Chapter 147 Kabuto Yakushi's Request

What should we do next?

Kurenai looked at Shirokumo and Aoba and pondered for a while.

According to the procedure Might Guy mentioned, the Chunin Exams are no longer required, and self-introductions are also unnecessary.

It seems like nothing happened on the first day.

"How about... we just go and pick up a quest and do it?"

"Huh? We're going to do a mission on the first day? Won't it be too difficult?" Yakumo asked with some concern.

Kurenai Yuhi shook her head. "Don't worry about that. At the beginning, the genin class can only take on D-rank missions, which are usually things like picking up trash or finding pets. They're very easy."

"Huh? Isn't that too boring?"

"Then what else do you want to do?"

Kurenai glared at Yakumo, who immediately shrank back and stopped talking.

Neither Shirokumo Aoba nor Hinata said much.

The former never had high expectations for D-level missions, while the latter simply preferred peace and quiet, and didn't care about any missions as long as he was with Baiyun Qingye.

However, Kurenai Yuhi explained, "All newly graduated genin can only take on D-rank missions. Only after you have completed a certain number of D-rank missions and accumulated enough experience can you take on C-rank and above missions."

"These are Konoha's rules, and if you want to participate in the Chunin Exams, you must complete enough D-rank missions."

"Okay~ But as long as I'm with Aoba, I shouldn't be bored."

"..."

Kurenai Yuhi no longer wanted to deal with her love-struck apprentice.

He took the three of them directly to the Hokage Building to receive the mission.

……

"Are we going to carry out a mission on the very first day?"

Shizune looked at Kurenai with some surprise.

The process of accepting missions in Konoha is very rigorous.

The team of Jonin needs to first go to the mission hall to accept the mission, then go to the Hokage for approval, and finally, after completion, they need to prepare a mission report and submit it to the Hokage for review.

This is why the Hokage is so busy every day, yet doesn't know what he's busy with.

That is to say, Tsunade established a secretariat; otherwise, given Tsunade's personality, she probably wouldn't want to continue after a couple of days.

"Mainly, I don't have much to teach them, so I might as well just do missions. I don't know why the Hokage arranged for me to be their team leader Jonin."

Kurenai Yuhi's expression was somewhat helpless, while Shizune glanced at Aoba Shirakumo unintentionally upon hearing this.

If Kurenai Yuhi knew that the real reason was because she was the weakest of all the Jonin leading the team, she would be in trouble.

She'd definitely be so angry she'd have a mental breakdown, and she'd be so anxious and upset.

"Haha, that's true. Lady Tsunade must have her reasons for making this arrangement."

Silent smiled awkwardly and stamped the task sheet.

Kurenai then led Shirokumo and Aoba to the riverbank.

That's right.

Their first task.

It's about cleaning up the trash on the river surface...

Kurenai Yuhi originally thought it would be a simple but time-consuming task.

But after Baiyun Qingye created more than a dozen shadow clones, he fell silent.

Tsunade also taught him the Shadow Clone Technique; it's always good to have more skills.

The dozen or so shadow clones quickly cleaned up the entire lake surface.

He finally looked at Kurenai and said, "Kurenai-neechan, how about we go and take on another mission?"

Kurenai looked at him for a while, sighed, and shook her head.

"No need, let's call it a day. How about I treat you to Ichiraku Ramen tonight?"

Neither Yakumo nor Hinata spoke; instead, they looked at Shirakumo Aoba…

This scene made Kurenai's lips twitch again.

good good!

So you sidelined her on the very first day, didn't you?

Who exactly is the Jonin leading this team?

Who understands? Two people in one team are obsessed with love, this team is impossible to lead.

"I'm fine!"

Baiyun Qingye naturally had no objection to such a good thing as someone treating her to a meal.

However, he was somewhat worried about whether Yuhiko's wallet could hold up.

Hinata is incredibly strong right now!

Shirokumo Aoba moved closer to Yuhi Kurenai, tugged at her sleeve, and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Sister Hong, remember to bring plenty of money tonight."

The warm breeze blowing past her ears made Yuhi Kurenai's ears turn slightly red. She was stunned for a moment before she immediately realized what was happening.

She almost forgot about Hinata's appetite.

She's not exactly short of money, but it would be quite awkward if she didn't bring enough and had to borrow from students, or if she treated them to a meal but didn't let them eat their fill.

"You're quite thoughtful. I understand. See you tonight."

Kurenai pinched Shirokumo Aoba's cheek and then left.

"Aoba, what did you just say to the teacher?"

As soon as Kurenai left, Yakumo moved closer to Aoba Shirakumo.

"It's nothing, it's still early before dinner. Do you have any plans?"

The two were immediately drawn to the topic, and Yakumo thought for a moment, "How about we go shopping together? I need to buy some summer clothes."

"I'm fine with it, Hinata, what do you think?"

Shirokumo Aoba nodded, then looked at Hinata.

"I'm fine with it too."

Hinata nodded obediently.

Finally, the three of them went to a clothing store and each bought two sets of clothes. Afterwards, they wandered aimlessly around the streets.

One minute they'd be playing street games at a stall, the next they'd be buying snacks to satisfy their cravings...

Time flew by and it was evening.

The three of them practically gave Kurenai Yuhi, the new teacher, a real beating.

After agreeing on a time to meet the next day, they each went home.

Returning to the ancestral home of the Senju family.

Tsunade lay lazily on the sofa.

"I heard you've completed a D-rank mission, which means you've officially become ninjas. How does it feel?"

"It's alright, it's just so-so."

Baiyun and Qingye answered casually.

"It's your first time, and you're with two adorable little girls, don't you feel excited at all?"

Tsunade sat up straight, crossed her legs, and raised her delicate feet.

"Uh... it's just so-so," Shirokumo Aoba said briefly.

"The task was too easy; it ended before I even realized it."

"Too easy?"

Tsunade thought for a moment, considering the strength of Shirakumo Aoba's team, and nodded.

There's really no need to do low-level tasks step by step like other squads.

We could speed things up a bit and try to take on some more challenging tasks sooner.

After all, they are all geniuses, and it is indeed a waste for them to spend their days picking up trash.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something.

"By the way, I happen to have a task here that's neither too big nor too small."

"What mission?"

Baiyun Qingye showed a curious expression.

Do you know the orphanage outside the village?

"Orphanage?"

"The director of that orphanage used to be Root's top spy. Later, she left Root and established an orphanage outside Konoha Village."

"There are many children of school age in that orphanage. The request was to invite them to participate in the entrance exam next month."

Baiyun Qingye was puzzled. "Don't they want to go to the ninja academy?"

Tsunade shook her head. "This request was issued by Kabuto Yakushi, and it's considered a C-rank mission."

"From what he said, the director of the orphanage was very opposed to the children there becoming ninjas, so as long as he could persuade the other party, the mission would be completed."

Kabuto Yakushi was also a ninja who was assigned to Konoha Hospital after Root disbanded. He had a high level of medical talent, even stronger than Skui.

"So, what do you think? Want to take this mission?"
