Chapter 196 New Mission
Danzo's matter was more like a complaint between friends. Jiraiya took a sip of wine and talked about business.
"Take a look at this." He handed Tsunade a document that looked quite formal.
Tsunade was often very impatient with things that had nothing to do with her, so she would usually leave this kind of text stuff to Shizune to deal with. But now she patiently read it for three seconds, then threw it aside.
"Just tell me what's written on it."
"The daimyo supported Danzo before. The document announcing my succession to the fifth generation was sent to the capital, and it seems that they didn't say anything. However, a few days ago, the magistrate sent a document stating that next year's budget will be the same as this year."
Tsunade pinched her ears: "So?"
Jiraiya shook his head helplessly: "The village was destroyed by Orochimaru this year, and we need to carry out large-scale reconstruction. The funeral of the three generations of old men and my succession ceremony cost a lot of money. The village's working capital is almost emptied. If next year's budget is the same as this year, then the operation of the village will definitely be in trouble."
When money was mentioned, Tsunade immediately perked up, her lazy temperament swept away, she covered her wallet and said, "I don't have any money!"
Jiraiya covered his forehead weakly and said, "Don't I know whether you have money or not?"
He raised a finger: "Little Ino over there"
Tsunade refused flatly: "No, my disciple's money is my money!"
Jiraiya waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, you misunderstood. What I meant is that Xiao Jingye is very capable of raising funds, and you have enough connections. You two can go out of the village and find a few scapegoats."
The next day, Ino found that the village had assigned her another A-level mission to assist Tsunade in raising funds for the village.
In fact, they are a small team, with Tsunade as the captain, and she, Shizune and Tun Tun as the team members, exactly four people. "Teacher, we want our village to raise funds by ourselves? What do you mean? We absolutely cannot agree to this! If the daimyo doesn't give us money, we will have a good argument with him." According to her understanding, this is all the business of the Fire Country daimyo. The ninja village is a mercenary army, and the daimyo supports this army. You don't pay, and you want us mercenaries to pay for ourselves? What a joke! If you don't want to do it, you can find a daimyo who is willing to do it.
Tsunade nodded like a chick pecking at rice, very satisfied with her disciple's attitude. This disciple became very excited when talking about money, so much like herself!
"Yeah. That's right, that's what I told the Fifth Generation as well." She then changed the subject: "The village sent a document to the capital to request an increase in the budget, but the efficiency of those bureaucrats is very low. Now it's almost the end of the year. If the village doesn't have money, the year-end celebration will be difficult to hold."
With the new Hokage taking the throne, there must be a new atmosphere, and the joyous environment can also wipe out the trauma caused by the previous Konoha collapse plan.
It just so happened that the village's current liquidity had basically been thrown into reconstruction, and the daimyo either "needed to do research" or "needed to spend time raising funds." The ninja village still had to abide by the rules, and they couldn't go to rob the capital in disguise, so the situation came to a standstill.
Tsunade knows a lot of suckers, Ino's ability to raise funds is obvious to all, Shizune's smile is very friendly, and Tuntun is cute, so their four-person "gold-making" team is officially formed.
When Ino heard that she didn't have to pay for it herself, she became much calmer.
Thinking about making money by using the village's name, she thought this mission was actually not bad?
Should we sell some of the gold buried deep in the desert? It doesn't matter who we sell it to. Selling it to Konoha would be a contribution to the construction of the village.
Ino came to the Hokage's office, logged into her ninja number, and checked the total number of missions she had.
7 D-level tasks, 3 C-level tasks, 2 B-level tasks, 2 A-level tasks, and 1 S-level task.
Completed all tasks at each level.
The S-rank mission was the previous Uchiha Itachi recovery mission, and the targets were two S-rank rebel ninjas. She had indeed fought against the two of them, and this mission needed to be kept strictly confidential, so she was recorded as an S-rank mission.
The village entrusted her with this task. Once the order was given, she had to go. Similarly, the village, as the client, had to pay.
She took away another 1 million taels from the already tight finances of the village. She felt very comfortable taking it and everyone thought it was normal. This was the rule of ninjas and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
S-level tasks are very valuable, but there are not too few of them, but there are also not too many of them either.
Taking the three ninjas as an example, among the three, Tsunade completed the least S-level tasks, with 95 completed times. Orochimaru was second, having completed 108 S-level tasks. Jiraiya completed the most, with 138 S-level tasks.
The reward for a mission is at least one million taels, with no upper limit. Most of the time he collects materials just for fun, and he also has a side job of writing books. You can imagine how rich he is!
The three ninjas did a lot of S-level missions, mainly because they lived in an era of war and were the absolute main force of that era, so they did a lot of hard work.
By the time of Kakashi, the number of S-level missions began to decrease. Kakashi, who was 27 years old this year, had only completed 42 S-level missions. Danzo believed that his "contribution" was not enough and he was not qualified to be Hokage.
Asuma has completed 20 S-level missions, and Hong has completed even fewer, only 13 times.
S-level missions are very valuable in the eyes of ninjas, and can greatly improve both actual income and reputation.
When choosing Hokage, one has to look at seniority, whether one is a direct descendant of the Hokage, and then one's "contribution". S-level and A-level tasks are important indicators.
Theoretically speaking, an S-level mission is considered a mission, and a D-level mission is also considered a mission. The reality is definitely different. Doing a thousand D-level missions is not as useful as doing ten S-level missions. After all, we are choosing a Hokage, not a pig farmer or a weeding expert.
Ino completed an S-rank mission, which further increased her fame.
Ninjas fought for the village during the Chunin Exams, and the village has an obligation to make them famous.
Today, Ino, Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru, and Shino are considered the four new rookies of the village, with Ino at the top.
Her previous bounty at the Gold Exchange was over 10 million, and now her reputation is growing. The enemies of the Yamanaka family will definitely not be stingy with money.
Seeing that she had completed the S-level mission, the white-legged senior sister was very envious. Shizune and Kakashi were classmates, but because she had been following Tsunade around, she had never done an S-level mission. She was a little excited in her words and actions, and kept muttering to herself.
