tasks, and genin were performing nightmare tasks.
"Sure enough, I love you, I love you, this is the treatment of genin in Konoha." Aangji sighed helplessly in his heart.
The genin legend of Konoha begins with their generation!
Now that the mission has been handed down, the four members of Aangji's team can only accept it.
It is impossible to run back to Konoha now, find the Third Hokage, and then tell him that this task is too difficult and we can't complete it. You should always find a Jonin team to complete it.
If this is the case, it is estimated that not only the top management of Konoha, but even the Hyuga clan clan will give up on cultivating him.
Aangji has been trained by the clan in the past few years, otherwise how could he possibly keep up with Namikaze Minato with Jiraiya behind him in terms of strength.
"Then let's set off, but I have to remind you that I will not take action unless I encounter special circumstances. This is a training for you guys. If I take action, the nature will change." Jilai Ye Lao Shen Zai Zai once again threw a bomb.
However, a few people even accepted A-level missions, so it was not difficult for them to accept Jiraiya's actions.
In the following days, a few people wandered around the Land of Fire, basically wherever they went, with no specific goals at all.
Mainly, the scope of this mission description is too broad, covering the entire Kingdom of Fire.
Even if they included Jiraiya, there were only five of them. If they wanted to clean up the entire Fire Country, they would not even think about it within a few years.
No, they just cleaned up a gang of thieves.
Cangji and the others have cleared out 8 of these small gangs in this month, if not 10.
These people were basically all because of the outbreak of the Ninja World War, and then they first changed from good citizens to thugs, and then from thugs to bandits, making a living by robbing families and homes.
During this period, even if they encountered a few stray ninjas, they were basically genin strong, and Aangji and the others could easily deal with them.
"A-level missions seem to be just like this. It's so boring." After successfully solving a wandering ninja, Uchiha En's arrogance emerged again.
"En, don't be careless. This is an A-level mission after all. There is a high chance that we will encounter elite jounin from other villages." Minato reminded Uchiha En.
Over the past month, Uchiha En was cautious at first and went all out, but now he doesn't take the A-level mission seriously at all.
Cangji and the others couldn't say much.
First of all, it is true that they have not encountered any powerful ninja recently, which caused Uchiha En's tail to be raised.
Secondly and most importantly, when Uchiha En killed a thief for the first time, he was actually stimulated to awaken the two Magatama's Sharingan!
Aangji really didn't expect at the time that this seemingly arrogant guy would be so fragile inside that even ordinary thieves wouldn't dare to kill him.
You must know that after Uchiha En killed the thief, as the Sharingan changed from a single magatama to a double magatama, he was so stimulated that he passed out.
It took a day and a night to wake up from the coma, for which he was laughed at by Kushina Uzumaki.
This may be the reason why many people are not used to killing someone for the first time.
Aoji and Minato had already teamed up to kill one Kumogakure jounin and maim two more when Uzumaki Kushina was kidnapped two years ago.
Uzumaki Kushina personally experienced the destruction of her country at a young age.
Therefore, killing people during missions is not stressful at all for them.
Only Uchiha En, this can be said to be his first murder experience.
What's more, the Uchiha clan itself is full of emotions, and Aangji and the others understand this.
The gap between paper talk and reality is vividly reflected in Uchiha En.
And as Uchiha En awakened the Second Magatama Sharingan, his strength has also improved a lot, and now he is no longer weaker than Uzumaki Kushina.
After experiencing the first murderous coma, Uchiha Yan later began to get used to it. Ninjas must experience the baptism of blood before they can grow.
However, he didn't expect that Uchiha En would become more and more arrogant later on, and now he no longer took this A-level mission seriously.
This kid will definitely suffer a big loss. This is the common thought of several people, but they did not say it out loud.
Because even if they told Uchiha En at this time, he probably wouldn't listen.
Because the Uchiha clan is such a stubborn person, the kind who never look back until they hit a wall!
