Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 14 Yile Ramen

"The mission is to escort Mr. Cheka and his merchandise. Please take a look at the power of attorney."

Tetsuya stepped forward to take it.

The content of the power of attorney is nothing unusual. It describes the principal's situation, their responsibilities, destination, etc.

Cheka is a businessman who is transporting a cart of valuable spices from the Kingdom of Wind, worth millions.

Tetsuya looked at Hong and asked the teacher's opinion with his eyes.

Hong just nodded and said nothing more.

"Third generation sir, we accept this commission."

Tetsuya said on behalf of his teammates and teachers, and then introduced himself to Chika:
"Konoha Genin Yamanaka Tetsuya, they are my companions and guiding jounin, please take care of me along the way!"

"You're welcome, I also want to thank Konoha for taking care of me for a long time, so that my business can prosper."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Tetsuya couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher Hong, do merchants issue escort missions like this to all major ninja villages?"

"Yes, this is normal." Hong nodded and explained: "Especially when transporting more valuable goods, the entrustment will be issued to the Ninja Village. Basically, our presence can ensure the greatest degree of safety."

The Cheka obviously did not dislike the fact that the genin who had just graduated from the unreliable genin class who accepted the mission did not like Dazuna. One reason was because of the presence of Kurenai Yuhi, the jounin, and the other reason was that most of the security that merchants needed It's not the ninja who accepts the mission, but the powerful deterrence of the ninja village behind the ninja.

Enemies are rarely encountered on this kind of escort mission, and among the few enemies they are basically ordinary bandits and bandits.

The protection of Konoha ninjas can prevent most troubles.

Of course there are exceptions, but the chances are very small.

Zheya silently considered in his mind, would there be any surprises in this mission?Their journey was within the Kingdom of Fire until they reached the seaside. As long as they put this batch of goods on the ship bound for the Kingdom of Water, it would be a happy ending. No matter how you think about it, it was quite simple.

Of course, the accident he was thinking of was definitely not encountering a highway bandit who was not afraid of death.

To put it more seriously, it is possible to encounter a powerful rebel ninja, or even a BOSS such as Orochimaru or the Akatsuki organization, because this is in line with the development of the story, right?A story that is not thrilling enough but dull is not up to standard.

"Okay, the mission won't start until tomorrow. To celebrate your first C-level mission in your ninja career, the teacher will treat you to a nice meal!"

Hong led them to Yile Ramen, and found that Kakashi's seventh class had already occupied most of the chairs, not enough for four people to sit down.

The daughter of Yile's boss, Changpu, hurriedly moved out a table and stools, fearing that the business would be lost.

Kakashi, probably in order not to reveal his appearance, just watched Naruto slurping ramen, which was rare without making out with him.

Tetsuya pushed Hinata to sit next to Naruto, and then sat in the remaining seats with Shino:
"Uncle Ichiraku, three bowls of ramen, you can decide what you want to add. Teacher Hong, you're welcome to treat me!"

Naruto paused at this time:
"Kakashi-sensei! Look, why do we have to pay for ramen ourselves?"

Sakura, who was disgusted with Naruto's ugly eating appearance, rolled her eyes and turned her attention to Sasuke on her left. She found that he was mechanically destroying the food in the bowl with a stinking face, and she felt excited in her heart:
"It would be great if I could sit here and eat ramen with Sasuke every day!"

Kakashi, who just sat down in front of Kurenai, said impatiently:
"Next time, teacher, I am also very short of money."

Zhe also laughed secretly when he heard it. It was a joke that Jonin was short of money. In the end, he paid out more than 7 yuan in rewards for his two b-level missions, which was enough for at least two months of normal rent for the big house he was renting now, let alone a Level task rewards.

Even if Kakashi has been in the Anbu for a long time and may have received a dead salary, it must be a huge salary.

Seeing Hinata's head lowering lower and lower and her face getting redder and redder because of Naruto's presence, Tetsuya sighed secretly:
"Big brother, this is the only way I can help you!"

