Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 11Prosperity

(I talked to the author backstage, and I actually helped to change the title of the book... Hehe, this way I won’t be complained about the title of the book~)

If a genocide accepts a task, he can only reach the level of D-level and C-level, but as a newcomer who has just become a genin, most of them still do some D-level. This kind of cumbersome task is cumbersome and requires patience, but it is suitable for training The heart of a teenager.

Even so, this step has a certain importance. During this period, it is a running-in period between a small team. The main purpose is to let the instructor Jonin have a clearer understanding of his members. Refers to strength, including personal character and some habits and shortcomings, so as to prevent subordinates from being in danger due to lack of tacit understanding in the future. This is Konoha's future, and naturally it should be taken seriously.

Asma is considered a relatively easy-to-get-along ninja, perhaps because of the influence given to him by his father, the ninja who is admired by ninjas including Konoha Village. One of Asma's guiding principles is to play the role of his subordinates. Personal strengths and talents, compared to Kakashi, can be said to be a very responsible superior.

This afternoon, after completing a D-level mission again, the three ninjas from Class [-], led by Asma, entered the Hokage Building to deliver the mission. There were some complaints about this tedious and boring D-level task, but Shikamaru, who is the core of this small team, often gave relief and explanations, and Choji and Ino knew how to measure, no better than Naruto.

Konoha's task delivery agency is located in a hall decorated with a brief introduction. As one of the five famous ninja villages, although this department is Konoha's face to the outside world, it does not need to learn from some small ninja villages, spending a lot of money , to decorate this place luxuriously, but there are also Konoha ninjas here to maintain order. Even the client will not allow noise and trouble. With the weight of Konoha, every client who enters here is mostly surrounded by the atmosphere. Shocked, but not unrestrained.

As a Hokage, it is naturally impossible to spend time in one department every day, but the growth of the younger generation is the most important thing in Konoha Village today. The three generations of Hokage are familiar with the tasks handed over by the third class of the newly promoted ninja. Today is On the day when the tenth class delivered the task, it was rare to come to the task delivery agency to work. Some clients were lucky enough to see Hokage, one of the "Five Kages", and felt honored. No one dared to despise this old man - ninjas represent mystery and power in the eyes of ordinary people.

When the tenth class entered the hall, the four immediately noticed the old man sitting in the middle of the desk, wearing a white hat symbolizing the head of Konoha Village with the word "fire" written on it.

As Hokage, he also came to the Ninja School to visit students several times, so Ino, Choji, and even Shikamaru have seen Sarutobi Hiruzen, but after all, he is a village headman. For him, it naturally has a deterrent effect—after all, not everyone has exaggerated rough nerves like Naruto—Ben seemed a little lazy, and the two quickly cheered up.

Sarutobi Asuma, as the guide Jonin, handed over the task delivery receipt signed with the name of the task entrusting person to the office staff, and this person handed it over to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hiruza Sarutobi looked at the word a written on the evaluation form, and nodded in satisfaction. With the competition among ninjas, he also developed many behaviors similar to the service industry in his previous life. This task evaluation is Refers to the client's satisfaction with the performance of the ninja during the mission, divided into four levels, a is the highest, which means excellent; b is good; c is passing; as for d, it represents dissatisfaction and disqualification, Ninja Village will give Ninjas warn and even punish. This evaluation basically only appears in D and C-level missions. This evaluation represents the failure of the mission. In advanced missions, most ninjas will die if they fail.

"Asma." In fact, after each ninja performs a mission, he must submit a mission overview as a record. If it is a team, it will naturally be written by the captain, but it is only a D-level mission, and the mission overview is nothing to read, ape Fei Ri Zhan just glanced at the task evaluation, and did not read the task overview written by Asma. He raised his head, tapped his pipe lightly, and after thinking about it, he said to Asma: "The tenth class is the nearest The evaluations of several D-level tasks are very good, I think, you can accept the C-level tasks."

After all, it is the No. 1 team in the Ninja class that passed the assessment. After several d-level tasks, the tenth class is actually enough to undertake higher-level tasks.

