Chapter 58 D-level Mission
Xihihong whispered something to Asuma in a low voice. The six little ones didn't think it was convenient to hear and they all lowered their heads to eat meat.
Asuma initially shook his head, but at Yuhi Kurenai's insistence, he could only nod awkwardly.
He coughed, drawing everyone's attention to himself: "Hahahaha, there's one part I forgot to ask just now. Well, you all know me, I'm Asuma Sarutobi, and my dream is to understand the true meaning of jade. Now it's your turn, please introduce yourselves one by one."
He originally wanted to say "Everyone can just talk casually", but under Xihihong's gaze, he had to change his words and turned it into a very serious "self-introduction".
Ino had been waiting for this question. She quickly raised her right hand and said brightly, "I am Yamanaka Ino. My dream is to become an outstanding female ninja like Lady Tsunade!"
Shikamaru looked a little embarrassed. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he said casually, "I'm Nara Shikamaru. I don't have any dreams. I just want to marry an ordinary-looking woman and live a peaceful and stable life."
Asuma's smile was a little stiff, and he finally looked at Choji.
Choji scratched his face. What is his dream? Is there one? Probably not! "My name is Akimichi Choji, and I want to eat all kinds of delicious food? Does this count?" Seeing Asuma's half-smile, he quickly changed to a more correct statement among ninjas: "I want to work hard to train and become an excellent ninja, not allow anyone to insult my partners, and eat some delicious food during breaks?"
We have finished talking about Class 10, and now it’s Class 8.
Inuzuka Kiba was the most proactive: "I want to be Hokage!"
Ino smiled and nodded, "Young man, you will never be able to become Hokage in this life, the next life, or the next life after that!"
Aburame Shino thought for a moment and said, "I want to be a ninja that is noticed by others."
Finally it was Hinata's turn. The little girl hesitated for a long time and said hesitantly: "I hope to be brave, like Ino, hope to get the recognition of my father, hope..." I really didn't know what to say, so she summed it up: "I hope to become an excellent female ninja."
Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi looked at each other and both felt that this child had a clear understanding of herself. She indeed lacked courage and confidence. Compared with the confident Ino on the other side, her shortcomings were very obvious.
After the happy dinner, Class 10 was officially established.
Since you are a ninja of Konoha Village, you need to work. No matter whether you are from the ninja clan or a civilian, the job of a ninja is to perform various tasks.
Naruto picked up Jiraiya's passbook, and the string of coins on it dazzled Naruto's eyes. Did he really earn that much money from writing novels? The streets were full of skinny farmers with such a low literacy rate, how many people read books! Most of his money was saved from completing missions.
The division of tasks in the ninja world is quite clear.
The first is an S-level mission involving state secrets.
After that are A-level tasks concerning the ninja village and national trends.
A B-rank mission that requires ninjas to participate in combat, with a high chance of getting injured or even killed.
A C-rank mission where there is a possibility of injury during the mission.
And D-level missions that do not require combat and are not life-threatening.
Strictly speaking, Mizuki's matter can be considered a B-level mission, but this matter cannot be made public. Considering that Haiyi, Shikaku and others were there to protect the scene, the village gave each of them a C-level mission, and the reward was 50,000 taels per person.
The missions of Genin are basically D-level, and occasionally C-level missions are involved.
The Chunin will be involved in most C-rank missions and all B-rank missions.
The Jonins are very powerful and they are only responsible for A-level and S-level missions.
New ninjas like Ino can only take on those extremely trivial D-level missions at the beginning.
She didn't have any problem with that, a character with Orochimaru's style had done 16 D-rank missions, so what did she have to complain about?
Think of the scene of Orochimaru rolling up his sleeves, squatting on the ground weeding, feeding pigs, and picking up trash. Ino felt that she had no right to be pretentious! Just do your mission honestly!
As a result, the first task stumped her.
Weeding the farmland in the village! It sounds easy and looks easy, but seeing the worried farmer sighing, Ino felt that it was not that simple. She didn't think that a farmer who had been farming for a lifetime couldn't do weeding. The other party's expression seemed to indicate that there was something mysterious about this weeding task.
Shikamaru was also a person who thought three steps ahead. He stood by the farmland and observed carefully.
Shikamaru is not as cunning as them. In Fatty's opinion, as long as there are two smart people in the team and he uses his own energy, it is reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it. He even likes this mode of cooperation.
He rolled up his trousers and went to the fields to weed.
Two minutes later, "Ouch."
"Help, Shikamaru, please save me. Am I going to die?"
Shikamaru was lying in the mud, extremely weak, with fist-sized leeches crawling all over his back and thighs.
The stagnant water in the farmland was 20 to 30 centimeters high and full of leeches.
This is the main reason why the farmer issued the D-level mission.
Fatty Choji had a strong defense, and a few stabs from the kunai and a few kicks couldn't break his defense at all. Leeches were different, they sucked blood and made the fat guy look pale and weak, as if he would not live long.
Shikamaru values his best friend very much, and he said to Ino, "You take care of the water problem, and I'll treat Choji?"
The leeches on Choji's body are actually not difficult to deal with, all it takes is salt and fire, but looking at the densely packed mass of them, Ino still feels a little disgusted.
She thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
While Shikamaru went to look for salt, she stood by the farmland, carefully looking at the stagnant water in the field.
Water bombs definitely can't be used here. The mission is very clear: weeding, not destroying farmland! Once the water bombs are used, everything will be gone.
The real body stood at the edge of the field and let the shadow clone weed? That wouldn't work either. There were so many leeches here that the shadow clone would disappear after just a few sucks.
Asuma watched from afar and clearly had no intention of helping, so they had to complete this task on their own.
Ino walked around the farmland and soon found a low-lying area. After some calculations, she used earth escape to dig out a reservoir and a canal. Then she used water escape to lead the accumulated water in the farmland, along with all kinds of messy insects in it, into the reservoir.
By the time Shikamaru had gotten rid of all the leeches on Choji's body, she had almost completed the preliminary cleaning of the farmland.
After the biggest obstacle in the mission was removed, the remaining physical work was handed over to Shikamaru and Choji. As the sun was about to set, the two strong guys had not finished their work yet, so Ino had to go down to help.
