Starting from Hokage

"Work hard! Young people! This is youth!"

"Yes, Teacher Akai!"

"Yes……"

"Naruto, why do you look so lethargic?"

"...Yes!" Suddenly raising his head, Naruto pulled his neck and roared in response, which satisfied the proud blue beast beside him.

Metkai Jonin is away from the village for most of the year, and once he is in the village, he will personally take Xiao Li and Naruto to exercise.

It didn't matter that he had to be called up to run around the village before dawn, but what made Naruto find it most unacceptable was Metkai's indescribable taste.

Before dawn, three men in green tights had already started running around the village. The most frightening thing was that two of them were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Naruto, this is not allowed. If you are always so lacking in energy, you will be surpassed by Xiao Li one day."

"Haha." Listening to Teacher Akai's warning, even though he knew that the other party meant well, he still couldn't help but respond in response.

(With the attributes of a hot-blooded idiot, can you have unlimited energy and spirit? This kind of thing completely lacks material conditions and theoretical derivation basis, right?)

However, Akai didn't care what Naruto was thinking. He was running in front, shouting his goal of running around the village ten times before breakfast, and sweating like a symbol of youth. He ran in front of Akai and Li. Naruto, who was between Locke, had a strange look on his face.

At this time, when the three of them were walking along the path between the village and the forest, they accidentally met Tiantian's father who was struggling to tow the truck, and Tiantian who was helping push him behind the truck.

"day by day!"

"Oh!? Naruto, Xiao Li, Metkai Jounin...are you exercising so early?" the girl with a round head, whose face was flushed from exhaustion, asked while wiping sweat.

"Do you have a day off today? You are buying goods, where are the cattle?" Metkai asked while running in place.

"The cow stepped on a sharp stone and injured its leg. It was not far from the village, so I tied the cow to the roadside and took Tiantian to deliver the goods to the village first." Tiantian's father, a man in black and gray clothes The middle-aged man in cloth robe stood up in front of the car and spoke.

Although I run a weapons store and always give discounts to students and teachers every day, it is still a hard-working business. I have to go out to buy goods before dawn. The ox pulling the cart is injured, so I have to be the oxen to pull the cart. .

"Hahaha, since we met today, let's treat it as a mission. Brother Tejiu, do you mind treating us to breakfast?"

"Of course... of course there is no problem." Tiantian's father did not know how to refuse, wiping the sweat from his forehead and responded with a smile.

(Please, Uncle Kai, treat us three big eaters to breakfast. Isn’t it all for nothing?)

In any case, without any explanation, Metkai walked to the front of the car and untied the rope from Shoujiutianfu's body, put it on himself, and then he pulled the truck forward.In fact, Uncle Kai is much stronger than the cow. He can pull it alone, but Naruto, Xiao Li, and Tiantian's father still help push and support him from behind.

As for Tiantian, she was called by her father to take care of the cows.

The four of them pushed the goods all the way back to the village and Tiantian's weapons shop. Then, instead of staying at Tiantian's house for breakfast as he said before, Metkai took Naruto directly with him on the grounds that the exercise had not been completed. Xiao Li continued to run around the village.

The car was pulled and pushed all the way, but Akai’s previously set training goal did not decrease at all, and he still ran ten laps.Regarding this, both Akai and Xiao Li took it for granted. Even if Naruto smiled bitterly, he could only endure it. Anyway, it was impossible for him to be unable to bear it before Xiao Li.

When the three of them ran back along the original road, they happened to meet Tiantian again, who was crying and walking back on the road.

"Tiantian, didn't you go to take care of the cows?"

"Cow, my cow, it's gone." Covering his face with his hands, he squatted on the ground and cried. A cow is a valuable asset, even if the economic level of Konoha Village is far higher than that of the whole country, a strong cow is A large and valuable livestock.

"Haha, I thought it was just a D-level transportation mission, but I didn't expect it to be a series of missions. Naruto, Xiao Li, your mission today is to help Tiantian find her lost cow. If you can't do it, Today’s training plan will be doubled!”

"Yes, Teacher Akai!" Hearing this, Xiao Li responded with enthusiasm and confidence.

(Please, at least understand the specific situation before agreeing. What if the cow has been eaten by a wild beast?)

He murmured in his mind and shook his head.

Naruto leaned down and reached out to pat Tenten on the shoulder and said: "Okay, after all, you are a ninja apprentice. How can you not find an animal as big as an ox? Is the tracking class in vain?"

"Ahua, Ahua is very good and obedient. He didn't run away on his own. He was stolen." As he said this, Xiao Tiantian, whose eyes were swollen from crying, took out a broken stick from his pocket. The rope was broken, and the moment they saw the rope, both Metkai and Naruto, who had not taken it seriously, suddenly turned pale.

