Becoming a God by Increasing Favorability in Naruto

"For this mission, you'll need to team up with Tenten, who took the Chunin Exams alongside you, and another special jonin," Tsunade instructed, handing Furen a list of the mission participants.

"Two special jonin and one genin for a mission?" Furen raised an eyebrow as he opened the scroll, noting the mission's difficulty level as D-rank. Generally, D-rank missions are meant for fresh graduates from the ninja academy, often involving simple tasks like finding lost cats or capturing wild animals causing trouble for villagers. However, the unusual inclusion of two special jonin hinted at something more significant.

After reading the details, Furen realized that the mission involved retrieving kunai, explosive tags, and shuriken from a weapons research facility located outside Konoha. Following the recent attack on Konoha by the Sound and Sand Villages, the village's weapon supply had been severely depleted, necessitating this resupply from an external depot.

"Tenten's unique ability to store large quantities of weapons is perfect for this mission. No wonder she was chosen," Furen murmured, recognizing Tenten's role in the task.

"Indeed, her skill is rare," Tsunade nodded. "Although the depot isn't far outside Konoha, you must stay vigilant."

After leaving the Hokage's office, Furen went to gather his teammates. One of the special jonin had already been waiting outside and was instructed to wait by the village gate, while Furen headed to Tenten's house.

"Tenten, are you in?" Furen knocked on her door.

"Just a minute..." came Tenten's voice from inside, followed by the soft, hurried sound of bare feet on the floor.

A small crack opened in the door, revealing Tenten's face peeking through. Having just finished her bath, Tenten's face was still damp, her hair hanging down loosely instead of in her usual twin buns.

"H-Hinata… Wait, what?" Tenten's eyes widened upon seeing Furen at her doorstep, her hand gripping the door slightly trembling. "F-Furen? What are you doing here?"

Tenten had thought it was her close friends visiting, and so had only thrown on a bathrobe after her shower.

Noticing the situation, Furen smirked and said, "What? You're not going to invite me in after I've come all this way?"

"O-Of course not!" Tenten pressed her back against the door, avoiding his gaze. With her hair down, she looked even more charming, with an air of innocence that made her seem almost like a different person.

"Uh…" Tenten glanced at Furen nervously, her cheeks turning red as she looked down.

"Tenten, what are you doing...?" she murmured.

Tenten's favorability has increased by 5%

Furen pulled out the mission scroll like a magician. "Here. The Fifth Hokage herself specially assigned you to this mission."

Tenten instinctively stepped forward, reaching out for the scroll. In doing so, her robe slipped slightly, nearly falling off.

"Ah!" she gasped, quickly pulling it back up.

Tenten's favorability has increased by 10%

Sensing it was time to stop teasing her, Furen playfully lifted Tenten and set her gently onto the sofa. "I'll wait outside. Get ready quickly."

After Tenten finished dressing, Furen led her to the village gate, where they joined the other special jonin before heading outside. The journey to the weapons research depot went smoothly, without any interruptions. Along the way, Furen noted that the number of guards patrolling the area had doubled since his last mission, likely due to increased vigilance.

"Thirty thousand kunai, sixty thousand shuriken, twenty thousand explosive tags, and every type of ninja pouch..." Tenten read off the mission list, handing it to the depot manager. One by one, the supplies were packed into scrolls by Tenten, whose weapon-storing skills earned her admiring glances from the other special jonin.

"War is truly expensive," the other special jonin muttered, picking up an explosive tag. "Each one of these costs about five thousand ryo. A relatively safe B-rank mission barely pays fifty to one hundred fifty thousand ryo, which would cover only a handful of these tags."

"Money, huh?" Furen mused, suddenly reminded of something important. He had access to an entire treasury from the Land of Snow.

"Come to think of it... I'm actually quite rich," he murmured, opening his system interface with a satisfied smile.
