Pokémon Ninja Scrolls of the Mizukage

Chapter 21 C-level mission

Three days have passed since the reorganization of the Qing team.

Apart from occasional instructions during these three days, Qing only led the three kids to complete four of the simplest D-level tasks.

It was also to take care of the two people, Jianchuan Tachibana and Momochi Zabuza, who had just become Genin. Through this simplest task, the two of them were familiar with the process of ninjas receiving and executing tasks.

Ninja missions are divided into five levels: D~S:

D-level tasks are usually the simplest tasks that do not require combat, such as taking care of pets, fishing, and farming.

C-level missions are slightly more difficult, meaning you may get hurt while performing the mission. However, they usually face ordinary people, such as capturing wild animals and eliminating bandits.

B-level missions are more dangerous and may involve fighting with hostile ninjas. You need to be a Chunin or above to accept them. The missions may even include dangerous activities such as assassinating ninjas and undercover spies.

As for A-level and S-level missions, they can only be undertaken by jonin. These two types of missions often involve crises and secrets of the ninja village or the country, and require facing high-level combat forces from other countries or even destroying the entire ninja army.

Although the team leader Qing is a jonin, in a newly formed team like this, the jonin usually plays a more guiding role and will not participate in the mission.

Therefore, the team still accepts missions according to the combat power standards of three Genin, and accepts D-level and C-level missions.

Qing was happy to see his disciples busying around, and to have a veteran like Terumi Mei, who had graduated a year ago, to guide him, while he could just sit back and do nothing and earn money.

However, since the Hidden Mist Village is different from Konoha, the D-level missions themselves are not taken seriously by the village. In addition, due to the recent pre-war preparations, the number of such missions is even rarer.

So Qing agreed and took on a C-level mission today for everyone to practice.

Jianchuan Ju felt good about this, as it was just as he had guessed before. The official mission issued by the Ninja Village was indeed approved by the system.

In the four D-level tasks in the past two days, I got 5 gold coins for each one. This is equivalent to gaining a new channel for gold coins in addition to daily tasks and achievements.

Just in time today, I can find out how much gold coin rewards there are for C-level tasks.

After picking and choosing, the four of them left the mission center.

After walking out of the Mizukage Building, Mei Terumi still complained somewhat indignantly.

"Teacher Qing, are you trying to make things difficult for us by choosing a mission like 'rescue a child kidnapped by pirates'? It would be better to choose the previous one, which was to capture a pregnant tiger shark for the nobles of the Water Country."

Qing was also a little embarrassed about this.

But it's no wonder that Mei Terumi felt the mission was bad. This mission was issued by villagers in a remote area on the border of the Water Country.

The low reward for the mission is only one aspect. At the same time, since the villagers themselves have little intelligence capabilities, this type of mission is usually only the simplest, such as basic information such as a certain pirate near a certain sea area.

Moreover, most pirates' looting trips often last for a long time, so it is undoubtedly difficult to find these pirates in the vast ocean.

The reward is low, the journey is long, and the task is complicated. It can be said to be the least cost-effective type of C-level task.

"We can't help it. The number of village missions has been reduced recently. The original intention was to prepare for war. However, in order to maintain the expenses of the tribesmen, the big families have been accepting missions crazily recently. C-level and B-level missions are too popular."

Jianchuan Tachibana had some understanding of this when chatting with Saigyouji Keiko and Hoshigaki Kisame these two days, so she also spoke up to help Qing explain it.

"What Ju is saying is correct. But this mission is not without benefits. Since the mission was just issued, it seems that the issuer has not left the village yet. We can get some information from him first."

Qing Jianchuanju spoke up to explain for himself and quickly took over the conversation.

However, Qing also knew that Mei Terumi was only complaining verbally and would still perform her mission wholeheartedly.

Zabuza was still standing there with a cool expression on his face and didn't say a word. Oh, no. It was a cool expression with a bandage on.

The three arrived at the inn where the person who issued the task was staying.

I can only say that I didn't expect that Kirigakure, one of the five major ninja villages, could have such a simple hotel. If the black sign on the door of the hotel was not a little uneven and not completely covered by dirt, no one would know that this was a hotel.

Looking at the inn door which was half covered by vines, the four of them pushed the door open with a bit of helplessness.

For the purpose of training students, Qing basically just watched this simple task.

"Hello, we're looking for Hugo." As a senior, Mei Terumi stepped forward and asked.

The lady at the front desk didn't say a word, but just raised her chin and pointed it at a young man in simple clothes who was sitting in a daze in the corner of the lobby.

The young man's haggard face had obvious features of a coastal fisherman. His clothes were very simple short-sleeved shirt and long pants, with many salt stains left by the sea water.

His skin was tanned and rough from the sun and wind, and his arms and shoulders were particularly muscular from years of fishing and boating.

It’s just that he must have been worried recently and hasn’t been eating or sleeping enough, which has caused him to look haggard and weak.

Jianchuan Ju subconsciously analyzed the person in the corner and concluded that he should be the one who issued the task.

The three little ones walked quickly up to the man.

Although Mei Terumi's voice was not small when she was at the front desk just now, given her mental state, she obviously did not notice the previous voice.

It was not until the three people came closer that the middle-aged man raised his eyes and looked at the three people coming over.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you, three ninja masters?"

Since the three of them were obviously wearing ninja costumes and the Hidden Mist Village forehead protectors, Mr. Hugo naturally would not treat them as just ordinary children, and there was a hint of respect in his tone.

With Mei Terumi's personality, she wouldn't be shy about it. She introduced the trio openly and explained that they were there to learn more details.

The man began to narrate in a low voice with a sad face.

"Our village is an ordinary village near the border of the Water Country. We make a living by fishing. Although our life is poor, we are very happy."

"."

Jianchuan Ju saw that this person seemed to be preparing to speak for a long time and felt speechless, so he had to interrupt him.

"Get to the point! Is there any useful information?"

His emotions were suddenly interrupted and the fisherman was still a little dazed.

Mei Terumi also looked at Tachibana Kanegawa with some reproach, but did not refute it.

Seeing this, the man continued.

"There were about 30 or 40 pirates who attacked our village, and they only had one ship."

"Not only was the property of our village looted, but seven children were also kidnapped. Money is not important. I just hope that Master Ninja can rescue the children." The man restrained his emotions a little and looked at everyone expectantly.

"The hostages kidnapped by pirates may not be alive." Zabuza pointed out the problem calmly.

Mei Terumi felt a little sorry for the situation and said, "Since the pirates specifically kidnapped children, there must be a reason. They wouldn't kill them so quickly. If we find the pirates' lair, maybe we can rescue these children."

"The prerequisite is to find the pirates' lair." Jianchuan Ju also reminded Terumi Mei in time.

However, the man named Hugo said weakly at this time: "I may know where the pirates' lair is."