Ino and Choji who heard this on the side showed joy, even Shikamaru showed a faint smile, C-level missions, there will be battles, although the targets are basically ordinary people, it can be regarded as increasing actual combat experience, And most importantly, the purpose of this mission is probably to let this team try to kill people!In fact, the three newly promoted classes will inevitably have this kind of experience. In fact, the mission of the seventh class in the original book, the wave of the country, presumably also had this purpose at the beginning. Unfortunately, I don’t know whether it is good or bad luck.

Thinking of this, Shikamaru couldn't help turning his head to look at Asma, but he didn't expect the other party to look at him at this time. After his eyes met, Asma showed a slight smile, obviously understanding that Shikamaru had already thought of this joint.

Hiruza Sarutobi lowered his head and rummaged through the task list, finally selected a task, handed the task notice to Asma Sarutobi, took a deep look at Asma, and ordered: "The task is to capture a Fugitives, come here to gather before nine o'clock tomorrow, and the task entruster will come here later to explain the details of the task to you."

…………

After the four of them walked out of the office building, Asma waved to Ino and Choji, who were discussing excitedly, and said, "Choji, Ino, you two can go home and get ready, this mission will leave Konoha For a few days, you remember to bring all the ninja tools and clothes." Then he said to Shikamaru who was looking at him, "I have something to tell you, Shikamaru."

Shikamaru smiled at Ino and Choji, who looked a little strange, and said: "It's the first time to travel far away from the village. If you don't understand anything, you can ask your parents. I'll go first."

Although Ino and Choji were a little puzzled by Asma's behavior, they obediently went home and prepared items.

Asma and Shikamaru were walking on the street. It was the time when night fell slowly. The shops on the street were replaced with lanterns and hung at the door. There were more villagers wandering on the street, such as izakaya. The place to wait for dinner also began to become lively.

Although it is a village, in fact, with the prosperity and scale of Konoha Village, it is already comparable to a small town. Most of the resources in the village can be self-sufficient. This is a must, otherwise these will give spies an opportunity, Konoha So far, such as Yile Ramen, are actually handed down from generation to generation. They have been rooted in Konoha for many years. The so-called outsiders can join Konoha casually, and even become Konoha ninjas. Can Konoha make a hole in his own security system to accept his insecurity?Even if it is an outsider entrusted with a task, there is no reason to stay permanently. If there is suspicion, there will naturally be ninjas watching.

"It's so beautiful!" Asma, who had been silent all this time, looked at the streets with people coming and going, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in a low voice. After lighting a cigarette, she asked Shikamaru without looking back: "I believe you should understand The meaning of this mission, Shikamaru."

"A real ninja is not as beautiful as the role-playing games you played when you were young." Asma took a deep breath of a cigarette: "I'm not worried about you, Shikamaru, you have the size of a ninja, and I firmly believe that you will become a ninja who can be alone great ninja, but Ino and Choji are different."

"In your age group, you haven't experienced war, so you don't know, look," Asma pointed to the pedestrians on the street, and the familiar people greeted each other, and sometimes men walked into the izakaya in groups of three or four, Although the hustle and bustle was noisy, most of the people had happy smiles on their faces: "The war has just ended, and Muye Village has just begun to prosper, and the villagers have also escaped from the shadows. Smiling is the duty of our Konoha ninjas."

Asma looked directly into the eyes of the thoughtful Shikamaru: "In the past, you have always taken care of Choji and Ino, but in the future, Shikamaru, I don't want you to still have this attitude. A ninja should also have awareness."

"...I understand." Shikamaru replied blankly, saying that he was just because he was an adult in his previous life, while Choji and Ino were just children in his eyes, so he unconsciously supported him, but if he really He said that it would be impossible to take care of him like a nanny in the future. He didn't expect to be misunderstood by Asma and even taught him something, which made him a little depressed.

"That's good!" Seeing this, Asma smiled freely, not wanting to maintain the somewhat silent atmosphere, suddenly patted Shikamaru on the shoulder, leaned forward, and asked maliciously: "Actually, I really want to ask you , Shikamaru, we are going to fight tomorrow, are you nervous?"

"..."

(I will change the original rough outline during the daytime, and there will be big changes in the future, including ninjutsu and bento staff. In fact, from this period on, the extent of my changes has increased, and the old Readers tell me, after I finish my meal, I will write a chapter in the evening.)