From Uchiha Madara to Uchiha Sasuke in the future, they all have this character.
"Okay, let's take a rest first. I just got some important news from a thief." Jiraiya clapped his hands and called a few people over.
"Teacher, is there any news about other ninjas in the Ninja Village?" Minato asked.
"Well, according to one of the thieves I interrogated just now, when he went to collect herbs in the valley northwest of the village a while ago, he was definitely sure that there were signs of human habitation there. However, when he went to look for it, he found nothing. ." Jiraiya told the information he had learned.
"Is there anything strange about this? Doesn't it prove that someone has lived there before?" Uchiha Yan, as the stupidest one among them, asked the question.
"How stupid. Being able to avoid the detection of a thief and not killing the thief doesn't look like the style of a wandering ninja." Uzumaki Kushina habitually criticized Uchiha En.
This sentence also succeeded in making Uchiha grin in anger, but the core mission of their team is to protect Uzumaki Kushina, and of course he cannot fight with her.
"The operation is so secretive, and ordinary thieves are not killed casually to avoid alerting others. This cannot be achieved without a certain degree of discipline." Aangji also analyzed with a glint in his eyes.
"There is only one possibility for doing this. They are ninjas sent by the other four major ninja villages to cause trouble in the Country of Fire. Killing ordinary thieves may not only attract attention, but also help the Country of Fire to quell the chaos. They will not So stupid!" Minato made his final judgment.
"Well, your analysis is all good. Well, Xiao Yanzi, you just need to work harder, otherwise you will appear to be special every time." Jiraiya first praised the other three, and then used a slightly regretful look in his eyes. Looking at Uchiha En said.
"Jiraiya-sensei, can you please stop calling me little Enzi? It sounds really awkward." Uchiha En expressed his protest.
"Huh? Then I'll call you Yan boy." Jiraiya agreed to Uchiha Yan's request with a smile.
Does that make a difference?
Uchiha En wanted to continue resisting, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Who knows what more unpleasant nickname Jiraiya will call him later.
The others watched all this while holding back their laughter.
"What to do next, you can analyze it yourself, I won't ask any more questions." Then Jiraiya ran into the thieves' village, found some wine that the thieves had stolen, and drank it happily.
This attitude made it clear that Aangji and the others were allowed to figure it out on their own, and he would never interfere.
"No, Mr. Jiraiya, you are facing ninjas from the other four great ninja villages this time. There are probably elite jounin among them. Do you really just ignore it?" Aangji was the first to stand up and confront him. Laiya protested against his laziness.
"Oji Aoi, with the strength of the few of you, even the elite jounin should be able to deal with it together. Even I suffered a big loss at that time. You must have confidence in yourselves." Jiraiya is still looking after himself. While drinking some wine, he expressed his high recognition of Aangji and the others.
Is it a question of confidence?
If this is not done well, if the opponent has a powerful ninja present, they may lose their lives at any time.
But there was no way, since Jiraiya had already made up his mind, there was nothing they could do to force him to change his attitude.
"Then let's all discuss the battle plan." Minato took out a map of the Fire Country and said to several people.
This map they bought from a small vendor during their journey was not very detailed, but it happened to have coordinates nearby.
Looking at the detailed information of the valley depicted on the map, several people began to discuss it.
The final battle plan they made was to first let Uchiha En, who had two Magatama Sharingan eyes, take the lead to attract the enemy's attention, and then let Aangji use his Byakugan to observe the valley and record the locations of all enemies in detail.
Then Aangji told Minato this information and asked Minato to go up and assist Uchiha En.
Aangji is responsible for dealing with the enemies hidden in the dark.
Uzumaki Kushina is responsible for guarding the entrance of the valley to prevent the enemy from escaping.
This is only a tentative plan at the moment. As for the specifics, if something unexpected happens, we can only adapt to the situation at that time.
After discussing the plan, they were ready to take a good rest and wait until tomorrow to go to the valley to perform the mission. After all, it was almost dark.