"Naruto!"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Naruto, who was working hard, raised his head and looked over.

"Hinata may be here for the first time, and she doesn't know what ramen to eat. I heard that Naruto, you are a regular customer of Ichiraku Ramen. Please recommend it to her."

"Oh! This is easy!"

When it comes to recommending his favorite things to others, Naruto’s enthusiasm is no less than when he mentioned Hokage Dream, and he started a long speech like a few treasures:
"My favorite Ichiraku ramen is the pork cutlet and tonkotsu ramen. If you come here for the first time, you must try it. Others such as salt, soy sauce, miso, fish and shellfish all depend on your personal preference. I eat them all. I’ve tried it and liked them all. As for the side dishes.”

He talked on and on for a long time, but found that Hinata kept her head down and didn't respond, which was a bit strange:
"Hinata?"

When she heard Naruto calling her name, Hinata raised her head subconsciously, and then fainted decisively when she faced Naruto's face staring at her.

"Hinata!"

Tetsuya quietly pushed Hinata onto the overwhelmed Naruto.

Naruto had to catch Hinata who was falling down, and looked at Tetsuya in confusion:

"What's wrong with Hinata?"

Sakura realized something was wrong and asked:
"what happened?"

"I don't know why she fainted suddenly."

"Idiot! Take her outside to a cool place and let her get some fresh air."

As expected of a top student with a solid theoretical foundation, compared to Naruto who didn't know what to do, Sakura immediately thought of the methods taught in school for dealing with heat stroke coma, and began to command Naruto.

Seeing how nervous Naruto was, Sakura ordered Hinata to put Hinata on a bench by the roadside, and kept fanning her with the fan she borrowed from Uncle Ichiraku. Tetsuya suppressed his laughter and tried to pretend to be worried. Sakura came back and asked:
"Is Hinata okay?"

Sakura looked at him suspiciously, but didn't say anything:
"It should be fine. Just let Naruto fan her. It should be fine."

When the ramen ordered by Tetsuya was brought to him, Naruto's voice sounded again outside:
"Hinata, are you awake?"

"Huh? Hinata? Hinata! Talk!"

"Why did you faint again!"

In short, Naruto's meal of Ichiraku Ramen today was not very satisfying.

"Aren't you going to see her?"

Kakashi was paying attention to the movements of his disciples, watching Sakura talking to Sasuke one-sidedly, watching Naruto shaking his fan desperately with sweat on his forehead, and then looking at Kurenai who was blowing on the ramen and said.

"Don't worry, this is an old problem Hinata."

Hong obviously knows his three disciples well enough, Wu Dao.

"I heard that you received your first C-level mission? It seems that the Third Generation has a high opinion of Class [-]."

"You are very well-informed."

Kurenai said, taking a sip of ramen first, and then continued:
"It's probably because most of the recent D-level missions have been snatched up by the newbies, and now there is a clear cooperation logic between my three disciples. It may be a little early to execute the C-level mission, but it can't be said that it's completely Inappropriate."

"Really, because of Tetsuya Yamanaka?"

Hong nodded:

"In terms of overall strength, he is the strongest among the three. These days of cooperation have gradually formed a tacit understanding of actions with him as the main leader. Of course, these low-level tasks cannot explain the problem to a great extent, but it is better than It is much better to have no core at all and everyone to work independently.”

Kakashi nodded, somewhat envious of Kurenai's Class [-].

Hinata and Shino's personalities determine that this tacit relationship can be formed quickly. Coupled with Tetsuya's own relatively excellent strength and mind, everything falls into place.On the other hand, in Team [-], Sasuke is undoubtedly the strongest, but his own isolation and competitiveness with Naruto make it difficult for the team to successfully form a similar relationship.

He also thought of many ways to do this, but unfortunately the results were not good.

Perhaps the only way to reconcile the conflicts between the two is through a real crisis, but that is a risky approach and is not advisable.