"This is a mark that was cut with a sharp weapon. Tiantian, you did the right thing. You really can't rush into this situation. Now, take us to the scene."

As the strongest military organization in the Fire Country, Konoha is somewhat similar to the Fubing system. It is enshrined by the entire Fire Country, so it has a prosperous economy. Therefore, the villagers are simple, do not pick up things on the road, do not close their homes at night, and take other people's cattle. Generally speaking, It would not be done by the villagers of Konoha Village, because it is not worth going to jail for a cow or even losing the identity of a villager of Konoha Village.

"Teacher Kai, this mission may require fighting. If the opponent is not very strong, can you not intervene?" Under the guidance of Tiantian, when the group of people were rushing in the direction of the lost cow, Naruto, who was carrying a samurai sword, said this road.

This is not a weight-bearing. This sword was used by Naruto when he was sparring with Akai after training. Because it was impossible for him to really hurt Teacher Akai now, what Naruto was carrying was A real sword with a sharp edge.

"Well, we'll see what happens when the time comes." At this time, Akai, who had always seemed reckless, became cautious. He didn't directly agree, but just said we'd see it when the time comes.

The four of them came to the location where the cow Ahua was lost every day. There were still blood stains and traces of the cow lying under the tree. At the same time, there was a scar on the tree trunk.

"Ahua, she was here before. I asked her to stay here. She has always been very good, but... she disappeared when I came back. Wuwu, it's nothing to be taken away. They, they don't Will you kill it? Poor Ah Hua, I'm sorry for you."

Amidst Tiantian's crying, Naruto walked to the side of the tree trunk and stared at the scar made by the chop.

"It was chopped with a large ax weapon weighing at least [-] kilograms...Tiantian, don't cry. If we act fast enough, you still have a chance to rescue your Ahua. If we are slower, we will go there." I can only eat hot food."

"You...you mean Ahua is not dead yet?" Tenten automatically filtered out what Naruto said later and asked.

"If it were you, would you kill a cow and then carry it away? Of course you would take it to a resting and camping place and then slaughter it. If you care about the taste, you would also set up a pot to make soup...Tiantian, you Listen to me explain, the liquid around my mouth is really not because I have any inappropriate thoughts about Ahua."

After being teased several times in a row, Tenten finally couldn't bear it anymore and chased Naruto to beat him, but her mood finally eased.

"Okay, okay. Now it's time to show off your real skills and rescue the kidnapped Ahua from the hands of the exiled ninjas. Mission goal: rescue the still alive Ahua." After clapping his hands, Naruto looked straight, So said.

"With Teacher Akai's level, he should have noticed the other party's traces, but the teacher hasn't said anything yet, and is obviously unwilling to intervene. So... Xiao Li, Tiantian, with the knowledge of tracking techniques you learned in Ninja School, Find the traces of Ahua’s departure.”

"Naruto, how do you know that your opponent is an exiled ninja?" Suddenly, Akai, who had been holding his arms beside him, asked.

"First, of course, it is because of the traces of weapons left on the tree trunks. Second, Konoha is in the core area of ​​the Country of Fire. If you are just an ordinary refugee, it is actually difficult to cross the border so far and get close to Konoha Village. In addition, the grass ninjas from the grass country in the west of the country of fire are currently fighting with the rain ninja from the rain country. Therefore, I judge that it should be the escape ninja from the grass country or the rain country? My personal preference is the grass country. The country's ninjas are weak and the ninja villages are weak, so their genin prefer to use heavy weapons."

"Don't underestimate each other because of preconceived notions. Arrogance and contempt are the enemies of ninjas."

"Yes, Teacher Akai." At this moment, Naruto bowed his head in sincerity, because Metkai was imparting important ninja experience to him.

"Naruto, Xiao Li, I found it!" At this moment, Tiantian shouted softly. After calming down, she took out a small brush from her ninja tool bag and swiped the nearby ground to find the object that had been deliberately hidden by someone. footsteps of humans and animals.

(Have you finally found the trace? Very good, the only thing left is to rush over and fight.) In fact, Naruto learned the tracking technique far better than Tiantian and Xiao Li, because he mastered the Feng Yuan Breath Condensation Technique, Therefore, Naruto put a lot of thought into the course of tracking and counter-tracking. However, Naruto did not say that it was all due to the efforts of Tiantian and Xiao Li. If the rescue was timely and the cow Ahua was saved, that would be great. If it's a step too late and fails, then it might not be a bad thing for Tiantian.

Of course, you can also hold a tooth festival by the way, but Naruto will not say anything about it.
