Hokage: I really don't want to work hard!Kakashi

Is Naruto late too?That's right, it's normal for him to know in advance that I will be late and what excuse he will use.

"Well, there's no need to be so excited. I'm here right now, right? Let's go in and take over the mission."

Kakashi changed the subject and walked into the Hokage building first. Although Sakura was still angry, she had no choice but to follow behind.

The first task Kakashi received was to clean up garbage in the river. It was a D-level task and a task that every graduating class must complete.

"Okay, let's go. If you move faster, you might be able to do another task today."

Kakashi handed over the task list to everyone. The task was very simple. It was to go to the designated section of the river to collect garbage. There was no difficulty or danger, so the reward was only 800 taels. Each person was given 200 taels, and they even got to eat. A bowl of deluxe ramen for less than Ichiraku.

At the bend of a small river, Sakura and Sasuke were digging out rubbish in the water. Kakashi was leaning under a tree by the river and reading a book, while Naruto was lying on the branch of the tree chewing apples.

Sakura rummaged through the trash, glanced at Naruto, rummaged through the trash and glanced at Naruto. Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer, so she picked up a plastic bag filled with water from the river and threw it towards Naruto.

Naruto tilted his head and easily dodged it, continuing to chew on the apple as if he didn't know anything.

"It's okay if Kakashi-sensei doesn't clean up the river, why don't you come too!"

"Huh? There's nothing I can do about it. My leg is injured and I can't go into the water."

"What? Your leg was injured? When did it happen? Why haven't I heard you say that before?"

Now Sakura would not easily believe a word of Naruto, so as soon as Naruto gave her reasons, she immediately raised her doubts. Naruto shrugged and looked down at Kakashi.

"I'm really not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Kakashi. He hurt me with his own hands, right? Brother Kakashi."

Kakashi was so absorbed in reading that he didn't listen carefully at all. Now that he was suddenly mentioned, he couldn't react for a while.

"Huh? Huh? What?"

"My leg is injured. You did it. Is this the case?"

"Injured? Hmm~~ It seems... yes, but which time are you talking about? I have hurt you too many times, and I can't remember which time it was."

Due to Naruto's laziness, the task of cleaning the river was not completed until the afternoon. Kakashi took everyone to hand in the task, but was called directly to the Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage had a pipe in his mouth, still looking kind and easy-going. After confirming the task of cleaning up the river, he handed a document to Kakashi.

"Kakashi, there is a C-level mission here, I'll leave it to you."

"Huh? C-level mission? Hokage-sama, our class has just done a D-level mission. We haven't met the requirements for a C-level mission, right?"

Kakashi knows very well that the newly graduated class must complete a sufficient amount of D-level tasks before they can take on C-level tasks. Now they have just completed a D-level task, which is far from the required amount. Logically speaking, they are not qualified at all. Accepting C-level missions.

The third generation nodded and glanced at Naruto meaningfully.

"Just have a bottom line. If we continue to do D-level missions, some people will be unhappy, right?"

Kakashi nodded in agreement, but Naruto was a little confused.

【what's the situation?A third-generation old man takes the initiative to give a C-level mission?Didn’t I give it because I made such a big fuss?This is not the right time. For the mission to the Kingdom of Waves, you should have to wait until the guy from the Kingdom of Waves arrives. That guy must not have arrived in Konoha yet. 】

Naruto instinctively thought that the C-level mission given by the Third Hokage was a mission from the Kingdom of Waves. Being confused, Kakashi was stunned for a moment and looked at the document in his hand, but it was not a mission from the Kingdom of Waves.

The Third Hokage took a puff of cigarette, picked up an identical document, and began to explain.

"So, Team [-], your mission this time is to go to a village west of Konoha to annihilate a group of bandits, and after the annihilation, return the property plundered by the bandits to the local villagers. You should set off as soon as possible. It will be a day late. It is possible that more villagers may have been harmed."

"Yes!"

[What, it turned out to be a mission to exterminate bandits?I thought it was the mission to the Kingdom of Waves, but forget it, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the mission to the Kingdom of Waves is not a very important mission to me. If I miss it, I will miss it. 】

After knowing the content of the mission, although Naruto was a little disappointed, he was not too entangled. The mission to the Kingdom of Waves in the original book was a relatively important mission for Team [-]. After that mission, everyone became stronger, but for now For Naruto, that's it, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not. At most, he just lost an opportunity to travel abroad.

The next day, everyone gathered and set off immediately. There was not much risk to the ninjas in exterminating the bandits. Even ninjas who had just graduated from the ninja school were much stronger than ordinary bandits, not to mention there was a teacher who led the team, but with Compared with the escort mission, this is indeed a more urgent mission.

As the Third Hokage said yesterday, if you go one day late, more villagers will be harmed. Although they are just ordinary villagers, this is related to the face of the Fire Country, so without any reason, even Kakashi Don't dare to delay easily.

"The battle is about to begin. Sakura and Sasuke, please tell me what you know first so that I can make battle arrangements."

Kakashi said as he hurried on, Sakura was the first to answer: "I know the Three Body Jutsu and Shuriken."

"Well, where's Sasuke?"

"I know shuriken, fire escape, and genjutsu."

It was normal for Sasuke to know shuriken and fire style, but he actually knew genjutsu, which surprised Naruto.

"Huh? Erzhu, do you know how to perform illusions? When did you learn it?"

"Didn't I learn it from the scroll you gave me? Didn't you really read that scroll?"

Now Sasuke no longer reacts to Naruto calling him "Two Pillars". He has become accustomed to it. Instead, he is always worried about the scroll. He always thought that the scroll was given to him by Itachi, but Naruto cannot say that it was Izumi. It was given to him, so I have always misunderstood it.

"Oh! So it turned out that the scroll recorded was an illusion? I really didn't know. Didn't I tell you that at the time? I just helped deliver it and didn't read the content."

Although the bandit's lair was within the Land of Fire, due to the need to accommodate Sasuke and Sakura's speed, it was already late at night when the group arrived at the bandit's location.

Everyone stopped by a small stream. Looking up, they could see a towering mountain not far ahead. From here, they could see the steepness of the mountain, but they could not see the road up the mountain. It was full of thorns and cliffs. If For ordinary people, it would be very difficult just to go up without knowing the road, but for ninjas, this kind of terrain is nothing.
