Chapter 123: Task Overview
"Then, Kiba, do you
understand the general situation of this mission?" Morino Shinsuke asked
after a few narrations.
Kiba nodded and said, "I
understand."
"Well, then, let's disband
for today. We will gather at the entrance of the village at eight o'clock
tomorrow and set off for the Land of Grass in the morning," Morino Shinsuke
said.
"Okay!" Kiba nodded,
drank the last sip of red bean soup, stood up, and was about to leave.
Fujiki Shigeru had a disdainful
smile on the corner of his mouth, snorted softly, and left directly. Kiuchi
Taketo, on the side, saw Fujiki Shigeru's actions, and anger flashed across his
face, his hands on his thighs clenched into fists.
This expression, Kiuchi Taketo's
expression, needless to say, Kiba knew he had almost run out of patience.
However, Kiba didn't care about
it. His current mind was completely focused on this task.
Unexpectedly, the first task is a B-level task, and
it was upgraded from a C-level to a B-level task.
This is an underestimated task, which also shows
that it is difficult. There were three waves of ninjas to complete this task,
but none of them succeeded. Even one of the three waves was led by Namikaze
Minato.
"Then, Captain Morino, I will
take my leave first," Kiba said, seeing that Fujiki Shigeru had left.
"Hmm." Morino Shinsuke
nodded without any change in expression on his face, not taking Fujiki
Shigeru's rudeness to heart.
Kiba didn't say goodbye to Kiuchi
Taketo. Anyway, he wouldn't respond, so Kiba didn't bother.
Kiba glanced at the positions of
Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarai just now and found that they had already left.
Then he went straight away.
When Kiba left, it seemed he heard
Kiuchi Taketo's dissatisfaction finally break out, complaining for his teacher.
However, from Kiba's imagination,
Morino Shinsuke probably still had that expression, maybe saying a few words to
Kiuchi Taketo.
Of course, Kiba wouldn't care
about these. His mind was full of an overview of this task.
The goal of the mission was to
eradicate the thieves in a village on the border between the Land of Grass and
the Land of Fire. In the world of Naruto, there were not only major ninja
villages but also ordinary villages and towns. In addition to the tasks
directly entrusted to Konoha Ninja Village by the country, Konoha Ninja
Village's other sources of tasks were also another source of income.
The annual income from tasks in
such towns and villages was quite considerable. Because of the strength of
Konoha Village, some villages and towns in small countries would bypass their
Ninja Village and entrust Konoha. Even some small Ninja Villages would also
entrust Konoha.
For example, the removal of the
bandits was entrusted four times in total. The first time was entrusted by a
small town called Shandeng on the border of the Land of Fire. This group of
thieves had carried out several large-scale robberies in Shandeng Town, causing
panic. At that time, it was a commission from Shandeng Town. Konoha accepted
the commission and killed the leader of the bandits. The bandits fell apart,
completing the commission.
The second time was an entrustment
from a remote village at the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of
Fire. Konoha also accepted that entrustment. This time, it was discovered from
the intelligence that this group of thieves was the same as before. The leader
who was killed was among them. This time, Konoha sent an elite Jōnin to lead
the team, killed the leader again, and many bandits, solving the banditry.
The third time was commissioned by
Hidden Grass Village. The gang of thieves reappeared, and the leader was still
alive. Namikaze Minato and two other elite Chunin carried out the mission.
During the battle, Namikaze Minato killed the leader. Because of the special
circumstances of the previous two times, Konoha issued a special order to wipe
out these bandits.
Namikaze Minato completed the task
brilliantly, wiping out this group of about a hundred bandits.
Konoha thought the bandit trouble
had finally been solved.
Unexpectedly, the day before
yesterday, Hidden Grass Village commissioned again to remove the banditry on
the border. The bandit leader appeared again, causing chaos on the border
between the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire.
But this time, due to the increase
in commissions, Konoha Village couldn't allocate manpower and originally wanted
to refuse. However, the Landof Fire suddenly issued a commission, asking Konoha
to remove the banditry on the border.
At this time, Konoha Village felt
it was unusual and couldn't refuse the commission from the Landof Fire, so they
accepted it. But the only manpower available in the village was Morino Shinsuke,
who just returned from a mission, and Kiuchi Taketo. Although a little paranoid
and impulsive, Kiuchi Taketo had always completed tasks well. Based on this
situation, the Third Hokage asked Kiuchi Taketo to participate in this mission.
Fujiki Shigeru was an elite Chunin
who was originally part of the village's fixed defense force but was
transferred to this mission in desperation. Not enough for this task.
Most of the bandits were ordinary
people, but in the Namikaze Minato incident, there were already a small number
of ninjas, making it a quasi-B-level task. After this entrustment, the Third
Hokage felt it was unusual and raised the task to B level, adding an elite
Chunin to Morino's team.
Kiba
frowned slightly. The overview of this task was already very strange. The
bandit leader was resurrected twice, which was too unusual. According to Morino
Shinsuke's narration, it wasn't a reincarnation technique like Edo Tensei, nor
was it an impossible heretic technique. The idea of someone using reincarnation
to revive an unknown bandit leader seemed absurd.
It feels like a super troublesome task.
Kiba shook his head, temporarily
putting aside the mission matter. At this time, the information was limited,
and he couldn't analyze anything.
Listening to Morino Shinsuke's
narration, this group of thieves shouldn't be strong, but they couldn't be
taken lightly because of the existence of ninjas. Of course, Kiba wasn't
arrogant enough to think he could completely solve this task. What he was
thinking now was to survive this mission and complete it, even if only on the
surface. Whether the bandits would show up again, he didn't care.
Thinking about it this way, this task is an
enemy-killing task, just killing the gangsters.
Thinking of this, Kiba's brows
widened. If it was fighting, as long as he was careful enough, the current Kiba
wasn't too afraid.
Next, Kiba wanted to take
advantage of the last bit of time before the mission to go to Yuriko and ask
for experience in treating muscle injuries.
After all, as long as the muscle
injury could be treated, Kiba could basically develop the Gate of pain mode
immediately.
This is the most important thing.
Thinking about it, Kiba looked
around and headed towards Konoha Hospital. Yuriko was the resident medical
ninja there, so she must be there.
