Uchiha crawling out of the cemetery

9 Escort

After that, for four consecutive months, catching cats, walking dogs and taking care of children, pulling weeds, planting trees and digging sweet potatoes, Class No.11 did all the groceries in Konoha, especially catching cats, catching seven times in four months. Seven times it was the same cat.

Looking at the cat that was held in the arms of the hostess, Ryosuke really wanted to persuade the woman to let it go, at least it was a life.

"Not bad, the speed of finding my beloved little tiger is getting faster and faster." The woman took out a stack of money in satisfaction.

"Let's go." The woman patted the cat's head, holding it back to its hell-like home after failing to escape.

"Every time I see that cat, I feel very pitiful." Yuuto wiped his sweat.

"If you have time to pity it, it's better to pity yourself." Yayoi said angrily, "Should we dig sweet potatoes or deliver the letter this afternoon?"

"Why don't you send a letter, so you can stop by and eat the tempura on South Street." Ryosuke suggested.

"Squad [-] was able to accept the escort mission a month ago, when will we stop doing these chores." Yuuto complained.

"According to the number of completed D-level tasks, we can already accept C-level tasks." Ryosuke gave the two of them a look, and the three of them looked at Aoba pitifully at the same time.

To be honest, Ryosuke is no less irritable than the two of them. It has been a month since Sasuke went to the country of Nami, and Konoha is about to usher in the Chunin exam, and then Sasuke defected. This series of events requires strength to ensure safety .

D-level missions don’t need to be done every day, Ryosuke has plenty of time to train, and Aoba will occasionally give guidance, but it can’t compare to going out to practice and improve quickly, no matter how solid the foundation is, it’s not as good as a real battle.

Under the eyes of the three, Aoba's face trembled slightly, and he thought to himself that he was a bit too much. Other classes who graduated from the same grade began to try advanced tasks, and only his class was still doing D-level tasks.

"Teacher Aoba..."

Yayoi's eyes were full of tears, and she was about to cry, making those who heard it feel sad and those who saw it weep.

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, based on your foundation, you can try to get in touch with C-level tasks."

There was a black thread hanging on Aoba's forehead, those who didn't know thought he had done something bad to the little girl.

"Great!" Yuuto waved his arms excitedly, Ryosuke and Yayoi also smiled.

"Don't be too happy." Aoba poured a pot of cold water: "You can only accept relatively simple tasks, and if you fail, I will continue to let you do D-level tasks."

"No problem, we will definitely complete it smoothly." Yuuto said confidently.

"Follow me to choose the mission." Aoba said.

"Yes."

After a simple selection, Aoba chose a task with a low pay, which was to escort wealthy businessmen from the village to the Temple of Fire to fulfill their vows. The scope was still in the Land of Fire, and the escort was not an important person, so the difficulty and reward were relatively low.

"We will notify the client to go to the gate of the village in an hour."

"Well, please."

Aoba led a few people away from the mission entrustment office.

"It will take more than half a month to go back and forth, you go back and say hello to your family first." Qingye said.

"We'll be right back." Yuuto and Yayoi quickly ran towards the house.

There are only two people left in front of the entrustment office. Aoba doesn't need to tell anyone to perform the task, but Ryosuke has no one to tell.

Looking at Ryosuke who was depressed, Aoba felt a little stuffy in his chest.

The companions all have parents, but Ryosuke is alone. Although he usually doesn’t care, seeing the scene of his companion rushing home must make him feel uncomfortable. As a teacher, Aoba really wants to help, but he doesn’t know where to start .

"Teacher..." Ryosuke raised his head slowly.

"Come on, no matter what you want to say, I will do my duty as a teacher to comfort you." Aoba met Ryosuke's eyes and thought in his heart.

"Mr. Qingye, it's the first time you go out to perform a mission. Parents must have a lot to say to their children, right?"

The smile on the corner of Ryosuke's mouth was extremely forced in Aoba's eyes.

"Ugh."

Aoba sighed, and reached out to put his hand on Liangjie's head, but the other's next sentence made him freeze in midair.

"Then let's go eat. I've been hungry since just now. What do you think we should eat? There should be enough time for a barbecue, or just eat a bowl of ramen." Ryosuke said distressed.

"Huh?" Qingye opened his mouth, and choked out a sentence for a long time: "You haven't spoken since just now, are you thinking about what to have for lunch?"

"Ah, what else?" Ryosuke asked strangely.

"Boom."

Aoba clutched her chest, forcibly suppressing the urge to vomit blood: "Eat... let's eat ramen."

Ryosuke was surprised by Aoba's abnormal behavior, but he didn't think too much about it. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't think of the Uchiha extermination from Aoba's behavior.

After a brief lunch, and squatting at the village gate to count ants, Yuuto and Yayoi came to the agreed place one by one.

"Before carrying out the task, let me introduce the client's situation." Aoba said.

"The client, Masaki Nanda, was a wealthy businessman in the Land of Fire before, and later moved to live in Konoha. This time, he is going to the Temple of Fire to fulfill his vow. The task is very simple, so don't put too much pressure on it."

"The Temple of Fire is only a few days away from Konoha, so there is no need to spend money to hire a ninja team to protect it?" Yuuto asked.

"It is said that someone told Mr. Nantian that it is not suitable to go out these days, but he wished sooner rather than later, so he hired a ninja team to protect his safety. This little money is nothing to him." Aoba said.

"Is this the rich man?" Yuuto received ten thousand points of damage.

"It's a good deal to trade money for safety." Ryosuke agreed.

Looking at Ryosuke who was full of approval, Yuuto felt that he was hurt even more. The master who could easily buy three detonating charms when he was a student is also a rich man.

"Yuto, how is your ninjutsu training?" Aoba suddenly asked.

"It's...not bad." Yuuto looked aside in embarrassment.

"I will assess you on the way, if you fail to meet the requirements, the amount of training will be doubled in the future." Aoba moaned.

"No way." Yuuto sat on the ground distraught, the excitement of performing a C-level mission for the first time was completely gone.

"Yayoi's chakra mastery is very good. I'll find a medical ninja to teach you when I come back." Aoba praised, Yayoi's talent is very good, if he can receive systematic training, he may become an excellent medical ninja.

Since the student is talented, Aoba will do his best to help. Having been on the battlefield, he clearly understands the importance of medical ninjas.

"Thank you teacher." Yayoi said with a grin.

"And Ryosuke, I suggest that you don't rush to cultivate the second type of chakra, and focus on the fire escape for the time being." Aoba always pays attention to the training situation of the students, he knows very well what Ryosuke is training recently.

"Understood." Ryosuke agreed, but whether to listen or not is another question.

"Tap tap..."

A chubby man walked up and down, and Aoba who heard the footsteps hurried up to meet him.

"Mr. Nantian, I am the leader of Class [-] going to Aoba, Ninja Mountain City. Until you return to Konoha safely, we will be responsible for your safety."

Nantian Masaki's facial features were crowded together, and he looked quite festive: "Then I will ask Yamashiro Shinobu."

A group of people boarded the carriage waiting at the village gate, otherwise it would take at least two months to reach the Temple of Fire with the footsteps of Nanada Masaki.

"drive!"

The coachman raised his whip, and the carriage slowly drove out of Konoha.
